Forest of Shadows.

It had been a few days since Lin Wei returned to the academy.

In the dark night, the sunlight flickering between the branches and leaves had also disappeared, and the pedestrians in the academy had almost disappeared.

Forbidden land, 'tower'.

Laugh at~

A pale cyan flame burned.

Lin Wei held a noodle-shaped candle in his hand, and the light enveloped him.

He stepped into a circle of blackstone.

"This time there is no weird feeling like last time...... Lin Wei felt the change in the environment, "Is it because this time I am holding this candle myself?"

Lin Wei walked to the door of the 'tower' with ease.

"Noritz didn't give me the key to the 'tower'......"

Just as Lin Wei was thinking about how to get in, the door of the 'tower' clicked and was opened from the inside.

"Come in. ”

Noritz said with his back to Linvi.

"Yes, sir. Lin Wei looked at Noritz's strange movements, and he didn't feel strange.

The last time the two of them entered the 'tower', it was like this.

"Adult......" Lin Wei walked to Noritz's side and handed Noritz the noodle-like candle in his hand with both hands.

"No need, you can take it yourself, and you'll come here often in the future. Norlitz glanced at the candle in Linwei's hand and said lightly.

Hearing this, Lin Wei nodded lightly and put the extinguished candle into his cuff.

Noritz led Lin Wei to the previous staircase.

"Today we go up. ”

Noritz glanced at Linwei.

"Yes. A look of surprise appeared in Lin Wei's eyes, but he still respectfully agreed.

Da-da-da-da!

Noritz walked very fast, and Lin Wei followed him step by step.

"This time there are no strange sounds from last time...... Lin Wei was a little puzzled, "Is it because of the reason for going upstairs instead of going downstairs?"

As if to see Lin Wei's thoughts, Norlitz suddenly spoke: "Those guys are quiet today, not because we walked up the stairs, but because there are big people from the academy coming, and they don't dare to make a mistake. ”

"The big man of the academy?" Lin Wei asked rhetorically.

"Hmm. ”

Noritz nodded and didn't continue.

"This experiment ......," Lin Wei instinctively felt that what he was about to involve was not simple.

There is something deep behind this experiment, which involves the death of his former mentor Seles.

Noritz led Linwei up layer by layer.

The curved and spiraling staircase looks like a vortex against time when viewed from above, making people feel dizzy.

"What a tall 'tower'......" Lin Wei muttered to himself.

"It's here. ”

Noritz suddenly stood still.

"It's almost the top floor......" Lin Wei looked at the stairs above, and there were only three floors that he hadn't walked.

"Follow me and watch what you say and do later. ”

Noritz looked back at Lin Wei and cautiously admonished.

This floor is different from the underground floor that Lin Wei has been to before, it has a large area, but there is no dense door, a huge wall, only a delicate wooden door.

Knock knock!

Noritz slammed the door lightly.

"Noritz?" Lynville had never heard such a hoarse voice, and the speaker seemed to have a piece of gravel in his throat.

"Yes, sir. ”

Noritz was an official wizard with a humble attitude like a servant.

"Who the hell is inside?...... could it be" Lin Wei vaguely thought of a possibility, "Second-level wizard?!"

Second-level wizard, that's the existence of the academy's patriarchal level!

"Come in. ”

Voices from inside the house came from.

As soon as the words fell, a round hole suddenly formed in the center of the wooden door, and a black wooden core was inserted into it.

Whew!

The core was cut in the middle and scattered into several sticks. The entire door panel also spread out, slowly opening like withered petals.

"A lot of people ......"

Lin Wei originally thought that there were only a few people in the house, but he didn't expect that there were more than a dozen figures standing.

The bodies of the dozen or so people all exuded the aura of formal wizards, and there was not a single wizard apprentice in the entire room.

In the middle of the dozen or so people, there was a transparent glass-like hood, and inside lay a naked person. The man had no flesh and blood, his skin was directly attached to the bones, and his eye sockets were sunken in, like a skeletal shelf.

The length of this man was filled with tubes of different thicknesses, and at the other end of the tubes were all kinds of liquid potions.

Next to the glass cover, there stood an old man with gray hair, half of his head was hairless, but the place where there was hair was very dense, and it looked a little funny.

None of the people present deliberately released their breath, but as soon as Lin Wei stepped into the door, he felt that he had become a lonely boat in the ocean, and it seemed that he was about to overturn and destroy at any time.

Especially the gray-haired old man, just by looking at Lin Wei, Lin Wei felt a chill emanating from the depths of his soul.

"My lord, this is Lin Wei, a student of Celes. ”

Noritz walked up to the white-haired old man and bowed his head humbly.

"Is the level okay?"

The white-haired old man asked.

"It's been tested. ”

Noritz replied.

"Oh?" a look of surprise flashed across the white-haired old man's face, "It's only a third-level wizard apprentice, and he has such a terrifying talent......"

But in an instant, the white-haired old man seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes suddenly looked at Lin Wei a little strange.

"Sacrifice ......," the white-haired old man sighed softly, "It's a pity. ”

"Come on, let him be involved. ”

The white-haired old man shook his hand and commanded Noritz.

"Lin Wei. Noritz turned to look at Lin Wei, "You first learn to observe the movements of a dozen wizards, and when the time comes, you will have to do it yourself." ”

"Yes, sir. ”

Lin Wei didn't know what Norlitz was talking about, but he still bowed his head and replied.

"He's the sacrifice, isn't he?"

Lin Wei leaned among the dozen people, and the white-haired old man asked Noritz in a low voice.

"Yes, my lord, he is the freshman of pure shadow qualifications. Noritz replied.

"Freshman, third-level wizard apprentice?" the white-haired old man said in surprise.

"He had taken the stone milk seedlings. Noritz continued.

A complicated look flashed in the white-haired old man's eyes, and he shook his head gently: "If he hadn't been chosen as a sacrifice, maybe in a few years, he would have a place in the upper echelons of the Shadow Forest......"

The white-haired old man said several words of "pity" in a row.

Noritz was silent.

"It's a pity, but the matter of the Holy Pearl is obviously more important...... "The white-haired old man's face was a little gloomy, "By the way, Noritz, speed up your cultivation, among the next patriarch seedlings, your leading position will soon be lost." ”

"Got it, sir. ”

Noritz lowered his head, and a flash of fierceness vanished.
