Leylin's gaze was gloomy, and the light of wisdom radiated from his pupils.
"For those high-ranking wizards, how to maintain the prosperity of their family and organization has become the only thing they care about when there is no hope of making progress!"
"For this reason, they did not hesitate to monopolize the advanced knowledge subjects of wizard advancement, and completely banned the promotion of wandering wizards from the outside world. Moreover, even in the academy, the promotion of third-class apprentices is strictly controlled..."
This kind of knowledge blockage, with Leylin's vision from another world, naturally he has seen through it long ago.
But to those in positions of power, the current Leylin is like an ant, even if he sees through it, he has absolutely no way to resist.
After all, Leylin is only a third-class apprentice now, not even an official wizard!
"The Black Bone Forest College definitely has methods and experiences on how to be promoted to a first-level wizard, but I'm afraid I can't easily get them! But unfortunately, this is already the most likely solution I have thought of..."
Leylin looked at the rain curtain in the distance, and gradually fell into deep thought.
After the danger of being promoted to a third-class apprentice last time, Leylin was already a little scared. Without complete preparation and enough information, he would never dare to attack a formal wizard.
For wizards, the promotion from apprentice to official first-level wizard is arguably the most critical step, and no mistakes are allowed at all.
But Leylin couldn't find any information on this aspect in the market at all. Other than that, the only way to get this information was from official wizards.
But official wizards are much stronger than third-class apprentices. Among other things, Leylin still has no way to break through the defensive force field detected by the chip that has been wrapped around official wizards. The difficulty of getting advanced materials and information in hand is completely beyond Leylin's limit. Leylin is crazy to do this.
From what Leylin knew, it was the safest way to obtain the knowledge and resources to advance to a full-time wizard through the academy.
"According to the news that Instructor Guofat just revealed, although this time is a bit dangerous, it is also the best opportunity to obtain these knowledge and resources!"
Looking at the violent storm outside, Leylin suddenly made up his mind.
Although he is a person who cherishes life very much, he can still bravely fight with courage when the road ahead is hopeless! ! !
Now he is the best age to be promoted to a full-fledged wizard. Once he misses this opportunity, even if he can get advanced knowledge and resources in the future, I am afraid that his old body will not be able to support him to become a first-level wizard.
Moreover, he is not completely unsure, at least, through his own deduction and chip calculations, there is more than 90% possibility that the Black Bone Forest Academy is asking him to complete some dangerous task, rather than sending him to die! ! ! This is enough for him to gamble! ! !
"Just fight this time!!! If you can't climb to the summit to enjoy the brilliance of the morning light, let me completely turn into mud and rot on the ground!!!"
Facing the storm, Leylin's eyes burst into intense light.
…
Three days later, outside the Black Forest.
The forest around the Black Bone Forest Academy has been mostly destroyed at this time, the ground is full of potholes, and there are a few white fields not far away, which are covered with burnt coke. Just looking at these, you can guess What kind of tragic battle did the Black Bone Forest Academy go through back then!
"It turned out to be like this..." Leylin galloped past on his big horse, feeling grateful for his decision to leave without hesitation.
After a great battle, most of the terrain around the Black Bone Forest was destroyed. If Leylin stayed here, he would not be sure that he would be able to save his life.
After walking along the road for another ten minutes, a huge cemetery appeared in Leylin's eyes.
This is the entrance of the Black Bone Forest College on the surface, a huge rock cemetery, but at this time the cemetery, most of the tombstones inside have been collapsed, and many grave pits have been dug open, revealing the dark passages inside, and the surrounding On the stone walls and soil layers, there were still many traces of witchcraft raging. In front of Leylin's eyes, the warning sound of the chip kept coming, showing the high concentration of radiation around these traces.
"Every small tomb here is actually the private entrance of the tutor of the Black Bone Forest Academy, and it has been destroyed like this..."
Although he already knew that the Black Bone Forest Academy would be seriously injured this time, Leylin still gasped a little at such a miserable scene.
boom! ! !
Leylin randomly kicked away a stone blocking the way, and came to the huge castle-shaped tomb in the center.
This is the gate of Blackbone Forest Academy and the public passage for all apprentices.
The surface of the castle was covered with cracks, and even part of the top part collapsed, and the rest looked precarious. Leylin was a little worried. It seemed that as long as he stretched out his finger, this castle-shaped tomb would collapse completely.
"Stop! Outsider, if you can't take out the token, I will let you know what the blood price is!!!"
