Holt, who had green hair and looked as gentle and harmless as a plant, smiled and said:
"I never imagined that when we meet again, it will be like this... I'm afraid it will be the last time."
Although his tone was as gentle as ever, for some reason, it had a heavy meaning.
Colin pursed his lips and said:
"Captain Holt, didn't you grab the potion..."
"Yeah." Holt nodded with a gentle expression.
It was precisely because he didn't grab the potion that he didn't want to do what Needham did.
I happened to see Colin again, so I walked up to him and wanted to have a chat with Colin, who also failed to grab the potion.
He stood next to Colin, looked at Needham who was leaning down not far away, and frowned: "That's disgusting..."
"Yes." Colin nodded in agreement.
But my heart is full of mixed feelings.
He deliberately didn't fight for the potion.
Otherwise, with his speed and strength, he would definitely be able to grab a potion.
Even if he continues, he may be able to defeat everyone and become the ultimate survivor.
But this meant nothing to him.
At this point, it is obvious that there is something ghostly about this ritual.
No one knows whether they will die in despair if they survive in the end, or whether they will succeed in becoming a formal wizard with his help, as Wizard Lapp said.
If he continues to follow the established procedures of the ceremony, he doesn't think that he, a senior wizard apprentice, has any ability to escape from the trap set by a formal wizard who has lived for nearly three hundred years.
"Stick to your humanity."
For no reason, Holt suddenly said to him.
...Or maybe he said it to himself.
At this time, the apprentices in the hall were divided into two distinct areas.
The apprentices who grabbed the potion next to the black pillar, and the apprentices who did not grab the potion were standing around.
There are twelve figures in total next to the black pillar, all of them are senior wizard apprentices.
It's all now.
A moment ago, there were several lucky intermediate wizard apprentices.
At this moment, they all turned into split corpses like Needham's mid-level wizard apprentice.
no doubt.
Under Needham's example.
Several senior wizard apprentices, unable to withstand their thirst for life and fear of death, did the same thing as him.
Colin watched them quietly, and suddenly his expression changed slightly.
"Stick to your humanity." He paused, sighed, and repeated what Holt had just said.
In the supersensory field of vision.
The aura of humanity and knowledge that covered the several senior wizard apprentices who later made the same achievements as Needham suddenly became thinner.
What's more, it will directly shatter and dissipate.
Those filthy black spots, which seemed to have been transformed into the most filthy things in the world, were like tired birds returning to their nests, rushing toward the senior apprentice whose humanity and knowledge were shattered.
Suddenly, alienation began.
"No!" The senior wizard apprentice had a look of disbelief on his face, howling miserably and crying.
boom!
The next second, countless attacks fell on him in unison, drowning him.
Before the alienation was complete, the apprentice turned into ashes in an instant.
Colin took back his hand after casting the fireball spell.
This is the tradition of this world.
Alienated and fallen wizards are the common enemy of all wizards.
They either abandoned the humanity they had always adhered to, or they abandoned knowledge and bowed their heads to the gods.
In short,
Everyone gets it and kills it.
The wizards who had not been alienated looked gloomy and uncertain when they saw this.
The wizards around them silently distanced themselves from them.
No one cares whether they are a good person, but they all want the friends around them to be good people.
Or, at least, unwilling to make friends with people who have no boundaries.
Whether it will alienate, whether it will violate the human nature that you insist on, there is no unified standard, it all depends on your own judgment.
Everyone's bottom line is different.
For example, Needham's aura of humanity and knowledge did not change at all before and after he killed the intermediate wizard apprentice.
However, it is worth noting that even if there is no change, his aura is thinner than that of ordinary high-level wizard apprentices.
"Alas..." Holt suddenly shook his head and sighed,
"Teacher Rapp, what exactly does he want to do?"
Colin remained silent.
"It's a pity, Colin, you have just been led by the wizard, and you haven't had time to experience the wonders of the world." Holt suddenly sighed again and patted him on the shoulder.
"I am almost seventy years old this year. For ordinary mortals to live to this age is considered a long life..."
