Chapter 242 The Howling Wind of Darkness
The wind blows from the direction of Mingjing Lake.
Although the sun has set, there is still a fiery red sunset in the sky, and the sky is not yet dark.
Looking from the terrace towards Mingjing Lake, you can clearly see that the entire Mingjing Lake and the teaching area where Mingjing Lake is located are shrouded in a dark mist.
"What happened to the college!"
Roland quickly took out the flint ring and put it on. After inputting mana, ripples of mana spread in all directions.
He was warning the academy and seeking responses from the escort wizards, especially from the Mingjing Lake area.
The warning array lasted for half a minute, and several responses were heard from other directions of the academy, but the Mingjing Lake area was still silent.
However, due to the college celebration, the area was the most guests, and the most escort wizards were also the most, accounting for at least 70% of the entire college’s escort force.
Without a response, all the guards were lost. They had an accident almost at the same time, and they were even likely to be dead.
"Director Howard has been sitting near the Golden Auditorium these days. Has something happened to him?
Roland was extremely anxious. He strode to the balcony and quickly released a Marenlo feather surgery to himself. He was about to jump down and he wanted to go to the lake to see what happened.
"Don't go!" Dandilaya's shout came from behind.
Roland looked back and saw Dandylaya standing by the balcony door, her face that had always been quiet showed a hint of fear: "Don't go, Roland, that area has completely fallen. There is no living person anymore, if you go, you will die!"
Roland was shocked: "A living person is gone? How is that possible?"
"The power of darkness is too strong, and ordinary people will never survive in that place. In that area, even high-level mages may not be able to withstand it."
"Can't even a high-level mage stop it?" Roland murmured.
Howard is a high-level mage. He has never responded to Roland's warning, which indirectly proves Dandilaya's words.
Even a strong man like Howard has fallen. Now he is heading to the shore of Mingjing Lake, which is indeed no different from dying.
But what happened to Howard, can he ignore it?
Since he entered the academy, the old master has always taken great care of him. He is a kind and gentle elder, and he is also a friend of his mentor Lokandi. If he did nothing, he would really not be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart.
Dandilaya knew Roland's character and she shouted: "Roland, this has exceeded your ability limit, or even my ability limit. We can't do anything now. The goddess of night Sha'er has won, and she got the academy as she wishes. The only thing we can do is leave quickly!"
Roland was extremely unwilling to accept it, but the dark power that could hardly be dissolved by the Mingjing Lake was really terrifying, just like an insurmountable mountain that could not be moved or moved, and could only hide.
He gritted his teeth, gave up his unrealistic ideas, and strode towards Dandilaya.
Dandilaya breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that Roland would be in trouble and would rush out to save people regardless of it. Now it seems that he has not lost his mind yet.
"Let's go, let's leave in a carriage!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a horse's neighing sound from the yard. In a few seconds, the sound of wheels started.
Roland ran to the balcony and saw a blue-top and white-body carriage driving out of the yard quickly and ran away in a blink of an eye.
He was stunned: "Aya, Mr. Ake seems to have run away in a carriage!"
Dandilaya was stunned for a few seconds and sighed: "Hey~ I always knew he was unreliable. No matter he was, we would walk over without a carriage. Remember, the academy has completely fallen, we should move quickly and move less, so as not to attract attention and unexpected changes."
"good!"
When the two arrived at the room, Roland quickly took a few bottles of flaming wine and brought it with them, then quickly went downstairs. When they arrived at the second floor, Dandilaya rushed to the study: "Wait for me, I'll go get something, soon!"
Roland nodded and stood by the door waiting for her.
After about 2 minutes, Dandilaya ran out of the study. She changed into neat leather armor, a hat on her head, covering most of her face, and a bulging backpack in her hands.
Seeing that she was struggling to carry her, Roland took her backpack and carried it on her.
"Let's go to the teleportation array west of the college, that's the only exit of the college."
As he said that, Dandilaya ran towards the door first, and Roland quickly followed.
When he arrived in the yard, Roland found that the servants in the villa had run away. The yard was empty and there was no one. Outside the yard, a carriage drove by quickly from time to time.
The servants in the villa area may not know what happened to the academy, but panic is contagious. The servant Ak ran away desperately, and there were wizards running everywhere on the road. The servants ran wildly behind the carriage, crying while running, and the situation was extremely chaotic.
Unfortunately, the dark wind kept invading, and the mages could still cast spells to resist, so these ordinary people were in trouble and could only use their flesh and blood to resist.
Roland and Dandylaya were running with the crowd.
He saw that those ordinary people were running fast at the beginning, but as they ran, their faces turned pale and blue, their mouths, noses, and eyes gradually overflowed with blood. From time to time, some people couldn't hold on and fell on the side of the road, and their bodies twitched violently, as if they were having epilepsy.
A little boy was running behind his mother. As he ran, his mother fell to the ground, motionless, and life and death were unknown. The little boy also vomited blood. He lay on the ground and struggled and cried.
Roland felt pity and wanted to take a handful.
Dandyraya pulled him hard: "Don't go, I can't save you!"
There are thousands of servants in the villa area, and the invasion of the dark wind is going on every moment. Roland is just a mid-level mage, and it is difficult to protect himself. If you want to save someone, you will most likely trap yourself in.
