In the coconut forest on the seaside, between the tall black coconut trees, two groups of escort knights dressed in black and white were fighting in chaos.
The sound of clanging weapons and the hissing of bows and arrows can be heard endlessly. Among them, the people on the side dressed in white have the upper hand and have a clear numerical advantage. From time to time, someone on the side dressed in black can be seen falling.
But what is surprising is that the side of the black clothes looks extremely tough, even in the chaos, it still protects the red-haired man behind it. One guard after another was cut down to the ground.
A bearded man in black clothes shimmered with white light, holding a scimitar and shield and roared angrily.
"Let's go! Mike!!" He didn't notice for a moment and was severely slashed on the back. The flesh and blood of the wound turned up and turned faintly blue, obviously it was highly poisonous.
"There's someone in front of you! Let's go!" The bearded man shouted again.
The protected red-haired man bit his lip, took one last deep look at the beard, turned around and ran away without saying a word. This situation has been repeated many times. He fled here from the distant Mipan Academy just to protect the safety of the thing in his arms. Only by bringing it back safely can the clan possibly exchange it for enough money. Medicines treat ancestors' injuries.
For this secret treasure, their family has sacrificed five knights along the way. The bearded man in front of him is his best friend, the best since childhood!
The red-haired man held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, hugged the black bundle tightly in his arms, buried his head and rushed deep into the woods.
¡°Stop him!!¡±
The man in white behind him yelled.
The red-haired man ignored it and ran forward as hard as he could. The green light acceleration technique that was still flashing on his legs was now getting dimmer.
"For this operation, all the apprentices of the family have been dispatched. Even the knights have died so many, absolutely! We must definitely bring the things back!" There was only one thought in his mind.
The woods on both sides were quickly retreating behind them. In the woods ahead, a woman in black tights could be vaguely seen, standing quietly and waiting. The woman held two knives behind her back with both hands. She had snow-white skin and shawl silver hair. Her eyes were vaguely glowing with a faint blue light, which was a sign of being transformed by witchcraft.
The red-haired man finally breathed a sigh of relief. He threw the baggage in his arms towards the woman. He could no longer hold it up and fell to the ground.
"Thank you for your hard work." The woman caught the baggage, replied lightly, turned around and was about to leave. The steps she had raised suddenly fell down, and her whole body froze. His eyes were fixed on the woods behind him.
By the side of a coconut tree there, a man in purple and black robes was standing quietly. He was wearing a veil and a hood. He was only more than ten meters away from the two of them. There was a faint and strange aura about him.
The woman didn't know when this man appeared. She was also a third-class apprentice and a formal knight, so she would never miss anything from the surroundings. However, this man appeared so silently, as if he had been there from the beginning. Just like standing there.
"Who are you?" she asked in a low voice.
"I want to ask for directions." The other party's beautiful red eyes were slightly bent, and his voice was clear. "Do you know how to get to Ramsuda Kingdom?"
"Lam's Answer? This is the Sixth Ring Tower. If you want to go to Ram's Answer, you need to walk southeast along the coastline." The woman's voice was cold, without the slightest hint of anxiety that someone was chasing after her.
"Thank you so much." The man nodded, turned and walked deeper into the woods.
Suddenly, his steps stopped and he turned around to look behind the woman in black. "This breath"
The woman in black also changed her expression. She was still wary of the movements in the front, but suddenly turned around and looked sideways behind her. A large group of white-clothed pursuers were rushing over there quickly.
"Hurry, hurry! We found them!" "Notify Mr. Finland immediately!"
The men in white rushed over and surrounded the area. The man in purple and black robes was also surrounded inside.
"A person from Mipan Academy? You were wanted for me for so long." The man in purple and black robes suddenly turned cold. "Okay, since I asked for directions, I will help you solve these little troubles."
He stretched out his right hand and pressed down with his palm.
Boom! !
The soil under the feet of all the people in white collapsed instantly. The soil seemed to be alive, forming black tentacles that wrapped around the feet of all the people in white. Suddenly there was a chorus of exclamations.
The woman in black was suddenly startled and looked around. All the people in white were gradually dragged into the ground by the soil tentacles and buried alive. Only she and the red-haired man on the ground were left.
She was reading and looked in the direction of the man in purple and black robe.??The other party has disappeared deep into the forest.
Angelet asked for directions, thought for a moment, and decided to go to the Sixth Ring Tower area first to see how Lispel was doing.
Slightly changing the direction, he flashed directly towards the depths of the land.
