Allen and his little bones [Western Fantasy]

Because Herbert brought up an inappropriate topic, Allen called his name in a deep voice: "Herbert!"

"Sorry." Herbert spread his hands, "I'm just stating the facts, without much malice."

Eli couldn't tell from the slightly indifferent face whether the "not much malice" was sincere or fake, but he was kind-hearted in nature, and the other party was younger than him—at least he seemed to be several years younger , he will not care about the faux pas in his words with a minor.

Eli said with a good temper: [It's okay. 】

For this reason, Herbert looked at the undead one more time, and his eyes were a little strange.

Allen sensed from this little movement that the boy wanted to say something more, and his gaze quietly fell on Herbert, who quickly noticed the gaze. After their eyes briefly met, Herbert shrugged. Shrugging his shoulders—this meant that he would stop talking nonsense.

Allen then looked away.

Teenagers are prone to pride and conceit, keen to express their individual views, love to break the frame, challenge authority, and resist the teachings of their elders and teachers.

In the world in which Allen lived, people called this "rebellious youth".

The residents of Asa Continent became adults at the age of 16, and after the awakening and differentiation at the age of 16, they entered the adulthood in the physiological sense from teenagers.

The demon youth Herbert, who is always not pleasant to speak, is just half a year away from awakening and differentiation. He is stepping on the tail of "adolescence" and seizes the time to show his rebellion.

Allen had intuitively experienced Herbert's "authority-challenging spirit" when he was acting as a substitute teacher in Black Academy. The teenagers were faintly opposed to him from class to life, but he was not afraid of such intentional or unintentional provocations. Concealed in the soil, he saw the tricks without changing his face, and after several "struggles", Allen figured out that Herbert's temper was just unpleasant most of the time.

Herbert comes from the legendary Vaal family who has the purest blood of the night clan. On the surface, he is a cold and arrogant young master. Not one, while scolding the other party, he quietly corrected all the things that were really almost wrong.

If Herbert was targeting himself, Alan wouldn't care about the other party's unstoppable yelling, but Herbert just found Eli, and even poked Eli's most terrible pain point right now.

Herbert received a silent warning from his former teacher for a long time, and shut up as good as he could.

Eli on the side didn't know what secret words Alan and Herbert had just exchanged, but he intuitively felt that Alan should have defended himself, which made him suddenly feel a little happy.

He was a little happy.

"It's getting late." Herbert said honestly, "Let's go to the academy quickly, everyone is still waiting for you."

After speaking, he turned around first.

The inner city of Karbi is divided into three overlapping fan-shaped areas, the left is the gathering place of the undead, the right is the settlement of the demons, and the center is the public boundary between the undead and the demons.

The only college in Kalby, Black Hall, is built in the Hesmelo Valley on the boundary of the Common.

Eli followed Alan to keep up with Herbert. He had read the map of Kelby in the elementary textbook of Black Academy, and knew that Hismelo Valley was still a long way from here, and right now, there was still an hour at most. When it was time for dinner, he couldn't help but wonder how they would get to Black Academy in this hour.

"Let's use the teleportation array to go there." Allen guessed what Eli was going to ask the moment the undead turned his head to look at him.

Eli was taken aback by Alan's prophet, and then asked curiously: [Teleportation array? 】

"In order to make it easier for students from different areas to arrive at the school quickly, Black Academy has set up multiple teleportation points in Karbi. Choose the destination, and you can go to another teleportation point." Allen answered Eli's question, "We will go to the nearest teleportation point now, and then use it to return directly to the main entrance of Black Academy."

【I see. 】

Eli thought they would have to walk a little longer to reach the teleportation point, but he didn't expect that the "closest teleportation point" that Allen mentioned was just 300 meters away, and they arrived at the destination in a short time.

Eli was still concentrating on looking at the magic circle in front of him, lamenting the subtlety of elemental magic from the bottom of his heart. Suddenly, he felt his bones tighten, and a familiar yet subtle grasping sensation came from one side of his ribs.

Allen embraced the undead with one arm, and brought Eli with the cloak and skeleton to his side. His slender fingers groped through the cloak to the gap between the skeleton's ribs, and then reached in, holding Eli's ribs to fix him.

【...Do we have to do this pose? ] Eli resisted the urge to break free, and asked Allen helplessly.

The temperature belonging to the human body suddenly magnified and approached from the side. He felt that the distance between himself and Allen was a bit too short, which made the skeleton stiff.

"I have to." Allen replied, still tightening his arms, almost wrapping the whole skeleton in his arms, "You have to get as close to me as possible."

【Why? 】Eli continued to ask, he vaguely felt that he was a little abnormally stiff, and vaguely began to get nervous.

— not quite right.

he thought to himself.

Before Alan could answer him, Herbert glanced at him, but answered first: "Although the teleportation array is very convenient, it also provides a way for those who may have evil intentions." A shortcut to enter the school. In order to prevent as much as possible malicious objects from entering the school to harm teachers and students, the instructors united and set restrictions on the teleportation circle. It will touch the restriction technique above and get punished."

Eli is naturally the type of object that "does not hold the imprint of Black Academy's spells".

But even though Eli didn't hold the spell imprint, Allen carried the magic weapon of the abyss token.

Items with the aura of the undead entering the transmission point with the Lord of the Abyss will be defaulted as the belongings of the token owner and will not be rejected by the limiting power.

The act of shortening the distance between Allen and Eli is precisely to make the undead skeleton look more like a "large carrying object".

After confirming that the incoming objects meet the restrictions of the magic circle, the teleportation circle lit up with silver-blue light, and the interlaced silver-blue light lit up from the center of the magic circle, and quickly flowed into every strand of the magic circle like a small trickle. Lines, until every rune on the magic circle is lit by silver-blue light, and the entire teleportation circle is also shrouded in a silver-blue halo.

Eli blinked his eyes in this light, and he found that he could hardly see what was around the light. The only thing he could really feel was Alan's body next to him.

There is no whirling in the imagination, and there is no whistling wind in my ears. It feels like closing my eyes when I feel unwell, and then when I open them again, I find that the world around me has changed.

The silver-blue light didn't last long, and when it slowly dissipated, the surroundings were no longer the endless desolate loess at the border of Karbi, but the eyes were full of greenery, and a few unknown monsters could be faintly heard in the valley. Growl.

Eli looked at the gate of Black Academy in front of him, and he felt his ribs loosen.

Allen on the side let go of his hand.

The undead turned around quietly, and under the cover of the cloak, he quietly touched the bones that still had the residual warmth of human palms.
