Avril didn't ask any further questions: "I'll send someone to search."
"The counterattack is about to begin. All the available people are busy with training. Don't waste their time. I'll go by myself."
"Do you want me to accompany you?"
"available?"
"Things are on track now. I don't have to keep an eye on them all day."
"Then together."
Thinking back carefully, after the two reunited, they had very little time to be alone together, not to mention spending time together and going on vacation.
If we don't seize this opportunity, we don't know when we will be able to launch a counterattack.
Avril was in high spirits. She hurried back to her bedroom, changed into a casual dress, disguised her hair and eye color, and left the capital side by side with Zhang Mu.
They gave up flying and drove the city's horse-drawn carriage, moving further and further away along the compacted dirt road.
Zhang Mu was driving and Avril was sitting on a bench in the car.
"Junior, there are more mountains in the northern part of Lake, let's go there."
"The North?" Zhang Mu suddenly remembered that Hogwarts was short of some soul-type beasts, and immediately responded, "Okay, let's go there."
Although he was going on this trip with the intention of having fun, Zhang Mu didn't have much free time and couldn't waste too much time on the road, so he replaced the horse pulling the carriage with a fast-moving monster halfway through the journey.
The physical strength of the Warcraft is much stronger than that of ordinary horses, and it only took half a month to reach the extremely cold northern border.
The temperature here is extremely low, monsters and demons are rampant, and there are also spiritual monsters causing trouble, so basically no one settles down here.
The carriage drove on frozen soil, and the closer it got to the mountains, the narrower and rougher the road became. When it reached the outskirts of the mountains, the road completely disappeared.
Zhang Mu pulled the reins to stop the monster: "Senior sister, there is no way ahead."
After half a month of traveling together, Avril was already satisfied. She got off the car with Zhang Mu and flew to the mountains.
It is not difficult to find a mountain that meets your needs. Fly high up and look down at the earth, identify a few satisfactory pillars and peaks, and then get close to select them.
After spending a long time choosing, Zhang Mu estimated the height he needed, and then he and Avril worked together to stretch their bodies and cut off the top of the column.
The huge mountain tilted and fell towards the ground, and Zhang Mu immediately stepped forward to put it into the inventory.
"Hmm?" Avril, who was flying from a distance, asked curiously, "Have you been promoted to Saint level?"
"It's early."
"Still a magician?"
"Yes."
"Oh." Avril seemed to be thinking about something but didn't say much.
Later, the two of them split up to capture spiritual monsters in the mountains. The requirements are quite strict - humanoid, docile, and not too strong.
When a spiritual monster is born, it is a ball of mist. It will find a favorite appearance and transform into it, which cannot be changed afterwards.
The North is an uninhabited area, and the appearance can only be imitated when it is born. If no one passes by at this moment, it is naturally impossible to transform into a human form. Therefore, humanoid spirit monsters are extremely rare, and it takes a lot of time to collect them.
"Go back."
After hanging the storage bag handed to them by Avril around their waists, they started their return journey.
Chapter 374: From Mountain to Sea
The train was running in the dark void.
The journey was long, more than half a month later, and the novelty of the girls' first arrival on the train had worn off. They were bored and found a row of seats to lie down with their eyes closed.
"Dear passengers, lunch is here." The beautiful flight attendant brought the meal, placed it on the table, and left neatly.
The three meals provided on the train are quite tasty, which is probably the only good news recently.
The five of them got up, gathered at the booth where lunch was served, took their portions and started eating.
But the journey without any entertainment was really boring, and even the delicious snacks couldn't save it.
"How long do you think it will take to get there?" The girl asked listlessly after swallowing the food in her mouth, although she knew very well that the other four people would not be able to answer her.
This is indeed the case.
The four of them shook their heads, and Farid put down his knife and fork. "After I got on the train, I guessed that the area of the 17th would be very large, but I didn't expect that it would take half a month to reach the destination."
"Why do you guess so?" The middle-aged man looked up from his plate.
“I’ve watched the British documentary about Hogwarts. It took the Queen five full days by train to reach the academy, and there’s a large area behind the academy.
By the way, the same goes for the mountain gate.
Although the video leaked from the mountain gate only shows a dozen peaks, it is easy to guess that there is a vast land under the sea of clouds. "
The young woman seemed to have paid attention to this matter as well: “Jinshui Town revealed a lot of information.
For example, the 'mortal world' of Shanmen has a complete dynasty system, alien races, and demons. "
"It's strange, why did the mountain sect allow the demons to wreak havoc in the mortal world?"
The girl leaned sideways on the table and said, "I don't care about these. I just want to know when I can get off the bus."
The middle-aged man smiled and comforted: "There will always be..."
