Chapter 384 Old Friend

Chapter 384 Old Friend

At dawn, the bright sunlight shines through the window and into the room, forming a pale golden reflection on the ground.

Not far away, Enzo's eyelids trembled.

As if he felt the dawn coming, the illusory crows hovering around him entered the host body one after another, and Enzo slowly opened his eyes.

"Two months have passed, and the Shadow Corps' training progress has finally reached one-third!"

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Enzo's eyes flickered.

Two months have passed since he started practicing the Shadow Corps. The chips were analyzed day and night, coupled with Enzo's efforts, he finally mastered the first changing form of the Shadow Corps.

"Shadow Armor Form!"

Enzo stood up from the bed and chanted a spell in a low voice. As his thoughts moved, a shadow like black mist spread from his body.

Immediately afterwards, the shadow of the black mist enveloped Enzo's whole body, forming a shadow-like armor.

As a second-level witchcraft, Shadow Corps can have three form changes after it is fully mastered.

The first one is the shadow armor form!

Using shadows to form armor on the surface of the body seems to be a very simple principle, but in fact it involves extremely complex property transformations.

"What a strange feeling!"

Enzo's eyes flickered slightly, and after the shadow armor was worn on his body, it seemed to become a part of his body, similar to his hands and feet.

bass!

As Enzo raised an arm, a shadowy blade like black metal formed on the upper arm, wrapped in black mist.

"Cross sword!"

Enzo groaned in a low voice, and the shadow blade turned into black mist and shattered, then condensed into a jet black cross sword and appeared in his hand.

After using the shadow armor form, Enzo can control the shadow armor at will according to his own will and create weapons that suit him.

And everything created through the shadow armor feels like a part of Enzo's body. This feeling is very strange.

"It's a pity that we don't have a chance now, otherwise we should test the combat effectiveness of the shadow armor form in actual combat."

Then, Enzo shook his head and removed the shadow armor on his body.

"The first form of the Shadow Corps has been mastered, and the second form will follow."

Standing on the spot, Enzo thought with his eyes and said to himself, "The three forms change, corresponding to different combat situations. The use of the shadow armor form is purely to improve my close combat ability."

"As for the second type, it is in the form of a corps!"

"Use shadows to create soldiers to form a shadow corps. This form is very suitable for small-scale wars and gives me the ability to form an army by one person!"

The essence of the second-ring witchcraft Shadow Corps is a witchcraft that controls shadow combat. Among the three transformed forms of this witchcraft, the most famous one is undoubtedly the second corps form.

In history a long time ago, there was a certain wizard who relied on the second transformed form of the Shadow Corps to drive an army of shadow soldiers to destroy a kingdom by himself.

It is precisely because of this that the Shadow Corps became famous in one battle and left a terrifying legend in the secular kingdom.

"In a sense, the second form change of the Shadow Corps is somewhat similar to necromancy."

"However, the essential difference between the two is that the creatures summoned by necromancy witchcraft are all consumables, while the shadow soldiers are derived from the power of the wizard itself. As long as the body is immortal, the shadow soldiers are almost immortal. Immortal state!”

Enzo stroked his chin, his eyes flashed with thoughts.

"However, if you want to master the second transformed form of the Shadow Corps, you first need to create shadow soldiers. But if you just rely on pure shadows to create soldiers, you will only end up with a group of shadow puppets."

"So, if you want to obtain a group of shadow soldiers with wisdom and will, you must inject souls into the shadow soldiers during creation..."

Boom, boom, boom!

Just as Enzo was thinking, there was a sudden knock on the door, which made him frown slightly.

"Come in." Enzo said softly.

The door was then pushed open, and Shirley, the manor's housekeeper, walked in cautiously. Seeing the unhappy expression on Enzo's face, her heart suddenly thumped.

"Didn't I say that you are not allowed to disturb me while I am practicing?" Enzo frowned.

"I'm extremely sorry, Lord Enzo."

Shirley quickly bowed and bowed, explaining, "There is a visitor outside the manor, claiming to be entrusted by your friend to seek help."

"I didn't dare to disturb you while you were practicing, but that person has been here for five days in a row and seemed to have something very important, so I..."

"Someone came to me for help?"

