Chapter 12: The Mysterious Grove

As the central figure in this conflict, he has undoubtedly become a representative figure among civilian students, and has been embraced by almost all civilian students. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jie Dan was ready to deal with the aristocratic students' counterattack, but for a few days, there was no movement on the aristocratic side. Some of the commoner students excitedly thought that this was a sign of admittance on the part of the aristocracy, and they wanted to celebrate it with great gusto. But the far-sighted civilian students knew well that it was just the calm before the storm.

The aristocracy had monopolized the school for many years, and even the occasional commoner student would be quickly assimilated by these people, and even become one of them after graduation. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many civilian students enrolled this time, they probably wouldn't have been able to escape this fate.

The aristocracy wanted to enjoy privileges, while the commoners considered themselves to be members of the high status and naturally wanted to pursue more rights. Against this backdrop, conflict is doomed to be inevitable. On the surface, the campus is calm, everyone should go to class, eat and eat, but an undercurrent is already surging silently in the dark, and I don't know when it will break through the ground and set off monstrous waves.

But none of this has anything to do with Wright, and after the initial novelty, Wright's learning of magic has also entered a period of slackness.

Recently, Ayres noticed that something was wrong with Wright's state, and he was always in a trance. Ayers thought it was Wright's mental malaise caused by practicing magic all night, and he didn't pay much attention to it.

Only Wright himself knows best, and he has had a pitiful amount of time for magic cultivation lately. After experiencing the rapid advance of strength at the beginning, Wright is now stuck in the bottleneck and unable to break through, which makes Wright a little discouraged. Once deflated, Wright put a lot less time and energy into his magic cultivation. The real reason for Wright's lack of energy is actually a recent dream Wright had.

Wright had a lot of dreams, but those dreams made Wright feel far away from him and had nothing to do with him. But a recent dream is different, the scene is too similar to my real situation.

In the dream, when the night was deep and everyone was asleep, Wright got up from his bed. Walk out of your dormitory, out of the dormitory, through the empty campus, and finally into a wooded area behind the school.

The woods are there, and they're famous in the school. There are many versions of the story circulating in the school, some of which are horror ghost stories, some of which are sad love stories, and so on. But one thing is clear to everyone is that the school rules allow everyone to come and go in and out of the woods during the day, but at night, no one is allowed to enter.

In the dream, when Wright walked into the woods, he always heard a female voice calling his name, but every now and then, Wright would wake up from the dream in a sweat. Wright looked up a lot of materials in the library, but couldn't find anything related to the woods. Even during the day, Wright went into the woods, but found nothing.

Wright, who had been haunted by this dream for a long time, finally made up his mind to go to the woods at night in violation of the school rules. There was no need for preparation, and Wright set off quietly that night. It's just that Wright didn't know that his so-called "quiet" actions were all watched by Ayers.

Wright didn't know, but Ayers had heard the name of the woods. Thinking about Barrick, the headmaster of Hogwarts, the peak strength of the former eighth-level wizard, such a figure did not change the school rules and continued to prohibit students from entering, you know that the forest is by no means as simple as it seems.

Ayres wanted to stop Wright, but Barrick knew about it too, and he stopped Ayles.

"Why? You know very well that it's so dangerous that even we don't dare to go deeper, not to mention that he's only a fourth-level magician. Ailes was a little angry, although he didn't say it, but Ailes really cared about Wright in his heart.

"Danger!" Barrick chuckled lightly, "What powerful magician didn't come out of danger? You, me, and those people, who was promoted in the greenhouse? If you don't make a jade weapon, if you don't let him exercise in danger, what can he achieve in the future?"

"But he's the son of prophecy, what if something really happens?"

Barrick muttered for a long time, "Yes, this point still needs to be noted. In this way, you follow him quietly, but only when his life may be in danger, remember!"

Ayres followed Wright, but Wright didn't know that all of his attention was on the woods.

The night is thick, and under the bright moonlight, the whole campus is as bright as day. The road is clearly visible. Entering the woods was a different scene entirely, perhaps because the trees were so dense that there was no light to be seen in the woods, and it was so dark that it seemed to swallow everything. In that silent darkness, it seemed as if something was going to rush out at any moment.

"Dancing Light Technique!"

