Two days ago, a warship with huge white sails cut through the white waves like a long sword, sailing from east to west. After leaving the Beyeland blockade fleet offshore, it quickly headed west along the coastline. This is a brand new and beautiful ship.
The three-masted battleship, with the words "Burn Hill" on the stern clearly visible amidst the splashing white foam.
In the early morning, the Birrenhill arrived in the sea 4 nautical miles northeast of the town of Medini. She did not continue to move forward, but dropped several carriages, knights and cavalry in a secluded bay on the shore.
The captain was a very beautiful young woman. She had long, lustrous black hair, a straight uniform, and a belt tightly tied around her slim waist. Her slim lines were as charming as the arc of the battleship. She watched the knights and
The convoy left, and the entire ship was immediately ordered to put away the excess sails, cables, timbers and rigging. The mast was tied and fixed with iron nets, and sandbags were placed on the outside of the bridge and gun emplacements.
After completing this series of tasks, the captain ordered the correspondent to use the echo node to contact the knights who landed ashore.
Soon, she received a reply: "It's calm in Medini today."
The best Higher School of Magic in Odessa is just a few nautical miles away. It is the largest and most advanced magic research institution in the North. It is said that the cult's memorial ceremony that occurred in Odessa not long ago summoned a terrifying existence, a certain
A god that existed in ancient times. His terrifying aura that made people unable to escape entered the world for a short time. Although the memorial ceremony was quickly destroyed after that, the ancient god still left a legacy of his own in this world.
His mark.
Since that day, liars have been running rampant, performing magic that they couldn't do before; lunatics have naked carnivals, going crazy in weird and all kinds of hysterics; sensitive artists have been awakened by nightmares for several days in a row, creating indescribable things.
Twisted works.
Some spellcasters and many extraordinary people find themselves becoming more powerful. Although they don't know why, the use of abilities has become easier and more successful than before, and the effects are more significant.
Mystery, has been enhanced.
Many subtle clues point to a place. The big guys avoid talking about it, but the exchange of eyes and the hints of words indicate that they all know it.
In the town of Medini, two days away from Odessa, there may be something ominous and impossible to ignore. Maybe one day, the sprouts growing there will grow into a dense forest and wrap up the entire world.
A certain knight happened to take a squadron of cavalry and many cannons aboard Beyeland's state-of-the-art Birrenhild for military purposes. He suggested that this experimental ship had some minor problems that could be corrected, and suggested finding a suitable time on the way back.
The town of Medini seemed very suitable for us to stop for maintenance and purchase some food to improve the crew's diet.
To such a reasonable request, the considerate captain immediately agreed.
She didn't even report it to the fleet, but just recorded this seemingly insignificant incident in the voyage record. After all, it was not war time, and her passengers wanted to disembark and relax, and the trip was not delayed, so why should she refuse?
What about the request of a prestigious knight?
The cliffs of the town of Medini are invisible, and lights will be lit there at night. Psychic signals in the Echo Node come and go frequently. It will be a cloudy night tonight, and the moon is hidden in the clouds. What will happen if you wait?
, if you need to leave in a hurry, it will probably be an uneventful voyage.
…
While the Birren Hill was moored, the trip of Metini teachers and students was also proceeding in an orderly manner.
For the sake of peace and justice, to protect the fire of human civilization from the elusive ancient gods, and to defend the light of hope for advanced spell research, the top academic and academic disciplines of the Medini School of Magic, including Professor Lafayette,
The research team will all be relocated to the territory of Bijalan, as one of the many resources taken over by the Bijalan Senate and the Arcane Council.
For the same reason, according to the series of agreements just reached between Odessa and Beyelan, before the conspiracy of the ancient gods is discovered and appropriate countermeasures are found, the heirs of the most famous nobles and wizard families in Odessa must
After completing your studies in Beyeland and receiving protection, you must not leave your homework behind.
In order to demonstrate the rationality of the above request, Beyeland officials kindly drew the attention of Odessa to the fact that a powerful Beyeland fleet was anchored outside the port of Odessa, and the army commanded by Count Larmore was also stationed in the city.
; In addition, Odessa is very close to Beyeland. It takes five days or at most seven days to sail by sea.
Throughout the day on December 16, hundreds of young nobles and young wizards boarded several beautifully decorated sailboats in the port. The sailboats raised their sails and headed south under the escort of the Bayeran warship.
Those who had not yet set off looked at the port from the tower of the Medini High School of Magic and sighed sadly. An older professor looked at them, reluctant and helpless. His teaching assistant looked through the schedule and reported
:
"Students heading to Bayerland University and the School of Engineering have already departed, and students and facilities transferring to Homemon Watts will be leaving soon."
Although Metini is one of the best higher magic schools in the world, not inferior to Homemon Watts, it is too close to Odessa and no one knows what will happen next. Considerate Beyeland
The Senate insists that some young people go to the jurisdiction of Beyeland for protection. If Odessa disagrees, it will be irresponsible to the young people and will cause trouble with Beyeland, as well as the future and hope of mankind.
, we can only let the Beyelan soldiers come and reason with them.
Among these young people who were sent to Homemonworth were Neferti and her brother, and many famous professors were also on the transfer list. They took their families and servants with them, looking at the sea beyond their sight.
On one side, they complained softly together while waiting. The worries and sorrow of parting seemed to be shrouded in thin clouds, and even the newly born child cried loudly.
