Suddenly hearing the news brought by Ms. Grace, Dean Hoffman's eyebrows jumped. He suppressed the shock in his heart and asked: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, tell me slowly, what is going on?"
Grace came running all the way, panting a little, her neat hair was all messed up. She took a deep breath and started to cast a spell, which was a small recording spell: 'Rubbing.'
"News from the City in the Sky via Magical Carrier Pigeon."
As the light and shadow flashed, clear text was projected on a blank wall in the dean's room, which read: "In the Battle of Horseshoe Fortress, the Dark Legion took the flame demon Afo Dillon as its marshal, and the fifth-level lich Fenisa
, the fifth-level bone dragon Feilon is the adjutant, leading nearly ten thousand abyss war demons, swordsman demons and countless
The army of undead knights, skeleton archers, and ghouls took the initiative to attack the human army in the dark night. A tragic massacre! In the chaos, the leader of the human battle mage group, the six-star magician Evan, burned his life and successfully cast a seventh-level spell.
:The sun shines, turning night into day, forcing the army of darkness to retreat."
Seeing this, Dean Hoffman and Deco both let out a long sigh and looked sad.
They all know Evan, who is a stubborn old man. Compared to academic mages like them who specialize in spells and have a gentle personality, Evan has a fiery personality, profound spells, and extraordinary combat power. He has always been the mainstay of the Sky City. At this time
But it fell, which is really sad.
The three of them continued to watch the battle.
"The solar spell appeared, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly reversed. The Dark Legion retreated. The human race quickly regrouped, led by Marshal Over, the Golden Dragon Rider, pursued from behind, and finally recaptured the Horseshoe Fortress."
What followed was a long battle damage report.
The two six-star magicians looked quickly. A solemn look slowly appeared on their faces.
In this battle, the human race seemed to have won and recaptured the Horseshoe Fortress, but in fact it was a disastrous defeat.
The entire human legion, a coalition of 300,000 people composed of human kingdoms, suffered more than 80,000 battle deaths. Most of them were elites! The most serious losses were the Battle Mage Legion of Sky City, which was raided by the Dark Legion. The leader died in the battle.
On the battlefield, nearly 70% of the members were killed or injured, and they were almost dispersed.
However, the Dark Army has taken the initiative, and its elite has not been lost. It will soon be able to regroup and make a comeback.
As one goes and the other goes, the entire Helm Kingdom is in danger of falling.
After reading the battle report, Hoffman and Deco looked at each other. They both saw fear in each other's eyes.
Deke sighed: "The situation is so serious!"
Dean Hoffman was still deep in thought, and finally asked, "Does Sage Eldrin have anything to say?"
Grace shook her head: "The Sage is not in the Sky City. He has traveled around the world."
"..." Hoffman was depressed. The legendary magician Eldrin was like this. He was away from the Sky City most of the time. It would be great to live in the Sky City for one month in a year, oh no, ten years.
.
Other times, no one knows the trace of this legendary magician, and he seems to have evaporated out of thin air from this world.
Many people rumored that Eldrin went to heaven to attend the banquet of the gods.
Hoffman also knew that a sage could not count on a small fight like that in the Horseshoe Fortress, because it was not noticed at all, and the reason why he asked was just a matter of luck.
After asking, the dean didn't say much. He turned to Deke and said, "This matter is important. I have to go to the Sky City, which may take a long time. I will leave the affairs of the college to you for the time being."
Deco nodded: "You can go with peace of mind."
……….
The top management of the college is worried and has a dark cloud hanging over it. But this has little to do with the students of the college.
Sun Ran and Zhao Shan are still learning magic while waiting for an adventure group to start exploring the Dark Summoning Hall.
The days were very peaceful, and a month passed by in the blink of an eye.
This month, Sun Ran showed a little bit of his 'talent' and successfully mastered two zero-level minor spells.
One is the light technique, which can condense a small light ball as big as the tip of your thumb to illuminate the room. The brightness is a little better than one candle light, but definitely not more than two candle lights.
The other is teleportation, also called the mage's hand. It can move objects at a certain distance. It is a magical skill of stealing!
This result makes Wendy very satisfied. Although it is not outstanding, it is still above the standard. This Russell has good magic talent, but his mouth is a bit too stupid.
But Sun Ran's performance is far from that of Zhao Shan, his nominal sister.
