Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 8 Andre College

With the episode of "Ghost", Lyle's fear of tombs has been reduced a lot, and the speed of exploration has been accelerated a lot.The gravel road beneath my feet seemed to have no end. The surrounding tombstones gradually dwindled as they went deeper. The vegetation grew wildly because no one was taking care of them. The trees on both sides began to converge, and the vision in front of them was gradually obscured.

Lyle saw a mausoleum.

The ancient family mausoleum has several clusters of night eggplants dotted outside the door. The exterior looks slightly dilapidated, and the stone door is wide open, like the kind that is often visited by tomb robbers.

Lyle walked in.

Not like.The neatly arranged coffins were opened one by one, the surrounding urns were broken, and even the broken bones of a poor man were thrown on the ground.

A stone tablet stands in the middle of the large tomb, which seems to introduce the deeds of the owner of this tomb, but unfortunately it is an ancient script and cannot be understood.

"You should look at the back."

A low voice appeared behind Lyle, and a black figure leaned on the sarcophagus.

Lyle lifted the oil lamp over there, the figure was still shrouded in shadows, and the change in light did not disturb him.

Following his instructions, Lyle looked at the back of the stone tablet.

is a line of small print.

Andrea————for people who can't read Emmoy.

This is the destination.

Only then did Lyle turn his attention to the figure. He did not show hostility, and he guided himself, so it was from Andry's side.

"Isn't it bad to write random letters on other people's graves?"

"He wouldn't mind."

How do you know, he got up and talked to you?
Lyle stopped slandering and took out the stationery, "I'm here to study, to Angry College."

"It does seem to be a scholar," The Shadow Man dragged his chin as a reflection, "Don't be too nervous, you have passed the test, I am not an examiner, just a person who has come here, and I will discuss some optional precautions with the newcomer. Open the door for you."

Seems to be a better contact than expected.

"Andre may be a bit different from the college you imagined. It is more like a large-scale learning seminar. Each member has his own area of ​​expertise. The people around you may be your tutors and students at the same time. My personal advice is, don't stick to appearances, don't be arrogant or humble, and we have plenty of time to find the shining points in ourselves and others."

"Okay." Sounds good.

"Also, the more important point is to hide your identity," Sombra looked at Lyle's attire and nodded, "Disguise is necessary, you should also pay attention to your words and deeds in the future, it is best not to mention outside even if it is really necessary, to separate their identities through deception and inducement.”

"Like, I have a friend..."

"Who can't guess it's you."

"Then, is it okay to brag and fart?"

"Okay, it's really your ability to be fake, and others believe it's because they're stupid, don't care."

Lyle thought about Andrei's study atmosphere, just like the water group in the past, he usually chats and is kind, and reveals that his family is all in the sky, showing a nostalgic smile.

"This is the end of the introduction. I'll give you the door quickly. It's almost time for the Dean's speech."

"Oh."

The shadow threw a small object, and Lyle caught it and looked carefully with the light.

It is a signet ring, but the flower head is empty, and the place where the gem should be marked is empty.

Lyle felt something crawling up his arm. It was the little snake that was turned into a wax seal. After saving his life, he thought it had disappeared.

The snake climbed up on his fingers, entrenched in the flower head of the ring, swirled in circles, and finally turned into the flower head of Andre's emblem.Andre's Ring.

"You can only use the ring after ten o'clock every day. The way to use it is to press the seal. Remember to use it when no one is there. Someone from the academy will send you there."

"Teleportation magic?"

"You can call it whatever you want. The academy maintains a tolerant attitude towards all powers. The inheritance and continuation of forbidden knowledge is our only obligation. Remember to choose the location when sending it, where it came from, and it will be sent back when it is sent back. Where are you going, don't report at the church's stake the next day."

"Ah."

"If you have no doubts, go ahead."

"I still have a question, why is it repeatedly mentioned on the letter paper that the Holy Light is forbidden." Although it is not incomprehensible, after all, after being oppressed, it is inevitable that there will be resentment, but is this not in conflict with the purpose of inclusiveness?
The shadow covered his face. This was the only time Lyle had seen him, and he showed his emotions. "This is because of a special case. I won't explain it to you. You will know it later, that holy light brain."

Sombra didn't mean to explain, and Lyle didn't mention it again. He gestured goodbye to him, and pressed the ring's emblem with his left index finger. There was no sagging touch. Just when Lyle doubted whether it was effective, a sense of weightlessness suddenly acted on him.

He was lying on a circle painted with fluorescent patterns, with a blood moon above his head.

For a moment, he was no longer in Andre's mausoleum. The tall castle not far away could see its spire even if he was lying on his back.

Lyle looked around. The black-robed pretenders were moving around, slowly moving towards the castle. A mask slowly enlarged in Lyle's field of vision. It was a mask like white paper, with no facial features and no holes. , a full-coverage head wrap, Lyle didn't know how to put it on, nor how to breathe with it.The mask kept approaching, and finally hit the beak on Lyle's mask.

"How long are you going to lie down here?"

The sentence is an interrogative sentence, the tone is a declarative sentence, and it is a kind reminder in Lyle's ears.

He rolled into the open space next to him.

The faceless man was holding a book in his hand, with locations written on it. Every time he teleported, the locations above would dim by one.

"It's the peak period now. Faceless will be a little impatient. This is a good phenomenon. Did he scare you?"

The voice came from a gentleman next to him, wearing a light gray dress, with a withered rose pinned to his chest, a prom mask on his face, and shadows covering the rest, but Lyle could feel his smile.

Appears to be a gentleman.

"It didn't scare me, I was just teleporting for the first time, and I was a little dazed." Lyle didn't want to be ashamed.

"That's really unfortunate."

…withdrew the foreword.

"Introduce yourself, you can call me a gentleman."

Shameless.

"Hello, gentleman. You can call me, Epidemic Doctor."

"Okay, Mr. Epidemic Doctor, is this the first time to come to Andre?"

"Yes."

"Then do you need an experienced tour guide?" The gentleman put on a modest and polite gesture, as if shouting "I me me."

"I would be very grateful if I could invite a gentleman with you."

"That's my honor."

Although the gentleman speaks without a brain, he is generally an interesting person.Although talking to him will always bring you into an inexplicable context, like in a play, but group activities are human instincts.

The two walked side by side, with occasional exchanges along the way, following the black trend of their fellow travelers, heading towards the hall.
