Chapter 584: Searching for the Eye of the Wind
"Is he a half-elf?" the second-level wizard asked in disbelief.
"Yeah." The third-level wizard nodded.
"Oh my God, because of the disappearance of the elves, are the remaining half-elves already so powerful? If there were a few more half-elves, wouldn't they be able to dominate the country like the elves?" "Don't worry." The third-level wizard whispered
. He said, "These half-elves also bear the curse from the elves, and their number will only become smaller and smaller until they disappear completely." Thinking of the
half-elves who had just left, the third-level wizard sighed silently in his heart, "You You will never know if the half-elf you meet is the last half-elf in the world."
When the wizards behind him were talking about the half-elf who had entered the Borderlands, this amazing wizard had already entered danger. heavy areas.
He raised his hood again, but his appearance changed into that of an ordinary thirty-year-old man.
Surprisingly, it’s Sol’s outstanding senior student, Byron!
Byron is now a first-level wizard.
Not only that, because the head of the Elf King given to him by Thor gave him a little bit of the elf's abilities. Not only can it change its appearance at will, but it also has a strong ability to charm.
It's a pity that Byron still maintains his appearance.
In his opinion, even if he changes his skin, he is still the same person.
The so-called appearance that amazes all living beings is almost as useful as the hands of a mage.
The most satisfying function of this skin is its extremely strong magical power and mental adaptability.
This even gave him the confidence to advance to the second level after he advanced to the first level.
This is the most precious part of the Elf King's head, and it also reflects the rareness of Thor's gift to Byron.
However, Byron no longer has the idea that he owes Thor.
Byron exhaled and looked into the distance, "Where could Thor be?"
...
Just as Byron entered the Borderlands, another person who had briefly interacted with Thor also ushered in a turning point in his life.
Noah, a boy who once helped Thor find the quicksand termite nest, took the initiative to join the hunting team organized by Lord Wind Demon in order to exchange money to treat his sick brother.
This hunting team is a little different from the past. It recruits a large number of ordinary people and promises that as long as they perform well, they will have the opportunity to become wizard apprentices.
After meeting Thor, Noah discovered that not all wizards only stared at a candle in a daze.
It's a pity that Thor doesn't intend to accept him as his apprentice.
Maybe his qualifications are too poor.
But Noah didn't give up completely.
After he moved to a new settlement with his father and younger brother, he had been looking for opportunities to become a wizard's apprentice.
But he didn't expect that the only opportunity he had was to fight for it with his life.
At this time, it happened that his younger brother had a continuous high fever due to radiation sickness, which made him put aside his last worries.
His father and brother once gave him the only chance to live, so today he is willing to give this opportunity to his brother.
From then on, Noah joined the hunting team and left his family who had depended on each other for many years.
However, when he joined the hunting team and stepped into a terrifying area that he had never set foot on before, he realized that he was still naive!
The hunting team will indeed give them the opportunity to become wizard apprentices, but the prerequisite is to survive the "danger detection" operations one after another.
Every ordinary person is a pathfinder. They are required to take a magic potion to temporarily enhance their mental power. Allowing them to perceive secrets they had never discovered before.
It's like becoming a temporary wizard apprentice.
But at the same time, their weak bodies will experience various abnormalities due to the suddenly enhanced mental power.
Noah once saw with his own eyes that a woman who had just taken a spiritual potion suddenly went crazy and tore off all her hair. Then she painfully scratched her scalp until it was bloody and bone-white.
The other wizards saw the woman's reaction, but no one came out to help him. But ordinary people don't know how to save her, and they don't dare to save her.
Afterwards, this dying woman became the first victim before the hunting team set off.
In addition to that woman, there are other people whose appearance has changed to some extent. Only Noah remained unchanged at all.
This immediately attracted the attention of several wizards.
They came over and asked Noah to hold a crystal ball and chew a leaf.
However, after Noah did so, the wizards left in disappointment.
This made Noah a little frustrated. It seemed that he was really not the material to be a wizard's apprentice.
After a few interludes, everyone officially embarked on a hunting trip.
However, ordinary people, including Noah, discovered that perhaps the best ending would be for a woman like that to die the night before departure.
On this day, a group of people traveled through mountains and rivers and came to a woodland.
This is already the fifth woodland they have passed through.
Every time they passed through a forest, their hunter team would leave at least one ordinary person behind.
Noah had no idea what these people were doing. In short, these wizards of Master Wind Demon will let them explore some very dangerous places. And regardless of whether those who go exploring can come back alive, they will not enter the place they just explored, but leave directly.
Along the way, just like the footprints left behind, all they left behind were corpses.
But this time, it was finally Noah's turn to be asked to walk into the forest with a strange and complicated instrument.
Noah's heart, which had been numb along the way, began to beat wildly. He finally had a real sense of dying.
He wanted to escape, but he knew that the four wizards behind him would not give him the slightest chance to escape.
It may also implicate the father and younger brother in the settlement.
Noah swallowed, was pushed by the wizard behind him, and began to move his hands and feet mechanically, moving forward mechanically.
The wind blew the leaves, the chirping of birds and the chirping of insects all turned into a chaotic murmur in his ears.
The huge fear that death could come at any time made Noah's mind confused.
But such chaotic thoughts also allowed him to keep moving forward without stopping.
"Crack-"
The leaves and branches all around sounded together as if they had made an appointment, breaking the usual sounds in the forest.
Noah woke up suddenly and seemed to realize what he was doing.
His feet that were about to step out were hanging in the air, and he raised his eyes cautiously and tremblingly. He suddenly discovered that the trees around him had sprouted a pair of eyes at some point, and like a human being, they slowly bent down their trunks and stretched out their branches. It seems that it wants to capture humans who dare to walk in the forest.
A leaf touched the top of Noah's head.
"Wow -"
Noah, who looked about 14 or 15 years old but was actually less than ten years old, couldn't bear it any longer and screamed out, running wildly.
He no longer cared about the set direction, he only knew to move forward.
"Plop!"
Suddenly, there was something under his feet, tripping Noah down.
His eyes quickly followed the falling body. Because the speed is too fast, there is no time to react and adjust the posture.
However, when Noah fell heavily to the ground, he found that it didn't hurt at all.
He lowered his head and saw a dense mass of gray-white mushrooms beneath him.
These little mushrooms were like soft mattresses that caught Noah.
He held down a mushroom with one hand, propped up his body in confusion, and looked around, only to realize that he had left the forest without knowing when.
Ahead is a downhill slope, and these gray-white mushrooms spread all the way to the bottom of the slope.
Further ahead are a few sparse trees, and behind the trees, there are rows of giant mushrooms three or four meters high.
"How come there are such big mushrooms? There is no such a big pot?"
For some reason, Noah suddenly felt that the fear in his heart had subsided a lot, and he was even in the mood to joke about the mushroom forest in front of him.
I overslept, so I can only write the next chapter at night.
