Merlin College Chapter 16: A Little Storm (1)

At the gate of Merlin College, Carter Alexander and his group of horses were looking into the distance.

Today is September 13th. It's been a day since the agent reached Britain. Sylbe volunteered to meet him, only to be attacked by an unknown necromancer on the way. Thankfully, under the protection of the agent, Sylbe managed to wait for the support of the Academy and Green Bein. So this morning, almost all the students who were available rushed to the door of the academy to catch a glimpse of the agent. Carter and his horses stood in the middle of the crowd, enjoying the disdainful gazes of the students around them, proudly like emperors patrolling their territory. It's just that even if he is an emperor, he is definitely a cruel tyrant, otherwise how could he turn a blind eye to the eyes of the flies around him?

"President Carter has done a good job! This time I have grasped the handle of Sylbey's mother-in-law, and I must use her mistake this time to make a big fuss and try to get her to hand over the throne of student council president. "There is definitely no shortage of stalkers in the Pure-Blood Brotherhood, and they have a very low reputation among the average student of the Academy. The only one with a slightly positive rating is President Carter Alexander. Most of the children of the new aristocracy were attached to Carter's surroundings. Among them, there are descendants of merchants, and there are descendants of politicians, all of whom have exchanged money and power for the secrets of magic and their current aristocratic status, except for a noble status that is not recognized by the old nobles, their group of not very smart second ancestors really have no advantage compared to other students. So the man who spoke usually stood beside Carter with a whisker.

Carter frowned slightly, and then showed a smug smile and said: "No, this is not interesting, I am a nobleman, not the same as a commoner like Silbey, what I want to prove is that I must be better than her, then I must take the position of president from her hand with my strength, otherwise what is this? Although I don't like the rabbit, but this accident is obviously not within the rabbit's ability, I still know this." You remember, we must not only be elegant, we must be noble, but we must also win the dignity. Do you understand?"

The sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked fraternity member next to him added a flattering smile at the right time, and quickly nodded yes. The students who heard the conversation around them took a few steps to the side, and such a conversation was simply mental pollution in their ears.

However, Carter was clearly not a man of patience, and he looked around and suddenly noticed another group of people on the other end of the crowd. He suddenly smiled mischievously.

"Yo, isn't this all of the Apocalypse?" Carter greeted in an exaggerated tone, and the whole person squeezed through the middle crowd and walked towards the white-clothed people in the distance. The group of students were all dressed in crisp white formal suits, and unlike the black uniforms of nearby students, their white formal uniforms were extra-custom-made oversized robes decorated with white crosses. The group of students was carefully discussing something, startled by Carter's loud voice.

As soon as the leader turned his gaze, he saw Carter affectionately open his hands and give him an affectionate hug between delinquent teenagers. The surrounding members of the Apocalypse Society shook their heads as if an eagle had caught a shivering chick.

"O revered saint, mouthpiece of the great gods, pious man of our college, Joshua bathed in the glory of the Lord, my old friend, tell me, what are you here for?" Carter lovingly put his arm around Joshua's shoulders and sang Joshua as a saint in a priestly tone. The surrounding students couldn't help but laugh out loud when they heard Carter's exaggerated performance.

The young man, Joshua, was so humiliated by Carter's words that the flush spread to the base of his ear.

"Friend Carter, we are all God's faithful people, and we are also taught by His holy voice, how can you be so unorthodox. Although Joshua was "captured" by Carter, it was clear that he was not a man who was willing to be manipulated, so he rebuked him sternly while trying to break free of Carter's arms.

Carter was freed by Joshua and burst out laughing with his arms folded: "Okay, okay, who are God's people like you? Are you still pretending to be a devout believer even though you are a wizard? Shouldn't magic be counted as a trick of the devil if you really talk about it? Are you also the one who made a deal with the devil, and now you still have to pretend to be a priest in holy robes?"

Joshua was not angry at Carter's words, but smiled slightly, and could see that his temper was really good, "The merciful Lord has given every one of us who bears sin a chance to redeem his sins, and we use the skill of the devil, but it does not mean that we are subservient to the devil." After receiving the ring, Solomon was able to enslave 72 demon gods as followers of the Lord, and we can also use the demonic skills in the glory of the Lord to spread the gospel of the Lord. Precisely because we have sinned far more than ordinary people, shouldn't we trust the Lord more devoutly and trust Him to lead us to heaven?"

