……

In fact, as soon as Vincent took out the scroll, before he could spread it out, Lin Tianlang had already recognized it. After all, he had risked his life to bring it out of the psychedelic mirror, how could he not remember it!

“Finally cracked it…” Lin Tianlang narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists, and said slowly.

"Yes, we finally caught up." Vincent nodded.

At the beginning of this semester, Lin Tianlang went to Vincent to ask about the scroll. The answer he got at that time was "It takes time to crack the seal of the scroll. I will notify you when the scroll is cracked." So after that, Lin Tianlang never asked again. However, it does not mean that he has forgotten about it. He just knows that the principal will definitely find him first after the crack is completed, so it is useless for him to rush.

However, having said that, it takes too long to crack the scroll.

"Mr. Principal... why does it take so long to decipher the scroll? It's been a full half a year, from the summer vacation to now." Lin Tianlang couldn't help but complain.

"Half a year is relatively short," Vincent said seriously. "For some complicated seals, it's not uncommon to take a year or two to crack, and the steps are complicated, especially for those ancient seals that are very old. The seal that Senior Mace left on the scroll is relatively easy to crack. It only takes enough time to soak it in the medicine."

"Okay. Then... where is the whereabouts of the Holy Water Rainbow Gem?" Lin Tianlang asked.

"Take a look for yourself." Vincent gestured to Lin Tianlang.

Lin Tianlang picked up the scroll. There were only some simple lines drawn on it, and some outlines could be barely seen. Perhaps because of its age, the lines and words on it had faded a little, making it more difficult to understand the contents. Fortunately, Lin Tianlang soon found some clues.

"Principal... this, is this our school?"

Lin Tianlang looked at Vincent and asked.

"Yes." Vincent nodded slowly.

"That is to say... that is to say, the divine water rainbow gem is actually hidden near our school?!" Lin Tianlang said in surprise. The blazing rainbow gem was hidden directly in the school, and the frost rainbow gem was hidden in the underground palace near Eglan Town, 50 miles away from Saint Lent City, so overall it is not far from Saint Lent City and the school.

Now, judging from the information on the scroll, it is very likely that the God Water Rainbow Gem is also near the school. This means that the three gem fragments that make up the Light Rainbow Gem are actually not far from the school. This was beyond Lin Tianlang's expectations, as he thought the gem would be far away from the school.

"Sirius, this scroll is actually a map." Vincent said slowly.

“Map…?” A question mark popped up on Lin Tianlang’s head.

"Yes, look more carefully."

According to Vincent's suggestion, Lin Tianlang carefully read the scroll again and found some traces of suspected maps. But after determining that the scroll was a map, Lin Tianlang was even more surprised.

This scroll can actually be regarded as the floor plan of Saint Lun Magic Academy. Even the location of the teaching building is marked, but there is no activity field or playground. The school floor plan on the scroll is much smaller than the actual floor plan of the school. There are only two areas, the teaching building and the atrium, and there is not even a dormitory area.

But this is not surprising. After all, it was painted 500 years ago. The appearance of Saint Lun College at that time must have been very different from what it is now. Places like the playground did not exist before.

"Principal...if this part is the floor plan of the former academy...doesn't that mean that the Divine Water Rainbow Gem is actually quite close to us?" Lin Tianlang asked.

“You’re right.” Vincent replied softly, “In fact… I already roughly know where it is.”

"where is it?"

"In the Forbidden Forest." Vincent said slowly.

"Forbidden Forest? You mean... the forbidden forest next to the big lake behind the school?"

"Yes."

Vincent nodded, then sighed: "You are very familiar with the school rules. The Forbidden Forest is a restricted area and is generally forbidden to enter. The reason is very simple, because it is very dangerous. If a student accidentally enters it, he may encounter an accident if he is not careful."

“But now that the scroll map shows that the Divine Water Rainbow Gem is hidden in the Forbidden Forest, don’t we have to go in to get the gem?” Lin Tianlang said.

"Yes." Vincent nodded, then smiled bitterly: "This is indeed a very smart move. I never thought that Senior Mace would hide the gem in the forbidden forest."

