Chapter 17 - Chapter 17 Blood of Thorns

As the team moved forward, the wheels of the carriage crushed the tiny gravel on the ground, making a slight sound.

The whole team was dull and silent, seeming very depressed.

The wizard seeds of the Blue Ring and Hard Castle were especially terrified, fearing that any inappropriate behavior would anger the mysterious, powerful and strange wizard.

The guard knights who were originally protecting the Blue Ring and Hard Castle were summoned, and then they disappeared.

All the wizard seeds knew that they were all dead.

No one will forget the horrific screams that came from the valley that day and the faintly echoing fluctuations of wizard energy. Of course, not long after, everything was over.

Even if those guarding knights have the strength of upper knights, and even if they are numerous, they are meaningless in front of Emily, the third-class wizard apprentice.

"Kill them all, is this the dark wizard..." Morin leaned against the carriage, lifted the curtain, and thought silently in his heart when he heard the faint shouting.

Beside him, Richard was calling his name softly.

Maureen smiled gently at Richard.

But in his heart, he was silently mourning for those guard knights. Apart from anything else, Scolett's guard knight Jack and others also enriched his experience in fighting enemies and his swordsmanship information. Morin had been with them for quite some time, so it was inevitable that he felt a little strange in his heart.

After Jack and the others died, a team of knights riding black war horses, wearing black full body armor with only their eyes exposed, came and took over the guard duty.

Morin found that these knights were like puppets, motionless and emitting a cold aura, completely different from Jack and the others.

"Their strength is definitely above Jack and the others." Maureen thought silently in his heart, then lowered the curtain of the carriage.

On the third day, Emily gathered Maureen and the others together.

"You are now the wizard seeds of the Dark Forest. You must understand this." Emily's expression was cold. She looked at the many wizard seeds below who were trying to remain calm but were actually feeling uneasy in their hearts, with disdain on her face.

Then she clapped her hands gently.

Immediately, several knights came over and handed black robes to Morin and the others.

"Put on the black robes. This is your symbol." Emily's voice rang out, saying, "Don't forget that all of you are wizard seeds of the Dark Forest."

No one dared to speak, and no one moved.

The scene was a little cold for a moment.

Emily's expression became increasingly ugly.

Finally, someone was the first to pick up the black robe and put it on.

This seemed to have caused a chain reaction, and everyone quickly picked up their black robes and changed into them.

In a moment, the only wizard seeds here were those wearing black robes, the same wizard seeds as the black robe seeds they had seen before.

Emily saw this scene, nodded, and left expressionlessly.

However, even though they were wearing the same black robes, the wizard apprentices of the Blue Ring were still different from those in the original black robes. The gap between them was deep, and conflicts would break out from time to time, and even bloodshed.

"Maureen, these dark ones... I don't know why, no one comes to explain knowledge to us. You know, such a long time has passed, and I have a lot of doubts in my mind." Richard couldn't help complaining as he walked with Maureen.

Morin simply answered one or two sentences, but his heart was moved.

The Dark Forest is obviously different from the Blue Ring and the others. If the wizard seeds want to gain knowledge and answer their questions, they must pay a lot. It can't be that simple. Moreover, even if there is a teaching task in the mission, it is hard to say what the black robes will explain.

Morin suddenly felt fortunate to have met Scolett. If he had met a wizard apprentice from the Dark Forest at the beginning and entered the Dark Forest, then, let alone acquiring the basic knowledge of wizards, according to the Dark Forest's style of doing things, it would be difficult to predict what the outcome would be for him.

"damn it!"

A roar suddenly sounded, and a blond young man with a gloomy face slowly walked over. He found Maureen and Richard and greeted them.

"Anthony." Morin called out, then he looked at Anthony and asked, "What happened?"

"Those black robes were really too much." Anthony forced a smile at Morin, then punched a big tree nearby and said, "Last night, one of them sneaked into Kelly's carriage. Later... the next day, Kelly committed suicide in tears."

boom!

There was a loud noise and the tree shook violently, showing Anthony's angry mood at the moment.

Maureen and Richard looked at each other and saw a hint of shock in each other's eyes.

"There is actually such a thing." Richard couldn't help but exclaimed.

Mo Lin thought of the key point, and asked in a deep voice: "How was this matter handled?"

Anthony's expression suddenly turned gloomy.

"Lady Emily said that Kelly committed suicide, so if she dies, then she dies." Anthony said in a cold voice, "Lady Emily said that if someone is killed and there is solid evidence to point out who the murderer is, then she will definitely take care of it. Other than that, don't bother her with other matters."

Maureen was shocked.

"It seems that the cruelty of the Dark Forest to wizard seeds is far beyond my imagination." He thought silently in his heart.

"Lucy!" Richard suddenly shouted, "Oh my God, Lucy! If this matter with Kelly is not dealt with, then if this happens to Lucy..."

Richard was very anxious. He said goodbye to Anthony and Lucy in a hurry and ran away.

