Section 8 A catastrophe

If there is enough light in your heart, you will not be afraid of darkness!

The Guild of the Gods, a guild that symbolizes the supreme magic above all the guilds, and can even override the imperial power, was founded by President Di Su himself, and there are eleven powerful experts under the president, they are all vice presidents, it is said that they have the most powerful magic in this continent, the level difference between the guilds of the gods is obvious, the system is well organized, their main guild is located in the inner city of the imperial capital, and the deputy guilds are stationed in the four regions of the empire by the remaining eleven people, and they will use teleportation magic to the top of the warriors to participate in the guild's force selection in May every year, as the largest guild, they naturally also took on the heavy task of protecting the empire

President Diser is a mysterious being who has been heard to enjoy the uninhibited life and does not like to live the day-to-day job of managing the guild, and he has traveled the entire empire alone

....................................................................................

There are a total of five floors in the red capital, like the passers-by who trade in the red capital will be arranged on the first floor, the second floor is where the newcomers who have just joined the red capital live, and so on, the president will live on the top floor of the red capital, and will often come down to see the newcomers fighting, and sometimes follow them to carry out tasks, but as a bystander, they will not interfere until they have to

Kai especially likes to see the vibrant and energetic scene in the guild, and he sometimes twists his beard and smiles, which is fascinating

Xiu took the nameplate through the bustling crowd, and walked straight to the second floor, the second floor is transparent before and after, the door of each room has its own name written on it, there are not so many decorations in the room, a table, a bed, a window, everything is so simple, the door has a sealing magic, which can isolate the sound from the outside world, this is the president's careful arrangement, some members need to rest quietly, so that they can practice in the forest during the day, and some guild members are extremely talented, they do not need to go through combat training, they only need to stay quietly in the room and study books to make their cultivation much closer, and Xiu, belonging to the former, does not have so many talents, I had to practice honestly, and there was no other way

Xiu sat quietly on the bed and closed his eyes to recuperate, the red moonlight shone into Xiu's room through the window, after a busy battle, it was time to take a good rest

There seems to be some movement on the fifth floor

...................................

The president was talking to a man of good build

"For Xiu, you should pay more attention in the future, contact me if there is anything abnormal, this is an order given to you by the king, I will leave first, there are other things to do", when that person mentioned Xiu, the president's face seemed to be ugly, and after talking for a while, he turned into a dark shadow and left

With his hands behind his back, the president stood at the window and looked out of the window

A "plop" sound came from the rooftop

"Who's eavesdropping?" the chairman jumped out of the house as he pushed his feet on the floor into a white light

I saw a red light outside the house jump from the eaves of the five-story building

The white light quickly chased after it, and with it was the collision between magic and magic, red and white light intertwined, and it was inevitable to touch it

The people in the courtyard of the red capital heard the sound of the fight and chased after it

And Xiu also saw this scene and followed

"It's been a long time, old friend, I came to visit you today, but I didn't think of fighting with you," I saw an old man wearing a dark red cloak suspended in the air and said with an evil face

"Oh, who's your old friend, you treacherous fellow," said the president

"We're comrades-in-arms who fought bloodily, old classmates."

"Rocky, do you still have the face to say, in order to defeat me, you did not hesitate to turn your back on the human race to learn some supreme magic, look at you, what has become of you now, no human is not a ghost, no ghost."

"My current strength is enough to crush you, I'm too lazy to tell you this, I came here to find the saintess of our blood clan, I heard that you are still good in the red capital, no, I came to visit you, but you are still that old stubborn, you are still hundreds of years old, you still can't forget the past, and you are still so persistent, but this time I came over and seemed to overhear some important secrets, hehe"

"Don't talk nonsense, take your life, today I want to clean up the portal for the master" Qi Fei put his hands together in the air, pure magic gathered from his hands, milky white light spread out from the palms of his hands, and the surroundings condensed into a gust of wind

"What kind of magic is this?" Xiu was shocked, he had never seen this kind of magic in so many years

