December.

It's the end of another year.

It's been more than a month since the last Academy Cup and the Final Trial, and as time goes by, many people have gradually forgotten about the Abyssal Gate.

The atmosphere of Lighthouse College is peaceful, and those freshmen who are forced to come to study are gradually getting used to the intense coursework and learning atmosphere here, although it is not as good as other Clock Tower Alliance universities, but the teachers here are all dragons and phoenixes, and the quality of teaching is not bad.

Originally, the old students were not as good as one session, but after a Li Xiang came out in the sophomore year, he alone blocked the generation, which always made people feel that the Lighthouse Academy ushered in a new glory.

However, the truth of the matter is extremely sad.

In addition to practicing during this time, Li Xiang was only responsible for evacuating and evacuating the students of various academies with the theater director.

The new students didn't know that it was just over a month, and nearly one-tenth of the old students had withdrawn, and those were all people who didn't have much identity background and relied on their own strength to enter the door of the academy.

They came step by step from the micro end, and finally passed the unified recruitment examination and the ultimate trial, and only now that they are at this point, if nothing else, they should have entered the various major forces of the Seven Continents after graduation, but now that the school and the polar night have changed this way, those forces are no longer willing to accept them.

This group of people is an important spark for the Lighthouse Academy, and they don't have much self-protection ability yet, so the school took the lead in arranging their retreat, and the information is kept absolutely confidential.

Among the students, Li Xiang is the only one who is eligible to participate.

On this day, Li Xiang had just completed his cultivation task and was on his way to the cafeteria, but was stopped by an old student wearing a junior uniform.

"Senior Brother Li Xiang, there is a situation. His expression changed, and his voice was low.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiang glanced at him.

"There are always a lot of people on the isolated islands outside the school lately, and I can always see them when several of my clubs go on missions, and I also caught a scout from a family. He was a little worried, "It's the Lei family, and the people gave it to the school, but I'm not very relieved." ”

The Lei family is a family with a strong conflict with Li Xiang, and he said a few names in his ear, all of which are families with deep contradictions with Li Xiang.

They gathered on the outskirts of the school, apparently with little good intentions.

"They're obviously here for you, junior brother, you've killed too many children of the family in the Ultimate Trial and Academy Cup, and they can't hold it back. The senior sighed and said in a low voice, "Take care, junior." ”

All the way to the cafeteria, there were many seniors and seniors who came up to tell similar information, these people came from all over the Seven Continents, there were families and big forces, it seemed that they were watching something, and gathered a lot of people.

In the cafeteria, Hitomi Noko was already waiting with a plate in his hand.

"When I heard that more and more people were gathered, I used the Book of Prophecy and was shocked...... Just in the past few days. Hitomi Noko eats with a spoon, her voice is very quiet, but the amount of information is very large.

Li Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "If you use that less, it's not good for your health." In that case, I asked Sister Xiaying to see if the batch that went out in the afternoon could bring you with me, but even if I didn't care, Bai Dongxue would come to pick you up, right?"

"I don't want to go, brother. Ye Hitomi looked up at him with a resolute expression, "Every time, you want to settle me first, I used to have inconvenient legs and feet, so I can only cause trouble for you, so I agree." But now, I have the strength, why don't you let me be by your side to help you?"

"Don't lose your temper. Li Xiang reached out and rubbed her head, and wiped the rice from her mouth, "You're only a level 1 magician, so you're still in the way here." When you're a player in the future, my brother will let you follow, okay?"

"Hmph. Hitomi continued to chop the rice and did not refute.

Now that the undercurrent is surging and the turmoil is sudden, many people are not optimistic about the Lighthouse Academy, thinking that this behemoth will collapse, and all forces want to fish in troubled waters, after all, the magic dust crystal alone is enough to make many ordinary families rise, which is really eye-catching.

The thicker the atmosphere, the more stable Li Xiang became.

After lunch, Hitomi continued to practice with the Enchantress.

Li Xiang hurried to the newly built helipad of the academy, where there were neat and uniform new floatboats, which were made by the chessboard academy led by Dean Lei Lin and stayed up all night day by day.

They will carry batches of tinder to the various secret bases set up by the Lighthouse Academy in the Seven Continents over the years, in order to prevent these students from being killed in the outside world.

There are too many people to transfer, and the resources are limited, so Ying and Li Xiang decided to use talent and identity background as the baseline after communicating and confirming them, the higher the talent, the lower the identity background, go first, and come in batches.

