【Chapter 2】 The clouds have arrived

The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, the people of Moonlight City walked out of their homes early, they either started their day's work, or they talked to each other in groups of three or five. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, on the wide streets, in addition to these busy citizens, there are also heavily armed soldiers patrolling.

They were dressed in black armor, with a twelve-pointed star delicately engraved on the back of the armor, and the long sword at their waists kept slapping on the armor as they walked, forming a bell-rhythmic sound. It is known that this is the army of the Starry Night Knights in the Mologan Plateau, who have returned to Moonlight City with the Black Prince.

"Did you hear anything last night?"

"What sound?"

"Strange noise, I heard that the hotel around the corner was ordered to close. ”

"Well, maybe it's too immoral..."

"Forget it, everyone knows that it is a place of weathering, and even these officers go there all the time. ”

The two citizens were talking quietly on the side of the street, when suddenly a whole group of Starry Night Knights came from the street.

The two of them carried a plank and walked forward quickly, there were more than a dozen planks, and the plank was covered with a large gray cloth, so that people could not see what they were carrying, but the people had already guessed in their hearts that the Starry Night Knight was transporting the corpse, but they did not dare to say anything.

An officer of the Starry Night Knights wore a neat military uniform, walked in front of these Starry Night Knights with his hands behind his back, and everyone who saw them on the street retreated to the sides, and in this way, these Starry Night Knights walked unimpeded from the Moonlight City, the wide King's Road, the center of the Moonlight City, the Cloud Palace.

The officer took the soldiers behind him, through the wide and magnificent staircase, into the cloud hall, only to see more than a dozen mighty and upright soldiers in the hall, who seemed to be busy sorting out some miscellaneous items, and the luxurious ceiling did not know when to hang several huge twelve-pointed star flags, this flag is the pattern representing the starry night knight.

In the middle of the four huge round stone pillars, the ground is also covered with a crimson carpet, which extends from the doorway to the steps in the Cloud Palace, which makes the overall style of the Cloud Hall dark and serious, and in the middle of this step sits a throne that symbolizes power, the dark gold throne, wide and delicate, it looks extremely comfortable, this is the throne that only kings can use.

On the throne, the Black Prince Conseth sat on it deeply, his eyes closed slightly, his white face was like frost, and his long black hair was neatly scattered on the shoulder armor on both sides. He was dressed in black armor that had never been replaced, and his fingers tapped lightly on the dark gold armrest of the throne. His calm performance made the atmosphere in the Cloud Hall even more cold.

At the side of the Black Prince, a woman stood majestically beside him, wearing a black light armor, her fair skin looming, and a pair of slender black leather boots at her feet, which set off her tall figure. Under neatly short hair, there is a cold and beautiful face. The eyes were full of sternness and coldness, as if the cold red lips had never smiled.

And her right hand is always holding the long sword at her waist that is as black as smoke, and the sword body is carved with mysterious patterns, the shape is like a rose blooming in the jungle, mysterious and beautiful.

The officer commanded the soldiers to carefully arrange the dozen planks neatly under the steps, and came to the front of the black prince, and bowed very strictly.

"Your Highness, all the conspirators in the city have been killed. The officer reported loudly, and the completion of the task filled him with confidence.

The Black Prince opened his eyes and a dark gaze bloomed, and he slowly turned his head to look at the woman beside him.

"Enchanting ......"

Without waiting for the Black Prince to finish, he walked down the steps seductively, holding the rose sword at his waist with one hand, and lifting the worn gray cloth on the wooden board with the other......

In this way, the bewitching lifted the rags on the wooden board one by one, and the bloody corpses leaked in front of everyone one by one, and after the enchanting confirmed, she turned around and bowed to the black prince on the steps, and gave a serious salute.

"Your Highness, all the conspirators are dead, but there is one person who cannot be determined. ”

As she spoke, she walked to a wooden plank on the far left, and threw the rags on the corpse aside, only to see an unrecognizable corpse charred by the fire lying quietly in place.

"Your Highness......"

As soon as the enchanting voice fell, the officer on the side hurriedly saluted the enchanting and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, during the raid on General Andrew last night, Olga, the head of the mercenary regiment of the Order, suddenly stopped him, beheaded an officer of our army, and set the house on fire ......."

Hearing this, the Black Prince nodded slowly and waved his hand at the officer, who straightened up.

"Whoever participates in stopping our actions is the conspirator. What happened to the elite Starry Night Knights in the city?"

The Black Prince's cold, deep voice echoed through the empty halls of the clouds, making it feel like it matched his cold appearance, even though he was still young.

"Your Highness, the elite troops of the Starry Night Knights, after the disappearance of General Andrew, have expressed their willingness to obey His Highness's arrangements. The officer replied cautiously.

