Rune Wizard

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

Herrington, Inner City.

The sky was dark, dark clouds kept gathering, and as lightning flashed, pouring rain poured down.

The bean raindrops fell and splashed all around.

At Santaro College, around a dark wellhead, Grove and other apprentices were waiting quietly.

"Is this also the entrance to the lower city?"

Karen looked at the dark well with a trace of thought on her face. The dark lid was buckled on the deep well, and chains spread around it, vaguely exuding the power of runes similar to the seal atmosphere.

Obviously, this is the entrance to the lower city.

Karen is not clear why the academy has such a place, but looking at the traces around the deep well, it seems that a seal has already been arranged.

"There was an experimental accident at the academy."

Beside him, Grove whispered: "Those mutated beasts escaped to the lower city through here. Until now, no one knows what method these monsters used to open the seal."

Karen's eyes flashed and she asked, "Why not completely seal this place?"

In Santaro College, leaving the entrance to the lower city also means that the lower city may come to the upper city from here. Instead of setting up the rune seal, it is better to completely seal the passage.

"not that simple."

Grove shook his head and said solemnly: "Before Herrington was established, the lower city already existed. There are hundreds of roads leading from the upper city to the underground. Even the city government cannot seal all the entrances. die."

"Several entrances left by Santaro College are the intentions of Dean Isaac."

"Master Dean feels that instead of guarding against the lower city day and night, it is better to take the initiative in our own hands. Through the entrance of the academy, we can go to the lower city at any time and attack those gutter rats."

Karen nodded slightly, with a hint of enlightenment on her face.

It turned out that the entrance to the lower city left by the Santaro College was to give the college the ability to take the initiative to attack. Otherwise, even if the place was completely sealed, people in the lower city who wanted to make trouble could still pass through other passages.

What's more, this is Santaro College.

The people in Xiacheng are just arrogant, and they will not choose to come to the upper city here. Therefore, it is those people in Xiacheng who want to completely block the entrance to the academy.

Between the two of them talking, a figure appeared not far away.

"I'm sorry, everyone."

Sabrina, wearing a white robe and a silver pendant, walked towards her with a platinum wand in her hand, and said softly, "I'm late."

All the apprentices saluted.

The level of the Transcendent World is strict, and there is a huge gap between wizards and apprentices. Even if Sabrina's mentor arrives late, no one dares to say anything, not to mention that it is still a few minutes before the gathering time.

Sabrina looked around, counting the number of people on the crusade.

This time, Santaro teamed up with the city government to launch a crusade against the lower city. The college sent a total of six mentors and 300 apprentices. Sabrina led a team of apprentices to take charge of the crusade in the sixth district.

There are about fifty apprentices in the team.

"Very well, since everyone has arrived, let's get ready to go."

After Sabrina counted the number of people, she found that the apprentices had already arrived, so she slammed her wand toward the ground.

Time seems to stand still at this moment.

The raindrops that fell in the sky actually floated in the air, and the invisible magic power spread from Sabrina Wizard and threw it towards the wellhead not far away.

Click!

With the sound of metal colliding, the manhole cover not far away slowly opened, revealing a dark entrance and a passage extending downwards.

"A magic key of some sort?"

Karen pondered, he saw clearly just now that Sabrina's magic power, after being released, formed a key-like energy, which opened the entrance to the deep well leading to the lower city.

"Let's go," Sabrina said softly.

Then, she walked straight to the entrance of the lower city in front, followed by the apprentices. When everyone entered the deep well, Sabrina waved her wand, and the heavy metal manhole cover slowly closed.

Immediately, the surroundings fell into darkness.

"bright!"

Sabrina called out, and a ray of light suddenly bloomed in the air, dispelling the surrounding darkness and making it brighter.

Karen looked around.

Compared to the entrance to the lower city from the outer city, this place is obviously much cleaner. The entrance is a spacious tunnel. There are a lot of incantations on the walls on both sides, and there are also two peculiar statues.

