According to the instructions of Grand Magician Gretel Keynes, Dean of Reox, Professor Hodd took Jiang Zhe and several other children to the high-profile mage Tavandel, in order to bring back to Reox Academy's only granddaughter and only relative of the old dean Cairns, who had studied astrology here more than ten years ago.

Because to find Argus's dangerous man, she needs her strength now.

And when Jiang Zhe and the others arrived at the mage Tafandel, where was Argus?

At this moment, he is actually in the far north, watching the surrounding environment gradually become barren, and further northwest, I am afraid that it is Artac, the northwest border of the empire, what is he doing here?

"It's terrible, I don't even have a ...... to buy dry bread," muttered something, and Argus, dressed in his usual long black coat, leaned against a rock, playing with something with his right hand, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be two silver coins that were slightly jet-black.

"Hmph," said his companion mage Poole, taking a sip of the water bladder, then looking at Argus and shaking his head, "Sometimes, I feel like I really can't see through you......"

"Oh?" Argus smiled and asked, "Why?"

"What else could there be?" Plugging the water bladder's stopper, he casually threw it to the Black Knight Simonli, not looking at the latter's low growl of dissatisfaction, and turned to Argus and said, "Argus, I know you have the power of a great magician, and ...... Maybe it's more than that...... I really don't know how to explain that you, with all your great power, would ask an ordinary civilian for two dry bread in a low voice, I ......"

"Hey," interrupted Poole dissatisfiedly, and Argus said with a little amusement, "I was going to buy them from him?

"That's your ......"

"Hehe, I know what you're trying to say, but ...... Poole, my dear companion, even though it was just a civilian, but he helped me...... You should be grateful, you also ate that bread......"

"I really regret that I ate it!" Poole muttered hatefully, then sneered, "And you still plan to destroy this country?"

Suddenly, Argus's expression sank, and he said in a very serious and serious tone, "Those are two different things, my dear companion!", and he said with a cold smile, as if reminiscing, "Perhaps it is not a bad thing for them to destroy this country?

"Hmph!" Poole was slightly stunned, then sneered and said, "I don't think you look like a dark mage at all, but a little like those guys in the Holy See, very hypocritical!"

"Holy See?" Argus smiled faintly, shook his head, looked at Poole and said mysteriously, "You're right, once upon a time, I was also a supporter of [God]!"

“......”

"But that's only once," said Argus, ignoring a stunned Poole, looking up at the sky, and softly, "God says, "I am your Lord...... Hold fast to the word of the Lord and never reject the name of the Lord, and the Lord will open the door before him, and no one can close it......" He paused, looked at Poole with an inexplicable expression and said, "This is a big lie! That door has never been open to me......"

"Argus?"

"Later, I realized that all this is just a deception, what a lord, what a god, what a gate, there is no god in the world at all, even if it did exist, and now it is still gasping somewhere, it has nothing to do with me," said Argus, raising his right hand, slowly clenching his fist, and said in a condensed voice, "This world, originally the world of the jungle, the weak, at best, is just the bones under the feet of the strong, if you want not to be trampled by others, then there is only one way, that is, to stand in the highest place......" Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Poole, clenched his fists and said word by word, "Everyone, will be under our feet...... Including the so-called gods!"

"......" Listening to the man's quiet, but shocking words, Poole felt as if his heartbeat had stopped for a moment.

This man is dangerous!The subconscious reminded Poole again and again.

"Hehe," Poole laughed, surprised even himself, how long had it been since he had been a reviled necromancer?

"I'll follow you to the end," Poole smiled heartily as he looked at Argus, "and I'll watch with my eyes to see if you're going to trample everyone under your feet or if you're being trampled under your feet......"

"Of course!" Argus laughed, then pointed at Poole, "but not you, you are my companion, and together we will stand at the top of the world!"

“...... Phew!" Poole shook his head and said, "You know, Argus, you're really a terrible guy, and your words are full of temptation all the time......" he said, he paused, looked at the barren land around him, frowned, and said, "But I don't understand, why are we here here?"

"No, no, no, it's not there yet," Argus said, shaking his finger and pointing at Simonley, "Clark, tell us about that fellow!"

