Chapter 8 Skeleton War Horse (please read)
When Richard went downstairs wearing a light leather armor, he found that his brother, father and mother were already accompanying a man in black robes holding a crystal ball and a short staff.
The man in black robe has a handsome face and black hair. He looks very young, but his deep eyes make people feel that he has rich experience. His temperament is unique and mysterious. There is a very eye-catching white skull mark on the left chest of the robe. Li Cha guessed that this should represent the school or level to which the man in black robe belonged.
The man in black robe spoke with a slightly feminine voice: "Are you Richard? I am Seles, a wizard from the Ignis School. Your grandfather once saved my life! Your father has already told me about your situation
. , I can accept you as a disciple, but
before setting off, I still want to remind you that the path of a wizard is far more difficult than you think, especially since your qualifications are not very good at the moment. So, Richard,
you It's too late to regret now."
"I don't regret it!" Richard shook his head firmly, seeing that Seles, who should be his grandfather, or even older than his grandfather, is so young.
Richard became more determined to become a wizard. Judging from Seles's appearance, he would be able to live at least a hundred more years.
If you don’t give it a try, your journey through time will be in vain!
When the black-robed wizard Seles heard this, he smiled slightly, as if he had some kind of approval.
"Then let's set off!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Seles began to whisper a spell. At the same time, the fist-sized crystal ball on the top of the short staff in his hand instantly emitted a dazzling green light. After being projected on the ground, a huge inverse pentagram formation appeared directly.
A few seconds later, a tall skeletal war horse emerged from the ground!
The skeletal war horse has a complete frame, showing a warm and jade-like luster. After being summoned by Seles, it actually rubbed against Seles's robe intimately.
There is a circle of green phosphorus fire burning on each of the four bone hooves, and it kicks twice from time to time, followed by a long hiss. The divine horse is abnormal, like a living creature!
This stunned the baron and his family present.
And Richard's mother, the Baroness, almost fainted from fright.
Richard was shocked when he saw it. He had never eaten pork, so he had never seen a pig running!
The skeletal war horse is clearly a necromancer.
The black-robed wizard Seles in front of me is so humble!
But no matter what the relationship is, Richard has already boarded the "thief ship".
While looking at the envy, Richard also secretly wondered when he would reach this level!
By the time Richard came back to his senses, Seles was already sitting on the tall skeletal horse, and stretched out his hand to Richard, "Come up." "
Okay, sir!" Richard jumped up and turned over dexterously. He got on the skeletal horse and sat firmly behind Seles.
The baron stuffed a heavy bag into Richard's arms and said, "Take this."
Richard touched it. Judging from the convex shape of the bag, it was obviously gold dinars. The bag was full, so say nothing. There were also a hundred pieces, and I felt an inexplicable emotion in my heart.
Father as a mountain!
"Hurry up, we are about to set off." Seles waved and greeted Richard's family.
Richard tightly grabbed Seles's clothes, turned to face his family and said, "Father, mother, brother, please take care, I'm leaving!" From the corner of his eye, he seemed to see his room on the second floor. , that familiar figure was also standing by the window watching him.
The scene of parting with family members is always sad!
As the skeletal war horse began to accelerate gradually, its speed increased rapidly after running out of the castle gate.
At first, Richard could still feel the tremors when the skeletal horse ran, but after a while, he couldn't feel it anymore.
Richard was surprised. When he lowered his head, he saw that the skeletal war horse, with its four hoofs burning with green phosphorus fire, was already about twenty or thirty centimeters above the ground.
It turned out to be running in the air, no wonder it was so smooth!
As time passed, the skeletal war horse was like a bolt of lightning, and the sound of wind in Richard's ears became louder and louder. His eyes observed the scenery on both sides, and he flew backwards.
I don’t know how long it took, but the black-robed wizard Seles drove the skeletal horse and slowly slowed down.
Only then could Richard clearly see his surroundings. They had arrived at a dark, foggy forest, with shrubs, vines and weeds covering the ground, and small swamps from time to time.
