Set up a funeral service team in a foreign land

"Wish you a safe journey."

In front of the huge teleportation array, Alonso waved goodbye to them: "I'll wait for you to come back!"

Elder Kainte, who succeeded the clan leader, looked at Iloven and said calmly, "Our tree people's teleportation array can only send you to the vicinity of the Isolde Mountains, and cannot enter the dragon clan's territory. Be careful on the way back."

Iloven nodded: "Thank you for your reminder. The Tree People are busy with many things right now, so we can't bother them any more. I'll take my leave now. After the trade fair is over, we will come back and take Alonso to the academy."

"Okay, see you later then."

Kainte watched them disappear into the teleportation array.

"Grandpa Cainte, do we need to prepare anything for going to Damocles?" Alonso asked Elder Cainte, who seemed to be in a trance, with eager eyes.

He came back to his senses, patted Alonso on the head with a smile and said: "Just be mentally prepared."

"?"

What kind of mental preparation?

Alonso looked confused and bewildered.

Damocles Academy.

library.

The painter behind the counter was flipping through the pages of a book out of boredom. When she couldn't bear to read any more, she turned around to admire the beautiful winter scenery of the falling snow outside: "The snow is getting a bit heavy... eh?"

She stood up suddenly and looked nervously at the woman who suddenly appeared at the door.

She was wearing a gorgeous black gauze dress with beads scattered on it like stars. Her long hair fell to her waist, exuding a mysterious temperament. The lavender glasses on her nose were exquisite and unique, adding a hint of indescribable elegance.

"Kay... Professor Katherine."

Catherine nodded gently: "I came to find my students."

"?" Hua Mei turned her head and looked at the empty library, slightly stunned.

Catherine looked up at the second floor. Hua Mei followed her gaze and suddenly shuddered: "No way?!" A student ran in?

Damn it! This is really a slacking accident. Will the director and the dean scold her to death later?

Catherine waved her hand: "Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you. After all, you have to get his permission before you can go in."

She lifted her skirt and went up to the second floor, walked to the end of the corridor, and stopped in front of a door.

Complex ancient animal patterns appear on the old wooden door, carrying an indescribable sense of majesty.

Catherine paused, bowed slightly, and spoke softly but with a firm attitude: "Can you send my student out?"

After a moment, the door creaked open slowly, and a slender hand with distinct joints came into view.

"Old...teacher..."

The girl staggered out, holding onto the door frame with her left hand, and pulled off the visor covering her eyes with her right hand. Her pair of black pupils without whites looked straight at them.

Blood filled the black pupils, silently overflowing from the eye sockets, then flowing over the cheeks, and finally dripping from the chin drop by drop.

Her face was as pale as a ghost, and she covered her lips with one hand, with blood spreading between her fingers.

"I go?!"

This bloody and weak appearance really frightened Hua Mei so much that she took two steps back, unable to hide the shock on her face.

Li Chu covered his mouth with blood and said with a smile: "Teacher, I have seen the 'truth'..."

Catherine frowned and looked the girl up and down, took a deep breath, suppressed the rage in her heart and interrupted her words: "Really, does he want you to die?!"

"'Truth' is not something you should touch right now!"

"Do you know how many astrologers died from this?!"

"The Forbidden Library... cough, it's destined to be with me. Fate has come, cough cough... there's nothing I can do." Li Chu tried his best to calm the disordered original power and stabilize his state.

"..."

She hates it most when humans talk to her about fate!

Catherine sighed and raised her hand to touch her forehead: "You are such a ..."

She thought for a few seconds but couldn't find the words to describe it. Finally, she said helplessly: "I'll take you to find Agatha. If you continue like this, you'll probably die in a foreign land."

"It's okay, teacher. I won't die." Li Chu wiped his face with his sleeves, saying calmly, "Besides, Professor Agatha is not in the academy now."

When she mentioned Agatha, she looked up at the ceiling without any focus: "Teacher, how can we prevent his doom?"

Catherine paused and said softly, "You can't stop it, and I won't change it, Xiao Lichu. This is his fate."

Li Chu leaned against the door frame and fell into a long silence.

the other side.

