When Richard came downstairs in a light leather armor, he found that his brother, father, and mother were already with a black-robed man holding a crystal ball and a short staff.

The man in black robe had a handsome face and black hair that made him look very young, but his deep eyes gave people the impression that he had rich experience. His temperament was unique and mysterious. On the left chest of his robe there was a very eye-catching mark of a pile of white skulls. Richard guessed that this should represent the school or level to which the man in black robe belonged.

The man in black robe spoke, his voice slightly feminine: "Are you Richard? I am Ceres, a wizard from the Ignis School. Your grandfather once saved my life! Your father

has told me about your situation. I can accept you as my disciple, but

before you set off, I still have to remind you that the path of a wizard is much more difficult than you think, especially since your qualifications are not very good at the moment.

So, Richard, it's not too late for you to regret now."

"I don't regret it!" Richard shook his head firmly, seeing that Ceres, who should be his grandfather's generation, or even older than his grandfather, was so young.

Richard became more determined to become a wizard. Judging from Celeste's appearance, he could live at least a hundred more years.

If you don't give it a try, your trip through time will be in vain!

When the black-robed wizard Ceres heard this, he smiled slightly, as if with some kind of approval.

"Then let's go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Celes began to chant a spell softly. At the same time, the fist-sized crystal ball on the top of the short staff in his hand instantly emitted a dazzling green light. After being projected on the ground, it directly formed a huge inverted pentagram magic circle.

A few seconds later, a tall skeletal warhorse emerged from the ground!

The skeletal warhorse had a complete skeleton and a jade-like luster. After being summoned by Celes, it even rubbed against Celes's robe affectionately.

There was a circle of green phosphorus burning on each of its four bony hooves, and it would kick from time to time, followed by a long neigh, looking extremely majestic, as if it were a living creature!

This stunned the entire Baron family present.

Richard's mother, the Baroness, was almost frightened to death.

Richard was shocked when he saw this. Even if he had never eaten pork, had he seen a pig run?

Skeleton warhorse, this is clearly an undead wizard.

The black-robed wizard Ceres in front of me is so humble!

But no matter what department it is, Richard has already boarded the "pirate ship".

While watching with envy, Richard was also thinking to himself, when can he reach this level!

When Richard came to his senses, Celes had already sat upright on the tall skeleton warhorse and stretched out his hand to Richard, "Come up."

"Okay, sir!" Richard leaped up and nimbly climbed onto the skeleton horse, sitting steadily behind Celes.

The baron stuffed a heavy bag into Richard's arms and said, "Take this."

Richard touched the bag and from the bulging shape it was obviously filled with gold dinars. The bag was full, at least a hundred of them. He felt inexplicably moved.

Father's love is like a mountain!

"Hold on tight, we're about to set off." Celes waved and greeted Richard's family.

Richard tightly grasped the corner of Celes's clothes, turned to his family and said, "Father, mother, brother, take care, I'm leaving!" Out of the corner of his eye he seemed to see the familiar figure in his room on the second floor, standing by the window and looking at him.

The scene of parting with family is always sad!

As the skeleton warhorse began to gradually accelerate, its speed increased rapidly after running out of the castle gate.

At first, Richard could still feel the vibration when the skeleton horse ran, but after a while, he could no longer feel it.

Richard was surprised and looked down. It turned out that the four hooves of the skeleton warhorse, which were burning with green phosphorous fire, were actually about 20 to 30 centimeters off the ground.

It turned out to be running in the air, no wonder it was so stable!

As time passed, the skeleton horse was like a flash of lightning, and the sound of wind in Richard's ears became louder and louder. His eyes observed the scenery on both sides and flew backwards.

It was unknown how long it had been before the black-robed wizard Ceres drove the skeleton warhorse to slowly slow down.

Only then could Richard see his surroundings clearly. They had arrived at a dark and foggy forest. The ground was covered with bushes, vines and weeds, and there were small swamps from time to time.

