In the year 1664, a full 1,674 years had passed since the Terrans left the ground. Before that, there was a dark and helpless history. The Terrans struggled to survive in the chaotic and turbulent tide of magic, and the excess magic power invaded the human body like a virus. In the end, even the earth could not withstand the violent movement of the demon tide, and pieces of land were carried to the sky by the magic power, becoming the last place of survival of the human race, [Cloud World].

From the earliest records of the Terrans, the world has been named the "Wheel of Magic". Magic is embedded in all things in the world, changing all the time, but it is also eternal. It brings half the catastrophe of the demon tide, but it can make the human race prosperous.

Nowadays, magic has become an indispensable energy in everyone's life. It is even more important than air, a person can hold his breath for more than thirty seconds, but without magic, he cannot survive in the cloud world for more than ten seconds. Therefore, this reporter will solemnly introduce the First Academy of the Ronaka Empire......

"Drop. The boy who slept like a dead octopus on the couch fumbled with the remote control that had fallen to the floor, and then turned off the TV with the speed of an amputee.

After that, he fell into a deep sleep......

It's impossible.

Although Chi Huan's heart had already wanted to go into hibernation a hundred times, considering today's visitor, he still struggled to get up, walked to the bathroom in the way of a zombie, and then turned on the faucet and threw himself into the bathtub. He didn't adjust the temperature, and the water was bone-chilling. It's autumn in Ronaka City, and the air has already brought a slight chill, and it's already incredible that Chi Huan didn't wake up from the cold when he slept without a quilt, and now he actually took a cold shower. If this is put within the standards of ordinary people, this kind of behavior is looking for death.

However, Chi Huan is not an ordinary person.

"Meow. Just as Chi Huan was about to sleep in the bathtub, he heard a cat meow from outside the bathroom door, followed by the unbearable screeching noise of the cat's paws scratching at the door.

The confused boy was stimulated by the noise, sobered up a lot, and shouted, "Okay, Xiaohei, I'm already awake." I was afraid that the cat owner was still in a bad mood, so Chi Huan also added: "Someone will bring food today, I promise it's a big meal." ”

There was no movement outside the door, not even the sound of the bell.

Chi Huan endured sleepiness and freshened himself, and when he came back to the living room, he found that the cat owner had fallen asleep on the sofa. He cautiously leaned over and touched the black cat's head, not daring to wake it up at all. This cat is a Bombay cat with an all-black body, and the golden bell hanging around his neck was specially selected by Chi Huan, and he also searched for a long time to find a bell with the same pupil color as Xiao Hei.

Touching and touching, the fool cat slave of the cat owner said that he especially wanted to hug, so he stretched out his claws to the lump on the top of the refrigerator.

"Rhubarb, why are you fat again, could it be that you really robbed Xiao Hei's cat food......" Chi Huan hugged the big yellow cat that was more than four or five years older than Xiao Hei, and pinched the soft meat ball while complaining in his mouth, and carried the big yellow cat all the way back to his studio, so that the rhubarb, who was sleepy but had to cooperate with his master, stayed on his knees, and stepped on it for a long time before finding a comfortable position in Chi Huan's hard and cold arms, shrunk into a ball, and fell asleep.

The cat's body temperature is already higher than that of the human race, and although Rhubarb is a short-haired cat, Chi Huan, who is naturally cold, is satisfied with the warmth of Rhubarb.

Flipping through a notebook on the table of the work desk, Chi Huan's eyes flickered, and when he raised the pen, a steady stream of speculations surged out of his mind. It wasn't until the pen in his hand was written out of ink that he raised his eyes to look at the clock in the room. It was only two hours before the agreed time of the visitor.

...... Wait, did he forget something?

"Goo~"

Chi Huan's whole body stiffened. He doesn't seem to have eaten breakfast, he doesn't seem to have forgotten to eat yesterday's dinner!!

No wonder his eyes are black!

——

Xia Xianrong was dressed in a black suit, carrying an ordinary-looking handbag in his hand, and when he got off the bus at the bus stop, he habitually raised his hand and looked at his watch, and then left in a hurry. His goal is to live in a high-rise complex in the heart of Lonaka, where he is assigned the overall person in charge of the mission. He had in his handbag what he knew about the mission, and in three days at the latest, they would be on their way to the mission's destination to complete what seemed to him an almost impossible task.

[Room 02 on the 27th floor of Building 2]. Xia Xianrong remembers very well that his target person is this address.

"That elevator is broken. In the elevator room, the boy who followed Xia Xianrong into the building with him suddenly spoke. "You can share a room with me. ”

The boy pointed to the elevator in front of him. Xia Xianrong bowed slightly: "Okay." His eyes subconsciously swept over the bag in the boy's hand, canned cat food and sausage instant noodles, which are a must-have for standard people who live alone. Similarly, Xia Xianrong also saw the boy's face. His expression was slightly haggard, with black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, bloodshot eyes behind the lenses, and heavy dark circles, obviously someone who often stayed up late. Strangely, could there be such a person among the residents of this building?

