Dark Wizard: Rise! My undead army!

Mary rode alone on a bone horse, speeding away in a direction far from the academy, as if she were on a mission.

Her appearance was clearly a disguise; she used superb makeup skills to create the look of a pretty young girl.

But the "stupidity" in her bones could not be hidden no matter what.

After she put on makeup, she did bear a resemblance to Eileen, who had long since disappeared from the public eye.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard Mary tried to imitate her, she couldn't replicate Eileen's aloofness.

In particular, the pride that Eileen exudes is something that a sycophantic "little woman" like her could never imitate.

Unfortunately... in the Dark Wizard Academy, being aloof and proud doesn't bring much advantage; on the contrary, people like Mary are able to live longer.

At this moment, Mary looked pitiful, truly a sight to behold.

However, judging from her cautious and apprehensive look around, she seemed quite guilty, as if she was worried that someone might suddenly jump out and kill her.

At Megatron's speed, he would soon run into Mary head-on, but Lynn did not choose to take a detour.

Why should we take a detour?

She's just a stupid woman with low talent; what's so scary about her? Mary wasn't in a good mood at the moment.

Since his identity was exposed, he has become a "celebrity" in the academy.

Those lecherous bastards who used to harass me like mad dogs now keep their distance, as if they're afraid I'll tear them apart.

This completely thwarted her "resource plundering plan".

No one is willing to team up with her anymore, and now she has to go out alone to do that damned "monthly mandatory mission".

Now she's considering whether she should pay a price to get a new face.

Face swapping isn't a difficult task for the "Bone Spire," as some "flesh and blood modification" shops in Ghost Market offer this service.

However, you must choose a shop with excellent craftsmanship and a good reputation, otherwise you might go in alive but not come out alive.

In the end, instead of getting a face transplant, your own organs will become "products" in the store.

Suddenly, Mary, who was deep in thought, heard a series of rumbling sounds approaching from afar.

She became alert and quickly looked up.

A massive, dark golden bone beast rapidly enlarged in the field of vision with overwhelming power, and a human dressed in an apprentice wizard's robe sat on the bone beast.

The figure appeared somewhat small in front of the behemoth that was over twenty meters long, and its specific appearance was not clearly visible.

Mary was startled. This bone beast... was actually an apprentice's mount?!

She had carefully studied all the renowned apprentices in the academy, but she had never heard of anyone whose mount was such a massive sub-dragon bone beast...

At that moment, Mary suddenly remembered the story of the "skeleton dragon" faithfully saving the Lord that had been circulating for some time, and she suddenly realized something.

Could this be the legendary "guardian" dragon? I heard its owner is named... Lynn?

Mary's heart skipped a beat when the name came to mind.

Is that Lynn I know?

He...has also reached the third-level apprenticeship?

Seeing the bone beast charging menacingly, Mary dared not block its path and quickly moved aside to make way for it.

Now that it's uncertain whether the person above is Lynn, it's best not to provoke such a powerful apprentice.

As for escaping...

If the other party really wanted to pursue her, her level 2 bone horse wouldn't be able to escape at all.

It's better to just be a background character.

Meanwhile, Mary's eyes were fixed on the tiny figure, trying to make out his face.

Soon, Megatron was less than thirty meters away from her, and Mary finally got what she wanted.

It really was Lynn!

This discovery sparked something in Mary's mind.

Lynn was the target he had long coveted; his superior soul talent was unique in the entire "Bone Spire Academy".

Unfortunately, this guy seems to be a eunuch, and no matter how I try to seduce him, he won't take the bait.

Lynn has kept a very low profile in the academy for the past two years, rarely showing his face, and it seems that he was exposed after he was seriously injured.

He probably hasn't heard of his own reputation as "Bloody Mary," has he?

With my current masterful seductive skills...

If you spend just half a day with him, I don't believe you can't win him over!

Having made up her mind, Mary decisively took out "makeup remover" from the skeletal ring and splashed it on her face, quickly starting the makeup removal process.

Lynn was puzzled by Mary's inexplicable behavior.

Why is this stupid woman washing her face in public?

As Megatron took a few big strides to close the final thirty meters, Mary had already removed her makeup at lightning speed, revealing her true face.

Seeing that Megatron was about to walk past her, she gritted her teeth and stood right where he was standing, shouting loudly:

"Lord Lynn... What a coincidence to meet you here."

Megatron originally intended to crush this ignorant "ant" blocking his way with one kick, but unexpectedly, she called out her master's name.

After a slight hesitation, Megatron managed to dodge at the last second, sparing her life.

Even so, the moment Megatron's giant foot landed, it still stirred up violent waves and dust, instantly turning Mary's freshly washed, fair face into a "potato".

Mary choked on the smoke and coughed violently a few times, but her face relaxed considerably.

Lynn had won his gamble; he still couldn't bring himself to kill her.

Indeed, after all, the two are considered "sworn brothers," having both defied fate in Blackswamp City to arrive in this wizarding world.

According to the usual storybook plot, the two should be supporting each other and walking together through this dark wizarding academy.

Unfortunately... I ran into a eunuch...

Megatron slammed on the brakes and came to a stop. Lynn looked at Mary, who was "risking her life to block the way," with great interest, unable to figure out what was going on in this woman's mind.

Mary was right; Lynn was indeed unaware of her nickname, "Bloody Mary."

Before being drawn into the war, Lynn rarely appeared in public and rarely interacted with others, except for the ossuary and canteen.

He wasn't very familiar with the ups and downs of the academy, except for his "cheap senior" Field, who had returned a few times and brought him a lot of gossip.

In the past two years, Field has also successfully broken through to the third-class apprentice level, and with the support of his strength, he has become even more flamboyant.

Fortunately, he also had a good skill in repairing tools and crafting undead, so he lived a relatively comfortable life.

Lynn last saw him six months ago. It is said that one of his girlfriends is pregnant and is now searching for him.

I hope he can be a good father.

Hmm... As for Gregor's other two apprentices, Lynn hasn't seen them even once in the past two years.

It's unclear whether he died out there or simply lost all hope in Gregor and cut off all contact with him.

Anyway, Gregor didn't care, and he was happy to have some peace and quiet. If everyone caused trouble like Lynn, what would be the point of his experiments?
