Chapter 81
Granite monkey
Leylin's gaze looked distant as if a spark of wisdom was emanating from him.
"For the upper echelon Magi, in a state where they could not advance any further, their only concern was the protection and prosperity of their own families and factions!"
“For that, they monopolize the knowledge to advance to Magus, isolate the wandering magician and stop their advance. Moreover, even the academy had strictly arranged for the information provided to an aide to advance to a Level 3 Master. . . ”
Leylin, who came from another world, naturally looked at this method of sealing information.
However, compared to the tall and mighty Magi, the current Leylin was only an ant. Even if he saw it, there was no way he could resist it.
After all, Leylin was only a Level 3 Acolyte, and not even an official Magus!
“There must be information in the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy about the experience of ascending to Magus Rank 1, but I'm afraid it's not something I can easily obtain! It's a pity, but this is already the most likely situation I can think of …. ”
Leylin looked at the distant raindrops, immersed in deep thoughts.
After the terrifying experience of ascending to Level 3 Acolyte, Leylin was somewhat traumatic over the incident. Before making full preparations and obtaining enough information, he would definitely not dare to barge into the official Magus.
For the witches, the move to become an official Magus, from a maid, was the most important step, and no mistakes were allowed.
Leylin, however, was unable to find any information related to this. Furthermore, in order to obtain this information, he could only plan to retrieve it from the official Magus.
However, the strength of an official Magi far exceeded the strength of a Level 3 Acolyte. Not to mention the defensive field surrounding the official Magi which A. My Chip has been detected. Leylin had no means, even now, to break through it. The difficulty of obtaining information on the progress of a Magus official had long surpassed Leylin's limits. Only if Leylin was angry would he continue.
As for what Leylin knew, getting information about progress was the most appropriate method.
"According to the news Kroft hinted at earlier, although it might be a bit dangerous at the moment, it was also the best chance to obtain these resources and information!"
Leylin looked at the raging storm outside and suddenly strengthened his heart.
Even though he was someone who valued his life greatly, in a situation where his path seemed bleak, he could only muster up courage, and bet!
Currently, he was at the optimal age to advance to the official Magus. Once he missed this opportunity, even if he could obtain resources and information in the future, there was no way his old body would support him through a breakthrough to the Rank 1 Magus.
Moreover, it was not as if he did not have any confidence. At least, according to his own hypothesis and A. My Simulation Chip, there is at least a 90% chance the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy requires it to fulfill some kind of dangerous mission, and hence, it will not sacrifice it! This was enough for him to bet!
“I'll bet this once! If I cannot measure the absolute peak and observe the radiance from the dawn rays, then let me become mud and sink completely to the earth, and rot! "
His eyes twinkled as he stared intensely at the raging storm before him.
……
Three days later, it was around outside the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.
More than half of the forest around the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy had been destroyed. The ground was filled with traces of pits and depressions. Not far away, several plots of land were white, and above them were rubble and ash. From this, one could guess what kind of fierce battle the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy had gone through!
“It was completely reduced to a condition like this…. '' Leylin rode a large horse and dashed forward, feeling overjoyed that he had made the unshakable decision to leave the academy before.
It was such a huge battle that it had even destroyed half of the geography around the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy. If Leylin remained here, he had no confidence in protecting his life.
Following the path and traveling for another dozen minutes, a huge grave appeared before Leylin's eyes.
This was the underground entrance to the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, a huge granite grave. However, at this time, half of the tombstone was destroyed, and many graves were also dug open, revealing the dark passageways inside. The surrounding stone and mud walls reflect signs of having been abused by many spells. Before Leylin's eyes, warning A. My Chip kept beeping, revealing the extremely high radiation of some traces of this spell.
“Every small tombstone here is actually a private passageway for every professor in the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy and all of them are now in such ruins…. ”
Although he had long known that the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy would definitely suffer a great loss, this pitiful scene still caused Leylin to inhale a mouthful of cold ai

* Bang! *
Leylin casually kicked the stone on the floor, and walked towards the most central area of the cemetery, where a large tombstone that looked like a castle was erected.
This was the grand entrance to the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, and was a common pathway for all of its aides.
The surface of the castle was filled with cracks, and part of the topmost area was chipped off. The remaining ones swayed, and seemed to be on the verge of collapse. Seeing such a scene made Leylin somewhat worried; he felt that if he stretched out a finger and stabbed it, this tombstone castle would collapse.
