Chapter 16: The Brave
After reading the principal's email, Pan Long also opened the grades page.
On the page, his results have indeed soared beyond imagination.
Just looking at the text is not obvious, but looking at the "grade curve" at the bottom of the page, you can see that his results have soared to an incredible height just a moment ago.
Before, his performance curve had risen quite fast, almost like a 45-degree oblique line, and from time to time he jumped up a bar or two, just like the stock market in a good economic situation, rising steadily every day.
But at that moment just now, it can no longer be described as a steady rise, which is probably equivalent to ...... The feeling that a certain virtual currency has risen from hundreds to thousands all of a sudden.
Because it's so amazing, it even makes him feel a little "unreal".
He took two breaths and porked over the detailed transcript.
This record is unique to each character, and the Headmaster can't see it - according to the story, each Ready Hero has a magic guide core (presumably something similar to the game system), and can only check their own details. And although the general core on the principal's side can view the whole, it only has the function of viewing the whole.
If you want to know the detailed reason, you still have to ask each person himself.
Pan Long's eyes widened as soon as he looked at it.
[On August 18, 4399, at 8:40 PM, kill the Demon King Incarnation.] 】
"Lie in a groove!Demon King incarnation?!"
He turned his head blankly to look at the headless corpse that was still spewing miasma, and felt that his brain was a little unusable.
This is the Demon King incarnation? What's inside the seal?
Could it be that the Demon King has actually escaped and there is nothing in the seal?
How did it escape, and did the seal fail?
Or is it that the Demon King wasn't sealed inside at all?
No, if it wasn't sealed inside, why did it come back?
Pan Long felt that there was a mess in his mind, as if a group of Lu Ti Ha and a group of Zhen Guanxi were discussing how to cut pork, and then they fought again, and a group of Helian Tieshu came, and when they saw Lu Ti Ha, the western army, they rushed up......
In short, it's a mess.
Chaos is chaotic, and what needs to be done still has to be done.
Pan Long first replied to the principal.
"I just killed a very weird man in black, and the miasma it spewed out was like a fountain. The report says that I killed the Demon King's incarnation. ”
In the principal's room of the Wangdu Brave School, the old headmaster, who had white hair, jumped up suddenly, and because of the force, his head hit the roof and slammed into the bag.
He screamed, but when he fell, he accidentally knocked down the desk, and the things on the table fell to the ground, and the worst thing was that the ink was spilled, and it was pitch here and there, staining several documents that needed to be reviewed.
In normal times, he would have grumbled, but now he did not care about it at all, and rushed out of the door, like a mad wild horse, and ran down the road to the palace.
On the way, he happened to meet Teacher Gironde, who was in charge of the defense spell subject, and the thin Teacher Gironde didn't even have time to react, but he was knocked aside by the old headmaster who was hurricane, and the permanent magic shield on his body flashed like water waves, and he was almost injured.
"Headmaster, what are you doing here?" he couldn't help but ask.
"Something's in a hurry!"
As he spoke, the headmaster's figure had already ridden away, leaving only the dust rolling up behind him.
Noticing the situation, teachers and students rushed over.
It's time to break now, and everyone is free.
"Headmaster, what's wrong with him?"
"Is it a hallucination? I just saw the headmaster running out like crazy......
"Could it be that he got the news that his old lover in his hometown is divorced?"
“...... I think he learned that he had an unknown son. ”
"Does he really have an illegitimate child?"
"Maybe. Back then, he fought in the north and south, maybe he had a relationship somewhere......"
"A brave warrior and an innocent maiden, a romantic love story...... It's so beautiful!"
Seeing that the discussion quickly fell into baseless gossip news, several teachers hurriedly maintained order and scolded them, so that the boys and girls who had fallen into rhapsodyness came to their senses.
But the problem has not yet been solved, why did the respected old principal suddenly rush out? No one understands.
The first to know the answer was His Majesty King Chris.
"What?!Pan Long killed the incarnation of the Demon King?!" After listening to the headmaster's report, the king looked confused.
The incarnation of the Demon King...... Shouldn't it be sealed? How did you get out?
It's okay to run out, the demon king has great powers, and it's not surprising that he can do this kind of thing. And everyone did have a premonition of danger for a long time, and vaguely guessed a few points.
But after the Demon King incarnation ran out, he was killed by a prepared brave man before he had time to make waves?
"You're not kidding, are you?"
"Do you think I'd make a joke about that?" the headmaster asked rhetorically.
The king thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Pan Long is joking." ”
The headmaster was furious: "Please be serious!
The king shrunk his neck at his roar, and he had no choice but to retreat in the face of his old friend, who was so angry that his beard was about to float.