"This is the president's light magic, the president and Rocky were old classmates, working together in the Magic Association, and later because of political disagreements, they turned against each other, and Rocky also degenerated into a blood clan"

Drawing a formation with one hand and the other finger forward, he saw hundreds of white arrows flying towards the red shadow, and Rocky defused the attack with just a tap of one finger

"Old classmate, I don't want to fight with you, with your current strength, you can't beat me at all, I said it a long time ago, I wanted to catch up with you, but you didn't appreciate it, but you wanted to put me to death, forget it, since you are like this, I will not be merciful" Rocky slowly landed on the tree, and with a wave of one hand, a red light flew out and slapped the president away, falling into the air, "This is absolute power, you know? The red light flew away quickly, but the chairman fell to the ground, clutching the dirt on the ground in his hands

Everyone was shocked, a guild leader with hundreds of people couldn't even resist a single blow when facing a former enemy, how terrifying that person's strength should be

"That familiar red light, could it be that they are all members of the Blood Clan?" Xiu thought of being injured by two red shadows when he first entered the forest before

The people of Hongdu helped the president to the fifth floor, and the chairman sat on the sofa in the living room and waved his hand to let everyone leave, leaving only Xiu alone

"Xiu, come over here," Qi sat on the couch and beckoned to Xiu, who was standing there

Xiu walked over slowly

"What kind of man do you think the king is?" Kei asked

"A man of vision and strategy, amiable," Xiu said

"As a foreigner, you will naturally think that he is like that, but it seems to me that it is nothing more than a wicked intention to deceive the world hidden under his hypocritical countenance."

"How?" Xiu asked rhetorically, standing there

"He has left the safety of his family behind for his own selfish desires, is such a king still worthy of being a king?" Qi said angrily

"President, you're going to lose your head when you hear this" Xiu was shocked, he didn't expect the always amiable president to be so angry

"I've set up three layers of environmental magic here, no one will hear it, I just hope you can really understand that hypocritical person, forget it, these things will be told to you later, this time I called you to tell you one thing"

"What's the matter?"

"You were there when I fought that guy just now, right?"

"Yes, President, I was down there at the time, and that person's strength is really terrifying," Xiu wiped the sweat from his face and said in horror

"That person used to be my classmate, a classmate of fifteen years, the teacher doted on both of us very much, we were his proud disciples, and the two most gifted, he was three years younger than me, but his ability exceeded all his peers in the Magic Association, I entered the association earlier than him, and the magic I learned was more pure, he was jealous because he couldn't catch up with me, he longed for power, he hoped that one day he could get the supreme magic, he hoped that the teacher could really pay attention to him, the seeds of hatred that had been planted in his heart, because the teacher cared more about me, and he would think of me in everything, but he didn't expect that the teacher had told meIf it weren't for the fact that he had turned his back on the righteous path, his strength would have become the top one on this continent" Qi had a sad face

"Did you turn your back on the righteous path and join the Blood Clan?" said Xiu

"Yes, he went to the Twilight Forest alone, signed a pact with the Bloodline, he gained power, and lost his essence"

"There are still such people?"

"Because of him, our teacher was brutally killed by the blood clan, the teacher did not hesitate to give up his life in order to save him, but he was still powerless to recover, when Rocky handed over the teacher's cold body to me, I wanted to kill him desperately, but I couldn't do anything, he was followed by two old men of the blood clan, I couldn't do anything for the teacher" Kai gritted his teeth and said

"He told me that he didn't want to see this either, and that he did all this to make the teacher look up at him and be proud of him, but he didn't expect to end his life because of it," said Kai, his eyes darkened, and he bowed his head

"I swear, I must become stronger, I must avenge my teacher, and then I joined the army of the Empire, when the Blood Clan invaded the continent and killed other races, I swore that I must wipe the Blood Clan from this world, this cruel race kills endlessly just to improve its magical power, this is inhumane"

"The army and the blood clan fought for seven days, the blood clan could not be eliminated, it could only be contained to the minimum, no race could restrain this strong and domineering race, at that time, there were only three people left in the blood clan that could not be exterminated, including him, it was also at that time that I knew the true face of Yuan.............