"Richard, we are arriving soon. Not far ahead is the headquarters of the Ignis School. It is also one of the places with the highest concentration of dark elements in the swamp. It is very suitable for the practice of shadow and undead wizards." "Sludge swamp
? "Mentor, is it said to be the location of a great war more than a thousand years ago, a mud swamp that gradually evolved from an ancient battlefield filled with blood?" Richard asked curiously.
Before that, Richard had seen a description in a troubadour's travel diary about a mud swamp.
"Hey, I didn't expect you to know that. Yes, this place was indeed an ancient battlefield before." Seles turned to look at Richard with approval.
As the two walked and chatted, the environment in front of them became increasingly bad. If the skeleton war horse hadn't known the direction, ordinary people might have fallen into the swamp nearby. From time to time, there would be sharp-toothed crocodiles and other wild animals in the swamps on both sides of the trail, watching the two men eagerly.
Maybe the beast's keen senses noticed that the man in black robe was not easy to mess with, and after following him on the road for a long time, he gave up on his own initiative.
Richard was thinking that it would be best if some wild beasts could attack him secretly, which would allow him to see Seles's fighting power as a necromancer.
Occasionally, there are gray figures that flash past in the gray woods ahead, very fast, like ghosts. If ordinary people see them, they will definitely be frightened.
After a while, the two passed through a gray forest and saw a large pile of rocks.
Black and gray smoke filled the sky, illuminating the entire area like a ghost.
"We're here."
After saying that, Seles took the lead and jumped off the skeleton horse, followed by Richard.
I didn't see Seles doing anything, I just heard the neighing of the skeletal war horse.
On the ground where it was standing, a green five-pointed star formation suddenly appeared, and the entire body of the skeletal war horse began to slowly sink into the ground until it completely disappeared.
Seles walked up to a big stone. Maybe he felt a living being approaching, and the stone suddenly came to life.
For a moment, Richard was shocked!
A big fanged mouth suddenly protruded from the surface of the stone, and shouted loudly in Common Language: "If you want to enter, just give the password or put your hand in and let me lick it!" "Shadow of Ignis!"
Selai Si said in a deep voice.
The fanged mouth suddenly expanded further, forming a hole about three meters in diameter. Seles raised his legs and stepped in.
Richard immediately followed the instructions and entered smoothly.
After entering, Richard discovered that there was a cave inside.
It seemed that the pile of rocks he saw outside should be some kind of illusory witchcraft or blinding magic circle from the school.
As Richard walked and looked around, he discovered that the entire Ignis School occupies a vast area, with endless buildings on the ground, most of which are made of a black-gray marble-like exterior material.
The overall style looks very simple and solemn, and the architectural style is somewhat similar to the Roman style of Richard's previous life, slightly more square.
Richard followed Seles and kept turning left and right, while looking around by himself.
Everything in front of me is so novel.
It is likely that he will live and study here for a long time.
Along the way, I met almost no one, probably because it was already late at night and it would be dawn in a while.
Finally, Richard followed Seles to a two-story building.
The facade of the small building is the same as other buildings of the school, which is made of black and gray marble.
Seles raised his hand and waved lightly, and in an instant, more than a dozen wall lamps in the corridor on the first floor were automatically lit.
"Richard, you go to the second room on the first floor and take a rest. Tomorrow morning, someone will take you to go through the entrance test and related procedures. Go and have a rest." After saying that, Seles went up to the second floor
.
"Okay, mentor." Richard leaned forward slightly to greet him.
Even before he came, he had anticipated the situations he might encounter in the dark wizard school, such as the instructor's eccentric personality, indifference, or tyranny, etc.
But for now, the instructor in front of me is considered very good.
Judging from Richard's past life experience, he felt that Seles was not the kind of tyrannical undead wizard, but the kind of wizard who was obsessed with his own research.
The other person's expression is indifferent and he is not good at talking. It may just be because he doesn't want to pay much attention to people or things that have nothing to do with the research.
