Weird Wizarding World

Uh-huh!

The blue-green light ball appeared again, and another strange auxiliary medicine emerged——

Moon leaves.

It is a crescent-shaped white leaf that can enhance vitality and slightly lift the spirit.

This plant is now on its third.

But the apprentices did not rush forward. Instead, they stood silently.

At a glance, there were no light balls on some short black iron pillars.

Click.

Immediately afterwards, those short black iron pillars with nothing on the top quietly disappeared, about one-third of the total number.

There were originally more than a hundred black pillars in the hall, but now they have suddenly been reduced by one-third, leaving only about seventy or eighty.

The number of apprentices gathered here is about one hundred.

When there were more than a hundred black pillars in the hall before, more than a hundred potions appeared, and each of them could get one, and there were even some left.

But now, there are only about 80 short black iron pillars left, which means that the magic potion and Yuena leaves presented have also been reduced to only about 80 pieces.

More than eighty pieces are obviously not enough for the more than one hundred apprentices in the hall.

Colin was mixed in with the crowd. He raised his head slightly and glanced around.

In mid-air, the figure of the Lapp wizard quietly disappeared, and it was unknown where he went.

He withdrew his gaze and turned his head to silently observe the apprentices around him.

Most of them had doubts on their faces, and there were faint sounds of doubt.

"How come the quantity of potions has decreased..."

"...Where did Mr. Rapp go?"

"How should we allocate it..."

Most people tried hard to restrain their desires and hoped that the Lapp wizard would come forward to explain.

But the figure of Wizard Lapp never appeared.

Gulu.

Finally, a junior apprentice couldn't hold back the hunger and thirst brought by the strange fragrance and broke the situation.

Uh-huh!

He quickly stepped forward and swallowed the potion.

After swallowing, the potion gradually takes effect.

The junior apprentice's face was filled with joy, his energy and blood became fuller, and his spirit became fuller.

Seeing this, no one is willing to wait any longer, especially those who have tasted the sweetness of the magic potion before.

They can't sit back and watch these moon leaves being divided up by others!

Colin also stepped forward quickly, and with superhuman speed, grabbed a moon leaf.

After getting the Yuena leaves, he did not swallow them. He covered them with his hands and pretended to swallow them. In fact, he quietly collected them in his arms.

Previously, when the first plant, the Yeer flower, was presented, the Lapp wizard watched in mid-air.

Basically everyone swallowed Yeerhua in front of the Lapp wizard.

After the second auxiliary medicine was presented, the Lapp wizard left.

A long-haired wizard's apprentice.

Perhaps he saw the Lapp wizard disappear.

So he did not hide the fact that he had not swallowed the night flowers like Colin, and secretly spit out the night flowers.

Instead, he spat out the blood-colored liquid transformed from Yeer flowers without any concealment.

This also made Colin notice him.

It also made him understand that apparently some apprentices only swallowed Yeerhua and did not swallow it in their stomachs.

soon.

The fight for Tsukina's leaves ends.

Those apprentices who did not grab the potion looked regretful.

But his strength and luck are not as good as others, so he doesn’t say anything.

Colin turned his head slightly and looked around.

At this time, the long-haired male wizard who had vomited night flowers like him was not far to his right, holding the second and third potions in his hand openly.

Colin's eyes flickered.

There are not many apprentices like the long-haired wizard, but there are quite a few, and most of them are senior wizard apprentices.

He held the last two potions in his hands... As for whether the first Yeerhua was swallowed, Colin didn't know.

He only clearly saw the long-haired male wizard vomiting out night flowers.

Other intermediate or junior apprentices basically couldn't resist the temptation of the strange fragrance and had already swallowed the auxiliary medicine.

Just when Colin retracted his gaze and was about to turn his head.

Click! !

Several bolts of lightning appeared out of thin air!

In the peripheral vision, the long-haired male wizard instantly turned into charcoal. As a senior wizard apprentice, he didn't even have time to scream.

Such power has exceeded the scope of apprenticeship!

There were two or three apprentices who met the same fate as him.

Colin's pupils shrank before he could react.

Immediately afterwards, another change occurred.

An invisible force swept through the ceremony.

puff! !

"Ho-ho-!"

"ah--!"

Among the crowd, some wizard apprentices suddenly had large amounts of blood mist appear on their bodies, fell down wailing, and soon lost their voices.

