Chapter 22: The Call

Silver Moon 6th year, October.

According to the time calculation, at this time in Giant Snake City, Jones has completed the initial production capacity configuration of new weapons, and even the first batch of magic equipment has been delivered to some lords. Although few, their power is revolutionary, even to the point that the humans controlled by angels and demons are absolutely unable to fight against them if they do not do it themselves.

Change is taking place on the continent.

If it had been before Gray's appearance, probably no nobles would have supported such a change. A civilian, with a piece of magical equipment and a good Consciousness Connection, can easily defeat any well-trained knight.

In a way, it's a subversion of the human power system.

However, it is the time for the Great Enemy to be present, and as stakeholders, almost all the lords have chosen to remain silent about this impending subversion.

What else could they do? This probably confirms once again why all great changes in humanity always precede great crises. Individual human beings may be motivated, but human beings as a whole are decadent. Only a crisis can force them to grow.

Unlike the undercurrents, where humans control the area, Logoshini is quiet and peaceful.

At least for Cartier's Blood Elf Academy of Magic, yes.

......

Sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves of the sacred tree on the square of the Academy of Magic. Occasionally, an autumn breeze blows, and the leaves wither, and the scene is like a red rain.

On a day like this, no matter how much you sweep the leaves, it is impossible to sweep them clean. Therefore, the general affairs committee simply did not care.

There were withered yellow leaves everywhere, and groups of magic apprentices walked on them, which was quite a wonderful feeling.

Although the "terrifying atmosphere" created by Angel continued, and even gradually, in addition to Angel, many magic apprentices began to use their power for personal gain. The atmosphere in the entire Academy of Magic is going bad. But after all, the Blood Elf Magic Academy has a big business, and this little movement will not shake its foundation.

......

Dark Department of the Library.

Angel was sitting alone in the reading room, flipping through the heavy collection of dark books.

His gaze lowered slightly fluttered back and forth on the obscure words at a very fast pace. His lips twitched from time to time, as if he was silently reciting a mantra. It's like a sponge, frantically absorbing moisture.

The devil who was squatting on the long table put on his glasses, put on a serious dress like a secretary, flipped through the notebook in his hand and said, "It's 2:50 in the afternoon. At four o'clock, you need to go to the administration building for a meeting of the maintenance committee to discuss the work schedule for the next week. You don't seem to need to prepare anything, though, Daniel will take care of everything for you. All you have to do is show up, sit in the back row, and sit until the end of the meeting. It is expected to be completed in about an hour. ”

"After the meeting, there will be a meeting after the meeting. Daniel and Div seem to be at odds lately, and you have to mediate. After all, you still have to rely on the maintenance committee to make profits, don't you? ”

"Because I heard that you have passed the eighth-level magic test, Gaozong will ...... That is, Aurora, who has sent you an invitation to join the High Sect Society. I thought maybe you could join in. ”

As he spoke, the devil pushed his glasses and looked at Angel.

"No, I don't want to join the High Sect Society. Turning the pages of the book, Angel replied casually: "After the last time, the Gaozong Society has been discredited. I shouldn't have given them a chance to boost their prestige. ”

But they may have meant surrender. You know, you don't have a good reputation in the Academy of Magic right now. While your inclusion can boost their prestige in some ways, it's also a blow on the other hand. People who hate you will hate them too. ”

"Do you think I should join them?"

"I think so, after all, it's better to have more friends than enemies. There's no need to push them to the opposite side. There are quite a few people who cause trouble for you now. ”

Taking a deep breath, Angel replied, "Okay, then I'll join them." ”

"Okay, that's it. The devil continued to flip through his little notebook: "You have to go home for dinner at six o'clock in the evening, and not later than seven o'clock at the latest." Otherwise, there may be a problem. Your mother has been starting to have some opinions about you lately. If something goes wrong at home, it can take up a lot of your energy. ”

"Got it. ”

"And Moshalili, who is not as enthusiastic about the work of the Vascular Committee as she used to be. But she is one of the few people around you who you can trust. Maybe you should pay more attention to her. Although I don't know how to pay attention to it, and I don't know how to solve it. I'm just giving you a heads-up. ”

"I see. ”

"Qili wants to ask you to go on a trip this weekend, and this is the third time she has mentioned it. You promised her that you would give her an answer today at the latest. I know you don't want to go, but you'd better find a way to excuse yourself. Try to avoid conflicts with her as much as possible. After all, you have neither fully absorbed nor completely destroyed the foundation of the Silent Spellcaster. ”

"Got it. ”

"Bernice seems to have discovered the secret that your brother is Andrew, and she was already hinting at it last time. Glad she wasn't going to debunk it yet...... But I think, out of self-preservation, maybe you should be a little more restrained. ”

Angel closed his eyes, looking a little tired, "Why should I waste my time on such meaningless things, which don't help my magical attainments. ”

"Hmm...... Half a year ago you didn't need to waste time on these issues at all, but back then, your progress was slow. In fact, it's because you've put your energy into these things that you've been able to make progress so quickly. ”

"Am I making rapid progress?"

"Very fast. I bet no one in the history of the Academy of Magic has progressed as fast as you. After all, you're enjoying almost all of the Academy's resources. ”

"But I don't think it's fast enough. ”

"How fast do you want it to be?" said the devil with a grin, "It takes hundreds or thousands of years for magic to improve, this is an immutable law. There is no way in this world to solve this problem. ”

"The practice of magic requires endless time, but my life is limited. Now it's going to be wasted endlessly in meaningless places...... Blood Elves are such a terrible race. Bowing his head slightly, Angel's gaze fell on a piece of text.

