Chapter 187 Valley Town
Bobo Bonas?
Why does it feel like the name was made up on the spot? Li He couldn't help but said in his heart.
Could it be that the other party is more cautious and doesn't want to reveal his real name? After all, if you reveal your true name, you risk being cursed by your name. Therefore, after he entered Dark Heart Academy, he always called himself Li He Nubarton instead of his real name at Blood Castle - Li He Gallie Gray. .
Or maybe the other party really can’t remember what his name is?
With strange emotions, Li He waved goodbye to the Bobo Bonas wizard and set out on the road to capture parasites. He couldn't help but comment in his heart: An interesting wizard.
Watching Li Hyuk go away, Bobo Bonas also commented: "An interesting young kid."
Turning his head, he looked at his student Geller and asked, "What do you think?"
"I don't think Bobo Bonas is a normal name. Teacher, is this really your name?" Geller asked frankly.
"Who asked you this?" Bobo Bonas frowned and said with dissatisfaction, "Why isn't Bobo Bonas a normal name? I told you, this is... forget it."
At the end of the sentence, Bobo Bonas showed a toothache expression, waved his hand and grabbed the cloth bag containing the ruby, walked towards the depths of the wooden building, and said to the students: "Why should I explain this to you? Anyway, I will do it now." Call this name. I'm going to do the experiment quickly. You have no plans at the moment. If you have time, you can go to the night market or somewhere. If you find the ruby, you will get it at all costs. Do you understand?
"clear--"
"That's good, let's go."
…
On the other side, Li Hyuk acted very decisively.
From the mission hall, I found the Badda wizard that Bobo Bonas mentioned, quickly completed all the procedures for leaving the academy, received a free enhanced horse, and left the academy.
The horses received were obviously modified by their bloodline, reaching a height of two meters, with red eyes and fangs resembling wild beasts in their mouths.
Riding on his horse and following the map instructions provided by Bobo Bonas, Li He traveled all the way deep inland.
On the third day, we saw a huge lake in the distance ahead.
The lake is so large that the edges are almost invisible. The lake water is dark purple, indicating an exaggerated water depth. There is still a thin gray mist on the water, as if there are countless ghosts wandering around.
This is Ghost Lake, and there is a special mark on the map given by Popobonas.
At the same time, there are also marks on Li Hyuk's own private map.
Because according to the information obtained after cracking the pathfinding crystal, there should be a treasure of the Blood Countess nearby.
But now is not the time to explore...after all, there is too much uncertainty.
His primary purpose at the moment is to conduct research and find a way to be promoted to wizard as soon as possible. This way, both his identity and strength are guaranteed to a certain extent, and it will be much easier to do other things.
Li He thought deeply, took a deep look at Ghost Lake, and controlled the reinforced horse under him to bypass the lake and continue walking towards the depths of the continent.
After another two days of driving, on the afternoon of the fifth day after departure, we arrived at the so-called Lost Soul Valley as indicated on the map.
But the first thing that appeared in front of us was not the steep and dangerous mountains and valleys, but a small town that looked quite prosperous.
Not far from the mouth of the valley, a small town sprang up. Many people were coming and going on the street. Most of the shops on both sides of the street were open, displaying various goods for sale.
There is also a bartender in the tavern, standing outside the door trying to attract customers.
Everything looks like a very ordinary small town.
But entering it, Li He discovered that it was different from ordinary small towns.
There were quite a few wizard apprentices, and within a few minutes, more than a dozen wizard apprentices were seen.
Moreover, they are not all from the Dark Heart Academy, but also from other wizarding organizations. Judging from the decorations on the robes, there are the White Fang Tower of the White Wizarding Organization, the Shadow Academy and the Bone Monastery of the Dark Wizarding Organization.
When wizard apprentices from different wizard organizations met on the street, their expressions were a little unkind, but they didn't take action. They just exchanged ferocious looks and hurriedly separated, entering different taverns to check in. However, they disturbed the passers-by on the road. Got to be nervous.
After the wizard apprentice left, the pedestrians on the road returned to normal. They patted their hearts, exhaled, and continued to do their own things. They seemed a little used to it.
Li He witnessed this scene and suddenly made a guess: the current town may have been built specifically to serve the so-called Lost Soul Valley.
The Ecstasy Valley recommended by Bobo Bonas has a large number of parasites, which is a valuable resource for any wizard organization.
Such a resource point is definitely not ownerless, but belongs to a certain wizard organization. It is considered that it is still within the strength of Dark Heart Academy, and it is likely to belong to Dark Heart Academy, so Bobo Bonas recommended him.
There will definitely be wizard apprentices here to catch parasites. For safety reasons, a logistics point must be established to rest and provide supplies.
Slowly, the logistics point developed into a small town.
Most of the people in the town should serve the wizard apprentices who come here.
There is just one problem. Logically speaking, since it is within the sphere of influence of the Dark Heart Academy, wizard apprentices from other wizard organizations should not be allowed to enter. After all, the Dark Heart Academy is not a charity organization. Parasites, which are not precious but very necessary resources, cannot be shared with potential enemies for free.
Then how to explain everything in front of him?
Just as Li He was thinking, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Master Li He? Master Li He?"
"Hmm?" Li He looked at the voice and saw a middle-aged fat man with a flattering smile appear in his sight.
"You are Master Li He Nubaton, right?" The other party asked very respectfully, with a pair of mung bean-sized eyes blinking quickly.
"I am Li He Nubaton, who are you?"
"I am Dutu Balk, you can just call me Dutu, I am the receptionist of our Dark Heart Academy. Several days ago, I received a message from the academy and waited for you to come every day at the entrance of this town. Today you are finally here." The other party looked long-awaited and said sincerely.
"If I remember correctly, this should be your first time here, right?" the other party asked.
"Yes." Li He nodded.
"Sure enough, I have served the academy here for twelve years, and I remember the name and appearance of every wizard apprentice who came, but this is the first time I have heard of you. In this case, I will briefly introduce the situation here to you. Let's go to the tavern first and talk while walking. As for your coming here to catch parasites, don't rush, because the Soul Forest is now closed and cannot be entered. You have to wait until tomorrow." At the end, Du Tu looked at Li He with an inquiring look, "What do you think?"
"Okay." Li He nodded and followed Du Tu to the depths of the town, listening to the other party's story while walking.
It was indeed similar to what he had guessed before. The town here was indeed built for the resource point of Soul Valley.
Thirty-seven years ago, not long after the Soul Valley was discovered, the Dark Heart Academy built a town, and then the scale continued to expand until it became what it is now.
Hearing this, Li He asked a puzzled question, looking at Du Tu and asked: "Since it is a resource point discovered within the sphere of influence of the Dark Heart Academy, and since it is a town built by the Dark Heart Academy, why are apprentices from other wizard organizations allowed to come?"
"This..." Du Tu was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then smiled bitterly, "When I first came here, it was not like this. Only apprentices from our Dark Heart Academy could come. But something happened ten years ago, and it became like this now."
"Huh?"