In this way, in just an instant, more than forty corpses were lying on the gray-white floor of the hall.

The remaining sixty or so apprentices also stopped in horror due to the abnormality and looked at each other.

The whole hall fell silent.

"……How is this going?"

It took a long time before an apprentice murmured.

As his words fell, noisy voices sounded like a surge.

"Where's Mr. Rapp?!"

"Teacher Rapp must know the reason for this!"

"..."

Needham on the right side of the hall looked gloomy. He turned to Berkeley not far away and asked:

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

The lightning just now struck suddenly and was astonishingly powerful.

Even though he was a peak apprentice, there was no guarantee that he would be able to successfully survive lightning.

And the blood mist was even more strange and inexplicable.

"I don't know." Berkeley shook his head, paused and said, "Maybe there was an emergency."

"Ah!"

Fina on the side sneered. She couldn't see Berkeley's trust in Rapp.

So he sneered in a low voice: "Berkeley, don't be naive, do you really think Rapp is your father?

...He is just a robber who took you away from your real biological parents! "

When Berkeley heard this, he was not angry, but just shook his head slightly:

"I'm different from you, Fina. I remember clearly that my parents took the initiative to sell me to Teacher Rapp for a gold coin."

He paused and then said:

"...If it weren't for Teacher Rapp, I might have become an abandoned child dying on the roadside."

Fina retorted with a cold face: "It's just that you are self-righteous."

She glanced around and then said:

"The lightning kills all apprentices who have never taken magic potion even once.

Those who died suddenly were all apprentices who had only taken the potion once or twice and had not taken the moon leaf for the third time. "

"Obviously, this is a ritual with an elimination mechanism."

"Your dear Rapp 'father' never cared about our lives, nor yours at all!"

She made no secret of her reasoning, and although her voice was not loud, it was enough for the remaining apprentices present to hear clearly.

Many apprentices' faces changed color when they heard this.

Colin remained calm on his face, secretly hiding the potions he had collected earlier.

His eyes scanned the surroundings slightly, and he relaxed slightly after making sure no one noticed him.

But there were many doubts in my heart.

‘… Regardless of whether Fina’s inference is correct, the current situation she observed is indeed correct.

Those apprentices who died, indeed, as he said, did not take the potion completely in order. ’

‘...But I clearly didn’t take the magic potion, so why wasn’t it wiped away by lightning? ’

Colin's brows knitted together.

But before he could think about it deeply.

Teng!

As the blue-green ball of light flashed past, a new potion was presented again.

But this time... the number is even smaller. A rough estimate is that there are only about thirty copies left.

The blank black iron pillar slowly sank, just like the hearts of the remaining apprentices in the hall suddenly sank.

Uh-huh! !

This time, they no longer looked humble.

There was no starter, but all the apprentices moved in unison the moment the blue-green light ball dispersed!

Whoosh! !

The twenty or so senior wizard apprentices had a tacit understanding and did not compete with each other. Instead, they spread out and took the lead in occupying two-thirds of the potions.

The remaining intermediate apprentices were lucky enough to be closer to the black pillar and there were no senior apprentices around to compete with them, so they were lucky enough to grab a potion and swallow it wholeheartedly.

As for junior apprentices…

"Ah!" A twelve or thirteen-year-old junior wizard apprentice who was lucky enough to grab the potion howled in pain and flew to the side heavily.

He was severely knocked away by a thin and pale intermediate wizard beside him.

The potion fell from his hand and was thrown into the air, where it was scrambled by several intermediate wizards who had been waiting for a long time!

All of a sudden, the sounds of witchcraft, curses, and painful wails...were heard endlessly!

the other side,

Colin, who had just grabbed a new potion, suddenly changed his expression and moved slightly to the left.

He dodged a fierce acid attack aimed at his head.

He held a cone bullet and turned back sharply.

What came into view was the female apprentice Carrie who had forced him to help and go to Regina to reconcile the relationship.

At this moment, Carrie was looking at him in surprise as he dodged the attack.

laugh!

Colin's eyes turned cold, and the cone bullet flew out without hesitation and shot towards Carrie!

boom!

"ah!"

Caught off guard, a large hole was shot out of Carrie's abdomen, and the severe pain made her scream in agony.

This painful howl also caused the few apprentices who were watching around to stop, and they quickly turned around and attacked other people!

