Chapter 101: The Coming Storm

But all careerists, their abilities must be outstanding, this is true, only with confidence in their own ability, will give rise to a lot of unsatisfying **, Jerry Belfort is one of the typical characters.

Jerry Belfort was born into a very ordinary family in the South, his father was a lumberjack, his mother worked in a workshop, he inherited his father's business and came into contact with magic by chance, and at the age of fourteen, he enrolled in a magic academy in Gron.

As the northern frontier of the empire, Gelong taught most of the students practical magic that focused on lethality.

At the age of twenty-two, the Empire was at war with Salonia, and Jerry Belfort graduated from the Gron School of Magic as an excellent student and went to war as a member of the National Wizards.

After the One Year War, Jerry Belfort was promoted to the rank of Royal Magician, and two years later, he became an assistant to the Grand Magician Weston Malagigi Hastings.

Jerry Belfort, who came from a commoner background, did not pursue vanity like the aristocracy, he was a realist, power, money, status, this is what he needs, because in this way, his reputation is not good.

However, Jerry Belfort was indeed an outstanding talent, and as we all know, the Grand Wizard Weston Malagigi Hastings was indeed powerful, but the internal work of the Royal Society of Magic had always been managed by other magicians, and then the young Jerry Belfort took over the job, which lasted for almost twenty years.

Jerry Belfort is an ambitious guy, not only Weston knows, even King Eagle knows, but Jerry is also very cautious, never been caught, more than ten years later, the great magician Weston and King Eagle have gradually relaxed their vigilance against him, after all, there is a ** guy to control, isn't it?

The archmage Weston knows very well that Jerry Belfort is peeping into the position of the royal chief magician, firstly, Jerry Belfort has indeed made great contributions to the Royal Magical Society, and secondly, a famous wizard like Weston has a very light view of status and power, as can be seen from the fact that he has spent ten years looking for excellent apprentices everywhere.

It can be said that Jerry Belfort's ambition was further expanded with the acquiescence and connivance of the Grand Wizard Weston, and now, he has completely mastered the Royal Wizards Guild and expelled the two major forces of the wizarding world of [Vander] and [Reox] from the Sassen Imperial City, which is beyond the imagination of the Grand Wizard Weston.

Weston certainly couldn't think of it, and maybe he couldn't understand it at all, because the old magician was born into the upper nobility, and was taken by the holy magician to study with the mage Tafander since he was a child, and he almost never suffered any setbacks, while Jerry Belfort was disgusted with his own identity at a low birth and tried his way up the ladder.

Weston, who has not been in Sasson for a long time, how can he understand the mind of this deputy?

On a not-so-good morning, Jerry Belfort sat in Weston's place as usual, and he was in a happier mood than ever, because the dark clouds over his head had finally been lifted, and more than ten years of forbearance had finally paid off.

Although there are some small apologies to the Grand Wizard Weston, it is obviously insignificant compared to the rights he has gained.

"Tuk Tuk!"

Glancing at the office door with a teacup in his hand, Jerry Belfort said indifferently, "Come in!"

Knocking on the door was Jerry Belfort's henchman, the magician from Gron, Bell, or rather, Jerry Belfort had promoted him from the place.

"What's the matter, Bell?"

"President, it was that guy who wanted to see you last time, Prince Gran's henchman......"

"Hmm?" said Jerry Belfort, who was stunned and frowned, "come to see me at this time? What is going on in that fat pig's head?—call him in!"

"Yes, President!" Bell turned to leave, but was stopped by Jerry Belfort after taking a step.

"Wait!" called out to his henchman, Jerry Belfort whispered with his teacup, "I haven't waited for the official appointment, so you're going to call me Vice President as before!—I don't want anyone else to make a fuss!"

Looking at Jerry Belfort stunned, Bell smiled and nodded, "I see!"

"Hmm!" Jerry Belfort nodded, looked at Bell's back as he left, and muttered, "Be careful, I've been waiting for more than ten years, but it's not a ...... of a day or two," he said, putting down his teacup and beginning to meticulously review the papers.

Within a few minutes, Bell was leading an old man over.

Glancing at the other party, Jerry Belfort waved his hand to let his subordinates leave, and then said with a little mockery, sneering, "Hanpa, one of the legendary seventy-two demon gods, [Gray] is not your lounge, you can come if you want......"

The old man dressed as an old man was the demon god Hanpa, who Argus had left in Sassen to help Prince Gran, and he smiled slightly, not minding Jerry Belfort's coldness, walked to the chair in front of the table and sat down, and said with a smile, "With a character like you in charge, I dare to come if I want...... I came here today to discuss something with you!"