"Angels and demons are two very different races. Angels are a single race of 'heaven' origins who serve the 'Holy Spirit' and see the impartiality of their values as the meaning of their existence. Demons cannot be called a race at all. In fact, they are made up of many different ethnic groups. As for how they all appeared in the first place, and how they were collectively called demons. There is no way to know. ”

"A good 'demon messenger', that is, the collaborator and spokesperson of the demon, will have the opportunity to be transformed by the demon lord to become a real demon. This is by far the most reliable rumor about the origin of the demon, and it can perfectly explain the origin of the demon. The basis of this rumor lies in the proven 'Demon Lord's powerful life transformation ability. Many races have legends of the 'Creator', and it is generally believed that the 'Creator' is bright-oriented. However, the one who really reached the pinnacle of creation was actually the dark-oriented 'Demon Lord'. Only by denying life can we transform life. As difficult as this may sound, it is true. ”

"The transformation of life that Krimasha is pursuing, the 'Demon Lord' has long mastered. It is older than any other race on the continent of Celtes. ”

Of course, this is just speculation. So far, there is no known case of a 'demon envoy' who was transformed into a demon because he was favored by the 'demon master' and eventually became a demon. ”

Angel hurriedly flipped to the next page.

However, all that appeared in front of me was a blank piece of paper.

Yes, blank, and a dozen pages of blank paper with nothing but page numbers. On the last page, there is a note left by someone who doesn't know: "Does anyone know how to find this part?"

"Become a demon...... Then you can break through the limits of the blood elves' lives, and even break through the boundaries of magic. Angel muttered to himself.

"Uh...... What do you want to do?" the devil craned his neck.

Glancing at the small devil beside him, Angel said, "It would be nice if you were a demon, but it's a pity that you are only a devil." Maybe I should summon real demons and talk to them. ”

But the rest of the content is lost. ”

"I can guess what it is, I should summon something like that. In fact, it is just a loud 'roar' to get the demon to notice him. Do I need someone to teach me how to 'roar'? I can just make up my own. The key is whether they need me to do something for them. They need it, and I have a bargaining chip. ”

"There are risks. ”

"Is there anything risk-free?"

"Hmm...... Honestly follow the rules, and there is no risk. ”

"And how did Krymassa perish? Is it true that every one of them in the whole Krymasha is unruly? As long as you are weak, you are at risk. As he spoke, Angel flipped through several dark magic books open next to him, quickly transcribing the spells in them.

......

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Angel left the library "on time".

By the time he arrived at the administration building, the meeting had already begun. Daniel is presiding over the meeting.

He glanced at Angel from a distance, and Angel looked at him too, and neither of them said anything.

Sitting in the back row, Angel thought silently.

Then it's five o'clock, and there will be after the meeting.

Angel sat silently, watching Daniel and Div arguing, occasionally saying a few words to avoid further escalation of the conflict between the two men. The rest of the time, he was thinking about something as if he were wandering.

Moshalili sat next to Angel, head down, taking minutes of the meeting.

Time just ticked by.

At half-past six in the evening, Angel returned home and had dinner with his family.

After eating, he silently put the "salary" of two hundred silver shells on the table, and then left.

"You've done a great job, at least much better than you were a few months ago. There is no need to be in such a hurry. On the way to the Academy of Magic, the Devil chased after him and said, "The path you are taking now is the path that a magic practitioner must follow. And you're many, much faster than everyone else, and I dare say you're faster than your brother Andrew. If you take into account your age. It is also necessary to cope with all kinds of trifles, otherwise, you will not have such a strong resource. ”

"But I think I'm a little tired. Angel replied softly.

"Tired?"

"Tired, tired, tired. None of these things are actually challenging, they just keep repeating themselves. It doesn't make any sense. ”

"Uh...... It depends on what you mean by 'meaning'. As I just said...... Hey, wait for me!

......

Back in the lab, Angel quickly pulled out a booklet from his personal storage shelf and read it page by page.

"In an hour, you'll have to go see Kiri. The devil said, "Then give her an answer and tell her if you want to go with her on the weekend." ”

Angel suddenly raised his head and looked at the devil: "You're the devil, right?"

"Uh...... Yes. ”

"I feel like I've been seduced by you. ”

"Huh?" the poor devil suddenly felt a huge cauldron fly towards him, "No, Angel, I didn't do anything, I swear. ”

"No, you did. Isn't it a sign of 'bad' to do something bad and not admit it? This is the quality of the devil. Because of your temptation, I can't wait to throw myself into the arms of the devil now. ”

"But the devil and the devil are not the same species, why should I let you fall into the arms of the devil? I don't even identify with the 'demon lord'. ”

"At least a close relative, isn't it?" "Angel looked at it carefully through the light from the lampshade, turned his face sideways, and began to look at the laboratory again, "I need to move this lab bench over there." ”

Angel made a spell-casting gesture and chanted the incantation. Soon, the test bench trembled slightly, but it never rose in the air.

"Is it too heavy?" the devil asked.

"No, it's not too heavy. It's the legs that are locked. Why do you need a lock in this damn place?"

"Maybe to withstand the destruction of some dangerous experiment, who knows?"

Pulling open the drawer, Angel quickly put all the items he needed to draw the circle into his shoulder bag.

After packing everything up, he put on his shoulder bag and silently watched the devil.

The devil squatting on the experimental table also looked at him helplessly: "I don't recommend that you provoke those species that are much stronger than you now, really. ”

"If not now, when, when will I be stronger than all of them?, why do I need them then?" said Angel, turning to open the door, and without looking back, he ran towards the barren waiting area.

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
