Chapter 67 (1/2)

Today's atmosphere is not quite right. This is the first thought of the little wizard who woke up from his sleep.

All the apprentices were gathered. Nearly half of them were arranged to leave the college temporarily. The rest who couldn't leave were arranged to the hall of the main castle and locked the door.

Even himself and Isaac were the same. This time Peter had no kindness and kindness in the past. All dissenting apprentices were knocked unconscious by the tutors and thrown into the storage room in the main castle hall.

Under the robes of the mentors, Ayn could hear the shaking of weapons, and more than a dozen older apprentices, with long swords hanging around their waists, followed behind the mentors, with a very serious expression.

”What's going on?!” the anxious Ayn sat at the table at the edge of the hall, looked at the surrounding apprentices who were worried and whispering, and eagerly asked Loren in front of him: ”you must know, right? Mentor Dalton must have told you!”

”Didn't Dean Peter already say that?” Lauren said faintly: ”recently, the college is not very stable, and there are robbers around, so the Dean plans to find the guards of the village to help patrol, and ask the Duke and the church for help, and reopen the class after confirming that it is completely safe.”

”Tell the truth!” the little wizard looked at him fiercely, completely ready to eat people.

”... of course, but you have to give me a promise first.” Lauren, who surrendered with both hands, looked calm: ”no matter what happens, I won't intervene in this matter - it's for your sake. If I don't promise, I'll have to consider beating you out.”

”But!” the little wizard wanted to struggle.

”Sorry, it's not fun this time. So please tell me immediately, OK or not?”

”... all right.” clenched his teeth and agreed. Ayn stared at him, ”but you have to tell the truth!”

Loren nodded silently, then looked around, lowered his voice and said, ”half of Dean Peter's words are true, but the situation is more dangerous than he said.”

”A group of people, probably wandering wizards and mercenaries, will raid vimpal college some time recently. We don't know their ultimate goal, but... I'm afraid a fight is inevitable.”

Although it had been expected for a long time, the little wizard who heard the truth was still stunned and his eyes were trembling: ”why, how could this happen... What are they for?”

”I think this should be the problem that Dean Peter should worry about.” he waved his hand jokingly, and Loren's eyes intentionally or unintentionally turned to Dalton, who was patrolling. At present, only the tutor is the most calm in the whole college, and he can't see the difference from the past.

As for other tutors, most of them are pale, but they are not afraid. At most, they are a little nervous. After all, being a wizard under a remote cliff like vimpal has more or less the experience of wandering in the wilderness, even if it is not a real soldier or an ordinary person who has not experienced killing.

The older apprentices who were armed were really just apprentices waving Swords - I'm afraid they used this kind of thing for the first time in their life. They really had to face mercenaries licking blood at the edge of the knife and experienced wandering wizards, even if they were not obstacles.

Relying only on the number 20 people in the college, it is impossible to be the opponent of Karan and his bandits. There is no choice to ask for help. After all, witches are witches after all. Killing is not their specialty, and fighting is not their strong point - they don't even have a little combat experience if they don't often have to pay off the monsters running around in the Duke's territory.

”Why don't you run away!” while no one pays attention to yourself, the little wizard suddenly grabbed Loren's hand: ”you are so powerful that you must have no problem if you want to run away!”

”What will you do if... Something happens to the college?” Lauren asked.

”That... Is just my destiny.” the asked Ayn replied hesitantly, ”maybe that's better. At least you don't have to live in fear all your life and worry about being discovered by others at any time.”

Lauren smiled.
