Chapter 167: Continuation

President of the Magic Association...... Hearing this name, Chongyang understood why the legendary mage insisted on revealing his identity in person, rather than revealing it to others.

It is now known that the Magic Association is a subsidiary of the Healers Guild, and the President of the Magic Association has actually appeared in the ranks of the allies who are about to attack the Healers' Guild!

Anyway, what is Arast doing here?Chongyang looked at Cranred, but he couldn't tell anything from the latter's face.

Is it to stop the Allies? It's unlikely, and if so, Cranred wouldn't have brought him over.

Even if he suppose he deceived Cranred, what could he do here alone?Chongyang used to only look up when he saw the president of the Magic Society, but now, it is no exaggeration to say that unless Arast has made some drastic improvement compared to then, the magical fire mage can solve him with a single spell.

After bidding farewell to Cranred, Chongyang entered Arast's tent with some curiosity.

On a cushion in the center of the tent sat a long-bearded old man with a wrinkled face and straight eyebrows.

Sensing the arrival, Arast slowly opened his eyes and looked at the face of the black-haired youth.

"The last time we met, it seemed like it just happened yesterday. The old man stared at the young man for a moment, and then smiled slightly, his smile revealing emotion.

"At that time, although I thought you were a very good young man, I didn't expect you to reach such a height in such a short period of time...... If I had known, I should have put more effort into wooing you at that time. ”

Chongyang sat down in front of the old man.

"I haven't forgotten how much the president cared for me as a minor at that time, but I think the president didn't come here to catch up with me. ”

Hearing this, Arast's face slowly turned a little lonely.

"You don't need to call me that, in fact, I'm not the president of the Magic Association now. ”

"Huh?" Chongyang raised his eyebrows slightly.

"After making the decision to follow Cranred here, I broke with the Magical Society. Now all the power, the resources, all the things in my hands have been returned to the association. Now I'm just a magician named Arast Dautaglu. ”

The old man's expression was calm, but there was a look of loss in his expression that could not be concealed. Chongyang didn't interject, just quietly listened to the other party.

"As you should already know, the Magic Guild is basically an affiliate of the Healer's Guild. Over the years, all the scenery on the surface of the Magic Association is actually inseparable from the support of the Healer Guild. The old man said lightly the secret that was very hidden for ordinary people.

"The Healer's Guild has given a lot to the Magic Society, and of course the Association has to pay a reward, or a price. I don't think I need to explain what it is...... All I can say is that it wasn't a good thing, and now that I think about it, I actually regret it......"

“...... Not long ago, the Healers' Guild proposed a deal to the Magic Association for a large number of outstanding young people. Compared to the previous ones, the deadline for this request was very tight and the amount was very high, so there was no other way than to raise money from within the association. ”

"The guild sensed that something was wrong this time, but the benefits promised by the guild for this transaction were also more enticing than ever...... All were shaken in the face of almost irresistible enormous interests. ”

"To meet the requirements of the guild, we can only recruit talents from within the association, but young people are the future of the association, and we cannot afford to lose. Therefore, the association finally decided to put forward two additional conditions to the guild, one is to pay a part of the benefits first, and the other is to ensure the safety of the talents we send. ”

"The Healer's Guild agreed, and even sent that part of the benefits the next day, so we were naturally very happy, and we didn't have any doubts about the guild, so we sent people over. ”

"And after this send-off, the situation is getting more and more wrong - the young people who are sent are the young elite of the association, we have our own special magic to check their survival, and according to this monitoring, the number of people who are still alive is decreasing every day. ”

"The association was shaken again, and then ...... It's messed up. ”

It's messed up.

This word is very simple to say, but at this moment, Chongyang felt the heaviness of Qianjun from the old man's tone.

"The whole association is in chaos...... We can't imagine...... I don't dare to imagine it, I can't accept it...... The consequences of being betrayed by the Healer's Guild...... It's like a gambler who has bet his entire fortune and can't believe that the roulette wheel ends up on a losing square. ”

Arast was a little sarcastic, and even more self-deprecating.

And so...... I've come here, as a remiss and outgoing president, to join the crusade against the forces on which I've always relied to see what's going on. ”

With this sentence, the old man ended his story, and a long silence followed.

Chongyang knew the reason why the other party came here, and he couldn't help but sigh a little in his heart, and at the same time thought of something.

Freya...... Freya Howason, among the young elite sent by your association?"

The beautiful girl with bewitching purple hair came to Chongyang's mind.

Arras nodded in confirmation.

