In the middle of the dense deciduous forest lies a castle that looks hundreds of years old, occupies a large area and has a Gothic roof.

Only the central main fort has a dome, and despite all these years, the walls remain intact. The outer walls were covered with ivy, and its limbs were like a giant green spider's web that tightly surrounded the castle.

The castle is very tall, there are four floors, each floor is almost more than ten meters high, except for the ground floor, the other floors are almost all designed with large floor-to-ceiling windows, but all of them are curtained, only a faint red and yellow light can be seen from the inside. The whole form blends in with the darkness.

The bleak moonlight of the night spreads on the ground, making the dew on the flowers especially visible after the rain.

It was a strong wind, and all the leaves of the trees on the side of the trail had fallen due to the season, so that there was nothing to shelter and weaken the wind, causing it to be blown left and right to make a creaking noise, like an eighty-year-old man who could not stand on his feet under the strong wind, and from time to time stumbling really made people feel like they were about to fall.

Lin Tangzhen walked along the way, looking at this lifeless path, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, "I really still feel very disgusted with an organization like the Demon Wizard Society, I always make the environment I am in a pitch black and smoky miasma, as if the people I see are not stunned, it is the greatest disrespect for them" Huo Jingxing on the side smiled and smiled.

"What you see outside here is pretty good, this is your first time in contact with the Wizard Society, don't wander around when you enter the castle, we both have to die here if we see things we shouldn't see." Lin Tangzhen deliberately emphasized the tone, the purpose was to warn Huo Jingxing not to lose his judgment on the strength of others just because his ability had improved.

It was the incident a few days ago, Kuang Jinan followed Lin Tangzhen out to negotiate, but who would have thought that this Huo Jingxing was rampant after evolution and transformation, and he had no sense of respect for the leader of the other party at all, and did not take the other party in his eyes, which led to the breakdown of the negotiations.

"You think, someone else is also the leader of thousands of people under his command, and besides, your strength is not as good as his, and you disrespect him so much, but fortunately, his strength is good.

If it were me, I would have let you die more than a thousand times, this time you can remember my words well, don't cause trouble, this is not a place that ordinary people can understand, if you cause trouble, we will both die in Huangquan!" Lin Tangzhen suddenly stared at Huo Jingxing with a serious face, as if he was apprehensive about the incident last time.

"This.... I didn't mean it, who knew that little boss would be provoked so easily, and didn't you tell me before to provoke the other party during the negotiation?" Huo Jingxing showed an innocent expression.

"I asked you to provoke the other party, but I didn't ask you to greet other people's whole family. No matter how bad his strength is, you don't want to involve his family... This hurts self-esteem a lot," Lin Tangzhen turned his head, pushed his glasses, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward.

The two of them quickly walked ten meters outside the gate of the ancient castle, which was not guarded, but the two of them could no longer take a step inside, as if a kind of barrier had been set up, which could isolate the creatures from the outside world from stepping into this field. "Don't look at this group of superstitious cult people, it's disgusting, the enchantment technique is a must. ”

Huo Jingxing picked up the branch on the ground and stretched it out to the transparent front, a purple air wave bounced out, and at the same time burned the branch to ashes, Huo Jingxing sat on the ground and scratched his head, "It's so dangerous, I almost died." ”

"It's a secret technique, and only the people of the Wizarding Society know how to use it. Lin Tangzhen slowly raised his hands. "Thank you, you're coming out to pick up a guest, our subordinates who are suitable for Ikaki are here to negotiate today. ”

"Purpose!" a distant voice pierced through the barrier.

"It's convenient for us to come in and talk about it? It's okay to have a sip of tea, this matter is not good to talk about outside, and it can't be known by outsiders. Lin Tangzhen turned his head and searched for information everywhere he could see.

"Come in, the barrier has been removed. ”

With that, the purple enchantment cover was slowly lifted from the feet of the two of them, like lifting the lid of a pot, and it stopped when it was high enough for the two of them to walk together, and as soon as the two walked in, the enchantment closed again.

"It's really a disappointment, and you know that our Wizard Society has always done it, and this is also done so that it won't be discovered by those old guys from the Magical Association. ”

"Understanding"

At this time, a member of the Wizarding Society came down and led the two into the castle.

The interior of this room is a sight to behold. The floor is made of elm and covered with a white carpet, so if it weren't for the plush touch, it would feel like stepping on a piece of snow. The hall is illuminated by huge crystal chandeliers, and in the center of the hall there is a ten-meter-long coffee table and two leather sofas that can sleep seven or eight people.