Enzo raised his brows, feeling a little surprised. He had very few friends in the academy, and his interpersonal relationships were pitifully simple.

"Who is the one?"

Thoughts appeared on Enzo's face, and people he knew flashed through his mind, and he murmured: "Friends? Is it Jorah and the others?"

Among the apprentices who once came to the Dark Pole Realm from the overseas islands with him, after more than forty years, there are almost not many left.

Among them, there are only a few people like Jorah, Bourne, and Myrcella who can be considered friends with Enzo.

Myrcella is on an expedition in the forest plane, and it is obviously impossible to seek help from Enzo, so the only people left to come to her are Jorah and Byrne.

"Where is he?" Enzo asked.

"Waiting in the lobby." Shirley replied.

Enzo nodded slightly, and after thinking for a while, he decided to go see her, so he got up and went to the hall, and soon he saw a girl.

It was a thin girl, wearing a new set of gray robes, with a reserved expression on her young face, sitting nervously on the sofa in the hall.

"Newcomers who have been admitted for no more than three years."

Enzo looked at the girl, and there was an extremely weak magic power emitting from her body, only at the level of a first-level apprentice.

Obviously, this is a new apprentice who has just embarked on the wizard's journey.

"This is Lord Enzo."

When they came to the hall, Shirley introduced the girl and said softly, "You can tell me what you have to say now."

The girl stood up quickly and made a very bad etiquette to Enzo.

"Hello...Hello, Lord Enzo."

The girl lowered her head, seemingly extremely nervous, and said, "My name is Ni Lan, and I am a first-level apprentice. Excuse me... Sir Enzo, do you know Bourne?"

"Bourne?"

Enzo nodded slightly and said, "Of course I know him. He is my friend. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Enzo's answer, Ni Lan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"You are a friend of Senior Bourne? That's great!"

Ni Lan raised his head and said excitedly, "Senior Bourne was seriously injured in the mission not long ago and was almost dead. Only you can save him now!"

"Bern is injured? What's going on?" Enzo frowned slightly.

"I don't know the specifics."

Ni Lan shook his head and said, "But Senior Bourne's condition is very serious now. If possible, please go and see him as soon as possible."

"Okay, he's there, I'll go with you now."

Enzo nodded. Listening to Ni Lan, Bourne's condition seemed to be serious, so he decided to go over and take a look immediately.

Ni Lan didn't waste any time, took Enzo and headed towards the college.

"How long has Bourne been injured?"

On the way to the academy, Enzo asked, "What is your relationship with Bourne? Did he ask you to come to me?"

"Senior Bourne has been in a coma since he was injured in the last mission. It has been half a month now." Ni Lan walked in a hurry, but did not forget to answer: "When I first embarked on my journey as a wizard, I was injured. Senior Byrne takes a lot of care of me, so I’m worried about his current condition.”

"Before looking for you, I have thought of many ways, but none of them could wake up Senior Byrne. I heard others said that you and Senior Byrne were from the same overseas island, so I decided to try my luck."

While the two were talking, they had already entered the academy.

Under the leadership of Ni Lan, Enzo soon arrived outside a courtyard. The location was somewhat remote and should be Bourne's residence.

According to the rules of Phantom Crows, newcomers who have just entered the school will generally be arranged to live in the dormitory, while third-level apprentices can apply for a courtyard.

As for the official wizard, after signing a contract with the academy, he will get an independent wizard tower.

However, after experiencing the wars between the three major organizations and the expedition to other worlds, Crow Phantom has ushered in the biggest era of change since its establishment thousands of years ago, so that the rules are no longer so important.

During the war between the three major organizations, the number of members in the academy dropped sharply, and after the Misty Forest was destroyed, the academy rebuilt a larger Misty City. As a result, the Phantom Crows remained sparsely populated for a long time. .

Therefore, as long as there are enough magic stones, even new apprentices can buy a house in Mist City without having to live in a small dormitory.

"plz follow me."

Ni Lan quickly walked into the courtyard, and Enzo followed closely behind. After passing through a courtyard, the two came to a clean room.

"Is this... Bourne?"

As soon as he entered the room, Enzo saw an unconscious figure lying on the bed not far away, exuding a bloody smell.

Enzo took a step forward and looked carefully.

