In the early morning of dusk, the eastern sky was white with only a faint golden rays of sunlight.

At the gate of the Supreme Academy of Magic, where the two bronze statues of the eagle head and lion were located, Green was saying with a flattering face: "Lord Azocre, don't worry, when we come back, we will definitely have a good chat with you." ”

"Don't deceive Lord Ah Zuo, otherwise Lord Ah Zuo will be very angry, and the consequences will be very serious. "The bronze and gold statue on the left.

"Definitely not, definitely not. Wiping the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, Green assured.

When he could no longer see the two statues of Azocre and Azomov, Green exhaled with relief, and at this time, a beautiful and lovely coffee-colored girl beside Grimm said disdainfully: "As for being so low-voiced, aren't you just beasts watching the gate at both ends, don't forget, we are the wisest, noblest, and most powerful mages in the world." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked at the girl with idiot eyes, and the girl may have been subjected to this strange feeling of being in the spotlight for the first time, and her heart suddenly became nervous, and said, "What's the matter, am I not right?"

"Don't you know the status of the two adults, Azuocre and Ayoumov, in the academy? Those are terrifying characters who even the ninth-order archmage has to respect three points when they see it, you actually dare to scold them for being brutes, if they are heard by the two adults, your fate" Green didn't finish speaking, but everyone present understood that the end didn't need to be said at all.

When the girl heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, her legs became weak, and she was very glad that she had said it after she had stayed away from those two terrifying creatures, and had not been heard by those two terrifying creatures.

Ivan ignored the obviously white-headed fool, his attention had been casually scanning the two strange gray-robed mage apprentices.

A tall and thin young man, his name is Sophie, his face is expressionless, his eyes are like poisonous snakes lurking in the dark, swallowing snake letters, ready to strike a fatal blow at any time, extremely cold, holding a metal crossbow in his hand, the bow body reflects an inconspicuous layer of magic array symbols under the light, it should be a crossbow-type remote magic tool.

Another gray-robed mage apprentice, named Andrew, is a high-level mage apprentice, because he wants to buy a spell model and is ready to be promoted to a first-order official mage, but he can't get together the magic stone temporarily, and wants to find a team to complete the task.

Originally, Andrew thought that he would receive some dangerous mission, but he didn't expect that he was so lucky, it was actually a mission in the Swamp of Death, and he was really glad that he chose Green's team this time.

The Swamp of Death, don't look at the name is a little scary, in fact, this place, even ordinary people can come and go freely, there is no danger at all, let alone a mage apprentice.

"Okay, ahead is the griffin house of the academy, if we sit on the griffin, we will soon reach the ground, and then take the carriage, and after half a month's journey, we can reach the swamp of death. ”

In the direction that Green pointed, it was a very large building, made of bluestone, the building was closed, like a cylinder, only the top one, and the other surrounding walls had no entrance, all of them were bluestone walls without doors and windows.

And under the cylindrical building, there stood a thatched house, and an old man in sackcloth, whose hair had almost completely fallen out and his face was full of wrinkles, sat in front of the thatched house with his eyes closed.

"Dear Lord, we would like to rent six adult griffons to reach the surface. Green bowed his hands and bent down in front of the old man in sackcloth, very polite.

"Five magic stones, no bargaining. The old man in Mai opened his old mouth with a few remaining teeth and said coldly.

"No problem. Green took out five black and shiny magic stones from his cloth pocket and handed them to the old man in Mai.

The old man in Mai opened his eyes, touched the magic stone handed to him with both hands, and after finding that the number was not faked, his face hooked a trace of pleasure, and said: "You are a solid-eyed child, and you have not deceived me, a blind old man." ”

At this time, everyone found that the eyes of the old man in Mai were only pure white, and there were no pupils that ordinary people have, which looked very scary.

"As a companion to this boy, you ought to be thankful to this solid-eyed boy for not deceiving me, poor blind old man, or else what would have happened to you? The old man in Mai said with emotion.

When everyone heard this, they turned around and looked at the side, and their hearts instantly chilled, only to see that next to the thatched hut, there was a big black-barked tree with no leaves standing in the wind, and dozens of corpses hung on the branches of the big tree, most of these corpses were gray-robed corpses, which were mixed with several white-robed corpses.

Some of these corpses hanging on the trees have turned into a skeleton, which has existed for decades, some of the body skin is still a layer of dry skin, and the appearance of the person is completely unrecognizable, some of the body still has skin and flesh, the skin and flesh are rotten, and there is a strong smell, and some seem to be not long ago, the blood of the body has long been drained, and in his internal organs, after the scorching sun, the yellow corpse water is sunburned, and the rotten flesh falls down sparsely, and the white maggot internal organs are densely packed inside, which makes people look at it, and can't help but feel sick and sick to their stomachs。

"Do you know why the mortality rate in the mission hospital remains high all year round? This is due to the difficulty of the mission and all kinds of accidents, but the more important reason is because they are not sincere. I naively thought that the old man was blind, so he could make some small moves under my nose and deceive me, a poor blind old man, and in the end, it became like this. Hehe, if it weren't for the fact that the little griffin didn't get used to eating human flesh a few years ago, the scene in the trees would have been even more spectacular. The deep laughter of the old man in Mai, like the laughter of a demon, sent chills down the bones of the Greens.

"I'm not telling you, old man, I'm tired, come out, my little darlings. As soon as the voice of the old man in sackcloth fell, a whistle sounded in the columned building.

Then, suddenly, a burst of Weng Ming's air flow vibration came, and under the shocked gaze of everyone, six black shadows flew out from above the cylindrical building, making a sound like an eagle's chirping, spreading their wide wings, breaking through the air, and flying happily in mid-air.

These griffons are all griffons with eagle heads, lifelike black feathers, a rein around their necks, and a leather seat on their backs.

"Is this the griffin that the Empire calls the King of the Skies? Green sighed.
