Shaman from Afar

After five days and nights, Loren arrived at his destination.

This is an ancient castle standing between the hills. The stone wall built on the mountain surrounds the towering tower. Under the blue dome, it seems that it can go straight from the tower into the clouds.

And around the castle, there are some scattered farmland dotted with land. , A small and large village and town is on the only way to the castle, giving the surrounding desolate hills some vitality.

About thirty years ago, a mage named Peter came here from the north. After paying some price, he obtained the ruined castle from the Duke and the surrounding equivalent of the Baron soil of.

“Just ahead, we’re almost there!” The little wizard was very excited, pointing to the golden lonely castle stained with gold in the sunset: “There is Wimpar College, the only wizard in the entire duke. College! “

Looking at Ain’s pride and excitement, Loren could only smile with a slight smile, let the other party enjoy this rare relaxation-a full five-day trip, the little wizard was completely nervous and anxious Those who spend time among them can only relax a little while chatting to the college.

As a person who is good at communication, of course Loren also understands the virtues of listening-but he is better at extracting the information he needs from the other party’s only words.

And the little wizard had great faith in this wandering knight who saved his life, and it also saved Loren a lot of energy, and he didn’t need to let the other party relax his vigilance.

First of all, he figured out that his own experience in that pagan temple was almost impossible in the eyes of a wizard, or at least a wizard apprentice. Ordinary people in this world will have strong discomfort even with only a few touches, or even twitch to the ground directly, but they can be safe and sound.

Is similar to “super power” in the words of the previous life, but the more crucial point is that this is impossible for many wizards-I am afraid that this ability will become the key to whether he can become a wizard.

On the other hand, if it is still a good thing to explain the “superpower” in your body, then many complaints on the other side’s road have confirmed Loren’s guess.

Along the way, the more anxious the little wizard was, the more he could not help talking about the Holy Cross Church, and all were complaints and disgusts that he could not conceal.

Spreading rumors of wizards, crowding out the academy, preventing and hindering the recruitment of apprentices … the list of things big and small. Nowadays, the only wizard college led by the Duke has only eight mentors and dozens of apprentices. Because of the church, it has become difficult to recruit new apprentices.

On the surface, it seems that the church is excluding the wizards, but in fact, Loren has heard many rumors of wizards before, and they are regarded as freaks and tricks … and rumors often determine What people in a certain area think of one thing.

So if my judgment is good, I am afraid that wizards are not very popular here. It’s interesting to have a special knowledge but be rejected.

But everything in the world is not one-way. There must be a reason why wizards will be excluded. People will be willing to believe in the church and the cause of rumors …

Although it seems not far away, when the two people came to the village under the castle, it was already evening. The cold streets were accompanied by bells ringing from time to time, and the castle immersed in the dusk and night not far away was also a little strange and gloomy.

“There is such a legend at Wimpar College.” Probably because the college was close, and the little wizard could not help but start chatting: “The reason why Dean Peter got the castle from the Duke , Because a vampire lives here. “

“Vampire?” Loren asked deliberately with curiosity.

“It’s an extremely long-lived monster, and there are even rumors that they can walk in the void.” Ain continued: “Eating blood, eating day and night, their claws **** steel, body image It’s black smoke. “

“But this monster was defeated by Dean Peter and wiped it out completely.” Speaking of which, Ain couldn’t help laughing himself: “So many people still think that the vampire’s The body is still inside the castle. “

“So … this is just a story, or does it really matter?”

“No one knows, and has never heard the dean mention it.” The little wizard shrugged: “But at least this rumor prevents many people from daring to get around the college-especially those in the church!”

Speaking of this, Ain snorted with relief, and his blond hair curled out of the hood of the robe.

After leaving the village, the two led the horse and continued along the road under their feet. The castle in the dark night became more and more magnificent in the eyes of the two. The little wizard stopped until he reached the gate of the castle, and took a long deep breath.

“I’ll take you to the mentor Dalton Kander later. He is specifically responsible for dealing with things outside the school and is also my mentor.” The little wizard was confused and looked very nervous: “He is a very strict People, you will definitely be asked a lot of questions, so no matter what, please be sure to answer again! “

“Don’t worry, as long as you didn’t mention it, I won’t say a word.” Loren said sincerely, tilting his lips slightly.

The little wizard was relieved and nodded with confidence. Then he swears and said: “But no matter what, I will let him accept you-we are friends, so we should trust each other and work together, this is what you said.”

“This is nature.”

Loren just nodded, and the two heard the sound of the side door of the castle behind him almost at the same time. Ain, who had a premonition, turned around in a panic. The nervous look seemed to have guessed who the person behind the door was. .

Standing behind the door is a middle-aged man wearing a robe similar to Ain. The gray temples and the faint wrinkles are enough to prove that he is a bit old, but still full of spirit.

The smart black robe and the cane clenched in the right hand, and the gloomy look at others’ eyes at any time, made this person cold like a piece of ice.

“Standing in front of the gate of the college, I didn’t walk in, but I was still talking to others about my mentor.” The heavy voice was like a gear turning, and I couldn’t hear the emotion at all: “I don’t know you have this habit. .uukanshu.com “

“Tao, Dalton Kant tutor.” The nervous Ain couldn’t even finish the words and smiled awkwardly: “… good evening.”

“Good evening, apprentice Ein Rand.” Dalton is still ice-like tone: “Fortunately, at least polite.”

Lorron, who was standing next to the little wizard, bowed his head—even without raising his head, Loren could perceive that the other party was talking to Ain while he had counted on him countless times.

“Now that you are back, it means that the Wild Dog Village thing has come to fruition.” Dalton continued: “But the two soldiers who went with you did not come back, so something went wrong, or another Have a secret? “

The other party was very powerful … Lorren couldn’t help but jumped, even admiring in the bottom of his heart. So the simple way of thinking is as sharp as a razor.

“Yes, we encountered robbers first, and then encountered some … especially incredible things!” The little wizard nodded immediately: “If possible, I hope I can explain it to you in detail, and inform the dean of the master. ! “

“Understood, it seems that the matter has reached a point of urgency.” Dalton’s eyes were completely concentrated on Loren: “And it should be related to the gentleman behind you, right?”

“Yes, his name is Loren Turin, a wandering knight.” Ain said quickly: “If not him …”

“Since time is running out, don’t delay anymore, come in with me!” Dalton interrupted Ain directly and turned towards the castle. When he noticed that someone behind him came, he stopped and looked at Loren, who was also watching him.

“Welcome to Wimpar College, Your Excellency Loren Turin!”
