   Chapter 2 Secret

   The cool moonlight shines.

   On the gravel road, boys and girls walked side by side, dark shadows swaying behind them.

   "Yeah, our hometown..." Erica sighed a little.

  Almost ten years ago, in Lane, the capital of the Holy Flame Kingdom, she and Colin detected the wizarding talent together. Later, together with qualified children from other cities and countries, they were brought to this island by the mysterious and powerful wizard Rapp.

  Ten years... just like that.

   "I really don't know if there will be a chance to go back again." Erica looked up at the white full moon, her golden hair slipped from her tender and fair face, and fell softly behind her head.

   "...there is a chance." Colin replied in a low voice, his face pale, he was trying to digest the memory.

   Erica forced a smile when she heard the words, she just thought Colin was comforting her. There are too many innumerable dangers at sea. Without becoming an official wizard, there is no way to return to Ryan.

   "Did you miss Ryan? Colin." She looked at the full moon and continued to ask.

   "I miss it." Colin nodded slightly and exhaled lightly. He finally recovered, and the pain in his head was no longer there.

   He raised his head and looked at the moon, which was very similar to his previous life, and added: "...I miss it very much."

  Ten years ago, the original owner was a little over 7 years old. He was born in a middle-class family. He had parents who loved him and a two-year-old sister.

  In memory, the original owner, like Erica, has always missed Ryan very much.

   And he... misses the earth too.

  Although I have just traveled through the journey, my homesickness is far stronger than when I traveled far away on Earth.

  The gravel road under your feet, the black stone buildings beside you, the specious full moon in the sky...everything is unfamiliar.

   He clearly and clearly realized that now he is in a strange land separated by an unknown number of parallel universes...

   As for Erica and the original owner, there is actually no special relationship between them, and even when Ryan was a time, the two did not know each other.

   But later, because they were all from Ryan, they had a natural sense of intimacy in their identities, and they lived in an adjacent stone house in the wizard, so now they can be regarded as good friends.

  Erika came to find him, and it was the stone house where they went back to live together.

   "Colin...If possible, I want to ask you one thing." Erica retracted her gaze from the moon and turned to Colin. The blonde hair around her ears slid with gravity, covering her small ears again.

   "If...I mean if, if you can become a full-fledged wizard later on and come back to Lane, I hope you can greet my parents for me..."

   Facing Erica's expectant gaze, Colin's lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to explain something, but in the end he just nodded.

  The two walked for a while, and Colin said:

   "Dark forest... It's too dangerous. Even if you can't advance after three months, you'll just go to live in a gathering place outside, there's no need..."

   "But then there's no hope of going home!"

   Erica wrinkled her nose and interrupted Colin,

   "On the entire island, only the Lapp School has official wizards, and only the Lapp School has the ability to train official wizards...

   Moreover, if you stay in the school, even if you can't become a full-fledged wizard, you still have the hope of returning to Ryan with the school's five-year recruiting fleet. "

   She sighed again and continued: "If you go outside and become a wild wizard, there is no hope anymore.

   You also know that when the assessment is over, we will no longer be protected by the school, and those wild wizards in the periphery have long since formed gangs.

   Junior apprentices like us used to be...it's no longer easy to survive, wanting to do other things...it's impossible. "

  Erica's face was full of loneliness, and she whispered: "...I have no other choice but to try my luck in the dark forest, Colin."

  Colin was silent, he could hear that Erica had thought very carefully.

  The original owner is not the same, Erica has thought about things, the original owner has also thought about it... They are all equally homesick.

   "I have no other choice, I can only go to the dark forest to fight!" Erica said again, her calm tone revealed firmness, as if to cheer herself up, and then added:

   "Anyway, I won't sell my body to stay in the school like Annie did."

   Mentioned this, she couldn't help shivering.

   Colin also felt discomfort reflexively, and Annie's hands and feet that had been replaced with several gray-black smooth tentacles appeared in his mind.

   For wizards, selling the body is really selling the body, not just that.

   Even if the senior apprentices you meet are a little better, they are always just playthings, and the gains outweigh the losses.

  The two walked in silence for a while, and soon, they reached the residential area.

The residential area of ​​   junior apprentices is divided separately. On the westernmost side of the entire school’s periphery, is a square area with hundreds of single-family stone houses distributed at intervals.

  The stone house of the two is on the far left of the whole area, and Colin's stone house is closer.

   Walking to the door of the stone house where Colin lived, the two stopped.

   After a moment of silence, Erica said:

   “Colin…”

boom!

  A sudden violent explosion accompanied by a strange scream came from a distance, interrupting Erica's words.

  Erika and Colin covered their ears reflexively and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

   Stepping over a circle of wooden fences surrounding Rapp's wizard's collar, a strange green light lit up like mist at the periphery of the wizard's gathering place at the foot of the mountain.

   In the next second, an invisible transparent aura came from the top of the Black Rock Castle in the center of the wizard's collar, just covering the entire wizard's collar.

  Colin hurriedly took a few deep breaths before he recovered. The screams in the distance were too weird. He felt dizzy and nauseated just hearing it.

   Fortunately, with the opening of the transparent shield, although the screaming still exists, it has lost the strange nausea.

   "I don't know what the **** this time..." Erica murmured while looking at the green light.

   Colin was silent, the green flames in the distance were reflected in the bottom of his blue eyes, and his heart was inexplicably cool.

   Although he knew that he was in the safest Rapp wizard's collar on the entire island, and that the green light would also be handled by the wizards of the guard team, he still felt a little chilly.

  …that was probably the shock of a soul from a peaceful world witnessing the passing of life.

   "I don't know how many people will die..." He whispered.

  Erica smiled, no longer paying attention to the green flames in the distance, turned her head to look at Colin and said, "...You didn't think that way before."

   "Is that so?" Colin froze in his heart, returned his expressionless face, and responded calmly.

   "You can only laugh at 'Death, just because of weakness; weakness, is to make mistakes!' and so on." Erica teased, but then her expression became low again.

   "...you're right...to be weak is to make mistakes."

   Colin sighed secretly in his heart, and the embarrassment of being mentioned by the original owner Zhong Er disappeared in an instant.

   For a while, he didn't know how to proceed, so he could only remain silent.

  Power is the rule of this world... Chuuji, who would have been laughed at in his previous life, spoke up, but here it became the truth.

"Don't talk about this, I plan to go to the dark forest tomorrow morning." Erica smiled, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "No matter what secrets you have, but if there is a day, please remember my request... Greet me my parents."

   There seemed to be a buildup of mist in the depths of her amber green eyes looking at Colin.

   Colin's lips moved slightly, but in the end he just watched in silence as Erica walked into the stone house next door.

   'How can the original owner have any secrets that can help him advance...' He shook his head and opened the wooden door behind him.

   At the beginning, he wanted to explain to Erica, but after hesitating for a long time, he didn't say a word in the end.

   He understood that even if he said Erica, he wouldn't believe it.

   And believe it, Erica will suffer even more.

   He could see that Erica went to the Dark Forest with the determination to die.

   Even he felt that Erica actually knew that the original owner did not have any secrets that could help advance.

   She just needs to put a hope in him...

  Colin walked into the house and locked the wooden door. When he turned around, under the moonlight, he saw a huge broken pattern on the floor smeared with unknown blood.

   Seeing this pattern, he sighed again.

   "How can the original owner have any secrets that can help advance...

   was nothing more than a ritual that cost him his life. "