"Let's go down"

After receiving the Black Prince's order, the officer walked straight out of the Hall of Clouds with the rest of the Starry Night Knights, and closed the two heavy gates.

At this time, the Yunxiao Hall was empty, only the dim candle flame on the pillar emitted a faint light, and the entire hall suddenly seemed unusually dark.

"Enchanting, dispose of these corpses, you know what to do......"

"But Your Highness, Olga is the head of the Order's mercenaries, and it seems that these Order's mercenaries have already resisted us, and General Andrew's body cannot be discerned ....... ”

Enchanting interrupted the Black Prince's words in a hurry, and her original intention was really for the sake of the Black Prince, so the Black Prince didn't care.

"Andrew will definitely appear on his own, the Order's mercenaries are just mercenaries, they are far away in the north, they won't notice so quickly, and they are still under Jasmine's control. Therefore, they do not pose a threat to us, nor can they stop us from carrying the heavy burden on our shoulders. ”

Hearing this, Enchanting nodded deeply.

"After disposing of all the corpses, notify all the lords on the continent of Sapro to convene the Third Continental Council. And ......"

The Black Prince spoke deeply, and his mysterious pupils gradually became darker and darker, so dark that he couldn't breathe......

Soon, in this gloomy storm, more than ten days have passed, and with the news released by the Black Prince, it seems that with the gusts of wind and rain reaching people's ears, almost everyone on the Sapuro continent knows the news that the third continental council is about to be held.

The Arcane Academy located in Moonlight City was the first to hear the news, but unlike before, the Third Continental Council did not have seats for Arcane Mages at all, which made them confused and a little frightened.

"What does the Black Prince mean, are we excluded from this country?"

On the top floor of the Tower of the Mystic Academy, in a wide rotunda, several old men dressed in blue-blue robes sat around a huge round table, on which a huge and mysterious six-pointed star pattern was imprinted, and was surrounded by rings. This is a place that only high-level arcane mages can enter. At this moment, from their indignant voices, we can see their worry and indignation at this time.

"Ha, old friend, have you forgotten what the white-haired Citis did to us before, and now that the king is missing, of course his son suspects us ......"

"It's ridiculous, he should know the consequences of offending the Mystic......."

A few of the mages were talking to each other, but it looked more like they were complaining about something.

"Masters, now be quiet......"

At this moment an old man with gray hair stood up from his seat, his old hands resting on the smooth table in front of him, and the long white hair dangling down the sides. As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent in an instant. Although his old face was already wrinkled, his charitable gaze made him look quite energetic.

"Masters, we have now reached the most critical moment, the disappearance of the king has caused a sensation in the Sapro continent, and the third continental council must have started on the disappearance of the king, followed by the coronation of the black prince, except that we also have some lords who have not been invited, so we may have been suspected ...... by the black prince."

"I agree with Master Uganka's words that if a storm is coming, we need to prepare for it. ”

A high-ranking arcane mage stood up and agreed with Uganka's words, but the plan was quickly refuted.

"Impossible, now that the entire Moonlight City is blocked, the truth of the matter has not yet been obtained, once we have friction with the Black Prince, we will not only have to resist his attack, but also be the enemy of the whole world......"

"Are we just waiting to be killed, once the Black Prince strikes first, we will all be wiped out here......

The two high-level mages began to quarrel fiercely, and the other mages sitting in their seats also talked about it. At that moment, an elderly woman stood up, her white robe trimmed with a mixture of cyan and gold, indicating her status among the arcanes.

"Be quiet, gentlemen, our Circle Council was founded to protect the people of the continent of Sapro, not to cause war. Even if the Black Prince would suspect us, he would not have any proof. In the end, even if the Black Prince used his army to raid us, I think all of you must know that in this world, the power of the sword can never stop our magic with infinite knowledge. ”

"Madame Caroline is right, but we still have to be vigilant, now the Starry Night Knight army in the city has begun to arrest the conspirators on a large scale, and these people who are called conspirators are basically the more important officials under the white-haired Sitis. So I do not rule out that the Black Prince, in order to eradicate those who opposed him, convened the Third Continental Council on the disappearance of the king. ”

Uganka said silently, his deep and slow voice full of endless wisdom.

After a few moments, everyone at the huge round table stood up, their hands folded, their eyebrows on their heads, and their heads bowed deeply.

"It's all for the sake of our god of light......" everyone in the room said in unison, indicating that the brief meeting of the Mystics was over.

Soon, Uganka staggered out of the tower, and with the help of a young mage, he gently raised his head, only to see the sky covered with clouds, as if a rain could pour at any moment. He patted the young arcane mage who was supporting him.

"Aidi, the clouds have arrived, do you know what this means?" Uganka's calm voice seemed to have gone through countless vicissitudes for a long time.

