After two hours, the door to the cell suddenly opened and a middle-aged man in a gray robe walked in.
This middle-aged man's grey robe was also covered with many runes. Behind him were two guards of this cell respectfully. It was obvious that this person's status was not low.
"Judging from his attire, he seems to be a teacher of the School of Runes!" The middle-aged man beside Linlong exclaimed in a low voice.
Because he had spent most of his time in the Hengduan Mountain Range, he naturally had a good understanding of the Ash Cloud School of Runes.
Teacher, huh. Linlong could not help but size up the middle-aged man in gray robes a few more times after hearing the other party's words.
At this moment, the two guards led the middle-aged man in the gray robe towards them.
After sweeping his gaze across Linlong and the middle-aged man, the middle-aged man in the gray robe arrived outside the girl in black's cell.
This is? Linlong faintly felt that something was wrong.
The middle-aged man in the gray robe did not speak, but one of the two guards said to the girl in black, "Miss, we will change your cell."
"Change what cell? Can't you just let me out? "The girl in black frowned.
"This … there is no such precedent in our School of Runes. The reason we are changing your cell is because you are a woman," the guard said again.
The girl in black wanted to say something, but the middle-aged man in the gray robe gave her a look, so she did not say anything.
After that, the two of them opened the door of the black-clothed girl's cell and brought her to another cell.
The other cell was also here, but its location was rather unique. No one could see it, and the facilities inside were clearly better than the other cells.
After bringing the girl in black here, the middle-aged man in the gray robe said to the two guards, "You two can leave."
The two guards immediately walked out. The middle-aged man in the gray robe was a teacher of the School of Runes, so they did not dare to offend him. As long as he did not bring the girl in black out, they could agree to any request.
Seeing that there was no one around, the middle-aged man in the gray robe suddenly knelt on one knee and said respectfully to the girl in black, "Greetings, Miss!"
The reason why this middle-aged man had come was naturally because of the report from the person who had discovered that there was something wrong with the black-clothed girl's identity. Otherwise, he would not have thought that the black-clothed girl of noble status would break into the Runes Academy and be arrested by the law enforcement team.
"Who are you?" The black-clothed girl frowned.
"My name is Hao Feng Lan. I have just become a tutor of the Runes Faculty not long ago," the middle-aged man in the grey robe said respectfully.
"Is that so? Then hurry up and bring me out of this damned place … Hmm, bring the kid beside me out with you," the black-clothed girl said.
"Miss, I'm afraid that's not possible." Hearing the black clothed girl's words, the corner of Hao Fenglan's mouth twitched.
"What's wrong? Aren't you a mentor? You can't even do this?" The black-clothed girl frowned even deeper.
"Although this subordinate is a teacher, I don't have much authority … There's another problem. You were brought in by that Zhou Lengtong. That person is known as the Cold Magistrate and doesn't care about feelings at all. Otherwise, I could have brought you in easily." Hao Fenglan said with a bitter expression.
Without needing Hao Fenglan to say it, the black-clothed girl knew that she was talking about Senior Sister Zhou.
The black-clothed girl couldn't help but say, "That Zhou Lengtong seems to be merely a disciple of the Runes Faculty. As a mentor, don't tell me you're afraid of her?"
"The person behind her is the Enforcement Elder of the Runes Faculty. That old fellow also doesn't care about feelings," Hao Fenglan said.
"Since it's like this, call Elder Miao De over!" The black-clothed girl said coldly.
"Miss, it was Elder Miao De who called me over." Hao Fenglan smiled bitterly.
"According to what you're saying, Elder Miao De can't compare to this Enforcement Elder?"
"Of course not. It's just that Elder Miao De doesn't care about the Enforcement Hall, so he has no way of interfering with the matters of the Enforcement Hall." Hao Fenglan said.
"Then you're going to watch as they send me into that ten vertical ravine?" The black-clothed girl sneered.
"Cough cough …" Hao Fenglan coughed dryly, then said, "Miss, there are only some rank one Fierce Beasts in that place. Moreover, this subordinate has already made preparations before coming here."
