Chapter 60: Unknown Stone Tablets and Altars

In the middle of the night, in a mysterious wood, Horst walked forward with shallow and deep steps. The traces of blood dripping from the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info extend from the entrance of the playground grove to the depths of the woods.

The Assassin, who was standing at the entrance of the grove with a complicated expression, was a little hesitant, hesitating to enter. Eventually, the Assassin chose to leave.

Horst clutched his shoulders, feeling a pain in his heart, and suddenly touched something in the darkness, cold and cold.

"It's like a stone tablet. Sensing it, he relaxed when he saw that there was no Assassin behind him or elsewhere, "Perhaps, the Assassin gave up on his own initiative." No matter, lean on this stele first. ”

At this point, Horst was extremely tired. Not only physically, but also mentally.

He originally thought that for such a long time, the Ao family would not send an assassin to assassinate him, but he didn't expect that as soon as he relaxed his vigilance, he almost died at the hands of an unknown assassin. Sure enough, vigilance is still needed.

It was already the second half of midnight, and the moon in the sky, although not obscured by dark clouds, was extremely difficult to fall into the woods due to the shade of the tall trees in the trees.

The cold feeling of the stele constantly stimulated Horst's back, keeping him awake and not falling asleep.

After all, he couldn't survive the physical fatigue, and in the second half of the night, Horst wrapped himself in a mage's robe, found a place with dense grass, and fell into a deep sleep.

In this grove, there is no presence of magical beasts, this is Horst's first feeling.

From the moment I entered the grove, I didn't feel the breath of the demonic beast at all, and what I felt the most was silence and coldness.

In the office of the dean of the summoning mages, the lights were still on, and Dimite was wearing an overcoat and sitting at his desk, listening to the two students at the table tell the story.

"Horst seems to have had an accident, and we found blood in many places in the playground. Tucker looked solemn, "Dean, what do you think about this matter?"

"When you haven't got a definite answer, don't jump to conclusions that you think are impossible. Dimmit's face was complicated, "Is there a direction of blood?"

"From the entrance, dripping into the grove in the northwest corner, we did not dare to enter due to the regulations of the school regulations. Sattar added, "I don't know if this matter has anything to do with Horst, but to a large extent, those blood stains are Horst's. ”

"Alright, don't talk about it. Dimmit stopped the two of them, "According to the school rules, whoever enters the grove in the northwest corner of the playground may be severely punished, and I can understand your behavior." ”

"Looks like someone is chasing Horst. Tucker pondered, he remembered that when he was on the Northern Frontier, Horst had told him that Otis and O'Neill were dead, so now he had a new guess, "Could it be that the children of the Otis family did this?"

"It's not the children of the Ao family who did it, it's the assassins. "Dimmit is not hiding something," it was an assassin recruited by the Ao family. ”

"This matter is a bit difficult to do, first of all, Horst's life and death are not known, and secondly, if he is still alive, but according to the regulations, the grove in the northwest corner of the academy playground cannot be entered. Dimmit's brow furrowed, this rule was for students, "You guys go back first, I'll inform you if anything happens." Oh, by the way, it's best not to tell other students about this, for fear it will cause unnecessary trouble. ”

Tucker and Sattar looked a little worried when they heard this, but eventually listened to Dimitt's words and stopped asking for anything.

The next day, direct sunlight shone on Horst's face. Pale face, without the slightest bloodshot, and bloodstains can be seen on the collar, neck and other places.

"It hurts—" Horst took a long breath, and the pain in his back shoulder, like a heart, came to his mind. The wound was no longer bleeding, but it would take some time to heal without the help of the mage's potion.

"If you go out at this time, you won't be noticed, right?" Horst muttered to himself, walking in the direction of the bloodstain out of the woods.

However, after a few breaths, Horst reappeared in place. Horst's face was full of suspicion, a little incredulous, he saw that the exit was in front of him, but when he approached the exit, he somehow changed the scene in front of him to the scene when he set off.

Again, it's still the same.

At this time, Horst's face was no longer an unhealthy pale, but a bloodless pale.

"Ghost land!" he sensed, this place, no matter how you walk, you can't get out, and you will always return to the original point.

Horst's heart was furious, and cold sweat broke out on his back, and when the cold sweat seeped into the wound on the back shoulder, it was a pain that drilled his heart again, "Hiss-"!

"There's a stone monument there. Horst saw the stele he had leaned on the night before, the stele was in the daylight, with some words carved on it.