The man lying on the bed looked to be about thirty years old, and Bourne's appearance could be vaguely recognized on his face with his eyes closed.

It's just that at this moment, his body has undergone a lot of mechanical modifications. His left arm, starting from the shoulder, is completely replaced by metal. The object like an energy pile on his chest has been completely extinguished.

But what really put Bourne into a coma was the wound on his abdomen. It looked a bit like the claws of a beast, leaving three long and narrow scars. Even though it had been bandaged with gauze, it still gave off a strong smell of blood. .

"This is……"

Enzo's eyes narrowed, and he stretched out his hand to tear off the gauze from Bourne's abdomen. The hideous wound appeared clearly in front of his eyes, and a trace of blood mist also came out.

"It looks like it's some kind of curse."

A thoughtful expression appeared on Enzo's face. He gently touched Bourne's wound with his fingers and frowned, "If I guess correctly, this curse should be attached to the weapon and extend to the enemy's wound when attacking."

Immediately afterwards, Enzo pinched a trace of the blood mist curse and rubbed it gently with two fingers. As the power of the curse was pinched, the blood mist seemed to turn into a crimson wireworm, twisting ferociously as if it wanted to get in. Inside Enzo.

"So violent?"

An unexpected expression appeared on Enzo's face. He crushed the blood mist curse with two fingers and said with some confusion, "With such a manic curse attached to Bourne's body, if he was only a third-level apprentice, he should have died long ago."

Next to him, Ni Lan had a nervous expression on his face.

"How about it? Can you save Senior Bourne?" Ni Lan bit her lip and asked.

Enzo nodded slightly.

The blood mist curse is the main reason for Bourne's coma. Perhaps for a third-level apprentice, this curse may be fatal, but for Enzo, it is nothing at all.

As a second-level wizard, Enzo has many ways to remove the curse from Bourne's body.

"Get out of the way."

Enzo spoke softly, and Ni Lan quickly stepped back to make some space.

Then, Enzo placed his hand on Bourne's wound.

Following the pull of a magical force, a curse in the form of blood-colored mist emanated from the ferocious wound, and the strands gathered together to form a strange-looking mass of flesh covered with red tentacles.

The tentacled flesh ball was controlled in the palm of his hand and looked extremely violent. It was struggling hard and seemed to want to return to the host's body.

"snort!"

Enzo snorted, and with a gentle squeeze of his hand, black flames burned immediately, swallowing up the tentacled flesh, and then turned into ashes.

The blood mist curse turned into ashes and disappeared, leaving not even a trace.

On the bed, Bourne frowned.

With the curse removed, he showed signs of waking up, but he had been unconscious for so long that it was difficult to open his eyes.

Enzo took out a few potions and ordered Ni Lan to feed Bourne.

After taking several potions into his mouth, a strange feeling spread throughout his body, and then Bourne slowly opened his eyes.

"Ni Lan..."

As soon as he opened his eyes, Bourne saw a nervous Ni Lan and said in a weak voice.

"Wow! Senior Bourne, you finally woke up!"

Seeing that Bourne was awake, Ni Lan's face suddenly became excited and her eyes were full of joy.

"Enzo?"

At this time, Bourne turned his head and saw Enzo beside the bed. A hint of realization suddenly appeared in his eyes and said, "So it was you who saved me?"

Enzo nodded slightly, frowned and said, "What's the matter with your injuries?"

Upon hearing Enzo's question, Bourne lowered his eyes.

"Ni Lan, please go out first." Then, Bourne used the mechanical arm to support his body and ordered Ni Lan next to him.

Ni Lan was a little surprised, but still obediently exited the room and closed the door.

There were only two people left in the room, and Enzo dragged the chair next to him and sat on it.

Bourne leaned on the bed, a trace of pain appeared on his pale face. After a while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Jorah has fallen."

Enzo looked up, a look of surprise on his face.

"Although even now, I still don't want to admit it." Bourne closed his eyes and shook his head. "But the fact is the fact. Jorah has betrayed the academy not long ago and became a fallen wizard!"

"how so?"

Enzo frowned, and suddenly looked at the wound on Bourne's abdomen, and said solemnly, ": Your previous mission was to hunt down Jorah? Was the wound on your body also caused by him?"
