The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 85 Door·6k (11)

Elena pushed the door open but did not go in.

She and Lin En looked at each other, took a half step back in tacit understanding, and then exclaimed in a low voice:
"The door is open!"

In the chaos of the fight, this shout was inconspicuous.

But to the apprentices who did not participate in the fight, it was like thunder!

"The door is open?!"

"Why did the door open?"

The apprentices were shocked, then ecstatic. Some of those who were fighting each other stopped, turned around and ran towards the gate!

One, two, three...

Most of the apprentices had already gone in, and after confirming that there was no danger, Lynn and Elena also tried to walk in slowly.

Among the apprentices, some were as smart as them and only then slowly walked towards the door.

At this time, a first-class apprentice from the Snake Society suddenly walked towards Lin En and said in a commanding tone:
"I saw you fiddling with the door and then opening it... Tell me how you did it. What do you and the female apprentice from the Horsens School next to you know?!"

The gray-black gate stood here. Although most people were fighting with each other just now, quite a few people still saw Lin En's actions.

Lin En frowned slightly, took a half step back, and focused his mental energy on the golden shadow pendant on his chest.

After being teleported here, these apprentices naturally divided into several different camps.

Among them, the Snake Society was the first group to come together because it was the target of public criticism.

It is for this reason that this first-class member of the Snake Society is followed by dozens of other members of the Snake Society.

The group came in a menacing manner, clearly with ill intentions.

"Why don't the people from the Snake Society flee quickly? Why do they dare to threaten us from the Golden Shadow Society?"

At this moment, another voice suddenly came from behind.

A fit female apprentice with short hair came to Lynn.

At this moment, he turned to Lin En and said hello with a smile:

"Mr. Lin, I'm Sapphire, do you remember me?"

After Sapphire finished speaking, he did not ignore Elena who was standing beside him and greeted her with a smile.
"Ms. Elena."

"Ms. Sapphire." Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.

Sapphire is a first-class apprentice of the Golden Shadow Society. She is very powerful and has a high status in the society.

Sapphire did not come alone at this time.

Behind her was a group of members of the Golden Shadow Society, including some first-class apprentices. They all stood beside Lin En and confronted the members of the Snake Society.

It is worth mentioning that some wild wizards and wizards from the Blood Mark Society who were not in a hurry to enter also followed them and formed a group.

After all, the traitorous Serpentine Society is the common enemy of everyone in the Horsom Wizard Territory.

The first-class apprentice of the Snake Society frowned when he saw that the situation was not good, and left without saying a word with the members of the Snake Society behind him.

Sapphire did not chase after him, but walked closer to Lin En, smiled and whispered:

"Now that we are in a desperate situation, we apprentices should join forces to overcome the difficulties... What do you think, Lord Lin En?"

Lynn understood that this was a message of alliance sent by Sapphire.

He smiled and replied, "Cooperation is the right thing to do. We are from the same association, Master Sapphire."

Sapphire smiled and complimented again:
"Mr. Lin En is good at witchcraft formations, and Ms. Elena knows about world invasion fortresses... Although I am a bit dull, I still have some witchcraft to show off... In the next period of time, I hope you two will take care of me."

"It is Lady Sapphire who is taking care of us." Lynn did not hesitate to smile and praise.

After all, a smile and a promise of verbal alliance would cost him nothing, but it would have the desired benefit.

Sapphire laughed and said a few nice words.

Some apprentices nearby also echoed, and a simple alliance was formed.

"Let's hurry up and leave too, Lord Lin En, to prevent Green Shadow from catching up with us again." Sapphire said finally, and took the lead and walked forward.

Lynn followed.

Elena walked behind, seemed to have thought of something, and tried to close the door again.

"The energy supply module has been violently destroyed. Even with the corresponding materials, it cannot be restored in a short period of time. Closing the door is useless." Lin En turned around and reminded.

Elena was slightly startled and gave up closing the door.

She took one last look at the square.

The green shadow and the humanoid bat-like monster had disappeared, only some roars could be heard.

Shaking her head, Elena quickly followed.

……

Not long after they left, the green shadow, with only a small half of its body left, returned to the square.

Its breath was weak and it was obviously seriously injured. It urgently needed a sacrifice to recover.

"Help...Help!" At the door, the unlucky first-class apprentice discovered the arrival of Green Shadow and shouted in despair.

Because no one knew whether it would violate any new rules, no one dared to touch the tied-up first-class apprentice.

He therefore remained where he was in despair.

The first-class apprentice's eyes were filled with fear as he prayed for a miracle to happen.

Swish!
But the miracle did not happen. The green shadow soon discovered him and pounced on him without hesitation.

The first-class apprentice screamed for a moment, and soon died.

His body was also completely devoured by the green shadow, leaving only some silver threads remaining.

