Mysterious as the wind, always with me.

Chapter 30 Lady Lantern's 'Fuel'

People in the Celestial Dynasty always liked to post door gods.

Is there a possibility that the door god used to be the real door god?
At the gate of the Elemental Academy, a strange monster with a height of about half a person and a shape that looks a bit like a little devil was directly imprisoned. No one would really treat it as a little devil, right?

Who would enshrine the little devil at the gate of his house like a treasure?

Mark bets 50 Wright cents!
That thing is at least the level of the Balrog.

Otherwise, the students of Elemental College can be shameless, so don't the instructors have shame?

If that's the case, the academy will close down immediately.

The Academy of Elements has pretended to be like this, but what about the mysterious academy that is as famous as it?
Mark had listened carefully, and the roar of the 'Balrog' at the gate of the Elemental Academy still echoed in this inner world.This means that some of the restrictions of the Mistry school in reality are also valid in the other world.

He didn't know what operations or incantations were needed to trigger the door god of the mystery academy.

It is enough for him to have 20 dice.

Tossed lightly, the dice, like a small pineapple, whirled on the ground.

[13] points!

Neither high nor low, as long as it works.

On the gate of the academy in the mist, the oil paint covered by vines and stains seemed to have turned into some kind of magical living creature.Started twisting and twisting.The vines above withered in the blink of an eye, turning into finger-sized broken branches and falling down.

The mist that permeated around the gate dissipated on the spot under the jet of mysterious blue light whizzing out from the gap in the gate wall.

The surrounding scenery changed immediately, and it felt like a master oil painter was coloring his own draft.

Quiet and terrifying corridors, dilapidated and desolate departments, blackened and faded blood stains on the door, dry grass roots emerging from the cracks in the walls and floor tiles...

Within a radius of 200 meters from the gate, everything has become the appearance of the real world.

At both ends of the gate, there were originally oil paintings of the founder of the academy and the current dean.

Now, the person in the painting seems to come to life.

With a mysterious energy as thick as blue fluorescent agent, two strong men in robes stepped out of the frame.

Obviously, before Mark entered the door today, he had seen the portrait of the founder of the mountain, and suddenly he found that he had forgotten the other person's appearance.Even at this moment, looking at the phantom that stepped out of the sky, he can only tell that it is a man wearing a round felt hat, he wears a special round lens on his right eye, and holds an inlaid lens in his left hand. A staff with a large ruby, and a black gown with a cloak.

That's all, Mark couldn't see the other person's face at all.

On the contrary, the acting dean could see clearly that it was an elderly lady.

She was wearing a black velvet dress with a wonderful white lace high-neck lining, her silver hair was coiled behind her head, and a small embroidered white umbrella was suspended above her head, spinning continuously.

Her wrinkled face seemed to stretch out at this moment.

Looking around, the two powerful beings with somewhat translucent figures looked at each other and smiled.

"Oh! A little accident."

The acting dean bowed slightly to the patriarch: "Then don't bother the honorable dean."

"Ah."

As soon as the words fell, the figure of the patriarch disappeared in place, leaving only the present dean.

The old woman glanced at Mark, and Mark bowed on the spot.

This is the respect due to the strong, even if the opponent is probably just a clone.

The old woman seemed to want to imprint this handsome figure in her eyes, and immediately nodded with a smile, not taking the screaming footless centipede seriously.

The roar in the distance moved from far to near, and the violent destructive force made the centipede charge with countless debris around its body.

close!

Closer!
The centipede changed her target, and the first thing she threw at was not Mark, but the dean who gave her a stronger sense of threat.

Under the violent and fast pounce, the two of Mark could even see the hook-like fangs inside the extremely large centipede mouthparts.

Seeing that the centipede's huge mouthparts could bite Mr. Dean blocking the way in the next second, suddenly, the entire field of vision in front of him became blurred.

The corners of Mark's eyes twitched, and it seemed that the entire field of vision was tumbling layer upon layer like thick smoke. If his calculations were correct, it was likely that the space in this inner world had changed!

For a moment, Miss Byson, whom Mark was holding, subconsciously hugged his waist tightly in fright.

I saw the dean pressing forward with his right hand, and said loudly: "The mystery of this place has been strengthened!"

In the next second, the violent vibration that shook the entire vestibule of the college suddenly disappeared.

That was a very weird picture.

The legless centipede, which was obviously tens of meters long, jumped up like a swimming snake, twisting its body violently in mid-air.

There was no movement around her.

The evil spirit overflowing from frenzy is gone.

The deafening roar of crashing buildings was gone.

Even the sharp hissing sound of the giant centipede itself was gone.

In the end, the tens of meters long centipede just disappeared into the air.

In the end what happened?
The two of Mark, no, and a few students from the Mystery Academy who were not afraid of death and came from afar witnessed such a mysterious scene together.

