This is one of the mid-level academies of the Red Robe Mage Society located in the foothills of Mount Searle.

If you take a closer look at the educational institution of the red-robed mage, any mage who walks on Faeron will be deeply shocked.

In Serre, any child has to be tested at the age of six, even if there is only a little insignificant arcane talent, they will be sent to a basic academy like Lakeside Academy, and get basic training without discrimination, if they can have the first-level spell-casting ability within six years, they can enter the secondary academy for further training, if they can obtain the second-level spell-casting ability, then after a period of trial, they will have the qualification to prepare the red robe, for further education and training, and wait until the spell-casting ability reaches the third level, after a period of training and testing, they are eligible to become a full-fledged red-robed mage。

The academic atmosphere and educational environment of the red robe are well known to the world, such a cruel education makes the red robe apprentices always full of a sense of competition and crisis, and the learning efficiency is naturally amazing, and the worst red robe apprentices have a mastery and understanding of arcane theory far beyond the average level of the Faren mage - at least they survived.

Even the Shadow Princes of Netherland, the true descendants of Netheril, admit that the red-robed mage's arcane education system is the best in Feren.

Now in an intermediate academy under the top mage education system, a human tragedy is happening.

"Whew!—"

In one classroom, an eleven or twelve-year-old boy was tied to a chair with an activation rope, the boy was wearing a black apprentice robe with red lace, and on his head was wearing a strange face with tentacles, the four tentacles on the strange face were deeply inserted into the boy's head from his nose and ears, and the boy kept sucking sounds, and with each suck, the boy let out a howl of pain.

The creature, with its tentacles but no body, and a tube attached to it under its neck, was apparently the product of some magical experiment.

"Let's take a closer look—" The bespectacled mentor chattered as he pointed to the wailing test subject, "This sample of the Mind Flayer in our lab is decades old, and the suction simulated by the spell is insufficient, otherwise our Rosius classmate would have died a long time ago......"

"Mr. Mentor, I'm going to die soon!" the apprentice who was covered by the Mind Flayer's head screamed, his features oozing blood.

"Oh, dear Rocius, I just want you to die. The mentor had a regretful expression on his face, spread his hands, but the words in his mouth were very nervous: "You are so good, you are only twelve years old, and you are already a third-order mage, I seem to have seen that you are going to take my place in the future...... Just like what I did to my teacher back then, unfortunately, for the sake of my life, I can only end your future first. ”

"Oh! no!" Rocius shouted, and the head of the spirit sucker on his head let out a snorting sound, and with a pop, a large amount of brain pulp spurted out of his facial features, and his head fell limply to one side.

"You have seen it now, I don't know how you feel about this experiment?" The red-robed tutor snapped his fingers, and an old man in a black robe came in to put away the corpse of the dead apprentice, looking at the students who were taking notes as usual.

"Find a reliable rope before you do the experiment, and have a stun or human immobilization on hand. One such student replied.

The red-robed mage laughed loudly, and suddenly glanced at his seat for a while, a little surprised: "Why didn't you see Sean?"

"He graduated. A student replied.

"It's a shame that if he had been there, he would have been able to write a good paper. The red-robed mage said this, but his face did not show pity: "Let's do another experiment......

As an elite person produced by the quality education of the Celestial Empire, Penny Shean is very good at writing and copying homework, or using the standard template in his head to concoct a reliable enough academic report or thesis, these abilities are undoubted, but no student likes to do homework, and he is no exception, so after obtaining the desired spell, he decisively chose to graduate.

It had now been six months since he returned to the Red Robe Mage Society, and he was now in the principal's office of the Intermediate Academy, facing Dean Lenge Jhanwalsh, who was brewing mint tea.

Five months ago, Lenge Jan Huashi came into contact with the fifth layer of the magic web, and was recognized by the high-level of the Red Robe Mage Society, promoted to the official Ring Mentor, and the administrative rank was also promoted from the principal of the primary school to the principal of the middle school, and now, he looked at the new graduates of his academy, his brow furrowed slightly, obviously a little dissatisfied: "Cobweb, blind and deaf, Blade of Pain, Ghoul Touch...... This is the spell you prepared today? I have to say, your spell choice is very problematic. ”

"What's the problem?"

"Aside from spells, necromancy, and sculpting, you can't try the spells of other factions?"

"I also know how to use protection, like this. Penny recited a spell, and an invisible film appeared on his body.