"What kind of text is this? I don't know. Horst threw aside the doubt that he couldn't get out, and was attracted by the words on the stele.

Those words are like tadpoles, like books from heaven.

"It doesn't feel like it's going to be useful. Horst was a little annoyed, because he didn't know the words, he couldn't get useful information.

I can't get out of it, my mana hasn't fully recovered, and I still have some injuries on my body. This made Horst feel helpless, and he never thought he would find himself in such a situation.

"This road leads to the depths of the woods, and I don't know what the depths are like. Horst stopped caring about the stone monument and looked at the path in front of him. Although it was daylight, the depths of the path were still very dark.

This is the imperial capital, but the location of the summoning mage academy is close to the suburbs, and it seems to be built on this piece of wood.

Without much stopping, Horst walked along the path. The wound on the back of his shoulder was painful from time to time, but Horst had no choice but to endure it.

The woods are not big, but Horst feels like he has been walking for a long time, and it still doesn't seem to have reached the end.

"What's that?" Eventually, Horst followed the path to a place where trees were tall and countless stone monuments were half-buried deep or shallow.

There was an altar, and on top of the altar there were piles of white bones, not human bones, just the bones of some demonic beasts. Horst was still able to judge the shape of the white bones, which were very different from human bones.

Not far from the altar, a stone house sits there.

"Is there a man in the stone house?" Horst saw the stone house and found a man sitting in front of the stone house, and when he walked over to take a look, he realized that he had seen it wrong. It wasn't a man at all, but a scarecrow tied with a cross.

The stone house didn't look like it had been inhabited for a long time, it seemed that someone had just left.

"Anyone?" Horst looked inside the stone house, the black hole was hollow, and he couldn't see anything. With a somewhat terrifying look, Horst finally dismissed his intention to enter it.

"These steles have a great history, but I can't read the words on them, but I can record them. "Horst has a pretty strong memory, and he can't get out of this grove anyway, so he decided to forcibly write down the words on the stele.

After doing this, Horst found some wild fruits and ate them to ward off his hunger. The mana had almost recovered, and Horst decided to stay in the stele bushes and look for some clues.

The altar was particularly eye-catching, but Horst didn't dare to look at it. That's the unknown, including the stele here. No one knows what the words on the stele mean, or why the grove never gets out.

"There is a feeling of being imprisoned, and this feeling makes me very unhappy. Horst made it to a high slope and looked at the scene in front of him, a little stunned.

"Methanemon!" Horst's eyes suddenly lit up, thinking of something, "You guys go in all directions and check if there's anything special." ”

Under the communication of ideas, the five summoned beasts transformed into three spirit pets headed in five directions.

Night was approaching, and the woods were once again dark. Above the altar, where the bones were stacked, a faint blue light flashed.

"Ghost fire!" Horst broke out in a cold sweat on his back, although he knew the essence of this kind of thing, he still left here and returned to the place where he had rested to ensure safety.

The five summoned beasts also returned to their side, and with the communication of their minds, Horst received important news.

"There is an enchantment in this place, which restricts something?" Listening to the spirit pet's report in his mind, Horst quickly understood why he always walked around here and couldn't go out of this grove, all because of the existence of a special enchantment.

Thinking of this, Horst turned back, plucked up his courage, and was no longer afraid of the blue light emitted by the pile of bones.

"It's more like a ruin, a ruin that no one else knows. Horst speculated that it was no wonder that the academy had come up with a strange rule.

There is a special barrier here, and after entering, you can only go inside, but you can't go out. This is one of the reasons, but perhaps the deeper reason is the altar, the stone monument, and the mysterious stone house in this place.

"You have to find a way to get out of the barrier here, or you won't be crazy here?" Horst walked up to the altar.

As soon as I stepped onto the altar, I immediately felt a mysterious power permeate my body. When approaching the pile of white bones, Horst was shocked to find that the white bones were not real bones, but just special stones, which had been polished into the appearance of demonic beast bones.

"How so?" became more and more mysterious, making it difficult for Horst to explain with his own knowledge.

He decided to use the summoned beast to enter the stone house and investigate.

"The night falcon has the ability to see at night, so the night falcon spirit pet can be transformed into a summoned beast to enter it and find out. Horst muttered to himself.

The Methanemon was summoned again, and the Night Falcon entered, and was then controlled by Horst and entered the stone house.

Suddenly, Horst's face sank, but then it was as if he had received a life-saving straw.

"There's a quirk in the stone house, wait a minute, there's a tunnel. ”
