Wizard From Afar

"Close the door--!"

With a little bit of tragic and majesty, a wizard standing outside the main fort hall held up the wand in his hand and shouted vigorously. Accompanied by the creak of the pivoting of the door and the dust falling from the ceiling, the entire hall sank into a deadly darkness.

The apprentices hiding in every corner of the hall looked at each other and hugged each other to keep warm. In this darkness, no one dared to make a sound.

Fear is almost all written on their faces, and some people even start to sob in a low voice; or feel sorry for not walking with the person who left, it seems that even the air is filled with the name "fear" the taste of.

Dean Peter and several mentors have left, and the remaining mentors and older apprentices stick to the castle outside. Only their most ordinary apprentices are left in the hall, even if There is no sense of security even if you rely on each other.

No one knows whether the castle can be guarded; no one knows when the gate will be knocked open; and if the castle falls, what will happen to them?

The unknown fear is like an infectious disease, one after another, torturing all the apprentices hiding in the hall, hiding in their corners shiver coldly, staring at the closed door. , Mutter incantations in the mouth, pray for the Holy Cross to protect himself.

"Damn, damn...I'm just a wizard, not a Barbarian with an axe, why should I run into this kind of thing!!!"

I'm about to get caught in my heart. Isaac, who was tormented by fear, squatted under the table with her head in her arms, cursing over and over again, and the trembling of her teeth could be heard clearly across the table.

Even the little wizard is no better to go there, sitting curled up in a chair, right hand tightly covering his mouth to prevent himself from crying, and the trembling pupils keep on going there Tears ooze, and the heart beats faster and faster.

The sudden sound of footsteps behind her made Ai Yin's heart tense, her stiff body trembled slightly, and she didn't even dare to turn her head. It wasn't until the silhouette walked in that I could see who the person was.

"Loren——?!"

"Where did you damn it just now?!" Isaac, who was excited and frightened, cursed directly, and then involuntarily said I hugged him tightly. "I'm so careful and scared!"

"Sorry, I was delayed for a while." After a little comfort Isaac, Loren was able to sit down: "I was caught by Dalton. The mentor yelled and just let me come back."

"How is the situation now?" The little wizard asked eagerly, "Why do the mentors close the door? Also, I heard that Peter The dean and Dalton mentor have both left, is it true?"

"President Peter and the others, went to help the guards of the village." Loren nodded: "As for the mentors, they are closed because the enemy is always ready. Everyone will come here, for everyone’s safety..."

"Boom——!!!"

The sudden rumbling sound interrupted Loren's words in an instant, and it was still dead just now. The screams and crying in the hall were one after another, and the apprentices who were already on the verge of collapse completely broke the last string.

"Help...who will save us...as long as we can get out of here...anyone will do..."

"The Holy Cross will bless us... The Holy Cross will bless us ..."

"All, all are fake...all are fake...I'm dreaming...I, I don't want to die Ahhhh..."

......... ...The loud crying and shouting made Isaac and the little wizard, who had calmed down, fell into fear once again, staring intently at Loren who was sitting there motionless, but he couldn't help but think with his chin. stand up.

Listening to the sound just now, I am afraid that the gate of the castle has been knocked open-you know that Peter and Dalton have just set off, I am afraid that they have not gone far. According to what I said, the other party was lying in ambush at the door from the very beginning, waiting for them to leave before launching a surprise attack.

It is definitely not a coincidence, but a premeditated one!

The closed door ensures the safety of the apprentices, but it also cuts off all means of contact with the outside world. What is certain is that the people who raided the castle must have fought with the wizards waiting outside. As for how long it can last, it is completely unknown. Maybe it can really last until the reinforcements arrive.

After all, this is a castle. Even if the gate is broken, apprentices with little combat experience can use the city wall and tower to temporarily resist the opponent's offensive with their instructors.

But is this really what the other party wants?

What Karan wants is the vampire hidden in the castle. And he already knows the exact location, so why start a surprise attack from the front? Isn't it a better choice to sneak in while Peter and Dalton are not there?

In order to survive, the wizards and apprentices in the castle will definitely fight with him. Karan is impossible to know about this. Then why does he have to choose this extremely stupid choice? This is totally unreasonable.

"pa ——!"

Loren, who was still lowering his head in thought, clapped his hands suddenly, startling the two people beside him. The little wizard approached a little timidly: "What's wrong, Loren?"

"Uh? Sorry, I'm a little lost." Loren brows tightly knit reluctantly, still clenching his teeth. .

It feels too bad to hide and speculate like this, it's not my own style at all. Patted cheeks to calm himself down, and Loren decided to change his mind.

If you say that it is not Kalan's choice to raid the castle, but what he must do?

Yes, he needs a chance to enter the castle, but he doesn't need to actually capture the castle. If the goal is only to get vampire, then he just needs to behave.

The biggest obstacle is Peter and Dalton. Both of them are now passed away. No wizard can stop him. In such a situation, it was easier than imagined that Karan wanted to sneak into the castle.

"I'm so stupid..." Loren muttered to himself, who suddenly wanted to understand, making the little wizard, who didn't know what he was doing, retracted his head in fear.

Obviously, I already know the purpose of the other party, but I'm still struggling with the process here, focusing on figuring out things that I don't need to know before my eyes.

Yes, from the very beginning, I don’t need to know what Kalan will do. No matter what tricks he plays, his goal is the vampire. Just knowing this is enough. Others Everything is just a blindfold!

"I may need to leave for a while." Loren who made the decision no longer hesitated, and stood up as he said: "It shouldn't be too long, but... anyway I may not be able to come back."

"Where else can you go, now the door of the hall is closed, all the enemies outside, and..." Isaac asked immediately, halfway through. Stared wide-eyed in amazement: "Are you trying to go out and fight those people?!"

"It's very close, but it's a little bit close." Loren slightly laughed and held it down Isaac, who wants to stop himself: "Of course...I can't tell you yet."

"Are you crazy? No one wants you to do this! Mentor Dalton is not here, nor is Dean Peter. What quest is for you, why do I have to go out to die?!"

"I didn’t go out to die, nor was it because of the mission." He shook the head, and Black’s pupils were extremely firm: "But very Sorry, because I really didn't have a choice."

If it weren't for Asriel, Loren wouldn't want to fight for a vampire and a wizard. But this kind of thing is impossible for Isaac and the little wizard to know.

"If...I mean if." Although he was talking to Isaac, Loren turned his gaze to Ai Yin: "Wait until tomorrow morning when I haven't come back, don't go to me. Don’t have anything to do with me-you’d better treat me as if I’m gone, and you can forget about me!"

"What stupid things are you talking about, you are my Junior Brother!" The veto of Isaac as it should be by rights was dropped: "I have tolerated your existence for nearly half a year. If you disappear all of a sudden, should I tolerate another potato with water in my head?!"

Although Loren knows that he is expressing concern, Isaac really has the potential to ridicule.

The little wizard is much quieter than him. He only lowered his head slowly. Loren only heard it when he left:

"Don’t... ."
