The night grew darker, and the chaos in the academy continued

Looking at the horizon of Catrice City in the distance from the boulevard, the sky was completely covered in night, and the bright white moon and scattered moonstones in the vicinity dominated the sky. But on this side, the crimson flame color had not yet faded, and the air was illuminated like twilight.

The jewel-encrusted sky seemed to shatter at once, and the whole area was greeted by an unstable night. As if to suppress this commotion, everything fell silent, making the entire academy appear different from the daytime.

This is a panic that Cutrice Academy has never had, and although the vitality of the entire college city has been hurt, it is not yet on the verge of death. As if they couldn't wait to put it to death, the xenomorphs lurking underground everywhere woke up and were ready to move in the night.

In the academy at night, mages from different factions are active everywhere. They reveal a different side of peacetime, putting their knowledge and skills to good use in battle, using all their might to tear enemies in front of them to shreds with furious spells.

"This is probably the first time I've met you, Jon Fried. ”

Standing on the boulevard in the corner of the academy, Curt looked at Jon with a smile on his face and said, "Although you are now acting under the command of the 'True Eye', I still don't know if you have the consciousness to stain your hands with blood. While it's still time, I have some questions for you. ”

Hearing the words of the sickly young man in front of him, Jon looked a little nervous. After all, he didn't know much about this mercenary named Curt Leinst. Aside from the fact that he was Lizzie's brother, there was only a little information from the organization to the person who gave him spell orders.

The mercenaries under the Mercenary Management Office may be different from mercenaries in the traditional sense, although they are armed forces in the nature of a militia group. However, we also accept requests for assistance from the general public. Not as awe-inspiring as the Wizards, they are a group that is closer to the average person. Among them, the rank of iron is a title awarded to mercenaries with a certain level and experience, and it is a position that is not up or down.

Curt claimed to be an iron-level mercenary, and the badge he took out showed that he wasn't talking nonsense, but it made Jon feel incredible. He was just a member of the huge number of iron-level mercenaries, and he really couldn't understand how the people above could be interested in him and Lizzie.

So it's now. This answer was somewhat answered, and it was not for nothing that the True Eye paid attention to these two people, but they still seemed to be a step slower.

So in the face of the seemingly well-intentioned exchange of the mercenary in front of him, Jon could only reply in silence. He did not know if the sick young man was as "full of good intentions" as he appeared.

Ignoring Jon's silence, Curt smiled and began to continue the conversation one-sidedly, "It's not a complicated question, but I still hope you can answer it truthfully...... So the first question, Jon Fried, what's the most important thing for you?"

The Q&A began. Jon, on the other hand, stared at Curt in silence. The young Chinese mercenary still had a gentle smile on his face, and his godless eyes could not see the slightest fluctuation.

It's not that the question is unanswerable, it's just that Jon doesn't want to answer it. Exposing his weaknesses in front of others, and then being used as a lever by the other party, he has endured this life for a long time. Even a fool would not entrust the same task to another group of people.

"Don't you want to sue me? Okay, okay, it's okay if you don't say it, if you don't want to say it, just keep silent. ”

Curt smiled indifferently, and then threw out the next question: "I don't know what kind of background they are the organization of the True Eye." But their actions are undoubtedly against the law. Now that you decide to join them, there's a good chance you'll end up in prison and lose your freedom. Or rather. In some unreasonable battles, he accidentally lost his own life. ”

Can you understand thisCurt asked, looking at Jon.

"I know. ”

The young apprentice nodded reluctantly, if it weren't for some special reason, he certainly didn't want to be part of an organization with a bunch of madmen.

In other words, your left foot is already in the prison bars, while your other foot is actually in the grave. Even so, do you believe in the path you are taking, and you will not hesitate to become a lackey of a bunch of madmen and pay with your life to protect the things you value?"

Curt seemed to have expected such an answer from the boy, and after receiving the expected answer, he continued to attack Jon with questions without changing his face.