Looking at the hypocritical smile on Hampa's face, Jerry Belfort sneered, picked up the teacup and said lightly, "I heard that your master has been doing not well lately, and has been chased like a lost dog!"

"Hehe," said Hampa mysteriously, smiling, "how could my master, who has great power, die?"

"What?" said Jerry Belfort, holding his teacup with his right hand, and said in astonishment, "Impossible! The Imperial City has been shielded, how could he have come in?"

"Hehe!" Hanpa smiled at Jerry Belfort's question, but did not explain.

Looking at the other party's calm attitude, Jerry Belfort frowned secretly, took a sip of black tea, and said in deep thought, "Argus is back, so that means he wants to do it?"

"Huh, Your Excellency the Vice President, already knows?" said Hanpa, surprised.

"Hmph!" Jerry Belfort pulled out a letter from his desk and whispered, "This is a magical letter from Gretel Keynes last night, and the necromancers who have always disappeared have appeared in groups in Vandor, I don't think those guys are going to find someone to drink tea and chat!—that bastard Argus actually colluded with the necromancer?"

"Hey, it's too ugly to talk about collusion, the necromancer is the master's ally, and of course, your ally the vice president!" Hanpa said with a smile.

"Allies?" Jerry Belfort sneered, then looked at Hanpa and thought for a moment, frowned, and said, "You want to destroy Van Do?"

"It's Helireox!" corrected Jerry Belfort's remarks, and Hanpa whispered, "To take control of the Imperial City of Sasson, you must destroy Reox!" - we need your help!"

"That's crazy!" Jerry Belfort whispered, looking up at Hampa in disbelief, "You guys don't understand, necromancers are involved, it's going to be very troublesome!, if I help you, I'll be excluded from the Imperial Dark Mage!" he said, slapping the table angrily.

"I understand," he said with a slight smile, "so you don't have to meddle in this matter......

Looking deeply at Hanpa, Jerry Belfort shook the letter in his hand, frowned, and said, "You mean to say that you didn't see it?"

"Oh, of course not!" Hampa reached out and picked up the letter in Jerry Belfort's hand, and a black flame burned in his hand, burning the letter for help to ashes, and then he clapped his hands and said strangely, "That's it!—maybe the messenger accidentally lost it, and you have nothing to do with the vice-president!"

......Licking his lips, Jerry Belfort took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "This letter is from Gretel Keynes......"

"Don't worry," said Hanpa, who seemed to see through Jerry Belfort, "that old guy won't survive to confront you!"

As if hearing something terrible, Jerry Belfort clutched his heart, gasped, and whispered, "I hope you'll be so confident then!" - remember, I only work with the victorious side!"

"I understand!—we're not going to fail!"

"Whew," said Jerry Belfort, as if thinking of something, "tell that fat pig that His Majesty doesn't know anything about him, and now His Majesty has hidden in a secret place, and even I don't know, and the only one who knows this place is Clarence, the captain of the Royal Knights......"

"Peace of mind," interrupted Jerry Belfort, and Hampa smirked, "Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about it, we've got a suitable person ready......

"The right person?" Jerry Belfort was stunned, not reacting for a moment.

"yes, a great lad......"

As if thinking of something, Jerry Belfort's eyes widened and he muttered, "No...... It won't be ......"

"It would be a lot of fun to be killed by your favorite son, wouldn't it?

Looking at the smiling Hanpa, Jerry Belfort's forehead couldn't help but ooze a layer of cold sweat.

Too...... It's crazy!

Meanwhile, in Reochs, Soth was preparing to go to breakfast.

Ulrik was very satisfied with Reox's breakfast, an optimistic and cheerful vampire who did not seem to be affected by the dull atmosphere in the academy, and enjoyed a delicious breakfast.

Compared to Ulrik, the others were a little listless, the girls were because of the necromancer that the old dean had said, Alan was because he hadn't slept well all night because he was excited about Ulrique, and as for Soth, he was still worried about Sloth.

Looking at the knives and forks on the table, Soth couldn't help but recall his conversation with Sloth...... The white fog seemed to have faded a bit since he could hear Sloss more completely, allowing Thus to see his surroundings in general.

This is a very huge square, the square is erected one by one high stone pillars that can not be seen at a glance, the pillars are carved with monsters with teeth and claws, some monsters have human faces, the body of beasts, and some monsters, have the face of beasts, human bodies.

And in the center of these pillars, a black bear-shaped beast was chained to the ground by chains as thick as stone pillars, and a dark and deep darkness diffused from his body, and he was Sloth.

