Chapter 270 Entering the Everdusk Garden

The next day, early in the morning, Locke tidied himself up a bit, hired a carriage, and came to the entrance of the wizard’s secret realm in the Everdusk Garden.

This is a ruined building located deep in the forest. Because it is located deep in the forest, it is full of dangerous magical plants. Ordinary wizard apprentices cannot even get close to it.

Zoina, a first-class wizard apprentice wearing a black wizard robe and looking very introverted, looked at Locke and said, “Senior…is this the entrance to the secret realm? But there is no one here…”

Locke frowned slightly. He looked around and saw only the remains of the foundation of an ancient building and some broken walls. There were some magical words engraved on the walls, but they had become incomplete with the passage of time.

“Are you going to enter the Everdusk Garden? Show me your application form.” A tall and thin wizard in a tattered black robe walked out from behind a wall among the ruins. He held a huge sickle in his hand, like the guardian here.

Locke felt the magical pressure from him that was equivalent to that of a first-class wizard apprentice, but the strange thing was that the opponent’s magical pressure fluctuated. Sometimes it was so high that it seemed extremely close to a first-ring wizard, and sometimes it was just at the level of a first-class wizard apprentice.

Sometimes, the demonic pressure might even break through the limit and reach an unknown realm, which seems very strange.

Moreover, the other person was filled with a strong aura of death and did not seem to be a living person.

The guardian wizard took the application form from Locke and Zoina and confirmed the academy’s magic seal on it. He chuckled with gloating satisfaction and said, “Confirmed, it is indeed the academy’s magic seal.”

“Good luck to you two.”

“Eternal Dusk Garden…Welcome, both of you.”

The guardian wizard held up the two application forms in his hands and used both hands to put the two application forms together. Suddenly, the magic seals on the two application forms overlapped with each other to form a complete seal.

The magic seal projected a magical projection in the air. At the same time, the ruins began to change dramatically.

First, a mist rose from the ruins, and tiny lantern flowers crawled all over the ground, emitting a faint crystal light.

The flowers of each kind of lantern flower look like a lantern held in a person’s hand. The light of these lantern flowers is like a street lamp in the dark night, releasing intense brilliance.

The guardian wizard scoffed. “You two students from Lilith’s Cottage will surely create unforgettable memories here.”

“Don’t worry too much. You will automatically leave the wizard secret realm after death.”

“You won’t actually die in the wizard’s secret realm, but you will truly experience the concept of death and bear the punishment of death. If you can’t mentally endure it, please cherish your only chance to regret and leave here immediately.”

Locke frowned and immediately asked, “What if I don’t die in there? Is there any way to leave the Everdusk Garden, this secret wizard realm, other than death?”

The guardian wizard looked at Locke and said indifferently: “You don’t need to think about this issue.”

“Because there is no such possibility.”

The Guardian Wizard waited for a moment and said, “Since no one is withdrawing at this moment, please enter the memory echo of the First Ring Wizard Foucault.”

“Good luck to you two again.”

The next moment, the guardian wizard disappeared, and the magical mist enveloped Locke and Zoina.

When the magic mist dissipated, the original ruins were transformed into a magnificent manor.

In front of this elegant manor in the dark night, there are marble statues of various shapes, races, and identities.

The full moon, the manor, the statues of soldiers and the ground full of lantern grass. The breeze blows, and countless magical fireflies dance in the air.

Zoina’s eyes widened. “Senior, where is this place?”

Only then did Locke understand that the wizarding secret realm of Everdusk Garden was actually built on the echo of a formal wizard.

Echoes are the product of an official wizard’s death.

It seems that this wizard secret realm is actually the Lilith Hut that was formed after the death of a wizard from the Transfiguration School. It was a response, modification, even solidification, and control of his death, and then it became the current wizard secret realm for wizard apprentices to practice.

According to what the Watcher said before, this means that he and Zoina are currently in the memory of a deceased first-ring wizard.

No wonder Teacher Harun Vera said that entering the wizard’s secret realm can allow one to learn what a permanent defensive force field is. So this is what he meant.

The wizard’s secret realm is indeed a special place!

Locke looked at the manor. The outside and inside of the manor were all marble statues. Some of these statues were human soldiers, some were dwarf miners, and some were elven wizards, but they all had the same face.

It’s as if these statues are all of the same person, but with different identities of that person.

Locke saw the base of a fairy statue and wrote: “Each of us has many identities, but there is no absolute innate identity, only the initial state that has not yet been transformed by magic.” – Foucault.

Locke sensed the other party’s magical philosophy from this statement. He said to Zoina, who was in doubt and anxiety, “This should be the memory of a first-level wizard of the Transfiguration School.”

“From what’s written on the statue’s base, we can guess that the person is most likely a wizard from the Transfiguration School.”

Zoina’s mouth dropped open slightly. “Ah? Senior, these are the memories of a First Ring Wizard?”

“Then it must be very dangerous here.”

The next moment, a huge marble statue of a minotaur warrior suddenly appeared behind Zoina, holding his marble axe, and chopped towards her head from top to bottom.

Locke caught her and immediately used the Great Blue Owl Basho, used Plant Mimicry: Bird of Prey, flew into the air, and avoided the giant axe attack of the marble statue soldier.

The next moment after they flew into the air, three marble arrows fell mercilessly on their original positions, making a “clang” and “clang” sound.

In an instant, all the marble in the manor seemed to be given some kind of life. They came alive, and the energy of transformation flowed through them. An army of marble statues appeared here.

A stream of magical energy was released from the center of the manor, and the malice, accompanied by magical pressure, penetrated Locke and Zoina.

‘Dark wizard, how dare you come before me!’

‘I’m going to kill you!’
