Chapter 277 Ruins

The capital of Finland.

Fifteen days have passed since this graduation assessment.

The ruins are burning, and countless thick black smoke is rising into the sky.

The city was wailing. There were corpses and remains of war weapons everywhere. Countless giant bird corpses were like swatted flies, with blood splattering on the surrounding ruins.

The falling balloon airship and the strong men smashed huge craters on the ground, telling the story of the fierce battles here.

The wizards who invaded like a flood demon brought death and destruction to this garden city, spreading darkness and fear. Now they have completely disappeared without a trace.

The cries amidst the ruins and rubble were heard as rescuers continued to arrive from all directions.

Gu Bo and Su Yan stared at this hellish scene, unable to see the remains of the former garden city at all. Even though they were as indifferent to the impermanence of the world, their eyes couldn't help but feel a little moist.

"Wizard of the Dark World."

Gubo almost made a sound from between his teeth.

"I heard that when the Black Death was raging, every city was in such a tragic situation. It was the darkest moment of mankind, and it was almost extinct. Even the Creator of Light was affected by this, and the power of faith was greatly weakened and unable to Then form absolute suppression of the dark world.”

Sulfur Rock sighed.

"The Archduke Capricorn sacrificed his blood to the capital of Finland. The Principality of Finland perished, the dark world rose, and a new era of war came."

No wonder the two did not participate in the battle to defend the Finnish capital.

after all.

The two of them shoulder the important task of protecting the students of Gran. Behind them stand more than two hundred students of Gran who were eliminated earlier. They are the future of the Principality of Gran.

…

"Oh my God!"

Members of an exploration team screamed in terror and trembled in disbelief.

People nearby gathered quickly.

I saw countless corpses gathered into a hill-like shape.

If you look more carefully, it seems that someone wants to use corpses to complete some crazy art project and pile these corpses into a castle?

"Door of hell."

I don’t know who it was, but after witnessing such a terrifying scene, he instinctively murmured.

…

on the ground.

The giant footprints, which were tens of meters long, were clearly imprinted on the ground, walking unstoppably towards the palace step by step.

A dozen advance scholar investigation teams, following the mission instructions, came to the sealed gate deep in the palace.

Gu Gu Gu Gu.

A few green-eyed owls flashed past.

"Inside is the Finnish treasury. It is said that the construction of the treasury was completed according to the highest standards. Without the correct opening method, even the wizards could not open the door in just ten days. This was rebuilt by the Principality of Finland. Foundation!”

However, when these scholars' investigation team passed through the ruins and came to the secret entrance of the treasury in the heart of the mountain, they suddenly froze in place.

The treasury door was open and empty.

But this is not the main thing.

In front of the gate.

Countless palms, thousands in total, were cut off extremely cruelly and piled in front of the gate.

An old scholar staggered and said with a pale face: "It's over, it's completely over. There is no hope for the Principality of Finland, there is nothing left."

A man with a gloomy face walked up to these severed palms and studied them carefully.

Another middle-aged female scholar came up behind him. She was once a princess of the principality, and cried: "The door of the treasury can only be opened with the fingerprints of the commander of the guards, His Majesty the King, and two of the three intermediaries. They must be looking for the hidden perpetrator, so they did not hesitate to cut off everyone's hands!"

With tears falling, she asked, "What did you find?"

The sinister-looking man stood up.

"These hands...are not from the same body."

The middle-aged female scholar was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "This humor is not funny!"

…

Academy of Natural Sciences of Finland.

The square was full of craters and corpses. The ruins of hundreds of meters high towers collapsed on the square, and there were countless corpses in the craters.

A heavily armored warrior made a "click" sound, angrily stepped over the corpse of a wizard, and led the professors from the colleges of the five principalities to the damaged Altar of the Scales.

"It was several old professors from the college who jointly performed the sealing technique and destroyed the basic structure of the Balance Altar, ensuring that the assessment students inside would not be attacked by wizards."

The old scholar responsible for repairing the altar looked gloomy.

"The sealing technique has been lifted, but if you want to repair the altar, other materials are available. The zero boundary stones and mithril reserved by the academy have been plundered by those wizards. Now we need 35000g of zero boundary stones and 550g of mithril to complete the repair."

After everyone took a look, although their hearts were bleeding, they began to think of ways to gather repair materials in silence.

in this way.