I didn't pay attention to it before, but now I see that Sloth is too huge, even if it is the ancient castle of Reoks, it is not as huge as his body, his giant palm slapped the ground, and the entire huge square was like an earthquake, he roared in a low voice, and the sound was like thunder on the horizon.

Compared with these, his eyes are more frightening, there is no so-called majesty, there is no so-called oppression, his eyes will make people completely eliminate their own sense of existence.

Looking at the pale red color, Soth suddenly had a strange thought, as if it didn't matter what happened in the world, friends, lovers, life, death...... It doesn't matter!

And when he escaped from the influence of those eyes, Soth felt fear.

Yes, it's fear!

If it weren't for the power of holy light in his left hand, perhaps he would have been affected by those eyes and chose to sleep forever. -- Similar to a kind of psychological suggestion.

"What did you just do?!" Soth asked with some anger after breaking away from the influence of his eyes.

But the behemoth...... No, it's Sloss, he glanced at Soth lightly, and said lazily, "I didn't do anything!"

"If it weren't for you, then ...... just now," he said, Soth's voice stopped abruptly, because he seemed to have a strange feeling that the other party was not lying.

As if seeing through Soth's thoughts, Slos lazily moved his body, and in the sound of clanging chains, he whispered, "It's you, you have to, look at me, eyes, little ghost!"

"Tsk!" pursed his lips indignantly, and Soth frowned and asked, "What is an apostle?"

"Apostle," Sloth blinked, and after a few minutes of waiting, he said lazily, "Apostle, apostle, what else?"

"You!" Thoss couldn't help but feel a little angry.

"Well," perhaps finding that he hadn't explained clearly enough, Sloth thought for a moment, raised his huge claws and pointed at Soth, and said in an extremely slow tone, "I, lend you, great power, but, reward, you, let me wake up!"

"Wake up?" Soth frowned, a little incomprehensible to the other party, he wanted to wait for Sloth to explain, but the guy stopped talking after he closed his mouth, which made Soth a little speechless.

"What the hell does that mean?"

"No, is it clear? What a trouble, ah!" Sloth looked at Soth helplessly, and said again, "I, ah, sealed, here, here, and you, a different world......"

"How did you wake you up?" asked Soth in a deep voice.

"Hmm," Sloth thought for a long time with his eyes closed, then shook his head and said, "Forget!"

"......" Soth was speechless, looking at this slow guy, he couldn't help but feel a little impatient.

Just when Soth couldn't help but speak, Sloth said slowly, "I only remember, two methods, one, I forgot, and one ......" as he spoke, he glanced at Soth, and said flatly, "Let me swallow you, and I can, wake up, but it will take a long time to recover, the original strength...... What a hassle......"

"What are you kidding!" Unable to help but take a step back, Soth sneered, "You think I'm going to let you swallow this guy?"

"Yes," to his surprise, Sloth agreed with Soth's point of view, and said slowly, "I can see that you still have a lot to do, it doesn't matter, I can wait, wait, you are about to die of old age, or, if you don't want to live, just let me, swallow your ......"

Who doesn't want to live?

However, he felt that this guy named Sloth seemed to have a good temper.

After thinking about it, Soth whispered, "Aren't you a demon, why don't you bewitch me?"

"Am I, a demon?" Sloth's tone was one of surprise and confusion.

"......" Soth was speechless, glancing at Sloth, and asked, "You don't want to say anything else?—you're sealed, aren't you?"

"Get out, it's troublesome," Sloth said weakly, lying on his two huge paws, "Actually, here, it's not bad, it won't be disturbed by others......"

“......”

What the hell is this guy thinking? Listening to the other party's words, Soth felt a little crying and laughing, and asked curiously, "Do you want to go out?"

"Huh?" was surprised, and when Sloth heard this, he thought about it very seriously.

"Get out...... It's troublesome, it's troublesome to stay here, it's troublesome, think ...... It's also a hassle......"

"Hey!" Thoss was a little impatient.

I saw Sloth change his sleeping position, and said lazily, "Still, go out, it's troublesome here!-let me swallow you?"

"No more kidding!"

"I can wait for you, do everything, and wait until you don't want to live anymore, or, when you're about to die of old age...... You human beings, life is very short, I sleep and it will be over......"

"......" looked at each other speechlessly, and Soth said depressedly, "Then why are you awake now?"

"Now, I can't sleep," Sloth said with a yawn, and said weakly, "in case, if you oversleep, you can't, go out, and wait a long time, it's troublesome...... Hmm, I am, do I want to go out? I want to go out, I don't want to go out, I want to go out, I don't want to go out, I don't want to go out, hmm, I think, it's troublesome...... Well, it's so troublesome to talk......"

