"Duke is dead?" Allen was stunned and quickly asked, "Senior sister! When and how did he die?"
"Shortly after entering the secret realm, something went wrong in his cultivation and he died of returning to his ancestors and becoming a demon."
"The secret realm is isolated from the outside world, and information is not transmitted smoothly, so I only heard about it recently."
"As for Duke's death, is there any hidden secret... I can't say, and you shouldn't ask, just let it go."
Allen listened silently, feeling speechless.
Scenes from when he was studying on the same boat and the scene on Magic Stone Island flashed back in his mind...
Although Duke was not his friend, at least he was his fighting partner.
Now that I hear the news of his death, I can’t help but feel regretful and confused...
However, Duke’s tragic end is not surprising.
Sometimes I think about Duke, in some aspects he is more like a time traveler than him.
To be precise, like the male protagonist in Shuangwen.
Unfortunately, he does not live in a world of cool writing.
The cruel world of warlocks is really unfriendly to people with a "Long Aotian" personality like Duke.
At the same time, Angel is still practicing in a secret realm.
Converted to outside time, two years have passed.
With Angel's talent...
The current level of cultivation has reached at least the early stage of Level 2, right?
Allen secretly guessed.
When Angel comes out of isolation, I don’t know how strong he will be.
By that time, Angel was already eighteen years old.
I am still just a fifteen-year-old boy.
Maybe you will feel strange when we meet again, right?
But it doesn’t matter.
Allen feels that Angel will not change much when he grows up.
At least the height difference between the two cannot be changed.
You can still touch his head and take him to eat delicious food.
I hope that the twisted time inside and outside the secret will not change that innocent friendship.
……
"Alan, something big is going to happen recently, and it may have something to do with you."
In the martial arts study room, Pan Sen had a serious face and a low tone.
"The plague crisis is becoming more and more involved."
"The epidemic is coming fiercely and is spreading to the federal islands."
"Behind the plague outbreaks in various places, there are many signs of animal worship activities."
"This group of crazy cultists are replicating what they did on Magic Stone Island on a large scale."
"While secretly controlling the rats and spreading the plague, at the same time he regards himself as the savior, cures diseases and saves people, and spreads cults among the people."
"The major warlock families cannot tolerate the rampant activities of animal worship."
"The top management has decided to start a full-scale war with the Beast Worship Cult!"
In fact, Allen has heard about this news revealed by his mentor recently and is not surprised at all.
"Mentor, what does the alliance of the major families in the Federation to fight against cults have to do with a little guy like me?" Allen asked doubtfully.
"Silly boy, you haven't thought far enough..."
Pan Sen sighed and smiled bitterly.
"Once the war breaks out, the Warlock Academy will also be involved."
"The children of the aristocratic families in the academy all regard participating in the war as a good opportunity to make contributions and become famous."
"As for civilians like you, they can only serve as pawns on the front line."
"Shedding blood, sweating, and even sacrificing her life to decorate the medals of merit of young ladies from aristocratic families!"
After hearing what the instructor said, Allen felt very uncomfortable.
The world of warlocks ruled by blood aristocrats places great value on martial arts.
The children of noble families receive aristocratic education, which also includes the art of war and strategy.
There are quite a few young masters who think they are born generals and like to go to the battlefield to gain military merit and accumulate capital for promotion.
One general's success and ten thousand bones withered.
Those civilian children who were really pushed to the front line, such as Allen, did not have a good impression of the war.
What's more, he still has an old score to settle with the Beast Worship Cult.
"In the battle on Magic Stone Island, the Beast Worship Cult lost two plague warlocks and also lost a very important statue of the Plague God."
Pan Sen walked up to the students and lowered his voice.
"The cultists believe that the Statue of Plague must have been taken away by someone in the investigation team, and the suspect... also includes you."
At the beginning, it was Pan Sen who persuaded Allen to join the Magic Stone Island Investigation Team and win a place to enter the secret realm to practice.
Allen listened to his words and went to Magic Stone Island.
Performed outstandingly in the task of suppressing cult activities.
At the risk of being hunted down by the Beast Worship Cult, the place for practicing in the secret realm that I finally won was taken away by Master Marvin... half-bought and half-robbed.
Pan Sen only learned about this incident afterwards.
For this reason, he felt deeply guilty.
I feel I owe this young disciple.
So as soon as I received the news that the college was about to start a war with the cult, I immediately went to Allen to inform him and let him prepare in advance.
The team that participated in the Magic Stone Island operation at that time consisted of five people.
Andy and Duke are dead.
Pamela and Angel are still practicing in a secret place, safe and worry-free.
Allen is the only one who is most likely to be targeted by cultists.
Once the war starts, Allen will definitely be sent to the front line.
The Beast Worship Cult will definitely focus on him.
As for the academy, they may not be interested in protecting civilians like him.
What's more...
"Alan, Han Ning, the instructor of the Department of Natural Science, do you remember this person?" Pan Sen asked softly.
Allen's heart trembled and he nodded slightly.
Because of the apprenticeship, the winery, and Han Ning's niece Tao Na... Allen has offended this person many times.
Although it is not his fault, but...
"Han Ning is so narrow-minded!"
Pan Sen spoke his mind for the students.
"Han Ning happens to be responsible for selecting the first batch of students to participate in the war."
"Due to various misunderstandings, he seems to hate you very much. If there is a chance to send you as cannon fodder, he will not hesitate!"
