Chapter 187: Departure
Although he had already decided to leave, for the time being, even if Chen Heng wanted to leave, he couldn't leave immediately.
Today, he is not alone.
In the academy, he has a lot of business that he needs to keep an eye on, and now that he is about to leave, this piece also needs to be cut.
As for Charry's side, he also needs to explain it in advance.
After all, now, with Chen Heng's continuous growth, he has really joined Charry's experiment, and he can be regarded as an indispensable assistant to the other party in the experiment.
It is precisely because of this that if he wants to leave, he must also let Charry know in advance.
Otherwise, it's not good.
Dealing with these things took Chen Heng some effort.
Charry was fine there.
Now, because of the importance of Chen Heng, in front of Chen Heng, Chari does not have any special shelf, and he is very calm in the face of Chen Heng's request, and agrees to his request very easily.
"If you want to be away for a while, that's fine. ”
Looking at Chen Heng, Charry smiled: "The recent situation is indeed a bit chaotic, and it is not a good choice to leave now." ”
"Speaking of which, even if you don't want to leave, after a while, you will have to leave. ”
"Huh?"
Listening to Charry's words, Chen Heng couldn't help but be stunned and felt a little surprised.
Looking at his appearance, Chari didn't say anything, and directly explained: "It's the reason for the academy." ”
"Recently, due to the war, a large number of apprentices have been lost, and all of them have left the academy. ”
"Many parts of the academy have now ceased operations due to a lack of apprentices. ”
"So some time ago, Ariel deliberately held a meeting to prepare to repatriate all the remaining apprentices in the academy and temporarily seal the academy. ”
"In other words, even if Ed doesn't leave now, after a period of lockdown of the Academy, you have to go. ”
"...... like this"
Hearing this, Chen Heng nodded, and understood what Charry said.
Although the war has not yet reached the vicinity, the impact is already very clear.
Many of the apprentices fled the area in fear of the impending war.
The flight of a large number of apprentices has affected the normal operation of the academy.
After all, under normal circumstances, many of the college's industries would require a large number of apprentices to operate properly.
But at this time, as the apprentices fled the academy to return to their hometowns, the daily operations of the academy were also affected.
It may be for this reason that Ariel and other high-level officials of the academy decided to temporarily close the academy for a while, and wait until the turmoil of the war is over before resuming the operation of the academy.
After all, after the lack of a large number of third-level apprentices, the new round of enrollment plans of the academy will also be affected.
Or even if students are recruited, there are not enough apprentices to teach them.
Rather than that, it would be better to put on a temporary lockdown for a while, wait until the war is over and everything is back to normal, and then resume operations.
It may also be a means of evading war.
After all, at the current stage, with the news from the northwest coming constantly, although it has not affected the south for a while, the future may not be known.
In order to avoid the Hunter's House Academy being implicated, it may be a good idea to lock the academy down in time now.
Chen Heng instantly understood their thoughts, and then realized something.
With the lockdown of the Academy, many things that could be easily obtained in the Academy in the past may be difficult to obtain for some time to come.
This is an inevitable trend.
After all, without the academy, a platform for free trading and gathering a large number of wizards, many wizards may not be able to find a place to get what they want, even if they have needs.
And some things that can only be obtained in the academy will probably not be found for a long time after that.
Many thoughts quickly flashed in Chen Heng's heart, and then he looked at Chari in front of him.
"In another month's time, the academy will make an announcement, and then the academy's apprentices will be evacuated sooner. ”
Looking at Chen Heng, Charry nodded, and then smiled: "Ed, if you have anything to prepare, go and prepare as soon as possible." ”
"If there's something you can't do under normal circumstances, you can just come to me for help. ”
With some hint in his mouth, he spoke.
Chen Heng nodded, and soon understood: "I understand." ”
In Charry's laboratory, Chen Heng talked with Chari for a long time before turning around and leaving the area.
Walking out of the door, Chen Heng did not hesitate and walked to the previous square again.
The small square that was used for apprentice trading before is still there, but with the evacuation of a large number of apprentices, it can't help but become a little lonely at the moment, and the original lively scene has almost disappeared.
But it's okay.
At this moment, the news of the imminent closure of the academy has not yet come out, and there are still many apprentices around, which supports this place and does not make this place completely uninhabited.
Among them, some of the apprentices walked the area in a hurry.
Because he has often taught courses to people in the past two years, Chen Heng has also met a lot of acquaintances among them.
For example, the middle-aged man who was standing not far away and was still setting up a stall there at the moment.
The middle-aged man was dressed in gray leather armor, burly and tall, and he looked very powerful at a glance, not like an ordinary wizard, but like a knight.
At this moment, with a bitter look on his face, he just sat in front of a small stall, waiting for business to come to his door.
This is Yalman, the material dealer in this area.
