Chapter 1: The Shadows
Majestic snow-capped ladders cascade down from floating islands in the sky. [Full text reading.]
Standing in front of the ladder, Wei Ziqi stopped, turned to look at the people with shocked faces, and said with a slight smile: "This is where the academy is located." β
Looking up at the huge floating island in the sky, the teenagers were dumbfounded, barely believing what they were seeing.
"Ahh β
Gilgamesh looked at the majestic floating island, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Only such a place is worthy of being the residence of this king." β
He raised his head slightly, his eyes closed, and his face showed a look of intoxication: "High in the sky, looking down on all beings." This is the style of a king!"
Wei Ziqi didn't pay attention to him and said, "Okay, let's go." Once you have reached the ladder, you can instantly reach the main entrance of the top academy with your identity token. β
After saying that, he took the lead and walked to the ladder.
Then, the others hurried to follow.
When they came to Shitai, Wang Liumei and Lin Zangfeng were already waiting here.
"Dean. β
The moment she saw Wei Ziqi, Wang Liumei smiled and bowed slightly.
"I've seen the dean!"
Lin Zangfeng knelt on one knee and bowed his head in salute.
"Well, no need to be polite. β
Wei Ziqi said, then looked at Wang Liumei, and said, "I'll build a residence immediately, and you can arrange these students first." Come back to me later. β
"Okay. β
Wang Liumei bowed slightly.
Wei Ziqi turned around, looked at the group of somewhat restrained teenagers, and said loudly: "Okay, this is my assistant, her surname is Wang." She will then arrange a place for you to live, and you can just follow her. After settling in, take a good look at all kinds of information about the academy through your identity token, especially some notices, and be sure to read them carefully. β
After speaking, he ignored them and said to Charles and the others, "You come with me, go in first." β
After returning to the dean's palace, Wei Ziqi sat down in the main seat, first bought a few small single-family villas for the students to live in, then looked at everyone and said, "I will arrange your accommodation separately." There aren't many members of the academy right now, so you can choose to live in my palace, or I'll arrange for you to live in an attic alone. β
"Of course, this king has to live alone. Gilgamesh immediately replied, "As a king, how can you live in someone else's palace!"
"Yes. Wei Ziqi nodded, "Go out and choose a place by yourself, and then tell me that I will build you an attic." β
Gilgamesh immediately headed outside.
"What about you?"
Wei Ziqi looked at the others.
Charles was the first to speak, and said softly, "I'll just live outside, preferably close to those children." β
Uther continued, "Let me stay next to Professor Charles." β
"Okay. Wei Ziqi nodded in agreement.
"I see that your place is not bad, so you can reluctantly stay, and you don't need to make separate arrangements for me. β
Shirley Lu looked at the decorations in the hall, and then said quite arrogantly.
"Please allow me to stay and keep you safe. β
Artoria said with a serious expression.
Shinonoshu said with a smile: "I can just live in the laboratory, and I don't need to build a separate building." But it would be better if you could save me a room here. β
Broken Bee looked solemn and said, "Please let me live next to the Shadows." β
"Very well, you've all decided, right?" Wei Ziqi finally confirmed.
Everyone nodded.
"Then it was decided. If you live alone, you can choose where to stay, and I will have an evening party here in the evening, and everyone will come when the time comes. β
Wei Ziqi said.
"Well, I'll leave first. Charles said and turned to leave.
"Dean, farewell. β
Uther bowed to Wei Ziqi and left the main hall with him.
After the two left, the rest of the people looked at Wei Ziqi.
"Hey, hey. The bundle of Shinozhi jumped up to Wei Ziqi's side, with a flattering look on his face, "Where's my alchemy lab? Hurry up, I'm going to take a look." β
"Don't worry. Wei Ziqi comforted her, and then looked at Broken Bee, "Broken Bee, I'll build the headquarters of the dark department for you first, and then arrange your deputy." Then I will delegate the recruitment authority to you and give you a certain number of places. You decide for yourself how many people to recruit. β
"Yes, thank you, Dean. β
Broken Bee replied.
Wei Ziqi nodded slightly, and then opened the interface of the system mall and found the Execution Palace.
γAcademy Building Card (Execution Hall)γ(Unique)
Attributes: A special building, a place for interrogation, trial, and execution. You can recruit the Academy's exclusive unit, the 'Punisher'.
Price: 10,000 merit points.
Punisher: An exclusive unit of the Supreme Academy, proficient in intelligence gathering, tracking, assassination, torture and other special combat skills, and is the sharp blade of the Academy. Recruitment requires the construction of the Execution Temple, which consumes 300 merit points/unit.
"System, how many punisters are there in a unit?"
Seeing the price of the punisher, Wei Ziqi asked directly.
