Wizard of science

"Witch...Wizard?!" Everyone couldn't help shouting as they looked at the wizard that the black crow had turned into.

"It's a wizard." A tall and thin male wizard stood up and responded. There was a heart-shaped obsidian inlaid between his eyebrows, like an alien third eye.

"You can call me Lord Thorin. My companions and I are wizards, and our duty is to guard the outer areas of Dark Heart Academy." The male wizard said, glancing at everyone, "Okay, that's the end of self-introduction, now it's your turn You haven’t answered my question yet, why are you here and where are you from?”

"We..." Everyone hesitated, and finally a black-haired girl stood up and answered the question.

Li He glanced at it and recognized it. It was the girl who won the bloody fight with the wizard skeleton on the first day in the second round. Unexpectedly, the other girl survived until the end. Considering the ability and execution of the opponent's decisive move, it's not too surprising.

If I remember correctly, the other party seems to be called... Lilith... Li He thought in his heart.

Lilith took a deep breath, looked at the wizard Thorin, and told: "Sir, we are all from another continent across the sea. We originally boarded a big ship called the Conch to go to the White Fang Tower. The Demon Heart Wizard of the Tower was responsible for the safety of the voyage, but was attacked by the Shadow Academy on the way..."

After Lilith finished telling the story, the three wizards understood everything that happened from the perspective of ordinary students.

"Another continent across the sea? White Fang Tower? Shadow Academy? Natural disaster? Damage to the ship?" After listening to Lilith's story, Thorin nodded slightly, "Is that so? I thought it was because I didn't know. Where do these fugitives come from? They are so hungry that our Dark Heart Academy catches wizards to fill their stomachs."

As he spoke, Torin glanced at the fat boy with triangular eyes who had previously threatened to eat crows to satisfy his hunger.

The other party was so frightened that his neck shrank.

Fortunately, Tuolin didn't care. He glanced away and said to everyone: "Okay, I finally know where you are coming from. So the question is, where are you going to go next? This is the territory of Dark Heart Academy. , if you want to go to the Academy of Shadows, you have to walk north for at least a month, and if you want to go to the White Fang Tower, you have to walk another month."

"This..." After hearing this, everyone's eyes flickered. They definitely don't want to join the Shadow Academy, and the White Fang Tower can barely accept it, but considering that it takes two months to reach it, it is no different from committing suicide. The demonic creature that suddenly appeared in the woods just now has taught them a lesson - this There are dangers everywhere in the Wizarding Continent.

Now the group of people set out hungry, thirsty and tired, fearing that they would be annihilated if they could not survive for three days.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Torin laughed: "Why, you don't want to go to Shadow Academy or White Fang Tower, do you? Well, it is indeed a bit far. Then if you are willing, our Dark Heart Academy doesn't mind. We will temporarily accept you as the new students - if you can successfully pass the entrance test. Although the recruitment of freshmen for this year has ended, the semester has not started yet, so you can still catch up."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up and they responded one after another.

For them, they don't want to go to Shadow Academy and they can't go to White Fang Tower. Joining Dark Heart Academy now is undoubtedly the best and only choice.

There was also a smile on Torin's face. No matter which wizard organization he belonged to, he didn't mind having more wizard apprentices. Now, for him, he has picked up dozens of talented students for free. As long as they are safely delivered to the academy, they will definitely be rewarded, which is a nice surprise.

Without any hesitation, Torin said: "Since you agree, let's get ready to go to the academy station immediately. The journey is a bit far, so let's get on the boat first."

As he spoke, Thorin walked towards the harbor in the harbor.

The harbor was empty, with no ships.

Just when everyone was confused, Tolin stepped into the water with one foot.

In an instant, a ripple appeared on the water surface of the entire harbor, and then a wave suddenly emerged, centering on Torin's foothold, and spreading out in all directions.

As if a huge boulder had been smashed into the calm lake surface, the water in the entire harbor fluctuated violently.

"Gululu!"

A large number of bubbles emerged from the bottom of the water.

"Wow!"

With a sound, a large area of ​​water broke open, and a slender black wooden boat floated up.

Torin's steps happened to step on the bow of the wooden boat, and he boarded it lightly. He turned to look at the surprised people and said, "Don't be stunned. Everyone, get on the boat. We still have a long way to go."

Everyone woke up from a dream and quickly rushed to the black ship that emerged from the bottom of the water.

The two wizards, except Thorin, twisted their bodies and transformed into crows again, soared into the sky and flew inland in advance.

…

Half a month later.

The group of people on the black boat went up the river and landed at a new port. They walked deeper into the mainland for several days and entered the continuous mountainous area.

In front of a sharp black mountain, the wizard Thorin who was leading the way stopped, pointed to the front and said to everyone: "I will send it here. Next is the core area of ​​the college. Generally there will be no If there is any danger, just go there by yourself. Keep going forward and you will meet the college's reception staff, and they will arrange everything for you."

"Lord Thorin, can't you send us to the academy?" After this period of contact, one student asked boldly as they all knew about Thorin's gentle temperament.

Torin shook his head slightly after hearing this: "I am the wizard responsible for peripheral security. I cannot return to the academy casually during the mission. Sending you here is already the limit. Don't worry, Dark Heart Academy is not a man-eating monster. Move forward. Just go.

When you enter the academy, it will all depend on your ability and hard work. I hope you little guys can gain some momentum and it will not be in vain for me to send you here. I don’t expect you to be promoted to official wizards in the future, but it would be good if a few more of you can become third-level wizard apprentices. The hospital should give me a good reward by then. "

"Okay, goodbye." After Tuolin finished speaking, he jumped up slightly and turned into a black crow in mid-air. After circling above everyone's heads for a few times, he flew towards the way he came from like an arrow.

Tuolin left. The people who stayed there looked at me and I looked at you, and walked in the direction guided by Tuolin.

Carefully walking through a forest, a dry river appeared in front of him, with a suspension bridge built on the river leading to the other side.

On the other side, right at the foot of the mountain, is an abandoned town. It looks more dilapidated than the buildings in the quiet port before. A large number of houses have collapsed, and there are ruins everywhere.

Everyone walked into the village and stopped in a small abandoned square in the center of the town, looking around in a daze.

Blocked fountains, collapsed statues, cracked ground, blackened dead trees...

"This...is this the Dark Heart Academy?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

"No way?" The others were also a little surprised. This was obviously different from what they thought.
