Wizard : I have a system

At this time, the white and tender hand covering Meiluo's mouth gradually loosened.

This made Meiluo, who was originally extremely nervous, slowly relax, because judging from the other party's current behavior, the other party should have no ill intentions, and it seemed that he had just saved her.

Meiluo turned her head slightly and saw that the other person was indeed a human girl, who looked to be about the same age as her, with long emerald green hair that was particularly eye-catching.

The most important thing is that the other person was also wearing the apprentice robe of the Ignis School, and the pattern of two bone sticks on the chest made her feel particularly familiar in this predicament.

It seemed that Meiluo had seen the girl who saved her.

This green-haired girl seems to be a wizard apprentice from the same batch as Richard.

Oh, she remembered that the other person seemed to be the third place in the freshman ranking competition, named Ao.

Just as Meiluo opened her red lips and wanted to express her gratitude, the other person's face changed and he cautiously made a gesture of silence.

Meiluo looked confused.

But then her face changed drastically. She saw that the night elf male knight, who should have left, actually turned back to the vicinity and looked down to search for Meiluo's footprints.

This immediately shocked Meiluo!

However, Meiluo looked around and it seemed that she and the girl across from her were both under the protection of a small shielding magic formation.

In addition, the lushness of the vines here is also extraordinary, and it can be said that it is almost impenetrable.

Meiluo quickly and carefully recalled the process of her rescue.

At that time, I was entangled by a thick vine around my waist and was lifted into the air and brought directly here, so there were no footprints pointing to this side.

Only then did Meiluo feel relieved.

He glanced at the green-haired girl.

It seems that the school girl next to me is bold and careful.

When rescuing herself, she had already taken every aspect into consideration. Sure

enough, when the night elf man checked again and found that Meiluo's footprints had indeed disappeared on the cliff beside the waterfall, he finally gave up and turned around and left.

To be on the safe side, neither of them moved or said a word.

After a long time, there was no sign of the other party turning back.

The green-haired girl then said softly: "Okay, now you can rest assured, the other party is really gone this time!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Meiluo finally relaxed, like a snake whose spine had been pulled out. She almost collapsed to the ground, looking exhausted.

I ran for my life for a long time and finally managed to save my life.

Thank Goddess of Luck for blessing me!

"Junior, thank you for saving me. I think I should have seen you in the freshman qualifying competition. By the way, you should know Richard, right?" Meiluo spoke first.

"Hey, you also know Richard?" The green-haired girl looked at Meiluo curiously with a pair of bright eyes.

"Well, he and I are both students of Mr. Slyce. My name is Meiluo, Meiluo Norris."

"Oh, hello, my name is Ophelia, Ophelia Acorn!" Ophelia smiled.

Richard was one of her few friends. Unexpectedly, it was such a coincidence that the person she saved happened to be Richard's senior.

This made Ophelia, who was usually indifferent to socializing, feel that she had a special affinity with Meiluo and became much more enthusiastic than before.

Suddenly, the two girls started chatting with each other. With Richard as a common topic, they became very familiar with each other in a short while.

"Ophelia, do you know what happened in the Norman Secret Realm? How can we get out?"

"I'm not sure either. When I returned to the daily supply point in the core area of ​​the secret realm, I found a large number of night elf spider knights attacking the supply point." Ophelia recalled.

"As soon as I saw the situation was not good, I quickly evacuated the area."

"I often collect herbs in this area, so I am quite familiar with it. This is one of my resting spots. There is a waterfall next to it, so if things get really bad, I can jump down and escape."

Ophelia pointed to the side and saw that the vines that were originally impenetrable suddenly loosened up.

It seemed that the vines understood their owner's thoughts and left a blank space the size of a window, allowing Meiluo to clearly see the waterfall with a drop of more than 100 meters.

Meiluo nodded. As expected, in her impression, Ophelia was proficient in plant-based witchcraft. This made her feel like a fish in water in the dense forest. No wonder she was able to easily avoid the pursuit of the night elves.

"As for how to get out, I don't know either." Ophelia thought about it, but shook her head, looking confused.

This suddenly diluted Meiluo's joy at being rescued.

It seems that Ophelia and I are both trapped here!

