"The devil's temptation? Old man, you have to know that only the devil's power can be used to deal with the devil. This power was born from taboos. Humanity has never retreated from the beginning."
Angers' voice echoed through the microphone like a devil's whisper.
The old cowboy was silent for a long time and hung up the phone.
He sat quietly on the recliner, raised his head and looked at the table not far away.
The only source of light in this room was an oil lamp that had been burning for who knows how many years.
This is not an ordinary oil lamp, but the formation eye of the huge alchemy matrix that is related to the entire academy. There are limits to human power alone. Even a strong man like him cannot surpass that limit. Therefore, only in the alchemy matrix can Only with this increase can his 'discipline' cover the entire academy.
And now...he is about to extinguish this oil lamp that has been burning for countless years.
Before he could make any move, the phone rang again.
"Hey, who's there?" the old cowboy asked calmly.
"Dad...Dad?"
The tone of the person on the other side of the phone sounded a bit trembling and full of awe.
Listening to this voice, a faint smile appeared on the old cowboy's old face: "Hi, Manstein, my dear son! Good evening? Is your cold better? I miss you very much!"
"But dad... I caught a cold three weeks ago."
The voice on the other side seemed a little embarrassed, "With the physique of a mixed race, this kind of minor problem will heal itself quickly even without taking medicine..."
"Oh, haha, I must have been here for so long that I almost forgot the passage of time." The old cowboy laughed and said, "I apologize to you, my precious son, I was negligent."
"No, Dad, it's actually nothing..." The corners of Manstein's mouth twitched.
"So what's the matter with you calling me late at night?" The old cowboy seemed to be unable to find a topic to talk about.
There was a brief silence on both sides of the receiver.
Manstein took a deep breath, hesitated for a long time and finally asked: "I'm sorry to disturb your rest, Dad, actually I want to... Could you please... I know this is probably against school rules, but tonight's situation It's really special. Norma believes that there is a dragon invasion, and their target is probably the very important things currently preserved in the academy... We need the power of the word spirit. Can you please... temporarily undo the 'commandments'? ? This is a request jointly made by Professor Schneider from the Executive Department and several of our professors who are staying at the school."
The old cowboy did not answer immediately after hearing this, but still looked at the lamp in front of him silently.
In fact, from now on, even when he was talking to his beloved son, his eyes and attention had never moved away from this lamp.
The dim light and the golden color in his old eyes complement each other, burning not only the light, but also the long-lasting flame in his eyes.
He has been guarding this light for decades, and there has never been a situation like today where he had to be released from the commandment by several consecutive phone calls.
Maybe this is the so-called 'destiny'?
The light really needs to go out.
Just like Angers said, a new era is coming, and old people like them alone cannot save the world.
"Sorry, Dad, my call exceeded my authority...I'm sorry to disturb your rest..."
Perhaps it was because there had been no response for a long time, so Manstein thought there was no chance, so he apologized nervously and prepared to hang up the phone.
But then the old cowboy finally spoke: "Oh wait, my dear son, I was just thinking...it will be your birthday in two weeks, right?"
"Um...yes...yeah?" Manstein was slightly startled when he heard this, "I don't think you still remember it?"
This couldn't help but surprise him. After all, everyone who knew about his relationship with this old cowboy probably knew that his unscrupulous father had never regarded him as his son. Ever since he could remember... had this guy ever cared about his birthday? ?
Therefore, when the other party mentioned his birthday, Manstein even burst into tears.
"Why don't you remember? You are my dear baby son!" the old cowboy vowed, "Well, think of it as my birthday gift to you? I will untie it for you right away." Commandments'! I am a good father who will break school rules for the sake of my son! How about it? Do you feel very happy!?"
"ah?"
Manstein looked confused, but before he could ask more questions, the call was hung up.
On the bell tower of the church, the old cowboy rarely sang old songs and danced in the room. The rusty gears on the leather boots under his feet creaked and turned, and the atmosphere became joyful.
He is in a very good mood now. Not only can he be able to temporarily relieve himself of the heavy burden he is carrying, but he can also lend flowers to Buddha as a favor to his lovely son. You must know that in order to maintain this damn dragon-slaying career, he has not even bothered to do his son's life-long affairs. Care, is there anything more fucked up than this in the world?
Of course... part of the reason is that he really doesn't want to care.
But it doesn't matter now.
Anyway, the result is good, right?
Anger was happy when he broke the commandments, his son was happy, and everyone was happy. Three things happened in one thing!
As for conscience?
It's not hurting at all, okay? In addition to being a night watchman, he is actually an excellent educator, and what he most often teaches his lovely students is that a person should have a bottom line, and just be three meters negative.
When you think the world is fucked, you have to be more fucked than it is, so that you can live a free and comfortable life!
"Come on, little ones... get ready for the devil's baptism."
With that said, the old cowboy stopped dancing.
call--
There was an inexplicable storm in the room with the windows closed.
The lamp goes out.
There was only one light left in the whole room, the golden flame flowing in those old eyes, replacing the light.
The moment the seal was lifted, almost everyone seemed to hear...the devil's roaring voice from the depths of hell resounding from the depths of their blood.
Come and try it quickly. 】
············
"How?" Schneider looked at Manstein and asked calmly, "If he doesn't agree, forget it, let's think about other things -"
"No, he seems to agree."
Manstein seemed to not believe his own ears. He scratched his bald head. After decades, could it be that his unscrupulous father had really figured it out? Is this the so-called belated fatherly love?
"Anyway, he said...he will break the 'commandment' soon."
"Not right away, it has been lifted."
Guderian on the side patted his old friend on the shoulder and smiled softly, "Your father finally did something that a father should do this time. How about enjoying the belated fatherly love?"
"this……"
Manstein's mouth twitched.
