Chapter 236: The Black Tower Messenger
It was about the same time, outside the annual test area, in the small square on the edge of the Dark Heart Academy.
The six stone gates on the stone wall are constantly emitting energy fluctuations.
On the high platform, stood the six deans of Dark Heart Academy and a group of relatively powerful wizards.
The six deans faced the stone door in front of them, reciting incantations in their mouths, and guided beams of colored light from the inside, which gathered in mid-air and turned into a gorgeous colorful light ball with a diameter of nearly one meter.
The six people squinted at the light ball, as if analyzing something.
Among them, the third dean, Bi Kedong, while looking at the colorful light ball, looked at the pocket watch without hands from time to time, looked at the crystals in the dial that were constantly changing colors, compared them, and for a moment turned to face the second person next to him. Dean Gauss whispered: "Everything is running normally."
"That's good. However, there are too many people eliminated in the early stages of this annual test. The operation of the six stone gates is approaching the load warning line, so we must remain cautious." Gauss said. Looking down at the high platform.
Then, as the six stone gates on the stone wall continued to fluctuate, transparent figures were thrown out from the stone gates. They fell on the ground under the stone platform in some embarrassment, and returned to their normal figures. They were clearly one of the people who had been eliminated. Or a wizard apprentice who voluntarily gave up and quit.
Some people looked uninjured, just a little depressed. Some people were more miserable. Their whole bodies were stained red with blood, their limbs were exaggeratedly twisted, and they screamed constantly. They were obviously seriously injured. Others had skin ulcers all over their bodies, and a large amount of fishy pus flowed out. The smell was extremely fishy. This was because they had been subjected to a vicious curse. Although they left the test area, the effect of the curse was not lifted and continued to work.
Dark Heart Academy obviously has not experienced these situations once or twice. It will be repeated every year. It has accumulated rich experience. There have long been waiting wizards to approach the wizard apprentices in different states to treat and remove curses... ...
The somewhat chaotic scene gradually calmed down, but wizard apprentices kept flying out of the stone door, so the scene was never completely calm.
The third dean, Bi Kedong, followed Gauss's gaze, glanced at the audience, blinked and said: "The number of people eliminated is indeed more than in previous years. It seems that the competition is very fierce, but it's okay, in this year Only through testing can we screen out a batch of relatively good seeds and invest resources to focus on cultivating them. Only then can we hope to pass the test next year smoothly." "I hope so."
Gauss sighed and said nothing more.
At this time, an academy wizard hurriedly walked onto the stage, took a deep breath, and reported: "Dear deans, the people from the Black Tower are here." "The messenger from the Black Tower is here?
" Bi Kedong raised his eyebrows and said in slight surprise. , "This is earlier than usual. Doesn't it usually appear when the test is halfway through or even towards the end?" "
Come early, come late, it will come eventually." Gauss said, his brows furrowed as he spoke. Frowning slightly, he noticed unusual information from the unusual behavior. Especially at a time when the twelve-year period is about to reach, any unusual move may be a display of a certain attitude of the Black Tower.
"Black Tower, Black Tower..." Gauss muttered in a low voice, turned to look at the edge of the high platform, and noticed a strange wizard appearing there out of thin air and walking slowly.
The other party was dressed completely differently from the other wizards. It was not a black robe, but a white robe. The material is also very special. It looks very light, but the surface has a metallic luster. When you walk, the cloth rubs and makes a "shuzzy" sound.
The other party's face was not revealed, and his entire face was hidden deep in his robe and cap, with only a pair of eyes looming in the shadows.
Gauss glanced at the other person and confirmed the other person's identity. He must be someone from the Black Tower, because the aura on his body was very special, different from the wizards in the entire Lan En Cape. The energy fluctuations in the opponent's body are not concealed at all, and are constantly surging, crazy and violent, making people wonder whether they will explode in the next moment. With the arrival of the other party, wisps of black mist emerged in the air around the high platform, blurring the sight of the wizards and apprentices looking towards the high platform, creating a layer of shielding.
Gauss stepped forward to greet him and greeted him in a friendly manner: "Are you the distinguished envoy of the Black Tower? Welcome to Dark Heart Academy. I am Gauss, the second dean of Dark Heart Academy who is currently in charge of daily work. What do you call your envoy? "As he spoke, Gauss took the initiative to extend his hand.
The white-robed wizard who came from the Black Tower glanced at Gauss. He didn't say anything, didn't extend his hand to shake, and didn't express anything. He walked quietly past Gauss.
Gauss's expression froze.
The expressions of the other five deans and the wizards on the high platform could not help but become a little ugly.
But the white-robed wizard didn't seem to care about this at all. He walked past Gauss and walked to the center of the high platform. He glanced at the six stone gates on the stone wall. He waved his hand gently and the six stone gates shook violently. A large amount of colorful light flew out and fell on the white-robed wizard. The wizard kneaded it into a ball the size of a walnut in his hand and stuffed it directly into his mouth under his robe and hat.
After savoring the taste for a long time, the white-robed wizard stepped forward and spoke slowly: "The fragments are well maintained and are running relatively stable at present, but their lifespan is about to end. It can last up to four days as it is now. If there are other changes, it will It's shorter, you can adjust it according to the situation. Continue to take good care of it, and I will recycle it after use."
As he spoke, the white-robed wizard walked up to Gauss.
He turned slightly sideways and said slowly: "As for my name, Dean Gauss, let's wait until you successfully pass the college war next year. Otherwise, there is no point in telling you, right?" "Your envoy is right." Gauss responded
, There was no expression on his face.
"Ha, it seems that Dean Gauss agrees with it. That's good. If I don't have anything else to do, I'll leave now and see you later." The white-robed wizard said. As the words fell, his figure quickly faded, like his whole body. People dissolve in the air and disappear in the blink of an eye.
The surrounding black fog quickly disappeared, and everything returned to normal - except for the mood of everyone on the high platform.
The second dean, Bi Kedong, walked up to Gauss and asked with squinted eyes: "The people in the Black Tower have always been arrogant. We are used to it, but they don't bother to tell us their names. Isn't it a bit too much?" "So, next year's
college War, the Black Tower is not optimistic about us." Gauss said slowly.
"Then..."
"There's no point worrying. First complete this annual test and then prepare well. The situation is indeed bad, but we don't have no chance." "
Yes." Bi Kedong nodded.
"The testing progress is almost complete. The people from the Black Tower have also told us the status of the fragments. We are almost ready to collect statistics and prepare for the second phase of testing." Gauss said.
"Okay." Bi Kedong listened without any nonsense. He took out a short black staff more than thirty centimeters long and as thick as a finger from his pocket, and pointed towards the huge ball of brilliant light condensed in mid-air.