No one complained, and no one objected.

In the center of the tarmac, the shadow was wearing a black trench coat, followed by a large number of students whose figures were hidden in black robes, they were the group that was going to leave in the afternoon.

"Sister Shadow. Li wanted to go up and say hello.

Shadow smiled softly at him, her eyes full of tiredness, she had broken her heart for these students these days as the head of the Torch Academy.

Torch Academy is committed to taking the path of non-player functional magic users, and has exported a large number of high-quality members of the player team, but at the same time, it has also become a thorn in the side of many forces.

And just after Vice Principal Jeffrey proposed an evacuation plan, Ying discussed with a group of teachers and students and decided that the Torch Academy would be evacuated last.

As the most combative of the four academies, the Torch is responsible for lighting the way forward, and is the pioneer of the sprint, and they are naturally obligated to open the way for the disadvantaged groups of the Chessboard Academy and the Beacon Academy.

But the more you stay here, the more dangerous it is.

Ying didn't want to see the students he brought up with him bleeding here.

"After this batch of evacuations, the students of the Chessboard Academy and the Beacon Academy have almost finished a round, and those secret societies in the Seven Continents should also be saturated for a while. Shadow looked at him and said indifferently, "You can start arranging the students of the Lighthouse Academy." ”

"I understand. Li Xiang nodded.

In this group of black-robed students, he saw the figure of Shajia.

The originally talkative and lively Arms Queen could only smile weakly at him, and in the blink of an almost instant, she was able to eat all the basic plates of the border and bring a huge profit to the family.

However, all this quickly collapsed during this time.

Crimson Heavy Industry was exposed, and when I heard that this emerging military factory turned out to be a product under Li Xiang's name, those buyers canceled their orders one after another, and they didn't dare to easily intersect with them.

After all, no one knows how far this company can go and how long it will live, if it survives this round, everything is easy to talk about, and if they die on the road, then their money will be wasted.

At present, only a few border and polar night organizations dare to cooperate with Crimson Heavy Industries.

After receiving these news, Li Xiang accepted Sakya's resignation. She chose to evacuate and go with her family, no longer having much to do with here.

In the end, he didn't choose to stay behind or join the Crimson Moon like everyone else.

Saga can't let go of her family, and she won't be let go, she can only watch more than a year of hard work go down the drain and quietly retreat.

At this moment, the two looked at each other, and she was a little afraid to look at Li Xiang.

After all, at that time, even the Night Legend Society was proposed by her, and the group of Enchantresses, Shizuko, and Miri also gathered together, but now, she is leaving.

Her lips quirmed, she said cherished, and she followed the crowd into the floatboat.

"Students with some family backgrounds like her have also evacuated a lot, and the big families are not in a hurry, but such small and medium-sized families can't bear the loss of their descendants. Shadow stood beside him and comforted, "Look away, this is reality." ”

"I understand, but as long as the spark remains, even if the Polar Night Mage does fall, the lighthouse will be rebuilt. Li Xiang nodded, he saw a lot of life and death in his previous life, everyone had their own choices, and he was not surprised by who made any decisions.

Three days later, a terrible piece of news came back suddenly.

Vice President Jeffrey urgently convened a school council meeting, and Li Xiang attended as a student representative, and in addition to the dean and professor levels, there were a group of key teachers.

Everyone's faces were gloomy, and the shadow was even more plunged into darkness, and the murderous aura was boiling, as if it might explode at any moment.

The top management shook, the school council meeting had not officially opened, and there was another shocking news - the board of directors decided to withdraw funds, and the lighthouse college was completely isolated.

"What do you think about this?" asked Jeffrey in a cold voice.

The crowd was silent.

The withdrawal of the board of directors and the choice of silence by the Clock Tower Alliance can be regarded as a relatively friendly approach, at least they are not in the same hurry as the Black Kings that day.

The upper circles vaguely knew that it was the Imperial Clan that was targeting them, and in the eyes of the other forces, it was a sign that the great forces had joined forces to deal with the Polar Night Magicians and wanted to erase the Polar Night.

But this is the first time this has happened.

More than half of the secret strongholds opened by the Lighthouse Academy and the Polar Night Organization in the Seven Continents were exposed, a quarter of them were uprooted, and another quarter were almost destroyed, leaving only half intact.

This matter quickly shook the Seven Continents, but the Players' Arbitration Tribunal and the Magicians Association remained silent, and even the five thrones and the three major forces did not express their position.

