"If you want to reach the peak of a third-level apprentice, it will take a lot of time to rely on meditation," Raymond, who frowned and thought calmly, had some vague guesses about the improvement of his strength.

Staring at the vigorous meditation grass on the table, Raymond, who had been muttering for a long time, decided to try his luck.

Holding the pot of meditation grass given by the old man Edgar, Raymond who walked out of the door saw the little black cat squatting at the corner of the stairs again, just like last time, after seeing Raymond, it still raised its white paws and greeted Raymond.

The same scene happened again, and Raymond got used to it, he nodded at the little black cat, and walked slowly downstairs.

But five minutes later, Raymond, who was standing at the gate of the White Sè Castle, felt a chill in his back.

For just now as he was passing through the hall of the castle, the old woman, Susie, who was always sitting by the fireplace, glanced up at him, and then continued to doze off.

But the old woman Susie's actions woke up the old black cat in her arms, and the old black cat with her neck raised kept staring at Raymond with a deep and cold look, which made goosebumps rise all over his body.

This strange gaze did not disappear until Raymond walked through the hall and out of the castle, and this palpitating yīn cold gaze did not disappear.

Raymond, who was standing at the gate of the castle, finally breathed a sigh of relief after feeling the old black cat's gaze disappear.

There is no distinction between day and day in the underworld, but the glimmer of light emanating from the top of the head is still somewhat similar to the sun, so the pale red and foggy mist outside the castle is like this every day, and there is no change.

But before Raymond could descend the steps, he heard the sound of horses' hooves clattering and clattering from the side.

Crisp and loud, the sound was abrupt in the silence of the Wizarding Academy, and Raymond frowned at the sound of horses' hooves, as only one horse in the area could make such a noise.

He didn't turn to look at it, because Raymond remembered the last time Rebecca had told him about the skeleton pony when she had visited him.

Lord House, this skeleton horse likes to be called that.

It is said that it was once the mount of a powerful wizard, but after the death of its owner, it became the caretaker of the Academy, and although it was a bit mischievous, it did not cause too much harm to the students.

But what annoys about this skeleton horse is that it likes to tell its students to do little things for it.

It's a simple thing, maybe it's to get something for it, or to send a message to a wizard for it, or maybe even to pick a handful of grass for it.

But if a student doesn't do what it's told, then that person will be in bad luck.

Because this skeleton horse is very cautious, it will appear behind the student without dispersing, becoming a nightmarish existence.

A smile appeared on Raymond's face at the thought of the almost mischievous habit of the skeleton horse, because it was said that among the new students of the same period, there was an arrogant teenager who was entangled by the skeleton horse and became the most famous victim.

According to Rebecca, because he didn't take the skeleton horse seriously, he ignored his orders, and the man was subjected to the skeleton horse's crazy and savage revenge.

But Rebecca didn't actually know how to solve the problem in the end, and she heard from the other students that as long as she heard the sound of the skeleton horse's hooves, the poor child would instinctively pull out his legs and run away, and he didn't even dare to look back.

Therefore, according to the students' speculation, this poor child must have been cleaned up very miserably by this skeleton horse, so that this kind of anti-shè behavior has become his instinct, and it has left a serious shadow in his heart, and it is still deeply rooted.

Listening to the sound of the horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Raymond didn't want to be unhappy with the strange skeleton horse, so he stood quietly at the door of the castle and waited.

"Little one, can you do me a little favor?" and when the sound of the horse's hooves clattered and clicked, the skeletal horse's head poked out in front of Raymond from the side. "Send a message to Lady Martha for Lord Ben, telling her that Lord Ben likes her very much and is looking forward to a date with her!"

The two red rays of light that flickered in Bai Sensen's skull were less than a foot away from Raymond's cheeks, which looked a little dazzling, but the skull horse's speechless message made Raymond dare not imagine how angry this Lady Massa would be when she heard this message.

"Lord House, I will convey your message to you word for word," Raymond, who narrowed his eyes, hesitated and took two steps back before saluting with his right hand on his chest. "But can you tell me where to find this Lady Martha?"

Although it was to be expected that such a message would cause trouble, Raymond, who was ready to give up the confrontation, decided to help it deliver the message.

However, Raymond's question was not answered by the skeleton horse, and it seemed to be lost in thought, and its bone-like body remained in that listening posture, not moving.

And as time passed, the red light in its skull became extremely dim, like a candle in the wind, which would be extinguished at any time.

Raymond, who frowned, was a little strange, but before he could speak again, suddenly a voice came from behind him. "Ignore it, Lady Martha has been dead for hundreds of years. ”

This abrupt sound made Raymond's hairs stand on end, and Raymond, who turned around in astonishment, immediately saw the old black cat, and at some point it was already squatting at the door of the castle, looking at him with its strange eyes.

"It's okay, it's going to take a long time to recover, go do your thing. After saying that, the old black cat shook his body and walked into the hall.

Being beaten by the old black cat, Raymond looked at the skeleton horse again, still not sure whether what the old black cat said was correct, Raymond, who hesitated for a moment, asked again, and only quickly left here after not getting an answer.

On the way to Edgar's castle, the cold sweat on Raymond's back was dried by his body temperature, the mist-like pale red mist was surging with the wind, and the moist feeling on his cheeks made Raymond understand that all that happened just now was not false.

The chance encounter with the skeleton horse made Raymond shudder after thinking about it carefully, and the old black cat made Raymond's heart palpitate, these weirdness in the wizarding academy, although Rebecca told him a lot, but when he really met him, he still couldn't make Raymond stay calm.

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Raymond finally saw the castle with lost leaves and flames, and he quickly dispelled the image of the skeleton horse and the old black cat from his mind, but Raymond, who was about to walk in, saw a familiar figure rushing out of it......