"......" looked at Sloth who was talking to himself, Soth couldn't say a word, and the guy in front of him called Sloth completely subverted the concept of demons.

He didn't know that Sloth wasn't a demon...... "I don't have time to talk to you here, I'm going out!"

"Oh!" Sloth just answered, but didn't respond, which made Soth feel very weird.

"Don't you want to say anything more?"

"What?" asked Sloss, confused.

Holding back the depression in his heart, Soth said angrily, "How do you get out?"

"If you want to go out, go out, if you want to come in, you can come in, and the spiritual connection ......"

Soth really couldn't stand the other party's intermittent words, and said angrily, "You can't talk well?"

"Speak, it's troublesome......" Ignoring Soth's sullenness, Slos yawned and said, "Get out......!

"Influenced by your power?"

"Hmm!"

Looking at each other with strange eyes, Soth said in surprise, "Why are you telling me everything so honestly?"

"Deception, and troublesome ......"

"......" Soth opened his mouth, speechless, shook his head, and said angrily, "Aren't you afraid of being deceived by me?"

"No," Sloth said, shaking his huge head and pointing at Soth with his huge claws, "Sigil, Apostle, when you die, I will wake up!"

As if remembering something, Soth subconsciously covered his right chest with his hand, and he remembered very clearly that his right chest had a black tattoo after the dark force rampage...... "Tsk!"

This guy ...... "Soth?"

"Huh?" Coming back from his memories, Soth looked at Dia suspiciously.

Seeing that there were some fine beads of sweat on Soth's forehead, Dia took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat for him, and asked worriedly, "You have been calling you and you have not responded?

"Nothing, just remembering something boring!--Thank you!"

Smiling and shaking her head, Dia bit her lip and whispered, "I don't want to hear this from you......"

As if he understood something, Sos smiled a little and said apologetically, "I'm used to it, I'm sorry......"

Blinking mischievously, Dia said with a bit of shyness, "I don't want to hear this either!"

"......Huh? Pay attention next time!" Soth looked around and saw that there were only himself, Dia, and Ulrik at the table, and asked curiously, "What about the others?"

"Go back to your room and pack up your things, the dean wants us to leave the academy as soon as possible, saying that something bad will happen......" At this, Dia's face was full of sorrow.

"Are they the necromancers?"

"Probably," Nodding, Dia sighed secretly and whispered, "I guess they might be bad for the Academy......"

Patting the back of Dia's hand, Soth whispered comfortingly, "It's going to be fine!"

As if she understood something, Dia's face showed a little shyness, and she held Soth's hand with both hands and nodded slightly.

"There aren't a few students in the academy anymore, are they?"

Dia nodded and said softly, "Well, the people who stayed in Vando, the dean has already arranged for them to leave first, the power of the necromancer is very strong, the dean does not want to hurt innocent people, and now there are still in the academy, in addition to the professors, there are some students who are far away from home, and the rest is only us......"

Seeing Dia mention the professor, Soth couldn't help but think of Professor Hod, after returning to the academy yesterday, the lie of going to Opeirios was exposed, and several children were scolded by Professor Hod, looking at Professor Hod's angry face, several children were stunned that no one dared to squeak, including Soth.

Because from Professor Hold's eyes, they found that Professor Hodd was not angry because he was deceived, but because several children were angry because they went to Galik without knowing the severity, especially Soth and Lavia, who were taught by Professor Hodd for half an hour, and finally were pulled away by the unbearable Abel.

"Professor Hodd......" Thinking of this, Soth sighed depressedly, and suddenly, his peripheral vision glanced at Ulrike beside him, and saw that he was still eating breakfast slowly, and said angrily, "How long are you going to eat?"

Glancing at Soth, Ulrik swallowed the food in his mouth, then wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief with a gentleman's look, and praised with his hands together, "How fortunate I am to be with you!--beautiful city, delicious breakfast, Reox, it is wonderful, God, humblely, I thank you for your kindness, and pray that you will not hesitate to send the dawn of blessings, and bless me to be able to walk through this land and taste the most delicious food in my lifetime! I will thank you as your servant......"

"......" Stunned as he watched a vampire praying to the gods, Soth said angrily, "Don't worry, you can walk all over this continent alive without the care of the gods!"

"No, no, no," Ulrike said solemnly, shaking his finger, "Actually, I've been thinking about a question, why I was able to find that cabin in that blizzard, and now I understand that it was God's will...... It's God, let me follow you!"

"I regret why I didn't kick you out in the first place?" said Soth angrily.

Holding up a finger, Ulrique said solemnly, "This is also God's will!"