At the beginning, Chen Heng made demonized items, and the magic iron metal he purchased was bought from him.
More than two years have passed, and the other party is still setting up a stall here, but it seems that the business has deteriorated a lot.
And it's no wonder.
After all, now, with the news of the coming war, the number of apprentices around is much smaller, and the value of some raw materials has also fallen sharply.
As a material dealer, his life is not easy, which is also a very normal thing.
Chen Heng walked in front of the other party.
"Long time no see. ”
Seeing Chen Heng's figure, Yarman's eyes suddenly lit up, and at this time, the bitterness on his face disappeared, and he suddenly became enthusiastic: "Dear Ed, how are you doing?"
"Not bad. ”
Looking at Yarman, Chen Heng smiled and said softly: "What else do you have here?"
"As in the past, some magic iron metal or something. ”
Looking at Chen Heng, Yarman said, "But there are many things in it that are demonized. ”
He looked at Chen Heng and added.
Chen Heng nodded: "It's not bad." ”
The cooperation with Yarman has been done many times over the years.
Regarding Chen Heng's habits, Yarman can be considered to have figured it out.
Chen Heng didn't like to demonize the materials by himself, but instead liked to hire other apprentices and let other apprentices help him do this.
Over time, Yalman simply did the work himself, and every time he sold the materials, he would dispose of the materials.
This time it's pretty much the same.
However, at present, in the recent period, his business situation is not very good.
Chen Hengzhi looked at his shelves.
There aren't many things on the shelves in Yalman, but the basics are there.
Things like magic iron metal aren't rare here.
"What do you want?"
Looking at Chen Heng, Yarman said, "The price is negotiable. ”
"Haven't there been any apprentices coming to buy anything lately?"
Chen Heng looked around, and then asked casually.
"It's gone. ”
Yarman shook his head, and didn't hide anything: "Basically, all these things don't sell. ”
"A lot of the apprentices are gone, and some of the materials are simply not wanted. ”
"After all, not everyone has the ability to craft demonized items like Eddard and you. ”
He spoke, with some envy in his words.
Indeed, even among all wizard groups, there are very few wizards who can craft demonized items.
Most wizards also use materials such as magic iron, but the things they make are not demonized items at all, they can only be regarded as inferior.
Like Chen Heng, wizards who can make demonized items are still a minority in the wizard group.
"That's right. ”
Chen Heng nodded, sighed, and then didn't say anything.
Because of the departure of a large number of wizards, the price of things here in Yarman has also been reduced, and the price has become very low.
Chen Heng picked up a lot of things inside, and then left, ready to go to the next place.
Before leaving, Chen Heng inquired, wanting to know Yarman's plans in the future.
"Continue to stay in the academy for a few days. ”
Yarman didn't hesitate, and said directly: "After I get rid of the things I have on hand, I will prepare to leave the academy and go to live elsewhere." ”
Apparently, he, like the other apprentices, was preparing to leave the academy and go to the middle of nowhere.
"Stay in touch after that. ”
Chen Heng nodded, didn't say anything, just kept Yarman's contact information and the place he was going to go later.
The communication conditions in this world are very poor, but as wizards, they naturally have a special way to keep in touch, but it will be a little troublesome.
After chatting with Yarman, Chen Heng then left and went to various places to purchase.
Because of the previous sale of demonic items, he has accumulated a large amount of magic stones on his body.
If these magic stones were only stored on his body, they would not be of great use to Chen Heng, and they could only be used as raw materials for arranging the witch array.
Now it's just the right time to use it all and buy some materials in large quantities.
There are many things in the Hunter's House Academy that are not available in the outside world.
Taking advantage of this gap now, Chen Heng is ready to purchase more things.
Otherwise, if he waits until he leaves the academy, it is estimated that it will be difficult to obtain it again.
With this thought in mind, he almost swept the place in front of him.
In addition to a large number of materials and even potions, Chen Heng also went to the academy's library and exchanged them for several spell templates.
In terms of spells, Chen Heng's demand was not too great.
After all, he has Chari, a teacher who is an official wizard, and the inheritance stone given by Yana, an exotic wizard, so the demand for spell inheritance is not very great.
Just what Chari had given him, and the contents contained in the Inheritance Stone, were enough for him to study for a long time.
So in this regard, he is not in great demand.
After walking around and spending most of the demonization on his body, Chen Heng turned around and left this place.
For the next few days, he didn't do much, just stayed in his room in silence.
What needs to be done, in this time, he has done it.
Charry's explanation has been completed, and the remedial course is basically over.
As for the ships needed to leave, Charry also helped him get in touch, and it was the latest batch of flights.
A few days later, Chen Heng left the academy with his bags on his back.
As he left, Charry walked out of the lab and personally sent him outside the academy.
