Although he has not been here for three years, Ryan is still very familiar with the Royal Academy of Magic in the imperial capital, because it was an incident that happened here that finally confirmed his relationship with Faras, and it was also here that he asked Victor I've been here many times to ask questions, and I can say that I'm very familiar with it.
After nightfall, the Royal Academy of Magic is still full of people coming and going. This is all because of the magic exchange conference three years ago, which has greatly increased the number of people who are obsessed with learning magic on the entire continent, and the Imperial Academy of Magic certainly does not. I will miss such a good opportunity and recruit a large number of new students in the past three years in order to cultivate more talents.
Ryan wandered around the outside of the academy for several times, but never found a good opportunity to sneak in. His skills were pretty good, but after all, Ryan was not familiar with the thief's ability to conceal his whereabouts. If he wanted to defend against magic It was really a difficult task to sneak into Archmage Victor's magic tower in the academy under the protection of the formation and the academy's security patrol.
Just when Ryan was about to give up, he suddenly found an opportunity. Several magic students who had just walked out of the academy were walking out. Each of them was wearing a thick cloak. After all, it was already late autumn. With the thin bodies of these magic students, they really can't stand the already chilly evening breeze in the Imperial Capital.
After the magic students walked out of the Imperial Capital Magic Academy, they quickly went their separate ways. One of the magic students walked toward Nancheng alone. Maybe it was because it was getting late and the student wanted to go home earlier, so He walked directly into an alley. By crossing here, he could save dozens of minutes. Anyway, he had walked this road dozens of times, and ordinary thieves would not dare to provoke a magic apprentice like him. , so he walked in very relieved,
Less than 2 minutes later, the magic student walked out the same way again, but this time he covered his face with the entire cloak. It seemed that he couldn't stand the chill of the night. The magic student hurried to the imperial capital. The gate of the Magic Academy went back again. When entering the gate, the guard in charge of security asked curiously: "Hey, didn't you just leave?"
The magic student showed a pair of clear big eyes. He shrugged his shoulders calmly and said, "Don't mention it. I forgot the borrowed notes. I have to return them early tomorrow morning. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
"Oh." The guard responsible for guarding the gate nodded and said nothing. The few batches of students recently recruited by the Imperial Magic Academy are from civilian families. They have been here for a short time, but they study very hard and often study late at night. He is studying hard and is not even a little bit better than those so-called aristocratic children.
The magic student walked in quickly and quickly disappeared from the sight of the guard. When he walked to a secluded corner, he quickly hid in the shadows and took off the clothes he was wearing. After taking the apprentice cloak, Ryan quickly wrapped it up and stuffed it into his storage pocket.
Anyway, Ryan finally got in. He figured out the direction a little, and soon found the general location of where he was. He also knew how to get to Victor's Magic Tower, so he put his body as much as possible Hide in the darkness and slowly sneak towards the target direction. As for the reason why Ryan does not continue to wear the apprentice cloak, it is because generally even senior magicians are not qualified to walk in the area where the magister is. Ryan If you really want to keep wearing those clothes, you will clearly tell others that there is something wrong with you and come and arrest me.
There are defensive magic circles everywhere in the Royal Academy of Magic. The most common one is a magic circle similar to the "Magic Eye", which can identify creatures passing through the magic circle area. As long as someone passes by it, an alarm will be triggered. This kind of magic The array can be placed very discreetly in any corner of the magic academy, maybe in the corner or under the bushes, making it hard to detect.
However, Ryan is a magician who is proficient in magic circles. He walked carefully and avoided the magic circles along the way as much as possible. He actually broke into the magician's area safely, where was Security measures are even stricter in areas where only magisters of the Royal Academy of Magic and above can enter and exit.
Ryan gently wiped the sweat from his forehead. This journey took him a lot of energy. At this time, Ryan looked up at the sky. The crescent moon in the sky began to tilt slightly to the west. Apparently, it was just past midnight. , Ryan was shocked. He usually only walked for ten minutes, but tonight he walked for a full three hours.
Ryan carefully observed the direction and finally found the familiar spire magic tower about 200 meters away. He breathed a long sigh of relief and prepared to speed up the march, but suddenly a sense of alarm appeared in Ryan's heart. Zhao, his battle-scarred body had already made evasive movements before Ryan's consciousness,
A black figure suddenly appeared on the side of Ryan. He raised his right hand and a bolt of lightning struck Ryan's chest. When Ryan felt a warning sign, it was the moment when the lightning struck, so Ryan's body subconsciously fell back, but His feet were still firmly planted on the ground,
Ryan's evasive action actually dodged the lightning attack that was so close, which surprised the black shadow who took action. However, the black shadow's hand did not stop at all, and continuously released several bolts of lightning to attack Ryan. Ryan's upper body was already He was almost touching the ground. At this time, he already understood that he was under attack, so he pushed his right hand hard behind his back, and his whole body began to roll backwards.
This is not the first time that Ryan has done this kind of back rolling action to avoid the enemy's attack, but this kind of action is usually used to avoid the enemy's melee attacks. If the enemy has long-range or magic attacks, this kind of back rolling is very convenient. It’s easy to make yourself a target for your enemies,
It's just that Ryan's back roll overturned Black Shadow's cognition, because when Ryan used the force to roll, his body actually split into three, and three vivid images of Ryan rolled out of Ryan's original body at the same time. When they went out, their movements were exactly the same, and even their rolling speeds were almost the same. It was impossible to tell which one was the real Ryan body with just the naked eye.
The three images of Ryan rolled at the same time to the position above the head and feet. Then the black shadow felt his eyes blurred. The three images split again. This time, there were 9 images of Ryan tumbling in mid-air. These Of course, the images were almost overlapping when they first split, but after the split, they quickly distanced themselves from each other, and their subtle differences began to appear.
