The Rise of the Cemetery

Mr. Bernie did not rush to call in the next mage, but repeatedly pondered the description of the female mage, and turned to wait for the judgment of Grand Master Brady.

After a long time, Grand Master Brady finally spoke.

"Is this Master Li Xun's true identity still unclear?"

"No. He is a candidate recommended by the Thieves Guild. No one was optimistic about him. After all, a wizard who has just advanced to level 11 wants to participate in this kind of competition. It has never been in history. When he enters the ranking. After the game, we launched an investigation into him, and his identity is doubtful! "

A senior wizard present here snorted coldly: "It's not just that there are so many doubts! If you scrutinize carefully, the information about his origin can be said to have no credibility."

"Yeah, yeah." Another high-level mage interfaced: "His high-level mage was identified in Chibala 3 months ago, level 11. The last time he was identified was in Novis Principality, level 6, about a year and a half ago ... "

A huge "buzz" sounded immediately in the hall, and various doubts, puzzles, and speculations came out one after another, turning the solemn inquiry conference into a tumultuous food court.

Grand Master Brady tapped the table lightly, and the messy noise disappeared instantly.

"What's the hurry? Today is the first day of their arrival. No matter what origin he concealed, we have enough time to figure it out."

"But Lord Brady, not only is there a problem with the candidate in Dagon, but also our Briland candidate, that sen ..." Bernie's senior mage asked worriedly, but he didn't wait for him to finish his words. It was cut off by the Archmage with his eyes wide open.

"Okay, don't say it! I told you earlier, that person doesn't need you to intervene, do you all have ears of wind?" Brady Grand Master said sharply: "This year's spell contest is destined to be calm, so everyone put it Keep your eyes wide open and watch and listen more. But no one is allowed to act privately without the instructions of the executive department! Even the disciplinary department should ventilate, do n’t poke out any baskets, have you heard? ... "

All the high-level mages sighed in their hearts, and they bowed their heads as they should be. The newly-reproached Master Bernie bowed his head silently and looked stiff and ugly.

"Shout the next one!"

"Yes."

...

Outside the Master Tower.

Several familiar apprentices met for a moment to meet at the Old John's Tavern, and the female apprentice Betty simply refused.

Since she came out of the residence of the high-level mage, her complexion is very bad. She has been thinking about her mind with her head, far from being usually active. However, her companions knew the reason for her, and she was not good at persuading her. She could only make an appointment for the meeting and she would leave, leaving Betty alone on the corner of the street.

There are many pedestrians on the street, seeing the clothes exposed by the female apprentices, all quietly commenting with strange smiles. Although these remarks did not reach Betty's ears, but only by looking at the evasive eyes of lewd men everywhere, they knew they were not saying good things.

Betty tightened her collar, arms around her, her head down, and silently walked to the dreaded hut a few streets away.

As she bowed her head and hurried away, she was getting further and further away from the mage tower, the street began to narrow gradually, and the pedestrians were much rarer. It was already close to the edge of the Master Tower, but Betty didn't mean to stay halfway, still heading down silently.

Although there are many magical cabins in the mage tower, it is also open to mages and apprentices, but the price of 20 gold coins a day is definitely not affordable for ordinary apprentices. Therefore, most apprentices without family support will find a residence outside the mage tower to save the limited money for the study of magic and the collection of magic materials.

The periphery of the Master Tower can be divided into many different areas according to the distance from the Master Tower.

The three ring streets closest to the Master Tower are commercial areas. Most of them are shops such as magic shops, mysterious huts, and knowledge huts. There are also some high-end hotels, taverns, and other entertainment facilities specifically for the group of mages.

On the periphery of the commercial area, there are small villas and exquisite garden houses, where many middle- and low-level mages are permanently settled. As a low-level mage, you can basically afford the magic hut in the mage tower, but for the sake of privacy, there are still many formal mages who choose to buy a house in this area and do some hidden things.

And this residential area is further out, which is a large number of shops and hotels run by ordinary people. This is also the area where the master apprentices come most often. There are not only cheap necessities here, but also magical materials escaping from the black market, as well as their indispensable women, tobacco and alcohol, and money.

However, Betty did not stay in these places, still head down and walked silently, enduring the harsh whistle and the loud inquiry of some drunkards from time to time. Although her dress and the area she was in made her dangerously high, the insignificant white apprentice tunic still protected her well.

After all, this is the world of mages!

