Chapter 282 Apprentices

In the outskirts of the gray swamp, the pouring rain hit the few dwarf shrubs on the ground. The continuous heavy rain made the already muddy gray swamp even more slippery and filthy. The purple-black humus soil not only It was muddy and very sticky to the feet, and black mud bubbles would pop up in those places where the land was sparse. The smell after the bubbles burst was very annoying.

In such a harsh environment, a team of about 300 people trudged through the mud with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The sound of heavy and tired breathing was completely covered by the volume of the heavy rain, so the whole team looked very So quiet as to be silent.

Except for a man in the team leader who was wearing a green robe, all the three hundred people were wearing rough gray robes. Their boots were also the same standard leather boots, and only the clothes under the gray robes had different styles. There are different styles, the hoods with wide brims cover the frozen pale faces, these people in gray robes are obviously young boys and girls.

Obviously, these teenagers and girls who are trekking hard are a group of mage apprentices with the thought of truth.

The oldest among them was only about eighteen years old, and the youngest was just ten years old. Now these half-grown children were trudging through the mud, and no one complained.

However, neither the gray robes nor the leather boots stained with mud can resist the erosion of the heavy rain. All the children are already soaked, and the loose robes are wrapped around them. The barrage formed by the heavy rain seems to shake everyone Every drop of rain poured into the cracks of their gray robes, pouring down one after another.

But no one complained, or... no one dared to complain!

In the middle of the line, a girl with drenched black hair gritted her teeth and pulled out her boots that were stuck in the black mud, but the boots were obviously too big. Instead of pulling out the boots, she pulled her little feet out broke free from the boots.

"Anya? Are you okay?"

A short girl next to her noticed her friend's embarrassment, so she stopped quickly and greeted her with concern while crying.

"It's all right, Molly, it's just that the boot fell off".

The girl named Anya put on a blunt smile to face the girl named Jasmine. She carefully stood on one foot, then possessed herself and "pulled" one of her boots out of the muddy water.

The pure white jade feet trembled slightly in the rain, Anya hurriedly put on her boots a little shyly, and then turned to look at her friend.

"Jasmine, hurry up and follow, or the mage will get angry again."

Anya reminded Jasmine who was stopping to rest in a low voice, and then tried her best to pull the other foot out of the mud.

The fat boots didn't fit well, and the inside of the boots was filled with water. Now Anya only felt that her feet were as heavy as if they were tied with lead weights. Every time she lifted them up, she had to use her whole body's strength.

"That's enough, really, I don't want to go, we've been walking for three days in a row, I'm so tired, I'll take a little rest, as long as I don't fall behind..."

Jasmine obviously didn't have the perseverance like Anya, she sat down on the dirty ground, a line of tears streaming down her white face.

However, the other apprentices around her all avoided the fallen Jasmine expressionlessly, and no one even looked at the weeping girl except Anya.

Three days ago, many of these apprentices, like Jasmine, often fell to the ground and cried or even complained. After all, these apprentices had not stepped into the threshold of professionals at this time, and they were just a group of ordinary children.

However, after the leading mage who often laughed morbidly killed the last five or six apprentices with cruel means, no one dared to complain anymore. Even the children clearly realized that it is now decided to The mage of his own destiny is a demon who kills without blinking an eye, and the best choice is to speed up his pace as much as possible and not fall behind.

But Anya definitely can't just ignore her friend's collapse. She knows that Jasmine's mental state is very bad now. This time the trip has lasted for two weeks, and everyone is on the road non-stop, and the period is only very short. Rest and simple food, most importantly - no one knows when they will reach their destination.

In this arduous journey, children like Xiang Anya, who lived in poor families and suffered a lot since childhood, were better off, while many of those children who lived in rich families or even aristocratic families couldn't bear this endless "" travel" rather than going on.

But the fate of those who give up halfway is very miserable... The mage who leads everyone is obviously a perverted psychopath, and the only end for all those who dare to complain in the whole team is to be killed by that perverted mage. die.

Anya didn't want her friend to end up like that. Although Jasmine was a girl from a businessman's family, she didn't have any problems with being a young lady, and she was extremely enthusiastic about Anya. Therefore, Anya had to help this girl named Jasmine little girl with a handful.

Trying to move the boots filled with water, Anya half-forced Jasmine who was sitting on the ground against the heavy rain. She carefully took out half an apple and handed it to the girl in front of her, then said seriously:

"Hurry up, don't give up, don't forget that we are going to be professionals, remember those powerful professionals, they will never be bullied by anyone, because they can destroy a city alone, we are I came here to become such a strong person!"

Anya said to Jasmine in a firm tone, this was her encouragement to Jasmine and also her own determination.

But Jasmine didn't accept the apple handed by Anya, she stood up staggeringly, and wiped the rain and tears from her face vigorously:

"But... But, Anya, I don't want to be a professional, I want to go home..."

At the mention of the word "home", Jasmine looked even sadder.

Now Anya doesn't know how to comfort her friend. After all, she is only a sixteen-year-old girl. Although she is willing to make every effort to become a strong person, there are many apprentices in this apprentice team. People are forced to leave their families and embark on a journey after being detected as talented. For these young girls, the opportunity that many people dream of like "becoming an apprentice" is a hopeless disaster.

Anya had no way to comfort Jasmine, she could only fasten Jasmine's robe tighter to prevent the cold wind from entering the robe as much as possible.

But the heavy rain showed no signs of stopping, and the howling cold wind caused the rain to slap everyone's faces hard.

But fortunately, when the heavy rain was getting heavier, the voice from the rain screen gave everyone in the team new hope—it was a short sentence from the front of the team, with magical The spell expands to the point where everyone can hear and see.

Anya clearly remembered that it was the voice of the leading mage.

"All the apprentices hurry up, line up immediately, and prepare to start the identity check immediately, the thought of truth has arrived"!