It was not until dusk that the brand-new Scale Altar was finally restored among the collapsed stones of the Finnish Tower.

"Embedded magic stone."

All advanced models, embedded in the altar groove.

The old scholar who specializes in time and space academics who is responsible for repairing the altar took a deep breath and said: "Then, activate the time and space altar!"

With the energy supply of the magic stone, countless energy runes gradually lighted up on the balance altar, regaining the effectiveness of time and space.

However.

It was completely different from what everyone expected.

After opening the Altar of Time and Space, no one teleported out.

"The last time required to leave the assessment space has been missed. The students inside may not have realized that the teleportation effect has been restored. I will activate the forced teleportation function to summon them later."

The old scholar explained a little bit.

After a while.

Just when the old scholar was about to activate the forced transmission function of the altar, suddenly, there was a "buzz" sound and a student appeared on the altar.

Huchi, wheeze, wheeze...

There was a loud gasping sound. This was a young-looking Wellland student, half-kneeling on the altar, looking at everything around him in disbelief.

"Su'er!"

The old professor from Welland College looked surprised and helped the student up.

"Where are the others? How are they doing inside?"

"Dead, all dead."

Su Er gradually came back to his senses and murmured in a low voice.

The old professor was stunned for a moment, looking at this student who was completely different from before. He seemed to exude a wild aura with great potential, or the violent aura of a creature at the top of the food chain.

"What happened inside!?"

"It's Gran Academy! After they went there to collect badges, they never came back. Until just now, I couldn't restrain my curiosity and broke into the heart of the Gran assessment area and saw their bodies. They were all dead!"

The old professor looked at Gu Bo.

Not only him, but also [The Hidden One] and [White Light] of Sealand College, [Old Sheep Demon] and [Barbarian Beast Master] of Wellland College all looked at Gu Bo with very unfriendly eyes.

"snort!"

Gu Bo's heart suddenly trembled, but with a sneer on his face, he said without fear: "They are looking for death themselves. What do you want me to do?"

Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz...

Following the forcible summons from the Altar of Time and Space, the assessment students in the secret realm appeared on the altar one after another.

Ling Ling Zongzong, there are only a hundred or so remaining examiners from the five major colleges and many liberal scholar families.

Lei Luo stood in front of Bai Xing, Xiao Kang, Yulia and Sibo.

"Lei Luo!"

Lei Luo stared at the ruins of the Finnish capital, recovered from the shock, and looked at Gubo who was walking in a hurry.

"Teacher! What exactly happened here?"

Not just Lei Luo.

Everyone on the altar was about to angrily question and roar, but when they saw the apocalyptic ruins in front of them, they all opened their mouths and were speechless.

"It's a wizard! We have to get out of here right away!"

Students from the Glen Academy of Natural Sciences gathered here immediately, and there were only about twenty people.

Gu Bo frowned and looked at the old scholar responsible for time and space summoning.

If there is any reaction, the old scholar said: "They are all here."

"what happened?"

Gubo looked around at Angina, Aoun, Noel, Rocky, Magana, Dylan, Bai Xing, Xiao Kang, Yulia, Sibo, and several other strong men in the class, and said in amazement: "Where are they?" ?”

Everyone's eyes turned to Lei Luo.

Gu Bo also looked at Lei Luo.

"They're all dead."

Lei Luo seemed to be talking about a very common thing, and explained: "Killed by the shadow predator."

"Why is this happening!"

After a little understanding of the cause of the matter, Gu Bo couldn't help but roared angrily: "Why did you disband the seal team and instead target the students of your own academy! I don't know how many nobles in the principality will hate you in the future. Even if you complete the graduation examination, you will have to How to gain a foothold!”

There are more than 20 people here, plus the more than 200 people who came out before the wizard came, and only half of the assessment team of more than 500 people returned?

As he said that, he looked at Lei Luo and couldn't help but feel pity.

"I know you are doing this for me! But if you are doing this, you are ruining your future! Is it worth it?"

"No, mentor, you misunderstood."

Staring at Gu Bo, a smile appeared on the corner of Lei Luo's mouth, with a look of satisfaction.

Under Gu Bo's puzzled gaze, Lei Luo slowly shook his head.

"I just wanted to see if anyone could defeat the academic truth I was pursuing, but... no one could."

Lei Luo chuckled and said: "It seems that the Star Screen World is not the center of the universe after all, and it has not brought them the power to defeat me."