After swallowing it, the green shadow continued to move towards the gate.

But just as it was about to cross the gate.

The door that had clearly been cut off from energy suddenly closed, and the silver-white light re-lit on its surface, blocking the green shadow out!

"hiss!!"

The green shadow roared angrily and continued to attack the silver-white gate.

……

On the other side, Lin En and others came to a hall.

The apprentices who entered earlier stopped here with strange expressions.

This hall is also enclosed, somewhat similar to the previous square, except that the dome is intact and a little smaller, and there are 5 different doors on the curved walls.

The hall was extremely quiet at this time, with only an intermittent mechanical voice announcing:

"Welcome... welcome... welcome... to the Black Moon Fortress... new... new... error... restarting... failed... failed... error... failed..."

The apprentices in the hall kept silent tacitly, trying to make out what the mechanical voice said.

Because there was the first-class apprentice who attacked the gate as a precedent.

Now no one dared to ignore the sound in front of them, which might be made by the tower spirit.

However, the mechanical voice kept repeating itself without any follow-up.

Finally, someone complained in frustration:
"What's the point of escaping here? It's a dead end, and we can't hear anything on the radio... If Green Shadow comes back soon, we'll all die!"

"That's not true. Green Shadow shouldn't be able to enter the fortress..."

"We can all come in, why can't it come in?"

The hall became noisy again, and only a few people noticed that the sound of the Tower Spirit machine suddenly disappeared.

If someone is currently in the center of the hidden witch formation in the Black Moon Fortress,

You can see several lines of characters flowing through the fortress core:

"Restart failed... Black Moon Fortress has crashed... Trying to contact the Black Moon Academy main world...

"…Contact with the main world failed. Trying to contact the Black Moon Branch (1)…Contact failed. Trying to contact the Black Moon Branch (2)…Contact failed…

"...

"Trying to contact Black Moon Branch (1204)... Contact failed...

"It is inferred that the Black Moon Academy has been destroyed... and is currently reviving the Tower Spirit Black Moon I..."

After a while.

An anthropomorphic sigh suddenly sounded. The voice was still a mechanical sound that could not be distinguished between male and female, but it became more lively.

"Let me see...more than 1,500 Gun years have passed...

"This time, the ones let in by the basic tower spirit loophole are a group of wizard apprentices..."

The voice of the Black Moon Tower Spirit is inexplicably lonely, but this is the effect of the advanced anthropomorphic emotion module installed on it.

In fact, he couldn't understand loneliness, and everything was still going according to the wizard's design.

The next moment, a new broadcast sounded in the hall where Lin En and others were:

"Please go to the corresponding gate according to the destination you reported in advance to receive the fortress pass and supplies."

As the broadcast ended, a different line of unfamiliar text lit up on the top of each door.

These characters are completely different from the common wizarding language today.

It is more angular, and its structure contains many triangular and diamond-shaped patterns that appear to represent the moon.

"What text is this?"

"I don't know him, do you know him?"

"I've never seen it before? The mechanical voice clearly spoke the wizard's common language, so why was the text written in this language?"

"Idiot, listen carefully. It is not the common language of wizards at all. It is just that you can understand its meaning."

"That's similar to the effect of language proficiency magic..."

"Lady Elena, do you recognize this kind of writing?" Sapphire asked, hoping that the witch in front of her, who came from a school of thought, might know something.

But Elena quickly shook her head and said, "I have never seen such writing."

"I don't know which door to choose." Sapphire sighed in her heart.

However, there were hundreds of surviving apprentices present, and not all of them were as cautious as they were.

Someone couldn't hold back and walked towards the door on the far right.

The noise suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes were focused on the second-class apprentice.

The second-class apprentice was not too nervous and tried to walk to the door.

As he walked to the door, a "black moon" suddenly fell from the ceiling at the door, hovered in front of the second-class apprentice, and emitted a silver-white light towards him.

The apprentice was startled at first, but later when he realized that there was nothing unusual, he relaxed a little and stood quietly waiting.

After a moment, the silvery-white light disappeared, and a crack appeared under the suspended black moon. A set of standard wizard robes, a crescent-shaped gray-black badge, and a mini crystal bottle fell out of it.

The second-class apprentice hurried to catch the fallen items, especially the badge.

But when he touched the badge, he was suddenly stunned. He uncorked the mini crystal bottle without hesitation and swallowed one of the light blue gravel crystals into his mouth!

Then, without looking back, he walked to the door holding the badge.

Click.

After the corresponding door recognized the badge, it opened immediately, revealing the gray-black corridor behind it. The second-class apprentice passed through the protective shield and walked in quickly. "Hey, Naga, what did you eat?!" An apprentice who knew him asked him.

Naga did not respond, but did not move forward either. Instead, he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.

The apprentices on the field saw his performance and seemed to realize something, and someone strode towards the door on the far right.