The two stone sculptures in front of the gate were also completely damaged, and the previous sculptures of the winged lizard and the two-headed dog were also completely missing. Just as Leylin was about to enter, there was a sound like metal rubbing.
Following the sound, a huge black figure quickly climbed down from the top of the graystone castle. This black figure was obviously two heads taller than a normal person. Its hands were so long that they reached directly to the soles of its feet. It was extremely crawling on the huge graystone castle. fast.
Although the surface of the castle's tomb was covered with cracks, no matter how the black shadow climbed up, it did not shake the castle at all. Obviously, the buildings of Blackbone Forest Academy were not as vulnerable as they appeared on the surface.
collapse! ! The black shadow suddenly jumped, and the huge figure was projected onto the ground, completely covering Leylin in the shadow.
boom! ! ! The black shadow hit the ground, splashing a burst of dust.
Leylin squinted his eyes, and finally saw the whole picture of the black shadow—it was a huge orangutan-like monster, its whole body was covered with a layer of gray stone, and its hands were directly on the ground.
"Ding! A high-energy creature was found. Compared with the database, it was judged to be a rock orangutan!" The sound of the chip also sounded at the right time.
The rock gorilla is also a creature of the wizarding world, and its combat power is comparable to that of ordinary official wizards.
"I feel the fluctuation of the token on you, take it out!!!"
The rock gorilla took a look at Leylin, and then used its huge nose to smell Leylin. As the orangutan approached, an extremely strong stench also wafted over. It took Leylin a lot of effort Forced to hold back the desire to frown.
"Token?"
Leylin just thought about it for a while, and quickly took out the red iron piece from the package that he got when he accepted the mission.
"It turned out to be this!!!"
The rock orangutan took the iron piece and swallowed the red iron piece in one gulp, as if he had eaten something delicious, and even closed his eyes to savor it.
"It's an apprentice of the Black Bone Forest Academy. He accepted the mission and went out!"
After more than ten seconds, the giant rock gorilla opened its closed eyes, and said to Leylin, "Boy, go in!!!"
"Please accept my sacrifice!" Leylin thought for a while, first bowed to the rock gorilla, and then placed a bunch of banana-like fruits on the ground.
"Elephant Trunk Banana! Not bad!!!" The gorilla nodded, took all the fruits in his hands, and eagerly tore one and threw it into his mouth.
"I want to ask, where are the two previous watchmen?"
Seeing that the rock gorilla was eating happily, Leylin asked carefully.
"Dead!" the gorilla said without looking back, causing Leylin to sigh secretly.
This was the result he had guessed a long time ago. The two stone sculpture guards before were obviously the first-line defense force of the academy, and they were also the positions most likely to be killed when attacked.
After saluting again, Leylin entered the gate of Black Bone Forest Academy.
The dim light, the spiral staircase, everything was still the same as it was before Leylin left the academy.
But I don't know why, maybe it's because of being promoted to a third-class apprentice and his mental power has greatly increased. Leylin can find some scratches on the walls and stone bricks, and there are a few bloodstains, and even next to Leylin's ear. , There was also the faint cry of dead souls.
For Leylin, who had done a lot of spiritual body experiments in Extreme Night City, he would definitely not mishear this voice.
The number of apprentices encountered along the way has decreased significantly. Leylin estimated that it is less than half of the Black Bone Forest Academy before. Even the trading area and mission area and other popular places are somewhat deserted. It looks very bleak.
In front of the counter in the mission area, Leylin handed in the previous record crystal ball and a scale of the Manxter giant snake.
"I'll hand in the mission!!!"
"Okay, please wait a moment!" The counter in the mission area changed again, this time it was a girl with freckles on her face, who looked like a second-class apprentice.
While waiting, Leylin looked around boredly.
Although the flow of people in the task area is much less than before, the number of tasks on the wall has not decreased but increased, and the rewards have increased significantly. According to Leylin's estimation, these tasks, when the difficulty is the same as before, The task reward has almost doubled! ! !
This obviously abnormal scene made Leylin's eyes flash.
"Ley...Leylin!!!" A voice sounded behind Leylin, low and hoarse.
Leylin turned his head, and saw a bloated human figure whose whole body was wrapped in black veil, and there was a stench like a sewer coming directly from it.
"You are... Nisi!!!" Leylin's eyes widened.
He was naturally impressed by this image, and it was also recorded in the chip.
"You still remember me!" There was a hint of excitement in Nisi's voice, and at the same time, a wave of energy leaked out of her body. According to the detection of the chip, she actually had the rank of a second-class apprentice.
