In fact, the Dark Territory was not under the control of the Lunar Empire, but only an army of about 20,000 men was stationed on the periphery, barely maintaining a stable position within the borders.

It is a vast area covered in black forests, at least 8,000 square kilometers according to incomplete statistics, and is shrouded in fog all year round, with ferocious beasts and magical creatures, and even many evil colored dragons nesting in it.

But none of this can stop humans from entering it, because under the dense Black Forest in the dark regions, there are countless caves hidden there, which in the eyes of many people are full of wealth.

These caves are intertwined, and under the entire dark area, they form a huge underground world, and many underground creatures live.

In a sense, hundreds of years ago, it was a paradise.

Skilled in digging and mining, but very stubborn and old-fashioned dwarves, eager to invent and invent, but somewhat neurotic, dwarfs have built huge cities underground, and trade with humans from time to time.

Sophisticated dwarven weapons and equipment, sophisticated dwarf alchemy instruments, are the most needed things in human society, so much so that humans have also established large and small cities in the dark regions to facilitate trade with dwarves and gnomes.

At that time, the Dark Region also gave rise to a relatively formal name, the Rami Region.

But at some point, an incomparably evil and cunning race appeared in the Dark Regions. That is the close relative of the Moon Elves, the dark elves who believe in the spider goddess Ross.

As soon as this race that admired the power of the matriarchal family entered the dark region, it immediately enslaved a large number of evil races such as goblins and mind snatchers, and launched a fierce attack on other races around it, not only destroying several human cities, but also forcing the dwarves and gnomes who had survived underground for countless years to shrink on a large scale and retreat to the heavily defended underground fortress. Only then did it barely maintain the situation and not be completely wiped out.

In the hundreds of years since the rise of the Dark Elves, humans have organized several counterattacks, but all of them have failed without exception.

Because whether it is in the dark forest or in the underground world, humans are no match for the dark elves who have dark vision and have been trained in combat since childhood. As a result, the dark region has completely fallen, and humanity has to completely organize a defense line on the periphery. Defend against the invasion of the Dark Elves.

Fortunately, the dark elves are very afraid of sunlight and will not leave the dark forest, so that they do not pose any threat to human society, but they are almost cut off from the dwarves and gnomes.

Only the most daring and crazy adventurers dare to enter it, occasionally bringing out some goods, but the success rate is very low. The dark elves are all elves, for them. Capturing humans as slaves is second only to capturing moon elves.

Today, there are not many human towns around the Dark Regions, and they can almost be called backcountry. This also leads directly to the Ravington School of Magic, which is only a few hundred kilometers away from the Dark Forest. It has completely become a "ghost place" where no one has come.

As a very promising young assistant professor, this time Gregort was appointed as the special admissions liaison, and if things are done well, he can recruit several outstanding students. It is likely that after returning to the college, he will be directly promoted to associate professor.

Gregort certainly didn't want to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, because once he became an associate professor. You can get the qualification to submit the topic, and get a lot of resources to tilt, which is very beneficial for your own research.

A while ago, Gregott learned that the kid named Leo Minecil had signed up for Raven and was almost excited and didn't sleep for days.

He knew very well that His Excellency the Dean seemed to have no quarrel with the world, and he usually looked like he couldn't wake up, but he was actually very competitive in his heart, and he was already quite dissatisfied with the fact that Ravington had been suppressed by several other colleges all year round.

If he can bring Leo Minahir back to the academy by the way, the dean will be happy and maybe he will be promoted to full professor directly!

In the box, fantasizing that the door of the academy warehouse was open to him, Gregort smiled, but quickly reacted and let out a long sigh: "Damn, you can't really not come, right?

In case Lolinda goes back and really reports to the dean truthfully, let alone any associate professor, she will be demoted to a higher level and changed from an assistant professor to an ordinary lecturer.

"What should I do? What should I do?" said Gregort, clutching at his few hairs, full of distress.

At this moment, the window of the box suddenly opened, and a pitch-black owl flew in.

At the sight of the owl, Gregott's heart jumped suddenly, and he almost trembled and asked, "Soap! Why are you back?"

The owl fluttered its wings a few times and landed on the seat in front of Gregort, and seemed very dissatisfied with the name "soap", and rolled its big round eyes vigorously before replying, "The man has appeared outside the town." ”

"What did you say?" said Gregor Horan, who stood up, grabbed the owl's wings, and roared at maximum volume, "Hurry up, say it again!"

"You're hurting me!" the owl flailed its wings vigorously, and its sharp beak pecked at Gregor's hand.

"Oops......" Gregot screamed, and he had to let go of the owl and let it jump away.

For his short-tempered and eccentric magic "pet", and did not sign a full contract, Gregort really hated it, if the other party was not an extremely rare magical creature - the black jade owl, after magic transformation, can have intelligence that does not belong to humans, and can also provide some help for his own spell casting, he would have roasted it with a ball of fire and eaten it.

There was no way, Gregort had to suppress his anxiety, and said in a harmonious voice: "Sorry soap, I was too reckless, now please sue me, who has appeared?"

Soaptoe arched his neck proudly, with a "be careful, I'll forgive you this time" expression, and then replied, "Who else could it be, the one you asked me to stare at." ”

Hearing Soap say this, Gregort's hanging heart relaxed a lot, but he still said a little nervously: "Quickly pass on his appearance to me." ”

This time, Soap didn't torture Gregor anymore, but closed his eyes and passed the picture he had just seen to the other party.

In the picture, a teenager is riding on a reindeer and running towards the town.

The strangely shaped mage robes, black hair and brown eyes, even if Gregot had never seen each other, these characteristics together still made him believe that this was the person he had been waiting for, the hateful Leo Minehir!

"Hey, hey, it's him, scared me to death. Gregort showed a relaxed expression, quickly clenched his fists again, and whispered to himself: "You kid has tormented me for so long, now it's my turn!" (To be continued......)