"Well, I'll get in touch with Anna and Lawrence to see if they can get some information through magic and prayer. ”
As he spoke, he wiped the ring on his left index finger with the thumb of his right hand, and soon, a ray of light was projected in front of him, and inside the light was the face of a depressed old mage.
"Chris, why are you disturbing old Lawrence's rest? I'm different from you, I'm already in my old age, and I really don't have the energy to talk at night. ”
"Lawrence, I've got something to do! Hurry up and tell me about the Demon King's resurrection!"
"I've divined many times, and I'm telling you plainly that the Demon King is really about to recover, and it won't be more than a year at most!"
"One more divination. ”
"No matter how many times you divination, it's the same!"
"One more divination!
The president of the Wizards Guild, who was so old that he had lost a few teeth, sighed, took out a crystal ball, rubbed it on it with his wrinkled hand a few times, and recited the incantation.
After a while, the crystal ball lit up, but it was not the purple red of the previous divination, but pure blue-white.
"Alas?!" the old mage was stunned, as if he had been transformed into a statue.
"How's that?" asked King Chris, who couldn't see the crystal ball.
President Lawrence came to his senses and stammered, "The sign of the resurrection of the Demon King, no...... It's gone. ”
King Chris and the Headmaster looked at each other and laughed.
But the king was more cautious after all, he thought about it, and contacted the Pope of the Earth Goddess Church, a former comrade-in-arms, Anna.
Her Excellency Pope Anna, a female priest who was about the same age as him but looked to be in her forties at most, was very calm, and after listening to his request, she did not ask why, but sat down in front of the statue of the goddess and began to pray.
A few minutes later, she gave the same reply.
"The trajectory of fate has changed, the crisis of evil has been removed from the earth, and the future of blood and lamentation is gone. Heroes beyond fate have turned the future around, and the world will once again usher in hundreds of years of peace. ”
She replied in the same calm tone as ever, but the unconsciously messy movement of turning the holy scriptures in her hands revealed the excitement in her heart.
The two most honorable old men of Chris's kingdom laughed at the same time, clapped their hands as they had done in their youth, and jumped up happily.
"I'll take someone to Black Skull Island now!" said the old headmaster, "I can't tell this by magic communication alone, I have to see it with my own eyes to understand what is going on." ”
"There's no rush. "Someone is more anxious than we are," said the king, "and I bet you that old Lawrence will soon come, and will not surpass—"
Before the words fell, the light of the teleportation spell lit up outside the door, and the former saint, now the Pope, slowly walked out.
"Huh, why did Her Excellency Anna arrive first?" the headmaster wondered.
The king thought for a moment, and then understood: "I see, old Lawrence must have gone to fetch Elu!"
Sure enough, a moment later, the light of the teleportation spell came back on, and the old archmage walked over with the support of the matriarch who looked much younger than him.
The four brave men who fought against the Demon King in the past have reunited after a long absence.
There was no pleasantries, and now is not the time to do that kind of boring thing. The Northland Ranger Patriarch Eru immediately urged Lawrence to cast a spell and send everyone to Black Skull Island.
Moments later, five people, including the old headmaster, appeared on the platform at the top of the Black Skull Island lookout.
Patriarch Ailu's eyes lit up like a cat, and after looking around, he immediately pointed out Pan Long's direction.
"That's it! There's a miasma that's rising. ”
The cyan wings of the wind carried them up, and after only a while, they flew in front of Pan Long and landed.
With a wave of Pope Anna's hand, the divine power turned into a maiden holding a water bottle, floating in the air, and then pouring the bottle down. Endless sources of holy light continued to fall, canceling out the miasma erupting from the headless corpse, making the sound of red-hot iron encountering cold water.
President Lawrence tapped his wand lightly on the ground, and a large magic circle emerged, a clear light rising around them. Countless miasma was forced out of the ground, but there was nowhere to go but to be purified by it.
Chieftain Eru cautiously leaned in and tried to stir the corpse's clothes with a spear. The clothes made of ordinary linen cloth were picked open by her as soon as she picked them up, revealing her scaly body inside.
"Yes! demons indeed!" she said with certainty.
King Chris searched everywhere and soon found the head that had fallen to the ground.
He also took out a spear and lifted the hood from the skull, and inside was a somewhat withered, but still very hideous and majestic face.
"That's him! I remember this face to death!" he exclaimed.
The matter can be determined at this point, and the five pairs of eyes looked at Pan Long together.
How did the Demon King's avatar escape, or was this Demon King's avatar not actually the one inside the seal?
Those questions don't matter at all!
The important thing is that this guy died on Black Skull Island before he could make waves.
Whatever the Demon King wanted to do, now he was a complete failure.
And it was this brave man who volunteered to send all this to the door.
He deserves the glorious title of "Brave"!