He also knew this, and gritted his teeth, turned around and stopped looking at the crying little boy, but turned around and continued to run towards the west of the college.
As they ran, there were no one standing on the road, but from time to time, people fell to the ground on the road, bleeding from their mouths and noses, and dying.
The carriages were not visible, they were fast and had already left the two behind far behind.
On the lakeside avenue, only Roland and Dandilaya were left.
Seeing this terrifying scene, Roland was very glad that Director Howard persuaded his mentor and Lily to return to Green Leaf Manor early in the morning.
If the mentor and Lily were also on the shore of Mingjing Lake, he would rush in no matter what, and he would see people alive and corpses even when he died!
Dandilaya's body had not recovered yet, and she ran here wildly, panting, pale, and staggering.
If Roland hadn't kept holding her hand, she would have fallen on the side of the road.
"Roland~ You go first, I can't run anymore, I'm going to rest for a while."
At this time, how could Roland run away alone? He immediately pulled off the backpack on his back and held it in his hand, and squatted down beside Dandilaya: "Come on, I have enough physical strength! I will carry you away!"
"No, no, no, you go first. Don't worry, I have enough magic power and will catch up with you soon!"
"Stop talking nonsense, come up!"
Dandiraya mana is enough, but her body is far from recovering and she cannot use mana frequently. If it is consumed in transition, it will only aggravate her injuries and may even cause dizziness.
Seeing Dandilayahai hesitating a little, Roland forced her to carry her back and continued to run forward.
Unlike Dandilaya, although he has also experienced the life diversion technique, he has lost only some blood. After two months of raising it, he has basically recovered it. Now he is very physically strong, and even if he is carrying someone on his back, he runs very fast.
After a while, Roland ran to the entrance of the Lakeside House residential area.
The lakeside homes are all apprentices, and many of them are invited by the college to attend the celebration.
When he arrived here, Roland was shocked to find that there were also many people lying on the ground at the entrance of the residential area. Judging from the clothes and dressing, most of them were guests, and a small number were spell apprentices.
Everyone looked surprisingly consistent, with bleeding from the mouth and nose, gray complexion, breathing as if it was silent, and it seemed that it would stop at any time. At first glance, there were at least five or six hundred people lying on the ground in this area.
"Aya, will they all die?" Roland was so nervous that he saw it. Tens of thousands of people in the entire academy were killed. If they were all dead, it would definitely be a tragedy that shocked the world!
Dandilaya shook her head: "They don't necessarily die."
"I won't die? Can I live?" Roland was stunned.
"After a while, these people may stand up again, but they will completely lose their minds and become slaves to Sha'er, the goddess of night."
"Slave? Can everyone do it?"
"All those who have been eroded by the power of darkness will be the academy that is already the realm of the goddess of night Sha'er."
Roland was shocked. He didn't dare to stay for a long time and ran forward desperately.
After running for a while, he suddenly saw many figures in front of him, with more than a dozen people. They were not fast and staggering, but each of them held hands and moved forward side by side.
Roland speeded up and chased after him, and found Nana and Trunks. The other dozen people were all familiar faces, all of them were fighting mages, and they were members of the Tongmenghui.
Their condition looked very bad, their faces were pale, and some of them had bleeding from their mouths and noses.
They are all low-level mages, with insufficient mana and very reluctant to resist the dark wind. The reason why they can persist until now is probably thanks to their physical training over the past period of time.
In terms of physical fitness alone, these combat mages are definitely one of the best in the academy.
Needless to say, Dandilaya took action. In a blink of an eye, a layer of transparent water film was added to the body of more than a dozen people.
Nana was also very surprised when she saw Roland: "Roland~ah~Master~ It's great to see you!"
Trunks breathed a sigh of relief, he wiped his nose and looked horrified: "Roland, what happened?"
Roland took out a bottle of green flame wine from his arms and handed it to Tran: "A sip, everyone takes turns to drink it, which can help resist the invasion of the dark wind."
Everyone immediately did it. After a bottle of green flame wine was gone, everyone's face improved a lot.
Roland continued to carry Dandilaya on his back and ran towards the teleportation array with everyone. He ran and explained: "I don't know what happened, but the dark wind blew from the direction of Mingjing Lake. The master said that there may be no living people on the banks of Mingjing Lake."
"Hiss~"
"Creator~"
"Oh my God~ there are at least seven or eight thousand people over there, are they all over?"
"It's over, it's all over!"
More than a dozen combat mages all looked shocked, feeling that all this was like a nightmare!
Everyone ran towards the teleportation array desperately.
While running, suddenly, a violent wave of mana came from the direction of Mingjing Lake.
The mana fluctuation was so violent that it made Roland feel dizzy after being separated by five or six miles. As for Nana, Trunks and others, they were even tilted and unable to stand firmly.
Everyone turned their heads and looked towards Mingjing Lake, and saw a golden ball of light rising in the thick darkness!
The light of this ball of light is extremely fierce, just like the sun. Under its illumination, the darkness of Mingjing Lake is almost completely pierced, and the entire basin is reflected like daytime.
"That's it?"
“What’s the situation?”
"What happened?"
When everyone speculated, Roland had an answer in his mind, but he was not sure.
Chapter completed!
