After Being Fancied by a Necromancer - Chapter 21

    Cyril, who had a good night’s sleep the next day, headed to the restaurant for brunch.

    The luxurious restaurant changed to a cheerful tune, this time with a violin accompaniment.

    He was enjoying the fragrant and soft egg tarts, and the Weber brothers came over.

    “Hi Cyril! Good morning! Mind if we sit and eat with you?”

    Jenny had a smile on her face. Although she looked tired, her eyes were bright.

    “Good morning, both of you! Of course you don’t mind, please!”

    Cyril raised his eyebrows and greeted them politely.

    He noticed the blue and black eyes of the two of them, and knew that they were going to explore the Rose Manor last night.

    “We fought until the sunrise! But there is still a lot of places to go! The Rose Garden is too big!”

    Jenny noticed Cyril’s look and shrugged helplessly.

    “Look, we found this last night!”

    She glanced around that no one was paying attention to them, then lowered her voice and showed Cyril very candidly what they found last night – a small and delicate brass compass.

    “Perhaps you know how to use it?”

    Jenny looked at Cyril with interest.

    She had an intuition that this beautiful boy was stronger than most of the people present.

    Cyril took the brass compass and looked at the information displayed by the system:

    [Name: Danger Compass

    Use: This compass has an exquisite magic circle, which is a good hand to help you make choices when you encounter a fork in the road.

    How to use: The direction indicated by the pointer is the direction of danger, and the speed of the pointer rotation reflects the size of the danger.

    Note: There is a certain chance that something will go wrong! Avoid danger while avoiding high yield! 】

    “Perhaps, you can judge which direction is dangerous based on the direction of the pointer. If the pointer is turning desperately, be careful. Of course, this is not absolute, you can test it at night.”

    Cyril considered his words.

    Jenny and Loz looked at each other, both very happy.

    They reciprocated and told Cyril what he had heard.

    “Four days later, all the wizards and freshmen of Rose Manor will take a cruise to Whalefall Island. I heard that it is a mysterious island that transits between the wizard continent and other continents. There is no special guidance to find it in the sea. to the existence of this island.”

    Jenny whispered.

    Cyril nodded, which was also mentioned by Johnson who came to pick them up at Wangdu Railway Station.

    “After that, all freshmen will need to participate in a grading trial, which will divide everyone into wizard apprentices of different levels, which involves the treatment after entering the wizarding academy! And the various magics contained in Rose Manor Objects can help new students achieve better results in the grading test.”

    Jenny said it all in one go.

    So it is, it is no wonder that Arles’ gang is committed to looting what other freshmen find.

    And the invitation letter sent by the snowy owl when she arrived yesterday also implied that the freshmen were in a competitive relationship with each other.

    Cyril pondered in his heart, this grading trial will definitely have an important impact on their future wizard path.

    “Do you know what the other freshmen found?”

    Cyril asked.

    According to the Webbs, they only found this magic item last night.

    “Most people find magic objects and hide them without publicity. I’ve only heard of people finding a wand and a tube of magic potion that they don’t know what it is. .And another girl found an ill-fitting wizard robe.”

    Loz, who had been silent, said, the boy’s voice was calm and steady.

    “When we went back, we also met the blond boy we met at the stairway yesterday. According to him, based on previous experience, most people and teams can only find at most one magic item per night. “

    Cyril froze slightly when he heard this.

    But the look on his face was fleeting, and neither Jenny nor Loz noticed.

    He thought of relying on the system to find three magic items in one night, and because he was too tired, he went back to his room to rest early before dawn, and he couldn’t help feeling a little guilty.

    Then Weber siblings warmly invited Cyril to explore with them at night, but Cyril shook his head and refused.

    He has the golden finger of the system, it is difficult to explain if he is with others.

    Jenny and Loz also nodded understandingly, after all, everyone has their own little secrets.

    “By the way, when you came back, did you meet a few people blocking the stairs on the first floor to rob?”

    Cyril remembered what happened to Arles last night and looked at the two.

    Jenny nodded, but her face was a little weird.

    “The one named Ales was cleaned up last night, and then happened to meet a team that was going to black out. The two sides had a fight last night, and both sides were injured. I and When Loz came back in the morning, he saw them lying on the ground after being injured.”