Xiu stood quietly and listened to the president tell the story of that time

.................................................................................................................

"I heard that you have a good relationship with Xin?"

"Do you mean the prince?"

"That's right, there's something I need to ask you to come forward to talk about."

"What's the matter?"

"The Blood Clan is going to be revived this time, they have already begun to look for the Holy Maiden, and the Holy Maiden of the Blood Clan will become the fourth immortal person in that powerful race, you help me tell the prince, by the way, you have been targeted by the assassin organization raised by the king, be careful in everything, I don't want our empire to fall into war again, I hope you can tell the prince that only he can inherit the throne and turn the tide, from my observations over the years, he is a Ming Jun, I hope he can save this crisis, and only he can do it"

"Can you do this? By the way, you can't tell anyone else, not even the king, you know?"

"I will do my best as the president has commanded," said Xiu straightening up, clenching his right hand into a fist on his chest

..............................................................................................................

Sleepless nights

The moonlight shone through the windows and onto the ground

At this time, Smoke, Elanther, and Xiu were sitting in the room discussing something

"Are you packing up your things and getting ready to go?" asked Elanther

"Yes, I'll be back in about two or three days," Xiu said

"You went to this standings this time, but your name will soon be gone, but there are a bunch of masters in this standings," Xun said

"No way, I have to do what the president has explained," Xiu said

"Okay, then have you packed up your things, let's go, our guild has its own teleportation magic array, which can facilitate you to quickly move from the guild to our main guild located in the imperial capital, and it doesn't take you so long to rush," Ellandrocer said

"Okay, let's go."

...............................................................

There is a huge magic circle in the southeast of the guild, the magic circle has blue lines on it, and in the center of the circle is a water-blue stone floating there, and there are members of the guild stationed there around the magic circle

"This is our guild's exclusive magic array, other small guilds don't have it," Ellandro patted his chest and said proudly

"Our guild has a lot of magicians who can teleport magic, and they provide energy to the magic circle in the eight locations around the circle, and that stone is used to store this powerful energy," Xun said

"Okay, let's send it here, I have to go, this mission is urgent, the president said that I can directly enter our guild after completing this mission, and there is no need to conduct a newcomer assessment, hehe" Xiu scratched his head and said embarrassedly

"When is the president going to go through the back door?" said Elanther, speechless

"You haven't officially entered the guild yet, so let's use my score card this time," Smoke took out a blue sign from the ring and waved it towards the magic array, then took a few steps back and left the magic array

There were waves from the blue magic array, like a drop of water falling into the surface of a still lake, causing ripples, and the water-blue stones floated in the array, like a beating heart

Xiu slowly stepped into the teleportation magic array, touched the stone with his hand, and a blue light suddenly enveloped Xiu's entire body, the air around the array seemed to be compressed suddenly, the blue light dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, Xiu came to a place in the outer city of the imperial capital

Almost in the early hours of the morning, the people in the outer city began to get busy one by one, there were stone buildings in the main guild of the red capital, and a stone magic book statue was placed in the center of the entire guild, and the magic book was broken, as if it had undergone the baptism of history

Behind the statue is a large three-story building with the word "Library" written directly above it, and several scholars in white robes have just stepped out of the library, their mouths talking about the inadequacy of summoning magic

"You're new here, aren't you?" one of them walked towards Xiu

"yes, are you talking about summoning magic?" Shu asked

"The magic of summoning is unfathomable, and even people like us have memorized the contents of the thirteen thousand books in this library, but they are still only scratching the surface."

"Yes, we've spent nearly forty years studying this magic, but now we can only build some magic arrays, by the way, you don't seem to be an official member of our guild, right?

"That's right, I'm just a newcomer now, and the president wants me to come to the imperial capital to do some things."