"Stop! The outsider! If you can't show me the evidence, I'll make you pay the price of blood! "
The two stone statues at the large entrance were completely destroyed. The Winged Earthworm and the Two-Headed Dog from before were now gone. Just when Leylin wanted to enter, a metallic sound rang out.
Accompanying the voice, a huge shadow from the top of the castle climbed down rapidly. This black figure was taller by an average human with two heads, and his hands were extremely long, extending to the ground.
Although the castle tombstone was filled with cracks, no matter how this black figure rose, the castle did not shake an inch. Clearly, the construction of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy was not as weak as it looked on the surface.
* Bang! * The black figure jumped up, and a huge shadow projected on the ground, completely engulfing Leylin.
* Thump! * Black figure banged on the ground, giving rise to a layer of dust.
Leylin narrowed his eyes and finally saw the appearance of the black figure. It is a great creature like a monkey. His entire body was covered in granite, and both of his hands were leaning against the ground.
[Beep! Creatures with high energy levels have been detected. Now compare to database. It was designated as a Granite Monkey!] Sang A's. My Voice Chip sounded.
Granite Ape was a creature in the Magus World with a battle power comparable to an official Magus.
"I felt a surge of energy coming from the evidence object in your body, release it!"
The Granite Ape looked at Leylin, and sniffed him with its large muzzle. As the apes approached, a very thick and foul-smelling stench approached him. Leylin had to gather a lot of strength to bear the need to frown.

"Material evidence?"
Leylin thought for a moment, before hurriedly pulling the red metal card from his sack that he had obtained earlier when taking on the mission.
"So here!"
The Granite Ape took out a metal card and swallowed it in one gulp, as if chewing on a delicious meal. It even closed its eyes to enjoy the taste.
"This is the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy's academy that took on an outer mission earlier!"
After a dozen seconds, the Granite Ape opened its big eyes and said to Leylin, "Brat, come in!"
"Please accept my show!" Leylin thought, and bowed in front of the Granite Ape, before taking out a bunch of bananas like fruits and putting them on the ground.
“Banuts Stout Elephants! Not bad, not bad! ”The great ape nodded his head, and took one of the group and peeled it off, before throwing it into his mouth, as if it could not wait.
"Can I ask what happened to the two guards earlier?"
Leylin asked cautiously, after seeing the Granite Ape enjoying himself.
"They're dead!" The great ape answered briefly, and Leylin gasped in silence.
This was something he had long guessed. The two statues were clearly the first line of defense for the academy. Once attacked, they would easily be the first to perish.
After another bow, Leylin entered through the entrance of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy.
The vague flight of the descending stairs was the same as before, when Leylin had left the academy.
However, for some unknown reason – that may be the fact that he is now a Level 3 Acolyte with a greater Spiritual Strength – Leylin found that there are some marks on the walls and stones, and that there are some signs on the walls and stones, with a few traces of blood. There were even some faint roars of spirits that had perished, which went to Leylin's ears.

There were even some faint roars of spirits that had perished, which went to Leylin's ears.
Leylin, who had conducted a large number of experiments on spirit bodies, would never mistake this voice for something else.
Along the way, he noticed that he had run into far fewer aides than he normally would. Leylin estimated that the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy did not even possess half of its original strength. Even the Trading Post and Mission Area hotspots seem to be without people.
At the counter of the mission table, Leylin handed over the records in the crystal ball and a piece of the Great Snake Mankestre scale.
"I'm here to complete the mission!"
"Well, please wait a minute!" The staff at the counter had changed as well. This was a mottled girl, who appeared to only be a Tier 2 Acolyte.
As he waited, Leylin grew tired of dying, and looked around him.
Although the number of people in the Mission Area had been greatly reduced, the number of missions had not decreased but instead increased. In addition, many of them were experiencing increased rewards compared to before. According to Leylin's conjecture, while the difficulty of this mission remained the same, the rewards were doubled from the original.
This was an abnormal scene, which made Leylin's eyes blink.
"Just .. Leylin!" A muffled yet hoarse voice rang out behind Leylin.
Leylin turned around and saw a swollen figure wrapped in a black veil. In addition, the stench of pus drifted.
"You are ... Nyssa!" Leylin's eyes widened.
He naturally remembered this image clearly, but even if he did not, A. I Chip's already recording it.
"You really remember me!" Nyssa's voice had a tone of excitement. At the same time, waves of energy leaked from his body. According A. I am Chip, he is actually a Level 2 Acolyte.
The Road to Breakthrough
Leylin's expression softened; this was one of the rare occurrences that happened. He still remembered this poor girl and the sadness and perseverance on this girl's face before.
