Although there is only one reward this time, this one is enough for Sha De. As for the "Lord in Black Robe" Sha De mentioned in the additional test, it is not unknown that he has the relationship between "teacher and
A god with the title of "God of Inheritors".
This god is not powerful. He is the protector of the inheritors of knowledge, but his faith has spread quite widely. If you look at the relationship between the old gods and the ancient gods, he is undoubtedly the same as the ancient god of knowledge and wisdom [Secret Keeper]
There is a considerable correlation.
"The guardians in gray robes are the guardians of the library and belong to the moon system; the guardians in black robes are the guardians of teachers and belong to the knowledge system."
Although Shade had heard of this god, he didn't know much about him. He could only confirm that he was a good god.
"Then let's see what happens this time."
Thinking in his mind, he took a step forward in the thick fog with some expectation. Then the fog dispersed to both sides, revealing the expected black world.
Shade took a step forward and stepped on the water, and then he fell directly into the extremely cold water:
"There is something wrong with the water. Walking on the water is prohibited here!"
When the boat lifted Shade up, the first thing he noticed was not the towering hundred-meter-high rock walls on both sides of the spacious river, but the swirling ashes that continued to fall from the top of the river valley.
All the lighting here comes from these ashes falling from high altitude. They look like snowflakes and are almost as bright as fireflies. But once the ashes fall into the water, they immediately merge with the black river water and no longer appear.
Glow.
Looking high into the sky, you can't see the source of the ash at all, and the surrounding rock walls are as completely black as the river water, and the ash falling on it will also lose its luminous color:
"This is not like the ashes produced after an object is burned, but rather like petrified powder."
The direction that Shade was facing when he appeared was the upstream of the current. It was not that there was nothing in the water. On the contrary, tables, chairs, benches, broken plaster statues, building debris and other debris came towards him along the current and hit Shade's boat.
Then he continued to drift towards the invisible lower reaches of the river valley.
While Shade was trying to observe the debris floating in the water, there was also an unusual noise under the water. A shadow deeper than darkness flashed under the water, looking like some kind of giant snake, so Shade
He immediately steered the boat upstream and sailed forward.
The tree father always likes to put Shade in relatively dangerous places at the beginning of time adventures, and he is used to this. Therefore, Shade does not want to explore what is lurking under the water. He holds the paddle and stands
At the stern of the boat, I was prepared to be prepared for something to suddenly emerge from the water, but the giant thing underwater did not poke its head, but pressed against the bottom of the boat.
The violent shaking almost caused the boat to roll over, so Shade hurriedly inserted the oar into the water to stabilize the balance. When the oar entered the water, it emitted a faint golden light trace, forcing the underwater shadows to temporarily leave the boat.
But the crisis was not over, because the water was still shaking violently. More and more slender shadows appeared densely around the boat at this time. Fortunately, the destination was not far away. Shade controlled the boat while driving.
Use the paddle to continuously stir the water.
After the boat traveled rapidly for three minutes, Shade used the glowing ash in the sky to realize that the river valley had reached the end of the upper reaches.
The end of the river valley is the source of this broad river. From the gap in the fence of the castle building that stands high on the mountain cliff, the raging water forms a waterfall and pours down, carrying many debris along with it. This forms a big river.
The castle was at least a hundred meters higher than the river below. Under the light of the ashes in the sky, the scene was spectacular. However, when the water fell below, there was no rumbling sound. Only when Shade's boat approached, he heard
It didn't make an ear-splitting sound.
His small wooden boat is not yet capable of going up the waterfall, but fortunately there is a small dock that has been submerged in the water at the bottom of the valley below the waterfall. The dock is connected to the stone steps on the side walls of the valley cliff, and this stone step is almost
Parallel to the flow of the waterfall.
So Shade abandoned the boat and quickly climbed up the stone steps. Realizing that transformation surgery was not prohibited here, the red butterfly almost flew up the steps.
When he finally arrived at the castle on the cliff of the river valley, he discovered that the place where the water rushed out was the gate of the castle, and the stone steps connected it like a small side door.
The water fell from the higher void to the center of the castle, and then broke through the gate and continued to fall into the valley below. This resulted in the castle being almost a vast ocean, although with the help of the illumination of the ashes, several places on the high ground could still be seen.
The upper floors of the building are above the water, but there is no doubt that they have suffered serious damage.