"So, I suggest that you quickly take a long leave in the name of performing your mission, quietly leave the college, and find a place in the countryside to avoid the limelight."
"What specific tasks are performed?"
"Don't worry about this, I'll make it up for you!"
"You just said that he, Han Ning, was appointed by the sect to conduct a long-term field investigation. Can he, Han Ning, handle it? Are you not convinced? Let him come to confront me!"
"It won't be too late for you to come back when the academy has completely defeated the animal worshiping cult and it's safe."
"Teacher...please bother me."
Allen was quite touched when he saw his mentor taking the initiative to help him bear the pressure.
Now, there are two roads before him.
First: Accept the instructor’s advice and run away as soon as possible!
Second: Disclose the blood of the Poison Demon, win the attention of the college's top management with your talent, join the aristocratic family, and gain protection.
This second path is actually to reproduce the life trajectories of Angel and Tanya.
Thinking of how my senior sister tolerated the affair between brother and sister Ma Wen, I could only swallow my grievances in my stomach, daring to be angry but not daring to speak...
Thinking of Angel having no dignity in front of Pamela, being shouted around by his fiancée, and being used as a "doormat"...
Thinking of senior sister and Angel, they will be regarded as "tools" to improve their bloodline and have children by the warlock families they are attached to in the future. They have been clearly arranged...
Allen, I hate that kind of life from the bottom of my heart!!
If he refuses to be recruited by aristocratic families, his situation in the academy will probably be like that of Duke, who died in a secret realm without any explanation.
After careful consideration, Allen decided to accept his mentor's suggestion.
Leave the academy secretly for a while and see which way the wind blows.
"Alan! One more thing, tell me honestly, do you know the whereabouts of the evil statue lost by the Beast Worship Cult on Demonic Stone Island?"
Facing the instructor's inquiry, Allen did not hesitate at all.
Open the storage bag directly and take out the Plague Statue.
"Teacher, this statue is left to you, the old man, and it's entirely up to you to deal with it!"
Next, Allen told the instructor without reservation the two special functions of the statue.
By the way, he admitted that he had used the Plague God Statue to purify his animal bloodline to 7%, which is an excellent qualification!
Pan Sen turned his back without even touching the statue.
"Alan! If you are willing to tell the truth, I will feel relieved!"
"My master doesn't have any animal blood, so the statue is useless. You can put it away yourself."
After a brief pause, Pan Sen added cautiously:
"This thing is too dangerous. If you keep it around, it will cause trouble!"
"Alan, you'd better find a secret place to bury the statue of the plague."
"Or just burn it down so that no one will remember it!"
Allen nodded.
The Plague Statue is of no use to him now and should be disposed of properly to avoid getting into trouble.
Pan Sen opened the drawer, took out a pill box, and handed it to Allen.
"Now that you have animal blood, things will be easier to handle."
"There is a bloodline awakening potion here, take it."
"For ordinary warlocks, injecting this potion is equivalent to committing suicide."
"Only warlocks with a shape-shifting bloodline can awaken the first level of 'Disguise' after injection."
"The lycanthrope is a typical shape-shifting creature!"
"The beast-turned-bloodline certainly belongs to the deformation-type bloodline genealogy."
"Alan, when you awaken this spell, you can change your body shape and appearance anytime and anywhere."
"If you are chased by cultists, you can try to escape by disguising yourself."
Finally, Pan Sen did not forget to warn the students.
"Alan, don't think that injections are a good thing!"
"If you hit too much and exceed the endurance limit, your blood will collapse!"
"My mentor...died because of this."
Pan Sen sighed and looked sad.
"Don't worry! I will definitely remember your advice and exercise restraint." Allen said solemnly.
After accepting the injection, Allen said goodbye to his mentor.
Return to your dormitory, pack your luggage, and prepare to run away.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Allen opens the door.
I saw senior sister Tanya standing outside the door.
The pretty face shows reluctance.
It is obvious that he is leaving.
Tanya entered the room and closed the door behind her back.
Asked Allen softly: "Junior brother, what are your plans next?"
"Senior sister, I want to go back to my hometown to visit relatives and live there for a while. What will happen in the future... I haven't decided yet."
Allen told the truth.
"It's good to spend more time with your family."
Tanya sighed and opened her storage bag.
Lift out a heavy bag.
"Ellen, after you leave the academy, it won't be so convenient to get the magic stone."
"I have five hundred non-attribute magic stones here, you take them first."
"When you finish using these, remember to write to me, and my senior sister will try to help you raise funds."
Listening to the senior sister's gentle words, Allen couldn't help but feel a sore nose.
He didn't want to lose his composure in front of his senior sister and expose his vulnerable side, so he forced a joke that was not very funny.
"Sister, you gave me your dowry, what will you do when you get married in the future?"
"Then I won't get married!" Tanya said angrily.
"Senior sister, how about..." Allen blurted out impulsively, "How about you feel aggrieved and just marry me."
"Bah! What a beautiful thought!"
Tanya rolled her eyes at him, with a cute blush on her cheeks.
Allen's heart was burning, and he couldn't help but step forward, grab her delicate hand, and make a bold request.
"Senior sister, we say goodbye, but I don't know when we will see each other again."
"Before we say goodbye... I want to kiss you as a souvenir."
Tanya hesitated.
Biting your lower lip lightly, avoiding his burning gaze.
With her hot cheeks, she took the initiative to approach his lips.
