[Stargazing Room]
Stars twinkled.
The fungal community that was spreading wantonly, the giant claw marks on the ground, and other damages caused by Han Dong were restored to their original state as the stars twinkled.
The test was completed.
Mr. Black And White handed a handwritten letter to Han Dong.
"Take this letter and go see the Great Plague Master. If he has time, he should be able to give you a few words of advice. Coincidentally, he is now in the Deadwater Swamp. "
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?"
"Asking a few simple questions is fine. However, it is best to wait until he and the witch are done with what they are supposed to do."
"Understood!"
The Deadwater Swamp was one of the dangerous areas in the Mystery Branch. It was located behind the Dark Moon Tower.
The edge of the swamp was also the border of the Knight Academy.
Twisted, large, and strange trees with terrifying human faces were one of the symbols of the swamp area.
A large number of "carnivorous plants" lurked in the swamp water that was one-third the height of the trees.
Once they felt a slight vibration on the surface of the water, the plants would open their bloody mouths or extend their branches that had the ability to pierce and suck, quickly hunting for food.
Pieces of rotten and moldy wooden planks were suspended in the air by the vines of the strange trees. They were the only path in the swamp area.
The Deadwater Swamp occupied an area similar to the Dark Moon Forest.
It was also the main place of education for the Mystery Branch.
Similar to how Han Dong studied plague in the old sewers, many apprentice knights who studied "witchcraft" lived in the swamp for a long time.
"Witchcraft" was only available to female Mystery Apprentices.
When Han Dong walked between the wooden planks, he could see many treehouses with different styles built at the ends of the branches.
The requirements for Witch Apprentices were relatively high, and these treehouses were their main dormitories.
[Witch, Kailongya Mason] had ordered Kieran to spend more than 80% of his time in the Knight Academy in the past few years in the swamp.
In order not to attract attention, Han Dong walked between the wooden planks in a "bird's beak costume."
At this time, most of the Witch Apprentices were in their treehouses reading books related to alchemy and herbology.
Some were brewing "witch soup."
Some were making voodoo dolls that could curse others or help themselves withstand damage.
Or they were practicing drawing different kinds of tactics.
Every once in a while, a group of witch apprentices would be summoned to the witch's academy at the center of the swamp.
Accepting [Witch, Kaironya Mason]'s test was equivalent to an irregular work report.
Once the report was not up to standard, they would face extremely severe punishment.
Therefore, the witch apprentices rarely left the treehouse and spent most of their time training.
However, Han Dong, who was wearing a bird's beak, still attracted the attention of many apprentices.
Many pairs of eyes with dark circles were looking at the mysterious apprentice who did not belong to Deadwater Swamp through the glass window.
There were many discussions about Han Dong's arrival.
After walking in the swamp area for about half an hour.
Creak!
The sound of a door opening came from the twisted tree not far from Han Dong.
A woman with slightly twisted limbs "crawled out" from the door of the treehouse at the top.
Using a crawling method similar to that of spiders, they easily crawled and jumped among the twisted trees, as if they were already familiar with life in the swamp area.
As she was crawling down the tree, her black hair hung down and covered her face.
Combined with her spider crawling posture, it was a little creepy in the gloomy swamp that was shrouded in a dark moon.
When she was three meters away from the wooden plank, the woman lightly leaped down.
She lightly stepped on the wooden plank with her bare feet. Through the cushioning process between her toes and the soles of her feet, she did not put any pressure on the decaying plank.
She stood face to face with Han Dong.
The woman wore a loose and ordinary white linen coat that was tightened at the waist. She also wore a pair of leggings below to prevent her "secret" from being exposed while she was crawling.
There were a few strange bracelets on her wrist. There were "herbs, ebony, octopus specimens, bat wings …"
There were also some exquisite magical tattoos on her palms and the joints of her arms that could effectively assist in the casting of spells.
Half of her face was covered by a wooden mask, while the other half revealed her beautiful and deep black eyes. She also had slightly thick lips, an oval face, and short black hair.
"Student Nicholas, is that you? What are you doing in Deadwater Swamp? "
This little Turkish girl actually recognized Han Dong's identity. After all, the beak costume given by Mr. Black And White could conceal one's aura and identity.
"Student Mia."
That was right.
This was the outstanding student who had entered the mysterious academy in the same batch as Han Dong — [Mia Seminovich].
While everyone had gathered in the hall after passing the dangerous test, Mia had made a large amount of medicinal herbs and distributed them to the injured students.
Moreover, Han Dong had also seen her in the corner of the first floor when he went to the Adventurers Guild for the first time.
"It's really you! I knew it!
When you were taken away at the last minute, it wasn't because of a problem with the test. It was because Mr. Black And White wanted to see you … This portable beak costume with the "goggles" function was also given to you by Mr. Black And White, right? "
"Yes … Mr. Black And White is my second teacher."
"Wow! I'm so jealous! "
Mia clasped her hands together and crossed them in front of her chest. Her bright black eyes examined Han Dong seriously.
"Hehe." Han Dong didn't know how to respond other than laughing awkwardly.
"Student Nicholas … What are you doing in Deadwater Swamp?
Generally, non-witch apprentices are forbidden to enter this place. If you don't have a special permit and are discovered by Teacher Kaironya, you'll end up in a miserable state! "
Han Dong didn't reply. He just showed the letter in his pocket.
The crow wax seal on it was extra conspicuous.
Mia was slightly excited when she saw the letter. She took the initiative to lead the way.
"So you were recommended by Mr. Black And White. Then there's no problem! I'll take you there.
I heard that Teacher Kaironya is meeting a very important guest today. All the work reports of us witch apprentices have been canceled. I don't know if she has time to meet you. "
"It's okay. I can find the way. I can go there alone."
"Ah … Okay."
Han Dong directly bypassed Mia and continued to go deeper into the swamp.
Even if the little magic eye was closed, it could still help Han Dong find the direction. He went straight into the swamp … He didn't need anyone to lead the way.
Just as he approached the center of the swamp.
Han Dong suddenly stopped. A cold voice came from under the beak mask.
"How long are you going to follow me?"
With the shaking of the branches behind him, Mia, who was hiding among the branches, jumped onto the wooden board again. She stuck out her tongue awkwardly.
"I … I just want to see why you're looking for Teacher Kaironya.
Also, you can't go any further through the wooden board … It's your first time in Deadwater Swamp. You probably don't know how to get to Witch School. I can take you to Teacher Kaironya's residence. "
"Okay, thank you."