"Yes, master!" the black knight in heavy armor nodded, glanced at Poole with a somewhat displeased look, then turned and pointed farther north, "Master's ambition needs the strength of Lelagin, and this guy is no worse than that damned pigeon in provoking war...... That damn pigeon will only use his inferior abilities to bewitch others, but Lelagin's ability is to make others violent and kill from the depths of his heart, as long as war breaks out wherever and wherever he is...... Moreover, Larakin himself is very strong, and it is not at all comparable to that damn pigeon!"

"Lelagin?" Poole frowned and recalled, musing "I know the name, the fourteenth-ranked Demon God, a very powerful fellow......"

"Powerful?" Poole's words reminded the Black Knight of something, only to see him glaring at Poole with angry eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Humans, the ranking of demon gods is not divided according to strength, don't look at that damn pigeon ranked thirty-eight, but I can pinch him to death with one hand!"

"Hmm?" The black knight Simonley's harsh tone did not make Poole feel angry, on the contrary, Poole was full of doubts in his heart, and asked curiously, "I have never been able to figure out this matter, what is the ranking of your demon gods based on?"

The black knight hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Argus, and untied the armor of his right arm with his left hand, only to see that on his huge right arm, a number was tattooed in black letters, 'Sixty-six'.

"There is a fault in my memory, I don't remember anything about the beginning, the only thing I remember is that I am a Black Knight named Clark Simmonley, the commander of an army of the undead...... Demon GodThat's just what you humans call us, we don't know what we are, human, demon, or undead? We don't know why we're here, we can't remember the reason, the mission...... Do you know how uncomfortable it is to live without a purpose?"

"Now I see," said Poole with a smirk in response to the Black Knight's words, "just like Hanpa, he destroyed the glorious ancient kingdom of Thrand because he was too idle......," he said, pointing to Argus and asking Simonley, "So, why are you chasing this guy?"

I saw Simonley frowning and glancing at Poole, and said in a low tone, "First of all, I am a warrior, and the bloody battlefield is what I desire, and ...... The master promised me that he would help me conquer the realm of the dead!"

"The Dead Realm?" Poole looked at Argus incredulously and said, "You're kidding, Argus, it's impossible to conquer there!"

"Why can't it be?" Argus asked rhetorically, smiling.

"Do you know where the Death Realm is? You as a dark mage don't know these things better than I do!

"The gods say they are eternal, but don't legends say they have fallen?" said Argus, with a long sigh, clapping his palms, and said nonchalantly, "Perhaps you have misunderstood something, my dear companion, when I say standing at the top, I mean the top!"

"......" looked at Argus in disbelief for a while, and Poole shook his head again and again, muttering, "I feel more and more that you are crazy, Argus...... I'm crazy to agree to follow you......" he said, "all right, why don't we get that Lelagin out quickly......?"

"Hahaha!" Laughing heartily, Argus shook his head and said, "Don't worry, don't rush, I said that they won't push us too much until they understand our purpose, and of course, by the time they do, it's too late...... Besides, even if we find Lelagin, we still lack a companion......" As he spoke, Argus's words came to an abrupt end, and he stood up with a solemn expression, looking inexplicably into the air.

Seeing that Argus's actions were somewhat erratic, Poole asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Argus scanned his surroundings sharply and whispered, "I feel like someone is watching us......"

"Looking at us?" Poole was stunned, and then looked around, but this was just an empty barren place, where was there any place to hide?Out of caution, he also used his mental power to perceive all the life around him, you know, the necromancer is very sensitive to life.

But the end result was that there was not a single living life around but them.

Dissatisfied, Poole frowned and said, "It's all like this, what are you kidding, Argus!"

But to his surprise, Argus's expression was still serious, and he kept looking at his surroundings, and then suddenly stared at the air in the upper right in front of him, and with a somewhat playful smile, he whispered, "It seems that you are right, my dear companion...... If we don't speed up the action, we will indeed be in big trouble......"

Listening to Argus's tone not like a joke, Poole frowned and said, "Is there really anyone......?"