After the same process, the new apprentice held the Black Moon Badge, his eyes suddenly lit up, and after swallowing the light blue gravel, he laughed and said:

"Moon Blue Sand... turns out to be a treasure that has no side effects and can directly increase one's spiritual power. This Black Moon Academy is really generous!"

"A treasure that increases spiritual power... Moon Blue Sand?!"

The new apprentice's words caused an uproar, and a large number of apprentices hurriedly walked towards the door on the right.

If everyone wasn't worried that fighting would bring punishment from the Tower Spirit, another melee would probably break out in the hall.

"Sir Lin, let's go over there too." Sapphire said eagerly.

Although Elena on the side was still alert, a look of desire could not be avoided in her eyes.

Treasures like this that can directly increase one's spiritual power are extremely rare... She had only seen them in books, but never in real life.

The core of the wizard's path is to constantly grow the spirit, so growing the spirit is basically equivalent to growing strength!
And increasing strength means greater power and longer life, and there is no one who would not be tempted by it!
Lin En was also tempted, but he glanced at the words on the top of the door on the far right and shook his head.

"Aren't you going?" Sapphire asked doubtfully, and Elena also gave her a doubtful look.

Lynn thought for a moment and explained:
"I plan to wait a little longer. From what I can see now, all the apprentices who went to the rightmost gate have received the Moon Blue Sand... Even if we go there later, we should be able to get the Moon Blue Sand, but we can still see if there is still any danger."

Saffei pondered for a moment, still a little worried that the Moon Blue Sand would be taken away by someone else.

"Sir Elena, are you going?"

"I plan to wait a little longer," Elena replied, looking at Lynn thoughtfully.

Sapphire hesitated for a moment, but finally endured it.

"what!"

"What's this!"

"Back off, back off quickly!"

At this time, noisy sounds came from the passage behind the door on the far right.

Several apprentices who had swallowed the Blue Sand of the Next Moon and did not choose to stay where they were to meditate, but continued to move forward, ran back in panic!

"What happened?" an apprentice asked.

"Trenlo is dead... The road ahead is blocked, it's a dead end!" said an apprentice in a deep voice.

Just a few steps forward, you will encounter a broken and dangerous space.

It was a seemingly ordinary damaged corridor with a cracked ceiling, twisted walls, and some black debris floating weightlessly in the center.

Just now, Trenlo tried to step into the corridor in front of him and continue moving forward, but as soon as he entered the corridor, he was struck by black lightning. Not to mention screaming, even his body was not left. In the blink of an eye, he turned into gray-black powder and fell to the ground.

When the apprentices saw this, they screamed and quickly retreated!

The retreating apprentice tried to cross the door and return to the previous hall while speaking, but a layer of silver-white light curtain blocked him firmly.

"Damn it!
"We are in a dead end!"

Wizard apprentices also need to eat. Now that they are trapped in such a space, death is only a matter of time.

The apprentices who were queuing in front of the rightmost door felt a chill in their hearts when they saw this situation, and they dispersed in all directions.

An apprentice who had just received the badge broke out in a cold sweat and showed a look of relief on his face. He threw the Black Moon badge to the ground.

But he didn't feel relieved for long, as a broadcast suddenly sounded.

“Those who are collecting their badges, please do not linger in the halls or passageways.

"Please continue forward and report to the corresponding location within half an hour. Otherwise, you will be forcibly deprived of your ability to move and sent back to Teleportation Square I to wait for the public security wizard to send you back."

Because the tower spirit's voice was always using the language comprehension technique, even though it only said Teleportation Square I, the apprentices present all understood where the Teleportation Square it was referring to was.

That was the square they had come to earlier...

It is also a dead end!
Moreover, they will lose their ability to move.

As the broadcast ended, the relief on the face of the apprentice who had just received the badge suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by fear.

The apprentices in the passage were not in a much better condition. They all had fear on their faces and cried out in despair.

"Luckily I didn't rush over there." Sapphire exhaled and murmured.

Lin En said nothing, but talked to himself silently.

"It says behind the door of the logistics department is a dangerous dead end... It sounds like the magic array on the road is damaged, causing energy to leak out, forming a dangerous area."

That’s right, thanks to the passive ability of his voyeuristic talent, Lin En recognized the words on the doors.

However, he still couldn't get much information.

There are two paragraphs of text on each door. The upper paragraph contains the name of the corresponding place, and the lower paragraph contains the subsidized materials that can be received.

The names from left to right are the First and Second Conquest Legions, the Fortress Guard, the Fortress Administration, and the Logistics Department.

'Which one would be safer? ' Lynn pondered secretly.

From inside the fortress administration office, cries of grief and disappointment continued to be heard.

The remaining apprentices in the hall fell silent again.

They looked at the remaining four doors, and no one dared to take the first step.