When the crowd came here, the eyes of the two statues were red.

"Password!"

The next moment, an icy voice came, and the two statues were resurrected, blocking everyone's way.

Karen looked away.

One of the two stone statues has wings, fangs and claws, and the other holds a sword and a shield, like a mighty knight.

"Cronados!"

Sabrina spit out a few strange syllables, and the two monsters seemed to have received some kind of special signal, and they moved to the sides one after another, returning to the state of statues.

"These two gargoyles were made by Dean Isaac."

Sabrina smiled and introduced to everyone: "In normal times, they stay here quietly. Once someone tries to break into the academy from here, the gargoyle will resurrect and take action."

Everyone nodded, and several new apprentices showed curious expressions on their faces.

Karen's face was calm, and she quietly used the Protoss to scan the two gargoyles. After getting the data, she was secretly shocked.

These two gargoyles have almost the same data and combat power as first-order professionals.

In the public class of Santaro College, I also talked about the manufacture of puppets. The soul crow and ghoul refined by Karen also belong to the category of puppets, but the manufacturing skills are obviously not as good as these two gargoyles. .

"As expected of the Lord of Santalo!"

Karen's thoughts flickered, and she didn't know what method Dean Isaac used to create these powerful gargoyles.

You know, there are a total of six entrances to the lower city from Santaro College.

If two gargoyles are placed at each entrance, it means that there are twelve gargoyles in the academy, which is equivalent to twelve first-order professionals.

No wonder Santaro is known as the most powerful force in Herrington!

Following Sabrina's footsteps, everyone walked towards the corridor, and the surrounding environment gradually became dilapidated, representing them entering the lower city.

"The place we are assigned this time is the sixth district!"

Next to him, Grove whispered: "If I guessed correctly, the task that the city government gave us is to destroy the lycanthrope camp here."

Gu </span> "Beastman Camp?" Karen thought.

"That's right, it was the camp built by the animalized human who escaped to the lower city during the experimental accident at the college."

Grove nodded and said: "According to reliable information, after those lycanthropes fled to Xiacheng, they have joined together for the pursuit of the other college, and are entangled with the forces of Xiacheng."

Karen's eyes flickered slightly.

He remembered the two lycanthropes he killed before joining Santaro College. If he guessed correctly, they should also be members of the lycanthrope camp.

Some time has passed since the experimental accident at Santaro College.

For this incident, the tutors seem to be reluctant to mention it, and it has almost become the black history of Santaro College.

This time the city government asked for help, and Santaro College immediately agreed.

Among them, there are also reasons for wanting to clean up Xiacheng's beastly human beings. Those alienated experimental products quickly adapted to this place after entering Xiacheng, and even stood firm, and gradually became a sign of Xiacheng's power.

The crowd walked all the way for half an hour.

The corridor finally came to an end, and the environment ahead suddenly became brighter. In the dark and complicated lower city, there was even a building similar to a tower.

"During the mission in the lower city, this is our stronghold."

Sabrina walked to the tower and introduced to the crowd: "The owner here is the college's informant in the lower city."

As Sabrina spoke, a figure walked out of the building in front.

"Oh! Dear Sabrina."

In the dim environment, the human-like figure knelt down in front of Sabrina flatteringly, and said, "It's Kirby's honor to meet you."

Karen looked over and turned on the Protoss scanning function.

Kneeling at Sabrina's feet was a thin man. His skin was gray and disgusting as if covered with scales. His hair and eyebrows had fallen off, and his body had become bony.

"This is... gray phosphorus disease?" Karen frowned slightly.

According to the scan of the Protoss, the figure kneeling at Sabrina's feet was a human male, but the state was extremely weak, and the gray scale-like lines on the skin were a manifestation of gray phosphorus disease.

Decades ago, the city of Herrington suffered an outbreak of gray phosphorus disease.

This disease is highly contagious. After getting the disease, the skin of the whole body turns gray and becomes like scales, and it is extremely afraid of sunlight. Long-term exposure will cause the disease to become more serious.