Joshua was very humble, and he was indeed a hardened and devout believer.

However, Carter is not the type that can be redeemed, and Sylbe calls him the Rat King, which means that this man does have the talent to lead, but unfortunately he can only lead the rat in the sewers.

Carter patted Joshua on the shoulder affectionately and said with a smile, "If I were an ordinary person, I would definitely kneel down gratefully and pray for the Lord's forgiveness and deliverance right now." Unfortunately, I'm a wizard, and I don't want the church to save me. You should ask the sorcerers who have been burned at the stake by the Church, who will gladly accept this kind of salvation? No other meaning, after all, you can even put your own holy woman on it when necessary, and use the flame of judgment to 'redeem', then you must be accustomed to this kind of thing. ”

Although Carter's tone is very cordial, like an old friend talking to each other, every sentence is enough to be called a sharp knife into the heart.

But Carter was not wrong, the students present, except for the new generation who had just come into contact with magic in recent years, even if not nobles, their ancestors had been hiding in Tibet during that dark period, and even some of their ancestors were dragged out of their houses by the knights, and died in the so-called purifying flames in the abuse and curses of ordinary people.

Magicians keep their secrets and traditions alive with their blood and glory. The hatred engraved in the blood and marrow of wizards by the Holy See with flames is not something that can be diluted overnight. This is the reason why Carter was very unpopular at school, but when he made a mockery of Joshua, no one stopped him. Hatred and disgust are two different things.

Joshua smiled reluctantly, his face turning a little pale.

Carter added fuel to the fire: "You really should go to the church to be a missionary, why did you come to Merlin School of Magic and Magic to be a wizard? Ah, I remember, your family was also purified by the church with 'flame' a long time ago, right? Your ancestor was tied to the stake, and in order to protect his children and lovers, he used magic to kill all the knights and priests present despite the prohibition of wizards from using magic, and took your great-grandfather to hide in the Americas. Because of this accident, your family was hunted by the church for hundreds of years, until after the Second Industrial Revolution, the church and the wizards reached a reconciliation, but your family is still not allowed to serve the gods. I'm right, right?"

Joshua's face turned blue, this history had been a stain on his family in his opinion, and it was this event that cut off his path to God. However, Joshua was a very resilient man, and even in Merlin College, he still established the Apocalypse Society, striving to spread the teachings of God to the wizards as a non-believer, and to spread the glory of the Lord.

Carter watched Joshua's face change, then glanced around at the crowd of onlookers, and said with a smile, "You're such a bitch." My old man has told me since he was a child that a man must protect his family in this life, because no matter how bastard he is, he will have a family to support him, he is such a half-blood wizard, and he tells me the story of the famous 'blood wizard' George Mill every day, you can't imagine that my old man who can only have 4 spells in his life is lying on his hospital bed and dancing, and he said that is the man in his mind!

Joshua's face turned pale. The surrounding students began to whisper. George Mill, the former Wizards' Guild was once in charge of the world's most wanted dark wizards who used dark magic and leaked magical secrets before being reorganized into the Round Table Council by Merlin. George Mill, the "Blood Wizard", was a wanted man who, in his hometown, defended the ban by using a lethal spell to kill a total of 23 people at the stake, including an ordinary farmer who wanted to hang his wife as a witch with a rope. He was wanted by the Guild for serious violations of the wizarding ban, but at that time, everyone could be identified as a wizard, and any ordinary peasant woman could be dragged out of her house by the knights in the name of the gods and reduced to a pile of ashes on the fire. Then the occasional rumor of magic in a certain village is understandable and overlooked.

So, with the acquiescence of the Society, the "Blood Wizard" George Mill, who was advertised by the Society as the most dangerous wizard of the 17th century, fled to the Americas. Unlike other wanted dark wizards, George Mill's approach resonated with a group of wizards who valued family affection, and for most wizards, the "Blood Wizard" was more of a hero.