As he spoke, he took out a wooden sword from his body. This wooden sword had strange runes drawn on it.
"I don't know the runes of your Runes Faculty. What's the use of giving this to me?" The black-clothed girl frowned.
"Miss, this is not an ordinary rune wooden sword. There is energy sealed within it. Even if you don't know the runes of our Runes Faculty, you can still use it. With it, you can easily deal with the Fierce Beasts in the ten vertical ravine." Hao Fenglan said.
"Is this true?" The black-clothed girl's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course it's true." Hao Fenglan nodded, then pointed at the rune wooden sword and began to explain in detail how to use it.
After a while, the black-clothed girl finally understood how to use this rune wooden sword.
"However, you must never let others know about this wooden sword. If they do, then it'll be troublesome. If the people of the Runes Faculty find out and want to take your wooden sword away, you must activate the Rune of Destruction and destroy it!" Hao Fenglan said.
"Why is that?" The black-clothed girl asked doubtfully.
"Because this rune sword is made by our faculty. If it's discovered, the lightest punishment is to be thrown into the dungeon and banished from the country. If it's discovered, it'll result in immediate death! "Hao Fenglan said solemnly." This was personally made by Elder Miao De in fear that Miss would encounter trouble in the ten vertical ravine. If it's discovered and traced back to Elder Miao De, he won't be able to escape punishment even if he has a different status. "
Hearing his words, the black-clothed girl nodded. "Seeing that you've tried your best, I won't pursue this matter."
"Thank you, Miss." Hao Fenglan hurriedly said.
Only after this would he leave this place.
Throughout the entire process, the two of them spoke very softly. They thought that the people around them could not hear them, but who would have thought that their words were basically heard by Linlong.
Although Linlong's divine will was greatly suppressed after entering this strange rune array, his divine will was too strong, so he could still hear the conversation between the two of them.
If they were outside, the black-clothed girl and the man would not dare to speak in such a volume at such a distance. But in here, they were at ease.
They did not expect Linlong to be someone with an extremely strong divine will.
Seeing that Hao Fenglan had left, Linlong could not help but frown. Because the black-clothed girl had the rune sword, the situation was not in his favor. He did not need to think to know that the black-clothed girl would definitely seize every opportunity to deal with him tomorrow.
Tomorrow, I have to stay away from this woman. It's best to stay away from her right from the start. Otherwise, it'll be troublesome if she gets close to me, Linlong thought to himself.
After that, nothing else happened. Soon, it was the next day. On the second day, someone came to bring Linlong and the others to the ten vertical ravine.
After walking out of the slightly densely packed houses and a short distance, they arrived at the ten vertical ravine.
From afar, Linlong could only see a flat piece of land with a circumference of three to four miles. When he got closer, he finally understood why this place was called the ten vertical ravine.
This was because there were many crisscrossing ravines in this area. These ravines were three to four feet wide and seven to eight feet deep. There were no trees growing on them, but when he looked down, he saw lush trees growing below. However, the trees below were not very tall.
Hence, it looked like a piece of flat land from afar.
"This is the ten vertical ravine. You will enter it later. There are many first-class fierce beasts inside. No matter what method you use, as long as you can stay inside until this time tomorrow, you will be able to leave this place."
"After you leave this place, we will send you out of the Runes Faculty. Of course, if you feel that you have the ability to study runes, you can also participate in the assessment. If you are recognized by our faculty's instructors, you will be able to enter our faculty as a disciple!"
One of the people who brought them here said. There were seven or eight people in total, and most of them had copper swords on them. Only the person who spoke to them had an iron sword. It was obvious that he was stronger than the others. "That's right. That's right.
As for Senior Sister Zhou, although she also carried a sword, Linlong could not tell what kind of sword it was. Hence, he did not know her approximate strength.
Hao Fenglan, the middle-aged man in a gray robe, was the same.
After a while, another group of people was brought over. It was obvious that these people were locked up in another place.
Linlong counted. Apart from the people from the Runes Faculty, there were a total of more than 40 people.