Acquiescing in the frenzied raids and plundering of those families and big powers.

All this, including the evacuation plan, was carried out in secret.

And those strongholds have been quietly operating for many years, not to mention 100% secrecy, and they will be pulled out in half at once, unless someone leaks secrets.

Such losses are too great and too unexpected.

It was obviously to send them out to take refuge and avoid the limelight, but it became a farewell and sent sheep into the tiger's mouth!

"Judging from the receipt, the other party is in a targeted ambush, and only when everyone is ready to move, several players in our stronghold have been killed, and none of the students have been spared. Ying flipped through the information and gritted his teeth with hatred, "But there are some exceptions, most of those students who escaped still have some family backgrounds, and their families paid a lot of money to ransom them, which shows that the other party is premeditated." ”

"All of our machinery is kept secret, and the facilities in the stronghold are only available to the people of our Board Academy. Judging from the video of the attack, the team of each attack included many power families, and in order to uproot our secret strongholds, the other party dispatched nearly a hundred different families and forces. Dean Lei Lin replied, "The inner ghost is in the chessboard academy, and now he has defected to the mechanical church. ”

"The Church of the Machines. Li wanted to look up.

"That's right, that disgraced mechanical organization that doesn't play cards according to common sense, those traitors have done this kind of thing, as long as there are still Polar Nights alive, they will have trouble sleeping, and naturally they can only find new powerful backers. Lei Lin sneered, "We have discussed this matter, the fault lies in the Chessboard Academy, and we will not occupy any of the evacuation places in the future." ”

"The matter has come out, and it is not clear whether the rest of the place is safe, in case they are waiting for the second wave, the third wave, will we still send the students to die?" asked the dean of the Beacon Academy, the old woman in a cold voice, "The students of the Beacon Academy will stick to the Tower of Knowledge, if the seniors of the Clock Tower are not willing to accept my children, then let us die together in the sea of knowledge." ”

This is not pessimism, it is resoluteness.

As a think tank, the Beacon Academy has too much research and materials in the knowledge tower, and it is more uncomfortable to abandon this place and leave than to kill them.

Unless a large amount of information can be flown away, it is impossible not to attract the attention of others.

I don't know how many people are eyeing each other, and transferring information is just looking for death.

The crowd was silent again.

"How much power is left on the Polar Night?" asked Jeffrey in a deep voice.

Bang!

The door opens.

Chief Instructor Kou Ruhai and Father Cantrey at a steady pace.

Since the last goodbye, Li Xiang hadn't seen these two for a long time, and they looked hurried, and came to the two empty seats and sat down, right next to Li Xiang.

"Not much, but enough. Although the polar night is as attached to the teacher as the lighthouse, but over the years, we have already formed our own faction, the lord of the twelve polar nights, the instructor group, and the students who came out of the training camp are all over the seven continents, and it is not so simple to destroy us. ”

Kou Ruhai's voice was loud, giving everyone another shot in the arm.

"Half of the destroyed strongholds are from the Lighthouse Academy, there is no problem on the Polar Night's side, it can be seen that the inner ghost only exists in the Chessboard Academy, these damn miscellaneous pieces, I think I can be safe and sound if I take refuge in the Mechanical Church? ”

"We have a saying in the polar night, no matter where he comes from, what his identity, what his talent is, in the polar night part, you and me, everyone is equal. In the same way, having enjoyed our things, once they become rebels, the enforcers will hunt them down to the ends of the earth until they die. So leave this matter to us. ”

The meeting continued to arrange the road after that, Li Xiang, as a junior who couldn't interject or say anything, and after listening to everything silently, the meeting ended, but was retained by Kou Ruhai.

The chief instructor looked at him with a smile, and then sighed: "More than a year ago, I was attracted by your Bai family's bloodline in the training camp, and I didn't pay much attention to it at that time, until you and the little girl of the Dong Ling family came out all the way, and the girl in the shadow of the night recommended you to me, and I didn't face it squarely." Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, you will have to participate in the player assessment. ”

"Your training camp is the best I have ever seen, don't die. Kou Ruhai patted him on the shoulder, "Next year's starry sky turbulence time should be in March and April, are you interested in leaving the Lighthouse Academy recently and coming to Polar Night to be an instructor?"

Li Xiang's eyes were cloudy, and after a long time, he seemed to understand something, and nodded.

"Good. ”