"You, go to the door on the far left!"

But at this moment, a first-class apprentice from the Serpentine Society suddenly grabbed a lone third-class wild wizard apprentice and forced him to walk towards the door representing the First Conquering Legion.

The wild wizard apprentice wanted to try to resist, but in front of a first-class apprentice, his strength was insignificant, and he couldn't even make some noise to attract the tower spirit's attention.

He screamed for help, but no one paid any attention.

Finally, the third-class apprentice had no choice but to accept his fate and arrived at the door of the First Conquering Legion.

The same black moon fell, but this time the supplies the apprentices received were different.

He obtained a witch tool in the form of a pendant.

The third-class apprentice also obtained information about supplies from the Black Moon Badge. A hint of ecstasy and even more hatred flashed in his eyes.

Without any warning, the third-class apprentice turned to face the first-class apprentice who was threatening him, and activated the pendant.

Swish!
A silvery white moon flame suddenly shot out towards the first-class apprentice.

The first-class apprentice of the Snake Society had not anticipated this attack at all, and he had moved very close to the third-class apprentice in order to control him, so he had no time to react.

The silver-white moon flame hit the head right in the middle, and its powerful force burned most of it in the blink of an eye.

puff-

The first-class apprentice suddenly fell to the ground and apparently lost his voice.

There was an uproar at the scene!

The third-class apprentice glanced at everyone and seemed to want to attack.

All the apprentices present changed color and stepped back.

Fortunately, the pendant had become dim after this attack, and it obviously needed to be recharged before it could be used. The third-class apprentice was unable to launch another attack.

"Warning, fortress member Welch has wantonly killed a person... Wrong... Wrong... Warning canceled..."

At this moment, the radio suddenly sounded.

The Black Moon Badge in Welch's hand glowed slightly, lighting up a line of light curtains, as if conveying more detailed information to him.

Lynn happened to be standing diagonally behind Welch, looking at the light curtain calmly.

"A large number of alien life forms have been detected outside the fortress. Welch, a member of the First Legion, please go to the outside world immediately and cooperate with the fortress guards to carry out the cleanup mission."

Welch couldn't understand the light curtain, but the commands from the Black Moon Badge not only opened the light curtain but also reached his mind directly.

After he understood the information, his face turned pale for a moment, but then he burst into laughter. With a look of being reborn, he walked quickly into the door and quickly disappeared around the corner.

"Hey, where does this door lead to?" someone asked subconsciously, but Welch did not answer, but just quickened his pace.

Lynn watched Welch go away, his eyes thoughtful... He seemed to understand which door was safer.

After this happened, everyone was in a stalemate again.

Even Welch appeared to be delighted.

But more people still choose to continue waiting...waiting for someone to be unable to hold back and step forward to try.

Also because of Welch, no one dared to oppress the lone apprentice anymore.

The hall fell into an eerie silence.

In the center of the fortress, the humanoid Black Moon Tower Spirit showed an impatient expression on his face.

"let me see……"

"Open the Teleport Plaza I gate."

A moment later, the Black Moon Tower Spirit issued this order.

"Warning... Invasion of alien life has been detected... Warning... The fort's internal automatic defense is about to be activated..."

"Mark it as error message!" Ta Ling frowned and used his authority to block the message.

The warning message stopped briefly, but Taring understood that the stop was only a pause.

After a short while, the warning will turn back on and become more difficult to turn off.

In the absence of a higher-level administrative wizard, it can only do this with its authority.

As a tower spirit, it has many restrictions.

On the other hand, the apprentices also discovered something wrong.

"Did you hear anything?"

"hiss!"

From the passage behind him, there was an undisguised roar from the green shadow.

"It's Green Shadow!"

"That monster is catching up!"

The apprentices present realized that something was wrong, their faces turned pale, and they ran towards the other doors.

Because they didn't get any information and couldn't understand the words on the top of the door, the apprentices could only bite the bullet and randomly choose a door to run to.

"Mr. Lin En, which one should we go to?!" asked Sapphire.

"follow me!"

There was no time for Lin En to think, he made a prompt decision and ran towards the door marked with the Fortress Administration Office!

It takes time to obtain badges, and now you can’t wait for others to explore the way for you!

However, thanks to his talent for clairvoyance, Lin En has roughly guessed the safest door.

The logistics department is a dead end. The First Conquest Corps needs to go to the outside world to assist the fortress guards in clearing out the life in the alien world, which is tantamount to committing suicide.

Excluding the above three gates, the remaining options are only the Second Conquest Corps and the Fortress Administration.

The Second Conquest Legion is obviously very similar to the First Conquest Legion, and it is very likely that it will also need to go out and clear out life from other worlds.

So the final choice is only the Fortress Administration!
　Sorry everyone, it's a little late, but this update is enough.
