Chapter 24: The Footsteps of War
Solidar College.
"Hoo ......"
Alison sat on the ground panting. Two friends who were temporary guest doctors were busy splinting her arm: she was the most injured of all the challengers with a broken arm. On the other hand, she was also the only one of all the challengers who managed to hit the girl with a punch. After Alison, Ryan, who appeared last, had no intention of fighting. The lazy boy symbolically fought with the girl for a few rounds, and then neatly "surrendered", which drew boos from the audience.
In addition to top-notch strength and speed, the endurance of the girl's body is beyond the imagination of these students. After experiencing a wheel battle with ten people, she didn't breathe anymore, and seemed to be only sweating slightly......?
Lin Na, who controlled the girl's body, looked unsatisfied. He enjoyed the awe-inspiring glances from his students—and a few of them resented.
[Isn't it too much?] The girl regretted not forcibly taking over her body in Allison's battle. What's the point of breaking a student's bones?
[No problem.] Lin Na didn't take the possible consequences to heart at all.
The students were hesitant to continue the challenge. Even if you beat an opponent who is tired from continuous battles, they don't have a lot of shine on their faces, and if they can't win, it's even more humiliating.
Not to mention, there stood an Imperial man who seemed to be equal in strength in the back......
Someone looked at several instructors present. But the instructors were as if they didn't see anything, just stayed where they were, pretending to talk about lunch.
Suddenly......
The distant and loud sound of the bell echoes in the campus.
……
Goth had just finished his morning's work, and hurried to the place where the girl was.
"I remember that the bells of the bell tower were not like this." Goth frowned and looked up at the sky.
"No," President Wendy blinked, a look of confusion, "it's like a spell of some kind...... It should only be ...... at the beginning and graduation ceremonies, when the whole school is concentrated."
……
"Oh?" Fran, who was hidden behind the crowd and watched the girl compete with the students, turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from, "This bell is ...... At least an illusion cast by a blue ocean level mage? But why ......?"
……
"Students."
The twelve short bells were over, and when everyone—even those in their sleep—had been drawn to the bells, an old voice rang out in every corner of the campus.
"It's the headmaster." Wendy, Roy and other students who have had more contact with the Lord of the Galaxy remembered the identity of the old man at the first time. And many more students have only heard the principal's lecture at major ceremonies, and they are not aware of who is speaking.
"I'm your headmaster, François? Solidar. I beg your pardon for disturbing you on this sunny afternoon, but I hope you will do my bidding. ”
"Headmaster."
"The Great 'Lord of the Galaxy'."
The students looked excited. Don't look at what the headmaster said politely...... legendary mage like the "Lord of the Galaxy" has supreme authority even if he speaks casually.
"All students, please return to your dormitories immediately. Teachers and staff are invited to come to the auditorium. If it is inconvenient for those outside the school to leave immediately, the school cafeteria, student lounge and hotel will be open to everyone free of charge. We will post further notices soon. Hope it didn't disrupt your lunch. ”
The words of the "Lord of the Galaxy" are short. The whole school was delayed for a few seconds, and then there was a huge uproar.
Orders like this are not uncommon in the academy, and any Qingkong-level mage who has some experimental accident will be enough for those people to be busy for a while. But the venerable legendary mage personally made a guest appearance as an "announcer" to speak to everyone, and something big must have happened.
No one guessed what kind of prank this was: not to mention that it was a "technical job" to make the sound sound evenly resounding throughout the school at the same time, offending the legendary mage, and few people could afford to make such jokes.
"Victoria!" Goth ran towards where the maiden was, his neat brown hair blown toasted.
Obviously reminded me again and again to keep quiet, the young businessman thought with a headache. In the blink of an eye, he ran to cause trouble......
"Why don't you stop ......," he grumbled at Dimi. The rumored Dimitea? Isn't Prince Grexia a gentle and dignified man......?
"I'm sorry." Dimi was a little embarrassed, he couldn't say anything, watching the girl mess around, he himself enjoyed it, right?
