Under the dim yellow flame, a black shadow of a mahogany round table was reflected.
The four table legs pulled out long black shadows and cast them on the wall, like the limbs of a monster, with an ominous brilliance.
Leylin stood in front of the table, his shadow stretched out.
On the red wooden tabletop, a bundle of black scrolls was quietly placed. On the surface of the scrolls, there was a pattern of a crow. At this time, the crow seemed to be alive, singing continuously and making a piercing sound.
"Anyway, let's see what's inside first!"
Leylin made up his mind, "Even if it's a trap with tracking spells inside, I still have enough time to escape!"
Even so, Leylin still held a newly refined Tilph Spinner Potion in his hand.
Immediately, Leylin looked solemn, and said in ancient Byron: "In my name, Leylin Farrell, open it!!!"
Quack quack! ! ! The black crow chirped for a while, then twisted its figure, and many black lines condensed again, turning into a black skull pattern.
Leylin took a red spar from his bosom and threw it into the mouth of the skull.
crunch! crunch! ! ! The black skull flew directly out of the paper and ate the red spar into its mouth.
Peng! ! ! After eating the spar, all the black skulls exploded, the scroll trembled, and burned from the bottom, emitting a green flame.
Green flames condensed into letters in the air.
The corner of Leylin's eyes twitched. These green letters used a secret language that outsiders couldn't understand at all, and he had learned the corresponding encryption and decryption methods at the Black Bone Forest Academy.
Under the green text, there is a bright red seal, and under the name taboo written in ancient Byron, there is a pattern of a black snake crawling out of the skull.
"Even the seal of the dean appeared, it seems that the news is not fake!"
Leylin's complexion also fluctuated with the green cipher text, cloudy or sunny.
After a long time, the flame burned out, and the green font disappeared into the air, leaving only a pile of ashes on the desktop.
Leylin let out a long breath, and then frowned tightly.
"I actually issued the highest order to let the apprentices outside give up all tasks and rush back to Black Bone Forest Academy immediately!"
"Moreover, the punishment has been set to an extremely severe level. Those who do not come to the academy within three months will be directly defined as traitors and will be wanted and hunted down by the academy's law enforcement team!!!"
"I'm afraid, I have to go back!" Leylin muttered to himself.
As for whether this was an enemy's trap or something, Leylin wasn't worried at all.
First of all, Leylin is just a small apprentice, it is impossible for the enemy to take great pains for him. In addition, the dean of the Black Bone Forest is a legendary figure, at least a second-level wizard. Even if the Black Bone Forest Academy is defeated, his personal seal will not fall into the hands of the enemy.
"Black Bone Forest Academy..." Leylin sighed, thinking of Mentor Goffat, Brigitte, Nisi and others, and didn't know what happened to them.
Leylin's decision to leave in a hurry was indeed somewhat selfish, but his strength was inferior to ants in front of the two academies, and he couldn't think of a better way.
"Unexpectedly, after three years, I will finally go back!"
Leylin suddenly ordered, "Chip, recall my current state!"
"Ding! Leylin Farrell, third-class apprentice, official knight Strength: 3.1 Dexterity: 3.3 Constitution: 3.7 Spirit: 13.1 Mana: 13 (mana is determined by the synchronization of mental power) Status: Healthy"
More than a year has passed, and the new blue potion, even for third-class apprentices, has a very good effect, pushing Leylin's mental power up by 3 points.
But Leylin's drug resistance has reached its limit, no matter how much blue potion he drinks, it won't have any effect.
Unless other types of mental power potions were prepared, it would be impossible for Leylin to improve his mental power as he has done in recent years.
"After the third-class apprentice, it is the realm of a full-fledged wizard!" Leylin muttered to himself, "From a third-class apprentice to a full-fledged wizard is a big hurdle, and the difficulty is much greater than the second-class promotion to the third-class."
As for some information about official wizards, it seems that the entire wizarding organization is deliberately controlling it. Even if Leylin sprinkled a lot of magic stones, he couldn't collect any content.
The thrilling scene when he was promoted to the third-class apprentice last time suddenly appeared before Leylin's eyes.
"The high-ranking people in the wizarding world strictly grasp the key knowledge for wizards' promotion, no matter how talented other wandering wizards are, as long as they don't join them, they won't get advanced knowledge, so as to limit the resistance of the bottom and maintain the rule..."
Leylin also experienced the consequences of doing this last time. If he hadn't had the chip, he would have died long ago with not even a bone left.
"Black Bone Forest Academy! You must go back once to get knowledge about official wizards!"