All the walls are made of gray bricks, and there is a corridor lined with artwork on either side of the wall. The two of them continued to walk, and the lamps in front of them lit up one by one, as if they smelled the smell of their master, and in a light they walked to a large painting, which was four meters high and three meters wide.

The content of it is a man covered in tatters on an abandoned field, holding a hoe in his hand, and a child standing next to him to help plant seedlings, and the overall painting style gives people a bleak feeling. Ji Lin had also seen such a desolate scenery, and he couldn't help but shudder.

The man pushed the sculpture on the side of the frame, but the painting began to shake, and then the wall in front of him receded, opening a dark staircase, and the two walked in, which was a spiral stone staircase.

I thought that what I saw above was all that was in the castle, but I never thought that it was just a rarity, and the walls on the side of the stone spiral staircase were regularly marked with many large openings, and in those large mouths were placed oil lamps with dim lights.

After walking for a long time, I saw the first secret room, and with the permission of the members, Huo Jingxing dared to open the door to see, but I didn't expect that behind this small wooden door was a room that could not be seen in the corner, which was full of bookshelves everywhere, and there was a counter on the left hand side of the entrance, where three people were sitting and reading books. The member spoke, "This is our academy of the Wizarding Society, and it has all the books and knowledge in it. Let's hurry up, staying here for a long time won't do you two any good, to learn what is here, it's useless to rely on your own talent and hard work..."

"Little brother, what do you mean.... I seem to have heard something in your words," Lin Tangzhen asked very curiously.

"If you want to learn what is in this academy, you have to sacrifice to the cult master."

"Sacrifice?"

"I want to dedicate my heart to the cult lord," the member said, and then he lifted his robe and put the corner of his coat, and at this time, the two of them looked at their facial expressions with mixed tastes, not a taste. Looking at the hollow chest, the two couldn't help but shiver a little. "Is it still alive if the heart is taken away?"

"That's not what you're supposed to be in, I'm probably a dead man. ”

"Won't the absence of a heart affect your movements?"

"It will only be us low-level members who will be taken from the heart, as long as you become a cadre, the cult master will give you a gift - the heart of evil blood. It was the heart that had been blessed by the cult lords, full of power, and also pinned on the great hopes of the cult lords. Looking at the members' expressions, it seemed that they were very eager for the kind of heart he was talking about, and their expressions were intoxicated.

"Then you cult masters are really 'special'," Huo Jingxing said lightly.

After walking for a while, I arrived at the living room, where the lights were much brighter than those in the corridor, which should be needed for discussion among guests. This room is not very large, a standard living room three-piece suit, and at this time a silver-haired man came and sat opposite the two. "Hello. ”

"I've been in contact with your superiors before, so I won't talk much nonsense about the rest."

"Okay, please," the silver-haired man held out his hand and shook in agreement.

"Now is a good opportunity to bring down Yake City," Lin Tangzhen said briefly.

"Why?"

"The defense of the border area of Jaco City is still very weak, and their current focus is on our leader, Ikari Kiri, the older generation of those governments still think that Ikari Kirichi is just for revenge, but just a few days ago we signed a short truce with Jaco City, and we took some funds and materials from Jaco City to upgrade our armaments. ”

"Do you know why Kirizu Ikari betrayed Jaco Castle?"

"It's your family business, I don't think I know. The silver-haired man shook his head.

"At the beginning, Yake City was not as peaceful as it is now, in order to compete for official positions, government officials killed each other, and Kirichi Ikagi's father was originally the mayor of Yako City, and he was more than 10,000 people. However, those big families colluded with each other, and the Ikari family had no family history, so their family was brutally killed. He watched as the officials hacked his father to death with knives. The more Lin Tangzhen spoke, the more he seemed to fall into it, and slammed his fist on the coffee table.

"I know all the bullshit and disgusting things in Jaco City. So those old immortals still think that Ikari Kirigo is still in hatred for attacking Yaco City?" the silver-haired man beckoned to the members behind him.

"That's right. Is Ikagi's ambition only as simple as revenge? Revenge is inevitable, but his main purpose is to take the Devouring Blade sealed by the Paranormal Association in Jaco City!"

As soon as he heard those four words, the silver-haired man stood up like a catapult, "What! The Devouring Blade that sealed Heshuwen is in Jaco City?"

