The main castle of the House of Nobles occupies a large area and has a complex internal structure. It not only has magical corridors that reverse directions, but also countless mysterious passages that are unknown to the new students. Sometimes when walking, you will even pass through the walls and murals inexplicably. Step into a completely unknown fantasy space.
Perhaps it was to make the evening activities more interesting.
Except for the dormitory area, there are no lights in the entire retro castle.
In this dim environment, the moonlight outside the window looks particularly bright.
"Follow closely, don't get lost."
In the quiet corridor, Eli walked at the front, calmly reminding Noya and Annie behind him, just following a gray ghost that appeared out of nowhere.
Noah, on the other hand, was wearing a college uniform and size 34 black Mary Jane shoes, following closely behind him, her slender legs wrapped in slightly translucent white silk following suit.
Although he was mentally prepared, this kind of death-defying behavior of knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain and preferring to travel to the tiger mountain still made Noya feel nervous.
"Are you okay? Noya."
The petite Anne at the side couldn't help but come over and express concern.
Unlike Noya, not only did she not have any shyness, she was also extremely expectant, and her steps were so light that she could even make her skirt dance.
"I'm fine..."
Noya shook his head slightly.
Then, she glanced at Annie with some confusion, turned to Eli and asked, "Speaking of which... why don't we let Annie go back first?"
"ah?"
Anne was stunned on the spot.
Fortunately, Eli did not agree and said unmoved: "This is also a good training opportunity for her."
"But......"
Noah wanted to say that this was too dangerous, and it could easily implicate Anne.
As a result, Annie on the side became anxious, and quickly grabbed Noya and expressed her position a little aggrievedly: "It's okay with me! Let me go with you! Maybe I can help you!"
Although through the conversation between Eli and Noya just now, she also knew that this matter might be related to Noya's family, and she, an outsider, was not allowed to interfere.
But she also didn't want to be left alone.
Even the eldest lady like Noah, who is used to being lonely, can't stand Eli's arrangement. Naturally, Anne, who has always been lively and clingy, can't stand it even more.
Looking at Annie's reaction, Noya gradually realized that it was useless to say anything.
The child has contracted Eli's syndrome.
It’s only been a month!
Is this guy Eli really a loli killer?
Thinking of this, Noya felt angry and helpless, as well as full of emptiness and guilt.
So, with this inexplicable good impression of Annie and the guilt of causing her to come into contact with Eli, Noya could only nod slightly and no longer said anything to dissuade her. She just thought to herself that she must do her best in this operation. Protect Annie as much as you can.
As for Eli…
This guy is so powerful...he doesn't need her to protect him, right?
As this thought fell, Noya was suddenly startled.
wrong!
There is something wrong with her mind!
Eli treated her like a dog, how could she still think of protecting Eli?
Doesn’t this really put you into the position of a loyal dog? ?
Noya quickly shook her head in her heart.
That's a slide you can't even imagine!
...
Night always makes people lose the concept of time.
After wandering around the castle for an unknown amount of time, the gray ghost floating in mid-air finally led Eli, Noya, and Annie to the corner of an extremely remote corridor.
Directly in front, a huge oil painting with a golden frame hangs impressively.
As Eli and others passed through, what came into view was a stone road leading underground.
"Pour magic into your eyes."
Eli reminded him lightly, and a pair of dark golden cold eyes glowed with fluorescence that represented the surge of magic power.
Upon hearing this, Annie and Noah immediately followed suit.
Then, they discovered that the dark underground passage suddenly became brighter, and they could also see a blue magic thread that seemed to be guiding the way.
"It seems we were lucky enough to find the principal's secret room that no one else could find."
Eli turned to look at the ghost beside him and couldn't help but sneered.
The next moment, there was no waiting for the ghost to react.
He mobilized his magic power and snapped his fingers easily and freely.
"Snapped."
The surrounding darkness instantly distorted, as if it came alive. Under Eli's control, it swallowed up the gray ghost on the spot.
In fact, the basic attribute fire magic can also solve the soul body, but it certainly cannot be as straightforward as the dark attribute.
Seeing Eli kill the ghost so decisively, Noya instinctively opened his mouth, and finally slowly closed it again, pursed his soft lips, silently raising Eli's danger in his heart.
But Anne excitedly opened her spiritual diary and began to study and record Eli's every move.
"Let's go."
Eli took the lead to step down the stone steps, following the magic thread, and step by step deeper into this unknown underground palace.
...
Principal Aurora did not intend to let the students waste time exploring the underground palace, so this time Eli and others did not walk long before they successfully arrived at a long corridor leading to a giant door.
Looking up, you can clearly see a row of stone statues of knights dozens of meters high, holding giant swords, standing on both sides of the extremely spacious corridor.
At the entrance of the corridor, there is a blue stone tablet that cannot be ignored, with some rules about going to the secret room clearly engraved on it.
"Aurora's Trial..."
Noya subconsciously read the title on the stone tablet, and a hint of joy instantly appeared on her delicate face.
She really didn't expect to find the secret room so smoothly.
But then, Annie's words suddenly woke her up from the surprise.
"Each of the stone statues on the passage is equivalent to a high-level magician? Are you asking us to sneak in secretly? We can't even use invisible magic props!? This is difficult..."
While reading the instructions on the stone tablet, Anne made a face like a kitten and couldn't help but stick out her tongue.
It wasn't until this moment that Noya discovered that the explanation under the title was not ordinary horror.
Principal Aurora even specifically reminded that the difficulty level of this trial is level five, and even great magicians are not recommended to try it alone.
More importantly, when Noya looked up and saw dozens of stone statues waiting on both sides of the more than 100-meter-long passage, her mind did not allow her to come up with any lurking methods.
"Isn't this specially prepared for students with spatial attributes..."
Noah sighed weakly.
This was the first time that she had an urgent desire to learn about her own space-time attributes.
Just when she was thinking about asking Eli if it was time to go back, Eli had already read the instructions on the stone tablet and walked straight to the passage.
"Eh!?"
Seeing this scene, Noya became anxious and subconsciously wanted to rush forward and hold Eli.
As a result, Eli had slowly raised his hand.
The next moment, lightning flashed, thunder roared, and the entire passage instantly erupted with extremely violent magic.
Amidst the deafening sound, Noya vaguely heard Eli muttering to himself calmly: "As long as all the stone statues in the passage are destroyed, the lurking is successful, right?"
