"I think you are not bad, so I'll remind you a few words here."

Lying on a stone slab, looking at Adier in front of him, a gray cat raised his foot, and then spoke: "If it is not necessary, it is best not to walk to the southern continent soon."

After saying this, it closed its eyes directly, its furry body stopped moving, and it looked like it was preparing to take a nap.

Looking quietly at the gray kitten in front of him, Atir slowly stood up, his eyes becoming a little solemn.

"Is the Southern Continent?"

He looked at the kitten in front of him, murmured to himself, and then continued to walk into the market.

By the time he came out again, it was already a few hours later.

"It seems that something really happened to the academy." Walking on the road, Adier's face was a little solemn.

Judging from the news found in the market, the secret realm may have been blocked by several wizard organizations.

I don’t know what happened in the secret realm, but the reactions of several participating wizard organizations were very abnormal. Several academies have announced that the academy has been closed, and it seems that they are preparing for something.

"No matter what, I still have to go back to the academy."

When he walked to the place where he tied his horse, various thoughts flashed through Atir's mind: "Although the secret realm has been blocked, judging from the fact that those wizard organizations were just blocked, there should not be much danger yet."

"Also, the resources for promotion to formal wizards are only available in the academy. If you don't go back, you will not find any clues outside."

Standing there, he thought to himself.

After leaving the academy for so long, especially after meeting the standards for promotion to third-class apprenticeship, he also tried to find resources outside to assist in promotion, but without exception, there was no news.

The resources for third-class apprentices are still like this, not to mention the resources required to be promoted to a formal wizard. Each of them is controlled and monopolized by the wizard organization, and ordinary wizards cannot get it.

Atir is already seventeen years old this year. If he has not been successfully promoted to a formal wizard before he is forty, the chance of promotion will become extremely slim.

This was something he could not bear, so he had to go back to the academy.

"I have now reached the standard of being promoted to a third-class apprentice. As long as the resources are in place, I can start promotion at any time."

Standing there, Atir thought to himself: "I am not twenty years old yet and have a fourth-class qualification. In theory, it is very likely that I can reach a formal wizard and will be trained by the academy as a seed of a wizard. At that time, I will directly obtain a resource to impact the formal wizard."

"On the contrary, if I stay outside the academy, even if I can be promoted to a third-class apprentice, the resources required to be promoted to a formal wizard are controlled and monopolized by those wizard organizations. It is extremely difficult to find a sufficient amount of resources required for promotion, which is simply a gamble of luck!"

Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision, rode his horse directly, and continued to rush towards the college.

As time gradually passed, Adier was getting closer and closer to the southern continent where the academy was located.

One morning a few months later, Atir came to a plain.

When he came here, he couldn't help but frown.

Through his keen spirit, he vaguely felt something was wrong. The content of some negative energy particles in the surrounding space seemed to have increased a lot, and it also carried a unique atmosphere, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"The chip detects the surrounding environment and compares it with the last record."

In his mind, Atir said to the chip.

The area in front of him was also visited by Atir when he left the academy a few years ago. The chip in his mind accurately recorded the environment at that time.

"Negative energy particles grow, unknown radiation force fields appear in the air, and long-term contact can have unknown effects..."

In my mind, the sound of chip machinery sounded.

Listening to the chip's prompt, Atir frowned a little, then turned around without hesitation, preparing to bypass this area and leave the other roads.

hiss···

At this time, a strange noise suddenly appeared in front of him, with a creepy rhythm, which made Adier's figure who originally wanted to leave stagnate.

He looked in the direction where the sound came, and a figure two meters long rushed out by a stream.

Screw...

A flash of light and shadow flashed, and then the sound of flesh and blood being corroded came, accompanied by the collision of the earth.

Atir walked off his horse, walked forward, and looked at the huge figure who was hit by his spell.

It was a giant lizard two meters long, with black scales, and looked like it was covered with armor.

On the head of this giant lizard, there is a sarcoma that looks rotten, with many light green bugs constantly squirming, making it look a little nauseous.

"Polluted species?" Looking at the giant lizard in front of him and after roughly testing, Atir couldn't help frowning.

The so-called pollution species refers to an individual that is affected by various radiation pollution from wizards, which often produces some kind of mutation.

