Being Blind For Five Years, All My Disciples Became Forbidden Curse Mages

187 Detection

On the tray in front of him were three pieces of black, gray, and white ore. In the big wooden cup beside him, there was a black and white half, clearly separated.

The old dwarf raised his trembling hand. A thin layer of skin hung on his bones, making him look weak.

He grabbed the white stone and placed it in the wooden cup.

Fang Ping stood in the corridor and watched the sunrise again.

!!

The dazzling light instantly dispelled the darkness and woke up the entire city. It was still very emotional to look at it again.

Fang Ping’s team had already lined up in the corridor. The Lord’s Guards in front rose with the sun and began to walk out. Fang Ping’s team followed behind.

Fang Ping turned around and took another look at this round, crown-like city.

There were still many things Fang Ping could not understand in the Holy City of Kailund. Where did the Dwarves get the crops for brewing wine, where did the Blacksmith Store get a large number of ores, why did the Dwarves live in the mountains, and what was the sun above their heads?

There were no answers to these questions. Perhaps he would come back to take a look when he had the chance in the future.

They left the Holy City of Kailund.

Walking out of a cave, there was a vast world in front of him. His location was on the rock wall on the side of the mountain.

Unlike the dazzling light of the Holy City of Kailund, it was still a little dim when he walked out.

It was six o’clock in the morning. The real sun had yet to rise. He could only see a hint of white on the distant horizon.

The sunrise of the Snow Moon was relatively late.

There was a long stone staircase on the steep mountain wall.

Fang Ping was too sleepy when he arrived. He had no impression of this stone staircase that was close to the mountain wall.

However, this stone staircase was quite wide. It was not a problem for two people to walk side by side. Compared to Fire Dragon City, it was much easier to walk.

Looking down from above, at the end of the stone stairs was a high stone wall and a sentry tower fixed in midair. Fang Ping had some impression of this.

However, there was still a Human army outside the stone wall.

Eh, where did this Human army come from?

Even if they were reinforcements, this place was so far from the Elf City. Had they arrived so quickly?

The quality of the reinforcements did not look too good. They had all kinds of equipment on them.

The effect of individual equipment was far worse than set equipment. Typically, people with money would be more willing to buy set equipment.

However, the leader was very imposing. He was wearing bright silver armor that was still eye-catching in the dark. He had short golden hair and a huge crossbow on his back.

“Characteristics failed. Target Van Helsing, not himself.”

Van Helsing?

Fang Ping had some impression of this name. He seemed to have heard it somewhere before, but he could not remember where.

He patted Qing Niao beside him. “Qing Niao, have you heard of Van Helsing?”

“Van Helsing? Are you talking about the Demon-Hunter General Van Helsing?”

When Qing Niao said that, Fang Ping remembered. Gran seemed to have mentioned that General Vincent had killed a Dragon, while General Van Helsing had killed a Demon.

“What’s wrong? Is that him in front?”

“I don’t know. Maybe.”

He wondered if Van Helsing, who stood before the stone wall, was this Demon-Hunter General.

However, with an army joining in, the subsequent journey should be safer.

A huge black shadow fell from the sky. The Demon Flame Chimera landed outside the stone wall. Ivan got off his back and walked towards Van Helsing.

The Lord’s Guards at the front were loading the carriages and feeding the warhorses. Fang Ping’s team stood on the stone stairs and waited.

A faint light had already lit up on the distant horizon.

On the mountain wall behind him were stone stairs, walkways, and caves. Thinking about it, this place was indeed easy to attack.

It did not take long for the Lord’s Guards to set off. Fang Ping’s team followed behind and went out the door.

Fang Ping walked at the back of the group. As Fang Ping came out, the door behind him slowly closed.

The three-day and two-night trip to the Holy City of Kailund officially ended.

He set foot on the road to the Forest of Elves again.

Last night, Bianca had specifically come to look for Qing Niao and said that she wanted to eat his roasted wild vegetables. She would buy as much as he had.

Therefore, Qing Niao was especially diligent today. As soon as he walked down the stone stairs and stepped on the ground, his eyes searched everywhere on the ground covered in thin snow.

“No, it’s too disadvantageous to walk behind. Many of them have been pulled away by the people in front. Fang Ping, I’ll go ahead first.”

As he spoke, he ran forward.

As soon as Qing Niao left, Fang Ping was the only one at the back of the team. However, there was also someone who was slowly falling behind and had already retreated to Fang Ping’s side.

Mai Wen limped along with a large backpack and a cane in his hand. He also had a metal prosthetic leg, but it was obvious that it wasn’t custom-made. The length didn’t match and he couldn’t walk steadily.

Fang Ping was not familiar with him, so he did not say anything. He just watched as he slowly walked behind him.

Looking at Mai Wen, Fang Ping made up his mind. Being a Forbidden Spellcaster was indeed a wise choice. At the very least, he could protect himself most of the time.

The army led by Van Helsing and the Lord’s Guards walked in front. Fang Ping had been worried that something would sneak up on him from behind, so he would use Special Abilities on his surroundings from time to time. Fortunately, nothing had happened so far.

When he stopped for lunch, Fang Ping saw a huge cave in the distance. From afar, he could vaguely see some small mounds beside the cave.

Fang Ping took out a yellow melon pancake from his bag and took a bite.

He returned to his life of eating dry rations.

...

After eating the pancake, Fang Ping lay on the ground to rest before the team set off.

Mai Wen clucked and walked over.

Fang Ping continued to lie on the snow and looked at the sky. White clouds floated in the blue sky. The sun shone on his body, warming him up. When the breeze blew, it was quite comfortable.

If only he could take a nap.

Fang Ping slowly closed his eyes.

“Woof… Woo…”

A long dog bark came from afar.

It should be the big dog that was fighting Ivan.

Fang Ping continued to close his eyes. A Legendary-rank battle had nothing to do with him.

“Let’s go.”

As soon as he got up from the ground, he heard Elsa call him.

...

“Fang Ping, go scout the surroundings.”

“Ok.”

Fang Ping ran in the direction of the barking.

Generally speaking, the army respected commanders very much.

However, although Fang Ping had been a commander many times, most people still had a flat attitude towards Fang Ping.

On one hand, they were both students and could be considered equals. On the other hand, Fang Ping’s command was indeed not good. There was nothing special about it.

More importantly, how could a commander be respected as a part-time scout every day?

Fang Ping did not mind. Respect doesn’t help fill the stomach.

…

At noon, Aoba entered the training ground early as usual. Someone was waiting for him at the entrance of the Professional Hall.

“You must be Aoba.”

Aoba stopped and looked at the black-robed person in front of him.

“Are you from the black market?”

A hoarse and deep male voice sounded, as if someone was holding his throat.

“Hehehe, who I am is not important. I have a big business deal to discuss with you. I wonder if you are interested?”

“Oh? There’s business? What’s business?”

“Hehe, of course it’s not convenient to say it here. I’m just here to invite you. Tonight, in Room 13 of the Black Market Poet Bar, I’ll wait for your arrival.”
