Fantasy journey to the heavens

Chapter 97 Late Night
Hearing the screams not far away, several people present couldn't help but froze.

Katim frowned and looked into the distance.

There, a sharp scream came, accompanied by a woman's cry.

"Someone?"

The expressions of everyone present could not help but change slightly, and they looked towards the direction where the sound came from.

They hurried forward.

But when they saw the scene ahead, they couldn't help but be stunned.

On an empty and flat land, a woman's body lay quietly.

The woman is young, she looks to be in her early twenties, has an ordinary appearance, and is wearing a robe.

She lay quietly on the ground, her face twisted ferociously, and she seemed to have suffered tremendous pain.

The people on the side came forward to look at it and inspected it carefully.

"I'm out of breath."

The woman has lost her breath of life.

As soon as this result came out, the expressions of everyone present could not help but change.

Ellie quickly left with her people to notify the instructors at the college, while Katim and others stood there, guarding the bodies and traces.

Standing there, Katim looked in front of him.

The realm energy in him was growing, and his speed suddenly became faster.

Judging from the usual situation, this is a sign of involvement in something.

Katim couldn't help but frown secretly.

In Morning Star College, his purpose has always been very simple. He just wanted to complete his studies and had no intention of getting involved in other matters.

Fortunately, the growth rate of the world is not too fast.

This shows that this incident is not too exaggerated.

Otherwise, Katim wouldn't be standing here and would just turn around and leave.

"What exactly is there in this academy?"

He looked up into the distance, this thought flashing through his mind.

Yesterday, Lilian specifically reminded him not to enter the dense forest.

But this place is quite far away from the dense forest, and something happened.

After a while, the instructor from the college also came.

It was a middle-aged wizard with a stern face, wearing a black robe, and his aura gave people a very dangerous feeling.

He came to the scene and looked at the woman's body. His expression seemed a little surprised, but he soon regained his composure.

"I see."

He said calmly: "Just leave it to us. You can leave."

"Remember, don't come near here during this time."

Ai Liwei and others looked at each other, none of them expected this result.

There is a death within the academy. Isn't this a big deal? No matter how you feel, the other party doesn't have any special reaction.

Or is this incident itself caused by the academy?

At this moment, many people felt something unusual keenly.

But facing the middle-aged wizard in front of them, they still didn't dare to say anything and quietly retreated.

Katim also left with the crowd.

But his treatment seems to be different from others.

"Kadim."

In front, the middle-aged wizard with a stern face called Katim's name.

"Mr. Curry."

Katim bowed in greeting.

The middle-aged wizard in front of him is also one of the official wizards of the academy. He has met him several times, so Katim can call him by name.

"I've been staying with your teacher recently, don't leave casually."

Curry looked at Katim and said calmly: "There may be some chaos outside recently. Just wait until this period of time passes."

"Yes."

Katim's heart tightened, his face remained calm, and he just nodded silently.

After a while, he left here.

Curry was the only one left in the place.

He stood alone in front of the woman's body, as if waiting for something.

"I accidentally let you run out."

He looked at the woman's body and said coldly: "But, do you think you can run out of the academy?"

"Don't even look at where this is."

Cold words kept falling.

In front of me, a strange scene began to happen.

A change occurred on the woman's body. The twisted and ferocious face moved slowly, revealing a hint of panic.

Looking at it, it was as if the body was still alive.

"Give up the struggle."

Curry was expressionless: "It will be over soon."

After the words fell, he slowly moved forward, grabbed the woman's body with one hand, and turned around to leave.

"Wendy, an apprentice who entered the academy seven years ago. She was born a commoner and didn't have many friends. She disappeared inexplicably last year and was suspected of leaving the academy."

Katim looked at the information he had collected and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

After leaving the place just now, he felt something was wrong, so he went directly to Tina and others to find out the information.

Wendy, this is the name of the woman just now. It is said that she was an apprentice who joined the academy seven years ago and had very poor talent.

It is said that he has been in the academy for several years, but he has not been able to become even a second-level apprentice. His talent is so bad that he is completely poor.

Finally, last year, she disappeared completely, and she didn’t know where she was going.

There is clearly a problem here.

Why did a person with poor wizarding qualifications suddenly appear in that place and look like that?

Curry obviously knew something, but didn't want to say it.

