At night, when most creatures close their eyes and sleep peacefully, the Xibohe Magic Academy welcomes some unfamiliar-looking guests.

In fact, not long ago, these guests were peeping around the school day and night. They were the kind of people who "would not feel disobedient even if they were regarded as enemies."

But today, these dozen former snoops were all invited into the main hall of the mansion and sat down at one end of a long table usually used by students to eat.

In fact, when it comes to this, someone must have noticed a certain key point - "invitation"? Who else would invite the enemy in?

Although the answer is almost ready to be revealed, if you want to understand the intention of "that person", you have to start from the place where the group of mysterious dwarf wizards attacked the snoopers of various forces...

"……coming."

Among the more than ten wizards present, someone reminded me softly, causing everyone's eyes to turn to the side door of the main hall.

And there, the wizard who had just led them in walked out of the doorway and quickly stood aside.

Immediately afterwards, an old man with a white beard wearing an old wizard's robe slowly walked out and walked to the side of the main seat with an indifferent expression.

But then, he didn't sit down.

"Bang bang bang——"

He waved his hand casually, and the doors and windows around the main hall immediately closed one after another, making a series of soft noises. Since no one was talking yet, the slight collision sound became particularly clear.

"Tonight, under my leadership, you will all conduct a unique and large-scale transaction. So I hope that no one outside is secretly listening to our conversation."

Up until this point, everyone present had remained calm... after all, they were here to negotiate deals with the "master" here.

Seeing this, the old wizard nodded with some satisfaction.

"Very good. Since everyone has already prepared their hearts, I think tonight's transaction will definitely have an ending that benefits all of us!"

"This is exactly what my master expects."

A wizard nodded in agreement, and the others also expressed their agreement sporadically.

Even though these guys come from different forces, when they all sit around the same table representing the people behind them, their interests have become unified.

"OK,."

The old wizard finally sat down at this moment, and raised his eyes slightly to look at both sides of the long table.

“I believe,” he said, “all those behind you have read the letter I sent to you and understood the general direction of my invitation to discuss this time...

Yes, the forces you all belong to are in the countries surrounding my Israeli magic world, but they are not at the top. Therefore, I think you will have some doubts about my invitation."

Having said this, he paused for a moment before continuing:

"But I have to say that the changes we need are actually the same - for example, the Horus family in the Egyptian magic world once was above the king's power, but now it is forced to turn due to the loss of a large number of inheritances.

Production.

But if I say that I am willing to give you part of the magic inheritance and help your family regain control of the entire Egypt... Do you think your clan leader will be willing to continue to expand with me?"

"What are you talking about-"

Listening to what the old dean of Xibohe said became more and more outrageous, the representatives of various forces present showed incomprehensible expressions. And the representative of the Horus family who was pointed out waved his hands repeatedly.

.

"Yes, the men you sent out that night were indeed somewhat beyond our expectations, but I have to remind you - even for us, the Horus family, they are definitely not too much to deal with.

As for what you said about helping our family regain control of Egypt..."

He was talking and didn't even want to continue talking.

"Forget it," the man shook his head and said, "It's the 'magic inheritance' you mentioned just now... Can you talk to me in private later?"

However, the old wizard ignored the other party's last words, and instead leaned back on the chair with a relaxed expression.

"After saying all these words, it seems that I haven't introduced myself properly yet!" He closed his eyes slightly and said slowly, "Well, it might be a bit too long to start from the beginning... I'll just say this.

!Someone once called me 'despicable Haierbo', I wonder if you... have heard of it?"

"Hmph, to be honest, I actually quite like this title..."

Before he finished speaking, a sea of ​​​​fire suddenly appeared in the hall in the blink of an eye, surrounding the entire long table. The high temperature seemed to burn the body and soul at the same time, causing more than a dozen people present to freeze immediately.

.

And at the next moment, in the sea of ​​​​fire that almost occupied the entire field of vision, various creatures made of flames suddenly jumped up, as if they were really alive.

"Fierce fire!"

Soon, someone shouted out this terrifying black magic word with a changed voice in great horror.