"The punisters are special combatants, and a unit is a squad, with a total of three people. β
Sure enough, there is a difference between the punisher and the guardian.
"Buy the Hall of Execution Building Card. β
In an instant, Wei Ziqi saw that his merit point balance was nearly one-third less.
Then, a card appeared in his hand.
"Use!"
After reciting a word silently in his heart, the card in Wei Ziqi's hand instantly turned into a streamer and flew out through the roof of the main hall.
He stood up, walked up to Broken Bee, suddenly grabbed her wrist in Broken Bee's stunned gaze, turned back to the crowd and said, "You guys wait here first." β
After speaking, the figures of the two faded and disappeared into the main hall.
Broken Bee only felt the space in front of him change for a while, and the next moment, he appeared in a somewhat dark and cold hall.
On the wall in the center of the main hall, there is a line of dark red handwriting that seems to be a little distorted: We are the sharp blade hidden in the dark in the hands of His Excellency the Head of the Academy.
Beneath the handwriting is a large relief carved with countless creatures of different shapes struggling in pain as they were tortured.
Broken Bee looked at the relief, only to feel that the scene in front of him changed for a while, and one by one the distorted faces swirled and fluttered in front of him.
"What are you looking at. β
Suddenly, a hand was placed on her shoulder, which startled her, and the illusion in front of her instantly disappeared.
Wei Ziqi's gentle voice sounded in his ears: "Don't worry, this is just a method used to torture the hearts of sinners. β
Broken Bee was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Thank you, sir." β
Wei Ziqi let go of her shoulders and said as he walked forward, "No thanks. Now let's take a look at your deputy. β
He walked over to a swirling wall at the back of the hall and chose to recruit a unit of punishers.
The whirlpool spun in an instant, deep and dark, as if it could swallow a human soul.
The next moment, three black figures walked out of the whirlpool silently and knelt down on one knee in front of Wei Ziqi.
"Meet Your Excellency, the Head of the House!"
Their voices were low and hoarse, cold, and there was not a trace of emotional fluctuations.
"Get up. Wei Ziqi said lightly, then turned around, "Her name is Broken Bee, and she will be your chief officer from now on." β
"I've seen Lord Shattered Bee. β
The three of them bowed to Broken Bee.
Broken Bee nodded slightly at them.
"Now, let's introduce your names. β
Wei Ziqi commanded.
"The subordinates have no names, only code names. β
The man in black in the lead said respectfully.
"The subordinate is codenamed Raven. β
"The subordinate is codenamed Shadow. β
"The subordinate is codenamed Snake Eyes. β
"Good. Wei Ziqi nodded slightly, "From now on, you will be responsible for forming the Dark Department." I hope to see a razor-sharp blade, an army of punisters who have a small reputation, but who can terrify the enemies and traitors of all the Academy. β
"We will live up to the expectations of adults!"
The four of them knelt on one knee and said firmly.
"The immediate priority of the Shadow Department is to form an intelligence-gathering force. For the time being, the entire Qingyan City will be completely under surveillance, and then wait for the opportunity to expand to several giant cities around it. In particular, the giant cities that have been hit hard in this beast tide are priority targets. β
Wei Ziqi stood with his hands in his hands and said lightly: "This is the early goal. As for the present, I want you to find a way to monitor the three major sects for me, especially the Crescent Moon Sword Sect, and I want to know their every move. β
"Yes, sir!"
Broken Bee stood up and replied respectfully.
Wei Ziqi looked at her and said, "The sharp blade of the dark department, this dean will be handed over to you." You are only responsible to the Dean and do not have to obey orders from anyone but me. β
"Yes. Broken Bee said, "Please rest assured that Broken Bee will live up to your trust." β
"I'll give you ten slots first, and then slowly increase them. You put up the shelves first, and then you don't need to rush C. β
Wei Ziqi instructed again, delegated the authority to Broken Bee, and then left the execution hall.
In the main hall, Wei Ziqi's figure reappeared.
"Hey, you're finally back!"
Shinonoshu, who was sitting on the table on the side and dangling his legs, his eyes lit up, and he immediately jumped to the ground and ran over, grabbing his hand and shaking: "Hurry up, get my lab ready." I can't wait to validate some of my thoughts. β
"No rush, no rush. β
The arm sank deep into the softness of the girl's chest, Wei Ziqi only felt a wonderful touch, and the old god said on the ground: "What is yours is yours, and there will be no escape." β
"Anyway, stop talking nonsense, hurry up!"
Shinonoshu couldn't wait to urge.
"Okay, okay, I'll build it for you. β
Wei Ziqi said, took out the academy building card rewarded by the system, and chose to use it.
A ray of light immediately appeared, and then on the edge of the small island in the middle of the lake, a strange building complex appeared again in the calm mirror lake. (To be continued.) )
