Chapter 114 Returning to the Academy
"I think you are not bad, so I will remind you a few words here."
Lying on a slate, looking at Adil in front of him, a gray cat raised its foot, and then said, "If it's not necessary, it's best not to go to the southern continent recently."
After saying this, it closed its eyes directly, and its furry body stopped moving, looking like it was about to take a nap.
Quietly looking at the gray kitten in front of him, Adiel stood up slowly, his eyes becoming a little dignified.
"Southern Continent?"
He looked at the kitten in front of him, muttered to himself, and then continued to walk towards the inside of the market.
When he came out again, it was already a few hours later.
"It seems that something really happened at the academy." As he walked on the road, Adiel's face was a little dignified.
Judging from the news I heard in the market, it is very likely that the secret realm has really been blocked by several wizarding organizations.
I don't know what happened in the secret realm. Several participating wizard organizations responded abnormally. Several colleges have announced the closure of the courtyard, and they seem to be preparing something.
"No matter what, I still have to go back to the academy."
When he walked to the place where he tied the horse, various thoughts flashed in Adier's mind: "Although the secret realm is blocked, from the perspective of those wizard organizations just closing the courtyard, it should not be too dangerous for the time being."
"Moreover, the resources for promotion to official wizards are only available in the academy. If you don't go back, you won't find any clues outside."
Standing still, he thought to himself.
After leaving the academy for such a long time, especially after reaching the standard for promotion to a third-class apprentice, he also tried to find those resources to assist promotion, but without exception, there was no news.
The resources of third-class apprentices are still like this, not to mention the resources needed to advance to formal wizards, each of which is monopolized by the wizarding organization, and ordinary wizards have no way to get them.
Adil is seventeen years old this year. If he has not been successfully promoted to a formal wizard before the age of forty, the chance of promotion will become extremely slim.
It was unbearable for him,
So it is necessary to go back to the academy.
"I have now reached the standard for promotion to a third-class apprentice. As long as the resources are in place, I can start promotion at any time."
Standing in the same place, Adil thought in his heart: "I am not yet twenty years old, and I have a fourth-class qualification. In theory, it is very possible that I can become a formal wizard, and I will be trained as a wizard seed by the academy. When the time comes, I will directly You can get a resource to hit the official wizard."
"On the contrary, if I stay outside the academy, even if I can be promoted to a third-class apprentice, the resources required for promotion to a formal wizard are monopolized by those wizard organizations, and it is extremely difficult to find enough resources for promotion. It's just a matter of luck!"
Thinking of this, he suddenly made a decision, rode directly on the horse, and continued to rush in the direction of the academy.
As time passed, Adiel was getting closer and closer to the southern continent where the academy was located.
One morning after a few months, Adil came to a plain.
Coming here, he couldn't help frowning.
Through his keen spirit, he faintly felt that something was wrong. The content of certain negative energy particles in the surrounding space seemed to have risen a lot, and it also had a unique aura that made him feel very uncomfortable.
"The chip, detects the surrounding environment, and compares it with the last record."
In his mind, Adil said to the chip.
In the area in front of him, Adil once walked through the academy several years ago, and the chip in his mind accurately recorded the environment at that time.
"Negative energy particles grow, unknown radiation force fields appear in the air, and long-term exposure can have unknown effects..."
In my mind, the sound of chip machinery sounded.
Hearing the sound of the chip, Adiel frowned a little, then turned around without hesitation, preparing to bypass this area and leave on other roads.
hiss···
At this moment, there was a sudden noise in front of him, with a creepy rhythm, which made Adil's figure who wanted to leave couldn't help but stagnate.
He looked in the direction of the sound, and beside a small stream, a figure two meters long rushed out quickly.
blah...
A burst of light and shadow flickered, and then the sound of flesh and blood being corroded came, accompanied by the sound of the collision of the earth.
Adil stepped off his horse, walked to the front, and looked at the huge figure hit by his spell.
It was a two-meter-long monitor lizard with black scales that looked like it was wearing a layer of armor.
On the head of this monitor lizard, there is a sarcoma, which looks rotten, and there are many small light green bugs crawling on it, which looks a little disgusting.
"Contamination species?" After looking at the monitor lizard in front of him and making a rough inspection, Adil couldn't help frowning.
The so-called contamination species refers to an individual that is affected by various radiation contamination by wizards, and often produces some kind of mutation.
