In order to leave this place as soon as possible, he could not help but break the silence.

When Bard heard this, he slightly turned his gaze on him, and then he lifted the old round eye frame in front of his eyes. Ignoring the nick in the left lens, he earnestly and truly made an effort to look at Caruso.

After a long while, he slowly turned around and continued to fiddle with the bottles in front of him.

Then, in the midst of his anticipation, his voice gradually sounded, “Seeing that you have dark magic elements in your body, I don’t think you’re that group of people. You and I are the same kind, so I won’t kill you. Get lost once you’ve recovered.”

“What the f*ck?”

Under Bard’s taunt, Caruso was stunned.

A Necromancer’s Will told him that he was too weak and couldn’t accept the mission for the time being, so he endured it.

Now, a spirit who called himself Bard looked down on him, and he simply couldn’t endure it anymore.

Of course, he didn’t know what level this Bard was at.

If he knew, he might have left right away.

When Bard was killed, it was thirty years ago.

He was a ten-star grand archmagus with half a foot in the saint archmagus’s realm.

In particular, the magic element he cultivated was dark magic.

If a normal saint archmagus fought him one-on-one, Bard would be able to teach him what fear was in less than ten minutes.

The ignorant and fearless Caruso did not think so much, he immediately stood up and said, “Mr. Bard, I know you don’t think much of my current strength but there is a saying that goes, don’t bully a poor youth because you don’t know what will happen to him in the future. Therefore, you have to apologize to me or I will never leave this place!”

After saying that, Caruso immediately looked straight at him without any fear.

“I’m sorry, you’re a great mage.” However, in the face of Caruso’s words, Bard only glanced at him and then said perfunctorily.

This sudden strange style completely stunned Caruso.

According to logic, shouldn’t the script be for the other party to get angry and attack, only to discover his super talent during the fight?

After discovering his super talent, the other party would kneel down and beg him to be his disciple?

What now?

WTF?

Caruso didn’t understand. He really didn’t understand this person called Bard.

At least from his stance, this Bard was a decent person when he was alive.

Why did he apologize immediately after he said something?

Caruso was speechless about this but, no matter how speechless he was, there was nothing he could do.

“Forget it. Forget it. Let’s just absorb a wave of dark elemental particles here and leave!” The haggard Caruso shrugged his shoulders in the face of such an awkward situation. Then, he casually kicked some of the bones under his feet to the side. Soon after, he cleared a spot and immediately sat down cross-legged to meditate.

He found that the dark magic death particles around him were extremely dense, at least ten times more than the ones he saw when he first came in.

After experiencing the upgrade of the fireball spell, he naturally knew the importance of skill experience points.

Moreover, these were special elemental particles. When he learned dark magic in the future, he would also be prepared. Unlike the fireball spell, he would not only have a few skill experience points.

For this, he quickly sat down cross-legged and instantly entered a meditative state.

But after entering a meditative state this time, Caruso did not know that this was his first time in this world where he was in danger.

“A mere apprentice mage dares to condense dark elemental particles here. Young people nowadays.”

Bard saw that Caruso sat down cross-legged and quickly entered a meditative state. He could not help but shake his head and mutter.

Dark Forest.

Perhaps to the people outside.

This place became like this because of Bard.

And also because of Bard, this place was very famous.

But as a half-step dark magus, Bard could not simply find a place to settle down.

Thirty years ago, Bard once dealt with the powerhouses of the Temple of Light in countless places.

During that time, he had crossed countless territories. Which place was not easy to stay in? Did he have to stay here?

There was a reason for all of this.

While Bard was fleeing and killing the light envoys of the Temple of Light, he suddenly discovered the Dark Forest.

After coming to the Dark Forest, he felt that there was a powerful force attracting him here.

For this, he deliberately caused a world-shaking battle with the other party.

Then, using the forbidden spell, he faked his death and hid in this place.

Did he release some small things to let others think that he was completely dead? And the reason why there was a large amount of magic here was because of the curse he left behind.

But anyone with a strong cultivation state knew.

A real curse to the experts of the Temple of Light was simply a weak thing that could be dispersed with a single breath.

The other party would casually take out a holy artifact of light to shine on it, and the curse broke without being attacked.

This was a shocking scam.

A scam that Bard had meticulously planned.

The reason why he had stayed here for thirty years was to explore the true mystery of this place.

After faking his death, he spent five years before finally finding the secret of this place.

And this ultimate secret was that this place was actually related to the God of Darkness.

This was undoubtedly a piece of shocking news to Bard, who cultivated dark magic.

Who was the God of Darkness?

The most powerful god among the ancient gods.

But here, there was actually a trace left behind by the other party.

Why did Bard not continue to hide here and cultivate?

Anyway, he had already avenged some of his grudges, and he had enjoyed all the things that he should have enjoyed over the years.

Women, territory, wealth, reputation—which one hadn’t he had?

Even a magical beast that was a ninth-level half-saint acknowledged him as its master. What could be more exaggerated than this?

However, everything went against his expectations.

After discovering that this place seemed to be related to the God of Darkness, he had not discovered the secret of this place for a full 25 years.

All he knew was that there were too many dark elemental particles here.

He had absorbed many particles for a full 30 years, but he had only absorbed one-tenth of the total capacity.

There were one or two reasons why he had absorbed so little.

First, there were too many dark magic elemental particles here, as if they were endless. Every time he absorbed them, many more would appear out of thin air.

Second, every time he absorbed them for less than an hour, he would leave immediately.

The reason was very simple. Once he absorbed for more than an hour, his spiritual world would not be able to withstand the elemental particles inside. Even though he had experienced countless things, he would still feel an indescribable fear and emptiness.

Under the two reasons, Bard would naturally say these words when he saw Caruso sitting cross-legged and meditating.

…

Thirty minutes passed and Caruso, who was meditating, suddenly stood up.

After he stood up, his eyes were lifeless, as if he was a walking corpse. He looked left and right.

Seeing Caruso like this, Bard put down what he was doing and looked at the little boy with interest.