She knows everything Sun Ran knows, and she also has several more zero-level magics, such as Grease, Wind Movement, and Silence, a total of ten!
What's even more amazing is that she also mastered a first-level attack magic: fire bullet.
Fire bomb condenses a fist-sized flame ball to attack the opponent, and its power is equivalent to the black powder bomb that Sun Ran once made.
He learned so many magics in just one and a half months, and almost learned a magic every few days. This kind of speed is unprecedented in Attenborough, and extremely rare in the entire continent. He belongs to an extremely talented person.
In addition, Zhao Shan has an outspoken and almost arrogant personality. She never hides her likes and dislikes and likes to tease people, so she got the nickname "Attenborough's Little Witch".
On this day, Sun Ran was quietly reading a tome called "Elements Fluctuation" in the library as usual.
Although Sun Ran achieved Taoism, he started on the path of Taoism. Now looking at these magic theories, although they are essentially the same, they are observing and describing the world from another angle. In Sun Ran's opinion, it is very
It was somewhat novel and interesting, and he read it with gusto.
As she was watching, a man was sitting next to her holding a book, and then a voice came: "Hey, Menghulu, do you understand this book?"
Sun Ran turned around and took a look. It was Kelly, a rich man who had paid one million credit points and had an unlimited future. A sincere and loyal smile appeared on his face: "I can only understand a little bit."
"I think you should study the book "Basics of Magic" quietly instead of reading such advanced books that you don't understand yet." Kelly kindly persuaded.
"Oh, that one. I've read it all." Sun Ran smiled, then continued reading while holding the book.
After that, Kelly took the initiative to chat a few more words, but every time Sun Ran just responded with a few perfunctory "oh" and "oh".
After a while, Kelly got bored and stopped looking for something to talk about, and just kept reading.
The library became quiet, leaving only the sound of flipping through the pages. Suddenly, there was a sound of rapid footsteps, and then a figure 'rolled' in like the wind, it was Zhao Shan.
She entered the library, looked around, and found Sun Ran. She walked straight over, and when she got close, she pointed at Kelly: "Get up, I want this position."
Kelly secretly pouted, but she still stood up obediently and changed her position. She came to the academy more than a month earlier than Zhao Shan, and she also mastered several zero-level magics, but she was incomparable to the monster Zhao Shan.
After teasing her a few times, she wisely chose to avoid it.
If you can't afford to offend, you can't afford to hide.
Zhao Shan disdained to pay attention to her, and when she gave up her seat, she sat next to Sun Ran. Sitting next to him, she narrowed her eyes and chuckled, and said softly: "A piece of good news."
"Tell me about it."
"I successfully joined the adventure group. They prepared for more than a month, and three days later... they were going to a very fun place."
Sun Ran naturally knew what she meant, which was the Dark Summoning Hall.
A curious look appeared on his face: "A very interesting place? Can I go there?"
"Of course. You are my dearest brother. I told them that if you want to join, we brothers and sisters will join together." Zhao Shan giggled, and then urged: "Let's go, stop looking, I will take you there
Get to know them."
"That's great." Sun Ran couldn't help but snap his fingers, then put the book back on the shelf and left the library with Zhao Shan.
"The gathering place is under the grapevine trellis behind the college castle. It's relatively private." Zhao Shan switched to the sound transmission method.
"How did you join?"
"The members of the expedition group are all recognized geniuses in the college. They are usually loved by the teachers and are spoiled rotten. They are all arrogant. I am also a real genius now, so it is natural for me to join." Zhao Shan said with a look on her face.
Little pride.
The two of them walked forward and soon reached the end of the field.
There were three people waiting here. They were all around seventeen or eighteen years old. They were all prominent figures in the academy and Sun Ran knew them all.
Seeing Sun Ran and the two coming over, one of them, a tall and thin boy with brown hair, came out and said: "Rosna, you know, our adventure group only accepts smart people. He must have at least one outstanding feature, so you have to
Let your brother show his skills."
Zhao Shan put her hands on her hips and raised her head: "Auburn, Matthews, Orlando, just watch with your eyes wide open. My brother is not what the outside world says."
Then she sent a message to Sun Ran: "Show your hand and shock them."
Auburn, the tall and lanky boy, said with a cold face: "I hope so." If Rosna hadn't been so powerful, he wouldn't have wanted to agree to let his brother join today.
He said to Sun Ran: "Well, Russell, show your skills." (To be continued...)