"Hello, passengers. This train will arrive at No. 17 soon. Please take your belongings with you and don't forget anything. Welcome to take this train again."
The announcer's voice echoed in the carriage, and the five people stood up instantly, saying in surprise, "We're here!"
"Woo——"
A whistle sounded outside the window, and the train slowly slowed down and stopped.
The five people hurriedly walked out of their seats and prepared to get off the bus, but after standing there for a while they realized that they didn't know where the entrance or exit was.
Just as the girl was about to call the flight attendant, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and when their vision returned, they were already standing on a stone platform.
The platform was very wide and surrounded by darkness and void. The only thing standing in front of it was a huge, ancient stone door with a relief of strange creatures on it.
The five people walked towards the stone gate. When they got closer, they found a figure standing in front of the gate. They squinted their eyes and took a closer look. It turned out to be an acquaintance.
"Mr. Tefan!" The girl trotted in surprise.
Tefan, wearing a loose robe, smiled and waved: "See you again."
Farid, who was more stable, did not run, but his pace was much faster: "Mr. Tefan, is this number 17?"
"Yes."
The three people following behind them saw Tefan for the first time, and it was also their first time to come into close contact with a superhuman, so they were a little embarrassed. They put their hands in front of them and secretly looked at Tefan, who seemed to be only sixteen years old.
Tefan noticed the tension in the hearts of the three people and comforted them: "Relax, there are no bad people here."
The girl who had met Tefan several times and helped Tefan find the entrance to number 17 was not like the three of them. She said cheerfully, "Mr. Tefan, please open the door and take us in. I can't wait to see number 17!"
"Don't worry, you will spend a long time at number 17 in the future." He said as he turned and walked towards the stone door, "Follow me."
Tefan approached the door, and what surprised the five people was that the door was not open. Before they had time to think about it carefully, Tefan had already passed through the stone door and disappeared.
"This..." The girl stopped, thinking that this was an extraordinary method, "Mr. Tefan may have forgotten that we are still ordinary people."
"It's okay, later..."
"What are you doing outside? Come in quickly?" Tefan's voice came from inside the door.
The five people understood what was happening and stopped hesitating, kicking their feet towards the stone gate.
Although they were sure they would not bump into the door, the other four people except Farid still subconsciously closed their eyes.
Nothing unexpected happened. The five people walked side by side through the towering stone gate. At that moment, everyone felt a little dizzy and their steps staggered instinctively.
When they regained consciousness, they found themselves standing on a corridor.
There are doors at even intervals on the walls on both sides of the corridor, but there are no signs on them, so their specific functions are unclear.
Tefan stood in front of everyone and waved, "Follow me, I'll take you to the dormitory first."
After saying that, he turned and walked along the corridor.
The five of them immediately chased after him, and the girl asked curiously, "Mr. Tefan..."
“You are already students of Class 17, so you must call me Senior Tefan from now on.
I don’t mind how you address me, but the teachers here are more serious, and they will be unhappy if students are not polite.”
The girl was usually a little out of tune, but fortunately she could still make sense at the critical moment: "Senior Tefan, isn't there a wine barrel at entrance number 17?
Why did we come in from the sky?"
"That barrel is the back door, the one you entered is the main entrance."
The girl wanted to ask more questions, but Tefan stopped her directly: "Those are common sense questions. You will know them naturally after staying for a long time. Now I will explain the precautions for number 17."
The five people did not dare to despise it and pricked up their ears.
"First of all, you are strictly prohibited from opening any door on the corridor without the teacher's permission."
"What will be the punishment for violating the rules?" Farid glanced at the door next to him.
Tefan smiled and said, "You misunderstood. This rule is not because No. 17 has any secrets to hide, but for the safety of the freshmen.
for example……"
He stopped, reached out and pushed open the door on the left, and the five people immediately looked over.
The light in the house is dim and the environment is not very real.
The five people took a few steps closer and found that the layout inside was similar to that of a university's biology laboratory, with wooden tables neatly arranged and various experimental tools placed on the desks.
Behind each desk stood a student wearing the same robe as Tefan. They all lowered their heads and operated something on the desk with their hands according to the teacher's explanation.
"Three leaves of forest flowers and two standard units of oak wood. Hey, boy, who told you to put three?!"
What are the dangers?
The five people were puzzled and wanted to ask Tefan. However, just as they opened their mouths and before they could say anything, a fire suddenly appeared on a table, followed by a violent energy wave and an explosion.
Tefan was quick-witted and quick-handed, and he quickly closed the door, blocking the danger inside.
The two ladies' wildly dancing hair slowly fell back onto their backs, and the three men tentatively opened their eyes.