"It's nice to see you again, how are Guricha and Dodoria?"
Leylin smiled.
Hearing this, Nyssa who was wrapped in a black robe shuddered, and her voice was gloomy as she said, “They are all dead. Even Kaliweir, Beirut, who came with us from the Chernobyl Islands, more than half were killed. ”
"My apology… . ”
Leylin did not know what to say. Even though he leaked a bit of information earlier, it was very vague. Whether Kaliweir and the others could figure it out, and whether they could look at it in earnest was all a matter of uncertainty.
Moreover, even if they discovered that something was wrong, they were only first or second-rate aides without much talent. Whether they can get discriminatory treatment from the academy and leave is also difficult to say.
As expected, Nyssa continued, “After getting word from you, we have come together several times. However, there are no good steps. Not long after, the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy announced the lockdown of the entire academy, otherwise, death would be awarded …. ”
The official magi were the core strength of the war between the two sides. Kaliweir, together with others who were not even Level 3 Acolytes were no match for being cannon fodder, so a large casualty was expected.
Leylin could not think of any words of comfort. Nor did Nyssa continue, and silence ensued.
“Mission recorded and confirmed finished! Here's your gift, please check it and receive it! ”
At this moment, the mottled girl from behind the table finally raised her head, and wrote on a piece of parchment paper with a quill pen, finally handing the small leather sack to Leylin.
Leylin weighed the sack, and rubbed the sound between the Magic Crystals coming from the leather sack.
"I still have something, so I'll go first!"
Leylin said to Nyssa, leaving her with a complicated expression on her face.
"Mission is over, time to meet with Mentor!"
Leylin walked through the park and came to the experimental laboratory where Kroft was located.
* dong Dong Dong Dong! *
Leylin knocked on the door, which followed, the door creaking open, revealing a beautiful girl.
The girl was slightly shorter than Leylin by half a head and had beautiful green hair. The contours of his body are very seductive. Due to his proximity, Leylin could even smell his perfume.
“Bicky! It's long! "Leylin spoke softly.
"You ... Leylin!" The green-haired girl assessed Leylin suspiciously, before cheering as she leaped into his embrace.
Sensing the abundant soft excitement on his chest, and the scent that smelled down his nose, Leylin could not help but exclaim to this little girl who had grown up.
"Good! I'm here to visit Kroft! "
Leylin waited for a while, and seeing that the girl did not want to leave his embrace, he could only he coax her while patting her on the shoulder.
"Mentor is inside, along with Merlin!" Bicky rubbed his slightly reddened eyes, and his gentle face revealed a smile, "You're fine is really a great thing …. ”
Leylin nodded and walked over to the experimental laboratory.
"Girl!" Merlin greeted him first. Its features have not changed much from the past 3 years, it's just that its temperament seems more stable and mature. Upon seeing Leylin, he forced a very ugly smile.

"Senior Merlin!" Leylin. He knew that a part of Merlin's face had suffered irreparable damage from before, so he did not mind that he could not describe the general expression.
After that, Leylin continued walking.
There's only a trial table here. On the operating table, a white-haired middle-aged man placed the test tube in his hand down, and his pair of golden eyes met Leylin's eyes.
"I can smell the faint fragrance of the Void Flower on your body, it looks like you actually got the Void Flower petals!"
Kroft looked at Leylin for some time, before smiling, "You are truly a lucky person!
"Haha ..." Leylin scratched the back of his head, revealing an embarrassed expression, but deep down he was elated.
After deciding to use the Void Flower as an excuse, he had concocted a Void Flower substitute material.
98%
After a large number of experiments, he had obtained a kind of herb that could emit the fragrance of the Void Flower with a resemblance of 99.98%, to use as his trump card to deceive others.
Of course, this herb only had a scent similar to that of the Void Flower, but it did not contain the effects of the original Void Flower at all.
Before coming to the academy, Leylin had specially sprayed it onto his body, and now it seemed like Kroft was being fooled as well.
After which, Leylin only had to insist that the Void Flower effect was fully consumed by him, then no one would be able to find a gap in his speech.
“Whatever happens, reaching Level 3 Acolyte before you turn 20, you can already be considered one of the core acolyt in the academy. Only that you have to go to the Administrative Region to register, then the various welfares and your status will increase…. ”
Kroft informed Leylin of some of the benefits and powers granted to Level 3 Acolyte, which Leylin would grant.
