Sword Sorcery

Chapter 108 Sphinx
The sound of splashing water gradually came, and the sound became more and more clear!
All the students shuddered in an instant, like ducks whose necks had been strangled, stopped talking nonsense, and looked at the dark swamp covered in a thick white fog.

After waiting for a while, the sound of water paddling suddenly stopped. The entire black swamp shrouded in white mist seemed to be dead, and there was no more sound.

"Gudu."

Each and every student couldn't help swallowing, and some of them didn't dare to move from each other.

Aaron saw this scene, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were fixed on the dark swamp shrouded in white mist, as if he had discovered some secret.

Unfortunately, some people just don't wink.

When Ferdinand saw that all the other students were standing motionless, especially when he saw Aaron standing still and waiting, he immediately snorted coldly and said deliberately in a voice that Aaron and others could hear. One sentence: "Coward~!"

Then Ferdinand took a deep breath, boldly walked towards a dark swamp shrouded in white mist, intending to see what was going on, while Andrew and Marshall followed behind him with some hesitation.

Sophia and Daisy frowned immediately. They originally planned to remind them out of kindness, but Ferdinand's obvious actions against Aaron really made them feel a little uncomfortable——Mrs. Ferdinand Too petty.

So, they glanced at Aaron, and found that he was still standing there with a calm expression on his face. The two looked at each other, and they were relieved for a while—anyway, there was no accident, and Aaron, the "official knight" 'Put it in front, no matter what, it's not the turn of the two girls to step up to the cylinder.

As a result, Andrew and Marshall shrank back very shamelessly, and Ferdinand was the only one who approached the Black Swamp, but this guy had to pretend to be a 'hard man', deliberately showing himself Show your 'courage' to those female students.

puff~!

A bubble suddenly appeared in the Black Swamp, which made Ferdinand's calf tremble in fright. Fortunately, he immediately covered it up. Moreover, Ferdinand found that there seemed to be nothing strange in this swamp, so he couldn't help but "loud 'road:

"What's there to be afraid of"

Before he finished speaking, a skinny hand suddenly stretched out from the swamp and grabbed onto Ferdinand's legs——

"Ah~!!!!"

Ferdinand was so frightened that his voice changed tone, and he completely turned into a 'rooster' whose neck was strangled. A sharp and ear-piercing cry suddenly resounded over the entire Misty Swamp.

At the same time, pools of water-colored marks suddenly appeared on Ferdinand's crotch, and a light yellow liquid flowed down his thighs directly to the bottom, tearing the dry palm that was holding onto his ankle. It was also wet, and a strong foul smell also wafted out along with it.
Apparently Ferdinand was literally pissed off—literally, literally 'pissed off'.

"Oh~, what the hell~! This guy actually pissed himself in fright!"

A voice of exasperation sounded, and a middle-aged man with a hooked nose crawled out of the black swamp and walked slowly onto the flat ground, with an expression of undisguised annoyance on his face—because his hands Already covered with that pale yellow liquid.

Apparently, this middle-aged man with hooked nose didn't expect Ferdinand to be so frightened that he 'pissed' directly.

"Quack quack quack~, Willard, you always like to scare those new apprentices, so you've made yourself suffer?"

A mocking voice came, but a huge figure loomed in the thick white fog ahead——

It has the head of an eagle, the body of a lion, and a pair of feather-like wings. The most amazing thing is that its lower body is covered with fish scales, which makes people feel weird and weird.

"Enough, Sphinx, if you don't shut up that stinky mouth"

"What can you do to me if I don't shut you up? Willard, do you want to fight me?!"

The strange monster called the "Sphinx" by the middle-aged people opened its eagle beak and made a sharp mocking sound, causing Willard's withered face to turn red, but he couldn't utter a word. Come.

Obviously, Willard can't beat this 'Sphinx'.

It seems that this 'Sphinx' is a powerful monster comparable to an official wizard - this is also the first time Aaron has seen a monster comparable to an official wizard.

In the past, the so-called monsters on the Forgotten Continent were at most formal knights. According to the information about wizards that Aaron learned, the most powerful knights were to deal with existences at the level of "wizards".

An official wizard is enough to easily obliterate a team of more than a dozen peak knights. It can be seen how powerful and terrifying an official wizard is!
Aaron was not surprised by the appearance of Willard and Sphinx, because before they showed up, Aaron had detected two huge radiation sources in front through the chip detection——the radiation intensity shown by Carmen’s mentor approximate.

At present, the chip cannot analyze the composition of mysterious energy, but it can detect the powerful radiation emanating from the 'official wizard' level - just like a beast does not understand the structure of sunlight, but can feel the temperature of sunlight.

Of course, it is limited to the radiation of 'official wizard' level, and the radiation of 'wizard' level is obviously much smaller, so the chip cannot be directly 'detected and scanned' to find it, it must be detected by close-range 'data scanning'.

"Okay, I don't want to quarrel with you, as long as you don't talk about it"

Instructor Willard's tone obviously softened a lot. It seems that he really can't beat this 'Sphinx', and instead begged it not to leak this matter.

It's a pity that the Sphinx's temper is quite 'bad'. The huge and ferocious eagle shook its head and mocked: "Don't worry, I guarantee that everyone in the academy will have something more interesting to talk about after dinner."

"Pfft~!"

A male student couldn't help laughing, but seeing Willard snort coldly, his eyes swept over, and a terrifying mental force spread out, directly pressing the male student to the ground , and even the same bad situation of 'incontinence' occurred.

Instructor Willard has nothing to do with Sphinx, but it doesn't mean he can't do anything with other students - only the existence of the same level can talk and laugh with each other, otherwise it will be a dead end.

"Come with me~ Freshmen are right, that damned 'bird thing' is the gatekeeper of the Misty Swamp, you can just call it Lord Sphinx from now on."

Obviously, Willard didn't want to see the smug expression of Sphinx anymore, and gave instructions to everyone.

Then, Willard glared fiercely at Ferdinand, and attributed the reason for his embarrassment to him, which made the latter tremble in fright, and almost made a fool of himself again.

"Let's go~!"

Willard shook his head in disdain, turned around and walked towards the vast expanse of the Black Swamp, exactly the same as when he appeared—he was directly 'swallowed' by the Black Swamp!

Seeing this, the students started to look at each other in blank dismay, a little afraid to follow up, but saw Aaron stepping up without hesitation, and when passing by Ferdinand, he left an indifferent sentence——

"Coward~"

The familiar words made Ferdinand, who was already very embarrassing and conspicuous, as if he had been stripped naked and paraded through the street, blushing with shame, wishing that there was no hole in the ground for himself to drill into.

Seeing this situation, Sophia and Daisy shook their heads helplessly. After looking at each other, they chose to follow Aaron and walked over, while the others followed after seeing this.

In the end, only Ferdinand was left standing on the shore wearing a pair of 'soaked' trousers with a flushed face
As soon as Aaron stepped into the swamp, he felt as if he had stepped into an inflatable capsule. The unexpected muddy water rushed to his face, and all the muddy water was repelled from the range of one centimeter around him, like a bubble wrapping himself Diving into the middle of the swamp, you can even clearly see the muddy water flowing outside the bubbles!

This scene is simply miraculous and strange, and one can't help feeling
This swamp seems to have its own life and consciousness!