A simple robe of apprenticeship also means that it belongs to two different worlds with mortals. Even if the increasing number of scoundrel villains salivated again, they would not dare to invade a master apprentice in the land of the master.

The streets in front of me are already a bit messy and dirty, and even the pedestrians who walk here are also dodge, at first glance are the shadowy characters who are engaged in special occupations.

But that pale white dazzling white robe helped her. A variety of unscrupulous gazes along the way eventually turned into **** gaze, and no one dared to stop her for a public insult and molesting.

Betty still hooked her head, silently turned into a dark alley, and left and right inside, and finally stopped in front of a small wooden house.

The wooden door of the hut was worn and defaced, and a few dim lights showed through some cracks above. It was quiet inside, except for a faintly pungent smell floating in the air, like the smell of special solutions used to infiltrate the bodies of Warcraft in the Magic Lab.

It is now mid-June, and the time is now the brightest day of the day. The sun is warm at noon, but you can stand in front of the wooden house, but you still can't help shivering.

Betty's arms became tighter, and even her bare, fair-skinned arms floated with goose bumps. Knocking lightly on the wooden door, she waited quietly with her arms, her low eyes flashing, showing her restless mood.

The door opened silently.

The darkness behind the door couldn't penetrate even the brightest daylight. The dark shadows were like demonstrations of living creatures with their teeth clawed, but Betty didn't hesitate and went straight in.

The door closed silently again.

This is a closed room. There are no ventilation facilities such as skylights. The room is small and pitiful. Standing at the door, you can see all the corners clearly. There was only an old and dirty wooden table in the house, and a lit candle on the table. There was nothing else besides it.

"You shouldn't be here! Your coming at this time will cause me some unexpected troubles! I hope you have a good enough reason, otherwise ..." A cold and hollow sound wandered around the room, making it impossible for people to distinguish The position of the speaker is even less likely to predict his age, gender and other information based on his voice.

"I saw him!" Betty answered simply and directly.

"What? So fast ... don't move, let me see his message ..."

The tone of the man hidden in the darkness was obviously improved by a few points, and even brought a warm and eagerness, which made the cold female apprentice who was accustomed to him a little surprised.

A spiritual force, colder than words, emerged from the void, and suddenly penetrated into the spiritual sea of ​​female apprentices, swiftly searching for something in it. Soon, the memories left over the past few days are tumbling in the minds of female apprentices, and numerous silhouettes of life fragments and emotional memories are tumbling and alternately flooding my mind.

The picture in my mind quickly freezes at the moment when Li Xun's mental coercion blew out an hour ago. Although such a long time had passed, the fear and fright from the bottom of my heart still tortured the female apprentice, and filled her heart with anguish and anxiety.

"Yes, it is indeed him! Ha ha, young little guy, we meet again!" The first sentence is still to himself, but the latter sentence has become a kind of abnormal greeting. It was just the cold blood in the tone that made Betty, who heard the words, once again fought a cold war, full of impulse to escape from here immediately.

Of course, as the picture of the young mage emerges, there are some memorable life scenes of Betty the other day. She begged hard in front of an old middle-level mage, and the ugly face of the middle-level mage was full of wicked smiles; she was lying on a gorgeous big bed, a lean and dry ugly The figure was shaking desperately on her ...

There is no sound and no movement in the picture, but the tears of the female apprentice quietly falling from the corner of the eye can attract all the minds of the viewer.

It is impossible for an ordinary female apprentice without any background to obtain the advantages and disadvantages of directly contacting the high-level mages without paying a little bit of effort. Perhaps only by seeing this picture can one intuitively feel the attachment and sorrow of a magic martyr, of course, it is more kind of sad.

After a long time, the cold and relentless voice sounded again, but it was covered with tremors in any case.

"You did a good job. Your reward is on the table. You can leave. Remember to contact the young high-level mage more, but you must not let him see your anomalies. He is also a psychic spirit. You guys, you have to be extra careful. If you do this well, you will be free! "

As the voice disappeared, an open purse suddenly appeared on the table. The bright gold coins inside illuminated the female apprentice's eyes and the dark room.

1000 gold coins!

This is enough to allow female apprentices to easily spend the huge income of the first half of the year in the Master Tower, but it is only enough to consume 3-5 magic experiments.

Betty silently put the purse in her arms and clamped it tightly in front of her chest with her arms. Perhaps only these rumbling gold coins could bring a hint of warmth to her dry and murky heart.

The female apprentice turned and walked out of the cabin, once again embarking on the way home.
