Chapter 56: Planning a Counterattack
You want to spread the word about magic, Dean Mox. ”
"Yes, but it was a lot harder to implement than I thought. In the past few years, it can be said that I have poured all my heart and soul into the Academy of Magic, and it is not bad to have the current scale and results. But it was all based on an agreement between me and the Empire that allowed the Academy of Magic to grow so smoothly. ”
"Protocol?" Alan was a little surprised to hear this, for the Academy of Magic, these things were not something that an ordinary apprentice could know.
"You're about to graduate, so it doesn't hurt to tell you, the content of the agreement is that the Academy of Magic will train magicians in batches for the empire, and the positioning is the same as that of the Knight Academy, and the talents cultivated will all serve the empire. After saying this, Fox took a puff of his cigarette, sighed, and continued:
"These are all contrary to my original intention of establishing the Academy of Magic, but I have no other choice, for the development of the Academy of Magic, I can only compromise, all I can get is the first batch of students of the Academy of Magic, as long as I do one thing for the Empire, I can choose what path to take, whether it is to be a free magician, or choose to serve the Empire. So Alan, you're lucky. ”
Alan was obviously unprepared for these words, and he couldn't react for a while.
Looks at the dazed Allen, realizing that now is not the best time to tell him this, and shakes his head to change the subject:
"Don't go out and publicize this matter first, not many people know about it at the moment, I originally wanted you to talk about it when you complete your graduation task, but you see, it has been bothering me for too long, hahaha, you call me old man in private, right?"
Alan was a little embarrassed by Kerks, but he didn't expect to know what Quex was called in private.
"Well, actually..."
"It doesn't matter, when people are old, they are old, birth, old age, sickness and death are the reincarnation of this world, there is no immortality, and there is no immortality, but with magic, you can pass on some will, and the will that belongs to the real magician will not be bound. ”
With Allen's current experience, he was not enough to understand what Quex said, but he could hear the unwillingness and loneliness in the heart of the old man in front of him, but he, a small magic student, couldn't think of anything to say to comfort the dean of the Academy of Magic, so he could only stand there dumbfounded.
"Alan, go back and prepare, don't let me down, remember, when you walk out of the gate of the Academy of Magic, you represent the entire Academy of Magic, and represent the will of magic. ”
Alan walked out of Dean Nexus's room, and although he didn't understand Kerx's words, he clenched his fists and told himself that he must not let Kerrs down.
After returning to the dormitory, Elvis did not sleep, apparently waiting for Alan.
Said to be packing things, in fact, the boy has nothing to prepare, the magician is naturally inseparable from the magic crystal, Elvis has already used the magic array in the laboratory to complete the charge of the magic crystal, and at the same time several of Allen's crystals are also ready. Although the land of Nanshan is not inhabited, but before the game, each team will make some supplies, dry food and water naturally do not have to worry, so Alan has nothing special to bring, and at the end, Alan caught a glimpse of the strange stone that was thrown aside before, walked over and picked it up, and tried to urge the stone with his mind, as before, there was still no response. Alan hesitated, but put the odd stone in his satchel.
Packed up, Alan thought, to tell Elvis about Arman before he left, and to break the deadlock between the two men.
"El, there's something I want to tell you. ”
"Well, I'm just going to tell you something, so let's talk about it first. ”
Elvis opened a bottle of rum, which he was usually the most reluctant to make, the best rum made by his family. The two of them exchanged drinks, and Alan spoke:
"Since the last time we sneaked into the Knight Academy auditorium and were smashed by someone, a lot of dangerous things have happened, the night leopard in the suburbs, the scar man in the tavern, don't you think it's strange?"
Elvis listened to Allen's words, his eyes widened and he became interested, he also felt strange before, but he didn't think about it deeply, listening to Allen, he must have known something.
"Let me say it bluntly, all of this is Arman's ghost, and most of the Night Leopard incident was arranged by him, so you" Brother Leopard "will appear in the suburban forest, and the scar man who made trouble in the tavern is also going for us, and the tavern owner has more reliable information, and the person who instructed them is a relatively wealthy person with a southern accent, a southerner who has some grievances with us, and a certain amount of power in the family, only Arman is the only one. ”
Elvis's reaction was the same as Allen's when he first found out about it, and he was not very surprised, he was a big man on the surface, but when it came to key things, he was the kind of person who was observant and calm.
"I did have some doubts about what you said, but after you say so, I can basically be convinced. It is said that Arman will also go to the event in Namsan this time, so it seems that we should be careful. But I'm sure I'm not going to let this bastard go, and if he provokes me again and again, then he'll be dead. Elvis' expression was very firm when he said these words, Alan would persuade him not to cause trouble before, but what this Arman did had touched Allen's bottom line, and what Elvis said was also what he thought in his heart, Alan thought for a while and continued:
"No matter what he does or doesn't do this time, we won't spare him easily, but we have to pay attention to the observers on the team, don't make a big deal and cause any trouble, lest we drag the old man into the water again, and we can't affect others. ”
Elvis listened and nodded.
"By the way, what are you going to say?"
"What I'm going to say, in fact, is also this matter, you stopped me during the day, and there was some unhappiness between our brothers because of this, but after listening to what you said, I don't need to say anything more, this time I want to give him a lesson that he will remember for a lifetime, let him know that Lao Tzu is not so easy to provoke. ”
Although Alan also wants to teach Arman a lesson, looking at Elvis's posture, he is still afraid that he will make things too big and cause deaths. However, I really can't swallow this breath, and it is certain to teach Arman a lesson, but I will have to weigh it up at that time, and don't let Elvis be too impulsive.
The two drank for a while, and then went to sleep.
There was silence in the night, and the dark clouds over Boulder City were suppressed, and behind the dark clouds, it seemed that one conspiracy after another was quietly coming.
The pouring rain washed away the vicissitudes and stains of the boulder city, but can the sins buried in this city be washed away?
