The Witcher: Start with getting the Crimson modifier

Chapter 97 Black Mist
Aaron stood on the pier: "Miss Irene, it seems that the academy's classes are about to start."

"Is the rune ring hot?" Erin asked.

"It's not too hot, and the temperature is not as hot as before."

Irene waved her hand: "This is the academy telling you to prepare yourself. There should be no signposts when you input magic power into it now."

Aaron tried it and found that it was true.

Without signposts, Aaron didn't know where to go to class.

"Usually, the official start of the class will be three days later, and you can stay here for another three days."

Aaron shook his head: "I can't, lest I have to trouble Miss Irene to make another trip."

Irene: "In the past, there was no trouble or no trouble, but now I really don't have time."

Aaron pointed to the side of the guide and asked in a low voice, "Miss Irene, is it something over there?"

"You pack your things, let's go to the boat and talk."

"I don't have anything, I packed everything up, and cleaned everything in the house."

Irene took a look at Aaron: "Unexpectedly, you are quite diligent."

Aaron does not shy away from his origin: "Before I came to the academy, I did this exclusively."

"Hahaha, I'll have something to brag about from now on," Irene stood on the boat, her fox ears hidden in her hair trembling lightly, her eyebrows beaming, "The great wizard Aaron used to be my house cleaner. "

"Yes, yes," Aaron asked blankly at Irene's joke, "So kind Miss Irene, when will you be able to settle the cleaning fee that has been in arrears for half a year?"

Irene chuckled, and said solemnly: "I can hire you and give you a job. If you don't know how to be grateful, it's fine, but you dare to ask for salary maliciously!"

"So asking for wages breaks the law, so it's reasonable to owe wages?"

"Hahahaha," Irene laughed loudly: "How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world, who dares to owe us a salary?"

Irene raised her fist and waved it vigorously twice: "Kill him!"

"Okay, don't be silly, time is really fast, Aaron, let's go."

Aaron picked up his simple luggage and set foot on the boat.

The boatman propped up the boat pole, and the boat sailed away from the pier. The runes on it were activated, and the boat suddenly turned into an off-string arrow, riding the wind and waves, dragging a long white tail wave, and driving on the vast sea .

Aaron and Irene bowed their heads and walked into the cabin. Irene used the magic of silence to prevent their conversation from being heard by the boatman outside:
"The Southern Islands have been blocked."

"Locked up?" Aaron asked. "Did the Academy do it?"

"No," Irene explained: "The area over there is shrouded in a black mist-like thing, and the inside and outside are isolated.

The academy has sent official wizards to investigate. "

"Did Ms. Eunice go too?" Aaron suddenly remembered that Irene's mother had left Jialan a few months ago.

"My mother is also in the team investigating the wizard." Irene frowned slightly, a little worried about her mother.

"Ms. Eunice is so strong, she will be fine." Aaron comforted.

"I hope." Her mother disappeared half a month ago. Not only her mother, but also the other wizards of the investigation team are also missing.

However, the magic marks they left in the academy are still there, indicating that their lives are not in danger, and they may just be trapped in the black mist.

Aaron didn't expect that during the two months he was on the island, such an astonishing change would occur in the Southern Islands.

This black mist thinks about it with its butt and knows that there is a big problem.

Aaron is now worried that the academy will send their freshmen to the Southern Islands.

Seeing Aaron's worried look, Irene laughed dumbfoundedly: "You don't have to worry too much, the academy generally won't send freshmen like you to troubles of this level."

The purpose of the academy is to train soldiers, not to let apprentices queue up to die.

"unless."

Aaron asked softly, "Unless?"

"Unless things over there are so dangerous that the academy has to transfer freshmen like you."

Aaron was stunned: "If this is the case, wouldn't the academy mean that the country is about to perish?"

When this step is really reached, it is equivalent to being a soldier of all the people in the previous life.

Irene laughed heartily: "It's just a small crisis, and the two of us actually thought of the worst outcome."

"The college has been in existence for more than 1300 years. I haven't seen any kind of ups and downs. Okay, let's not talk about this. Would you like to go to the cage to receive actual combat training?"

"Of course." Fighting is a part that wizards can never avoid.

With actual combat experience, if you really encounter an enemy, you can deal with it in time.

"By the way, there is something you need to pay attention to."

Aaron's heart skipped a beat, and he thought to himself, "I'm probably the reincarnation of a troublemaker. I've been on the island for more than two months and the weather has been calm, but when I come out, all kinds of troubles come one after another?" '

"Some apprentices from the Gatherer Mutual Aid are looking for you."

The Gatheril Mutual Aid Association was led by the Gatheril royal family.

The four principalities, the two kingdoms, and the empire all have similar organizations in Jialan. For ordinary apprentices, this organization is quite good.

Generally speaking, apprentices from various countries will join these mutual aid associations and sign up for groups to keep warm.

But there are also loners who go it alone.

And within these organizations, small private organizations such as fraternities and sororities were established based on the relationship between apprentices.

'I don't have much communication with the Gatherer Mutual Aid Society, why are they looking for me? Aaron was puzzled, and at this moment, a face that he had almost forgotten appeared in Aaron's mind.

Anga.

"Miss Irene, are they looking for me because of Anga Gatherel?"

Irene nodded and said softly, "That's right, it's for An Jia's business."

In order to avoid some unnecessary misunderstandings, Irene took the initiative to explain: "I am in charge of the intelligence department of the beast cage. I saw this when I was processing intelligence, and I will pay attention to it for you."

"Thank you Miss Irene." Irene's timely reminder helped Aaron.

"Why are you being polite to me?" Irene rolled her eyes and said, "The apprentice standing behind An Jia is named Andrew. This person is his cousin. The two have a good relationship."

"Apprentice Andrew has awakened the blood talent of Gatheril Black Snake, and the contract level he signed with the academy is β level."

When Aaron heard the name, he immediately remembered the star-studded Andrew whom he had met in the Jialan Library.

Unexpectedly, he and An Jia had such a relationship.

What a coincidence.

Aaron frowned slightly, feeling a little troublesome.

Irene thought that Aaron was worried about this matter, and said in relief:
"You don't have to worry too much. They have been looking for you for more than half a month, but because they couldn't find you, they didn't have anything to say."