This is the case with the giant lizard in front of him. According to Atier's observation, the giant lizard was obviously not like this before, but in the end it mutated and became what it is now.

"Is it because of the radiation here?"

Looking at the giant lizard in front of you and feeling the inexplicable force field around you, Adier thought to himself.

After a while, he rode on his horse again and walked quickly in the other direction.

Time begins to pass slowly.

A month later, the shadow of Uraldo Academy was vaguely visible in the distance.

"Boy, stop!" A low and hoarse voice sounded in my ears.

Walking to a huge iron gate, a black crow was standing on the iron gate, and a pair of pure black eyes staring at Adier.

Just at this moment, Atir felt a little stinging in front of him and was stabbed by a strong mental force.

Suddenly, Atir's heart was shocked and he did not dare to look up and continue looking at the other person's eyes. Instead, he took out a black ring wearing his right hand.

"Sir, this is my mission certificate."

He lowered his head and said to the black crow standing on the iron gate ahead.

After saying this, he lightened his hand, and the black ring that was originally placed on his hand disappeared in an instant and floated in front of the other party.

"Yes, it is indeed the mission certificate for our college."

After glanced at the black ring in front of him, the crow nodded: "You are lucky. If you come a few days later, the academy will be completely blocked."

While speaking, the black ring in front of him rushed towards Atir and quietly landed in his hands.

Boom...

With a light sound, the huge iron door in front of him slowly opened, revealing the scene behind him.

"Thank you, sir."

Seeing the door in front of him open, Atir thanked the crow, and then hurriedly led the horse forward.

After entering the academy, there were obviously fewer apprentices around them.

Adier noticed that all the ordinary slaves used to deal with chores in the academy had disappeared at this time, and it was obvious that they had not been replaced for a long time.

After walking for several hours, Atir walked directly to the underground market.

Apprentices walked by intermittently around, but basically all first-class apprentices were first-class apprentices, and few were seen in second-class and third-class apprentices.

Standing there and observing quietly for a while, Atir found that the number of first-class apprentices around him had basically not changed much compared to before he left, but the number of higher-level apprentices suddenly decreased a lot.

This is because the college’s forced recruitment is only targeted at higher apprentices. For example, first-class apprentices, except for their intelligence and mental power higher than ordinary people, are not as good as a knight in other aspects. Naturally, there is no need to recruit, so they basically survived.

However, although the secret realm enrollment has ended at this time, the atmosphere around it has become more depressed, as if something has happened during this period.

Thinking of these things, Adier subconsciously wanted to find someone to learn about the latest news in the academy, so he walked directly to several familiar places.

The final result surprised him a little.

In several familiar places around, the apprentices who were originally familiar to Adier were no longer there at this time. It seemed that they either died in the secret realm or had not come back.

"It seems that I can only go directly to the tutor."

Looking at the first-class apprentices walking by around him, Adier thought helplessly.

He walked out of the underground market directly, and after a period of time, he quickly walked to the high tower where Instructor Edise was.

When he came here, what made Atir breathed a sigh of relief was that a rune was quietly lit up at the gate of the tower in front of him, and it seemed that the owner inside was still inside.

After hesitating for a while, he walked over directly.

As he walked forward, the familiar tower gate detected the breath on his body and automatically opened the door.

"Adier, are you back?"

When he arrived at the upper floor of the tower, Instructor Edise had already walked to the hall.

She was wearing a white robe and her wide sleeves were quietly swaying down. She looked at Adier and was a little surprised: "When I just sensed your breath, I almost thought I had hallucinations."

"Teacher Etis, you have no hallucinations."

Looking at Etis in front of him, Atir smiled on his face: "I'm back."

"It's good to come back at this time... If you want to come back for a while, even if you want to come back, you may not be able to come back."

Looking at Atir, Etis shook his head and shook his head at him, "There are a few apprentices under my command, except you and the other ones, who have either died in the secret realm or been wandering outside, and have not returned yet."

“What exactly happened?”

Standing there, looking at Etis's appearance, Adiel was a little confused: "When I was outside the academy, I heard that the secret realm had been blocked now..."

"It's not just the secret realm, but in fact, we have arranged large wizards to block the entire secret realm, including the large swaggers around the secret realm."

Listening to Atir's doubts, as if he recalled something, Etis's eyes became a little dim and he spoke directly.
