I returned to my hometown after winning the koi lottery.

Professor Howard's eyes widened and he waved his wand.

The tree began to make noises in a language no one could understand, squeaking and looking very angry.

Professor Howard ignored it and directly took out a piece of gas from the trunk of the tree as if he was sucking something.

I saw the big tree shaking, as if it was being beaten, and it let out miserable screams.

Alice couldn't help but stand a little further away.

Professor Howard didn't pay attention to the big tree. He just waved his hand lightly, and saw the gas transform into an image.

A Li Fugui Miller was mumbling the contents of the magic book as if he was reciting it.

He carried the book on his back while walking, a true good student. This impressed the teachers from several nearby magic schools.

He is really a good boy and so hardworking. No wonder Professor Howard is so concerned about him. For this child, he does not hesitate to offend the tree demon. You should know that this tree demon was planted by the earliest dean himself, and he is also considered a veteran of the magic academy.

A black shadow flashed, and now everyone saw that a black-robed magician appeared and took Li Fugui Miller away in an instant. The boy didn't show any ability to resist at all.

Who was this person? No one could see his face clearly. Even zooming in on the image to its maximum didn't yield any useful information. It was Miss Alice who saw it. Although the other person was wearing a black robe, in a fleeting moment, Alice saw a pattern on his robe. It was vague and indistinct, a bit like a snake, and a bit like a piece of text. She had no idea what it was.

Everyone quickly drew the pattern and prepared to look up some information. Alice pulled Teacher Emma and asked to go with them.

Several magicians in charge of security came to the library of the Magic Academy and asked everyone to help find more information about this unknown black-robed magician and "Eastern Magic".

The library of the Magic Academy is a magnificent and mysterious building that houses countless precious magic books and documents, covering knowledge from the ancient origins of magic to various modern magical schools.

A group of them found an ancient magic book deep in the library, which recorded some legends about the mysterious great magician.

It is said that this great magician has been looking for a powerful force that can subvert the world's magical order, and the "Eastern magic" in Miller may be the key to his dream.

However, there are only a few words in the classics about the specific information of "Eastern Magic", and the details are not detailed.

Teacher Alice and Emma were not discouraged. They continued to look through book after book in the library, hoping to find more useful clues.

After several days and nights of unremitting efforts, they finally found a clue about the castle.

This castle was once the stronghold of an evil magician. It is said that many powerful magic treasures and mysterious magic circles are hidden inside. The great magician may have used the magical power in the castle to hide the whereabouts of himself and Miller.

Alice and Emma quickly took the information to find Professor Howard.

Professor Howard took a closer look and realized it was indeed the mark of the Moon Shadow faction. He decided to go to the castle to find out.

Miss Alice and Teacher Emma decided to go with Professor Howard. They carefully prepared various magic props and protective spells and embarked on this dangerous journey.

Along the way, the route here was really not easy. They encountered various magic traps and monster attacks, but with their wisdom and courage, they escaped danger time and time again.

When they finally reached the foot of the castle, a powerful magical force washed over them. Professor Howard took a deep breath. Capturing the castle was truly impossible. They could only wait and see. Rescuing the kidnapped Richard Miller was the most important thing.

The castle gate was tightly closed, engraved with complex magical runes, emitting a dangerous aura.

Professor Howard cast a powerful unlocking spell in an attempt to open the castle gate.

After a fierce battle of magic, the door slowly opened, and an old and mysterious atmosphere came to the face.

Alice and Teacher Emma followed Professor Howard and walked into the castle cautiously, vigilantly observing every move around them.

The inside of the castle was eerie and filled with the smell of death.

They walked along a narrow corridor, the torches on the walls flickering faintly, as if they would go out at any moment.

Suddenly, a sinister laughter echoed in the castle, and then a group of ghosts rushed out from all directions, rushing towards them with bared fangs and claws.

Alice and teacher Emma quickly hid aside, and Professor Howard cast magic to fight back. For a moment, the magical light and the roar of ghosts were intertwined, and the scene was very chaotic.

After repelling the ghost, they continued to go deeper into the castle and finally found Richard Miller imprisoned in the dungeon.

Miller's body was very weak, but there was a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Alice and Teacher Emma quickly removed the magical restraints on Miller and prepared to take him out of the castle.

However, just as they were about to leave the castle, the great magician suddenly appeared. His eyes were filled with anger and greed, and the wand in his hand flashed with powerful magic. A fierce magic duel was about to begin...

The great magician waved his wand, and a black lightning bolt struck Alice and the others.

Seeing this, Professor Howard immediately cast a magic shield to block the lightning.

Teacher Emma took the opportunity to launch a powerful magic flame at the great magician. The flame was like an angry dragon, pouncing on the great magician with its fangs and claws bared.

The great magician sneered, waved his wand lightly, and the flames were blown away by a powerful magic force.

He muttered something, and the ground began to shake violently. Sharp stone pillars broke out from the ground and stabbed towards Alice and others.

Professor Howard quickly cast a levitation spell, carrying Teacher Emma and Alice into the air and avoiding the attack of the stone pillars.

Then, he put his hands together and chanted an ancient spell. A powerful beam of magic light shot out from his hands and went straight towards the great magician.

The great magician did not dare to underestimate this beam of light. He concentrated his magic power and formed a magic barrier in front of him.

The beam collided with the barrier with a loud bang, and the powerful impact shattered the surrounding walls.

During the fierce battle, Professor Howard suddenly discovered a flaw in the great magician.

He seized the opportunity and cast a powerful confinement spell without hesitation. A golden light instantly enveloped the great magician.

The great magician struggled hard, but could not break free from the constraints of magic.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Professor Howard asked Teacher Emma to take Richard Miller and Alice out of the castle quickly.

They ran all the way until they were sure that the great magician could not catch up, and then they stopped.

Miller looked at Alice and teacher Emma with gratitude. He knew that without their help, he might never be able to escape the clutches of the great magician.

This experience made them more deeply aware of the dangers and mysteries of the magical world, and also made their friendship more indestructible.

After returning to the magic academy, Richard Miller began to concentrate on studying the "Eastern magic" in himself. He hoped to master this powerful force and contribute his own part to protecting the magical world.

Alice and teacher Emma also assisted him in exploring the mysteries of magic together.

In the days to come, they will face more challenges and adventures, but they believe that as long as they unite as one, nothing can stop them from moving forward.

The story of the magical world continues, and their legend has just begun...
