Wizard: I have an inventory

Ryan found Demps, and the two walked side by side on the path outside the academy. There was a hint of dullness in the wind. Ryan held a token in his hand, and his face looked more solemn than usual. Demps keenly noticed Ryan's unusualness, turned his head and looked at him, breaking the silence.

"Ryan, looking at your expression, it seems that there is something important to tell me." Demps asked with a smile, with a hint of inquiry in his tone.

Ryan stopped, frowned slightly, and his eyes fell on the outline of the Blackstone Lowland Academy in the distance. The towering academy looked lonely and solemn in the gradually darkening sky, as if it was about to be shrouded in some kind of shadow.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "I just received a long-term task. Mentor Nat personally gave me permission and suspended all my obligations in the Colin family contract."

Ryan was really grateful to Mentor Nat. It was obvious that he had just met him and spent an unknown amount of money.

A hint of surprise flashed in Demps' eyes: "Suspend the contract? It seems that this mission is unusual."

Ryan nodded, his expression became more serious, and his voice was lowered, with a bit of obscurity: "Yes, the mission is indeed unusual. And..."

He paused, a trace of caution in his eyes, and continued, "I heard some rumors that the war may be approaching."

Dumps was stunned for a moment, and his face became solemn in an instant. He frowned, as if trying to digest Ryan's words: "War? You mean... against the Bone Forest?"

Ryan nodded, without saying much, but the meaning in his eyes was clear enough. The shadow of war loomed over their world, and the turmoil that was about to happen was far more profound than the fate of any individual. Demps did not ask more, but he was obviously aware of the severity of the situation.

Everyone, whether apprentice or wizard, cannot be immune.

Dumps was silent for a moment, his eyes became deep. He realized that the situation before him was far more serious than he had imagined. He knew that Ryan would not reveal such information for no reason, which meant that the senior management of the academy had already noticed something.

"Then I'll leave first."

"Okay..."

Dumps watched Ryan's back gradually go away, and felt a little uneasy and angry in his heart. He maintained relationships with formal students everywhere, but no one had revealed this matter.

He cooperated with the pharmacist and secretly sold potions to wandering wizards. He even earned 40% more magic stones from other academies, but most of these magic stones were used on others.

If he had known this earlier, he might as well buy a few magic items to protect himself.

After Ryan said goodbye to Demps, he held a wooden box full of items and left the empty formal student dormitory. Most people had left two weeks ago.

Various bottles and jars were neatly arranged in the wooden box, full of them, shining with various magical lights. These were left behind when he was hiding his abilities. They were worth about 5,000 magic stones, and he never had the chance to sell them.

"These potions can not only provide me with protection for the upcoming tasks, but also be used to exchange for more resources if a war really breaks out."

A few hours later, Ryan drove a fully equipped carriage, with a tall warhorse of Warcraft blood in front of the carriage. This kind of horse is not only powerful, but also has the instincts of Warcraft, and its speed and endurance far exceed those of ordinary horses. After Ryan prepared everything, he drove slowly towards the gate of the academy.

When he came to the exit of the academy, several tall guards stood in front of the huge stone gate - they were the guardians of the academy, named Stone-faced Statue.

They were covered in heavy stone armor, with no expression on their faces, just standing there quietly, guarding the safety of the academy.

Ryan drove to the Stone-faced Statue and slowly took out the token that Instructor Nat gave him. The stone-faced ghost lowered his head, and glanced at the runes on the token with cold and silent eyes. Then, the stone-faced ghost stretched out a huge stone arm and gently stopped Ryan, as if waiting for confirmation.

Ryan took a deep breath, recalled the password the administrator told him, and then whispered the complex rune password.

Along with Ryan's voice, a faint light flashed on the token, and the runes on the arm lit up. They nodded silently, then slowly retracted the stone arm, and opened the stone door to the outside world for Ryan.

Ryan waved the reins, and the carriage made a dull sound. The horse's hooves stepped on the stone road and gradually moved away from the heavy stone wall of the academy.

He looked back at the outline of the academy, and complex emotions surged in his heart, but he knew that the road ahead was full of unknowns and dangers, and his fate was already closely linked to the upcoming war.

The stone door slowly closed, separating Ryan from the academy. He drove into the distance along the path on the map.

…

Ryan drove the carriage skillfully, speeding on the bumpy mountain road. The sunlight shone through the sparse treetops, scattering on the shaft of the carriage, but it could not dispel the darkness and gloom in the forest.

Suddenly, three ghouls rushed out from the woods on the side of the road, their eyes glowing green, and they pounced on him with their teeth and claws.

After the transformation, the strength of each ghoul can be comparable to that of a second-class apprentice, and they are good at close combat. I didn't expect that they would be used on him.

"Damn it, this is really a ghost!"

Ryan cursed, quickly took out a bottle of explosive potion from his waist, and smashed it hard at one of the ghouls. The potion exploded the moment it came into contact with the ghoul, and the powerful impact pushed it back several meters away.

"Come on, you monsters!" Ryan shouted loudly, and at the same time cast shadow binding. A dark energy rope shot out from his hand and tightly wrapped around another ghoul.

He took the opportunity to activate the shadow thorn ring, and several sharp shadow thorns shot out from the ring. They were like black lightning, hitting the bound ghoul accurately, causing it to howl in pain.

However, the third ghoul took this opportunity to pounce on Ryan. Its claws pierced deeply into Ryan's shoulder, and the severe pain made him spit out blood.

"Ah!"

Ryan screamed and felt that several of his ribs seemed to be broken. But he did not give up resistance, but endured the pain and threw out another bottle of explosive potion. The potion exploded in the air, and the flames and smoke produced temporarily delayed the ghoul's actions.

"Cough cough..." Ryan coughed and coughed up some blood. He knew that he had to get rid of the ghoul's entanglement as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Shield spell!" Ryan shouted and activated the shield spell on his body. A layer of transparent energy shield enveloped him, successfully resisting the attack of the ghoul.

Ryan took the opportunity to get rid of the ghoul's entanglement, regained control of the carriage, and continued to rush forward. While driving, he angrily said to himself: "I can't die here, it's better not to let me know who did it!"