Seeing the change in the face of the magical fire mage, the former president of the Magic Association added: "According to the monitoring of the association, that child is still alive now. ”

"Are you still alive......" Chongyang's mood was a little complicated, and he didn't know what the expression on his face was now.

Freya is just his former rival, and the relationship between the two is not good, it can be said that it is very poor, and they are not even friends. However, the girl's pride and stubbornness impressed him, and after what happened, she helped him in some things, even if she looked resentful.

Maybe they can become friends - Chongyang had vaguely such thoughts at that time, but what happened later made him forget about this girl and everything related to it.

is still the same sentence, obviously looking at the time is not very long, but it seems to be a lifetime of past.

After the conversation with Arast, Chongyang left the tent.

On the way back to the fleet, instead of thinking about the upcoming battle, he fell into a memory, deeply recalling the first time when the Fire Demon had just appeared and brought a drastic change to his life.

When the family learned that they wanted money, they sent Zhuoyang to bring the money to the imperial capital, so Zhuoyang met the woman he loved, so he wanted to fight a duel with someone, and he helped him, and at the same time met Elder Richard.

After that, it turned out that he was going to duel Freya, and after gambling his dignity and life, he finally won, and he left an indelible damage on the girl.

Although there was no need to feel guilty about the situation at that time, but now that I think about it, I may have gone a little too far.

Elder Richard, who was his grandfather, said that a defeat was not necessarily a bad thing for Freya, and that the duel between him and her would eventually become a legend.

If they can continue to develop more normally from then on, maybe one day they will become excellent rivals and friends with Freya, just like Cranred and Arast, competing with each other, growing together, and becoming legends together, and finally the two of them stand in Prisland College to reminisce about the past and put the past into laughter.

It should have been like this, and so should Elder Richard's "a duel that will eventually become a legend."

However, the reality did not develop like that, but from that time on, as if it had deviated from some track, in an increasingly unbelievable way, it developed into what it is today.

Sun is killed, Frilian becomes a lonely mother, and Freya is sent to the Healer's Guild, where she is about to lead an allied army from the United Kingdoms against it......

When Chongyang thought of this, a possibility involuntarily flooded into his mind, which made him stop, and in the vast wind and sand, he looked a little stunned.

If Freya is chosen by the Healer's Guild...... If the Allies don't have time to stop the guild...... If that girl becomes the ultimate battle force of the entire guild......

"It will eventually become a legendary duel...... ...... Is it?"

Chongyang's eyes flashed with a complex light, and he looked up in the distance, in the direction where the courtyard of the dead was located.

An indescribable feeling surged in his chest, absurd, funny, coincidental, fate, reality, life...... It was as if countless questions were generated at once, but I didn't know where to start.

"What are you doing stupidly here?" came a confused voice.

Chongyang woke up and looked around, only to see a blonde puppet master who hadn't shown up for a while.

The flame demon's expression was very calm, looking at the black-haired youth.

"Master......"

"Huh?"

"Do you remember the girl named Freya?"

"Freya?" the Firedemon frowned, "a little impressed...... It seems that I just started teaching you the little girl you defeated for the first time in actual combat when you used elemental armament for the first time, right?"

"It was her, she was sent to the Healers' Guild to serve as a sample. ”

"Oh, that's right. ”

"I'm wondering if she will be forcibly transformed and mutated by the guild to become a demigod...... Even god-level mages ......"

"There is this possibility, I remember that the girl's qualifications are still good. ”

"If that happens, I'll have to fight her again...... No, it's a duel, because no one else can deal with a mutated god-level existence except me. ”

"That's right, it's your responsibility. ”

"When that time comes...... What should I do?"

"What to do? Just beat her again. ”

"But this time it's different. Chongyang said in a sullen voice, "She was innocently involved, and I don't want to hurt her." ”

In the vast wind and sand, there was silence.

"There are millions of people behind you, and you can't be a bad guy or a playboy who pities you. The flame demon said flatly, "Besides, I entered the guild and became a sample and was transformed...... It can be assumed that she is dead, and that she is just a monster or a tool alive. ”

Chongyang did not react.

"If you can't convince yourself in this way, then I can only hope that you don't find yourself in the situation you imagined, or cruelly, this is something you have to face and you can't avoid it. ”

The Firedemon threw down one last sentence and turned to leave.

“...... Just like me, I can't escape ...... anymore."

In the whistling sound of the wind and sand, the black-haired youth seemed to faintly hear the faint but determined murmur of the blonde puppet.