*************************A few weeks later, on a gray rainy day somewhere in the Sixth Ring Tower Protection Area, among the rolling plains and dense forests, one by one Over the large and small irregular lakes, a red light fell from the sky, circled in a circle, and slowly fell to the shore of the lake. The red light faded, and a tall man in purple and black robes stood inside. It was Angelet who had been on his way without stopping.
He raised his head and glanced at the towering white spire in the distance. From time to time, there were black spots on the top of the tower where wizards flew away.
"After so many years, this place still has the same defense system as before." Shaking his head, Angele retracted his gaze and walked some distance into the woods in front of him along the lakeside.
Deep in the forest, a black metal fence of the manor loomed. There was an iron gate in the middle of the fence, and a black notice board stood on the side. The word 'Pell' is engraved obliquely on it.
Angelet took a deep breath, and the cool breath in the rain refreshed him. He walked forward slowly, stood in front of the iron door, and knocked lightly a few times.
The iron door made a strange sound like wood. A circle of blue light lit up on the facade, and a young woman's voice came from inside.
"This is the headquarters of the Pell family. Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, is Ms. Gotrina Pell here? I am her mother's student and I came to visit the teacher." Angelet had done some research on the situation here before coming.
After Lisper broke away from the family, the Sea War broke out immediately. Most of the major wizarding organizations at that time suffered heavy casualties. Per's grandmother was killed directly in the battle, and the family was facing collapse. Later, Lispel returned in time after the war to rebuild the family. After hundreds of years, the family name had removed a long list of names, and simply used the suffix of her name as the abbreviation of the family name.
She later recruited many apprentices and made great contributions to the family. Later, she died together with her lover at White Fang Castle, leaving only a niece as the heir to the family.
This time Angelet came to see the place where Lispel last left.
"Ms. Pell's student, you must also be an adult, right? Please wait a moment, I will inform Ms. Linna right away." The blue ring on the door hesitated for a moment, and soon fell silent.
Angelet was not in a hurry, just stood quietly at the door and waited.
After a while, an inaudible vibration ripple swept through his body, and soon, the iron door opened with a click. Inside, a white-haired old woman stood tremblingly in the door, leaning on a black wooden cane, looking at him carefully.
"I'm sorry that I have met most of the current students, but this is just your impression." The old woman looked confused.
"Does it look familiar, but you can't name it?" Angelet smiled. There was a faint invisible ripple between his eyebrows, affecting all the humanoid creatures around him.
"Indeed, I'm really sorry. Mother had so many students that I can't recall them all at the moment. I'm getting older now, living here alone, and my memory of surnames is getting worse and worse. Please come in." The old woman stepped aside. Body, let Angele in.
"Aren't you worried that I'm a liar?" Angelet asked with a smile.
"There is nothing here, nothing to deceive. Moreover, I can smell an aura from you that does not belong to a young man, as well as a strong spirit of a formal wizard. If such a being wants to, there is no need to come to your door in this way. Visit." The old woman, supported by another maid dressed in black and white, walked slowly inside, along the white stone path, towards several small white stone buildings not far away.
The light rain was misty, falling on the old woman but not getting wet at all.
Angelet followed closely, and the iron door behind him automatically closed slowly.
¡°Can you let me go and see the place where Ms. Pell last left?¡± He directly whispered his intention. "I have been wandering away these years, and not being able to come back to see her for the last time is one of my biggest regrets. Now I come back mainly to make up for it."
"Of course, many students have been here. If my calculation is correct, you are almost hundreds of years old, right? Just call me Gotlina." The old woman smiled.
"Then I'll just call you Lina. Did the teacher say any unfulfilled wishes when he passed away?" Angelet asked as he walked.
"My mother had very few friends during her lifetime, and one of her best friends also went overseas. Her only regret was that she could not see her friend one last time. Since her father passed away, this matter? became her only wish, but unfortunately, until the end, we didn't know where her friends were. "Lina shook her head and said regretfully.
Angelet was slightly silent. He understood that the person Lispel wanted to see before she died was probably him.
With a long sigh, he stopped talking, and just quietly followed Linna's master and servant, along the white stone path, winding to a small yard behind.
The courtyard wall is black, and a gray-black hut stands quietly inside. There is a pure white flowerbed on the right side, with dense white flowers blooming in it, and the fragrance is fragrant.
And in the empty space on the left side, there is a grape trellis with green vines on it and bunches of small green grapes.
"This courtyard is the last place my mother lived before she died. See for yourself." Linna unlocked the courtyard door and stepped aside to make way for the entrance.
Angelet glanced at her, nodded, and strode into the courtyard gate.
