The Dean Has Arrived

On the border of Signoma, in the Stone Fields. // welcome to read//

Although it has the name of a wilderness, in fact, due to weathering and soil erosion, this area is full of towering stone pillars and strangely shaped gully caves.

As the hideout of the rebels who are opposed to the authority of Timothy's Dark Alliance, there is no better place to hide.

"Master Edric, are you really leaving?"

In a fairly hidden cave, the young man wearing simple leather armor and half of his face with a bandage asked anxiously.

A machete that was still stained with blood and had a few gaps was tied around his waist, and he also had a lot of scars on his body, and his expression was full of the fierce aura tempered through the fighting on the battlefield.

It's just that this young man who was full of murderous spirit showed a reluctant expression like a little boy when facing Xi Wei.

He will never forget how this person in front of him integrated the stragglers who survived the demon invasion, and pulled out an army with high morale out of thin air in the villages that were previously mermaids.

Even the weapons they used were provided by this adult with magical spells.

Although they have gained fame now, even if this lord is gone, there are still many young people in the village who are eager to try to become a member of their rebel army, and many human weapon merchants have also expressed their willingness to secretly provide them arms.

But almost all of this is due to the adult in front of him.

"Johnny, as the leader of the rebel army, you can't always be so sentimental."

Xi Wei smiled and patted the young man on the shoulder.

"Without you, there would be no Rebels at all!"

Unlike ordinary members of the Rebel Army, as a former senior colonel of the zhengfu army, Jonny knew very well that this gentleman was not just a scholar-type traveling mage with no power to restrain himself, as he appeared on the surface.

If it weren't for him, the rebel army would have been wiped out countless times by Timothy En's demon army.

"If you want, even if I give up the position of leader of the rebel army..."

In the middle of Jonny's excited speech, Xi Wei silenced him.

"The leader of the rebel army can only be you. You led your subordinates and defeated the enemy's demon army time and time again. Your prestige, your image, and your words have already penetrated into the hearts of every member of the rebel army. Psychology." Xi Wei explained to Jonny with a smile on his face: "Only if you are at the front, the morale of the rebel army will be high."

"Did you...have you prepared for this from the beginning?"

Reminiscing that Xi Wei would hide behind the scenes to make plans every time he fought, and only let himself show up, Jonny's face was complicated.

"Listen Johnny, I'm a wizard."

Xi Wei continued calmly: "I'm not the enshrined mage of that noble or royal family, I'm not a member of the Qiyao mage tower mage council, or even a believer in the sacred light. I will not be bound by any terms or rules, I am just a person who likes to study He Zilu is just a magician who keeps traveling in the eastern plains. So, no matter what happens, I will not become the leader of the rebel army, do you understand?"

"But……"

Johnny turned around and punched the rock wall, and a dent was immediately punched out of the not-so-hard wall. His tone was full of confusion and unwillingness: "But if you are no longer here, how can you resist?" What should the army do? Where is our future?"

"All the affairs of the rebel army are on the right track. The only thing missing now is the accumulation and running-in of time."

Xi Wei scratched his head, and reluctantly gave this leader who lacked a little bit of self-confidence one last piece of advice: "What you want to think about now is not how to maintain 'my' resistance army, but how to form 'your' own resistance army military."

As he said that, he showed a gentle smile again as if looking at his students: "No problem, just believe in yourself more, you are a guy who can do well if you want to do it."

Jonny turned his head and looked at Xi Wei. The eye that was exposed outside the bandage couldn't help but shed tears of emotion.

"Master Edric..."

"Compared to this, I'm actually more worried about your left eye."

Xi Wei changed the subject, sighed, and the expression on his face became serious again: "I have already said that? Although the bastard has great power, it will bring misfortune to the user at the same time... Do you regret it now?" If you have time, I can help you take it out."

"Well, I've already decided. I want to be as great as Sir Edric."

Jonny nodded, put one hand on his bandage-wrapped left face, and said with the same serious expression: "Besides, if it wasn't for the bastard you gave me, I would have died in the battle yesterday." More comrades in arms...even if it is to protect them better, I can't give up this bastard!"

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything more. Sharan and Sophia are still waiting for me outside the cave. See you next time."

Xi Wei took two steps back: "May the Qiyao Goddess protect you."

"May the god of war protect you."

After saying goodbye to the other party, Xi Wei took Shalan and Sophia and headed west in the hog-tooth car provided by the rebel army.

It's just that they didn't go far, and the vampire princess in a bright red princess dress and her entourage, the great demon Asachel, appeared in front of them.

"Our family has been waiting for you for a long time. Sir Edric."

"It's been a long time, Your Royal Highness, Queen of the Night, Timothy."

Xi Wei also responded without hesitation.

"Our family thought you were going to stay in that rebel army for half a year."

