At the same time, under the Knight Academy, in a hidden underground laboratory.

The vast hall was filled with instruments, and dozens of researchers in white coats gathered nervously, looking expectantly at the tall glass container in the center.

Floating in the clear solution was a decomposing, illegible corpse, pulled by several slender catheters.

In the center of its eyebrows, a little purple light loomed, as if something was condensing.

"It's finally succeeded! Our research is indeed right, the synthesis of artificial soul crystals, this result will definitely cause a sensation in the whole world!"

An old man with gray hair stared at the little purple light, a smile of excitement on his face.

He who led this research will surely leave a name in history and be admired by countless people, which is an irresistible temptation for a scholar.

A few people also sighed and said: "The dean's wish can finally be fulfilled, and our college may be able to restore its former prosperity." ”

"Yes, maybe after the dean uses this to advance to the Heavenly Knight, he will be able to successfully inherit the title of the former Glorious Sword. ”

The crowd was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and everyone began to talk about the future development of the college.

Only one person frowned tightly, lowered his head and thought quietly, his burgundy hair scattered on his chest, but he didn't have time to care about it. From the side, you can see a beautiful mole in the corner of the eye on his delicate face.

"Michelle, why aren't you happy at all when the experiment is successful?" the person on the side turned his head to see this scene and asked casually.

"Something is wrong. Michelle shook her head, turned around and walked to a table behind her, searched for a while through the large pile of information scattered on the table, picked up a thick sheet of information and flipped through it.

"This is a record of data over the years, and according to the trend, the experiment is unlikely to be successful. ”

She handed the information to everyone, and there was a look of doubt in her eyes.

"Hmm...... That said, the numbers of the last few months have been a bit unusual, and it's all too smooth to suddenly start to go as we envisioned. ”

The information was passed on a few times, and some people began to notice that something was wrong, and touched their chins and said.

"That's because I only started to adopt my new plan a few months ago, and this is the breakthrough progress!" the gray-haired old man walked over with a cold snort, took the information, rolled his eyes casually, and put it aside disdainfully.

Michelle argued: "But this evil spirit only rioted several times half a year ago, and its harm is too great, so we can't be more vigilant." ”

"There's nothing wrong with the plan I've deduced countless times, and with the thing the Dean got from Sky City this time, it's not surprising that the experiment was successful. I'll report this to the Dean myself, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

He waved his hand with a nonchalant face, very unhappy that a young man had questioned him so much.

"I ......" Michelle wanted to say something more, but was stopped by her companion next to her. "Michelle is just too worried, after all, whether the dean can advance smoothly is also related to her physical hidden dangers, please forgive the professor. A man walked up from behind and said, giving her a look and motioning for her to say no more.

Hearing this, the professor's face was a little more beautiful, and he told everyone to continue to look at the place, and then he quickly left the place, and could not wait to report the good news to the dean.

"What are you stopping me from doing, there's something wrong with this, and you have to be more careful. It wasn't until the old professor left that Michelle said dissatisfiedly.

"The dean is more willing to believe his statement than you, not to mention that if it doesn't succeed this time, the dean won't have much time to wait any longer. Even if he knew something was wrong, he wouldn't let go of this opportunity. The man shrugged helplessly and persuaded him.

At the edge of the hall, a middle-aged man in a white lab coat looked at the corpse in a huge container, his eyes flickering.

......

In the Black Iron Bar in Julu City, Green made a routine trip to deal with some accumulated affairs in the Brotherhood.

"When will the official president appointed above arrive?"

After signing all the messy documents, Green summoned Lu Sen, who was in charge of intelligence and liaison, and asked him. Now that he has advanced, it is time to leave Julu City.

However, the position of acting president cannot be handed over at will, and must wait for the arrival of the new president designated above.

"It should be more than a month away, and this time the new president sent from above will come from the north to take office, and the road is long, so it will take a lot of time. After thinking about it for a while, Lu Sen replied.

"So long......" Green felt a little helpless, he was in a hurry to go to the imperial capital to find a way to deal with the mark left by the Mother of Pain, time was very precious. However, if you leave your responsibilities at will, it is like defecting, and the consequences are also serious.

"Forget it, then wait a little longer. Show me the latest information. Green thought about it and could only accept this reality, and while enjoying the benefits, he must also be constrained, which is also a helpless thing.