Eddie was the last of Uganka's students, and one of his most important students, because although she was a rather young girl, she devoted herself to the study of magic, and even surpassed the efforts of men. The knowledge gained is also far beyond that of students of the same age. Although her glamorous appearance made her suffer great discrimination and trouble, she didn't care about these. It was as if she was going to dedicate her life to the Academy of Arcane Magic.

"The clouds have come, and the wind and rain will ......"

Aidi said silently, and at the same time, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of her ruddy mouth. After hearing this, Uganka nodded with the same smile.

"Never use your eyes and ears to discern the truth of things, but use your heart to experience it. ”

Uganka's words obviously made Aidi seem to understand a little, she nodded silently, a pair of clear and bright big eyes, blooming with a morning dew-like luster, which made people never get tired of looking at it.

"Master, can't anyone believe what they say, even you?" said Aidi, quickly asking questions she didn't understand. At this time, Uganka closed her eyes slightly.

"Well, even the god of light himself said to you......"

Aidi carefully supported Uganka, walked down the stairs in front of the tower, and came to the wider square, where the mystic academy was located, except for any special classes, the mystic mage's students would be active here, or some people sat on an open-air chair reading a book leisurely, or some people practiced their magic on some wooden stakes, there was always a harmonious atmosphere here, even in cloudy weather.

Uganka and Eddie strolled through the academy's squares, greeted by the students who passed by them, and Uganka responded with a loving smile.

"Aidi, you have to remember that all creatures have hidden desires in their hearts, and when dealing with some things, you must know what the other person wants, this is the key. ”

"I understand that the master, the heart of desire, everyone has it, and you often mention it in your autobiography. ”

Hearing Edi's slightly immature voice, the gray-haired Uganka laughed, "What is your desire?"

Uganka's question made Eddie think for a moment, and then she looked up and said, "I just want to make the Mystic Academy better. ”

Uganka smiled slightly, as if Aidi's words had made him somewhat serious.

"I won't discern your words, but you have to remember that you have to control yourself all the time, the ordinary is the greatest wisdom of people, and the reason why I don't say it to others is because they still need those beautiful visions. And you and I want to pass on the truth to you, the deeper the desire in my heart, the more it will affect you, what you like the most, it will destroy you in the end. ”

Uganka said solemnly and deeply, which gave Eddie a deeper understanding of this sentence, but she couldn't calm down in her heart for a long time. They stopped, and Aidi quietly looked at Uganka's face that had gone through the vicissitudes of time, and nodded deeply.

"I remember, Master......".

Eddie once again strolled through the square of the Academy of Arcane Magic, and when they came to a student, they saw the student facing the stake in front of him with his head down, as if his heart was full of loss.

Seeing this scene, Aidi sighed and shook his head slightly, while Uganka raised the wooden staff in his hand and tapped his back lightly. The student hurriedly turned his head and saluted in a panic.

"Master Uganka......

His panicked actions were clearly startled by Uganka's sudden appearance.

"Moretta, don't be half-hearted when casting spells, your childish thoughts won't freeze the stakes. Uganka said with a slight sternness, which made the young Moretta in front of her bow her head even deeper.

"Aidi, you go and show him the simplest ice technique. ”

Eddie agreed, and left Uganka's side, coming behind Moretta, facing the stake. Just a moment when I passed by Moretta. An intoxicating aroma permeated him, and Moretta looked at her with a blushing face, her eyes slightly hooked upward, staring at the beautiful mystic mage in front of him almost motionlessly.

Aidi's hands were slowly raised, and he gently clasped them in front of his chest, waving them repeatedly. A cloud of cold light, accompanied by the swirling leaves under his feet, gradually appeared in front of him. Suddenly, Aidi snorted softly, her right hand instantly waved, and the cold gas in her hand was knocked out with a palm, and with a sound of shattering out of thin air, the wooden stake in front of her instantly froze into a huge ice block, standing in place like an ice sculpture, blooming with a faint crystalline light.

"Morita, you know what to do. ”

Seeing this, Uganka leaned on his wooden staff and slowly waved his hand to the Aidi. She walked back quickly, picked up Uganka again and walked into the distance, leaving only the lone Moretta standing still, looking at their departing backs, his eyes like the moon and the look of envy......

"Master, what's going on?"

Eddie and Uganka were just about to reach the gate of the Arcane Academy, when all the students in the vicinity ran towards the grille gate made of cast iron. They huddled there, shoulder to shoulder, looking out eagerly. With Aidi's puzzled voice, Uganka also saw the scene in front of him.

Trembling with his wooden staff, he walked towards the gate of the Mystic Academy, which was crowded with students, with the help of Aidi......