"I think you should try to learn the spells of other schools as much as possible, as it will be beneficial for you to study the deeper arcane methods. James shook his head noncommittally.

"But that's too damaging to brain cells. Penny pouted, "Master, you know that my talent is very limited, and I can't learn too many complex spells. ”

In the middle level of the academy, Penny learned roughly all the three systems of magic, such as plastic energy, spells, and necromancy, as for the other schools, it was too much of a waste of time, and he didn't bother to consume energy.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter what you're going to do anyway. James shook his head.

"What am I going to do?" Penny put down his teacup.

"You must know that it is impossible for any mage organization on Faeron to teach the Apprentice the techniques of the Arcane without any cost. ”

"Do you mean to make the apprentices lose their lives for no reason, or do you encourage the apprentices to exercise their skills and minds by fighting each other?" Penny shook his head noncommittally, "If these costs are not enough, dear mentor, what do you think I should do?"

Penny was mentally prepared for what James Wash had proposed.

Indeed, no mage organization on Faeron will teach apprentices spells at no cost, and every spell a mage learns has to pay a price, either money or blood and sweat.

Mr. Jenny's sneer was not angry with Penny's cynicism, in fact, after the incident six months ago, Penny had relaxed much towards the unsmiling mentor, and found that the red-robed man had a good temper, and that the usual level of verbal stimulation did not make him angry.

"In the last year, an organization has emerged in the Desperate Eastern Regions. Dean Zhan Huashi took a sip of herbal tea, organized his words, and said slowly: "Their activities are very active, and they are extremely aimed at our Red Robe Mage Society, we already have three high-level ring masters killed because of their attacks, and the lower-ranking middle-level red robes have also lost double digits. ”

"Double digits?" Penny's heart skipped a beat, there were only a thousand formal red-robed mages in red in the red-robed mage guild, and more than a dozen of them died was already a big loss, no wonder Zhan Huashi was so dignified.

"The reason why we were able to confirm that this is a unified organization is because we have detected a phenomenon from the scene of the attack. James paused for a moment: "Inside the bodies of those attackers...... All without a heart. ”

Penny's relaxed expression stiffened suddenly, remembering that nightmarish night, the horned shadow in the flames, which was almost the closest he had ever come to death in his life, and now listening to Jenvash, the horrific omen in his heart began to loom again: "Behind that organization...... It's something of the abyss. ”

"I know, in this regard, you've done me a favor, and this is the first time we've learned a little bit about what's behind the organization. Zhan Huashi nodded: "I reflected what you told me that day to the upper echelons, they attach great importance to it, and it is also thanks to you that I can achieve this position so quickly after being promoted." ”

Penny already had an even worse premonition.

"I want to give you such a task, to find out the inside story of this organization, to clearly know what the origin of that demon is, why he was able to build such a large organization in the Desperate Eastern Regions in just one year, and who is behind him. ”

"It's an impossible task and I'm well aware of what I'm capable of. Penny frowned.

"Of course I do, so I don't expect you to do it all at once, I just hope you get some clues. Jan Washi raised a finger: "There has been news recently, there has been a coup d'état in Lythman in the north, it seems that there is a conflict between the Berserker clan and the Witch Council, and there is such a 'Heartless One' among them, this is a very valuable information, I think you can go there and see if you can get some meaningful clues." Because you're still an apprentice, it's much easier to get into Lesserman than it is for us in formal red robes......"

Zhan Huashi said, touching the tattoo on his bare forehead.

"Lesserman?" Penny thought for a moment, and his first thought was that he was glad that he had learned to 'endure elemental damage' in the past six months, so that at least he would not be frozen to death without preparing cotton clothes when he arrived at that place. Thinking about this kind of scout work, as long as you are careful, it doesn't seem too difficult, so I nodded: "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"I'm privately funding you eight hundred Belen as mission funds. James Watsy pulled out a large heavy bag from under the table.

"So this mission is also private?" Penny asked rhetorically, taking the bag, and his thoughts suddenly moved.

James nodded, but did not speak. Penny didn't ask any more, and turned to leave.

"Forgot, congratulations on entering the second layer of the magic web. ”

"'Congratulations' will appear inside the red robe, too?" Penny paused.

"This is a 'blessing' from a mentor. Zhan Huashi leaned back in his chair and slowly closed his eyes: "Pay attention to safety." ”

The footsteps faded away.