"There will be no mistake, we have a lot of eyeliner in Jaco City, and we must not be wrong with more than ten years of exploration and collection. And the fluctuation of the supernatural airflow of Jaco City is also unusually huge, isn't it? Ikari is planning to get the Devouring Blade and liberate Heshuwen, so that the people of this world can once again experience what the endless fear of the void is!"

"So, to put it bluntly, Ikaki Kirichi just wants to use Heshuwen's hand to regain his rule over the whole world?" the silver-haired man took a sip of tea from the plate brought by his hand.

The subordinate placed the remaining twice in front of the two of them, "Please use it slowly"

"That's right. He wants not only to rule over the whole world, but also to overthrow the existing filthy system in this whole world, and to create a pure land of peace. Lin Tangzhen said indignantly.

"It's really unreasonable to borrow a knife to kill people. The silver-haired man couldn't help but curse in his heart: "Another layman who wants to seize power through peaceful words." ”

"I know what you are thinking now, isn't the system of the whole world chaotic enough? The peace that exists now is just an illusion, you don't know how serious the social hierarchy is, the poor only deserve to live in the dilapidated houses in the border areas, and as long as there are those big families and nobles, they will never be able to turn over, because all the way to turn over will be blocked by these people. I've experienced this feeling," said Lin Tangzhen's face flushed

"I used to do research and development in the thirty-third district of Yake City, that is, the scientific research area, and I can obviously become the most successful person, because of my background, those nobles and great families have repeatedly seized my scientific research results. Forget it, if I dare to resist them, they will threaten me with my family, do you know how embarrassed I was at that time?"

"On one side is my life's work of scientific research, and on the other side is my family. But it didn't take long for me to have no choice, my family was in trouble, they didn't have the patience to play with me anymore, and they just caused an accident in order to get my research. When I went home, my house had been burned to the ground, can you imagine yourself looking at the blackened shells that were burned to the ground, and those were your favorite wife and children..."Lin Tangzhen said, the expression on his face became even more angry.

"It's not just me, I've seen a lot of people happen to them. But we can't help it, those big families are so shameless. That's why I'm going to help Ikari Kichi, and when we rule the whole world, we must ban this damn great family system. The right to gang up and handle until the end is always the injured individual who has no help!"

The silver-haired man stood up and patted Lin Tangzhen on the shoulder, "I can't talk about cooperating with you now, after all, I am not the leader of the organization, but I have some rights to add some mid-level magisters to you." Your plan will be well thought of."

It is true that the silver-haired man was infected by Lin Tangzhen's emotions, at this time, he didn't know why he hated the system of this great family, but as the senior leader of the organization, he had to suppress this emotion, if he decisively ventured in, he would definitely fall into the trap of others, no matter how serious Lin Tangzhen was to explain to him, after all, there is no one in this world who can be absolutely believed.

"If what he said is true, it can only prove that they are just a group of people for their own selfish interests, they must be waiting for themselves to join, and when the time comes, they will not be able to get out, and they will definitely be wiped out with our organization.

I believe that Ikari has this ability, he is not at his peak now, what is this cunning fox planning, and sending him some men at this time is the most correct choice.

First, he can prove that he believes his words and intends to join them. Second, let these people sent to inquire about their specific plans, and if there are discrepancies, they will be surrounded and suppressed immediately, while Ikaki has not fully recovered. The silver-haired man analyzed carefully.

"Well, we can be regarded as having reached a sense of cooperation, whether we can proceed to the next step depends on your sincerity," Lin Tangzhen got up and said.

"Okay, I'll think about it, send it off!"

.....

Returning to the trail again, when he couldn't see the ancient castle behind him, Lin Tangzhen couldn't help but clench his fists and waved it ahead, "Sure enough, he is a cautious person," and then he showed a wicked smile.

————————

In the assembly hall of the High School Academy, the students sat in an orderly manner, and there were three people standing on the high platform in front of them, among which the person standing in the middle was the dean of the High School - Feng Zhenghao, wearing a white suit, a beard, and a big back comb, but the color of his hair had become pale with his age, but he still looked very energetic. The two people on the side are also the vice presidents of the Higher Academy, Vice President Luo and Vice President Zhan.

The three of them looked at the seats below and saw that they were almost full, and only after each class had finished reporting on the situation of the people in the class did they start to speak. First knocked on the microphone, "Bang Bang" and then the three of them sat down.