The girl didn't seem to understand the thorn in Xi Wei's words, as if she was chatting with a friend, she continued, "It really made us a little impatient."

But Asachel behind the girl frowned and stared at Xi Wei.

Shalan seemed to want to say something, but after looking back and forth between Xi Wei and the vampire princess, she felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little weird, so she finally shrank back without saying a word.

"Thank you for your trouble."

Xi Wei took off his hat very gentlemanly, and bent over to the girl: "Before that, I also want to thank Your Highness for reminding me last time."

"Isn't it natural to help your allies?" The girl curled her lips and showed a kind smile.

Seeing that the girl said it so naturally, Xi Wei, who didn't remember that he promised to form an alliance at all, was stunned, and opened the reputation panel of the academy system casually.

The word "mortal enemy" inherited from the nobles of the night is still shining behind the name of Timothy En Dark Alliance.

On the contrary, among the extra northwest rebels under Timothy En, his reputation has reached the level of reverence.

"Sorry, our Edric is just an academy, and we don't seem to have the ability to form an alliance with the norm."

So Xi Wei resolutely distanced himself from the other party: "Besides, I had some unpleasant pasts with you, so in order to avoid greater friction, I think it's better not to casually talk about alliances."

"Hehe, don't be nervous, we are optimistic about your future. Besides, even if there was some unhappiness in the past, as long as there is some relationship between our two high-level officials, then there will be no problems at all?"

The eldest princess showed a coquettish smile, sticking out her bright red tongue, filling Tian's plump red lips, her beautiful face combined with the charm of a vampire, the mental shock caused in an instant even made Sophia, who is also a woman, a little nervous dang rippling.

Fortunately, Xi Wei coughed dryly afterwards, which brought Sophia back to her senses.

"It's really... too shameless..."

Sophia blushed, gritted her teeth and whispered behind Xi Wei.

It's a pity that she seems to have forgotten the people present, except for her, they are all monsters with perverted perception...

"Humans over there, you are too rude!" The great demon Asachel flashed a fierce light in his eyes, and immediately reprimanded him.

"No problem."

But the vampire princess still had a playful look on her face: "Human girl, in fact, our family doesn't mind the three of us together at all."

"No, stop joking!" Sophia obviously had no resistance to such words, and could only yell in embarrassment with a red face.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Suddenly, the vampire princess regained her serious expression: "Our family seems to have made a mistake."

"I don't think this is the wrong level anymore..."

Seeing that the other party seemed to be a little more serious, Sophia finally recovered from the embarrassment just now.

"It doesn't matter if you come together, Shalan, even if there are four of us, our family is fine!"

"Give me almost a little!" Sophia shouted at the top of her voice.

"May I?"

The little vampire flapped its wings and asked in surprise.

"Shalan shouldn't agree with her with bright eyes!" Sophia immediately complained: "By the way, Xi Wei, you should say something too!"

"I'm not interested in four people together or anything."

"What's with that suspicious pause ahead!"

Of course it's because even if someone has become a great magician, there will be occasional moments when someone has wild dreams...

After the farce lasted for several minutes, Sophia, who had been struggling to complain, was finally too tired to speak.

"Hey, Sir Edric, our family likes your subordinate very much. How about exchanging three cities with you?"

The eldest princess pointed to Sophia and asked with great interest.

"Sorry, she's not for sale." Xi Wei spread his hands.

"That's a pity."

Her Royal Highness the Vampire Princess sighed, not sure if it was due to her acting skills, the disappointed expression made her heart ache.

"It's a mere human being, it's the highest honor to be seen by Her Royal Highness!" The poor man Asachel, who was completely excluded in the farce just now, jumped out immediately to gain a sense of presence.

It's just that his words have been automatically filtered out by Xi Wei.

"Azazel, be quiet."

Her Royal Highness the Vampire's Eldest Princess took out a fan out of nowhere, flapped it lightly out of season and said.

"Sorry." So the big demon immediately retreated behind her respectfully.

"Then, it's almost time to get to the point."

After drinking away her loyal dog, the girl became serious again: "Our family knows what you think. But this time we have a reason to take the initiative to find you..."

She closed the fan with a snap, pointed at Xi Wei's nose and said loudly, "Join our family and save the world together!"

"I reject."

Then he was rejected by Xi Wei in seconds.

Although he didn't know what it meant, Xi Wei had had enough of working so hard for the sake of "saving the world" and "saving mankind".

"If there's nothing else, we'll be leaving first."

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to want to stay, Xi Wei greeted Sophia and Shalan, preparing to leave here.

"Although I don't know what's going on, Sir Edric, you are completely different now than you were in your academy." At this time, the vampire princess suddenly said.

Nonsense, because I have become a great magician...

Xi Wei was thinking that in his heart just now, and the other party continued as if he had noticed his thoughts.