"I didn't expect Lord Charry to care so much about others. ”
Outside the gate of the Hunter's House Academy, Lan Ge looked at Chari, who had left, and then at Chen Heng in front of him, and couldn't help but be a little envious at this time.
"To be able to make Lord Charry treat him like this, Ed, you are really enviable. ”
Hearing this, Chen Heng smiled, and then spoke: "What are your plans in the future?"
"Nothing to do. ”
Lan Ge shook his head, turned around and looked in the direction Charry had left, before lowering his voice and whispering, "The academy is about to be closed, but there can't be no one left inside. ”
"Until then, I'll still be here, guarding the gates of the academy. ”
He seemed to already know what the academy was going to do, and he said so now.
"Do you want to stay?"
Looking at Lan Ge, Chen Heng nodded, thoughtful.
"yes. ”
Lange smiled and said, "Actually, it's not just me. ”
"Otto, Mike, and the two of them, will stay here this time and stay in the academy with me. ”
The academy is about to be closed, but there must be no shortage of people to watch it out.
Otherwise, although there are many witch formations in the Hunter's House Academy, it is not safe after all without a wizard to guard it.
If there are no wizards left, and the wizarding array only operates on its own, there will be many problems.
This is also one of the reasons why Lange and the others need to stay guarded.
"Good luck. ”
Looking at Lan Ge, Chen Heng nodded, and then left.
Lan Ge also smiled and waved at Chen Heng.
Walking out of the gate of the academy, outside, there were carriages waiting there, looking at what should be waiting for someone.
On the way, Chen Heng could often see some apprentices coming out, just like him, who were also preparing to leave the academy.
"It's finally come to this. ”
The originally lively academy became much deserted in the blink of an eye, and there were not many people among them except for a few apprentices.
And as time passes, after a while, when the academy is closed, the situation inside will probably get even worse.
Feeling this change, Chen Heng's face was calm, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
But it's okay.
The academy is only temporarily closed, and when the war is over in the future and the situation in the Hemu region becomes clear, they will eventually call these apprentices again and call on them to come back.
The coldness at the moment is only temporary.
For Chen Heng's apprentices, their departure was only temporary, and it was nothing.
Walking on the road, after a while, an apprentice who had also left recognized Chen Heng.
It was an apprentice that Chen Heng had come to listen to when he was teaching in the past, and he was a first-level apprentice.
He recognized Chen Heng and warmly invited him to go to the port with him.
Chen Heng agreed, so he took his carriage and went to the port together.
When they arrived at the port, the ships were already waiting there, and when all the apprentices arrived, they would set sail.
"The time to leave is tomorrow. ”
Coming to the boat and putting down his salute, Chen Heng inquired and got this result.
After getting a reply, he didn't ask anything, just silently walked to his room, put down the luggage in his hand, and just rested in the room silently, while meditating.
During this period, there were also some hiccups that took place.
This ship is basically full of apprentices, or apprentices' family and friends.
And because of geographical reasons, there are many apprentices of the Hunter's House on this ship, and many of them are familiar faces to Chen Heng.
Therefore, on this ship, Chen Heng met many acquaintances, including some apprentices who had come to the Hunter's House Academy with him.
Take Zana, for example.
Zana was also preparing to return home, this time on the ship.
More than two years have passed, and now, she is already a first-level apprentice, and she has mana in her body, which is not bad.
Seriously speaking, although this progress cannot be compared with Chen Heng, it is already fast compared to ordinary apprentices.
Chen Heng could feel that the mana aura on her body was not weak, and it was not comparable to ordinary first-level apprentices.
But in his opinion, that's it.
When they met on the boat, the two were a little surprised, and then they couldn't help but catch up.
Just then, there was a noise outside.
"Victory is ours!"
A low roar came from outside.
Standing on the deck, Chen Heng turned around and looked, just feeling the mana fluctuations coming from that direction.
A large number of mana fluctuations came from that place, and it wasn't one or two.
There were Level 3 apprentices fighting in that place, and they used spells.
Feeling this scene, many people on the ship had ugly faces.
After a long while, those few mana fluctuations gradually disappeared and gradually returned to calm.
Then, a middle-aged apprentice in a black robe walked to the ship with a pale face and explained to many apprentices: "It's a member of the Moke Sect, I don't know why, I suddenly launched an attack. ”
He explained to the many apprentices, and then hurried away, leaving only the apprentices to ponder.
"Moko, it seems to be a small organization......."
Standing on the deck, Chen Heng fell into thought: "This time, did you even come up?"
In this way, as the war continued to develop and expand, more and more wizarding organizations began to be gradually affected and more or less joined the chaos.
As for the next result, I don't know what it will be.
But no matter what, it has nothing to do with Chen Heng and the others.
The next day, the ship sailed as scheduled.
Looking at the port that was gradually getting farther away in the distance, Chen Heng's face was calm and he turned around silently.
