Chapter 69 The Academy Changed Hands
"Da Da Da~" In the extremely dark underground palace, the purple lamp emitted a ghostly light, reflecting on the woman's face, bringing a touch of mystery to her identity.
"I ...... Who am I?" The huge black stone platform is carved with ancient texts, and the four stone pillars around the edge are carved with mysterious and ancient creatures, and the head of the creature has an unusually conspicuous eye, which is the totem of the Church of the Dead.
Two women sat cross-legged, one of them had a layer of fine gauze on her face that covered her peerless countenance, and the younger one was not bad-looking, but her immature face was slightly jerky.
"Your name is Shirley, our most revered Highness. The woman's voice was bewitching, Shirley's eyes were hollow, as if she had lost her soul, as the woman's voice echoed in the space, Shirley's eyes gradually regained their brightness, and she muttered to herself, "My name is Shirley, and I am a saint." ”
"Yes. The woman's palm stroked Shirley's forehead, and the purple streamer drilled into Shirley's mind, Shirley's eyes glowed, and her temperament changed greatly.
A black giant stepped on the floor and made a loud noise, and his voice was angry, and said, "I'm back, huh, why did she run away from you, and I'll tell you how he disappeared." With that, white air erupted from his nostrils.
"You don't want her attention now, she's of a good use to keep it. The woman's words were tinged with warning.
The giant snorted disdainfully, "I've long lost interest in women, it's just a skin." ”
The woman was still doing her own thing, and did not continue the topic, "It seems that your fit with this body is getting better and better." ”
The giant was at least five meters tall, with a hideous face, like a legendary demon, and this man was none other than Adam, who had changed his body, and Adam clenched his fists, and the tremendous force that came from his fingers made him extremely satisfied.
"I didn't expect you to have a demon body here, although it's only the most inferior demon pawn, but I'm also very satisfied. He grinned, "I've mastered this body completely, so I can't wait for when your plans will begin." ”
"Now everything is ready, only the east wind is missing, and I am waiting for the wind that will blow from the north. The woman's eyes wandered, she had been planning for this plan for at least ten years, so that all the preparations were ready, and when the wind blew, the prosperity of their church was just around the corner.
"Just leave that kind of trivial matter to me to do, the old man in the academy has fallen into my magic trick, and it is estimated that everyone is burping, I will go over and lift them now and open the northern guard. "The warthirsty factor in Adam's body was at work again, and he loved the taste of reaping life on the battlefield.
"You have your mission, I have my own arrangements for the northern border, you can watch it, there will be good news in a few days. The woman put down the slender hand that was placed on Shirley's head, "You ...... now." And then...... At last...... As long as you do this well, when the time comes, the inside and the outside will be together, and this kingdom will be in our pocket, hahaha!"
"Okay, just do as you say, but the share you promised me must be counted, otherwise, hum!"
"Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't keep my word. ”
Adam turned to leave, and lightly dropped a sentence, "I'm on my errand, waiting for your good news." ”
...
Shirley is completely sober, but she is no longer the Shirley she used before, the woman used the forbidden book in the clan to forcibly seal the memory in Shirley's mind, and she is now like a blank sheet of paper, allowing the woman to ink on it.
"Come with me. "The woman is like a kind mother whispering to her daughter.
Shirley opened her eyes and looked at her, her eyes were indescribably close, in her world, this was the first person she had ever met, a bright smile appeared on her face, and she said softly, "Okay." ”
The woman took her hand, and Shirley was led and obediently followed behind her.
...
"Headmaster, something is wrong. Anthony pushed the door open and ran to Nadine in a panic, "Things have changed." ”
"What's wrong?" Nadine looked at him quizzically, "Didn't you go to a meeting?"
"Yes, according to your plan, read your succession letter at the general assembly, so that I can take your place smoothly, but something went wrong. Anthony said indignantly, he clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed his left palm, "It's the good things that those good apprentices of yours do!"
Nadine has been the principal for so many years, and the students he has cultivated are also countless, he has accepted a lot of apprentices in his life, and those who are willing to go out will let them out, and those who are willing to stay in the academy will give them an errand, so many years of development, the important positions of the leadership are held by his apprentices, which is why he is still calm when he is so seriously injured, those people want to take the academy from his hands, it is simply a fool's dream.
"They all defected. ”
"What?" asked Nadine.
"I said, those good apprentices of yours have all defected, thirty votes in the conference, under your estimate, I can pass at least half of them, but do you know how many votes I won?"
"How much?"
"One vote, and that one vote was my own vote. Anthony's tone was full of helplessness.
"How so?" said Nadine incredulously, he had no children in his life, and he regarded these apprentices as his closest people, but in the end, it was these people who betrayed him.
What a painful realization, Nadine couldn't speak, the taste was really bitter and indescribable.