"This, uh-huh... Yes. ”

It's all about protecting those important things, and Jon has always used this reason to persuade himself. Therefore, he can only give an affirmative answer, even if he is not sure whether the other party will abide by this agreement, but in order to avoid the possibility of the fact, he can only obey.

As if disgusted by Jon's reaction, even Lizzie, who was concentrating on driving the spell, couldn't help but say "stupid" to express her disdain.

"So, the next question. After hearing Lizzie's disdainful comment, Curt suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, and the smile was rather weird, "JonJon?Fried, do you have the consciousness to put important things at risk and wave weapons at those who threaten you?"

Jon was really asked this question, and he needed to think about it. Now Curt and their actions are indeed preparing to attack the Eye of Truth, and with his ability, it is clear that he cannot hinder their plans in the slightest, but if he joins them, it will be a different situation.

Jon's family was not wealthy, but it was also far from poverty, in a small building just a few hundred meters away from the Slotan settlement, where Jon was born. His father was a Slot, and his mother was an Osatarian of imperial descent.

My father also seemed to be a member of a gangster when he was back home, and the Slote region was also in turmoil during the great war that swept the world. As a result, my father broke away from the organization and fled to Osattaria, where he opened a modest restaurant on the street.

He is the eldest child in the family, so he often helps his parents with work or takes care of other people in the family, and the family lives a simple and warm life. He will never forget the expression on the face of his family when he learned that he had become a sorcerer, and it was a smile that made him happy from the heart.

At that time, I didn't know what kind of trouble this would cause later, but every day I studied at the academy, I was able to acquire new knowledge, and I thought that I could change the life of my family by my own efforts. Until one day, he ran into a strange man who claimed to be from the True Eye.

Just after being tortured to death by spells, Jon became involved with the organization. To him, all the people in the Eyes of Truth group are a bunch of crazy people. It was full of murderous fanatics, and many more who were accused of doing the same.

That organization was definitely not the place he was supposed to be, and he knew that. His father used to recall the old life in the gang, and when he talked about the life of the precarious day, as if dancing on the tip of a knife, the pain on his father's face was still fresh in his memory.

Just like he is now, he actually wants to help the group of madmen attack the academy and wreak havoc in it. This is simply letting him destroy his hard-won life with his own hands.

So he took a deep breath, nodded and said, "I'm already enlightened." ”

Because the True Eye is not trustworthy at all, Lizzie is right, believing that subservience to them can be exchanged for a stable life is simply a dream.

"Good. ”

Curt clapped his hands, then turned his head to look in the direction of the Silver Tower.

Although most of the Academy's mages have achieved phased victories in their garrisons, these guardians have been successfully dispersed by the Eye of Truth. There is no doubt that after the end of the last big battle, most of them were exhausted and could not rush to other locations.

The roar of battle was still heard in the research area where the Tower of Silver Shine was located, and the brilliance of various spells continued to flash. Apparently having divided the vast majority of the Academy's garrison among the regions, the Eye of True Sight deployed its most elite forces in attacking the area centered on the tower.

But neither the academy, which had yet to take a breather, nor the true eyes that were chasing after it, no one on either side noticed that the forces of a third party had suddenly intervened into the battle. On the boulevard leading from the infirmary to the Silver Tower, a deep darkness was gathering.

It was a prelude to the coming calamity, and even the foreign object in the commotion was afraid of it, and hid and shivered in fear of it.

The darkness on the boulevard had never been so thick, and even the flickering fires that had flickered before were beginning to be suppressed by them. The shadows centered around Lizzie were living creatures, becoming the girl's extended limbs, her magic eroding the surrounding light, and then transforming them into a part of the shadows.

"What kind of spell is this, could it be that it is a shadow shape?" Jon Fried watched as the shadows around him became active under the manipulation of Liki's fingertips, and the magic around him made him feel a little uncomfortable, "And this magic shouldn't be a human form of magic!"

He looked around vigilantly, the shadows hoarding around them moving wave after wave like the tide of the sea. These virtual images were filled with the magic that Lizzie unleashed, giving Jon the impression that he was surrounded by the tide.

Darkness rises like a tidal wave, and something dangerous is coming. (To be continued......)