"There!" Following Miss Byson's fingers, everyone finally discovered that the vicious centipede, which had devoured an unknown number of students with its powerful body and strange laws, was actually inside a thick test tube in the hands of the dean.

At this moment, the lady in a long dress let her dress flutter in the air. The small magic wand in her hand was similar to that used by an orchestra conductor, except that it was emitting the purest blue light.

Between the magic wand and the other hand, there was a test tube about as thick and long as an adult man's upper arm.

If you have enough eyesight, you can see that the lady centipede who has lost all her legs has turned into an ordinary big centipede two fingers thick, but she is even more irritable, frantically writhing her body without pincers, and screaming screams from her mouth. cry.

It's a pity that her whole body seemed to be grasped by invisible hands, and she was allowed to struggle hard in the test tube, shaking her body violently, and she couldn't even touch the glass wall of the test tube.

"This……"

This move really surprised Mark.

As the dean, he really has the ability of the dean, and even a mere avatar has such high strength.

"Shut up!" the dean sternly shouted.

Others didn't feel much, but to the centipede, it was like a law issued by the gods.Her blood-stained and dirty body immediately lost its vitality, and she no longer screamed, but her sharp mouthparts kept opening and closing, as if breathing the thinner air with all her strength.

A blue light shot out from the dean's hand, and shone warmly on the big centipede.

"So that's how it is..." The dean turned his head slowly, looked at Mark, and the expression on his face became extremely gentle: "Wonderful! Really wonderful! I didn't expect that our college would produce such an excellent student as you. Fortunately for the Mystery Academy."

Asking Minnie to put herself down, Mark let go of Miss Byson, and saluted the dean: "Your Excellency, you are too proud."

"It's not an exaggeration, you deserve such a compliment. Without you, this time would probably be a bad event."

"What is this..." Mark asked boldly.

"Huh? Didn't you come here after knowing the risks of the 'Graduation Trial'?"

"Graduation trial? What graduation trial?" Mark was stunned.

The dean glanced at Mark, and seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly laughed: "I didn't expect that the one who solved this crisis turned out to be an intruder. It's really interesting."

Mark hurriedly asked: "Your Excellency, please explain in detail."

The dean shook his head: "For specific matters, you can ask my body. As a reward this time, I can give you part of it in advance."

The dean slowly descended and landed in front of Mark, holding up the large test tube suspended in her hand.

"This [evil] should have been annihilated in the soul. But she made a bet with her last mysterious energy, and at the cost of becoming your exclusive [abnormal] item if she lost, in exchange for the last 10 minutes of life and power to hunt you down."

Mark felt a toothache on the spot.

How much did Aunt Susie hate him?
Mark asked again: "How is this possible?"

"Normally speaking, [Evil] will not become like this. They will become more chaotic monsters, or they will be annihilated on the spot. But obviously, it has made a deal with the mysterious existence of a lawful camp .Now, since she can't kill you, she can only become a prop without self-awareness. This guy hates you..."

Before the dean could finish speaking, a sharp and piercing voice exploded in mid-air.

Unlike Aunt Susie's voice, Lady Centipede's voice was full of sharpness at this time.

"I'm not reconciled! I don't accept it! Even if it's stipulated by the law, I will never make it easier for you—" The hatred of gnashing teeth can be said to soar into the sky: "I declare——every time I use me, the price is a pair of Live human legs! Hahahaha! How can you use me?"

The unruly laughter kept echoing in the void.

Mark's face turned black, and every time he uses it, a human leg is wasted?Is this forcing me to be the Great Demon King?
Mark made up his mind almost on the spot that he would never use this thing.

At this moment, Madam Dean raised her eyebrows.

"Oh? There's still something tricky?" The dean flickered the blue light in his hand: "It's all right now."

After all, the figure of the centipede in the test tube began to fade, and within a few seconds it turned into a stream of light, flying towards the lantern pinned to Mark's waist.

"This……"

Mark froze.

The originally ordinary kerosene lantern suddenly had a rectangular emerald nameplate on the top of the lamp. If you look closely, you will find that the relief on it is a big centipede with teeth and claws.

A flash of fire lit up, and a note appeared out of nowhere, and fell into Mark's palm.

It reads in flamboyant Wright:

[Anomaly (Exorcism Lantern): The holder holds it, which can illuminate the radius of [-] steps, [-] steps, and [-] steps in three ways: ordinary light, dark vision light, and exorcism light. 】

[Exorcism lanterns have the ability to increase wealth and exorcise evil spirits]

[The only fuel it needs is - (human) legs!The more quantity the better! 】

Mark clearly saw that [human legs] were originally written on this 'instruction manual', and most of them were the type of legs that would become useless the more they were used.

Now, the word 'person' was crossed out by the dean.

A smile bloomed on Mark's face: "Dear Miss Lantern, I announce that your staple food in the future will be—mosquito legs!"