The first-level magic dance of the light system, the only magic in the five systems that does not have any lethality. The effect is to summon a cloud of light that surrounds the body, illuminating a radius of about five meters. The cast time is extremely short, the duration is almost infinite, and it can persist as long as the mana is sufficient.

With a ball of light, Wright cautiously continued to move forward, "Wright, Wright, Wright!" A soft female voice sounded in Wright's ears again. After listening carefully for a while, the sound faded and Wright walked in the direction he felt the sound was coming from.

Wright, who was walking slowly step by step, suddenly felt something under his feet, and then fell asleep directly to a dog gnawing mud.

Wright, who got up, looked back, and in the dim light, Wright was surprised to find that he had come across what appeared to be a corpse. Frightened, Wright sat on the ground and stepped back for a long distance until he couldn't see the body at all.

"Whew, I'm scared to death!" Wright said as he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, touched his chest, and was shocked.

After a moment's composure, Wright plucked up the courage to approach the corpse again. The corpse must have been there for a while, and the flesh was almost completely decomposed, but the clothes were not yet rotten.

Wright guessed that it was supposed to be a student at the school, as no one else usually came in the place. Finding that it was just a skeleton that couldn't move, Wright was a lot bolder, after all, a skeleton of bones didn't look very scary.

"Wright, Wright!" the familiar voice sounded again, and Wright put aside the matter of bones for a moment and continued to move towards the source of the sound.

Just after walking a short distance, Wright suddenly stopped, "No, there are many people who have come into the woods during the day, how can they not find a corpse here?" Thinking of this, Wright suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and always felt that something was following him.

In order to make sure that he was not blinded by a mistake, Wright turned back to the place where he had found the bone rack, only to find that there was nothing but dirt in the place.

"Sure enough, I was wrong!" Wright thought to himself, but a shadow had already hung over him.

Wright, who was back on the road with a "crunch", always heard this sound behind him, and when he stopped, the sound disappeared, and he started to walk around, and the sound came again.

"Who?" Wright turned, but didn't see anything.

After walking for a while, Wright repeated his old trick and suddenly turned around again. Only this time was different from the last time, Wright also released a light bullet spell into the darkness when he turned around.

Light Bullet Technique, Light Level 2 Magic, Attack Magic. Condense the Light Elemental into a sphere and fly towards enemies at breakneck speed, dealing damage. The cast time is short, the effective attack range is 100 meters, and the damage effect is low.

With the faint glow of the light as it flew by, Wright finally saw what was following him, a rack of bones in clothes.

"Ahh Wright turned and ran, forgetting that this place was a forest of all sizes, and that there was no shortage of roots and dead branches crisscrossing it. So Wright tragically tripped again, and this time the bone frame was not hidden, and "crunched" towards Wright.

"Don't come, don't come. Wright panicked, not knowing what to do.

Just as the skeleton of bones was getting closer and closer, Wright finally remembered that he was still a magician and could use magic.

"Light Bullet!" "Light Bullet!" "Light Bullet!" "Light Bullet!" "Light Bullet!"

Wright threw out five light bullets in one go, and five light bullets flew out in a straight line. But Wright didn't take aim, and tragedy happened, as none of the five bullets hit the skeleton. The two light projectiles flew far away and then dissipated on their own, and the remaining three Wright were thrown completely into the sky, and dissipated when they reached the treetops.

Ayres, who was following Wright in the shadows, couldn't stand it anymore, and he was really afraid that if he continued to watch, he would become the first magician in history to die laughing.

At the critical moment, a force from nowhere calmed Wright's nervous spirit, and Wright finally calmed down, "Light Shield Technique!"

Light shield technique, light level 3 magic, protection magic. Connect the light elements together to cover your entire body and block incoming damage. The cast time is short, the defense is low, and it will only disappear if the damage taken is too high or the mana is insufficient.

"Light Bullet!"

This time, the light bullet hit the bone frame accurately, and then, the bone frame fell straight down. Wright was not very relieved, and made up a few more in a row before he stopped to stare at the unformed skeleton that had been destroyed by himself.

Just as Wright had hoped, the skeleton never stood up again, and Wright let out a long sigh of relief. At this time, Wright recalled his previous humiliating performance, and couldn't help blushing, "Fortunately, there is no one else!"
