Chapter 94 Farewell
"Duke is dead?" Allen was stunned and asked quickly, "Senior Sister! When and how did he die?"
"Not long after entering the secret realm, he went awry in his cultivation and died from atavism."
"The secret realm is isolated from the outside world, and information transmission is not smooth, so I only heard about this matter recently."
"As for Duke's death, whether there is any hidden story behind it... I can't tell you, and you don't have to ask. Let's just let it go."
Alan listened silently, feeling lost in speech.
The scenes of studying on the same ship and on the Magic Stone Island flashed back in his mind...
Although Duke could not be considered his good friend, at least he had fought side by side with him.
Now I hear the news of his death, I can't help but feel sad and disappointed...
However, Duke's tragic end was not surprising.
Sometimes I think that Duke is more like a time traveler than him in some ways.
To be precise, like the male protagonist in a cool novel.
It’s a pity that he doesn’t live in a world of cool novels.
The cruel world of warlocks is too unfriendly to people like Duke who have a "Dragon Aotian" personality.
At the same time, Angel was still practicing in the secret realm.
Converted into outside time, two years have passed.
With Ingres's talent...
Your current cultivation level must have reached at least the early stage of Level 2, right?
Alan guessed secretly.
I wonder how powerful Angel will be when he comes out.
By that time, Ingres was already eighteen years old.
I am only a fifteen-year-old boy.
When we meet again, maybe we will feel strange?
But it doesn't matter.
Allen felt that Angel wouldn't change much when he grew up.
At least the height difference between the two cannot be changed.
I can still pat his head and take him to eat delicious food.
I hope that the distorted time inside and outside the secret realm will not change that pure friendship.
…
"Alan, something big is going to happen soon, and it may have something to do with you."
In the martial arts school study, Pan Sen had a serious expression and spoke in a low voice.
"The plague incident is getting bigger and bigger."
"The epidemic is spreading rapidly to the islands of the federation."
"Behind the outbreaks of plague in various places, there are many signs of beast worship activities."
"This group of crazy cultists are replicating what they did on Magic Stone Island on a large scale."
"On the one hand, he secretly controlled the rats and spread the plague, and on the other hand, he regarded himself as the savior, curing diseases and saving lives, and spreading the cult among the people."
"The major warlock families cannot tolerate the rampant activities of the Beast Cult."
"The top brass has decided to go to war with the Beast Worship Cult!"
In fact, Allen had recently heard about the news revealed by his mentor and was not surprised.
"Teacher, the major families in the Federation have joined forces to fight against cults. What does this have to do with a small person like me?" Allen asked doubtfully.
"Silly child, you haven't thought long enough..."
Pantheon sighed and smiled bitterly.
"Once the war breaks out, the Warlock Academy will be involved."
"The noble family students in the academy all regard participating in the war as a good opportunity to make merit and gain fame."
"As for a commoner like you, you can only serve as a vanguard on the front line."
"She shed blood and sweat, and even sacrificed her life, to decorate the medals of honor of the young masters and young ladies of the noble families!"
After hearing what his mentor said, Alan felt very uncomfortable.
In the warlock world ruled by bloodline nobles, military exploits are valued.
The children of aristocratic families received aristocratic education, which also included military tactics and strategies.
There are quite a few young masters who think they are born generals and like to go to the battlefield to gain military merits and accumulate capital for promotion.
One general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers.
Those civilian children who were actually pushed to the front line, such as Allen, did not have a good impression of the war.
What's more, he still has an old account to settle with the Beast Worship Cult.
"In the battle on Magic Stone Island, the Beast Cult lost two plague warlocks and also lost a very important statue of the God of Plague."
Pan Sen walked up to the student and lowered his voice.
"The cultists believe that the Plague God statue must have been taken away by someone in the investigation team, and the suspects... include you."
At the beginning, it was Pantheon who persuaded Allen to join the Magic Stone Island Investigation Team and strive for a place to enter the secret realm for training.
Alan listened to him and went to Magic Stone Island.
They performed outstandingly in the task of suppressing cult activities.
The place to practice in the secret realm that he had finally won, risking being hunted down by the Beast Cult, was taken away by Young Master Ma Wen... half bought and half robbed.
Pan Sen only learned about this matter afterwards.
For this, he felt deeply guilty.
I feel that I owe this little disciple.
So as soon as he received the news that the college was about to go to war with the cult, he immediately found Alan, tipped him off, and asked him to make preparations early.
There were a total of five people in the team that participated in the Magic Stone Island operation.
Andy and Duke are dead.
Pamela and Angel are still practicing in the secret realm, safe and secure.
Allen is the only one who is most likely to be targeted by the cultists.
Once the war breaks out, Allen will definitely be sent to the front line.
The Beast Cult will definitely target him.
As for the academy, it may not be interested in protecting commoner students like him.
not to mention……
"Alan, Han Ning, our natural sciences teacher, do you still remember this person?" Pan Sen asked softly.
Alan's heart trembled and he nodded slightly.
Because of the apprenticeship, the winery, and Han Ning's niece Tao Na...Alan had offended this person time and time again.
It wasn't his fault, but...
"Han Ning is a narrow-minded person!"
Pan Sen spoke for the students.
"Han Ning happens to be in charge of selecting the first batch of students to participate in the war."
"Because of various misunderstandings, he seems to hate you. If he has the chance to send you as cannon fodder, he won't hesitate!"