The bursts of crying were so disturbing that the professor told his wife to calm the child. However, no matter how hard the young mother and the maid tried, the child just kept crying.
"Stop crying," the young mother was also upset by the crying and shouted loudly to her child, "Griffith is here, Griffith is coming to arrest you!"
"hiss--!"
The professors and nobles who were whispering on the side suddenly took a breath of cold air, raised their heads and looked around in surprise. The crying child stopped crying, and the surroundings became extremely quiet.
Neferty trembled slightly. Everyone had heard of this name. A very real picture that seemed to have been seen with her own eyes occupied her brain - a blood-soaked knight riding a terrifying skeletal horse, from
A ground of broken flesh and blood was stepped out of the screaming living people. He was running fast on the endless flesh and blood. Everyone, including Neferti, was running away in panic. Many people were like withered flowers.
Withered and dispersed by the wind, the brutal knights and terrifying horse hooves even stepped towards the girl who had nowhere to escape.
"Ugh——!" Neferti hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, but the pearly tears couldn't help but fly out of her eyes. This scene was engraved in her mind, too real and terrifying, and it made her
I was so scared that I cried.
I heard that every time this terrifying knight appears, he is accompanied by wails and dead bones. He is the embodiment of desolation and chaos, and there is an unspeakable existence hidden behind it. During the days when he was conceiving plots and preparing for killings, he hid in ferocious towers and deep caves.
In the crypt, he let out a cruel and wanton smile, running ulterior evil deeds.
What's even more frightening is that he also has some legends that make girls blush and their hearts beat. Any girl who is targeted by him will be caught in the devil's cave and hidden in the closet.
The white sails on the sea are like messengers announcing tragedy in hell. They float there coldly, waiting for frightened travelers to enter their dark and filthy lair.
"I don't want to go," the girl lowered her eyes, with a hint of resistance in her meek voice, "Naila, I don't want to go."
She closed the book and looked at the figure waiting at the pier down the hillside: "Everyone in the college who was selected to be an exchange student came from a prestigious family. Once we landed on the land of Beyeland, we became
The lambs they raised.
"If our family and motherland do anything that dissatisfies them, their lives will be taken away by them at any time, and even, even..."
Neferty blushed as she spoke, and her whispers turned into whispers. She didn't want to go, but she had no choice. The chaotic and evil terrorist killer lived in Homemonworth, using mysterious and terrifying abilities to brutalize him.
The tyrannical, mean, greedy and ugly prince serves.
As dusk approached, most of the long-distance travelers had already left by boat, and the Beyeland warship responsible for the escort mission was also missing. The last fast ship to Beyeland would not be able to load all the personnel until after dinner.
and supplies, and the Beyelan warship serving as a guard has not yet arrived.
The brother urged the servants to send their luggage to the check-in area, and led the restless sister along the newly familiar deep corridor to the lobby, preparing to board the ship after some time. They met many strangers along the way.
Faces. As the day of farewell approached, scenes of farewell were everywhere in the college. Families of exchange students came here to say goodbye to them, bringing painters to leave portraits. Servants were busy packing their luggage, and even many people from the town came here to say goodbye.
Nobles and commoners took advantage of the chaos to sneak in and poke around.
At this time, school rules are almost useless.
They walked through the high corridor and saw that the "Tila Door", the secret vault of the college deep in the garden, had also been opened. The professor was leading the school workers to carry some supplies out and put them on a carriage to transport them away. It is said that there
It manages and seals the most dangerous things. It is usually guarded by extraordinary wizards led by full-time wizards, and students are absolutely not allowed to get close.
This hurried scene once again aroused the girl's worries about parting.
At this time, Naila seemed to be attracted by something, so she turned around and walked over. Neferti followed him without knowing why, and saw a young man and woman not far ahead, looking at the secret room.
Direction. The girl's eyes are violet, her temperament is elegant and refined, as pure as a nun, and as noble and firm as a flower on the high mountain. Such a temperament is rare in Medini. The men around her are only sixteen or seventeen years old.
Year old, he has a good appearance, is tall and powerful, but he is tough and has a bit of a ferocious and decisive aura.
Neferty felt that she understood something, and could not help but scold her brother softly: "How long has it been, and you still have the heart to care about this? If you leave Odessa, you will never meet her again. Moreover, the person next to her
Bit, is he your boyfriend?"
Without waiting for her sister to stop her, Naila straightened her robe and walked towards the girl with violet eyes.
"Hey, hello, I'm Naila, Naila von Kwaimantha, your eyes are so beautiful, are you from Byerland?"
Ah——! Naira, are you crazy? How could you talk to a girl you just met like this? It’s so rude! Neferty almost jumped up in shock.
The girl who was looking around obviously hesitated for a moment. She blinked her big eyes and hesitated a little, but she quickly picked up her smile and said, "Hello, I'm Lanzada, and this is Desai."
"Oh - what a nice name!" Naila lowered her eyes and bowed gracefully, "Are you here to visit?"
"Thank you, we want to visit the library of Medini." The girl with violet eyes replied. The boy beside her stood up straight with his hands behind his back, and smiled stiffly at the twin brother and sister in front of him.
Naila immediately became energetic: "The library... is in that direction. There is the best occult literature in the North. I will take you there!"