Hearing this, Lu Sen's face turned a little strange, "President, you have to see that you can, please don't transfer our information to your martial arts hall every time, it's very difficult for us to do it." ”

"Uh...... I'll pay attention next time. Green nodded a little embarrassed and said, he thought no one had found out, but he didn't expect to be seen in the eyes. Fortunately, all he brought back was some less important information, and the other party would always tolerate him so much.

After staying here for a short time, Green took care of everything, cleaned up casually, and left the Black Iron Bar.

As soon as he returned to the martial arts hall, he received a message from the people below. After pondering for a while, he nodded, and after a few words, he personally took a few followers to a remote location in the Baiyun District.

It was already dark, and Green stood in a dense wooded area by the river, his hands in the distance, and several of his attendants stood guard. The area is rarely visited and is quiet.

It didn't take long for a tall, thin middle-aged man to walk in from the path outside the woods, looking a little nervous, looking back from time to time.

Hearing the footsteps behind him stop, Green turned around and looked at the man in front of him a few times, his face was very white, and he looked like a teacher in the academy with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked at Green with a flattering smile and clasped his hands nervously.

"So you have important information to sell me?"

The person in front of him claimed to have very important news to tell him personally, and he didn't dare to show his face in a crowded place in order to prevent others from noticing.

He hurriedly nodded, and said pretending to be mysterious: "It's important news that can help your lord be promoted to Heavenly Knight! I risked my death to bring out this news, my lord?"

"Is it the old dean, and that experiment succeeded?" asked Green casually.

The man was stunned, he only knew that Green was the latest to be promoted as a great knight, and it had been less than a year since he came to Julu City, so he wanted to take the news and wait for the price to sell, but he didn't expect Green to be so clear about the secret of the academy.

Seeing him stunned, Green couldn't help frowning, "Tell me everything you know, and the money won't be less for you." ”

"It's... That's it......" The man settled down, and then slowly recounted the experiment in detail. Grimm didn't understand, and he deliberately used a lot of easy-to-understand words.

"......" Green didn't speak, but thought in his heart. He was so impressed by the evil spirit that the academy had sealed that he had almost died at its hands. It was strange how easily it could be tamed, after all, even Thea asserted that sooner or later the Academy would not be able to suppress it and cause a catastrophe.

After a long time, he asked, "You just said that the Dean got something from Sky City?"

"It's an extremely rare twin soul crystal, which the dean obtained at a high cost, and even the foundation of the academy has been used a lot. ”

"Twin Soul Crystals?...... Is it such a large piece, although the soul energy contained in it is of high quality, but the content is very small?" Green had some bad premonitions in his heart, and gestured with his hand to the appearance of the soul crystal he had sold in Sky City.

"Yes, yes. It was by virtue of its twin nature that it was used as a medium to induce the evil spirit to begin to transform. My lord, do you know .....?" the man replied nervously, he had heard of Green's brutality for a long time, and this time he only chose him because of his generosity, if he had talked for a long time and did not even have any useful information, maybe he would have been thrown into the river directly.

After waiting for a long time and not seeing Green speak, he looked up and saw Green's gloomy face, and couldn't help but tremble his feet, regretting such a reckless action.

"Give him the money. Green was depressed for a moment before waving his hand to the squire.

One of the attendants nodded, took a money bag from his bosom and tossed it to the informant man.

"Uh...... Thank you, thank you, my lord!" The man who reacted opened the money bag and glanced at it, and immediately bowed to Green with a smile and thanked him. He was only the person in charge of the experiment, and even if the dean gave him a reward, he wouldn't be able to share much, so he moved his mind.

Seeing that the money had arrived, he sneered and wanted to leave, but seeing that Green was not in the way, he quickly turned and left.

After standing by the river for a while, Green went straight back to the martial arts hall, sat down behind the table and began to think about the truth of this matter. It's a pity that he doesn't know anything about research at all, but from the other party's words, it doesn't seem to be fake, and he doesn't have the courage to cheat him with money.

"Although I have attribute abilities and there is no limit to mortals, it would be a great benefit to be able to obtain the soul crystals produced by that powerful evil spirit. ”

Green thought for a while, thought of the congratulatory gift from Morley's family a few days ago, and his heart moved, so he picked up his pen and began to write a letter. Now that he has received the news, there is no reason for the Morley family, as the number one force in Julu City, not to know, he doesn't believe that the other party is not moved.

Bang. Bang. Bang.

There was a quick knock on the door.

"Come in. Green said without raising his head, still holding his pen and writing on the paper.

It was Annevia who entered, her face unusually panicked. "My lord, Miss Fran has been attacked. ”

Syllable.

Green's pen snapped in response.