"So, I suggest you quickly take a long vacation in the name of carrying out a mission, quietly leave the academy, and find a place in the countryside to hide."
"What specific mission?"
"Don't worry about that. I'll make one up for you!"
"Just say you were assigned by the sect to conduct a long-term field investigation. Does Han Ning have any say in that? Don't agree? Let him come and confront me!"
"Wait until the academy has completely defeated the Beast Worship Cult and it's safe. Then it won't be too late for you to come back."
"Teacher... thank you for your concern."
Alan was quite touched to see that his mentor took the initiative to help him bear the pressure.
Now, there are two paths before him.
First: accept the advice of your mentor and run away as soon as possible!
Second: Reveal your poisonous demon bloodline, win the attention of the academy's top management with your talent, join a powerful family, and thus obtain protection.
This second path is actually a replica of the life trajectories of Angel and Tanya.
Thinking of how Senior Sister had endured the affair between Ma Wen and his sister, he could only swallow his grievances and dared not speak out...
Thinking of how Angel had no dignity in front of Pamela, being ordered around by his fiancée and being treated like a "punching bag"...
Thinking of my senior sister and Angel, they will be treated as "tools" to improve their bloodline and have children by their respective warlock families in the future, and their lives will be arranged clearly...
Allen, I hate that kind of life from the bottom of my heart!!
If he refused to be recruited by the noble family, his situation in the academy... would probably be similar to that of Duke, who died in the secret realm under unclear circumstances.
After careful consideration, Allen decided to accept his mentor's advice.
Leave the academy secretly for a while and see which way the wind blows.
"Alan! There is one more thing. Tell me honestly, do you know the whereabouts of the evil statue that the Beast Cult lost on the Magic Stone Island?"
Faced with the mentor's question, Allen did not hesitate at all.
He simply opened the storage bag and took out the statue of the God of Plague.
"Teacher, I leave this statue to you. It is entirely up to you to dispose of it!"
Next, Alan told his mentor the two special functions of the statue without reservation.
By the way, he admitted that he had used the statue of the God of Plague to purify his own beastly bloodline to 7%, which was a superior aptitude!
Pantheon didn't even touch the statue and turned his back.
"Alan! I'll feel relieved if you tell the truth!"
"My master does not have any beast bloodline, so the statue is useless. You can keep it for yourself."
After a moment of hesitation, Pan Sen added cautiously:
"This thing is too dangerous. If you keep it with you, it will attract disaster!"
"Alan, you'd better find a secret place to bury the statue of the plague god."
"Or just burn it down to avoid being remembered!"
Alan nodded.
The statue of the God of Plague is no longer of any use to him now, and should indeed be properly disposed of to avoid bringing trouble upon himself.
Panson opened the drawer, took out a medicine box and handed it to Alan.
"Since you have beast blood, things will be easier."
"Here is a blood awakening potion, take it."
"For an ordinary warlock, injecting this potion is equivalent to suicide."
"Only warlocks with shapeshifting bloodlines can awaken the first level of 'Disguise' after the injection."
"A beastman is a typical shapeshifting creature!"
"Beastial blood, of course, belongs to the bloodline of transformation."
"Alan, once you awaken this spell, you will be able to change your body shape and appearance anytime and anywhere."
"If you are chased by cultists, you can try to disguise yourself and escape."
Finally, Pan Sen did not forget to remind the students.
"Alan, don't think that getting an injection is a good thing!"
"If you hit me too much and exceed my endurance limit, my blood vessels will collapse!"
"My mentor...died because of this."
Pansen sighed, looking gloomy.
"Don't worry! I will remember your instructions and exercise restraint." Alan said solemnly.
After receiving the injection, Alan said goodbye to his mentor.
I returned to my dormitory, packed my luggage and prepared to leave.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Alan opened the door.
I saw Senior Sister Tanya standing outside the door.
Her pretty face showed reluctance.
It was obvious that he was leaving.
Tanya entered the room and closed the door behind her.
He asked Alan softly, "Little Junior Brother, what are your plans next?"
"Senior Sister, I want to go back to my hometown to visit my relatives and live there for a while. I haven't decided what to do in the future yet."
Alan told the truth.
"It would be good to spend more time with your family."
Tanya sighed and opened her storage bag.
Carry out a heavy bag.
"Alan, after you leave the academy, it will not be so convenient to obtain magic stones."
"I have five hundred attributeless magic stones here, take them first."
"When you're done with this, remember to write to me and I'll try to help you raise the money."
Listening to his senior sister's gentle words, Alan couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat.
He didn't want to lose his composure in front of his senior sister and expose his vulnerable side, so he forced himself to make a not-so-funny joke.
"Sister, you gave me all your dowry. What will I do when I get married?"
"Then don't get married!" Tanya said unhappily.
"Sister, how about..." Allen blurted out in a moment of impulse, "How about you just put up with it and marry me."
"Bah! Wishful thinking!"
Tanya rolled her eyes at him, a cute blush forming on her cheeks.
Alan's heart was burning with excitement. He couldn't help but take a step forward, grab her slender hand, and make a bold request.
"Senior sister, after this separation, I don't know when we will meet again."
"Before we say goodbye...I want to kiss you as a souvenir."
Tanya hesitated.
She bit her lower lip lightly to avoid his burning gaze.
With hot cheeks, she took the initiative to move closer to his lips.
