More than ten days passed. The ship finally docked again. Yuri and Willett disembarked with several other apprentices and left with the men waiting on the shore.

Only Anglie and two other apprentices from other countries who were completely unknown to him were left on board. And then there's the black-robed adult.

The four men continued their voyage for two days and reached their final destination, Alkenhain. It means the place where the sun rises.

"This is the final destination. Let's get off the boat. The black-robed man pressed a switch on the side of the ship, and the heavy and wide boarding board suddenly fell down with a bang and landed on the sea bridge below.

"There are two wizarding organizations here: the Ram Academy, and the Lilia Hut. Follow the signs yourself. It's close to the wizards' residences, so there's nothing out of the ordinary. ”

After getting off the boat, the black-robed man explained a few words, and then left the three of them on the shore. I got on the boat myself and quickly left.

The entire coast is deserted, and the morning sun shines on the beach, reflecting a large expanse of golden sand.

Angel glanced at the other two, but did not say anything. Turn around and head inland. He noticed that there was a trail on the ground that had been milled out by frequent walking, and in the coconut grove not far away, a street sign could be faintly seen. A man in a gray-and-white robe was standing quietly waiting for them.

Half an hour later

Led by a gray-robed man, the three of them stood in front of the ruins of a huge ancient city.

The surface of the ruined walls of the ancient city gives a disgusting feeling of the inner walls of the sewer pipes, gray-black, crawling with turquoise plant vines. Some large, thick black roots were wrapped around the pavement. From time to time, there were hoarse screams from the sky.

"This is where Ram answered the college. You've arrived, you two, keep coming with me. The man who led the way said lightly.

Anglie stood still, watching the three of them walk away quickly. The position where he stood was on the deck of a stone bridge outside the ancient city. The feet were full of fine gray pebbles and fresh green moss.

Anglie walked some distance forward, pulling the demonic ring hanging from his chest. Remove carefully. It is placed on a stone brick platform to the left of the city gate.

With a fluttering sound, a black crow flew down and stood on the platform. Scarlet eyes stared at the ring, and gently flicked with their claws.

"Young people, young people who are new to the city. New blood. The raven spoke. The voice exudes a sense of vicissitudes. It's very sharp, like holding your throat to speak. "I'm the Warden Morrog, since you have the demonized item, then according to the rules, you can go in. It's been a few years since a newcomer has come from there. It turned to look at Anglie and spoke, speaking in Angmar.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Morrog, the Warden. Anglie saluted the crow before carefully retrieving the ring and putting it back on his neck. "I went in. ”

As he walked through the gates, he heard the sound of crows flapping their wings and flying.

The whole ancient city is like a model of a sand pile made of earthy yellow mud and sand, and there are traces of weathering everywhere on the walls and buildings, and small holes as fine as sand are everywhere. Angle felt like he had stepped into the ruins of an ancient Egyptian city. In addition to the yellow sand color, it is still the color of yellow sand.

A gust of wind blew, and a layer of yellow dust rolled up on the ground. A few dry fallen leaves drifted in the wind. It rolled a few times, snapping and sticking to Anglie's black boots.

"Are you a newcomer?" an unfamiliar male voice came from the distance to Angliel's left.

He followed the voice and looked over. A tall man in a gray robe stood in the corner of the wall, beckoning to him.

The man had broad shoulders, loose hair, and a fleshy face, and looked less like an apprentice or a wizard than a highland barbarian from a certain biography. "Lord Morrog has informed me. You hold a token of our academy, don't you?"

Angre walked over briskly and nodded. Tear the gemstone ring from his neck and hand it to him.

The man took it and looked at it carefully. "It's a pity, it's a ring that explodes quickly, and it seems to have special skills. It's damaged though. It looks like it can't be repaired. He shook his head with a look of regret. Return the ring to Angele.

"Come with me, I'll take you into the academy. There are quite a lot of students enrolled this year, counting you and there are already more than 20, but you are really the only one who came from across the sea by boat. ”

"Really, but isn't this an academy?" Anglie looked left and right. Except for the gray-robed man, there was no one else.

"How could our academy be built in such ruins. Even if it declines, it won't come to this point. My name is Eloda, you can call me Elo, and I'm in charge of picking up new students in our department. ”

"My name is Angle, Brother Iroh, right? you can call me by my full name. Angliel replied politely.

"No, I'm just an apprentice like you, and don't call me big brother. I just turned 14 this year. Iroh glanced at Angel disapprehantly.

Fourteen years old

Anglie was speechless as he looked at Iroh's appearance again.

