"This ...... He's been so abnormal lately, I ...... "Dara was embarrassed.

"Dara, he's not as simple as a mental disorder!" "Elven mage Ost suddenly said slowly, "I'm here to tell you that since the black-robed mage Aland attacked the Elven Academy, your teacher Gibri has been in a coma, and your younger brother Puno is most likely pregnant with a demon in his body. ”

"What demon?"

"Aland. As you'll remember, Aland planted a blood curse in Puno's body. ”

"Why did you come to tell me now?" Dara asked loudly as she looked at Oster, forgetting that it was very rude for him to speak to a well-known elven mage who was also the current head of the Elven Academy.

Previously, he had been busy dealing with all kinds of things that were constantly happening within the Human Empire, and although Miyali had told him a part of what was happening on the elves' side, Dara didn't know the whole story, and this was the first time he had heard the exact news about his teacher Gibri and his brother Puno, but neither news was obviously good news.

"I'm sorry, Darla," Olster said, "After Philorhill's death, there are a lot of things to attend to within the Elven Academy, and Gibri's situation is very precarious, so I can't leave. ”

Dara said: "Can you be sure that Puno's blood curse has indeed attacked?" In fact, he had already had such doubts and conjectures in his heart, and Puno's behavior had already confirmed his conjecture, but Dara still held on to the last glimmer of hope.

"I'm not sure about that, but you have to watch out for him. Because now it is very likely that there are two consciousnesses in Puno's body, one of his own and one of Aland's, and these two consciousnesses are constantly fighting and merging. I'm not sure whose will will eventually prevail. If it's the black-robed mage Alander......"

"No! I'm not going to let that happen!" said Darrah, "I'm not going to let him take my brother's body!Tell me, what do I do now?How can I stop him? I know you have a way, or you won't come." ”

Oster was amazed at Darla's sharp judgment, and a few years ago he simply had no such sensitivity.

"Yes, I've found a way," Olster said slowly, "but it's dangerous. ”

"Tell me!"

"Through a trial, you can determine whether Puno has been completely controlled by evil, and if not, then we can continue to talk deeply about how to expel Aland's will from Puno's body. ”

"Trials?

"Not only Puno, but you and your buddies must also participate!"

Dara was a little surprised, the term trial is usually aimed at magicians, warlocks, or druids and other people who use magic, as a way and shortcuts for them to improve themselves, and usually alone. He had never heard of a trial that required a team of partners of all races and professions to participate in, not to mention that Orst had previously emphasized the danger of this trial.

"This is my brother's business, I'll take him there. Dara said.

Oster shook his head and turned to the others, "This is a very dangerous trial, and it will take your joint efforts to pass. Are you willing to let Dara venture alone into the Black Cloak Jungle?"

"Black Cloak Forest?" the crowd asked in unison.

The name itself alone is already a dangerous existence. The various legends about the Black Cloak Forest are always full of dangers, weirdness, Mysterious, for the adventurers of the Tuya Continent, it is a place that cannot be easily set foot in, not only because the magic tower of the Magic Association is located in the black cloak dense forest, which is full of magic prohibitions of several major factions of mages, and not only because there are often strange and strange sounds and lights inside, but also because most of the adventurers who entered the dense forest without permission have never come out again, and the few adventurers who successfully came out of it have also become completely stuffy gourds, tight-lipped about their encounters in the forest.

"No!" Darla objected again, "It's my own business, so ......"

"Your business is our business!" said the dwarf Bodinah, who had woken up at some point, and said under the armpit of the two-headed giant Kruru, and at the same time he was surprised to find that his words had attracted everyone's attention, and everyone turned their heads to look at him in an instant, and Bodina could not help but ask strangely, "What are you looking at me for?

"Moradin's beard!" roared the dwarf Todak, "Boudina, you're so right! you've finally said a human word!" Then the old dwarf turned excitedly and said to Darla, "Your business is ours! I will not approve of you and Puno going! Dara trusts him so much! I don't watch the fireball from behind at all!

Jenny's reaction was to hold Darla's hand tightly and refuse to let go, and it was clear that she was going to go with her.

Samurai Mike shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything, saying, "First ask what the beauty means." ”

Vantania thought for a moment before saying, "I'm willing to go with you." ”

"Then I have to go too, beautiful women always need samurai companionship. Mike said unashamedly.

The dwarf Blotto said, "Go ahead!

"What? Blotto, you didn't go? Wouldn't you want to help Darla? Have you forgotten who helped you out of the shadow of defeat in the City of Morning Light?" Todak asked aloud.

Dara stepped forward, smacked the old dwarf Todak, and said, "Blotto stayed for me!"

"This ......," the old dwarf's eyes widened.

"We're all gone, who's going to take care of the soldiers here, what about the people here?" Dara asked.

It dawned on Todak that Blotto was indeed the best person to stay in the barracks. Todak reached out and stroked his beard, smiling at Blotto with some shame.

"So, you've all decided to take part in this trial?" asked the elven mage Olster.

"No, I'll talk about that later, now, tell me what kind of trial is needed?" Dara said calmly, if the trial was really too dangerous, he made up his mind in his heart that he would not let his companions follow him on the adventure at this time, after all, they still had more important tasks to complete, and he couldn't affect everyone because of his own personal affairs.

"First, you have to go into the Black Cloak Forest and find a black wing tower, and then you have to find a way to get into it, and then you have to find a way to get out of it. This trial is considered complete. Olster said. (To be continued.) )
