The water droplets reflecting the crystal luster dripped onto the moist soil along the slightly yellow leaves. The dense mist filled the gray woods, and the hazy light was scattered in the woods, matched with the dire wolves that shuttled through the woods from time to time. , huge spiders weaving transparent spider webs between trees, the entire forest is hazy like a dangerous dream maze,
In the sky, the two-legged flying dragon screamed and flew past the treetops. In the black eyes, several beetle beasts were running on the road paved in the forest towards a huge castle complex in front of them.
The bipedal flying dragon stretched its wings, and the shadow cast by his figure in the light passed over the beetle beasts on the ground, and then passed over the huge castle.
Not long after flying over the castle, the flying dragon skillfully descended in a straight line, as if it was sticking to the wall. When it dropped to a certain height, the flying dragon adjusted its body shape and continued flying forward, and the original light suddenly disappeared. It disappeared and turned into a slightly dim underground tunnel with only luminous plants as the light source.
In the corridor, various beetle beasts, hell horses, and huge giants were coming and going in the corridor.
Behind the flying dragon, where it had just flown, a semicircular magic curtain shrouded a huge cave, enough to accommodate an entire forest and a large castle complex.
The magic curtain covers all the light, only the halo of the magic of music, but no light is exposed.
The vision was drawn back, through the curtain, along the road in the forest, and back to the castle.
In a building on the side of the castle, lichs are constantly manipulating skeleton soldiers, carrying various props, using magic to raise bone walls, creating magical special effects of burning flames.
There was even a huge music box made of bones, which constantly played eerie music to the outside.
This was originally the entrance preparation hall of the Graduation Training Ground of the Academy of the Dead, but at this time it has been disguised as a place like an ancient battlefield with various props, bone walls, and various special effects of light and shadow magic, and paired with music boxes The eerie music was playing, and the original preparation hall had now completely become the entrance to some eerie fortress.
In the hall, there is a square door made of stone standing alone, with a white magic halo filling the square door.
This is the entrance to the graduation training ground. This portal connects a total of one hundred and fifty closed graduation training grounds.
There was a lich in black robes beside him, and a white skeleton palm in the depths was pressing on the stone magic door. Beside him was a form and a quill, hanging in the air beside him.
"...There is no problem at training ground 150, it is ready."
Following the lich's words, the hanging quill began to write quickly on the form.
Noisy sounds soon came from the corridor on one side of the hall. A group of lichs wearing uniforms and cloaks of student uniforms were led by a lich with a black aura all over his body, but a skeletal face with a slightly haggard look. Come in.
"Professor Bacon!"
The lich who was checking the entrance to the training ground quickly came forward and saluted Bacon respectfully.
"Academic master? Didn't you graduate and go to work in the Eternal Fire Dungeon?" Bacon was stunned when he saw the lich in front of him, and then asked in surprise.
"Originally, the dean recommended me to work in the Eternal Fire Dungeon to get some training. After I have experience working in a large dungeon, it will be easier to come back and take the professorship test. But no matter what, I still want to stay in the college. Here, although I started as a teaching assistant, it may take many years to get the title of professor, but Professor Bacon, you also know that the working atmosphere in the dungeon is really not suitable for me. I clock in and out every day, get my salary at the beginning of the month, and have to To please the superiors, not even do research, summon undead to serve the lord every day, or repair some magic items. This is really not the life I want. I want to learn new knowledge, learn new magic, and see what I have never seen before. Unseen things!”
After the Lich, who was called the top student, said this, the skull face seemed a little embarrassed and said to Bacon:
"Professor Bacon, don't call me a top student. That's just a nickname given by my classmates."
After the academic master said this, the lichs behind him who were led in by Professor Bacon started whispering:
"Is that the top student? The one who graduated with the highest grades in thousands of years?"
"I heard that my academic performance is amazing. The top student completed a hundred-year course in only fifty years."
"No way!? You graduated in fifty years?"
"And he graduated with the best grades in the school."
"The top student was already a genius when he was young."
"After all, he is a once-in-a-millennium genius from the Academy of the Dead."
The whispers of the lichs began to get louder and louder. Bacon coughed dryly, and the students stopped talking, but they still stared at the top student with their empty eyes wide open.
"Now that you have decided, then work hard. After all, you are the smartest and best student I have ever taught. I still think highly of you." Bacon raised his hand, patted the top student on the shoulder, and then looked at He looked at the decorated hall scene next to him and said:
"Is this all your command? Well, it's really good."
"Professor, I don't understand why this graduation project requires all these fancy and useless decorations and eerie music, even in the training ground. After all, when the students take the assessment, they are still Is it better to stay quiet and concentrate?" the top student asked with some confusion.
"About this issue, it is a bit complicated to explain. In short, it is the request of the demon lord who helped us solve the graduation accumulation problem this time. It may be his personal hobby. After all, someone with power like this can take tens of thousands of Goblins. Anyone who is thrown out casually must have a complicated background, and it is understandable that he will have some special quirks. In short, you should curb your curiosity and don't cause any strange things."
Professor Bacon warned.
"I understand, Professor Bacon."
Although the top student said this, his skull face was still full of curiosity, probably.
"Okay, students, hurry up and enter the training venue through the portal in the opposite room to prepare. Follow the line list I sent you before, as well as the precautions for the two days of training. These are all counted as graduation points, so pay attention. .”
Professor Bacon shouted and quickly directed these students to the side room and let them go to the training ground through the student-only portal to prepare.
"Professor, the testers from the Eternal Kingdom are coming."
In the corridor on the other side, a lich came over and said so.
