The so-called Kuroshio is a natural phenomenon in which the magical creatures in the Silent Forest lose their minds due to hunger in some harsh conditions in late winter and early spring, and then storm the town of Beta, seeking food and other ways out.

Of course, there is another explanation, every time the Kuroshio surges, it alarms the 'wild hunters' who are lost in the depths of the Silent Forest. It was a group of sorcerers who were obsessed with hunting demons and lost in the darkness, walking with the mist, with death as a companion, chasing prey that they would never be able to chase, pouring out of the forest like a dark tide.

As a general rule of thumb, Kuroshio usually erupts in February and March every year, and no later than April.

It's already early June, and this year's Kuroshio has already erupted, so theoretically there won't be a new Kuroshio.

But when Colmar heard the report from his subordinates, he didn't have the slightest suspicion.

Because in the whole of Phuket, or the entire wizarding world, one of the most sensitive groups to the Kuroshio is the magicians who have lived in the northern district of Beta Town for generations.

The magnitudes of the Wizarding League investigate the Kuroshio, either through alchemical instruments fixed to trees or rocks, through divination magic such as crystal balls and tarot cards, or through the oral narration of the person in question, and extracting the memories of the undead. They seldom confront dirty and dangerous creatures.

And the tricksters of the North District, all their understanding of Kuroshio is based on life.

Many magicians need to venture deep into the Silent Forest, risking their lives to gather herbs and magical materials in exchange for a meager income to make ends meet. Because of their weak magical abilities and great risks, every step they took in the Silent Forest was explored by their predecessors with their lives.

Like dragonflies before a rainstorm, they are unusually sensitive to climate change, and when they catch the wrong prey in the wrong place, they know a storm is coming—and in this respect, they are no worse than those of advanced soothsayers.

It's just that the soothsayer is fiddling with the thin thread that hangs the sword of Damocles every time he makes an accurate divination, and he will not easily waste his energy on such a trivial matter.

"How much longer. Colmar turned her gaze back to the bottom of the river, at the swarming tadpoles. She was asking how long it would be before the new Kuroshio broke out.

"It can happen at any time. The subordinate replied respectfully. Unless the mistake is completely confirmed, they can't believe that there will be two black tides in a year, and naturally they don't dare to report it to the Great Sage.

"What about scale?"

"Big...... Unprecedented. ”

"Be specific. ”

"In addition to Beta, First University may also be within the reach of this Kuroshio. ”

"Is the school not responding?"

“...... No. ”

"No reaction is the biggest reaction. Colmar said thoughtfully.

She had thought that the wizards of the North Side had discovered the Kuroshio Surge because they were sensitive to danger, but now it seemed that the situation was much worse than she had expected.

Under normal circumstances, such a big change in the Silent Forest would definitely alarm the school's monitoring circle. According to common sense, no matter how the school intends to deal with this inexplicable 'black tide', it will send a considerable number of hunting teams to explore the Silent Forest, instead of being silent and indifferent as it is now.

No, not indifference.

Colmar felt that the school's response was more appropriate with the words 'be prepared'.

"The biggest reaction?" The subordinate obviously didn't understand the meaning of Colma's words, and was stunned for a moment: "Does it mean that the school already knows that the Kuroshio is coming?

"It's business as usual. The early warning and early warning, the defense preparation, the defense preparation. The witch tugged at her cloak and looked across the water into the depths of the Silent Forest:

"We can't put our hopes in someone else. ”

"The people of the North Side always believe too much in the power of magic, the students always believe too much in the power of the school, and the old wizards above the North District and the students are too superstitious about the power of fate...... When everyone puts their hope in others, and those who remain in themselves, only despair remains. ”

"The North End has had enough of despair. ”

"Since the school plans to hide in the turtle shell, let the whole of Phuket Island see the power of the wizards of the North District, and see how much fog and darkness can be dispelled by that wildfire called Hope!"

......

......

The rats stalked for a long time along the deep silent river before finally landing at a secluded inlet.

The 'soap bubbles' that sheltered from the water burst out of the water, making a faint 'crackling' sound, and thousands of soap bubbles shattered together, like the sound of wood burning in a blazing fire.

The rats were divided into different queues according to the color of their vests, and they lined up in a neat line and poured into a small clearing deep in the inlet.

In the middle of the clearing, there is a small arch.

The arches are high and low, with Roman columns to the left and right, and the vaults are entangled with olive branches and laurels, and a group of naked, chubby elves with eerie smiles on their faces, hidden among the lush foliage.

Red, yellow, and cyan, the three teams were like three thin threads twisted together, one end submerged in the low arch, the other still immersed in the bubbling silent river.

The rat fairy sat on his chariot and watched all this silently.

Beside it, a squat scrawled a wizard shrouded in black robes, with a hood on his head, revealing only a small piece of pale and smooth chin.

"Are you sure they're reliable?" the wizard looked at the rats in their vests, his tone full of suspicion, "It's not that I don't believe you, I just think it's a little ridiculous." ”

"Ridiculous?" The wrinkles on the Rat Immortal's face deepened a little, "You don't think it's ridiculous for a wizard to use elves as an assistant for experiments, and don't you think it's ridiculous for an alchemist to use corpses to refine living things...... Now, with a few little mice helping you carve rune lines, you think it's ridiculous? As for reliability, if they're not reliable, there's nothing I can trust in this world. ”

"It's not a carving rune, it's just a fight!" the black-robed wizard reminded him, and then complained, "If it weren't for your sudden request to speed up, I could have done better on my own." ”

"Time is running out. No one knew that the fruit was suddenly about to ripen. The rat immortal's tone was also full of helplessness: "Wander, that guy is also busy now." ”

"It's not necessarily a bad thing. The black-robed wizard was relieved instead: "We weren't ready, the school wasn't ready, and those demons were naturally not ready...... When everyone's preparation is not sufficient, the competition is unexpected. And I believe that Big Zero Three is the biggest accident in the world. ”
