$1159 Old Woman

The slightly moist air in the Hongze Wetland, which was shrouded in reddish fog, made people feel comfortable and refreshed after entering the lungs.

However, due to the climate and humidity, various insects in the Hongze Wetland were rampant, causing the Golden Winged Giant Eagle Norn, who was almost close to the ground, to complain angrily from time to time.

However, after the Golden Winged Giant Eagle lowered its flying altitude, Raymond, who was standing on its head, could feel everything in the Hongze Wetland more clearly.

Low shrubs, rolling swamps, flying insects gathered in groups, bubbles that rose up and finally burst...

Raymond, who had lived here for several years, couldn't help but sigh and sigh, especially after seeing the shadowy shadow of the wizard tower in the wizard academy, this feeling became stronger.

However, the wizard academy now has some changes from what he remembered, that is, it is close to an invisible arc-shaped barrier that separates the inside and outside of the entire wizard academy.

Because of his feelings, he did not try to investigate the strength of the invisible barrier.

Although deep in his heart, he had already regarded this place as his most important support, and although the continuous improvement of his strength and realm brought him stronger power, he still felt a little uneasy and uneasy when he walked through the familiar path and came to the main gate of the wizard academy.

He left here fourteen years ago, and the many things that happened afterwards have made his mind stable and firm, but when he thought about seeing his mentor Edgar, who taught him in the past, Vice Dean Elton who took good care of him, the old woman Susie who managed the white castle, and even the black cat and the skeleton Mahaus, his heart actually trembled slightly.

Feeling Raymond's unstable mood, the golden-winged giant eagle supporting him also shrank its breath, and after he jumped down, it had no choice but to land together, following him reluctantly, jumping towards the invisible barrier like a chicken that couldn't walk.

The Red Marsh Wetland Wizard Academy many years ago. There was no main gate, and no guards were responsible for identity verification.

But now, at the end of the secret passage that originally led to the academy, a huge arched gate appeared. An old woman in a wrinkled scarlet wizard robe was sleeping soundly on a recliner behind the gate.

Raymond was very familiar with the path in and out of the wizard academy back then, so after seeing the situation in front of him clearly, he restrained his breath and walked slowly according to his memory of that year.

The golden-winged giant eagle Norn, who followed closely behind, stepped on the footholds that Raymond had landed on before after seeing that Raymond's foothold was not in a straight line. However, in this way, its huge body also looked more clumsy and funny, just like a toddler chicken that needed to flap its wings from time to time to maintain its balance.

After dozens of breaths, Raymond came to the arch, but the old woman lying behind the invisible barrier seemed to be dreaming. A stream of saliva flowed down from the corner of her mouth, leaving a large wet spot on her scarlet wizard robe.

Raymond hesitated and did not say anything. Instead, he reached out to touch the invisible barrier.

Ripples appeared on the barrier, which was like an invisible water curtain. Then it opened silently, allowing the breath mixed with the fragrance of flowers inside to flow out.

Raymond, with an arc at the corner of his mouth, was secretly surprised. Obviously, such a barrier could distinguish some information about the entrants.

But it was obviously not because of his own strength, because he did not feel any detection breath at all when he touched it lightly before.

Seeing that the old woman on the recliner was still sleeping soundly, Raymond, who did not intend to wake her up, went directly into the archway and wanted to enter the academy directly.

But he had just taken two steps. There was a muffled sound behind him, and the painful cry of the golden-winged giant eagle Norn!

Raymond, who had stopped walking, turned around, and the old woman who seemed to be sleeping before suddenly sat up, and there was a faint energy glow on her raised right hand.

But the old woman narrowed her eyes slightly. Looking at the golden-winged giant eagle that was blocked outside by the invisible barrier and was jumping around with its wings covering its head, her expression was extremely confused at first, and then turned into joy, but she didn't wipe the saliva from the corner of her mouth.

And the golden-winged giant eagle Norron, who was jumping around with his wings covering his head, was already roaring angrily. "My lord! What the hell is this! Why can you enter while I was hit so hard that I saw stars!"

Seeing this, the old woman, who had few teeth but laughed with her mouth wide open, stood up from the recliner tremblingly, laughing strangely as she walked. "Gagaga... You little chicken is hurt, let me rub it for you..."

The invisible barrier on the archway was revealed and removed as the old woman approached, but the golden-winged giant eagle Norn outside didn't wait for the old woman to get close and bent down to get into the archway.

The golden-winged giant eagle, which has reached the level of a second-level wizard, is a magical beast known for its speed, but it let out a horrified scream before its body could completely pass through the archway!

The afterimages that just appeared quickly dissipated, but Raymond, who witnessed the development of the situation, widened his eyes and was puzzled!

The huge golden-winged giant eagle was actually grabbed by the old woman, and her withered and skinny right hand gently rubbed its head, but in the eyes of the golden-winged giant eagle, there was uncontrollable horror and fear!

"Ha ha ha, it's really cute, such a lovely little chicken..."

The old woman, whose speech was a little unclear, pressed the golden-winged giant eagle under her hand and rubbed it as if she was stroking a small animal. Raymond, with his eyes wide open, realized that there was a weak confinement force on the surface of the golden-winged giant eagle, forcing it to accept such "favor"!

However, he did not realize that the old woman had any malicious intentions, so Raymond, who stood still, laughed, and the old woman seemed to love him endlessly, so that the golden-winged giant eagle Norn soon cast a pleading look at him, begging for Raymond's rescue.

Raymond, who did not know the identity of the old woman and did not try to investigate the old woman's strength, hesitated before bowing slightly. "Sir, this golden-winged giant eagle is my beast of passage. I hope you will show some mercy..."

The old woman seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but she still moved her hand from the golden-winged giant eagle Nolun's head and slapped it on the back and muttered. "Okay, okay, it's just a touch... Go, go..."

As if pardoned, the golden-winged giant eagle Nolun quickly lowered his body and got into the archway to hide behind Raymond, but then he stuck his head out and roared at the old woman. "Old woman! I'm not a little chicken! If you dare to call me that again, I'll fight you!"

The old woman laughed strangely, and the light in her eyes flashed, but the golden-winged giant eagle Nolun was so frightened that he quickly shrank behind Raymond and never dared to look up again.

Raymond bowed and asked again. "Sir, may I ask if Mr. Edgar still lives in the original building?"

The old woman, with a smile on her face, yawned and walked towards the recliner, mumbling in response. "Yes, that old bastard still lives there. When you see him, remember to ask him to come and pay the fees he owes last time, otherwise I will come to your house..."

It was really hard to understand how this old woman hid herself, but Raymond was unwilling to investigate, so after saying goodbye, he took the extremely frightened golden-winged giant eagle Norn and walked towards the interior of the wizard academy, and asked after he was far away from the archway. "What happened just now?"

"Sir! I really saw the dead! I thought I had passed through the barrier of the arch, but when I couldn't move, I found that I was still outside the arch, and the old woman's palm was like a piece of ice, so cold and heavy that I couldn't break free at all!"

After explaining, the exasperated golden-winged giant eagle Norn began to curse, but a faint sound echoed in the air in vain.

"Ha ha ha, little chicken, if you dare to say bad things about the old woman, you can't leave..." (To be continued..)
