When the only train connecting the inside and outside of the academy approached the campus platform, a solemn-faced Chamberson was about to get off the train when a faint astral fluctuation was detected by the owl on his shoulder.

At the end of the carriage sat a lady with her long legs cocked high.

A black skirt-like robe trimmed with dark gold and a "weeping mask" with starlight teardrops.

"Professor Chamberson, don't worry, William, he'll be fine."

"Headmaster Daislin!" Chamberson immediately bowed, his eyes moving down to the ground, "William is my only student after all, and he is still a little worried, after all, the state of the first gentleman has plummeted recently. ”

"I've been doing astrological observations lately, and I've learned a lot of interesting things.

Among them is William's blurred lines, the wonderful future formed by all kinds of strange stars and divergence, his future will extend far and will not end here.

You don't need to worry about his subsequent contact with the first gentleman. After all, he is also a student in my academy, and it is only natural that I, the principal, will take care of him before he graduates. ”

"Okay."

"When William returns, let him come to my office tonight."

"Yes."

By the time Chamberson looked up again, Principal Daisling was gone.

The brief meeting made his worries disappear, and Principal Daisling, as one of Zion's [prophets] and also the most important prophet, took the initiative to show up to give such a statement, which naturally meant that Yi Chen would be fine.

……

Deep in the Mansion

The body of nearly six meters long was pierced by iron chains, restrained in the air, and suspended above the altar in the shape of a cross. Alexis felt the familiar aura of a visitor and slowly opened his eyes.

Yi Chen, who came here alone, couldn't help but have a solemn expression when he looked at the first gentleman, compared to the previous meeting, the first gentleman was more than ten years older again, and even revealed a feeling that the limit was approaching.

Full of gray hair and partially shedding,

The eyelids build up and support the eyeballs that may slip out,

His clothes were also more tattered, wrinkled and even white spots and tumors like his skin.

"William. Behrens, it's a pleasure to meet you again...... Ahem!

I hope you don't mind my decision to keep Professor Chamberson out of the house, because today in addition to the reward given to Skin, there is an important matter that needs to be discussed with you separately in relation to the development of the organization and the continuation of humanity. ”

"Yes."

Although Yi Chen's expression did not change when he heard this, a drop of cold sweat slipped from his scalp.

"As always, accept my skin first."

The iron chains connected to the four corners of the underground church were slowly lowered, and the first gentleman gradually attached himself to the ground, and as Yi Chen stepped onto the altar, the two reached out and touched at the same time.

The skin on the first gentleman's body began to be transported to Yi Chen's palm, and at the same time, the "gentleman's skin" he was currently riding was tested.

The latter was a little nervous, and every second felt very slow.

When the two were separated, a 20×20cm oversized "gentleman's skin" was neatly folded in Yi Chen's hand, and the first gentleman did not notice the existence of the yellow skin, and even showed a rather appreciative look.

"William, you have a good grasp of leather! It's rare for a gentleman like you to be able to perfectly handle 20% of the leather content without pushing the limits, looking at the history of the organization.

I am here to extend an invitation to you to be one of the candidates for First Gentleman. ”

Yi Chen noticed the key word 'one', and just as he wanted to think about it before replying, a voice came from his consciousness.

§Promise it§

"It's a great honor to be your candidate, and I'll go the extra mile."

Seeing Yi Chen's decisive agreement, a rare smile appeared on the first gentleman's face that was full of suffering.

"When you're done with the limit, use this skin to make your skin content just 50%. With your talent, you will inevitably be able to see more possibilities for leather and develop your own way of using it.

Time is running out, and the screening of final candidates may be held in two years, or even less, and hopefully you will be prepared. ”

"We will live up to your expectations! I will be ready to do everything in my power to compete with other candidates for this honorary qualification. ”

"Ahem! This screening will be completely different from the past, and it will require the selection of a human leader who is higher than me in the level of controlling the skin, and even the first gentleman in the past.

The rest of the candidates are also the elite of contemporary humanity, and the selection rules may be cruel and even beyond your understanding of the character of a gentleman.

But all this is based on the continuation of human civilization, and I hope you can accept it.

cough cough cough ~ After you complete the breakthrough, if there is a need for skin content, you can apply to the Shenpi Mansion. As long as you're sure you're taking in more skins and keeping them stable, we'll supply them in unlimited quantities. ”

"Thank you."

"Go do your thing, time is running out."

End of conversation.

Yi Chen made a gesture of taking off his hat and bowing, and then walked away quickly,

He was a little nervous when he first stepped into the mansion, but he was a little sad when he left, and seemed to taste the special emotions of the first gentleman from the conversation just now.

The other party used to be a genius with high hopes and unique talent and strength, just to maintain the stable output of the skin, maintain the pivotal relationship between the organization and the leather field, and maintain the stability of Zion, carrying such a special identity.

……

Ofarostik College. A

Yi Chen knocked on Professor Chamberson's office door, and then placed the distress feather on his desk.

"Sure enough...... Just listing you as one of the candidates seems to be me being too sensitive.

William, what do you think yourself? By now you should know exactly what will happen if you want to go down the path of a candidate. ”

"I've promised the first gentleman that I've decided to go down and try."

Yi Chen chose to completely conceal the Yellow Skin's affairs, including Professor Chamberson, who was comparable to his relatives, not because he was distrustful, but because even a character as strong as Chamberson still wore a costume made of "gentleman's skin".

Only Yi Chen knew about the existence of the yellow skin.

"Hmm~ as long as it's your own will."

Chamberson put the stack of papers on the desktop into a drawer, and he had even helped Yi Chen prepare all the documents he needed to run away just now.

As long as Yi Chen didn't want to become the first gentleman, he could quickly leave Zion and go to a human area that was not under the jurisdiction of the organization.

"Rest assured, Professor, I had deep contact with Duke Garrison in the Old World, and I was branded with the 'Mark of the Deal'. Even if I do become the first gentleman, I am confined below.

When the Grey Realm completely encroaches on our world, and the power of the Old World expands, I can get the Duke to fish me out at some cost.

The duke is a good talker, and as long as the money is in place, anything can be done. ”

"Hmm~ It's good that you have your own measure.

By the way, Principal Daisling asked me to pass the word for her, and I need you to go to the top floor of the Fetal Heart Chapel, which is the principal's office, tonight, and she has something to tell you alone. ”

Yi Chen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he happened to be thinking about it on the way back.

"Did the principal take the initiative to find me? Great, just in time for her to mention the improvement of the [Induction] level...... As long as the induction reaches the limit, the problem of breakthrough can be officially considered. ”