This is the case with the monitor lizard in front of him. According to Adil's observation, this monitor lizard was obviously not what it is now, but it finally mutated and became what it is now.
"Is it because of the radiation effect here?"
Looking at the monitor lizard in front of him and feeling the inexplicable force field around him, Adil thought to himself.
After a while, he mounted his horse again and walked quickly in the other direction.
Time began to pass slowly.
A month later, in the distance, the shadow of Uraldo Academy was faintly visible.
"Kid, stop!" A low, hoarse voice sounded in his ears.
Walking to a huge iron gate, a black crow was standing on the iron gate, with a pair of pure black eyes staring at Adil.
Just at this moment, Adil felt a little stinging pain in front of him, and was stabbed by an extremely strong mental force.
Immediately, Adier froze in his heart, and did not dare to look up and continue to look into the other's eyes, but directly took out a black ring on his right hand.
"Sir, this is my mission certificate."
He lowered his head and said to the black crow standing on the iron gate in front of him.
After saying this, his hand lightened, and the black ring that was originally on his hand disappeared in an instant, floating in front of the other party.
"Yes, it is indeed our academy's mission certificate."
Looking at the black ring in front of him, the crow nodded: "You are lucky, if you come back a few days later, the academy will be completely blocked."
While speaking, the black ring in front of him rushed towards Adil and quietly landed in his hands.
bang...
With a soft sound, the huge iron gate in front of him slowly opened, revealing the scene behind him.
"Thank you sir."
Seeing the door open in front of him, Adil thanked the crow, and then hurriedly led the horse forward.
After entering the academy, there were significantly fewer apprentices around.
Adil noticed that the ordinary servants who used to handle chores in the academy had all disappeared at this time, and it was obvious that they had not been replaced for a long time.
After walking for several hours, Adil walked directly to the underground market.
Apprentices walked by intermittently around, but they were basically first-class apprentices, and second- and third-class apprentices were rarely seen.
Standing on the spot and quietly observing for a while, Adil found that the number of first-class apprentices around him basically did not change much compared to before he left, but the number of high-level apprentices suddenly decreased a lot.
This is because the compulsory recruitment of the academy is only for high-level apprentices, such as first-class apprentices, except that their intelligence and spiritual power are higher than ordinary people, they are not as good as a knight in other aspects. Naturally, there is no need to recruit, so basically all survived.
However, although the Secret Realm Recruitment has ended at this time, the surrounding atmosphere has become more depressed, and it seems that something happened during this time.
Thinking of these things, subconsciously, Adiel wanted to find someone to know the latest news in the academy, so he walked directly to a few familiar places.
The final result surprised him.
In several familiar places around, the apprentices that Adier was familiar with were no longer there at this time. It seemed that they either died in the secret realm or had not returned.
"It seems that I can only go directly to the tutor."
Looking at the first-class apprentices walking around, Adiel thought helplessly.
He walked directly out of this underground market, and after a period of time, he quickly walked to the tower where Edith's mentor was.
Coming here, Adil was relieved that on the gate of the tower in front of him, a rune was quietly lit, and it seemed that the owner inside was still inside.
After hesitating for a while, he walked over directly.
As he walked forward, the familiar tower door detected his breath and automatically opened the door.
"Adil, are you back?"
When I came to the upper floor of the tower, Teacher Edith had already walked to the hall.
She was wearing a white robe, and her wide sleeves swayed down quietly. At this time, she looked at Adil with a little surprise: "When I sensed your breath just now, I almost thought I had hallucinations."
"Teacher Edith, you have no hallucinations."
Looking at Edith in front of him, Adiel smiled: "I'm back."
"At this time, it's better to come back... If it takes a while, even if you want to come back, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back."
Looking at Adil, Edith shook her head and said to him: "A few apprentices under my command, except for you and another person, either died in the secret realm, or lived outside, until now Haven't come back yet."
"What exactly happened?"
Standing in the same place, looking at Edith's appearance, Adiel was a little puzzled: "When I was outside the academy, I heard that the secret realm has now been blocked..."
"It's not just the secret realm. In fact, we have blocked the entire secret realm, including the large tracts of land around the secret realm, with large wizards."
Listening to Adiel's doubts, as if recalling something, Edith's eyes became a little dim, and she said directly. )!!