"Looks like the school is in trouble." The girl said. Her mind is full of the "broadcasts" of the Lord of the Stars. Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to be coming for himself or Goth.
"Let's go to the cafeteria first." Goth said in a low voice.
Ignoring the puzzled gazes of many people around you ("What? It turns out that these two people were brought by this kid? Gothra led the two out of the crowd.
Then Goth sadly discovers that because of the huge gap between their strengths, objectively they can only be dragged along......
"Ah," said the girl, pretending not to be aware of Goth's embarrassment, "you will lead the way." ”
------------
In the principal's room, the two white-robed mages sat opposite each other.
"Won't you let Cliff come back?" Stewart, the Supreme Archon of the Pure White City, asked. Usually informing students is the responsibility of the young Vice Principal Cliff.
"He will remain in the Empire and continue to be in charge of liaison with the Empire." The Lord of the Galaxy took a rare look at his pipe, spitting out a gray smoke ring.
"He's going to be angry."
"He has matured more after the aftermath of the 'Emperor of the Eternal Night,'" said the Lord of the Stars, "and he knows what he should do. ”
"At this juncture," Stewart gritted his teeth, "Forget if the old guy can't be contacted, what about the others in Sham?" ”
The Council of High Mages of Erios has a total of four members: Vane, the Lord of the Blue Sky, Chief Mage and Speaker; François, the famous "Lord of the Stars" who is known for his gentle personality; It is said that he is over 120 years old and acts mysteriously as the "Lord of the Fog"; and the newly promoted Blue Ocean mage a few years ago, the youngest of the four, the "Lord of the Cloud Wing" Sham.
The "Fog Hidden" had not appeared for too long, and only some people began to suspect that the old legendary mage was dead. The Lord of the Galaxy and Stewart knew that this man was still alive, but they didn't want to cross paths with other legendary mages. And the "Lord of Yunyong" Sham, who is usually obsessed with his research on ancient ruins in various places on the mainland, is nowhere to be found at this time.
"If we really fall into a crisis, 'Mist' will appear, and she won't abandon us," the Lord of the Galaxy said in a deep voice, "and 'Yun Yong'...... Sham is now in a ruin in Okad, and I have informed him that he does not need to return to the White City. Here, you and I can do it. ”
"If it's the Lord of the Blue Sky...... Chief Vane is still there," Stewart shook his head, "how dare Nicholas be so arrogant." ”
"The Chief's disappearance," said the Lord of the Galaxy, "we will reveal the truth sooner or later. But for now, we must keep it a secret and focus on the defense of the French state. ”
If someone heard the conversation between the two, they would be surprised.
The original number one powerhouse of the French Power Country, the chief legendary mage who can be called the Optimus Prime, the "Lord of the Blue Sky" Van En, turned out to be missing.
Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, Stewart, who has been trapped in the high-level limit of the blue ocean for many years, finally broke through not long ago and became a legendary mage. Okade was eyeing Stewart's breakthrough and not being made public, and even a new title was not decided.
And the supreme leader of the French State, Fan En, the Lord of the Blue Sky, has been missing for several months, and the number of people in the French Power Kingdom who knows this news is not more than a hand. Vane Shenlong saw the head and the tail, and rarely appeared in public, which made it easier for the Lord of the Galaxy and Stewart to cover up the truth. Sometimes, they themselves will appear in the form of the Lord of the Blue Sky, disguised as he is still there.
"I don't believe Nicholas alone can defeat the Chief, but if Nicholas preemptively announces the Chief's death, we have to plan for it," Stewart said, "to prevent the morale of the army from collapsing." And ......"
He hesitated to continue. Not far away, the frost phoenix crouched in the silver birdcage let out a crisp cry.
"Don't shy away from it, Stewart. I also doubt that Palamedes was involved, so I wouldn't let him and his disciples perceive anything. But remember, if there really is an inner ghost among us, 'Wu Yin' and 'Yun Yong', even you and I can't get rid of suspicion. The Lord of the Galaxy said, brushing his white beard.
