Although he hasn't been here for 3 years, Ryan is still very familiar with the Royal Academy of Magic in the imperial capital, because it was an incident here that made him and Farath finally establish a relationship, and here he has also come many times to ask Victor for questions, so it can be said that he is very familiar.

After nightfall, the Royal Academy of Magic is still full of people, all because of the magic exchange conference 3 years ago, which has increased the number of people who are obsessed with magic learning on the entire continent, and the Imperial Capital Academy of Magic will certainly not let go of such a good opportunity, and in the past 3 years, a large number of new students have been recruited in order to cultivate more talents.

Ryan wandered around the academy several times, but he couldn't find a good opportunity to sneak in, and his skills were not bad, but after all, Ryan was not familiar with the thief's hidden whereabouts and other abilities, and it was really difficult to sneak into the magic tower of ** division Victor in the academy under the double protection of the defensive magic array and the academy guard patrol.

Just when Ryan was about to give up, he suddenly found an opportunity, several magic students who had just come out of the academy were walking out, each of them was wearing thick cloaks, after all, it was already late autumn, with the thin physique of these magic students, they really couldn't stand the evening breeze that was already a little chilly here in the imperial capital.

After the magic students walked out of the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, they quickly went their separate ways, one of the magic students walked alone in the direction of Nancheng, maybe because it was very late, and this student wanted to go home earlier, so he walked directly into an alley, and he could save dozens of minutes of travel through here. Anyway, he had walked this road dozens of times, and ordinary thieves would not dare to provoke magic apprentices like him, so he walked in very safely.

Less than two minutes later, the magic student came out the same way again, only this time he covered his entire cloak over his face, looking a little unable to withstand the chill of the night. The magic student walked quickly to the gate of the Imperial Capital Magic Academy and walked back, and when he entered the gate, the guard in charge of security asked curiously, "Hey, didn't you just leave?"

The magic student showed a pair of clear big eyes, he shrugged his shoulders unhurriedly and said, "Don't mention it, I forgot the borrowed note, I have to return it early tomorrow morning, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight." ”

"Oh. The guard in charge of guarding the gate nodded and didn't say anything, the recent batches of students recruited by the Imperial Capital Magic Academy are all from civilian families, they have been here for a short time, but they study very hard, and they often work hard late at night, compared to those so-called noble children, they are not a little stronger.

The magic student walked in briskly and quickly disappeared from the guard's line, and the magic student quickly ducked into the shadows as he came to a secluded corner. After removing the apprentice's cloak from the outside, Ryan quickly wrapped it up and tucked it into his storage pocket.

Anyway, Ryan finally got in, he discerned the direction a little, and soon found the approximate location of his location, and also knew how to go to Victor's magic tower, so he hid his body in the darkness as much as possible, and slowly sneaked in the direction of the target. As for the reason why Ryan didn't continue to wear that apprentice's cloak, because under normal circumstances, even high-level mages are not qualified to walk casually in the area where the mage is located, and if Ryan really wants to wear that set of things, he will clearly tell others that there is something wrong with him, and come and arrest me quickly.

The Royal Academy of Magic is full of defensive magic arrays, the most common is a magic array similar to the "Magic Vision", which can identify creatures passing through the magic array area, as long as someone passes by above, it will trigger an alarm, this kind of magic array can be very hidden in any corner of the magic academy, maybe in the corner, maybe under the bushes, people are unguarded.

It's just that Ryan is a magician who is proficient in the magic array, and he walked cautiously along the way, avoiding the magic array along the way as much as possible, and he actually broke into the area of the magic master safely. It's an area where only Magisters and above can enter and exit the Royal Academy of Magic, and security measures are even tighter.

Ryan gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, it took him a lot of energy along the way, at this time Ryan looked up at the sky, the crescent moon in the sky began to move slightly west, obviously the time was just past midnight. Ryan was startled, usually he only walked for ten minutes, but tonight he walked for a full three hours.

Ryan took a closer look at the direction, and finally found the familiar spire magic tower about 200 meters away, he breathed a long sigh of relief, ready to speed up the pace of travel, but suddenly there was a hint of alarm in Ryan's heart, his battle-hardened body had already dodged before Ryan's consciousness.

A black shadow suddenly appeared on Ryan's side, he raised his right hand, and a lightning bolt slashed at Ryan's chest, and when Ryan was alarmed, it was the moment when the lightning struck, so Ryan's body subconsciously fell backwards, but his feet were still firmly nailed to the ground.

Ryan's dodge dodged the lightning attack that was close at hand, which surprised the black shadow who shot, but the black shadow's hand did not stop, and released several lightning bolts in a row to attack Ryan. Ryan's upper body was almost on the ground, and he knew that he was under attack, so he pushed his right hand hard behind him, and his whole body began to roll backwards.

It's not the first time Ryan has dodged an enemy's attack by doing this kind of backward roll, but this kind of action is usually used to dodge the enemy's melee attack, and if the enemy has a ranged or magical attack, this backward roll can easily make himself a target for the enemy.

It's just that Ryan's backward roll subverted the perception of the black shadow, because when Ryan rolled with his strength, his body was split into three, and three vivid images of Ryan rolled out of Ryan's original body at the same time, their movements were exactly the same, and even the speed of the roll was almost the same, and there was no way to tell which was the real Ryan body with the naked eye.

The images of the three Lanes rolled to the position of their heads and feet at the same time, and then the black shadow only felt a flower in front of them, and the three images were split again, and this time, there were 9 images of Lane churning in mid-air. Of course, these images almost overlapped at the beginning of the split, but after the split, they quickly distanced themselves from each other, and their subtle differences began to appear.