Maureen and Anthony stood there, watching Richard running away, without saying a word.

"Molin, I have secretly communicated with many of our former members. Our intention is to unite secretly. If nothing else, we will not be bullied, or at least prevent such a thing from happening again." Anthony suddenly turned around, looked at Morin, and said, "Do you want to join?"

"Anthony?" Maureen's expression changed slightly, and then he laughed. His eyes were full of scrutiny when he looked at Anthony.

"Yes, I am the leader of this group." Anthony met Morin's gaze and admitted it frankly, saying, "There is no need to hide this from you. After all, you are a smart person. You can't be fooled by such things."

Maureen smiled but said nothing.

"Molin, I'm very optimistic about you. You should have received knight training, you are very strong, and you are a calm person, so I really hope you can join us." Anthony looked very sincere and said, "We already have a lot of people, and even Anna from Hard Castle has joined."

"You know, Anna has magical items on her body, and her combat power is the strongest. With her joining us, our safety is actually very high."

Anthony looked at Maureen.

Mo Lin's heart moved slightly, and then he smiled.

"Let me think about it." Morin did not give a clear answer.

His current strength is already very strong. Even if three or four upper knights attack together, he can resist with ease. Among the wizard seeds who cannot use wizard energy yet, his combat power should not be underestimated.

Anthony's expression froze.

Then he immediately recovered, nodded, and said, "Okay, Morin, I hope you can think about it carefully. If you are willing to join, you can come to my carriage to find me."

"I'm always welcome."

Anthony smiled brightly and gently, then he raised the cross sword at his waist and turned away.

Maureen looked at Anthony's gradually leaving back, and her eyes flashed slightly.

"My strength is at the top among all wizard seeds, but it is still not enough. I need to improve my strength." Morin thought silently.

Then he had an idea and said, "Chip, call up a plan to improve my physical fitness!"

"Ding! Mission in progress!"

"The subject's body data is as follows!"

"Maureen Olsen, middle knight, strength: 7.2, agility: 7.4, constitution: 7.5"

"The improvement plan is as follows: one portion of redwood nut, two portions of fanged black wolf's eyes, and one portion of crystal grape!"

"The above information is all from the database!"

"Damn it!" Morin had a blank expression on his face, but he felt deeply helpless in his heart. Along the way, he had been using the solutions provided by the chip to improve his physical fitness. As his physical fitness improved, he had already changed several improvement plans provided by the chip.

Mahogany nuts and crystal grapes were fine, after all, they were just common fruits, but the Sharp-fanged Black Wolf's eyes were helpless, because there were no Sharp-fanged Black Wolf in this area at all.

No matter how good Morin's temper was, he was about to lose it. Now was the time when he needed to improve his fighting power, but he didn't expect that he would encounter such a thing.

He lay on the soft couch in the carriage, feeling restless.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt something hard on his chest.

"What is this?" Morin was a little confused. He picked up the thing and took a look. Morin discovered that it was actually a multi-sided seal with countless blood-red vines entangled together on it, and there were pale eyes growing on the vines.

Morin was quite curious. He took the thing in his hand and played with it carefully. Suddenly, he found a few words on the back, written in ancient Andean.

"Von Mengaye Sos Orunmosa."

Maureen subconsciously read out those words.

The blood-red seal trembled, and then a blood light suddenly emanated.

"Damn it!" A bad feeling suddenly surged in Morin's heart. Without thinking, he wanted to throw the seal away, but the bloody seal seemed to be stuck to his hand and could not be thrown away at all.

Crash!

Countless blood-colored vines immediately rushed out from the blood-colored seal and enveloped the unsuspecting Morin. Pale white eyes swam around, and finally all disappeared. Only a faint illusion of an eye appeared on Morin's chest.

Morin froze in place, motionless, looking as if he had suddenly put on a strange blood-red armor.

"Hula!"

Suddenly, all the blood vines disappeared, and Morin reappeared in the same place, but he looked very bad, his face was pale, his chest kept heaving, and his breathing was rapid.

"Hahaha... cough cough... demonization... demonized items." Morin coughed twice, but there was unconcealable excitement in his eyes.

He never imagined that the blood-colored seal was actually an intermediate-level magic item, the Thorn Blood Seal.

"Fortunately, I took this thing with me at that time." Morin touched the bloody seal on his chest, a hint of relief in his eyes.

Just now, he inadvertently recited the activation spell of the Blood Thorn Seal, which completely activated the Blood Thorn Seal and made him understand what was going on.

"Very good, I also have a magic item. Although my current strength is very weak, the ability of the magic item is limited, and the time is not very long, but this is enough, isn't it?" Mo Lin's face showed excitement, and he said: "Really... not bad."

With this thing, even if his current strength has not improved, his combat power is already far superior to before.

"Even if it's Anna, I'm afraid she's nothing in front of me."

Mo Lin suddenly thought of this.

He held the blood seal of thorns on his chest, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, and smiled.