    Cyril complimented, pretending to know nothing, “Praise Merlin! This is the best!”

    After eating, he went back to his room to rest.

    When the sky darkened again, it started to rain outside.

    Cyril found a black umbrella in the closet in the room.

    He held up his umbrella and stepped on the wet ground.

    The dense rain threads are weaving diagonally in the air.

    The hazy water mist around her looks like an unreal and absurd dream.

    The cool evening breeze mixed with the damp touch hit my cheeks.

    The cold wind deftly avoided the cover of the umbrella, and got into Cyril’s sleeve, causing him to shiver.

    Cyril held a black umbrella in one hand and a kerosene lamp in the other, struggling to move forward in the dark rainy night.

    The dark, windy and rainy night looks like the beginning of some horror fairy tale.

    He muttered silently in his heart.

    This time, Cyril didn’t seem to have good luck. After walking for a long time, he was guided to a stream by the system.

    He looked at the black stream and was silent for a moment.

    Life is not easy, Cyril sighs.

    He probably understood that the owner of Rose Manor really likes tossing people.

    【Don’t worry! The water is not deep, no one can drown! 】

    The system said carelessly.

    Cyril propped the black umbrella on the ground, put the kerosene lamp under the black umbrella, then took off his shoes and socks, took a deep breath, and stepped into the cold stream.

    The dank stream reached Cyril’s thighs, and he bent down and groped under the water.

    Some soft slender strips, starting with a slippery touch, this is the water plant on the bottom; there are also rounded stones polished by the stream to have no edges and corners.

    Cyril finally found something that felt strange to the touch and seemed to have dents.

    He picked it up with both hands, a little heavy.

    When he carried this thing back to the shore and lit it with a kerosene lamp, he realized that it was a large scallop.

    This scallop is very large, the size of a wooden barrel.

    It has a wavy pattern on its shell, which looks like a huge eye as a whole, very strange and mysterious.

    The system also gave information in time:

    [Name: Eye of the Storm Scallop (Extremely Rare)

    Use: Increases chances of surviving in Dead Seas; other unknown

    How to use: There are three steps to eating eye of the storm scallops: open the scallops, eat the contents, and digest! To the point: only the powerful can open it!

    Note: You can tell it is an old scallop by looking at it! The scallops that thrive in the Dead Sea have mystical powers, and you can gain some kind of gift by eating the core of the scallop. For example, one day you will fall into the sea with your opponent, and you will die without killing yourself. Of course, first you need to find a way to open this invincible hard scallop! 】

    “Only someone with great magic can open it…”

    Cyril blinked.

    Not very harmful, but highly insulting.

    He tried to attack the scallop with the magic he already mastered.

    However, it is still very strong and motionless.

    Magic attacks just tickle it.

    Cyril had no choice but to take away this heavy scallop temporarily, and plan to think about it later.

    The rainy weather makes it difficult to travel, and Cyril is still holding a large scallop, making it even more inconvenient to move.

    He held the umbrella with difficulty, and the kerosene lamp hung on the end of the curved handle of the black umbrella shook, and the light went on and off.

    Just as he was struggling to find a place to hide this scallop, and when he would come to pick it up in the daytime tomorrow, he suddenly heard the sound of a fierce fight coming from the front.

     Before Cyril had time to turn around, two groups of people who were fighting had already hit him.

    “Sorry, I was just passing by, you guys continue…”

    He made a dazed and innocent expression, his big almond eyes drooping down, and there was a taste of innocence.

    At the same time, he stepped back without a trace.

    The person who came here stopped fighting, his eyes moved from Cyril’s small white face to the huge scallop in his arms, his eyes flashed, and his face was drooling.

    Cyril quickly threw down his umbrella and kerosene lamp, and ran forward with his scallops in his arms.

    However, he accidentally tripped over something under his feet, unable to control his balance, and fell straight forward.

    It’s done!

    In an instant, Cyril cast two fireballs at an unprecedented speed and smashed him behind him.

    At this moment, the silver pattern of the little snake Green in his pocket glowed with moon-white light.

     Its blood-like eyes suddenly lit up, and Cyril disappeared in place along with the huge scallop in his arms.