"You!"

Looking at the depressed Soth, Dia chuckled.

Perhaps, this is the last time to relax...... It didn't take long for Professor Hodder to summon the children and Ulrike to the old dean's office, and when they arrived at the office, the children found that all the professors who had remained in the house were already in their rooms, except for the professors who had gone home to rest, and those who remained in Reoks, including the old dean, a total of thirty-nine college professors.

Among them, most of them are professors for children such as Soss, and they are familiar with each other and have a good relationship.

In addition to the professors, Father Andrew from Thessalonia, his two assistant friars, and six Holy Inquisitioners were also here, which made the otherwise spacious room seem a little cramped.

"The room is a little crowded, don't mind," the old dean said in a deep voice, as he always chewed his pipe, glancing at everyone present, "I can tell you with certainty now that a catastrophe is about to befall in the Riox...... I'm sure the professors know too, right? The necromancers who used to disappear are now gathering Vandor, and if I guessed correctly, their target is our Heliryox!"

"Dean," Professor Raymond Beaught, the instructor of the Alchemy Class, asked, "the necromancers have been out of sight for more than a hundred years, why are they targeting us?

"Good excuse," said the old dean, knocking on his pipe, pointing at Father Andrew, "Argus, this Father Andrew has been pursuing dangerous elements in recent years, this man is very cunning, when he heard the news that we were going to Galik, he ambushed us on the way, fortunately we two old guys are not old enough to be bullied by a junior, but everyone, Argus has great power, there is no doubt about it......"

"Even the dean and the priest can't be subdued?" said Head of Grade Professor Manhet, stunned.

"Yes!" the old dean sighed self-deprecatingly, shook his head, and said, "Now let's talk about Argus's helpers, on the way to the Empire, Argus found several helpers, the legendary demon god and doom archer Lelagin, and the dark knight commander Simonli, who is also a demon god, the legendary most powerful Gangaro vampire, Jean Connell, and a young necromancer named Poole......"

"Demon God?" Professor Hodder looked at Abel, who whispered.

"Jean?" Lavia muttered in disbelief, covering her mouth.

"Gangero...... Jean Connell?" Ulrique frowned, his head bowed thoughtfully.

"Necromancer?" Alonso Calles, the instructor of the enchantment class, took off his thick glasses and wiped them with a serious expression.

"That's the case!" adding some tobacco to his pipe, the old dean took two puffs and continued, "Before we knew the situation, Argus may have joined forces with the necromancer, so those necromancers who came to Vandor are likely to be unfavorable to us Reox, I hope you should be careful, the power of the necromancer is far more than the literature records!"

"But Dean, why did the necromancer attack us Reox?" Professor Hodd asked, surprised.

"Hmm......" The old dean paused, frowned and said in a deep voice, "This is my personal conjecture: Argus may have contacted some forces in the Imperial City of Sassen, and wanted to take advantage of the period of succession to the throne to do something terrible......" he said, glancing at the professors and relieved. Don't worry too much, I've asked Gray's royal magician for help, Van Duo is not far from Sassen, and the royal magician will come to help us when the time comes, all in all, your responsibility is to escort the children of the academy out safely, although I have contacted the families of the children in the school, but the time is still too short, so, it depends on the professors of the academy, everything, the safety of the students' lives is the most important!"

"And what about Reox?" asked Professor Manhet, stunned, "if the Royal Wizard doesn't arrive, and we escort the children away, what about ...... And who's going to defend Reox?"

"If necessary......" Glancing at the professors, the old dean took a few puffs of his cigarette, sighed a little, and whispered, "If necessary, give up Reox!"

"Give up?" muttered to himself, Professor Manhet said incredulously, "Dean, Reox has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it can't be destroyed in our hands......"

"Well," the old dean nodded, smoking his pipe and whispering, "I know this very well!" As he spoke, he tapped his pipe on the table and said in a deep voice, "I estimate that this evening or tomorrow morning, those necromancers will attack us Reox, everyone go back and prepare, Professor Manhet, you are responsible for assigning professors to escort the students of the academy away, Hodd, Abel, Jassiu, Feith, the named professors will stay for a while, we need to discuss a countermeasure, everyone else should go back and prepare first!" As he spoke, he beckoned to Father Andrew and said urgently, "Andrew, tell me what you think......

"Well, everybody......"

Looking at the old dean, Father Andrew was deliberating around the college map on the desk, and the children went out under the guidance of Professor Manhet.

On the way, Dia uneasily shook Soth's hand, and Soth gently patted the back of her hand.

"It's going to be fine......"

"Hmm!"