"The reason for calling everyone back today must be known to everyone, social practice is a very important thing for every student, and he has a good auxiliary role in improving the student's own quality and strength. This year, the time of the qualification examination has been changed, and the time of the assessment is in early April every year.

In addition, the students who have recently participated in the government patrol mission have temporarily suspended your trip, I think everyone knows what happened yesterday, and in consideration of your personal safety, our school board has decided to stop the government mission. ”

After the dean finished speaking, the three of them discussed a few words softly, and at this time, Vice President Luo, who was sitting on the left hand side of the dean, took over the microphone. "Okay students, everyone should have heard what Dean Feng said just now. I would like to emphasize some things next, and students should listen carefully, these things are related to your future. Deputy Luo pushed the glasses frame on the bridge of his nose and paused

"If you want to participate in the qualification assessment this year, you can come to my office to register after the meeting, and then there are new students, your final assessment time is set at the end of March next year, which is very close to the qualification assessment, which is conducive to ensuring that you are in good condition. "That's all I have to say.

At this time, the microphone was pushed in front of the deputy dean again, his face looked extremely fierce, his body was much stronger than the other two deans, and his voice was also rough and fatal. He looked at the students below who were still talking to each other, and cleared his throat. "Okay, you can discuss these things privately."

Just as he said this, the student seemed to feel the invisible coercion, and he was silent for an instant. "Dean Zhan is really terrifying...", a girl at the bottom said in a very soft voice.

"The warlord has participated in a lot of wars, and it seems that one of the nerves was damaged due to a heavy blow to the head in the war, so he became facial paralysis, and he never laughed once..."

"In this way, no wonder there is such a big aura, the three deans are really three wonderful, the difference is so obvious..."

At this time, the deputy academy of war said, "Considering that some of your students need to improve their strength, we have decided to open all the training halls, including the top three physical fitness halls of the students, starting from tomorrow and the qualification assessment. As for usage and other things, I won't go into too much detail. Clear?"

I don't know why, at this time, the students in the audience subconsciously replied together, "It's clear", and the two people sitting on the edge of the war vice courtyard couldn't cry or laugh. "Old Zhan, you are occasionally gentle with students."

"These students are the most naughty at this age, and they must be taught harshly."

———————— the Office of the President

Deputy Courtyard Zhan was pacing back and forth in the office, and Deputy Courtyard Luo was rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the office. Feng Zhenghao sat behind the sandalwood desk, "Oh, can you stop dangling, my eyes are going to be spent." Then the government requires us to have no choice" turned his head and said to Deputy Yuan Luo, "Oh, don't you turn upside down, what are you looking for?"

"I saw someone bring you a box of good tea last time, where did you put it?"

"Isn't this why you come to my office for two days to rub tea, and you don't even have tea residues? Drink it every day, and you can't drink any taste? It's good tea, do you know what good tea is? Then you have to taste it carefully, what about you two? Just made it for you, you are not even afraid of hot mouths, drink old soju, and give me a sip of stuffy. ”

"Don't you be thirsty, every day is a meeting here and there"

"Meeting, are you two busy with me?"

"No matter how busy you are, no matter how powerful you are, I saved your life, you still have to call me a life-saving benefactor, I am still one level older than you" The deputy court said lightly at this time, and at this time he sat down. "If it weren't for saving you, my face would be paralyzed?"

"Hey, that's for you. Why do you talk about saving me every day, did I offend you somewhere, it was more than 40 years ago, how do you remember living like this, did you take pictures and record them at that time or write a diary? Feng Zhenghao smashed his leg on the desk and lifted his trouser legs, "Look at the injury on this leg, if it wasn't for rushing to the first battlefield to support you, my leg would have been wasted by the group of guys in the Demon Guidance Society?"

"Come, look at me..."This Deputy Courtyard Luo was about to pick up his clothes, and the Deputy Courtyard of War and Feng Zhenghao stopped, "Come on, you, when you fell a hole in your waist when you were a child, you have to compare with me, are we comparing injuries?

"Cut! What do you look for?" Luo said, rummaging through the cabinet, and finally found a bag of tea in the drawer at the foot of the desk, "and said no, why are you so picky?"

"I slam the door?."

The dean's office is actually connected to the teacher's office, all located on the same floor, and the teachers outside are worried when they hear it, "The three old men are arguing again?"

"Not really!"

Teachers, you look at me, I see that you are all gone, and you can't cry or laugh. "It's really three wonderful! I'm a lot older, why are I still like a child?"
