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 guys who "wouldn't 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 where students usually eat.
In fact, when it comes to this, someone must have noticed a certain key point - "invited"? 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 him 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 were immediately closed, making a series of soft sounds. Since no one was talking here yet, the sound of a slight collision seemed particularly clear.
"Tonight, everyone will conduct a unique and large-scale transaction under my leadership. 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 on behalf of 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 belong to are all in the countries surrounding my Israeli magic world, but they are not top-notch. So, 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 royal power, but now it is forced to turn to production because of the loss of a large number of inheritances. .
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-"
Hearing what the old dean of Xibohe said became more and more outrageous, the representatives of various forces present had incomprehensible expressions on their faces. 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 our Horus family, they are definitely not too much to deal with. As for What did you say to help 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 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... Let me just say this! Someone once called me 'Despicable Herbo', I wonder if you...have you 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 that seemed to be burning the body and soul at the same time caused 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.
"Li Huo!"
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 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 succeeded in finding a way.
Oh, you ask what happened to the remaining researchers? In fact, it was 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 transform into biological shapes, they were so frightened that they couldn't even speak. After all, if even a tiny bit of this thing gets stained, it won't be extinguished even with a splash!
Unfortunately, they guessed wrong after all.
"No, this... this, this is not Li Huo!" Suddenly a person exclaimed, "Look! Are they centaurs? Also, are those three-headed snakes? How come there are fire creatures in Li Huo? Are there 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 sleeping on the back with a calm expression from just now!
As if he noticed that these guys finally calmed down a little, Haierbo slowly raised his eyelids.
"I'm very happy, at least in this era people still know 'Lihuo'..." he said quietly, "but unfortunately, this is not Lihuo... but a new magic I created based on the principles of Lihuo. …”
"I call it - Soul Flame."
"Theoretically, as long as there is enough death as a foundation, I can create a huge army of flames! And 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 despised casually. Because as long as there is a Ministry of Magic in this 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 people 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 destroy the entire Ministry of Magic. This was much more amazing than they originally expected!
"If you still don't believe it, I don'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!"
As he spoke, he suddenly hooked his right index finger, and a hippogriff made of flames jumped up from the sea of fire, spreading its wings and spinning above 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 death process 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 magical power 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 substantial movement.
But as a powerful ancient wizard who can be said to be orthodox, his trust in magic induction even exceeds that of Maka, who is also walking on this path.
"snort."
A sharp look flashed in Haierbo's eyes, and he suddenly snorted, which shocked the others.