Colin raised his head and no longer cared about the dying Carrie. After scanning the surrounding area coldly, he pretended to take the magic potion under the cover of his palm.

Secretly, he kept it in his arms like the magic potion before.

Soon, the situation gradually came to a standstill.

Looking around, there were only forty-three wizards still standing, including himself.

Among them are three peak wizard apprentices, eighteen senior wizard apprentices, and twenty-two intermediate wizard apprentices.

Among the intermediate apprentices, seven of them looked gray at this time. They did not grab the magic potion.

All the other junior wizard apprentices were either dead or seriously injured and unable to move, quietly waiting on the ground for death to come.

The apprentices are no longer as close together as before, but stand at a distance from each other around the black pillar.

When the fight is over and the new potion has not yet been presented.

The hall was enveloped in an eerie silence.

The tip of his nose was filled with the smell of blood, and apart from the gasps of the apprentices, only the moans and whispered curses of the seriously injured were left in his ears.

There are thirty-six short black iron pillars in front of him.

But each of them knew in their hearts that in the near future, there would not be thirty-six blue-green balls of light, let alone thirty-six magic potions.

The short black iron columns will continue to settle.

And only a small percentage of them will survive...

Or, only one person will survive.

Colin was as calm as the other apprentices, but he was thinking rapidly in his mind.

He didn't understand why he slipped through the ceremony...

But he knew that as the number of people decreased, he, who was only an intermediate wizard apprentice on the surface, would become more and more conspicuous.

This cannot go on any longer.

boom!

Suddenly, the sound of flesh colliding with the stone wall came.

Colin followed the sound.

In front of the gray-white stone wall they entered, an intermediate wizard apprentice was covering his head with a gloomy expression.

Colin quickly reacted.

The hall here is generally circular, flat and open, and you can see the whole thing by looking up.

The hall is surrounded by gray and white stone walls, with no possible exit.

The intermediate wizard apprentice covering his head obviously wanted to return along the original route.

But it failed.

This means they may have no other way out.

Although Colin had been vaguely aware of this for a long time, now that it was truly confirmed, a haze still enveloped his heart.

The apprentice was unwilling and tried frantically around the walls of the hall.

But right now!

Teng!

A blue-green light group flashed past the black iron pillar.

The next potion was presented without any warning, this time there were only twelve.

"No!" When the apprentice who was looking for an exit saw this, he yelled and rushed towards the black pillar in the middle.

But soon, he stopped in despair.

Those potions have been swallowed.

at the same time.

puff!

Blood mist sprayed out from the body of the intermediate wizard apprentice who had not grabbed the potion in the previous round.

They fell down in miserable howls, and finally lost their voices just like the apprentices before them.

Some senior apprentices also changed their expressions. They failed to grab this round of potions.

Grabbing the potion and swallowing it is a matter of seconds.

If they are unlucky and slow down, even if they are stronger than the intermediate apprentices, it will not help.

Needham is among them.

With a gloomy look on his face, he looked around and decisively attacked the lucky intermediate wizard apprentice nearest him.

Uh-huh! !

Before the joy on the face of the intermediate wizard apprentice who was lucky enough to swallow the potion faded away, his eyes suddenly dimmed and lost all life.

Needham held the body of the intermediate wizard apprentice, controlled the magic power, stretched out his right index finger with ease, and traced the middle line of the body.

The index finger is like the sharpest scalpel. Starting from the lower lip of the intermediate wizard apprentice, the fair skin is like a hot knife cutting through butter and splitting.

Exposing the inside of the larynx, the inside of the esophagus, and the inside of the stomach that are hidden underneath.

Then, Needham slowly leaned down, stretched out his long bright red tongue, and licked every bit of the undigested potion inside!

In the hall, there were only about twenty wizard apprentices left at this moment, all standing sparsely scattered.

Some intermediate apprentices were upset just now because they didn't get the magic potion.

But at this moment, looking at Needham's actions, I couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

But soon, I thought that the ceremony would continue, the blue-green light would still flash, and the black iron pillars would continue to sink.

The joy in their hearts was like a candle in the wind, fleeting.

On the left side of the hall,

Colin looked at Needham with a calm expression, but felt a little nauseous in his heart.

Suddenly, there were slight footsteps approaching him.

"Colin."

Then, a familiar voice came.

He followed the sound.