"Oh, since that's the case, then you should hurry up, the things that the president asks for are generally very urgent, especially if you are sent to carry out a mission, hahahaha" The white-robed old man smiled and leaned back

"Then I'll go first," Xiu arched his hand and ran towards the guild gate

"I'm afraid that the guild has encountered something big, you go and inquire," the white-robed old man said to a young man wearing guild clothes next to him

......................................................................

The quiet streets began to slowly become lively, and a red sun slowly rose in the east of the empire, and the clouds shrouded around the sun, glowing with the dark red of almost dusk, and the dim lights scattered on the streets and roads, even so, they could not illuminate the damp and gloomy corners, the towering castles were built on top of the mountains that stretched for thousands of miles, and the cold iron chains pulled the black gates that slowly fell, which was the only way from the outer city to the inner city, and the exhausted soldiers still began to stand guard day after day, the sleepy eyes and the armor covered by the morning dew seemed to reflect the revelry of last night, and a layer of frost was formed on the eyelashesThere was a young man on the mossy stone floor, he entered through the west gate, and ran towards the east, and there was a clear sound of leather boots trampling the ground from the quiet street, and when he looked closely, this person was Xiu who was going on a secret mission this time, and he merged with the night, and rose with the morning sun

"Hey, boy, what are you doing? Do you have a permit to enter the inner city?" a soldier straightened his cold helmet and stopped Xiu as he ran

"No, I have some things to do when I enter the inner city this time, I hope you can be accommodating, sir," Xiu said

"Get out of here without a permit!, don't get in the way, I still have my own things to do," said a face with a deep scar as he looked at Xiu viciously

"Then, if I have a handwritten letter written by the guild leader, can I go in?" Xiu said as he took out a yellowed roll of paper from his ordination, only to see that the paper was stamped with the seal of Red Maple, and Xiu handed it over

"Oh, what kind of guild is it?"

"Red Capital"

"Oh, it's the garbage dump, it's said that the guild can be entered by any race, and anyone can take it, it's ridiculous, magic is so low, how can we conquer the world by force like us," the soldier said with a sneer

"You ......" Xiu clenched his fists

"What are you, what are you!!?, am I not right?" hahaha," the soldier turned to the others and laughed

"What are you arguing about?" said a drunken chief who staggered over and leaned against a pillar beside the door

"This kid wants to go into the inner city to do something, this is the handwritten letter written by their president," the soldier respectfully handed over the handwritten letter with both hands

"What a normal thing to do, just let him in, what a noise, what a disappointment, hey, boy, what are you going to do in the inner city?"

"You don't need to worry about it, sir."

"You hairy boy, you didn't know where you were when I went to the battlefield, where are you going?"

"Imperial Palace"

"Oh?!" The originally drunk face suddenly became serious, and he looked at Xiu with interest

"By the way, I'm just going to the Imperial Palace to do something, you come with me"

..............................................................

"Why have you all become like this?" Xiu saw more than a dozen soldiers in the inner city around the campfire, drinking wine and eating meat, and some of them were already drunk and unconscious

"We, ah, just came back from the northern border to celebrate, this time, just in time for the prince's birthday, several nobles in the north of the empire are estimated to be impatient with the birthday of the emperor, and want to poke some baskets in this day of national celebration, no, a rebellion was launched on the northern border, and our troops stationed in the north went to suppress it according to the king's orders, and they have won a great victory in the past few days, and they have come back to the imperial capital to invite merit, haha, those nobles are really overwhelmed"

"I guess it's because I've had too many good days, and I always want to hold the power in my own hands," Xiu said

"yes, they were thinking about what kind of northern utopia they were building a few days ago, who knows, and now they are being razed to the ground"

"I'm going to the king now, how about you?"

"I'm going to the prince, there are some things to do, let's leave it at that" After saying that, Xiu went straight to the prince's residence

"What a strange fellow......." straightened his armor, put his sword in the side hall and walked towards the king's palace
