Chapter Forty-Eight: The Dark Fortress

Knowing that he was about to reach his destination, Leo was willing to delay any longer, and even his fatigue weakened a lot.

With what little strength they had left, he and Karulugada remained vigilant and climbed the hill in front of them, which was not too high, but not too low either.

Soon, the scene ahead was revealed, and it turned out to be a vast green forest, and from a height of several hundred meters, it was impossible to see the end at a glance.

"The forest...... It won't be ......" Leo's face was full of surprise.

Karulugarda replied, "Yes, you have also come and brought it." ”

Leo nodded silently, confirming more and more the strength that Ravinton had here.

This forest alone would not have been possible without hundreds of years of management. What's more, it is still in a place where the environment is completely unsuitable, which shows how much effort the academy has put in.

Kalulugada was also looking at the forest, and said in a somewhat complicated tone: "The fortress of Khost is in the forest, but according to the agreement between the Supreme Mother and you humans, I can't enter it. By this point, I have already fulfilled the requirements of the Mother Queen. ”

"Yes, you're done, you can go home. Leo didn't care what the Supreme Mother was, he shifted his gaze to the other party, and said sincerely: "Thank you, Kalulugada, without your help, I'm afraid I will never find this place." ”

"Goodbye, human. Karulugada swung his feet twice and squirted softening night on the ground. When it was about to start burrowing, it hesitated for a moment and added, "The fate is long, and the life is endless." ”

Hearing this spider demon's noblest wish, Leo smiled and responded, "That's right, the fate is long, and life is endless. ”

Seeing Karulugada's body disappear into the hole, Leo locked onto the middle of the forest and stepped forward. Walking towards the forest, he knew that although he couldn't see it, the fortress of Khost was definitely there.

A moment later, Leo's feet were on the relatively soft soil, and he was already in the forest, and after walking for more than ten minutes, a fortress made of black rocks appeared in front of him.

It's a fortress, but it's actually more like a fortress, and it has a definite classical style. It shows that it has been around for a long time.

However, unlike ordinary aristocratic military fortresses, the fortress of Khostt is a ten-meter-high wall, and is not defended by guards.

Leo smiled, he knew very well that there were too many ways for mages to monitor their surroundings, and using the guard method was obviously too low-level.

Then, Leo suddenly discovers a problem that is quite a headache for him. There is no entrance to this fortress......

"This ...... Sure enough, it's the mage's building...... It's really extraordinary......" Leo looked at the fortress in front of him and scratched his head, "But do you want me to fly in?

Fortunately. The confusion didn't last long, and after a slight fluctuation of magic, a man in a yellow magic robe had appeared ten meters beside him.

Leo hadn't seen this man, but he could tell from the badge on the other's chest and the mark on the magic robe. This is a level 6 academy mage.

He looked to be in his forties, in the prime of life, with some short gray hair. He has dark skin, dark green eyes, and a warm smile on his face.

"Tsk, finally, finally another one, not bad. He nodded to Leo, "What number are you?"

"Hello, sir. Leo hurriedly made a mage salute and replied, "I'm Six." ”

"Six?" The middle-aged mage was a little surprised, but quickly diverted his attention from this, frowned and shook his head, "No, it's not sir!

As he spoke, he deliberately straightened his chest to make the badge representing the junior magic bachelor stand out.

"Uh......" Leo froze. Is there anything special that a junior magician needs to pay attention to? He himself has long been an intermediate magician.

However, he quickly reacted that the mages who could be sent here must have stronger combat ability than academic ability, so they must pay more attention to academic matters.

With such an analysis, Leo hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, Professor. ”

Hearing the word professor, the middle-aged mage showed a satisfied expression: "Well, that's right, I'm Professor Deliman, your introducer. Now that you've completed the fourth step of the mission, take a look at your mission card and get ready to start the next round of missions. ”

Hearing him say this, Leo hurriedly took out the task card and checked it.

"The fourth step of the main quest is completed, and the Fortress of Horst stage quest is opened. The first step is to complete the instructions of the introducer. ”

After reading the contents of the mission card, Leo looked at Deriman and asked, "Professor, what are the instructions you gave me?"

Delhiman smiled, pointed to the fortress not far away, and said, "It's very simple, you go inside by yourself, and I will wait for you inside." Rest assured, we have reduced the fort's defense level to a minimum. But don't be too pushy, or I'll give you points, Six. ”

He deliberately pointed out Leo's number, the meaning is obvious, that is, he has firmly remembered this number, and hopes that Leo will not think about fooling around.

After finishing speaking, Derriman didn't wait for Leo to respond, muttered something in his mouth, and then the figure disappeared in place in an instant.

"This is too irresponsible...... Leo sneered, and there was no other way but to carefully look at the black fortress in front of him.

Even without probing, he could guess that this fortress must be protected by an extremely large and powerful magic array, and at this level, it would be difficult for even a legendary mage to break into it.

"It seems that there must be some weakness, this project is to test whether my perception is acute?" Leo guessed as he approached the fortress.

As for teleporting directly into the other party, he will definitely not try it at the moment. This kind of powerful magic array has the function of identification, and if the teleportation is not successful, the spatial passage is destroyed, and he will be exiled into the endless void.

The distance quickly shortened, and in a blink of an eye he was within five meters of the fortress.

Suddenly, a strong wave came, and Leo's heart beat violently, and he dodged sideways without thinking.

The next moment, a flaming arrow came and flew through his magic robes.

"Boom!"

The arrow pierced the ground, causing a violent fire, and Leo had no doubt that if he was hit, the nameplate would be destroyed automatically and he would be completely disqualified.

And before Leo could wake up to his senses, an even more dangerous feeling had hit! )