With a height of more than two meters, his shoulders are wide and his body is broad, which is equivalent to the weight of two of him. A face of vicissitudes of life, with a fierce light in his eyes. Walk up one step at a time. It seems that he weighs about 300 pounds

"Okay, Iroh, it's okay for me to call it that, right?"

"Yes. Eloh suddenly became cold. It seems that he is very dissatisfied with Anglie calling him big brother.

The two of them turned seven or eight corners in the city, and finally walked into a small house. A raised underground passage stands in the middle of the small house. The gate is made of two black stone slabs with two yellow-green diamond-shaped gemstones. There is a fist size.

Iroh walked to the door and bowed his head in a strange gesture.

"Eloda Simba. He whispered.

With a creak, the stone door slowly opened inward. A staircase leading to the ground below is revealed. On both sides of the staircase, there are a pair of flaming torches at intervals, illuminating the entire passage unusually brightly.

Eloda strode in. Anglie followed.

Just a few steps inside, there was the sound of the stone door slowly closing behind him.

The passage is made of small gray stone bricks the size of a palm, and the walls look old. Some of the stone bricks are also missing some notches. The floor is also of this gray stone brick. It's very smooth to step on.

The two of them walked in the passage, and the torches on the wall reflected the entire passage in a beating yellow. Warm air currents continued to blow from below. There was a smell that Anglie couldn't tell. It's not unpleasant, but it's not nice either, a bit like a mixture of musty and osmanthus scents.

Walked a distance. Eloda spoke again. "You're lucky, according to the wheel, you just happened to be assigned to a mentor with me, so I came out to pick you up. From then on, we were students of a mentor. ”

"Is it the wheels?" said Angle, casually assigning new people.

"Yes, hand the list you got to the tutor in advance, and then rearrange the number in a shuffled order, and divide it into each tutor according to the wheel. This is relatively fair. Eloda explained. "We are now reporting directly to the tutor first, at the beginning, the tutor will allow you to choose a learning project, not those free basic subjects, but a paid project, remind you, it is best to think carefully, this is a rare opportunity, and if you want it in the future, you can only spend magic stones or complete tasks for record points. ”

"Thanks for the reminder. Although Anglie could hear it in a fog, he also heard that Eloda was reminding him kindly, and secretly remembered it in his heart.

Neither of them spoke anymore, and walked forward with a dull head. After passing through the stone brick passage, I turned left and walked a distance. Walk through two forks. Finally came to a dark hallway full of rooms. At the end of the hallway, there was the largest room, the door closed.

Eloda led Angliel to the end of the room and knocked lightly on the door.

"Mentor, I'm here again. I brought him here. ”

"Come in. A hazy voice came from within.

With a click, the door opened automatically.

Eloda pushed open the door and led Anglie into the room.

It was a study room similar to that of an ordinary nobleman. In the middle of the room, next to two large bookshelves, a large black-robed man with his back to the two of them, wearing a hood, and holding a thick dictionary-like book in his hand, was flipping through it.

"Is this the newcomer assigned to my side this time?" The voice of the black-robed man was unexpectedly pleasant, a somewhat immature girlish voice.

"Yes. ”

The candlestick on the table exploded with firelight.

"Take him to Fedoni, my time is up. ”

"Yes. ”

Anglie looked at Eloda in confusion and nodded, then turned and walked out the door. I also had to follow behind. Inadvertently, he looked back again.

The black-robed man had already turned around and slowly raised his head.

The smiling face of a shriveled old woman shines into Angele's sight. What's even more chilling is that her left eye doesn't have an eyeball, but is inlaid with a brass pocket watch. A scar was slashed diagonally in the middle of the face, with needles and threads sewn around the edges, like a corpse doll sewn together with needles and threads. Without needles and threads, they will fall apart into pieces of meat.

Angreqiang suppressed the fear in his heart. Turn your head.

Will you want to learn under this terrifying wizard in the future?

Even if he crossed over and killed so many people, Anglie couldn't help but feel a little drumming in his heart at this time. This kind of character is definitely one of the best images even in earth's horror movies.

"Scared, aren't you? Hehe, Mentor Liliana was only in a spell experiment, and her body was greatly traumatized, and she became what she is now. Eloda, who led the way, explained. "Actually, the mentor is very good. When I give a lecture to everyone, I am the most patient. Although there were very few apprentices willing to go to her side to attend classes. The gray-robed apprentice's tone was helpless.

"Really?" Angre grinned into a smile.

This kind of mentor, who looks like a corpse sewn together with a needle and thread, is called a ghost if an apprentice is willing to go to her side