Entering the elevator, there was no superfluous word between the two.

"Ding-dong. The elevator came to a steady stop on the twenty-seventh floor. In Xia Xianrong's somewhat frozen eyes, the boy went straight to the door of the second room opposite the elevator, opened the door, and said to him, "Come in." ”

Is the commander-in-chief of this mission the one who looks even like a student? Xia Xianrong said even more incomprehensible when he entered the room. I saw that Chi Huan took out the cat canned food from the bag, and the black cat with a powerful aura on the sofa immediately slapped the cat canned food aside, pounced angrily, and covered Chi Huan's face directly with a paw.

"Xiao Hei, listen to my explanation!" The fool cat slave said that Xiao Hei was really too arrogant, although he didn't leave a scar on his face with his claws, but what kind of operation was it to hold his head directly and bite him?" "I got the task again, and my partner is also here, and the place to go is also a good place......"

Hearing this, Xiao Hei stopped, kicked in Chi Huan's face, and landed gracefully. "Meow!" it meowed angrily, as if questioning whether the fool cat slave was lying to it when he got up.

"The fisherman has something to do temporarily...... That's why it can't come. Chi Huan found the most normal excuse. Xiao Hei wagged his tail, his anger disappeared a lot, and he didn't pursue it anymore.

Xia Xianrong: "......"

It wasn't until Chi Huan opened cans for Xiao Hei and Rhubarb, took the bowl, and soaked instant noodles for himself, that Xia Xianrong finally handed over the documents to Chi Huan.

"Is that all?" There were only three pieces of paper, and two were photographs. Chi Huan squinted at the few words on the first page, and his face, which was already paralyzed, became even more stiff. "There is no relevant video, no information on casualties, and not even the suspects have really been confirmed...... Valid information is only location. The shadows still look up to me as always. ”

Xia Xianrong wanted to speak and stopped. He didn't want to have an extra stain of "unfinished mission" on his resume in the shadows, and he didn't want to lose his life in this mission.

"Introduce yourself. My name is Chi Huan, and I am a holy magician, and my title is [Ice and Snow]. Chi Huan stuffed the three pieces of paper back into the folder, and then ate the noodles. "Your code name is 'Bai Qi', after all, you can't reveal your real name. Once you arrive at the mission location, you'll be in charge of my food and lodging for me and Black, Rhubarb, as well as intelligence work. ”

"You are actually a Saint Magician!" Xia Xianrong's eyes suddenly changed when he looked at Chi Huan. I see, no wonder this task is in front of this boy despite the crisis. In the face of that title that symbolizes absoluteness, this task does not seem to be as difficult as imagined.

However...... "Excuse me, why hasn't your information been released?" Xia Xianrong was a little puzzled. At Chi Huan's age, he was definitely the youngest Holy Magician in the empire, but even if he was in the shadows, he still didn't know it.

"Because I don't want to go out and be watched. Chi Huan chewed his noodles: "If it weren't for its good welfare, I don't think I would have gone to the assessment." ”

...... It's really a powerful reason for an otaku! Xia Xianrong's inner villain is full of black lines.

"We're on the last cloud boat of the night. You go pack up and see you at ten o'clock. Oh, and please bring two meals, preferably one with big fish and meat. ”

Facing the first instruction of the team leader, Xia Xianrong, who had been in the door for less than fifteen minutes, left with his handbag in a complicated mood. St. Sorcery makes it impossible to fake this title unless the Dark Leader wants to kill them both. It's just that Chi Huan's identity can't be disclosed, is it really as he said, is he not wanting to?

After thinking about it for a long time, he felt that Chi Huan had too many doubts on his body, and he was afraid that he would not be able to protect himself if he was involved too much, Xia Xianrong stopped his deep thinking, and instead thought about what the team leader and his cat's dinner wanted.

Inside the house, not long after Xia Xianrong left, Chi Huan received a phone call. The caller ID was a string of garbled characters, and Chi Huan stared at it for a second before pressing it. It's just that this string of garbled characters is very stubborn, and after hitting five times in a row, Chi Huan was impatient before he connected: "Why are you so idle?"

"Why can't I be idle! I warn you not to provoke my hatred at will!" was a very nice and crisp male voice on the other side, but it was a little frizzy when he heard the word "idle". "I'm here to get down to business!"

"What's the matter?"

"Be careful with this mission. Gong Beixing lowered his voice. "I've received information here, and I'm afraid that this time it will involve the ninth order of the black name. ”

Black name Ninth Order?Chi Huan was slightly startled in his heart. The black name is the ninth order, which refers to the ninth order powerhouse who rebelled against the empire. In other words, this time there is a person at the same level as him who is obstructing him?

"I see. I'll be careful. ”

Hanging up the phone call that came in through a special channel, Chi Huan pondered for a long time, and then continued to chew instant noodles, his face expressionless, and his face was paralyzed every day.
