Finnish capital.
Fifteen days have passed since this year's graduation assessment.
The ruins were burning, and countless thick black smoke shot straight into the sky.
The city was howling, and there were corpses and war weapons everywhere. There were countless giant bird corpses, like slapped flies, blood splashed on the surrounding ruins.
The falling balloon airship and the powerful people smashed huge craters on the ground, telling the fierce battles here.
The wizards who invaded like flood demons brought death and destruction to this garden city, sowed darkness and fear, and now they have completely disappeared without a trace.
Crying amidst the rubble of ruins, rescuers kept coming from all directions.
Gu Bo and Sulfur Rock stared at this hell-like scene, and could no longer see the remains of the garden city at all. Even though they were as indifferent to the impermanence of the world, their eyes could not help but feel a little moist.
"Wizard of the Dark World."
Gu Bo almost squeezed out his voice from between his teeth.
"I heard that when the Black Death was raging, every city was in such a tragic state. It was the darkest moment for mankind, and it was almost extinct. Even the Creator of Light was affected by this, and the power of faith was greatly weakened. Then form an absolute suppression of the dark world."
Sulphur sighed.
"The blood of the Grand Duke Capricornus sacrificed to the capital of Finland, the Principality of Finland perished, the dark world rose, and a new era of war came."
No wonder the two did not participate in the defense of the Finnish capital.
after all.
The two shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the Gran students. Behind them stood more than 200 Gran students who had been eliminated earlier. They were the future of the Grand Duchy.
…
"My God!"
Members of an exploration team screamed in terror and trembled in disbelief.
People nearby hurriedly gathered in the past.
I saw countless corpses gathered into a hill-like shape.
If you look closely, it seems that someone wants to use the corpses to complete a crazy art project and pile up these corpses into a castle
"Door of hell."
I don't know who it is, after witnessing such a terrifying scene, I muttered instinctively.
…
on the ground.
The giant's footprints, tens of meters tall, were clearly imprinted on the ground, and they walked towards the palace step by step unstoppably.
According to the task instructions, a dozen or so advanced scholars and investigation teams came to the sealed gate deep in the palace.
Cuckoo.
A few green-eyed owls are fleeting.
"Inside is the Finnish national treasury. It is said that the construction of the national treasury was completed according to the highest specifications. Without the correct opening method, even those wizards could not open the door in just ten days. This is the reconstruction of the Principality of Finland. Foundation!"
However, when the investigation team of these scholars passed through the ruins and came to the secret entrance of the treasury in the mountainside, they immediately froze in place.
The treasury door was open, and it was empty inside.
But this is not the main thing.
in front of the gate.
Countless palms, thousands of them, were brutally cut off and piled up in front of the gate.
An old scholar staggered and said with a pale face, "It's over, it's over. The Principality of Finland has no hope, nothing left."
A man with a gloomy face walked up to these severed palms and studied them carefully.
Another middle-aged female scholar came up behind him. She used to be the princess of the principality, and said in a sobbing voice, "The gate of the national treasury can only be opened with the handprints of two of the three people, the commander of the guards, His Majesty the King, and Jie Coordinator. They must be looking for hidden intermediaries, so they cut off everyone's hands!"
With tears streaming down her face, she asked, "What did you find?"
The man with a gloomy face got up.
"These hands... are not from the same corpse."
The middle-aged female scholar froze for a moment, then said angrily, "This humor is not funny!"
…
Finnish Academy of Natural Sciences.
The square is full of meteor craters and corpses. The ruins of towers hundreds of meters collapsed on the square, and there are countless corpses in meteor craters.
With a "click", a heavily armored warrior stomped angrily on the corpse of a wizard, and led the professors from the five principalities' colleges to the damaged balance altar.
"It was several old professors from the academy who jointly performed the sealing technique and destroyed the basic structure of the balance altar, ensuring that the assessment students inside would not be attacked by wizards."
The old scholar who was in charge of restoring the altar had a gloomy expression.
"The sealing technique has been lifted, but if you want to restore the altar, other materials are good. The zero boundary stone and mithril stored by the academy have been looted by those wizards. Now you need 35000g zero boundary stone and 550g mithril to complete the repair."
After everyone glanced at it, although their hearts were bleeding, they silently began to think of ways to gather repair materials.
in this way.
It wasn't until sunset that the brand new balance altar was finally restored among the ruins of the collapsed Finnish tower.
