Chapter 125: Nevelle's Choice
This incident obviously affected Seprano's mood to continue watching the hunting party.
He waved his hand and motioned for the others to leave.
So the members of the Cheung Kei Society lined up, and after greeting the fat wizard in turn, Yuguan walked out of the gloomy lounge.
Neville didn't leave the room cleanly, like the others, but stood hesitantly, the expression on his face a little uncertain.
Soon, there were only two people left in the lounge, Serplano and him—oh, and the wandering wizard on the portrait behind the door, he was half of it.
Seprano crossed his arms and stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, silently looking at the scene in the 'Eye of the Vortex', as if he didn't care about the lingering figure behind him.
The wandering wizard seemed to find this interesting, and did not say anything, just smiled and turned the telescope in his hand, and the camera slid over the two remaining wizards in the room from time to time.
Neville was the first to break the silence in the break room.
"Your previous invitation, I will consider it carefully. He used his words carefully, trying not to misunderstand Seprano.
He was talking about the invitation letter that Seprano had sent to him not long ago, inviting him to join the Cheung Kei Association.
John Nevelle Jr., who has just entered his sophomore year this year, is already a senior cadre of the Blood Friends Association, serving as the deputy director of the External Relations Department of the Blood Friends Association, responsible for the operation of many 'external' projects in the association, and the benefits are quite satisfying for him.
Therefore, when he received an invitation from Seprano not long ago, he was surprised and dismissive.
It is true that Mack King Seprano is a public scholarship student at First University, the vice president of the Alpha College Student Council, and one of the vice presidents of the Blood Friends Association, his boss.
But that doesn't mean Nevelle needs to grovel to the fat wizard.
He hails from the Star Academy, and his immediate boss, the head of the Bloodfraternity's Outreach Department, is directly accountable to Lord Augustus - all he needs to do is show a certain amount of politeness in front of Serplano.
Moreover, although Cheung Kei has performed very strongly, its reputation at First University is not so good.
Compared with the free and relaxed blood friendship club, in the mouth of the students of First University, Cheung Kei is a club with very strict rules - whether it is membership, club affairs, or withdrawal - this club born in Alpha College is like being raised from Jiuyou Academy, which has discouraged many Alpha students who advocate freedom, and with it, the reputation of this club in the other three colleges has also dropped a lot.
Originally, Neville came to this lounge today, intending to refuse the invitation of the fat wizard.
But the incident a few minutes ago made his understanding of Seprano a little deeper, and his original firm thoughts were also a little shaken.
He came from the Starry Sky Academy, and unlike the other three colleges, which were relatively civilized, the blue world was more violent and powerful.
Seprano's methods of governing the society were to his liking.
It's simple, it's brutal, but it looks effective.
However, before finally agreeing to Seprano's invitation, he still had some doubts to confirm.
“...... But there's one thing I'm curious about," Nivelle pondered, picking the right words, and asked slowly, "Why did you know it was Kitano Fog when I mentioned Sima Yi messing up the transaction before?
It can be seen that these problems have been suppressed a lot in his heart, so he uses appropriate words when expressing them, and there are almost no stumbles.
The fat wizard finally withdrew his gaze from the window.
He tilted his head, pinched his chin, and had a strange smile on his face: "Haven't you already been punished?" Eighty jade coins is a very profound lesson for Kitano Wu...... Do you really expect to see me magically skin him and marinate him in an urn to give to some great demon as a New Year's gift?"
It's a funny statement.
It's like a bad joke.
But Nivelle wasn't sure if he needed to laugh in agreement.
He simply stopped paying attention to these details, and asked directly, "Didn't he betray you......?"
"Betrayal? No, he didn't betray the Cheung Kei. Seprano interrupted Neville's statement, the corners of his mouth twitching, and his tone was a little low: "He's just a somewhat stupid brother...... I thought I was doing something good for my brother, but I didn't know that I ended up hurting two people. ”
Neville felt that there was something in the fat wizard's words, but for a moment he didn't fully understand it.
"As for why I know about this. Serprano glanced back at Neville, raised his left hand, revealing the five-colored tattoo on the Nameless, and said, "It's just a few simple spells...... Magic is always a great way to help you find your purpose. ”
"I think that tattoo is a monitor. The wandering wizard in the frame behind the door put down the telescope in his hand and laughed: "I found that this little fat man is more suitable to serve as 'Augustus' than the current Augustus...... I didn't have the ability to toss so many tricks when he was his age......"
Neville looked at the Ouroboros tattoo on the fat wizard's hand and shuddered.
He was a little hesitant about his choice.
"Do they all know what tattoos do?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Everyone in the club knows it. Seprano chuckled lowly, "But just like Kitanogen won't tell his family or professors about the eighty jade coins he was going to raise...... This is the rule between 'us'. ”
"But I still think it's stupid for him to take on that pile of debt on his own. ”
"That's why, the school's roster doesn't put you in Alpha Castle. The wandering wizard shouted behind Neville, "I must admit that the Alpha cubs, although a bit hypocritical, are still a very principled group of children...... Not as rigid as Atlas, not as oily as Jiuyou, and not as vulgar as the starry sky......"
Cerprano didn't care about the wandering wizard's interjection, but looked at Neville and continued to ask, "Do you know what Ouroboros means?"
"Purification. Nivelle replied immediately.
Although he was born in the Star Academy, he was very confident in his alchemy attainments, and even had the confidence to compete with the alchemists of Alpha. So to the question of the fat wizard, he immediately gave a standard textbook answer.
"Wizards' shackles. Seprano turned his gaze back to the window, pinched his chin, and sighed: "The real Ouroboros is not just the rune used in alchemy to purify materials and energy...... It is a symbol that represents eternal life, a cycle, and an infinite ......"
Neville took a deep breath and felt tremors shiver all over.
He had a clear glimpse of Seprano's ambitions.
A very arrogant ambition.
An ambition that moved his heart.
"So, do you want this tattoo?" the fat wizard turned and gave him a serious look, "With this mark, we can create infinite possibilities together." ”
Sunlight filtered through the clear glass of the floor-to-ceiling windows, blocking Seprano's body, leaving a heavy shadow in the lounge.
Neville stood in the shadows, silent for a long time.
He finally took off the hood on his head, and his blue-green eyes gleamed with excitement:
"What an exciting proposition......"