This is the only place that Leylin can think of where it is relatively easy to obtain the required knowledge. Other markets and the like do not have such content at all.
The path of a wizard is full of thorns, and any wrong step will cause irreversible consequences.
The last time Leylin took the risk of being promoted to a third-class apprentice, because he didn't get the teaching from the academy and the tutor system, he just relied on the chip to deduce, and as a result, he encountered two emergencies in a row. Lin couldn't be so lucky to be promoted successfully without leaving any sequelae.
"It's just... the arrangements for those subordinates need to be considered again!"
Leylin rubbed his chin, "Perhaps it's a good idea to arrange a back road here..."
"Order, I'm going to have dinner with my subordinates tonight!"
After leaving the secret room, Leylin gave instructions to Anna on the side.
"Yes! Master!" Leylin has always been relatively withdrawn. He has completely delegated authority to his subordinates and other trivial matters to Anna and Goring. He spends all day in the laboratory and rarely goes out. Now he suddenly announced The order clearly surprised Anna, but she was a smart woman, so she didn't ask any further questions, and held up her skirt to give a salute, showing her beautiful curves in front of Leylin's eyes, and then quickly backed away.
In the manor, there is naturally a hall dedicated to dining with the lord and his subordinates.
The whole hall is made of red boulders and turning heads. The windows are relatively small, and the light is usually dim, but the beautiful silver frame in the middle and hundreds of candles on it completely solve this problem.
In the middle of the hall, there is a long red table. The waiters and cooks in black dresses are placing huge armchairs in corresponding positions, and covering the long table with a thick white cloth. There are silver spoons, knives, forks, cups and saucers and other dining tools.
When I arrived, the table was already covered with various delicacies, the middle one was a roast lamb, and around the golden roast, there were many purple and red berries, matching together, exuding a tempting human breath.
Leylin sat down directly on the most honored seat, and glanced at the people below.
On Leylin's left and right are Goring and Fresa respectively. As knights and the first to follow Leylin, they naturally have a high status. Immediately behind them are the butler Old Walker and Roland Eagle. Captain Phelan.
As for Anna, she stood quietly behind Leylin, like a dedicated maid, but no one present dared to treat her as a maid.
Everyone knows that Anna is very popular with this young master, not only can she see Leylin from time to time, but she also holds the key to the treasury! This even caused criticism from the housekeeper Old Walker, but Leylin didn't care.
After Fei Lun got a piece of land from Leylin, he moved his entire family here and became a vassal attached to Leylin.
Then there was the Roland Eagle mercenary group. The contract between Leylin and them expired not long ago. Nearly half of the mercenaries were attracted by Leylin's favorable conditions and settled in the manor.
There were many people on the long table, but Leylin was familiar with these few. The others looked familiar, but Leylin could only recognize faces and names, which were still remembered by the chip.
Leylin had always been indifferent to trivial matters in life, and the path of a wizard had already taken up most of his mind, so he really didn't have the time to think about them.
Of course, Leylin's attitude towards dealing with it was the same as that of many wizards, and also conformed to the people's views on wizards at the time.
In the hearts of most people on the south coast, wizards are a group of mysterious powers, but they are extremely lonely. They have been living in dark forests and hidden swamps, and only go out when they need materials and other things.
"Master!"
Everyone around the long table stood up and bowed in salute.
"Ding!" Leylin tapped the cup in front of him with a silver spoon, making a pleasant sound.
"Everyone! I invite you here today because I have something to announce!" Leylin glanced around, his mental strength had reached 13.1 at this time, his eyes were radiant, as if they were carved out of the finest gemstones The same as before, the eyes of all the people he saw hurt, and tears poured out unconsciously.
Even the two knights, Goring and Fresa, could only lower their heads deeply at this moment.
"Young Master, please give me instructions!"
"I will be away for a while, and there is no definite return date. During my absence, the affairs of the manor and the pharmacy will be discussed and decided by Anna, Goring, and Fresa!"
Leylin looked at the people below and said slowly.
"What?" There was an uproar, and then everyone whispered to each other, casting strange eyes on Anna, Goring, and Fresa.
Focused by everyone's eyes, Göring and Fresa were fine, but Anna, who was a woman, pulled her skirt with some embarrassment.
"Silence!" Leylin knocked on the silver cup again, and the scene fell silent.
"From now on, the words of the three of them are my words, but whatever their will is, you must fully and thoroughly implement it."
"Obey!" Although Leylin didn't usually take care of things, his majesty became more and more serious. There were rumors that he was a mysterious person outside, making the people below even more awed.