"Embedded magic stone."
All advanced models, embedded in the groove of the altar.
The old scholar who specializes in space-time academics who is in charge of restoring the altar took a deep breath and said, "Then, activate the space-time altar!"
With the energy supply of the magic stone, countless energy runes gradually lit up on the balance altar, regaining the effect of time and space.
However.
It was completely different from what the crowd was expecting.
After opening the altar of time and space, no one teleported out.
"I have missed the last time stipulated for leaving the assessment space. The students inside probably haven't realized that the teleportation effect has been restored. I will activate the forced teleportation function later and summon them out."
The old scholar explained a little bit.
After a while.
Just when the old scholar was about to activate the forced teleportation function of the altar, suddenly, there was a flash of "buzz", and a student appeared on the altar.
Whoops, whoops, whoops...
There was a sound of gasping violently. This was a Welland student with a relatively immature face, half-kneeling on the altar, staring blankly at everything around him, unbelievable.
"Sul!"
The old professor of Welland College looked surprised and helped the student up.
"What about the others, what's going on inside?"
"Dead, all dead."
Su Er gradually recovered, muttering in a low voice.
The old professor was stunned for a moment, looking at this student who was completely different from before. He seemed to exude a wild aura with great potential, or the aura of a creature at the top of the food chain.
"What happened inside!?"
"It's Gran College! After they went there to collect badges, they never came back. Until just now, I couldn't restrain my curiosity. I broke into the heart of the Gran Examination Area and saw their bodies. They were all dead!"
The old professor looked at Gu Bo.
It's not just him, the [Hidden Man] and [White Light] of Sealand College, the [Old Demon] and [Savage Beast Master] of Wellland College all looked at Gu Bo with unfriendly eyes.
"snort!"
Gu Bo's heart jumped, but he sneered on his face, and said without fear: "They are looking for death by themselves, what do you want me to do?"
Om, oom, oom, oom, oom, oom, oom...
Following the forcible summoning of the time-space altar, the assessment students in the secret territory appeared on the altar one after another.
All in all, there are only a hundred or so remaining examiners from the five colleges and many families of freelance scholars.
Lei Luo stood in front of Bai Xing, Xiao Kang, Yulia, and Sibo.
"Lei Luo!"
Lei Luo stared at the ruins of the Finnish capital, recovered from the astonishment and shock, and looked at Gu Bo who was walking in a hurry.
"Mentor! What the hell happened here...?"
Not just Laylo.
The people on the altar were about to question and roar angrily, but when they saw the doomsday ruins in front of them, they all opened their mouths and were speechless.
"It's a wizard! We must get out of here immediately!"
The students of the Grand Academy of Natural Sciences gathered here for the first time, but there were only about twenty people.
Gu Bo frowned and looked at the old scholar in charge of time and space summoning.
If there is a feeling, the old scholar said: "It's all here."
"what happened?"
Gu Bo looked around at Angela, Aoun, Noel, Rocky, Megana, Dylan, Bai Xing, Xiao Kang, Yulia, Sibo, and several other strong people in the class, and said in amazement: "Where are they? ?”
Everyone looked at Lei Luo one after another.
Gu Bo also looked at Lei Luo.
"They're all dead."
Lei Luo seemed to say another very common thing, and explained: "Killed by the shadow predator."
"Why is this happening!"
After a little understanding of the cause of the incident, Gu Bo couldn't help roaring angrily: "Why did you disband the sealing team and target the students of your own academy instead! I don't know how many nobles in the Principality will hate you in the future. Even if you complete the graduation assessment, what should you do in the future?" How to stand!"
There are more than 20 people here, plus the more than 200 people who came out before the arrival of the wizard, and the assessment team of more than 500 people, only half of them went back
As he said that, he looked at Lei Luo, and couldn't help feeling sorry.
"I know, you are doing this for me! But if you are doing this, you are ruining your own future! Is it worth it?"
"No, mentor, you misunderstood."
Staring at Gu Bo, a smile appeared on the corner of Lei Luo's mouth, showing satisfaction.
Under Gu Bo's puzzled gaze, Lei Luo shook his head slowly.
"I just wanted to see if anyone could defeat the academic truth I was after, but... none."
Lei Luo chuckled and said: "It seems that the star screen world is not the center of the universe after all, and it did not bring them the power to defeat me."
