A large stretch of mountains, with very lush vegetation, is blown by a gentle breeze, and the trees on the mountains rise and fall like the tides.

Wild animals frolic in the woods, and a few birds chirp from time to time, making the environment seem peaceful and peaceful, and this is the Maga Luotev Mountains, which are known for their safety and tranquility.

The mountains are surrounded by a wide lane, zigzag and spread into the distance, and from a distance it looks like a long gray-white snake connecting the sky.

Rows of golden wheat are planted on both sides of the driveway, a black two-horse carriage walks slowly on the driveway, and there is a windmill mill on the hillside not far away, and the air is filled with the comfortable and vibrant rhythm of life unique to the countryside.

Sitting in the carriage, Ivan admired the view outside the carriage, with Andrew and Sophie sitting next to him and across from him.

"Because of its remote location, excellent living environment, and the rarity of magical beasts, the Magalotev Mountains have always been very popular with the upper class nobles, and many wealthy nobles will build estates here and enjoy a pleasant harvest festival every year. Sophie, who was sitting opposite, slowly introduced.

"It's a very nice place indeed, and if I'm old in the future, I'm going to build a manor here to retire. Andrew agreed.

"The manor we are going to is very rugged, the carriage can't pass, we need to walk to the front, can you hold it?"

"Don't underestimate people, Sophie, this time in order to deal with the master of the curse mage, I was well prepared and smashed all my belongings into it. As he spoke, An Deru patted the cloth bag he was carrying, and there was a sound of glass colliding, which should contain a lot of potion test tubes with different effects.

Ivan didn't say a word, but half-pulled out the long sword on his waist, and the faint silver fighting spirit flashed away, but it shocked Sophie and Andrew's hearts, originally they didn't have a good idea to find Ivan, but used him as cannon fodder to find a way.

After all, judging from their memories in the swamp of death, Ivan is a rookie student who relies on women to protect him, but they can't imagine that Ivan is still a master of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and it seems that the previous cannon fodder plan will not work.

Sensing the stupid looks on the two of them, Ivan shook his head secretly, how could he be so lucky to be met by him for such a good thing as exploring the manor this time, it was obvious that there was a ghost.

Obviously, in the swamp of death, Andrew's attitude towards him was so disdainful, how could it be that after arriving at the academy, he changed so much in an instant, didn't he just want to use him as a stepping stone.

The carriage was instantly quiet, and the awkward atmosphere was finally broken by the groom outside the carriage, "A few adults, you can only send them here, there is an uphill road ahead, and you need a few adults to move forward on foot." ”

Hearing this, the three of them glanced at each other, got out of the carriage one after another, and stood beside the carriage, looking at the hillside in the distance.

Rolling dark green woods, on the slopes of the hills a little higher, an old gray-and-white building is clearly visible.

"That's where we're going this time, let's go. Sophie didn't talk nonsense, holding his beginner-level magic tool Exploding Star Bow in his hand, he raised his feet and walked, his flexible body was like walking on the ground on the hillside woods.

Andrew carefully rummaged through the cloth bag, took out two dark green grass seeds from it, threw them into the leather boots on his feet, and clearly saw that the bottom of Andrew's leather boots bulged out of a large bag, like an inflatable cushion.

Andrew took an easy step, and the whole person jumped up directly, stepped on the obstacle, and the step was almost seven or eight meters, and soon approached Sophie, who walked first.

It is actually the latest research of the Department of Plant Culture, it seems that Andrew has a wide range of contacts in the academy, and while thinking, Ivan on the side easily followed behind the two.

The three of them made their way along a narrow path down the hillside, and no one spoke, except for Andrew's breathing and the sound of trampling on the grass under his feet.

Slowly, Ivan noticed that Sophie, who was walking in the front, stopped, and Andrew, who was behind Lingering Fei, also stopped strangely when he passed by Sophie.

"What's wrong?" Ivan walked behind the two of them, and then saw Sophie move away with a cautious look and gesture ahead.

Without the cover of Sophie's body, Ivan finally saw the reason why Sophie and the two stopped, it was a dilapidated wooden board slogan, and the paint on it had almost fallen off after a long period of wind and rain.

But now on this wooden board, there is a word clearly written, a bloody dead word. The bloody handwriting was fresh, and there was a strange heat bubbling on it, and at the last stroke of the dead word, there was still a little blood flowing.

"It's human blood, and it seems to be the body of a person who has just been killed. Sophie judged.

"Who else is there but us in this barren mountain?" Andrew wondered.

Suddenly, the three of them turned their heads in unison and looked at the black two-horse carriage at the bottom of the hillside, although it was a little far away, but with the spiritual power of the mage, they could still see the groom lying in a pool of blood.

"Damn, who the hell can kill the groom right under our noses, and unknowingly cross us and write this dead word?" Sophie said angrily.

"Maybe when we get to the manor, we'll be able to catch that secret rat. Andrew's face was also very ugly.

"Yes, after catching that sneaky mouse, you must extract his soul and burn it alive on the ghostly fire. Sophie agreed.

After Sophie smashed the wooden board with a sword, the three of them set off again towards the manor, only this time the three of them slowed down.

As the seconds passed, the gray-white manor got closer and closer, and the vegetation on the ground began to gradually decrease, and finally there was no at all.

At this time, Ivan took a look at the sky and was surprised to find that the sky was blood-red, as if the originally blue sky had been splashed with a basin of blood water, which was very depressing.

Without telling Andrew and Sophie about the anomaly in the sky, Ivan withdrew his gaze, suppressed the feeling of hairiness in his heart, and calmly followed behind the two.

And as Ivan walked a little longer, when he looked up at the sky again, he found that the blood-red sky just now had returned to blue without knowing when, as if what he had just seen was an illusion.

"Come on, Ivan, there is a land ahead. Looking at Ivan, who looked up at the sky and was stunned, Andrew reminded.

"It's coming. Ivan came back to his senses and walked in the direction of the gray-white manor not far ahead.
