Section 13 Witchcraft

"Who would come to a place like this?"

Lance decisively turned on Hawkeye.

The blurred vision immediately became clear, and a man in the uniform of a student at the Crimson Castle quickly crossed the edge of the cemetery and walked all the way to the wilderness.

The man looked nervous, looking around as he walked. It's a pity that Lance is standing inside the cemetery, and the iron fence at the edge of the cemetery is equipped with magic arrays and rune prohibitions, and the line of sight is transmitted in one direction. In other words, Lance could clearly see the scene outside the cemetery, and the man would not have guessed that Lance was observing him.

The man's steps were fast, and a pale green glow wafted from his body, according to Lance's estimate, it should be a status spell such as [Swift Wind] that could increase movement speed.

Lance was a little weird. It stands to reason that in a desolate place like this, there is not a single figure to be seen at all.

"What does he want?" said a look of hesitation in Lance's eyes.

He just stood at the edge of the cemetery and watched the man keep moving forward. Eventually, the man stood at the entrance to the mysterious canyon.

"What the hell is in that canyon......

Lance's heartbeat began to accelerate, and because the distance between the two sides was too far, the vision enhanced by Hawkeye 2.0 gradually became a little blurry.

The man stood in front of the canyon for more than ten minutes before he stomped his feet as if he had made up his mind and walked into the canyon.

Lance didn't take it lightly, he began to observe the situation distractedly as he practiced his spells.

However, to his surprise, nothing unusual happened after the man entered the canyon. Even the roar that often rings at midnight. It didn't reappear either.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Lance had become quite proficient in the three newly learned spells. The man's figure reappeared at the entrance to the canyon.

As he walked back, to the edge of the cemetery. Lance noticed that his face was much uglier than before. What's even more strange is that his eyes look very complicated, as if something is struggling inside.

"Huh? his magic level...... Wait! He's maxed up a bit!"

Lance observed the other party quietly, and the doubts in his heart became thicker and thicker.

When he first saw this man, it was clear that he was not a junior apprentice, but now, after Lance's mental power induction, he found that his magic power had exceeded 75 points!

In just one afternoon, the opponent's magic level has actually increased by leaps and bounds!

This time. Lance was finally a little moved. His eyes were fixed on the entrance to the canyon, and he suddenly wanted to go over and see what was inside.

But reason told him that such a risky behavior was not advisable.

Although the man's magic level had greatly improved, there was no joy on his face, which could explain a lot.

Watching the apprentice of the Crimson Castle disappear to the edge of the graveyard, Lance gathered his thoughts and returned to the cabin.

The next day, he continued to practice spells at the edge of the cemetery. Today, though, he deliberately reduced the amount of mana he consumed. Once his mana was reduced to 40 points, he began to practice the Spirit Fox Sword Technique. Although the improvement of physical fitness from practicing swordsmanship is no longer so obvious, Lance believes that it accumulates over time. It can still play a certain role and effect.

He practiced quietly, while waiting for something.

It wasn't until the evening that the man he was waiting for finally appeared.

When the man appeared at the edge of the cemetery yesterday. Lance was surprised to find that his magic level had actually dropped back to his original level. That is, a primary apprentice.

To Lance's surprise, this time. He also had two other apprentices with him. The two, a man and a woman, seem to be a young couple.

Lance suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

He approached the edge of the cemetery, crossed the iron fence, hid behind a tree, and secretly observed the group of three.

The three men were talking, and there was silence in the wilderness, and the distance between them was so close that Lance could hear it clearly:

"Henry, is what you said true? Did you really find a magical fountain?" the girl's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.

Her boyfriend looked suspicious: "Henry, how long has it been since the Magic Spirit Fountain has been discovered in the wild of Ferendor? Are you sure you didn't lie to us?"

The man named Henry seemed a little impatient, and he shook his head and said, "You also saw my magic yesterday. You're my best friend, or I wouldn't have brought you to share! If you don't believe me, just go back. ”

The girl immediately pulled her boyfriend and said with a grin, "Okay, okay." Isn't it a magic spirit spring, and we'll find out if we go over and see it later? What's the point of arguing now?"

The three of them fell silent and quickly rushed towards the mysterious canyon.

Lance's figure gradually emerged from behind the tree, his face solemn.

"Magic Spirit Spring?, such a shoddy trick is also believed?" Lance didn't follow, he was going to leave the day after tomorrow, he didn't want to have more trouble.