The Fire Curse is a magic that is equally famous even among ancient dark wizards - this kind of magic is actually not difficult to cast, rather, a wizard can learn it through practice.

But the key point is that it is almost uncontrollable.

Due to Lihuo's strong adsorption to objects containing magic, many powerful dark wizards are fascinated by it and try every means to control it.

But among those researchers, only a handful of geniuses have successfully found a method.

Oh, you ask what happened to the remaining researchers? In fact, it’s nothing. Those guys were just backfired by the fierce fire, and their bodies and souls were all burned to ashes.

Therefore, even in today's dark wizard circles, the Fire Curse is spontaneously regarded as a taboo.

Therefore, when these guys saw the flames that could change into the shape of living creatures, they were so frightened that they couldn't even speak. After all, if this thing got even a little bit of it, it couldn't be put out even if it was thrown!

Unfortunately, they guessed wrong after all.

"No, this... this, this is not Li Huo!" Suddenly someone exclaimed, "Look! Are they centaurs? Also, are those three-headed snakes? What's going on in the flame creature in Li Huo?

Will there be magical creatures?”

After he said this, everyone had a hint of hesitation in their expressions. But with such a terrifying scene in front of them, who would dare to risk their lives to try it out?

"Could it be...that this old man is playing tricks on us?"

The other person said something hesitantly, but when everyone else looked at him, he immediately stopped talking.

Not long after, when they subconsciously lowered their eyes to Haierbo one by one, they discovered that the old man had been leaning on the backrest with a calm expression and dozing off from just now!

As if he noticed that these guys finally calmed down a little, Haierbo slowly raised his eyelids again.

"I'm very happy, at least in this day and age people still know 'Lihuo'..." He said quietly, "But unfortunately, this is not Lihuo... but a new type of fire that I created based on the principles of Lihuo."

The magic..."

"I call it - Soul Flame."

"Theoretically, as long as there is enough death as a foundation, I can create a huge army of flames! As for their power..."

"Ministry of Magic!" The representative of the Horus family said suddenly, "You used this magic to burn the Israeli Ministry of Magic to rubble overnight -"

"'Overnight'?" Haierbo chuckled, "No, no, it's just half a No. 9 hourglass... Oh, I mean, it's only about 15 minutes!"

When it comes to the Ministry of Magic, even if it is a place that is not worth mentioning, the local Ministry of Magic is not an existence that can be underestimated casually. Because as long as there is a Ministry of Magic in that place, it means that a Wizards' Council has been established here.

The Wizards' Council, the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic in various countries, is actually a gathering place for powerful local wizards.

Even though the powerful ones are now deceased, some of the things they left behind are still well preserved. For example, the entire Ministry of Magic's defensive magic.

But Haierbo told them that it only took him a cup of tea to wipe out the entire Ministry of Magic. This was much more amazing than they originally expected!

"If you still don't believe it, I wouldn't mind picking someone to show you..."

Haierbo glanced at them one by one, and the coldness in his eyes made everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.

"Is anyone willing to sacrifice? I think that after the forces you belong to know what happened today, they will definitely be happy for your sacrifice!"

Just as he was speaking, he suddenly hooked his right index finger, and a hippogriff made of flames jumped up from the sea of ​​fire, spread its wings and flew over the long table.

Waves of fire spread out in all directions with the flapping of its wings, frightening those guys' faces to pale, and those who were still standing immediately fell back in a hurry.

"Don't worry, although it will be painful to be killed by my soul flame, the process of death is definitely not slow. I can guarantee that you only need to grit your teeth to die completely, and your soul will not be burned like Li Huo."

There must be no trace left!”

Haierbo looked at the pale faces with great interest, obviously enjoying the fear of others. But at this moment, he suddenly sensed a commotion of magic outside the mansion.

Since he had just cast silencing magic around the main hall and closed all the doors and windows, he did not see or hear any actual movement.

But as a powerful ancient wizard who can be said to be orthodox, his trust in magic induction is even greater than that of Maka, who is also walking on this path.

"snort."

A sharp look flashed in Haierbo's eyes, and he suddenly snorted coldly, which shocked the others. (To be continued)