Colin nodded silently and listened carefully.
He knew that this was Holt trying to explain himself.
Death is not scary.
The scary thing is knowing that death is coming but there is nothing you can do about it.
Holt kept talking, talking about many and complicated things, as if he was talking about whatever came to his mind.
"Captain Holt." Colin suddenly said.
"What's wrong?" Holt paused and asked in confusion.
"..."
"nothing……"
Holt didn't pay attention and continued to ramble:
"... There is a kind of hyacinth with a peculiar umbrella shape. When the spring breeze comes, they will take the initiative to fall off and turn into humanoid elves with umbrella-shaped flowers on their heads. They will float far away with the airflow and dig out a flower in the suitable soil.
Bury yourself in a small hole.
Some particularly naughty ones will never be able to take root because they have wasted the opportunity.
But in the next year, it can play freely in the world... until the spring breeze comes again, and its companion grows into a hyacinth in the spring breeze, but it will wither in the gentle spring breeze...
…”
At this time,
"Interesting."
A melodious and melodious voice suddenly broke in.
Colin turned his head slightly.
A woman with a black cat and a gentle temperament like a big sister approached.
"Regana." Colin moved his lips and said hello,
He paused and then said, "Didn't you grab the magic potion too?"
Regina nodded slightly, shook her head again, and chuckled:
"Snatching the potion doesn't mean you can survive, does it?"
Holt next to him was stunned when he heard this, looked at Regina, shook his head and chuckled:
"Too."
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Colin raised his head slightly and crossed the black iron pillar in the middle.
The intermediate apprentice who had been searching for the exit before was still circling the stone wall of the hall, continuing to search.
Several apprentices, like him, joined the search for an exit.
Holt and Regina looked calm.
If this was really a trap set up by the Lapp wizard, how could such a loophole be left?
Facing an official wizard who had lived for nearly three hundred years, they had no power to resist.
Just as the Lapp wizard said at first that this was a ceremony to assist in becoming a formal wizard, they could only choose to believe it.
Perhaps, this is indeed a ceremony to assist the advancement of a formal wizard...
It's just that they can't see that moment anymore.
The stone wall not far to the right,
"Why is there no exit!"
An intermediate apprentice looking for an exit gritted his teeth and roared, magic brewing in his hands.
Whoosh!
A fireball shot towards the gray-white stone wall.
boom.
But it's just in vain.
After the flames dissipated, the stone wall was still gray and white, without any change.
He put down his hands in despair, covered his face, and his roar turned into weak tears.
Holt withdrew his gaze and sighed softly,
"It seems...the journey of life is about to end today."
Although it didn’t take long,
But according to the previous interval, the next blue-green light ball will appear soon.
In the short period of time, they didn't even have much time to express their feelings, let alone looking for a chance to survive.
Regina's lips moved slightly as if she wanted to speak, but in the end she remained silent.
He just slowly took off the collar of the black cat in his arms.
There are apprentices in the distance who are still looking for a chance to survive, and some are silently weeping in despair.
Colin looked at them, his expression becoming more and more silent.
Their fear is not his fear.
Although he seems to have slipped through the ritual, if this is really a trap set by the Lapp wizard.
In the end, the Lapp wizard will inevitably appear.
And although he was let go by the ceremony for unknown reasons,
And he planned to wait for the next punishment to come, pretending to be a corpse, and hiding it from the remaining wizard apprentices.
But he couldn't hide it from the Lapp wizard.
Just when Colin was in a state of mind.
Teng!
The blue-green light group appeared again at the top of the black column.
This time there were only four.
"goodbye."
Holt turned back to him and said, with extremely complicated emotions on his face, including fear, calmness, and love.
Regina on the side put the black cat with the collar off on the ground.
puff!
The next moment, blood mist spurted out from Holt and Regina, forming a dense mist.
Colin didn't speak, he just controlled his body and forced out the blood mist.
The three of them, like several other apprentices, fell heavily in the bright red blood mist.