"Mr. Principal... Speaking of which, what exactly is in the Forbidden Forest? What kind of danger is there?" Lin Tianlang pursed his lips and couldn't help asking.

"At the border of the Forbidden Forest, there is a very, very ancient space magic that can be traced back tens of thousands of years." Vincent said seriously, "The actual area of ​​the Forbidden Forest is much larger than it looks from the outside. From the outside, or from the sky, the Forbidden Forest is not much different in size from an ordinary forest. But if you really enter it, you will find that it is so huge, more than a thousand times larger than it looks on the surface."

"Also, this forest is very old, and many ancient magical creatures live in it. Once you mistakenly enter it, it is very easy to get lost. Once you get lost, there is no way back."

"So that's how it is... Mr. Principal, how do you know it so clearly?" Lin Tianlang asked.

"Because I've been in there before, and I almost didn't come out." Vincent said slowly. Hearing this, Lin Tianlang couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"The last time I entered the Forbidden Forest was about fifty years ago. That was ten years after I became the principal." Vincent said slowly.

"Oh my God, by that time, you were already a gold-level magician, right?" Lin Tianlang blinked and said in disbelief.

"Yes." Vincent nodded. The seriousness of the matter suddenly came to light. Even Vincent, a gold-level magician, almost got lost in the forbidden forest, not to mention the students.

"Alas... Actually, every year there are students who violate school rules and sneak into the Forbidden Forest, and then never come back. This is why this school rule is enforced most strictly. Later, in order to prevent similar tragedies from happening again, I simply set up an additional barrier magic at the border of the Forbidden Forest to isolate the students, and let Geer keep a close eye on it. The enforcement of this rule is the most stringent. Once a student is found trying to sneak into the Forbidden Forest, he will be severely punished. Those who refuse to change their ways will be expelled directly."

"So that's how it is..." Lin Tianlang nodded. To be honest, he had wanted to go into the forbidden forest to find out what was going on, but he was too busy so he never found the time.

"But now, if we want to get the fragment of the sacred water rainbow gem, we must enter the forbidden forest."

"Yes." Vincent nodded: "I will go in with you."

"Okay, then when do we set off?" Lin Tianlang asked.

"We will set off now. Tianlang, as I just told you, the war has already begun. Now we must race against time to do anything."

"..."

……

As the camera turned, Lin Tianlang and Vincent had arrived at the back mountain of the school. They walked along the edge of the lake and soon arrived at the border of the Forbidden Forest.

"This is the forbidden forest..." Lin Tianlang pursed his lips and said slowly.

"Sirius, let me open the barrier I set up first. After we enter the forbidden forest, we must leave marks at all times so that we can find the way back when we come back." Vincent said.

"Mr. Principal, didn't you say that you probably already know the location of the place indicated on the scroll map?" Lin Tianlang asked.

"Well, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the Forbidden Forest Temple in the forest. I passed by that temple when I entered the Forbidden Forest forty years ago." Vincent replied.

"I roughly remember the route, but just in case, we still need to mark the route and be fully prepared."

"Okay, I know."

While the two were talking, Vincent had already opened the barrier he had set up. Lin Tianlang saw that the barrier was pulled open to both sides like a curtain, revealing an entrance for the two to enter.

"Tianlang, follow me."

Vincent walked in front and was the first to enter the forbidden forest, followed closely by Lin Tianlang.

Just as the principal said, Lin Tianlang immediately realized something was different when he stepped into the border of the forbidden forest. An uncomfortable cold breath enveloped him, making him feel as if he had entered another world. When he was just outside the border, the sun was still bright in the sky, but now that he had stepped into the forbidden forest, everything around him immediately became gloomy, making him tremble uncontrollably.

In particular, Lin Tianlang's magical perception is now very sensitive, and any slight changes can be easily captured by him, let alone such obvious changes.

"Tianlang, hurry up and keep up, don't fall behind!" Vincent turned around and reminded him. Although the principal was less than five meters in front of him, Lin Tianlang felt that the voice seemed to come from far away.

"What a weird haunted place!" Lin Tianlang muttered to himself secretly, then hurriedly followed.