At that time, the city government spent a lot of energy in order to solve the gray phosphorus disease.

In the end, it was Santaro College who developed a drug to inhibit the spread of gray phosphorus disease, so that the disease did not spread across the city, but when the antidote was developed, several thousand people in Herrington were infected.

Only about two adults were treated.

The remaining gray phosphorus patients can only fend for themselves. In order to prevent them from running around, the city government even built a hospital similar to a prison, but it still cannot stop the gray phosphorus patients' belief in survival.

Due to the fear of sunlight and the arrest of the municipal government, some gray phosphorus patients could only choose to flee to the lower city, while more died of the disease. After three years, the gray phosphorus disease has Just calmed down.

The man in front of him was obviously suffering from gray phosphorus disease.

"Get up, Kirby."

Sabrina said lightly, and then threw out a test tube, which Kirby caught in surprise and stuffed it into his arms.

"Please come with me, Lord Sabrina."

Kirby made a gesture of invitation and walked into the building facing Sabrina, but the apprentices behind him were hesitant.

Apparently, there are many people who recognize the gray phosphorus disease on Kirby.

"What are you afraid of?"

Grove's expression was flat, and he said coldly: "Only ordinary people with weak constitutions are at risk of contracting gray phosphorus disease. Even when the gray phosphorus disease outbreak was the most serious, not a single extraordinary person was infected."

"Didn't you learn in the open class?"

After that, Grove followed in Sabrina's footsteps, and Karen followed closely. As Grove said, only ordinary people can be infected with gray phosphorus disease, and the physique of extraordinary people can be immune to most of them. disease.

Seeing the two witches entering the building, all the apprentices could only keep up.

Coming to this building, Karen looked around and found that it was an abandoned tower with three floors in total. All the rooms were empty. It was obvious that no one had lived here for a long time.

Karen nodded slightly.

It's no wonder that the extraordinary is not afraid of gray phosphorus disease, but the ordinary people in the lower city dare not approach the place where Kirby lives.

"Groff, arrange a room for everyone."

Entering the dilapidated tower, Sabrina didn't dislike it, she just picked a clean room, and then gave Grove an order.

"Assemble in half an hour!"

"Yes, Lord Sabrina."

Grove nodded, and then arranged accommodation for everyone, and Karen was also arranged by Grove next door.

After half an hour, everyone gathered again.

This time, Sabrina introduced the crusade tasks in the sixth district to everyone. As Grove said, they really came to clean up the lycanthropes, and rely on the informants in the lower city. , the location of the lycanthrope camp is already known.

"Now, everyone is divided into a team of five people."

Sabrina looked at everyone and said solemnly: "Each team performs different tasks and gets different rewards."

After all, Sabrina ordered everyone to form a team.

The five-person team system, the apprentices had already understood before going to the lower city, so it took almost no effort to complete the formation of ten teams.

Karen accepts Grove's invitation.

All the members of his team are strong Cameron family members, except for Karen and Grove, the rest are third-level apprentices.

As for other teams, there is definitely no such treatment.

For this crusade mission, the academy recruited all the new apprentices, and many apprentices even mastered one or two runes, and their combat power mainly relies on extraordinary items.

Therefore, this crusade mission is also a test for new apprentices.

"Okay, little guys."

Seeing that everyone had formed the team, Sabrina also said: "If you want to carry out that mission, just apply with me and try to return to the base before it gets dark. Although the lower city is in darkness all the year round, the danger level at night, Still higher than during the day."

Grove stepped forward and accepted the task that had already been decided.

Afterwards, other teams also began to take on missions. This time, the crusade against the lycanthropes in Xiacheng. The sixth area is divided into ten teams. Each team has different goals. people.

As for Grove, the target from beginning to end is the leader of the lycanthrope camp.

According to the known information, it was a first-generation lycanthrope, mixed with the genes of a variety of beasts, and its combat power was comparable to that of a first-order professional. Even Grove was afraid, so he invited Karen to join his team.
