Chapter 39: Forest of Shadows

Lin Wei took the letter from the thin old man's hand and slowly pasted it on his forehead.

At the moment when the letter paper touched the skin, a strong repulsive force flicked Lin Wei's fingers away, and in a trance, Lin Wei felt that his consciousness began to sink, which was very similar to the feeling of closing the five senses during meditation.

Lin Wei's soul seemed to be withdrawn from his body, and he came to a void space, surrounded by particles of objects that were as black as ink and resembled fine dust.

"There is a very intimate feeling...... Lin Wei can personally feel that the countless dust objects are calling to him.

Lin Wei wanted to reach out and touch them, but found that he had no physical presence in this space at all.

Scold!

Before he could react, Lin Wei felt a powerful force pull his consciousness back into his body.

The letter paper that was originally clinging to Lin Wei's forehead suddenly fell down the moment Lin Wei's consciousness returned.

Wow!

Just as the letter fell in the air, the thin old man grabbed it, and the paper made a crisp sound in his hand.

"Huh?" the thin old man glanced at the paper in his hand, a look of surprise on his face.

Lin Wei followed his gaze and suddenly noticed that there had been some changes in the letterhead. The pages that were originally extremely white slowly appeared one after another pitch-black spots, just like the countless floating particles and dust that Lin Wei saw in the consciousness space.

"What pure shadow energy...... "The thin old man couldn't help but let out a sigh.

Lin Wei had no idea about this change, and could only wait for the thin old man to explain.

The thin old man glanced up at Lin Wei, his expression was a little strange: "Good news, bad news." ”

"Please excuse me. Lin Wei humbly pleaded.

"The bad news is that you only have an affinity for shadow elements, good news...... It's because you have a very high affinity for shadow elements. The thin old man explained to Lin Wei.

Lin Wei pondered slightly: "In other words, in the future cultivation, can you only obtain the power of the shadow attribute wizard?"

The thin old man nodded: "You can understand it that way. ”

"Actually, you should be very lucky. The thin old man looked at Lin Wei's slightly worried look, and mentioned it again.

"Huh?" Lin Wei didn't know.

The thin old man did not reply immediately, but opened the drawer on the table again and took out a paper card folded in half.

The color of the card is gray and white, and there are no decorations on the surface, except for a few wizarding words engraved on the front.

"Wizard Academy Alliance......" Lin Wei immediately recognized the words on it.

The thin old man opened the folded paper card, picked up the quill pen at hand, he gently dipped the ink in his hand, and wrote something on the paper card smoothly.

"Your name?" the thin old man looked up at Lin Wei.

"Lynway Nolan Hill. Lin Wei replied.

The thin old man's hand was very fast, and after he finished writing, he gently blew on the handwriting that had not yet dried, and then closed it and handed it to Lin Wei: "Congratulations, little one, from now on you will be a student of the Shadow Forest." ”

"Forest of Shadows?" Lin Wei instantly thought of the word "Shadow" on the wizard's token.

The thin old man tapped his index finger lightly on the table, and his eyes began to droop, "Yes, the Shadow Forest is the academy you are about to step into. ”

"The shadow talent you possess is what the Shadowforest admires the most. The thin old man continued, "With your affinity for the shadow talent, you can enjoy the same resources as a fourth-class student. ”

"Thank you for your advice. Lin Wei once again expressed his gratitude to the thin old man.

The thin old man waved his hand, and suddenly patted his head: "By the way, you have to keep this notice card, and take it to the port of Balulek to gather in seven days." ”

The port of Balulek is the closest port to San Vican, and its throughput and people flow are enormous, and it is famous throughout the Huiyue Empire and even on the west coast.

As if seeing the confusion on Lin Wei's face, the thin old man patiently explained, "It's not just you who come here to test, and not everyone will be admitted to the Shadow Forest Academy. You're lucky, you'll only have to wait seven days to get to the academy, and you know, the giant ship that goes there only runs once a year. ”

Lin Wei instantly extracted the useful information in the thin old man's words.

"Port ...... Wheel...... It seems that the location of the Wizarding Academy is not on the West Coast, and it is only possible to reach it by sailing across the oceans. Lin Wei thought to himself.

"My lord, I have a question...... Lin Wei suddenly thought of the "dark wizard" that the little girl with pigtails said before.

The thin old man was very patient, although it looked a little weird, but he was more kind to Lin Wei: "You say." ”

"What is a 'dark wizard'?" Lin Wei lowered his voice slightly.

The thin old man suddenly laughed, and there was some sarcasm in his smile: "Where did you hear this name?"

Lin Wei recounted to the thin old man what he had seen when he strayed into the test site.

"It's those two little girls...... "The thin old man thought thoughtfully, and according to his tone, Lin Wei judged that this thin old man might have existed longer than the little girl called "old guy".

"Some people divide the shamans into two types according to their direction of practice and style of conduct, black wizards and white wizards. You Shadow Forest happens to be the camp of the Dark Wizards. The thin old man's eyes showed a look of nostalgia, and a hint of loneliness appeared in his tone, "It's been a long time since I've heard these two titles, I've been on the West Coast for too long......"

"Dark wizard and white wizard?" Lin Wei thought to himself, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "This sounds, the dark wizard is obviously not a positive image...... I like it, though. ”

Suddenly, Lin Wei's mind moved, and he took out a piece of the magic stone he got from Count Lamo from his waist and handed it to the thin old man: "My lord, thank you very much for your help, please accept it." ”

"Huh?" the thin old man looked surprised, "You actually have this...... Interesting. ”

But the thin old man just waved his hand: "I don't need it, you put it away." ”

Lin Wei was stunned for a moment, a little surprised, and couldn't help muttering in his heart: "Could it be that the number of magic stones I sent is too small?"

As if he saw Lin Wei's thoughts, the thin old man explained, "I just don't need this thing." ”

"You have to remember, when you get to the wizarding academy, don't show your wealth like this, the wizarding world is far more cruel than you think, especially the camp of dark wizards, where the order is ...... There is no order. The thin old man explained slowly.

"Let's go with the notification card, don't miss the time. The thin old man prompted and ordered the eviction.

Seeing this, Lin Wei didn't insist, bowed deeply, and then slowly withdrew.

As soon as he walked out of the attic, Lin Wei glanced back slightly, and a deep gaze appeared in his eyes: "This old guy ...... It doesn't seem ordinary......"