"Now that our reliance is gone, and George's old fellow is not hiding it, if we don't think about it, our road will come to an end. After saying this, he lost all his strength, sat on the edge of the bed, and said nothing.
The two of them didn't say a word, and there was no way to vent the frustration in their hearts, I don't know what means George used, Anthony was gradually pushed out of the leadership circle, and when he felt that he was nine out of ten, that is, when he and Nadine were the most dangerous.
"You have an idea, whether it is to knock hard to the end, or what, so that I can have a bottom in my heart. ”
"You run, go somewhere else, change your identity and start over. Nadine had never been so powerless, he looked at Anthony, "George's old boy wolf ambition must be not small, the academy is too important to me, I can't easily leave it behind." ”
"It's important to you, but it's not for me, let me go, I can't bear to be here. He looked into Nadine's eyes, both of them had devoted most of their lives to the academy, and neither of them could be easily parted.
"If you stay in the green mountains, I'm not afraid of no firewood, I can't save my life, but you're different, you don't have to lose your life in vain, it's not worth it, if you also die, who will take it back in the future!" Nadine persuaded bitterly.
"Moreover, there is another very important thing that you need to do, the stakes are too big, and I didn't dare to tell you in the past, but now that it is in this situation, you can only do it. Nadine had anticipation in his eyes.
"Don't look at me like this, whatever you say now, I will take him as an excuse for you to break me away, don't say anything, if something happens, everyone will carry it together, and if you want to die, you will die together." Anthony stubbornly replied that adversity is the only way to see the truth, and Nadine was also moved, which made him more determined in his thoughts.
He made up his mind, his expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and Anthony was furious by this look, "What you said is true, there is really such an important thing for me to do?"
"That's right, it's not just about the survival of the college, it's about the survival of the whole country. Anthony was stunned for a moment, and sneered, "Whoever does this dean is not the same, it's just a change of surname, I almost believe you have become a surname." ”
"Still don't believe it, do you?" Nadine took out a metal box from his storage ring, surrounded by a hollowed-out pattern, a picture of a double dragon spitting beads.
It's just a very ordinary, ubiquitous box, and Anthony can't see how powerful this thing is when he looks at Nadine's cautious appearance.
"Do you know what the purpose of our academy was when it was founded?" asked Nadine.
Anthony replied casually, "What other role can the academy do in addition to cultivating talents?" He made a lot of sense, but Nadine shook his head and sighed, "This secret was told to me by the old man before he died. ”
He pressed the dragon ball with his hand, and the box popped open, revealing the secret it contained.
"Our academy is located in the northernmost part of the kingdom, north of the ice field, and the environment is relatively poor, which also causes the strength of our students to be generally not as strong as the strength of the middle of the kingdom, do you know why?"
"The density of elements on our side is too small, so that we have far less mastery of the elements than theirs?"
"Then do you know why the density of elements on our side is small?"
Anthony shook his head, he had never thought about it.
Nadine's body could only move slightly, and the moment he took out something just now made him sweat profusely, he pointed his finger underneath, "That's why." ”
"What does the land have to do with this? ”
"I didn't know it at first, but then the old headmaster told me that there is actually a formation buried under our feet, the scope is so large, almost the size of the entire Moha City, to maintain its operation, it needs to consume countless magic elements, which is why the magic elements in the north are getting thinner and thinner year by year. ”
Anthony finally understood that he had only regarded this as a natural phenomenon and had never thought about it in detail, and when he said this, his mouth suddenly opened.
"This big array is a formation secretly built by the founding king, the reason why the north has been safe for so many years is all thanks to its merits, and our academy is in the array, as long as the formation can be broken, Moha City will become a decoration, and the barbarians can cross the north unimpeded, which is simply a disaster for the kingdom. ”
Anthony's heart can only be described as "", he is just a teacher, when can he be linked to the safety of the kingdom.
"Let me slow down first, this is a bit informative. Anthony looked frightened, Nadine was like this at the time, and as time passed, he slowly accepted it, but this burden was on him for so many years, and he had been silently bearing it, he thought that he would pass this secret to future generations when he was about to die, but now it seems that he can't wait any longer.
These days, he has also seen some clues, what those people are trying may be more than just this academy, the situation of the mountain rain coming and the wind filling the building, so he has to prepare as soon as possible.
"And what do you mean by the hard dried fig in your box?" Anthony gestured to the contents of the box, Nadine said so solemnly, but what did it have to do with the fig.
"Figs?" Nadine nodded, seeing a dried fig lying quietly in the box, "How can this be, thing?"
"Isn't that the thing?" asked Anthony.
"It's over, it's all over. Nadine threw the box to the ground, his eyes showing despair, "How can this be, how can this be." He really couldn't understand, this thing had never left his body, how could it be gone, didn't he even give me the last reason to stick to it, Nadine was speechless to the sky.
