The young man followed the black-robed wizard and was taken deep into the forest, and then saw a strange sight he had never seen before.
A mysterious world unfolded in front of the boy.
The unknown man in black robe closed a space just by raising his hand.
The young man didn't know much, but he felt that the land under his feet seemed to have been cut off from the forest and became an independent space.
Not only are animals unable to enter, even the wind is blocked.
There was no chirping of birds or the chirping of insects, no scraping of leaves, and the perfect silence made the young man feel a sense of panic in his heart.
He had lived in the village since he was a child, living a life of digging in the soil, so how had he ever experienced such a thing?
Panic was like a tide, one after another, flooding the boy's neck and suffocating him in the next moment.
But even so, he still couldn't struggle because his body was out of control at all.
The fear of death put the young man into a strange state, as if his body and soul were about to separate.
Just when he felt extremely panicked, some mysterious shackles seemed to be unlocked, causing a roar in his mind.
"ah……"
The boy let out a short scream, the sound was so small and soft that only he could hear it.
The fear of death dissipated like the tide, but it still affected the young man's mood.
He was like a frightened little beast, standing trembling in the grass, his face full of despair and fear.
The young man had no idea what he should do and would he lose his life?
"What are you still doing? Come over and work for me immediately!"
When the young man was in a daze, a voice suddenly came from him. It was the black-robed wizard with a cold breath.
"oh!?"
The young man agreed and walked up quickly, his heart already hanging in his throat.
"Sir, what do you want me to do?"
The young man had the courage to ask. He felt that he had to take the initiative in order to alleviate his situation.
You must please this adult so that you can live a better life.
The young man thought of this and tried his best to put on a smile and make himself look very happy.
But behind this forced smile, there was grievance and anxiety hidden, which the black-robed wizard could clearly see.
This is an old fox, and any thoughts of the young man will be easily seen through.
"Clean up the dead grass, make the ground as smooth as possible, and do your job well. If you do a good job, you will be rewarded."
As the black-robed wizard spoke, he lightly stamped his foot, and then saw the surrounding plants wither quickly.
Not only did it turn yellow, but all the moisture was drained out, and its vitality was instantly cut off.
Just like dehydrated vegetables, they are dry and fragile and will break if you break them with force.
Seeing the green plants around him turn into a pile of dead grass in an instant, the young man was really frightened.
"What...what's going on?"
He was a poor young man. He had never seen such a method before, and he was immediately trembling with fear.
However, in order to save his life, the young man gritted his teeth, picked up the tools given by the black-robed wizard, and began to clean up the dry weeds.
During the cleaning process, the young man was also full of doubts.
Such a powerful wizard can make this patch of weeds wither with just a wave of his hand, so why would he have to use an ordinary person like himself to do the work?
Maybe just by stamping your feet, you can accomplish everything.
Although his mind was full of doubts, the young man was not slow in his work. He kept clearing away the weeds with tools, and then concentrated them on the edge area.
Perhaps due to the wizard's methods, the hard trees have become rotten and can be broken easily with tools.
For teenagers, this is naturally a good thing, as it can greatly reduce the intensity of labor.
The work was not as tiring as expected, which made the young man secretly happy, feeling like he was succeeding after being lazy at work.
Although he was very happy in his heart, he still had to pretend to be very hardworking on the outside, because the black-robed wizard was standing not far away.
Those dark eyes seemed to be staring at the boy all the time, as if they could see through people's hearts.
The young man did not dare to be perfunctory and worked harder and harder.
I don't know how much time passed, but the young man suddenly heard a noise and followed it curiously.
The sight that caught his eye scared the young man almost to death.
It turns out that at some point, a skeleton covered in rust appeared in the surrounding woods.
With the smell of decay, he staggered over.
"What's this?"
The boy was so frightened that he trembled all over and subconsciously raised the tools in his hands in an attempt to protect his own safety.
"Don't worry, these are the helpers I have found for you."
The black-robed wizard's voice sounded, causing the panicked young man to be slightly startled, and his heart became increasingly unbelievable.
What can a bunch of dead people's bones do for me?
While he was pondering in his mind, the black-robed wizard raised his hand, and an khaki bone ring flew over.
There were runes on the ring, but the boy didn't recognize them.
"Wearing this ring, you can control these skeletons and make them work according to your orders."
When the black-robed wizard said this, his tone became cold again.
"Work hard for me. If you can't finish the work by tomorrow morning, I will turn you into a skeleton."
The black-robed wizard's tone was cold, as if he meant what he said.
"Don't worry, sir, I will work hard."
The young man was so frightened that he trembled all over and quickly put the ring on his hand. Then a strange feeling arose in his heart.
The skeletons around him seemed to be able to obey his command.
"You guys come here quickly and gather these dead grasses together for me."
"That guy without legs, you are responsible for smoothing out the dirt on the ground and filling in the pits..."
"Those guys with mutilated bodies, please stop crawling around. I will re-piece the bodies and make them look like spiders..."
Worried that he would lose his life, the young man's work attitude became extremely positive. Seeing that the damaged skeleton was affecting work efficiency, he actually modified it himself.
But in the blink of an eye, a bunch of incomplete skeletons were assembled by the young man into a bone monster.
Although the appearance is extremely strange, the work efficiency has been improved, which makes the young man feel very satisfied.
No one has ever taught this young boy such a splicing operation method, but when he was doing it, he acted as if it were a matter of course.
The young man didn't notice that the black-robed wizard next to him had a look of shock in his eyes.
I didn't expect that a young boy from the countryside who was randomly captured due to the needs of the mission would have such a high spiritual talent.
Even the black-robed wizard couldn't understand the ability of splicing skeletons together.
If young people are given the opportunity and can be nurtured well, their future achievements may be limitless.
It's just that the rules of the wizarding world dictate that the young man's training will be extremely difficult. Even if he becomes a wizard apprentice, he will eventually be eliminated due to various reasons.
Just like myself back then, with endless grievances and anger, I was constantly forced to leave the Wizard Tower, and was hunted down by my former classmates.
Thinking of all the past events, the black-robed wizard felt angry.
But this kind of anger only lasted a short time.
The black-robed wizard raised his head and looked at the gloomy sky, with a faint smile on his face.
The ever-expanding vortex and the terrifying cracks all over the sky mean that many things will become history.
The wizarding world is about to completely change...
The black-robed wizard thought of this, and a sign appeared in his hand with mysterious runes on it.
"Number 967325, apply to enter the super mall."
Along with a whisper, the runes on the sign flashed, and a faint light shrouded his body.
"Scan passed, identity confirmed successfully, welcome back to Super Mall!"