"People aren't here," interrupted Poole, and Argus squinted at the empty spot, then suddenly smiled and whispered to Poole, "Poole, have you ever heard of astrology? a ...... of prophecy."

"Astrology?" Poole was stunned, and suddenly understood, and said in astonishment, "Why is Fandel involved......?"

"Hehe," he smiled and glanced at the place again, and Argus suddenly turned away, his smiling expression suddenly becoming serious.

"Looks like we don't have time to wait for someone here to bring us food...... Even Vander is involved, so you really have to speed up, go!"

"Hmm!"

At the same time, Abel, who was far away in the mage Tafandel, was sitting at the long table in her room, her eyes closed, and the crystal ball on the table with her hands in her hands.

Suddenly, she frowned and said in a somewhat surprised tone, "He...... That guy found out?"

"What discovery?" Professor Hud, who was standing at the long table with a worried face, hurriedly asked, "Did he find you?"

"Hmm...... I think I found ...... Damn it, you dare to smile at me," muttered, with her eyes closed, and Abel gently stroked the crystal ball with both hands, and whispered, "One, two, three...... He's not just a guy like you say...... If your description is correct, it was that Argus who discovered me, and he had two companions, one in blue-gray armor, a pattern I have only seen in very old books, a warrior or knight, with no face in sight...... There is also a gray magic robe covered with a gray magic robe, and the face is also not visible......"

"Companion?" Professor Hodd frowned, after all, he had fought Argus, and he could definitely feel that the strength of the other party was clearly above his own...... Above himself, that's the level of the Great Magician...... Such a guy, even if he is the only one, is very difficult to deal with...... "What are those two called?"

As Professor Hodd asked, Abel slowly opened her eyes, shook her head, and said, "It's strange, I can't hear them, maybe they've blocked out their voices with barriers...... It's very cautious!"

"Can't hear what they're saying?" Professor Hodd asked, opening his mouth, "and if you can break that barrier?"

I saw that Abel glanced up at Professor Hodd, and said angrily, "You don't say nice things except to keep asking for it? You know what? That guy's real name isn't Argus at all, do you know how much effort it took me to find him?

"......" I saw that Professor Huo De was full of embarrassment when he was said, and he was stunned for a while, before he said, "That...... Thank you, Abel......"

"Hmph, I don't accept insincere thanks!" said Abel, rubbing her forehead a little tiredly, waving her hand at Professor Hodd, "Okay, I've already done what you asked, those three people, they're heading north, anyway, it's either Artak or Brisco, and they won't go to the territory of the dwarves, right?"

"Well," Professor Hodd said, nodding, "but Artac and Brisco are in about two directions, one in the northwest and one in the northeast, so you can find it...... Don't ...... anymore"

"What?" Before Professor Hodd could speak, he saw Abel slap the table lightly and said angrily, "Hodd, you hateful bastard, are you willing to exhaust me to death?"

"No, no...... I didn't mean that......"

"Then what do you mean?!"

"I ...... I ......"

Looking at the stammering Professor Hodd, Abel's eyes couldn't help but show a somewhat triumphant smile, and then seeing his face full of guilt, she couldn't bear to say, "Okay, forget it, but it's not going to work in the past two days, that guy has already noticed something, and he must be more cautious in the future, and besides, that guy is a dark mage, right? If you want to find a dark mage, it's okay once, but it's hard to find him twice or three times...... You know, dark mages are people who hide in the shadows and hurt each other, and they know how to 'hide' themselves......"

"Well, you're right!" Professor Hodd nodded in agreement.

Taking advantage of this time, among the little guys who had been standing aside and waiting quietly, Jiang Zhe saw that the conversation between the two seemed to be almost finished, so he interjected and asked the question in his heart.

"Professor, is the Argus you're looking for really the guy we met?"

Not only Jiang Zhe, but even Allen, Scott and Lavia were deeply suspicious of this, in their impressions, that Argus was just a very ordinary person, and he was very poor, and the most valuable things on his body were the two silver coins hidden in his pocket...... How could he be the most dangerous man in the Professor's mouth?

Looking at the doubts in the eyes of several little guys, Professor Huo De nodded and said in a deep voice, "Children, you must remember that judging people by their appearance is the most undesirable, and that man's strength is very strong......"

