The group rode fast horses and soon arrived at the edge of Bu Atton Forest.

The Bu Atton Forest is located in the remote southwest corner of Alexandria, but the scenery is beautiful, the air is fresh, and it is very cool in summer. It is a good place for hunting and vacation.

The Moro family has a small manor outside the Atton Woods. Arthur often comes here to hunt and relax, and sometimes stay for a few days, so he is quite familiar with this area.

Because Arthur was carrying his luggage, the guards thought he would rest here for at least a few days.

At this time, the captain of the guard, Forlin, rode a horse to Arthur, and asked respectfully: "Young master, why don't you put your luggage in the manor first and rest and go hunting tomorrow?"

His proposal is reasonable. Arthur did this before, but today Arthur did not come to hunt for vacation, so he naturally could not do this anymore.

So Arthur shook his head and rejected the proposal: "I haven't hunted for a long time, and my hands have been born. I won't rest today. Let's go hunting first."

After saying that, he frowned again and looked thoughtful, and then continued:

"But it is really not convenient to bring your luggage. Otherwise, Uncle Fulin, you take a few guards and take your luggage to the manor first, and then tidy it up. I will take a few guards to hunt first, and we will meet again later."

Because Arthur often comes to Bu Atton Forest and is very familiar with it, and there are no dangerous large beasts in the forest, and there are several guards to protect it, so there is no danger.

Therefore, the Knight Forlin agreed without much hesitation, and soon turned to the manor with a few guards.

Arthur's eyes were dull as they looked at their departure.

He could almost foresee their ending. After he was confirmed to be "missed", Viscount Orell, who "lost his beloved son", would never let these "deadly" guards go, even the official knight Forlin.

This is both a murder and the best way to cover up the truth. After all, this seems so "real" and in line with "logical".

...

After supporting Forlin, the official knight, the biggest obstacle Arthur faced was gone. After entering the forest, he easily got rid of several guards behind him.

After getting rid of the guards, Arthur left the white horse in the forest, took Eth alone, left the Bu Atton Woods, and walked to Arilujah Harbour.

Keeping the horse can restrain the attention of the guards looking for him. Moreover, it is not far from Arilua Harbour and can be reached quickly on foot, because it is a boat to the gathering place of wizards, and it is impossible to bring horses with you. Releasing animals on the spot is the best choice.

On the way, Arthur took out a large suitcase from the space ring, which was the luggage he really prepared. The small suitcase before was just a prop to confuse others.

He cannot reveal his own space equipment. If he takes nothing and gets on the boat without a hand, it will be difficult to explain what he wants to take out.

Of course, all the items he really important are placed in his rings. All the suitcases are clothes and daily necessities, and there are backups in his rings, so even if they are lost, it will not have any effect.

After all, this suitcase is the same as the previous one, and is used to cover up the purpose.

The Bu Atton Woods and Ariluya Port were really close. After walking for a while, the dilapidated port was approaching.

Ariluya Port is an excellent deep-water port that once had a prosperous and glorious past, but for some reasons, the port was abandoned. Because it is remote and rarely visited, it looks like nothing is seen from a distance.

There was no trace of ships at the port, but Arthur seemed to have expected it and took something out of his arms calmly.

This is the token handed over by Viscount Orell, which is said to be a badge, but is the size of a palm and has a three-dimensional shape.

It looks like three crosses are inserted obliquely, but the three crosses have different colors, with gray crosses in the middle, and white and black ones on both sides.

I can't tell what material it is. The tentacles are cold, but they are different from metal gems and other touches.

This token or badge is very strange, with an ominous aura vaguely lingering on it. After staring at it for a long time, the chilling feeling penetrates from the outside to the inside, making people shudder.

After Arthur took out the object, he clasped his hands together in his palms.

A chill came in, and he couldn't help but shivered.

Fortunately, the chill comes and goes quickly.

When the surrounding temperature returned to normal, in Arthur's sight, on the coast where there was originally nothing, a gray double-decker boat was docking there quietly, as if it had been staying for a long time.

"This is a trick for wizards, and they can only deceive mortals without magic."

Viscount Orell's words seemed to echo in his ears. Arthur reacted from his daze, took a deep breath, and walked towards the ship.

Speaking of which, this is why Bu Atton Forest is so close to this place, but he is not afraid of being found, because even if the guards come to Arilujah Port, they cannot see the ship, so naturally they cannot find him.

There is a floating ladder between the ship and the port.

Arthur boarded the boat from the floating ladder.

A middle-aged man dressed up by a sailor and looked dull, guarding the ward.