This matter may have something to do with the college.Katim couldn't help but start thinking about a question.

Morning Star College recruits apprentices from outside, even those who are very old and have poor qualifications. What is the purpose of this?
Fourth-level qualifications are okay, but those apprentices with fifth-level qualifications may only spend their lifetime refining their magic power and barely become a first-level apprentice.

Such strength cannot bring any benefit to the college at all, it is just a burden.

Because even if the qualifications are very poor, it still takes a lot of resources for the academy to train these apprentices.

We are consuming resources out of thin air like now, but can't cultivate any results. What are we trying to achieve?
Because of their poor qualifications, those apprentices were often from civilian backgrounds. Even if they were from a wizarding family like Ellie, they were often not taken seriously, so they could not afford many magic stones.

Admission for most apprentices at Morning Star College is free, and they only need to serve the college for a certain number of years after graduation.

But what can a first-level apprentice do if he comes?
This is also the reason why most colleges do not recruit external students, because the quality of the apprentices they recruit is really not very good.

No one wants to trade at a loss.

But now, Morning Star Academy has been doing this.

What do they picture?
Katim couldn't help but fall into thinking.

At this time, he felt that there seemed to be many secrets in the seemingly ordinary academy in front of him.

At the very least, the purpose of the college recruiting apprentices in large numbers may not be that simple.

A simple proof is, where did the apprentices who graduated in the past go?
You know, this is not the first time that Morning Star Academy has recruited apprentices like this, but it has been going on for some time.

But there are still not many apprentices in the academy.

Then the problem is coming.

Where did these apprentices go?

That's a great question.

Katim has decided to be more careful in the future.

Although, these things in the academy will most likely not affect him.

Compared with other apprentices around him, his qualifications are excellent after all. Even if he is really doing any dangerous experiments, he can't do it.

But in such a dangerous place, who can say for sure.

"Is that what Curry said?"

Back at Lilian's residence, listening to Katim's story, Lilian couldn't help but pause.

"I see."

She spoke softly, looking at Katim in front of her and said: "Don't leave here during this period, try to stay around here."

"Yes."

Katim's face was calm: "I understand."

"It just so happens that I still have many questions to ask the teacher."

With a smile on his face, he said so.

late at night.

It was already dark outside.

It was quiet all around, except for the chirping of insects, not many other sounds could be heard.

Khadim was alone in his room reading a book.

He is currently staying in Lillian's manor.

Because of Curry's reminder during the day, after thinking for a while, he simply stayed in Lilian's manor.

After all, as an official wizard's residence, this place must be safe.

However, the outside world does not seem to be peaceful tonight.

Katim was in the room and heard the sound of footsteps outside.

Something happened outside, so Lillian left here and seemed to have dealt with it in the past.

Only Katim and a few other apprentices are left in the manor.

But that's all right.

As the official residence of wizards, this manor is equipped with a large number of defensive arrays, and it has sufficient defensive capabilities even if Lilian is not around.

Even if you are a formal wizard, it is impossible to break the magic circle and enter here without alerting the wizards of the academy.

Unless they are inside.
boom!boom!
A crisp sound came out.

Katim put down his book and looked out the door.

It was already late at night, and the other apprentices around him should have rested.

Who would be here at a time like this?
"it's me."

Outside the door, Tina's voice came: "Kadim, can I come in?"

"is there anything?"

Khadim's calm voice echoed from within the room.

"I want to come and see you."

Tina's voice sounded inexplicably hoarse, as if she was restraining something: "There was so much noise outside, I was a little scared. So I wanted to come to you."

"Can you let me stay in your room for a while? I want to stay with you."

Katim fell silent for a moment.

"I'm ready to rest."

After a while, he spoke again.

"It's ok."

Tina's voice continued: "I can rest with you."

Her words were full of hints.

There was no other response from Katim.

The place suddenly fell into silence, so quiet that one could seem to hear one's own heartbeat.

A faint sound came from the door of the room.

That was the sound of the door lock being picked.

After a while, the door to the room slowly opened.

A figure walked in from outside.

From the appearance, it looks like a girl, wearing a red robe.

She walked into Khadim's room and looked towards the bedside.

Looking at the figure hidden under the quilt, a smile suddenly appeared on her face.
