Continental Europe, International Court of Arbitration.

The building of the International Court of Arbitration is an ancient castle in Europe, although from the outside, it is large and magnificent, with a majestic momentum, but there is no luxury and extravagance, nor is it extravagant and splendid.

I don't know how many years the castle has passed, but it is still the style of painting thousands of years ago, as if it has not changed its style since the day it was established. At the same time, this eternal style of work means that it will endure for a long time, and the original intention will not change, symbolizing absolute power and unshakable status.

On the top of the castle, there are delicate and sharp patterns, which are intertwined and finally turned into sharp hooks, which can only be seen from a distance.

It was a hanging eagle, it looked down on the world, its eyes were sharp and deep, and its wings covered the sky, showing the shape of soaring.

The carving technique is not superb, looking at it from a distance, I only feel that the eagle seems to have come to life, the eagle's eyes, sharp and upright, this giant eagle seems to stand on the ancient castle, looking at everything, overlooking the world, instead of the gods to inspect, arresting the evil in sight.

Although the huge eagle pattern stands on the top of the castle tower, it does not give people the slightest sense of superiority, as if everything is so harmonious.

Just looking at the giant eagle, those who look at it will feel a sense of respect from the bottom of their hearts.

And the arcanists working in the Court of Arbitration, bathed in the wings of this eagle every day, will also rise a sense of pride, which is a kind of divine gift, I have assumed a sacred sense of mission, and it is this sense of mission and responsibility that has been passed down since ancient times, so that the Court of International Arbitration will arrest those criminal arcanists no matter what, no matter what the cost, and arrest heretics.

Going deep into the International Court of Arbitration, it is paved with modern green bricks, and the more you go inside, the more simple it becomes, which is completely different from the extravagance and waste imagined by outsiders.

Inside is like a modern office building, with all the modern facilities it should have, but with a little more antique charm, which is a legacy inherited through the ages, and it is also something that the Court of Arbitration has been guarding.

In a remote part of the Court of Arbitration, there is a wilderness-like area that seems to have been specially carved out, or it may have been deliberately left behind in the place where it was established.

The air was very fresh, and there were brown sparrows fluttering their wings on the dregs, and they were moving from time to time in the woods, sometimes flying away and sometimes perching on the branches.

And there, there is a huge lakeside, the water is clear, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, and the breeze blows, but it is only a slight wave on the surface of the lake.

The land by the shore of the lake was covered with small grasses, and the smell of the earth was there, and at this time it was also very clean, except for the two of them sitting cross-legged.

An old man, a middle-aged man, all holding a fishing pole in his hand, the tail of which had sunk into the water, closed his eyes, and neither of them spoke.

The old man was wearing coarse cloth clothes, his face was old, his back was rickety, but he was extremely upright, and the breath on his body was terrifyingly stable.

The middle-aged man has a unique temperament, wearing a golden robe with a very low-key dark pattern, which seems to be the same as the pattern on the ancient castle outside. If someone sees this robe here, even if they don't know the middle-aged, they must know that this middle-aged man is an adjudicator of the Court of Arbitration, and as a high-level member of the Court of Arbitration, he has great power in his hands.

Because of the unique atmosphere of justice, and the robe with gold as the main tone, with a dark weeping eagle pattern engraved on it, only the judge is qualified to wear it.

The old man's hook shook violently, and the originally calm water began to set off huge waves of water, and for a long time, it seemed that a big fish had bitten the bait and tried to break free from the hook.

The old man slowly opened and closed his closed eyes, and his originally cloudy gaze flashed with a clear glow that did not belong to the age of old age.

Looking at the fish that had been hooked, the old man's arm drew a large arc into the air, and the fishing hook flicked lightly, and the fish biting the hook followed the old man's movements, and crossed a huge mark in the lake. fluttering the fins, the big fish was still tearing, as if disobeying the old man, and a huge force struck from the hook, as if to break the hook.

"Kaka~~!!"

The fishing rods began to bend because of the huge force that came, but the old man was not in a hurry, the old man was not in a hurry, his wrist flicked down, the fishing rod flew by, and in the direction of the big fish's force, the power of the big fish was dissolved into invisibility again, and the rod immediately returned to its shape.

The big fish was still shaking its fins, constantly swaying, making huge waves on the surface of the water, and the old man's old body was not as old as he imagined, but had the energy of a young man. The fish went that way, and the old man swung the rod along the fish, and the big fish always wanted to escape, but because of the hook, he could only follow the old man's willpower and keep paddling across the lake again and again.

Following the direction of the fish, the old man kept waving the fishing rod, and after a while, the fish no longer moved, perhaps because he had no strength, or perhaps because he was already physically and mentally emaciated.

The big fish obviously still has the breath of life, but the fish pupils are dim, as if waiting for the fate of the old man.

The old man's eyes flashed, and he lifted the rod suddenly, and the flying fish flew in a circle in the air, and fell into the bucket prepared in advance with a thud.

"Senior Lucifer, your fishing skills are really getting better and better." The middle-aged man opened his eyes and said with a smile, unabashedly respecting and respecting the old man.

Lucifer was also a judge of the Court of Arbitration, but when he was old, he voluntarily resigned from his position and retired to the background, responsible for appointing and mentoring the new generation of adjudicators.