"I don't see it......" Alan twitched the corners of his mouth strangely.

"Be stronger than me!"

"......" Glancing incredulously at Professor Hodder, Scott said thoughtfully, "Did the professor fight Argus?"

"Well," Professor Hodd said, nodding his head, reminiscing, "I had almost used all my power at the time, but I still couldn't help him...... Not to mention that he couldn't help it, and he couldn't even hurt him, you know, he was already badly injured before he fought me......

"Is that really that person?" Lavia covered her mouth in surprise, remembering that when Argus said that he was being hunted down by a powerful person, she thought he was talking nonsense, but now it seems that maybe it is true...... "Professor, is he a bad person?" Alan asked, tilting his head.

I saw Professor Huo De open his mouth and wanted to say something, but he held back, nodded and shook his head, and then said, "The so-called good people and bad people are not absolute, just like at the beginning, he was very friendly to you, and after accepting your food, he was still secretly protecting you...... But in the same way, he slaughtered the inhabitants of a village in Thessalonia, trading the souls and blood of innocent villagers with demons for power...... Alas!" he let out a long sigh.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little gloomy, coupled with Professor Hodd opening and closing his mouth Argus, Abelle obviously felt a little depressed, only to see her bite her red lip slightly, roll her eyes, suddenly chuckle, smiled at a few little guys and said, "Little guys, do you want to see what you will look like in the future?"

"In the future?" Jiang Zhe's expression was a little puzzled, and he asked in surprise, "Is it really possible to predict what will happen in the future with astrology?"

"Of course," said Abel, with one hand on her cheek, and she giggled, "astrology is a prophetic magic, use it to find ......people," she said, glancing at Professor Hodd, sighing and shaking her head, much to Professor Hold's embarrassment.

"That," Squeezed Jiang Zhe aside to stand at the long table, Alan pointed to himself with great interest and said, "Can you see what will happen ten years from now?" I want to see my future wife...... Hey, hey!"

"How old are you little devil, just thinking about this?" said Abel, glancing at someone, and said meaningfully, "Wait until you grow up...... Of course, don't learn from your professor, how old is it, it's still a ...... alone" said, she grabbed ahead of the embarrassed and inexplicable Professor Hodd, and said to Allen, "Okay, just help you this time, it may not be possible in ten years, but it can still be done in seven or eight years......"

"Abel, didn't you say that astrology is the most mentally draining?" Professor Hodder said with a strange expression.

"......," she felt her heart skip a beat, and Albert said to herself, "yes, but I'm happy to fulfill the wishes of these children...... Who's like you, open your mouth and shut your mouth, Argus, what's wrong with him?

"No," Professor Hodd shook his head helplessly, explaining again, "the Dean also said that Argus is a very dangerous man, and may cause damage to the Empire, or even the world......"

"So what? What will become of the Empire, what will become of the world, what does it have to do with me? I am not the Royal Magician of the Empire, can this kind of thing be my turn as a woman? Hmph!"

"That's not what I said......" As he was speaking, Professor Hodd looked at Abel's resentful and angry eyes, and suddenly lost his head, shook his head and said, "Okay, whatever you want!"

"Giggle," snickered in satisfaction, and Abel turned to look at the little ones and whispered, "So, who's going first?"

As soon as Abel's words fell, Alan hurriedly raised his hand and said hurriedly, "I'm first, I'm first!"

This kind of faux pas made Scott very dissatisfied, but with Abel there, he didn't say much, just muttered in a low voice, "No one is arguing with you...... Be careful!"

Apparently Alan didn't have time to listen to Scott's grumbling about it right now, and his whole mind was on the crystal ball.

"Then you come first, little one, oh, by the way, your name is Alan, right, I'll say okay first, this prediction of the future is not something I can control, then it depends on your own luck, if you are lucky, you can see your future wife, okay, close your eyes, relax your whole body......" said Abel, her left hand stroked the crystal ball, and her right hand slowly raised, pointing at Alan's forehead...... For a moment, Alan felt a weightless dizziness, and when he opened his eyes again...... "This—here'...... Where is it?"