——When

Richard opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dense forest. He could hear the calls of many unknown animals and plants, and the warm air with a hint of grass and wood fragrance flowed into his nose.

Looking around, Richard found that he was surrounded by tall trees, shrubs and many vines.

In terms of species, these plants are mainly ferns in various forms.

This gave Richard an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

In the gray fern wilderness, there are basically ferns.

However, there are fewer tall tree plants in the gray fern wilderness than here.

This was his first time in the secret realm.

So, Richard simply moved a few times and found that he felt no discomfort at all.

On the contrary, because of the lush vegetation, the oxygen and negative ion content in the air are relatively high, giving him a very comfortable feeling.

The lighting around is moderate, not coming from the sun, but like the polar day phenomenon.

Inside the secret realm, there are day and night just like outside, but the sky during the day is brighter than that at night.

It's just that the day and night in the secret realm are not so distinct. There is no scorching sun in the daytime and no bright moonlight at night.

Therefore, it is very difficult to determine the directions of east, south, west and north in the secret realm.

The method commonly used in the wild, which is to determine the direction based on the sparseness of tree rings, is useless in the secret realm.

Because the principle of determining the direction of annual rings is based on the fact that the growth will be more vigorous on the sunny side of the plant, the annual rings in this direction will be relatively sparse.

On the contrary, the annual rings will be denser.

However, the sparseness of the annual rings here can determine one thing, which is the core location and direction of the secret realm.

The principle of energy circulation in the secret realm is that the closer to the core area, the stronger the light or energy radiation, and the denser the sun-loving trees. The sparseness of the annual rings of these trees indicates the location of the core area.

Richard used the mimicry wristband to transform into a knight's sword. He cut off a tree at random, observed the growth rings, and determined the location of the core area.

But he did not head towards the core area.

The first thing he did when he arrived at the Norman Secret Realm was to meet up with Stephanie.

Therefore, the direction he was heading now was exactly towards the direction of Stephanie that he sensed.

With the survival experience in the Grey Fern Wilderness, Richard rushed all the way!

Relying on the apprentice's extreme mental power and the breath-retaining special effect of Rodrigo's meditation method, Richard was always able to discover and avoid some powerful monsters in advance.

Of course, for monsters that are not that strong and can be dealt with by Richard with one sword, he will certainly not let go of the energy points that come to his doorstep.

About an hour later, Richard suddenly stopped and moved his ears slightly, as if there was some movement in front of him on the right.

Immediately, he found a thick tree to hide behind.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, clear sounds of fighting were heard.

A figure appeared right in front of Richard's sight and fled quickly from right to left.

Richard had a keen vision and saw at a glance that the other person was wearing a gray wizard robe.

Although the pattern on the man's chest could not be seen clearly, he must be an apprentice from one of the three major undead wizard academies.

Then the enemy chasing us must be...

"Boom!"

A dark fireball the size of a washbasin suddenly hit the trunk of a tall tree several meters behind the man, causing a violent explosion.

The scorching flames burned quickly, and then the tree trunk was quickly corroded by the dark gray energy.

Under the double damage, a terrifying huge hole was corroded on the trunk of the tree, big enough for a seven or eight-year-old child to fit in.

Richard's heart trembled, because although the Dark Fireball was also a zero-level witchcraft, it required the caster to have affinity with both dark and fire elements, and was quite difficult to perform.

Obviously, the party chasing the gray-robed apprentice must be the masters among the night elves.

After a moment's thought, Richard began to prepare for battle, intending to rescue the apprentice in front of him first and inquire about the situation.

However, when he saw clearly the enemy behind him, he immediately retracted his eager figure.

What caught Richard's eyes was a gigantic spider monster, the size of a calf. The dark fireball just now was actually its masterpiece, and behind it were at least five night elves wearing sophisticated knight armor.

Hiss! The Magic Spider Knights!

Richard didn't expect to encounter one of the elite night elves, the Magic Spider Knights, so soon.

Obviously, it is impossible!

And judging from this scene, the situation faced by the wizard apprentices of the three major academies in the secret realm is more difficult than imagined.

This made his heart tremble, and he couldn't help but worry more about Meiluo's situation.

Senior Meiluo hopes you can hold on!

Richard frowned, and immediately stepped back slowly, making a slight detour to avoid the other party.