Kroft informed Leylin of some of the benefits and powers granted to Level 3 Acolyte, which Leylin would grant.
Finally, Leylin could not wait any longer and said, "Professor, this time, I'm here to ask about the official Magus matter that you talked about earlier …. ”
“I know it!” Kroft nodded, “Since I saw you after your first meditation, I know that you are firm on the path of Magus…. ”
The white-haired middle-aged man pointed to the chairs in the lab, “Regarding this, it might take a while, so let's sit down first. ”
Saying that, Kroft walked towards the recliner and sat down, with Leylin following behind him.
The black chair was wrapped in the skin of several creatures, and sticking out your hands gave a feeling of comfort. Between the two seats, there was a small round table.
Bicky served two cups of steaming hot green drink – his actions were the official standard as if he had practiced serving countless times-and hurriedly retreated.
“Green Root Fruit Juice! I never thought that Professor would still have this habit! "Leylin sniffed the scent, and his eyes reflected a memento.
"Haha .. I've always loved this type of drink, even when I was idle or while doing experiments, I would still drink a sip or two. Moreover, to the official Magus, 3 years was only a short time in their lives! ”
Kroft made a few sips of the drink and then asked, "Leylin, do you know how to advance to the official Magus?"
"Please show me the way, Mentor!" Leylin's expression was very serious.
“An official Magus has long overcome human limitations. They are able to harness the energy of nature and obtain a longer lifespan. Even the worst official Magus far exceeded a Level 3 Acolyte! They are amazing! ”
Kroft's voice sounded soft, almost as if he was singing.
“This is due to the powerful energy and power controlled by the official Magus. Already long ago– probably a thousand years ago, at Luxe Castle on the South Coast, all the magisterium on the South Coast had reached a mutual agreement to control information about the official Magi, and had even certified it. ”.
Kroft talks about the past history of the Magus World.
"No matter what it is similar to my previous world nuclear weapons non-proliferation treaty!" Thought Leylin.
Kroft talks about the past history of the Magus World.
"No matter what it is similar to my previous world nuclear weapons non-proliferation treaty!" Thought Leylin.
“Since then, before Acolyte Level 3 advanced to the official Magus, they would sign a contract with the person or organization that provided that knowledge to them. To promise that there will be no concrete steps to progress to becoming an official Magus will be revealed. Every offender will receive judgment upon the Eye of Trial, and his soul will be forfeited for a thousand years …. ”
Kroft looked at Leylin, “I have also signed a contract before, then I can obtain the resources and information needed for progress. Due to these contractual restrictions, I cannot share information with you! "
"However, I can still tell you about the general knowledge around him!" Seeing Leylin's clearly disappointed face, Kroft continued.
“To progress to the official Magus, the first requirement is for the acolyte to reach a certain standard in Spiritual Strength. From what I see, you are already very close to this criterion. In fact, to many Level 3 Acolytes, this was not a problem at all.
“As for the actual core, it is to have a defensive spell model of Rank 1 Spell. This model will be your Innate Defensive Spell in the future. Also, you need a standard amount of Drinking Water to complete the breakthrough! ”
Leylin listened attentively, and various emotions flashed in his eyes, "So, the criteria for advancing are all three: A certain Level of Spiritual Strength, a defensive Rank 1 Spell and a Water Grine! Right?"
"Indeed!" Kroft nodded, "The Magus rank 1 spell models and Grine Water are controlled by a large faction. Even at the counter of the Abyssal Bone Forest Academy, you won't be able to find it! ”
Leylin smiled bitterly. He had already inspected most of the markets in the Poolfield Kingdom. There was absolutely not a single place that contained Grine Water or a defensive Spell Rank 1.
From Level 1 Acolyte to Level 2 Acolyte, all Leylin learned was a Rank 0 spell. Clearly, the Magi had made a clear division on the rank of spells. In addition, they created spells learned by the culprit as Rank 0 spells, to distinguish between spells from official Magi.
As for Grine Water, Leylin seemed to have seen some information related to him on the broken draft of Potioneering. It was a kind of potion that was rather difficult for Leylin with his current ability to brew. Moreover, many of the main ingredients were monopolized by large factions, and there was no trace of the formula.
"So, Professor, you're asking me to come back, which means I can get Grine Water and Spell Rank 1 defensive?" Suddenly Leylin asked.
“I can only say it's possible. ”
Kroft sipped another green refresh. “Forward to Level 3 Acolyte before you turn 20 is already considered a potential Magus. Therefore, you are qualified to sign a contract with the academy! "