However, he chose to stay on the edge of the cemetery and wait and see what happened.

He had a premonition in his heart that something big was about to happen.

The wait was more than three hours. Three hours later, Henry came out of the canyon again, but the young couple had disappeared without a trace.

His magic grew stronger, and Lance was startled as he passed by the edge of the graveyard.

That's 89 mana!

This kind of magic can be regarded as the best among advanced apprentices!

"How the hell did he do it?!What the hell is in the canyon~!?"

Lance watched in disbelief as Henry left the place, and his previous suspicion came true. That little couple, there should be no chance of survival.

"Could it be that this guy named Henry has practiced some kind of sorcery? But what about the screams that came from the canyon in the middle of the night? Could it be that he is experimenting?"

Lance's mind was full of doubts, and the only thing he knew for sure was that the source of his mana boost was very abnormal. And it shouldn't last long.

If Lance's guess is true, then this Henry has come this far. He probably won't let go, and he'll continue in a similar way. Other words. It is likely that more and more people will die at Henry's hands.

"Let's see tomorrow. If you can, you have to find some evidence. Lance silently made up his mind.

This kind of thing, since he found out, it is impossible for him to completely sit idly by.

On the third day, the day before the Red Robe Brotherhood's covert operation, Lance waited early at the edge of the cemetery.

Sure enough, in the evening, Henry reappeared. This time, he also had two people with him. And it's all girls.

It's just that when Lance saw the girl appear, his face suddenly changed slightly.

"Lorel?!"

As Lorel and another blonde girl followed Henry's footsteps, Lance keenly sensed that something was wrong.

There was no gleam on the faces of the two girls, and there was a blank look in their eyes. They were also very stiff in their movements, and when they walked after Henry, they looked like two zombies.

"Damn it, what kind of means did he use? Why did he have to bring these people to the canyon? Did he build an altar of sorcery inside?" But if Henry's target was Lorel, Lance couldn't sit idly by.

The relationship between the two. Not bad. In the entire Crimson Castle, Lorel was the only person Lance could call a friend.

He took a deep breath and took off his clothes, placing them in the Arcane Ring. Then the chameleon was activated. Slowly followed.

The wilderness is an endless plain with no obstacles, which makes it difficult for Lance to stealth and camouflage.

Fortunately, Henry looked a little absent-minded today. He didn't even care about the situation around him. Coupled with the sluggishness of the two girls, Lance was able to follow behind him all the time.

Otherwise, once the movement speed is increased. Even if there is a chameleon that automatically disguises, the probability of Lance being spotted will be greatly increased.

The group kept moving forward. It took a long time to reach the other end of the wasteland.

Huge mountains lay in front of themβ€”it was only then that Lance suddenly realized how majestic they were, and they couldn't be seen from a distance.

The only thing that made Lance feel uncomfortable was that the canyon that suddenly appeared from a third of the mountain range was out of place with the whole majestic mountain range, very stiff, as if it had been split by life.

In front of the canyon, a scarlet horizontal line crossed it, and Henry stood in front of the red line, not walking directly into it.

Lance leaned forward slightly, and along the way, he thought about how many times he had tried to save the two girls from Henry. It's just that the two of them seem to have fallen into an extremely remote first-level spell [Soul Loss Curse], and they have been temporarily deprived of their souls.

This vicious spell is said to come from the demons of the abyss, and only the one who casts the curse can unravel it, and once the person who casts the curse dies, then Lorel and the other blonde girl will probably not be spared.

That's why Lance didn't dare to act rashly.

"If it was an evil spell, then he must have been very weak during the period when the ritual was held. Lance froze: "I can do something about this time." ”

In fact, if Lance wanted to kill Henry, he was at least ninety percent sure. After all, now that he is now among the best in attack ability, he is already among the best among high-level apprentices. This is also the reason why Ellie Jie will ask him for help.

Henry's magic power increased by using sorcery in this way, Lance was not afraid of him at all. The only thing to be wary of is the opponent's spell or spell.

Thinking of this, Lance leaned forward slightly.

At this time, a strange laughter suddenly came from the canyon: "Not bad, very good." You're very talented, you only taught you the Lost Soul Charm yesterday, and you used it so quickly. ”

As soon as he heard this voice, Lance's whole person immediately fell into an ice cave!

"It turns out that the little couple yesterday probably didn't die in Henry's hands!"

"There's something else in the canyon!" (to be continued......)