The castles at high altitudes are more densely covered with white ashes, making the feeling of desolation and weirdness more serious.
“Is this the so-called ‘Yishu Academy’?”
The side entrance where Shade was located was on a higher ground and was not flooded by water, but as long as you walked a few steps toward the inside, you would be inundated again.
Shade then looked around again, and saw from a distance that there seemed to be light at the bottom of the tallest spire-style building in the distance. After he took the boat over, he found that it was not a tower, but a huge five-story building with a spire on the top.
architecture.
If this castle was really a school, then judging from the architectural style, it should be an important functional building such as a library or a teaching building.
However, the first and second floors of the building were already submerged in water, and the third floor was already in danger. After Shade maneuvered the boat and continued to approach, he saw that the light of the bonfire appeared on the fourth floor.
The wall was dilapidated, and only the window frames were left. The bright side of the bonfire faced the huge gap in the wall. The gap seemed to have been forcibly knocked out by an external force, so Shade, who came by boat, turned into a swarm of butterflies and flew from the water.
Arrived on the fourth floor.
The fluttering red butterflies indeed attracted the attention of everyone around the campfire. This time, there were four companions, and they were all women. But when Shade, who walked out of the red light, saw the youngest one among them,
When he looked up, he rarely showed complete surprise.
Because the eighteen-year-old girl has long brown hair, heterochromatic eyes and a tough but beautiful face. Although the robe seems to be inappropriate for her, she can still see her youthful beauty.
"Iluna? No, you are Iluna's ancestor? Wait, is your ancestor's bloodline so powerful? He actually looks exactly like you after an era?"
But it is obvious that this is not the ancestor of the Bayas family, this is the Iluna that Shade is most familiar with. The evidence lies in the fact that Iluna, who was originally mentally exhausted, was immediately shocked when she saw Shade flying up from the gap in the wall.
stood up:
"Shadow!"
She wanted to leave the bonfire and walk towards Shade, but she was immediately stopped by the other three girls by the fire. They were all witches, they all looked too young, and they all wore robes similar to the one Iluna wore.
robe.
Although it was the first time for Shade to see this kind of brown robe with a hood, he guessed that it was the uniform of this college.
"Beas, wake up, have you forgotten where this place is? How can you be sure this is the person you know? And this is a man, can't you say this is a man?"
The one holding Iluna's shoulders was the eldest witch among the four, but she seemed to be about the same age as Flora. At the same time, she and Iluna were the only two humans among the four present.
The other two girls stood up by the fire. One of them had dragon wings stretched out behind her. Judging from the shape of her forehead corners and the appearance of her wings, she should be a pure-blooded green dragon, or a dragon-born witch with more than 80% dragon-born blood.
;
Another girl who seems to be introverted is a werewolf. Of course, there is no moon in this weird place, but she still shows her racial characteristics in order to guard against danger, which are furry ears, tail and extremely dangerous claws.
Shade had seen werewolves when he was in Moon Bay, but compared to the elderly Mrs. Frost in Moon Bay, the young werewolf lady obviously had no deterrent effect.
The dragonborn witch and the werewolf looked equally tired. They didn't speak, but they obviously didn't trust Shade either.
Iluna maintained basic caution. Although she roughly believed that this was Shad, she still stopped and observed Shad carefully:
"There may indeed be a monster here with mind-reading and mimicry abilities. The one over there looks like Shad. You have to prove that you are the Shad I know. I will believe you if you take little Mia out."
This is a big problem. The cat won't be born until the next era:
"Iluna, this is my first time here. It's impossible for me to take little Mia on an adventure. Ask some other questions. Don't we have many secrets in common?"
Shade then said that he also agreed to be more cautious, and he also wanted to judge whether Iluna was true through her questions.
"Be careful, I think he is trying to charm you."
The human witch with black hair reminded, while looking at Shade's defensive actions with a stern look, she reminded again:
"And don't forget what else is hidden in this academy. The weird beings here have more or less omniscient abilities. Bayas, don't ask ordinary questions, think carefully about what you should ask."
Although Iluna wanted to take the opportunity to ask Shade "the eye color of your favorite girl", she felt that it would make her look despicable. So after thinking about it, she finally said:
"Listen, my question is:
If you encounter a three-way intersection in the wilderness at night, with a terrifying demon spirit on one side, a man-eating giant on the other, and a "mourning bird" with puzzles ready to embarrass you directly in front of you, then when you can't retreat,
