Chapter 56: Shadow Valley

A week flew by quickly.

Since the underground world is generally dark and lightless, Thain, who is on the floating ship, sometimes walks on the deck, but does not know the specific route they take to the Valley of Shadows.

When Thain and others finally arrived at a brightly lit underground valley a week later, he said to Lina next to him with some uncertainty: "Is this the Valley of Shadows?"

A large number of magic crystal lamps and magic equipment appeared in every corner of Shadow Valley, illuminating the place like daylight.

Including Thane, he also saw two huge magic towers rising high.

A blue energy shield covering the entire Shadow Valley persists for a long time. Its elemental energy source seems to be the two magic towers in the center of the valley.

After arriving in Shadow Valley, Thane not only felt the terrifying aura of more than a dozen official black magicians, but also found many elemental puppets here.

Some of the equipment and materials unloaded from the floating ship were carried by these earth elements to the corresponding locations.

The dull faces and facial features indicate that these earth elements do not have much intelligence and should have been summoned by powerful black magicians.

It is equivalent to the skeleton warrior summoned by Thain using low-level magic skull summoning.

But these earth elements are obviously more than Thane's thin skeleton. He estimates that even the smallest earth element can knock his little skeleton apart with a slap.

He just didn't know how high the specific power level of these earth elements was. There were twenty or thirty earth elements appearing in his eyes in the entire Shadow Valley at this moment.

Which powerful black magician was it?

After arriving at Shadow Valley, the black magic apprentices who had been in the cabin for a week also stepped out of the cabin at the urging of the official black magicians and Owl Academy supervisors.

Thain also saw the figure of Owl Qi.

However, they did not have any conversation, just nodded slightly.

The black magic apprentices are basically gathering together in small groups at the moment.

If you look carefully, you will find that among the middle and high-level apprentices, those who have become masters basically stay together in the same sect.

As for those middle and low-level apprentices who have not apprenticed as apprentices, and even weak entry-level apprentices, they live in the same dormitory or have a close relationship.

There are very few complete loners.

Thane took his girlfriend Lina to find his senior brother Zorro and

Senior sister Feier.

Although Fatty Boss didn't come over directly, he was standing not far from Thain at the moment.

Meili didn't come straight over. She had her own school, and now she was staying with her two senior sisters.

"Our stay in Shadow Valley will not be too short this time. Although it is a large area, due to the terrain restrictions, there are not too many tents. The instructor cannot help us in this regard."

"So we have to seize two tents later." Eldest brother Zorro whispered to Thane.

"Okay." Thain replied.

While he was talking, the whistle sounded.

The floating ship that originally brought Thain and others here slowly lifted into the sky after unloading all the things, until it disappeared in the middle of the dark underground world without a trace.

…

The tent that Thain and others finally occupied was the golden area located on the right side of one of the two magic towers in the valley.

The location closer to the magic tower means that if any crisis or accident occurs, they can immediately approach the magic tower and seek the blessing of the official black magicians in the magic tower.

In addition, the terrain here is relatively flat and open, not far from the huge magic altar in the center of the valley.

Standing at the entrance of the tent, Thane could overlook the magic altar emitting white elemental fluorescent light.

After being introduced by his senior brother, Thane knew that the space-time rift was located in the magic altar and was fixed by the altar.

There is indeed no one to be easy to deal with in the Black Magic Academy. When seizing these two tents, Thane and others also had a small conflict with two other groups of black magic apprentices.

Senior apprentices and quasi-magicians are indeed rarely seen in the academy on weekdays, but during this trip to Shadow Valley, it was obvious that all the first-level apprentices in the academy were packed and brought here by the official black magicians.

There are a total of eleven quasi-magicians and twenty-six senior apprentices. The power of the apprentices in the Black Magic Academy surprised Thain secretly.

When the tents were allocated, the two women, Mayfair and Lina, were assigned together, while Thain lived with his senior brother.

Fatty Boss came over at some point.

For the sake of Thain's face and the fat man's filial ingot of red copper, senior brother Zorro turned a blind eye and acquiesced to the fat man sleeping in the corner of their tent.

Senior brother Zorro is the one who is most like his mentor Mosheduo. During his study life at the Black Magic Academy, he indulged in experiments and alchemical research every day.

Let alone the opposite sex, I don’t even have a friend I can talk to.

Just like other quasi-magicians that Thain didn't know or even heard of.

Senior Brother Zorro is also a strange, powerful and cold presence to most of the magic apprentices in the academy.

…

On the second day after arriving in Shadow Valley, the official black magicians issued a series of orders.

Sure enough, it was quite urgent this time for the academy to summon all the apprentices to carry out the Shadow Valley mission.

Eleven quasi-magicians, including senior brother Zorro, are the first batch of beings to enter the depths of the magic altar.

I don’t know if he was taken care of by mentor Moses, but the eldest brother was the second to last among the eleven prospective magicians to enter.

“Do you think these little guys can help us place the coordinate generator at the other end of the space-time rift?” When the prospective magicians including Zorro stepped into the magic altar, a black magician in the magic tower in the valley asked the person next to him.

“Who knows? The size of this space-time rift is too small, and it can’t even accommodate a first-level creature.”

“Moses and the vice president spent so much time here, isn’t it just to continuously reinforce the space-time altar so that the altar can protect the fragile bodies of these little guys.”

“But despite this, unstable space-time rifts are also extremely dangerous for us, let alone these little guys.”

“It’s good to be able to send two-thirds of them over in the end, not to mention that we don’t know what the situation is on the other side.” A black magician shook his head and replied.

There are too many uncertainties in the exploration of different planes, not to mention that it is through the space-time rift, rather than coming directly from outside the plane.

If the other side of the space-time rift is a barren land that is completely unsuitable for living creatures, these little guys will be in trouble.

In fact, the resource demiplane that most black magicians in Mosobra City yearn for is, under normal circumstances, a dangerous place where it is difficult for creatures below level one to live and survive.

For example, if it is a fire elemental demiplane, apprentices like Sean will probably be roasted to death in a short time.

And the worlds that can be adapted to and survive by weak creatures below level one are all worlds with complete rules.

But these worlds are also accompanied by dangers. Even if the rules and climate environment are similar to those of the wizard world, Sean and others, as outsiders, will inevitably be excluded by the will of the plane and hostile to the indigenous ethnic groups of the plane.

Therefore, no matter what the specific situation is on the other side of the space-time rift.

These apprentices who are not even at the level of level one creatures will almost die if they go in.

It is no wonder that mentor Moses took the trouble to prepare so many life-saving props for Sean and others.
