040 Road to No Return

A round transparent crystal ball suspended in the air.

A faint light emanated from the sphere, illuminating the faces in the room.

On the old wrinkled face, there was unbelievable surprise, and inexplicable emotions flickered in the eyes.

A calm young man with an indifferent expression, his hands were bluffed above the crystal ball, and the radiation power emanating faintly from his palms was connected with the crystal ball.

A huge bear head glanced at the light emitted by the crystal ball, let out a deep growl, then held his front paw again, cleaning up the food residue between the fingers.

"It's unbelievable! It's only time before you are a third-level apprentice, your teacher will be proud of you!" The old man praised excitedly with clapping clapping. Hissing, showing that his old wound hadn't healed yet.

Slowly withdrawing his hands, Raymond was very humble to the old man's praise. "Principal Bamer has given me the award. My respected teacher has always said that my growth is too slow, and I need to come out and see more."

With some emotion, he shook his hand and put away the suspended crystal ball. With the old man's snap of his fingers, the whole room was bright again.

"You have touched the threshold of a third-level apprentice at the age of fifteen. Your teacher's strength is unfathomable, and the gap is too great..." The words were full of emotion. se becomes a bit ugly.

As if sensing the old man's gaze, the black-maned bear who was licking the bear's paw suddenly raised his head and let out a muffled growl at Dean Bammer.

The sudden roar that echoed in the room made Dean Bamer's face look ugly. He staggered a bit before regaining his footing, and then smiled wryly.

Raymond, who frowned, let out a bear-like roar from his throat, and the black-maned bear with its head held high prostrated itself on the ground again.

It was expected that the black-maned bear would react when he saw Dean Balmer, but Raymond did not expect that in the memory of the black-maned bear, the hatred for Dean Balmer would be so deep that when he came to Black River Valley College, He almost rushed directly to kill Dean Bammer.

Fortunately, under Raymond's forceful yelling, this black-maned bear, which had eaten his delicious food for more than half a year, knew the consequences of offending Raymond, but its growling threats from time to time still made the bear in Black River Valley College People, very frightened.

Black River Valley College is a complex of buildings hidden in the mountains, somewhat similar to the monastery that Raymond remembered from his previous life.

The towering walls, the arrow towers at the four corners are more than ten meters above the wall, and in the vast space inside the wall, apart from a small castle in the middle, there are low huts built along the wall.

Originally, in Raymond's understanding, the Black River Valley Wizard Academy should be a large-scale and magnificent building complex, but after he came here and saw everything in front of him, Raymond was still disappointed.

It is called an academy, but in fact, besides Dean Bammer, there are only his assistant first-level apprentice Olin, and three teachers who have reached the second-level apprenticeship constitute the teaching team of the academy.

And all the students together, there are only more than 50. Among them, the teenagers who have reached the peak of the first-level apprentices are regarded as hard-working students who have achieved success in their studies and deserve awards.

Now after the personal test of Dean Bammer, Raymond's strength is close to that of the intermediate level of the second-level wizard apprentice. Generally speaking, as long as his nature is not too lazy, then after a year, Raymond can try to attack The bottleneck of the third-level apprentice.

Feeling that Raymond's strength was unexpected, Dean Bammer, who walked a little shaky, carefully avoided the place occupied by the black-maned bear, led Raymond out of the testing room on the third floor of the castle, and explained with emotion:

"Raymond, because my assistant Olin has been in the academy for more than 30 years, he has never met a young second-level apprentice like you, so he has offended many times before, please bear with us."

With a smile on his face, Raymond, who was beckoning the black-maned bear to follow, did not comment on this.

If it wasn't because he wanted to board a sea ship from another wizarding continent, Dean Bamer had to report in advance, otherwise Raymond had enough confidence to board the ship directly with his current strength.

Because the humanoid shadow Hailim in the old castle once told him that these sea ships specially transporting potential wizard apprentices must be reported in advance by the academies in various places before they can be allowed to board the ships.

And in order to protect these potential apprentices from being plundered or harmed by dark wizards, the West Coast will also keep the ship's information secret before officially boarding the ship.

So when it was time to board the ship, all potential wizard apprentices had to go to the nearby wizard academy to register, gather, and finally be escorted onto the ship by the faculty of the academy.

Back then, Hailim of the Tori family was unwilling to leave her hometown and go to other continents where there were many wizards, so she stayed in her family's territory.

But for Hailim, her choice back then was probably a serious mistake.

Thinking of the things Hailim said, the shadowy figure, after Lei Meng went to his office with Dean Bamer, Lei Meng raised his doubts.

Under the explanation of Dean Bammer, the continent on the west coast also had a time when wizards flourished, but with the outbreak of wars between wizards and the gradual shortage of resources needed by wizards, this continent has humans with wizard blood. Fewer and fewer.

Therefore, after many wizard organizations withdrew from this continent, this place became an area where black wizards could infiltrate. It is said that there was an evil black wizard thousands of years ago, who almost turned all humans in this continent into evil puppets.

Therefore, the powerful wizards born from this continent have set the rules. All those who have the blood of wizards and want to embark on the road of wizards, as long as they can pass the test of the wizard academy and reach the most basic strength of a first-level apprentice , in order to have the qualifications to go to other continents to continue their studies.

Standing at the window of the academy's central castle, Raymond rubbed the ears of the black-maned bear and listened to Dean Bammer's introduction. Regarding the qualification to board the ship three months later, Raymond already had no doubts.

But Dean Balmer, who explained in more detail than the shadowy figure Hailim, finally warned Lei Meng solemnly that the number of wizard apprentices who boarded the ship every three years was said to be quite small in number who actually grew up to be formal wizards.

In addition, these teenagers with the blood of wizards who boarded the ship rarely came back again.

The lack of wizard resources on the west coast has led to the thinning of wizard blood, but the same benefit is that it is very safe here.

A second-level wizard apprentice can have great power on the west coast and enjoy a luxurious life that ordinary people envy.

But if you board a ship bound for other continents, it is likely to embark on a road of no return!