"I know what you're here today to do. It's a shame that Your Excellency is definitely not the kind of person who can be easily swayed by your words. He won't believe in your God. You've really disgraced your family and disgraced that hero. Carter was aggressive, and in fact he was always prejudiced against Joshua. "The glory and glory of the family is maintained and maintained by each member, and we will be honored by our family name without the mercy of God. Hurry up and take your followers out of here, your existence is a blasphemy against your agent, he will not listen to your preaching, do you want me to remind you?Your Excellency Fenglong is the initiator of the Sword of Damocles, this one is his agent, and Your Excellency Fenglong is also on the blacklist of the church you yearn for. Instead of thinking about preaching to Your Excellency, you should think about how to tie him up and burn him at the stake? Do you want my help?"

The stake, the church, Carter's way of speaking is very clever, he keeps mentioning these words that can cause disgust among the wizarding students around him, and he also keeps using the deeds of Joshua's ancestors to stimulate Joshua, just to provoke Joshua's own inferiority complex and the hatred of the surrounding students for the Apocalypse.

Joshua's face was blue, and his hand clenched the cross in his pocket in his robe.

"That's enough, Rat King!" a sharp break interrupted Carter, and the corners of Carter's mouth showed a subtle smile, but he didn't let anyone notice, Carter turned his head with a flirtatious expression, just in time to meet Silbe's eyes as he stepped out of the bus.

The student council president's eyes were almost bursting with fire, and his whole body exploded like an angry female dragon.

"The Apocalypse Society is a legal society of the college, and all their activities are protected and supported by the student union as long as they do not violate the rules of the school. The Pure-Blood Brotherhood is also based on this principle, so the Student Council has not interfered with you, and if you interfere with the members of other clubs like this, then I can only cut the club funds of your Pureblood Brotherhood next time, and focus on monitoring you. Sylbe scolded.

Lin Moyang and Green watched the rabbit-like girl get out of the car like the wind, and before they could remind Silbey that the car had not stopped, they had already heard the idol student council president and Carter arguing.

"You can deduct the funds at will, do the men of my Alexander family lack this money? Do the elites of our pure-blood brotherhood lack this money? Dead rabbit! This time you are lucky, I heard that you overturned, and I came to see your jokes, I can't see that you are quite energetic? If it weren't for Your Excellency, I am afraid that your rabbit's life would not be guaranteed." Carter raised his chin and said defiantly.

"Rat King, you bastard! I'm going to duel you now, right now! right now!" Sylbe stomped his foot in anger, not like a threat, but like a little girl's impotent rage.

Just when Lin Moyang felt this scene particularly funny in the car, he was surprised to find that Carter Alexander's face suddenly turned green.

"Oh no...... Rabbit, we are all civilized people, upper-class people, civilized people use words to decide the winner, and barbarians use sticks to solve problems! Don't duel at every turn!" Carter hurriedly waved his hand, and the faces of a group of followers behind him were a little green, and poor Joshua was left aside by Carter, but fortunately, a white-robed female student behind Joshua hurriedly stepped forward to comfort his president.

"Uh...... I had the feeling that Carter was scared of Silbey. But Miss Silbert looks very small. Lin Moyang asked suspiciously.

Green forced a smile, he was also watching the development of the situation just now, although he read a book in the car for a while, he was not tired at all, not even a trace of dark circles under his eyes. "Although Sirbe's nickname is Rabbit, she looks very petite and cute, but she is the top five in the history of the academy's fighting skills, majoring in enhanced magic and elective hand-to-hand combat. Duels were a tradition that existed when the academy was first founded, mainly to settle disputes between wizards, but also to learn the skills of both sides. But Carter: I remember majoring in magic alchemy, and elective in shooting and modern weapon theory. Well...... The rules of the duel do not allow the use of other devices other than wands and spellcasting mediums for the time being. Green patiently explained.

"By the way, they'll definitely fight later, why don't we go to the gladiatorial arena first?" Green's eyes lit up as if he remembered something. "It just so happens that the two of us can also have a discussion, His Excellency Fenglong is rumored to be the No. 1 member of the Cold Weapon Fighting Technique of the Round Table Council, and his agent must also be very accomplished in cold weapons. When he said this, Green's clear eyes looked directly into Lin Moyang's eyes, and his eyes were full of sincerity that was difficult to refuse.

Lin Moyang's heart was cold, and before he could think of how to refuse, he heard Green's voice sound: "Help me and Your Excellency the agent also make an appointment." His tone was full of unbearable excitement and anticipation.

Finished...... Lin Moyang suddenly regretted why his reflex arc was so long......