"The original power of the Dark Night Canyon is rich. It is far away from the territories of the major tribes. There are many spiritual medicinal herbs growing here. Some of them have reached a considerable level of life and need to be negotiated, especially the Dark Night Spider Orchid, which is a specialty here..."

Three thousand miles away from the City of No Return, a river flows by, leaving a valley. There are lush forests on both sides of the river. A small boat drifts slowly on the water.

On the boat were Professor Agatha and a group of students. At this time, she was leading a dozen first-year students in field teaching.

Her eyes swept across a group of "little rascals" and finally landed on Zhong Heng, who was obviously daydreaming.

"What are you thinking about, Zhongheng? Don't be absent-minded."

Agatha gently criticized by name.

Zhong Heng suddenly came back to his senses: "I'm sorry, Professor, I was distracted just now."

He just remembered Li Chu's advice to him not to leave the academy in the near future. Now he was already thousands of miles away from the academy.

"Well, as punishment, you have to introduce the Night Spider Orchid to everyone."

Agatha smiled gently.

Zhong Heng was stunned for a moment, feeling dozens of gazes falling on him. He was silent for two seconds, then answered Agatha's question fluently.

"Night Spider Orchid, also known as the Carrion Spider, can reach the highest level of Legendary life. Dean Shi Xiuyue's "Foreign Herbal Illustrated Book" records that the Night Spider Orchid has flowers but no leaves. The flowers are shaped like spiders and are extremely poisonous. It mostly lives in swamps and will take root in rotten corpses to grow, which is also the origin of its alias. The Night Spider Orchid is the main ingredient of the Bone Erosion Pill and is also an auxiliary medicine for some eighth-level medicinal pills."

"Wow, Zhong Heng is amazing. He knows all this!"

"Have you learned some knowledge beyond the syllabus?"

"Hey, he's really been hanging out with humans for too long, he's got this damn bad habit!"

Many students' faces broke after hearing Zhong Heng's answer and they felt deeply tired.

Zhong Heng had no expression on his face.

Agatha chuckled and was about to say something when a burst of crisp applause came from afar.

"Pah, pah, pah."

"It's a very good seedling. No wonder it caught his eye."

Agatha frowned slightly, and the tenderness in her eyes quickly disappeared like the tide. She looked up at the source of the voice.

In the air ahead, a young man with silver hair, ponytail and bloodshot eyes clapped his hands and spoke words of praise with a calm attitude.

She raised her hand to push the snowy hair behind her ears and said softly, "Carlisle Nolan."

"Are you sure you want to trouble me?"

Carlisle Nolan paused. It was an unwise choice to conflict with the alchemist.

"I have no intention of making an enemy of you. I have only one purpose for this trip. Hand over Zhong Heng to me, and you and your other students can leave safely." He sighed, his expression serious and his tone sincere.

Agatha said calmly: "Are you threatening me?"

"Whatever you think is right."

She watched Carlisle Nolan draw out his slender sword, curled her lips, and raised her hand to slowly untie her hair.

"You can't take any of my students away."

The tone is light and soft.

"What if I'm included, Professor Agatha?"

The woman's clear and gentle voice was like soft catkins, floating over lightly.

Professor Agatha turned around suddenly. Behind them, there was a woman with pointed ears and silver hair. She was wearing tight clothes and holding a silver-blue longbow. She closed one eye, drew the bow and arrow, and the tip of the arrow was silently aimed at them.

"The Ninth Oathbearer, Keshia." Agatha's face sank slightly. This was the second defector from the elves after Irovin's father.

"You are not afraid of being hunted by the elves, but you still dare to show up?"

The other party laughed and sighed, his voice as cold as snowflakes: "I'm scared. But there's nothing I can do. Who told me that I owe Carlisle a huge favor?"

Otherwise, she would not have participated in an action that would not benefit her at all.

"Leave that elementary school student to us. We really don't want to do anything to you." Agatha is not on the same level as that little guy. It will be very troublesome to take action against her.

Elementary school student Bunsheng: "..."

Tsk, who are you talking about? ! How can there be such an rude elf in the elf tribe! !

Zhong Heng walked to Agatha's side and looked up at them, his face cold and gloomy: "I have heard of the two traitors for a long time. It is an honor to meet you today."

"I am Zhongheng."