The old man smiled and shook his head, with a kind smile on his face, and muttered softly with his shriveled lips as he poured the water and fish from the bucket back into the lake.

The old man's voice came out: "All living beings are just fish. “

Reloading the half bucket of water, the old man continued: "You are good at everything, but sometimes you are too impatient. ”

"You see, it's been a long time, and you haven't caught a single fish, and every time you're in too much of a hurry, and you're scared away. Remember, anyone can be an angler, and it takes a lot of patience......."

Cheng Lu smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, what you said ....... said"

"Actually, when I was your age, I was also frizzy." The old man Lucifer said to the middle-aged Cheng Lu, although the two were not related by blood, the old man spoke as if he was talking to his juniors, teaching diligently.

Cheng Lu nodded at the old man and listened carefully to the old man's church.

"How frizzy?" Cheng Lu asked playfully, and the conversation with the old man was also very casual. Lucifer understands his temperament and treats him sincerely, and the old man will not stick to those courtesies, preferring people who can forget his identity and have a deep friendship with him.

"Ahem, don't mention it......" coughed twice, as if thinking of the girls he had chased back then, the old man also shook his head and avoided the topic.

The old man sighed: "Eh, maybe this is youth, only after experiencing the polishing of time and the baptism of bad things, can we truly face the world, do not be surprised, and act calmly......"

Cheng Lu nodded silently, thought about it, and still asked: "Senior, I actually still have something to understand." ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it."

The old man yawned first, and then stretched his waist, and the old and brittle bones in his body were rattling with the twisting of his body, and the old man didn't care at all, and said.

"Why do you want to seal the power of the forbidden spell so strict......ly?"

Cheng Lu stared at the old man's eyes and said seriously: "In my opinion, the forbidden spell is a manifestation of the peak of the arcane, but because the power of the forbidden spell is too strong, it will be stripped out of the arcane system, and as a force alone, we will call it a forbidden spell." ”

The old man smiled, his fingers sketched in the air, and he wrote a string of international words, which was written with the word 'forbidden spell'.

"Forbidden curses and forbidden spells, there are two words, one is 'forbidden' and the other is 'curse'."

"'Forbidden' means that it is not allowed, and 'curse' means that it is a force that brings a devastating curse, and the two are mutually causal. You should know very well that the power of the forbidden spell is terrifying, and the area baptized by the forbidden spell will be polluted by the forbidden spell, and there will be no life alive under the mythical life. At the same time, in a few decades, there will be no more life, no grass, no life...... Forbidden spells will not only destroy demons, but also humans. What's more, sometimes some extremely powerful demons can't be killed by forbidden spells......"

The old man spoke eloquently, and as he spoke, he also pointed to the pole he was holding in his hand.

"You see, we're catching fish here today with a fishing rod. But if we use a fishing net to catch a fish, it won't take a few times to catch it. And without the fish, the water will become clearer, clearer and clearer, but that is just nice talk, and it seems to me that it is the beginning of dead silence. ”

"The clearer it is, the less lifeless the water is. On the day when there are no fish, sooner or later the water will become dirty, and sooner or later the clear water will become stagnant. ”

"And next, when we look at such an endless clear water, we will also lose the environment we rely on to survive, what should we do?"

Hearing this, Cheng Lu's eyes were in a trance, and he suddenly realized, and said in a somewhat confused and chaotic manner, and his eyes gradually showed a clear glow.

"So, the demons are the fish, we are the anglers, and the environment is the water?"

"Hehe, that's half right." The old man smiled and shook his head.

"The demon doesn't have to be a fish, it can be a crocodile, a creature that doesn't have a strong dependence on water...... In the end, maybe all of us humans will die, and those mythical creatures will not die......"

The old man's words were flat, but anyone who listened to the content would feel a creep. But the old man said it so lightly, it had to be shocking, what did the old man go through to be able to say such things so indifferently.

When Cheng Lu heard this, his heart couldn't help but stagnate for half a moment, it was too heavy to carry something to express his feelings.

Forbidden spells, the top power that humans have mastered, but they can't kill those top mythical creatures!!

Others said that he might still scoff at it, after all, the power of forbidden spells can only be understood by those who have forbidden spells. But the old man's words, he had to believe. Because this retired judge, this old man, is a forbidden spell in itself!!

Cheng Lu showed a hint of bitterness on his face, nodded, and said, "Understood." ”

"Forbidden curse, forbidden curse, forbidden curse of the end...... The forbidden spell is the last line of defense for mankind and the last hope for mankind, so it will be banned. Sometimes, the deterrent effect of a weapon is far greater than the force it can deliver. ”

"The forbidden spell, as the strongest force of human beings, cannot be concealed at all, because there is no power beyond the forbidden spell ....."

"And in the process of constantly exposing the power of forbidden spells, it means that handing over one hole card after another to the Demon Empire will only make the Demon Empire more and more courageous!!"

"But when necessary, it is not permissible to use arcane artefacts, such as in the event that the arcane trajectory may change."

Touching the void, the old man smelled a different smell and said softly, "Oh....... It's the smell of the forbidden spell, and here it comes. ”