Looking at the pale gold rising in Guderian's eyes, there is no doubt that the commandments have really come into contact.
Now everyone in this college can activate their own blood, and the surrounding elements have begun to become violent. That is because the blood boiling in the students' bodies is causing the resonance of the elements.
If dragon blood is an ominous devil, then hundreds of bound devils are being released now.
Tonight, demons are dancing wildly.
Almost at the same time that Manstein reacted and activated his Word Spirit Snake and began to search the entire academy to find the intruder hiding nearby, someone reacted faster than him.
Mai Shutoku, who was already ready to go, opened her eyes. The golden light illuminated the gorgeous eyeshadow at the corners of her eyes, and her already alluring eyes suddenly became strangely charming.
She stretched out her hand behind her to signal, and then jumped out of the dark gap without waiting for the team members behind her to respond.
The ancient and strict dragon text was chanting in her mouth, and the surrounding light suddenly became dim. Finally, the darkness enveloped her, and her whole body was completely integrated into the night, seamlessly.
Yanling·Mingzhao.
The moment she landed, a field was formed, and the team members who jumped out after her were also covered by the field. Then invisible waves swept across her field, but it didn't make a single ripple, as if everything was lost in the ocean.
'Snake' is indeed a word spirit that is very good at finding things, but unfortunately her word spirit can interfere with the actions of 'snake'. The essence of word spirit snake is electronic waves, and her dark light can distort the surrounding environment. The light creates an invisibility effect. When the light is distorted, the electron waves passing through the air will also be affected. This is the dead end of the snake's exploration range. Just like if the light is alive, it will pass through this area. Just like being twisted without noticing, the same is true for snakes passing by here. They are not aware that they are twisted at all, and even think that they have explored this area.
"Follow my footsteps. You are safe within a two-meter radius around me. If anyone falls behind, then wish yourself good luck..."
She gave the command softly and started to move.
A group of people passed by like shadows, but the students patrolling around seemed not to notice.
············
"Senior sister, why are you staring at your phone all the time? Aren't you afraid of falling into the water?"
At the edge of the spring on the top of the mountain, Lu Mingfei and Chen Motong took off their shoes and placed their feet in the cold mountain spring.
Lu Mingfei stared blankly at the girl in front of him.
He originally thought that what he should care about now was the bare soles of his feet that were clearly visible through the clear spring water, but for some reason they started to touch the dark squares in the opponent's hands. It was such a waste...
But after thinking about it, he realized that he seemed to be this kind of person...a thief but not a thief. The most important thing was that the phone seemed quite expensive.
"Of course I'm waiting for a gift, what? Don't you have a gift for me and don't allow me to wait for someone else's gift?"
Nuonuo shook her feet and answered confidently, "I was born at 9:15 in the evening. There are still five minutes left. Now let's wait and see if anyone calls to give gifts."
"Forehead?"
Lu Mingfei felt confused when he heard this, "It sounds like..."
"It's like no one will give me a gift, so I, a lonely little girl, just watch the time and wait." Nuonuo continued Lu Mingfei's words half-jokingly, with a smile on his face that was hard to see. Find out whether she is telling the truth or lies.
"How could it be? Senior sister, aren't you and Caesar engaged? He didn't prepare a gift for you?" Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully.
"Are you really a fool?" Nono looked at Lu Mingfei as if he were an alien creature, "Rose music and dance, these are the gifts Caesar prepared. He has already given them, and I also said, I don’t really like gifts like this.”
"Why?"
"Never ask a girl 'why'."
Nuonuo spread her hands and said matter-of-factly, "Girls are creatures with different ideas than you boys. You give her all the love you have for her, but others may not appreciate it. Even if you give it to the wrong person, she will You’ll still be very angry. How about it? It’s scary, right?”
"Ah..." Lu Mingfei scratched his head, not knowing how to answer the question.
"So... it's best to stay away from me, little brother."
Suddenly, Nonotu suddenly saw him.
"..."
Lu Mingfei looked at the girl in front of him silently.
At this moment, the girl's eyes did not have a fearsome golden color, but it made him feel scary and strange.
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden..."
"Because someone warned me to stay away from you. So I can only warn you."
Nuonuo spread her hands, "otherwise you think I brought you here out of nowhere and said some inexplicable words to you... for what purpose?"
"who?"
Lu Mingfei asked doubtfully.
"Am I so obvious?"
"It's more than obvious."
Nuonuo's tone seemed a little helpless, "Your thoughts...can be seen through at a glance, just like you did to Chen Wenwen before coming here. Not to mention, you know, I can also 'profile'." "
"a ha ha ha……"
Lu Mingfei smiled awkwardly, unable to refute.
Is there anything more tragic than being exposed by the girl you like in front of your face that you like her, and then rejecting her directly in front of her?
"Although I can't tell you who that person is, he seems to know you very well."
Nuonuo looked into Lu Mingfei's eyes, "He said you are a guy who is easily bullied, and I agree with that. Guys like you, it's best to stay away from complicated girls like me. . Otherwise you will be bullied miserably. Let me think about it..."
As she spoke, she banged her head as if in deep thought. She seemed to be thinking about something, not caring that she had scolded herself just now.
"I'm sorry, it's a little hurtful to say it, but even if I know how to profile, I really can't think of what kind of girl is suitable for you... You should know it yourself, right? Even if it's Chen Wenwen who is the most in line with the personality of an ordinary girl Girls are too difficult for you. The key to the problem is not with us, but with yourself..."
"I... am too weak." Lu Mingfei lowered his head.
"You are self-aware, this is your advantage." Nono curled his lips slightly.
She felt bad about letting the guy be a little more accurate.
But this was to be expected... From the first moment she saw Lu Mingfei, she knew what kind of boy he was.