"Come with me."

Leaving this sentence, the sailor led the way straight, regardless of whether Arthur had followed or not.

This sailor was a great knight, and the aura emitted by him was only slightly weaker than Viscount Orell, who was at the peak of the Great Knight. However, on this ship, he was just a sailor.

The sailor took Arthur to a room on the first floor on the deck, then stopped, turned his head and ordered Arthur:

“Get in.”

Arthur, without any offense, was angry and walked into the room calmly.

After entering the room, the light suddenly dimmed and the surroundings were dark.

The whole room seemed to be swallowed by darkness, confusing the concepts of time and space. The originally small room seemed to have no boundaries and could not feel the passage of time.

In the darkness, there are endless horrors and unknowns.

Something wandered in the darkness, staring at him greedily.

Fear and boring emotions revolve in his heart, as if there is no end.

I don’t know how long it took, the vision disappeared, and everything before it seemed to be just his illusion.

I saw a small room with a wooden table placed against the wall inside, and a man with a black robe covered with faces and couldn't see clearly stood behind the wooden table, holding a transparent crystal ball in his hand.

On the crystal ball, bright black and purple lights bloomed, mixed with faint colors.

“Mental Power 15.”

"Elemental Affinity-Nan Lei You."

"Dark constitution."

“Comprehensive assessment – ​​high qualifications.”

Ordinary, uncharacteristic male voice rang out.

“You are very suitable for our college.”

The man in black robe raised his head and showed a face that was as ordinary and uncharacteristic as his voice. Perhaps because of the rare light, his skin was a sickly pale.

What surprised Arthur was that he turned out to be black hair and black eyes.

After he arrived in this world, he had seen all kinds of hair, eyes, but he had never seen black ones.

Moreover, in this world, black hair and eyes often symbolize ominousness. Even if such a child is born under extremely accidental circumstances, he will probably be drowned or abandoned by his parents, and it will be difficult to survive.

The man in black robe had black eyes and hair, which was really rare, but despite this, he was still a typical white face.

Arthur was just a little surprised. Compared to this, the words of the man in black robe attracted him more.

"Academic?" Arthur asked back.

"Ghost Maze Wizard Academy, where you will learn wizards in the future."

The man in black robe explained briefly, then shook the bell strung in his hand.

The bell was shaken without making any sound, but the sailor who had left before appeared again at the door of the room as if he was summoned.

"You can leave now."

"Take him to the first floor to choose a room."

Upon hearing this, the sailor's face was full of surprise flashing, but he quickly returned to his calmness and responded respectfully:

“Follow your will, Lord Chris.”

"Come with me."

This time, the sailors' attitude towards Arthur was significantly better.

"There are only two people living on the first floor now, and there are still many rooms left. You can choose any one."

The sailor introduced to Arthur while walking.

Arthur frowned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Are there few people coming?"

"No, there are nearly a hundred people, they are all on the floor under the deck." The sailor shook his head and said.

"Under the deck?" Arthur was surprised.

"Well, there are six floors under the deck. We sailors live on the bottom floor, and the other five floors are reserved for the apprentices who come."

Arthur narrowed his eyes: "So not everyone can live in the first floor?"

"Of course." The sailor replied, "If you want to live on the first floor, you have the conditions, and not everyone can live."

"As for the conditions, it is very simple. The wizard emphasizes equivalent exchange, that is, what you want to get and what you have to pay."

"Then what do I need to pay for this?" Arthur asked.

"In fact, there is no need to pay anything. Equivalent exchange is the exchange of value. Recruiting apprentices is actually seeking a kind of value. Your apprentices themselves are this value. The kind of value you have will receive, and the same is the same. Your qualifications are rated as excellent, and this is your value, so you can live in the first floor, but others cannot."

"Of course, there is only this convenience it can provide. To get more, you need to show greater value."

As he spoke, he arrived at the corner. The sailor took Arthur to turn over here and continued:

"Compared with the deck, the conditions under the deck are very poor, and the more wet the bottom, the more wet the room. The distribution of rooms generally follows the principle of first come first and then come. Whoever comes first will naturally occupy a good room, but..."

Speaking of this, the sailor grinned and seemed a little malicious.

"If you are really not satisfied with your own room, you can also grab someone else's room. As long as you can grab it, no matter what means you are, as long as you don't have a life."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Arthur, grinned again, and said with a seemingly comforting look: "Of course, this does not include the room on the deck."

Why do you feel very regretful? Arthur rolled his eyes in his heart and was simply powerless to complain.