"Richard, we are almost there. Not far ahead is the Ignis School's headquarters, which is also one of the places with the highest concentration of dark elements in the swamp. It is very suitable for the practice of shadow and undead wizards."

"Mud swamp? Mentor, is it the mud swamp that is said to be the site of a great war more than a thousand years ago, and which gradually evolved from an ancient battlefield where blood flowed like a river?" Richard asked curiously.

Before this, Richard had seen a description about the silt swamp in a travelogue of a bard.

"Huh, I didn't expect you knew that too. Yes, this was indeed an ancient battlefield." Celes turned around and looked at Richard with approval.

The two walked and talked, and the environment in front of them became increasingly worse. If the skeleton warhorse had not known the direction to go, ordinary people would have been trapped in the swamp quagmire on the side.

From time to time, in the swamps on both sides of the trail, there would be wild beasts such as sharp-toothed crocodiles standing by, staring at the two men with eager eyes.

Perhaps the beast had a keen sense and realized that the man in black was not easy to deal with, so after following him for a long time, it gave up on its own initiative.

Richard was thinking that it would be best if he could launch a sneak attack from some wild beasts, which would allow him to see the fighting power of Ceres as a necromancer.

Occasionally, there would be a gray figure flashing by in the gray woods ahead, at an extremely fast speed, like a ghost. If an ordinary person saw it, he would definitely be scared.

After a while, after the two men passed through a grove of gray trees, they saw a large pile of rocks.

The sky was filled with dark grey smoke, making the entire area look like a ghostly den.

"We're here."

After saying that, Ceres jumped off the skeleton horse first, and Richard followed suit.

No one saw Ceres doing anything, only the neighing of the skeleton warhorse was heard.

A green pentagram magic circle suddenly appeared on the ground where it was standing, and the entire body of the skeleton warhorse began to slowly sink into the ground until it completely disappeared.

Celes walked to a large rock, and perhaps sensing a living creature approaching, the rock suddenly came alive.

For a moment, Richard was shocked!

A fang-like mouth suddenly emerged from the stone surface, and it shouted in the common language: "If you want to enter, just say the password or put your hand in and let me lick it!"

"Shadow of Ignis!" Seres said in a deep voice.

The fang-like mouth suddenly grew larger, forming a hole about three meters in diameter. Celes raised his leg and stepped in.

Richard did as he was told and entered smoothly.

After entering, Richard discovered that there was a different world inside.

It seems that the pile of rocks he saw outside should be some kind of illusion magic or optical illusion formation of the school.

As Richard walked and looked around, he discovered that the entire Ignis School covered a vast area, with buildings on the ground stretching out in a continuous line, but most of them were made of a black-gray marble-like facade material.

The overall style appears very simple and solemn, and the architectural style is a bit similar to the Roman style of Richard's previous life, but slightly more square.

Richard followed Celes and turned left and right, while looking around himself.

Everything in front of me is so new.

It is very likely that he will live and study here for quite a long time.

Along the way, we met almost no one, probably because it was already the late night and dawn would be here soon.

Finally, Richard followed Celes to a two-story building.

The exterior facade of the small building is made of the same black-gray marble as other buildings in the school.

Celes raised his hand and waved it gently. In an instant, more than ten wall lamps in the corridor on the first floor were automatically lit up.

"Richard, go to the second room on the first floor and take a rest. Tomorrow morning, someone will take you to go through the entrance test and related procedures. Go and take a rest."

After saying that, Celes went up to the second floor.

"Okay, mentor." Richard leaned forward slightly to greet.

Long before he came here, he had anticipated the situations he might encounter in the dark wizard school, such as a tutor with a weird personality, being cold or tyrannical.

But at the moment, the mentor in front of me is very good.

Judging from Richard's experience in his previous life, he felt that Ceres was not a tyrannical undead wizard, but a wizard who was obsessed with his own research.

The other person may have an indifferent expression and be not good at talking, perhaps simply because he does not want to pay attention to people or things that are not related to research.