"Alright, I will give you the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. After that, you will enter the ten vertical ravine," the person from before said.
Then, he brought the other people from the Runes Faculty to the side. Although there were few people from the Runes Faculty, they were not afraid of Linlong and the others because they had rune swords with them.
As soon as these people left, the middle-aged man that Linlong recognized yesterday pulled Linlong to their side.
These people were all strong and healthy people.
"Little brother Linlong, these people are friends I just met. I have already discussed with them to deal with the fierce beasts inside," the middle-aged man said with a smile.
Linlong already knew his name yesterday. His surname was Zhao Ding.
"Greetings, big brothers." Linlong cupped his hands.
"Little brother, you are welcome. You are Big brother Zhao's friend, so of course you are our friend too," the few people said with a smile.
"Little brother, my surname is Xie, and my name is Gao Yang," one of them said.
This person was in his twenties, and Linlong could tell that the others followed his lead.
"Greetings, big brother Xie," Linlong said with a smile.
During this process, the girl in black happened to be at the side, but she did not say a word. She had a calm expression on her face.
When the time was up, the people from the Runes Faculty immediately walked over. The person from before said, "Time's up. You can enter the ravine now!"
After saying that, he walked to a ravine in front of him and finally muttered something. After a while, he suddenly took out the iron sword in his hand and stabbed it downwards.
With this stab, something seemed to be stabbed open in the ravine. Although Linlong could not see what it was, he did not need to think to know that there was a runic array on the ravine. The other party did this to open the barrier so that they could enter.
Sure enough, in the next moment, the person said, "Alright, you can come over and go down now."
Linlong and the others hurriedly walked over.
Zhao Ding was the first to jump down, and the others followed behind him. Linlong did not jump down immediately. He only jumped down after the girl in black.
The reason was simple. He wanted to jump as far away from the girl in black as possible to avoid being attacked by her runic wooden sword.
Below them was the junction of a few ravines, so it was very wide.
Once he jumped down, Linlong could use his divine will to discover that there seemed to be two ferocious beasts behind a rock in one of the ravines.
He did not know whether it was because they had more people or something else, but the two ferocious beasts did not move.
And from the situation of the surrounding people, they did not notice the existence of the two ferocious beasts.
Heading in this direction was undoubtedly the way to leave the girl in black. Hence, once he confirmed this, Linlong immediately rushed towards the ravine.
At this moment, the girl in black who had landed first noticed his figure. Seeing him rush towards one of the ravines, she immediately followed closely behind him.
Her place was not small, and she was afraid that she would not be able to find Linlong after he escaped.
She had already decided to wait for this brat to come down and immediately attack him. Why did it seem like he could predict the future? With such a surprise, the girl in black followed closely behind Linlong.
What she did not expect was that just as she rushed into the ravine, the two ferocious beasts that were previously hiding behind the rock immediately flashed out and blocked in front of her.
It was not because the two ferocious beasts did not attack Linlong, but because they did not react when Linlong rushed over. By the time they reacted, the girl in black was already in front of them, so they naturally blocked in front of her.
These were two snow-white apes. Once they saw the girl in black approaching, they immediately bared their fangs and brandished their claws at her.
The girl in black hurriedly retreated. Although the runic wooden sword on her could deal with these two ferocious beasts, the people from the Rune Academy were obviously still above her. How could she expose her runic wooden sword?
As she retreated, the two apes immediately chased after her. From the looks of it, it seemed that they did not not come over because they were afraid of the crowd.
As soon as the two apes rushed over, the others hurriedly waved the weapons in their hands and attacked the two apes.
Most of them were wielding swords, while a few were wielding other weapons such as daggers, knives, and sticks.
However, these were not the runic swords of the Ash Cloud Rune Academy, so they could not unleash any power at all. Even if they did, there were runes drawn on them.
Once the two apes were entangled by the crowd, the girl in black immediately chased in the direction that Linlong had just run.
But what made her face turn ugly was that she could not see Linlong's figure.
You ran fast! She coldly said in her heart.
Naturally, she would not give up just like that.