"Of course, what our family is talking about is not your strength, but something more fundamental." She said sharply: "Your concept of good and evil and right and wrong seems to have begun to appear deformed."

"I think a vampire's expression of good and evil is already abnormal." Xi Wei stopped, turned around and retorted: "Does the Queen of the Night think that I should go to war as soon as I see you?" ?”

"You're talking about racial differences. For vampires, sucking blood is as normal as eating bread for you humans. That kind of 'evil' is just the definition of humans."

The vampire princess argued sophistry.

"Do you think this level of fallacy can convince me?" Xi Wei frowned.

"Our family does not intend to modify your three views in this respect. But this time our family wants to talk about other content-for our family, no, even for you, the passage between two countries War, annexation and reunification...is this evil?"

"That depends on the means of annexation?" Xi Wei frowned, and chose a compromise answer like a panacea.

"Then, a little more purely... the relative unity among human beings, and the change of rulers, is this considered evil?" the girl asked pressingly.

"Can't we simply use the dualism of good and evil to explain this?"

Xi Wei was not confused by the other party's words, and still kept his mind clear.

"That's right, whether it's possession, development, or rule, it's not right or wrong...but the civilization of every race is inseparable from these three. For our family, it's the same as plants blooming. As a result, animals will forage for food to satisfy their hunger. Both animals and plants need to breathe, which is a manifestation of the laws of nature." The girl nodded: "But, besides this, there are also some existences that disrupt order. They don't know how to conquer , They only know how to destroy, they don’t know how to create, they can only destroy, this kind of thing that doesn’t follow the rules at all, and will bring a series of troubles to our family, is pure evil to our family.”

The vampire princess paused, and finally said: "For you now, even if this kind of pure evil appears in front of you, as long as it doesn't endanger yourself, it doesn't matter if you don't care about it?"

Indeed.

After choosing to spread the dangerous goods such as hybrids all over the eastern plain, Xi Wei fell into the broken window effect.

Even if you know that there are some things you can't do, but you feel that you have done bad things anyway, even if you do a few more things, so what if you become a complete villain?

By the way, this kind of state can also be called a broken pot--'Anyway, it's already been done, so why pretend to be pure! ’ That’s pretty much what it feels like.

"Join hands with our family to save the world together?"

The vampire princess looked at the silent Xi Wei, then extended her hand to invite again.

After hesitating for a while, Xi Wei suddenly woke up: "Wait, although you have said so much, you still haven't said any specific reasons for saving the world? What exactly does pure evil mean?"

"The exact thing, in fact, our family is not very clear, but it should be related to the age of mythology."

The girl who didn't care that she almost successfully deceived Xi Wei's feelings said calmly, "But the only thing that is certain is that it must be something very dangerous."

"You have a lot of big demons, high-level demons, and vampire dukes and marquises?"

Xi Wei frowned and looked at Asachel behind the girl. Now he could understand that the other party appeared in front of him was just an empty shell, and the real body of the great demon was not here: "Even so, we should take that Is there anything wrong with it?"

"The Age of Mythology is the age of miracles... There are some miracles that cannot be piled up just by counting."

The vampire princess replied quite frankly: "The only thing that can suppress miracles is miracles. To be honest, our family suspects that if we throw that thing to Hohenheim, it might be able to give up that annoying Seven Luminaries Mage Tower." Demolished."

In that case, she should also be afraid that her power will be exhausted in this battle, giving humans a chance to counterattack.

"But then again," Xi Wei asked suspiciously, "If that's the case, why don't you just throw that thing you said to Hohenheim?"

"Of course it's because things related to that thing are still useful in our family... plus a little bit of the pride of the night nobles."

The girl straightened up, which was completely different from Shalan's. Her turbulent chest showed a proud expression on her face: "How about it? Do you want to join forces?"

After thinking about it, Xi Wei raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and a void door opened beside Sofia and the others: "Sofia, Shalan, you go back to Edric first."

"Do you want to stay alone?" Sophia, who had recovered long ago, shook her head: "This is really too dangerous...and..."

And we don't have to help vampires.

Although Sophia wanted to say that, but because Sharan was next to her, and the other party's perception was not weak, it was easy to hear what she said.

"Sorry, I want to try and see my true heart..." Xi Wei touched his chest: "Don't worry, as long as the other me is fine, I won't really die."

"Won't Shalan stay here for a while?" the vampire princess asked.

But the little vampire shook his head: "Edric needs me."

"We were rejected twice a day. This is the first time our family has experienced such a sad feeling."

Even though she said so, Her Royal Highness had a smile on her face, and she didn't mean 'sad' at all: "Then, Your Excellency Edric, it's about time to go. Our family will show you the most beautiful mirror in the world!" "rs! .