He continued to move towards Stephanie's direction, accelerating.

Soon, Richard realized that Stephanie should be just ahead.

Therefore, Richard brought the breath-concealing effect of meditation to its fullest extent, and slowly moved forward relying on the cover of grass and trees.

I saw Stephana and three night elf male knights, talking and laughing, moving towards my left side.

And judging from the formation, Stephanie was walking in the middle of the three people. As for the other three, one was leading the way in front, and the other two were protecting Stephanie on both sides, but they were all about half a body length behind.

This shows that Stephanie has a higher status among the four.

After a little thought, Richard figured out why, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Apparently, this team of three Demon Spider Knights mistook Stephana in front of them for the dead senior spider lady Shadra.

Sure enough, as they approached, Richard immediately verified his guess after hearing their conversation.

"Your Highness Shadra, how did you enter the Norman Secret Realm?" a night elf male knight asked respectfully.

He was also very confused. He clearly remembered that in the action plan, only one princess, Princess Dolores, would enter the Norman Secret Realm.

How come His Highness Shadra, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly entered the secret realm?

Could it be that this was the order of the mistress?

He was just an ordinary member of the Demon Spider Knights, and he knew very little about the action plan, so he asked immediately.

Stephanie smiled charmingly and said, "I was previously injured by a formal wizard from the surface humans, and my strength was greatly reduced. After recovering for a long time, the mistress ordered me to come here this time for a special mission."

"Why, do you want to find out the mistress's secret orders?"

"I dare not." Beads of sweat appeared on the forehead of the night elf male knight.

Richard's eyes lit up. It was obvious that Stephanie had begun to fool the other party.

As far as he knew, the night elves were a matriarchal society, and the social status of an ordinary spider woman was much higher than that of an ordinary night elf man.

Not to mention Shadra, a high-level spider woman who was originally a first-level wizard.

And judging from the way they addressed her as Her Royal Highness, the three night elves had already recognized Stephanna's noble status!

At this moment, Stephana looked around. Although the three night elves felt it was strange, they also thought that His Highness Shadra was more cautious.

But Richard knew that Stephanie was looking for her place.

He could sense Stephana's location, and apparently, Stephana, who was on the other side of the blood oath contract, could also sense him.

"Your Highness Dorothy, I would be very happy to meet you." The night elf male knight complimented.

"Hey, Dolores is here too?"

Stephanie seemed to have a vague impression of the three words, but because her inherited memories were extremely fragmented and incomplete, she could not remember the other person's specific face or information.

All she knew was that she was very familiar with the other party, and his strength should not be inferior to hers.

At this moment, an eagle tail arrow shot out from the dense forest like lightning and hit the night elf knight who was clearing the way in front.

The arrow is too fast!

When the arrow was about to hit the target, a sound of breaking through the air was heard in the air: "Whoosh!"

"Be careful!" A night elf in the rear couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw the fatal arrow shot at his companion.

"bite!"

To Richard's surprise.

Unexpectedly, the Night Elf Knight who was doomed in his eyes actually avoided the heart in the nick of time and was only severely injured in the abdomen, but not yet fatal!

This made Richard's heart tremble, and he realized that the opponent this time was different from the previous ones.

He is absolutely elite, and compared with him, he may just be a step behind!

"Enemy attack! Protect His Highness!" the Dark Night Man in the middle shouted instantly.

Another night elf man raised his shield to guard in front of Stephanie and blew a whistle. In an instant, his companion demon spider appeared behind him and rushed to the bushes on the left where Richard was hiding.

Suddenly, in the surprised gaze of the three night elves, an enormous abomination suddenly jumped out from the depths of the forest, accompanied by the sound of grass breaking.

"Boom boom boom!"

Holding an oversized iron axe and a chain, he strode wildly towards the night elves.

The demon spider was knocked several meters away after only one direct confrontation with the hatred, demonstrating the absolute gap in strength.

Just as the three Demon Spider Knights were facing a formidable enemy and focusing all their attention on the ferocious abomination in front of them, Stephania, who was behind the three of them, raised the corners of her mouth slightly and revealed a weird smile.

Her originally two white and tender hands had quietly and silently turned into a pair of black blade arms shining with cold light.
