Dean's residence, the top-floor office.
With and a group of girls, Luo Zhen walked in leisurely like a visiting guest.
Here, many people greeted him.
"Oh, I've been waiting for you for a long time, little one from the Akabane family!"
The person who said such a sentence was sitting on the desk facing the door, with his legs crossed, and he kept looking at the side with a joking look. It was not until Luo Zhen came in that his eyes lit up, and he stood up with some enthusiasm. A girl who screamed loudly.
The demonic nature exuding from the girl's body is quite strong. She is accompanied by a majestic lion and a singing demon eagle, which vaguely gives people an extremely dangerous feeling. The figure of the three sisters "Snow Moon Flower" They all froze.
Luo Zhen could tell at a glance that this unexpectedly young girl was the leader of the attackers that he had always "sighted" with an aura that was close to miasma and defeated the dean.
Magicians in black with black panther-shaped automatons lined up around them like an army, looking at them with murderous intent.
Next to them, headed by the dean of the academy, many hostages were either lying there with bruises all over their bodies, or were tied up with magic tools that could block magic power, completely losing their ability to move.
Especially the dean, not only did he suffer what looked like serious injuries, he was also tied up so tightly that he couldn't even move.
"I've let you see how embarrassed I am, Lord Agnie."
The dean of the college noticed Luo Zhen's gaze and smiled bitterly.
Luo Zhen only glanced at the other party, and then turned his attention to the witch.
"Who are you?"
Luo Zhenyan spoke concisely and concisely.
There was no beating around the bush, no small talk, and he directly questioned the witch.
That unceremonious attitude made the murderous aura of the surrounding magicians in black more intense.
The witch, on the other hand, looked unfazed.
"Speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet."
The witch announced her name generously.
"My name is Astrid Set, a rose witch who belongs to the Rose Division. The symbolic color is gold. You can also call me Golden Rose. It doesn't matter."
The witch named Astrid's attitude was quite enthusiastic, and she seemed to welcome Luo Zhen.
Luo Zhen was unmoved.
"What is this ?"
Luo Zhen continued to ask questions calmly.
"What? Don't you know about our existence?" Astrid was slightly startled, frowned, and said: "Logically speaking, with your level, it should be impossible not to know about our existence. , it’s really strange.”
Obviously, although the force that Astrid belongs to is not something that anyone can know about, once it reaches a certain level, it is impossible not to know about their existence.
because...
"Our is a magic association with a history of two thousand years. It is the oldest magic group that has continued since the time of Emperor Nero in Rome. It can be said to be the origin of the existence of "the association", so many people also They all directly call the "Rose Division" an association, which means that we are at the top of the magic power. "
Astrid opened her hands as if she wanted to embrace the whole world, speaking with pride and pride.
"When our association was first established, we tried to control power and prevent the rampage of power, because the purpose of our existence is to suppress power. At the beginning, we were just a gathering of Christians who hid at the bottom of society to escape the suppression of Emperor Nero. Yes, it didn’t surface until the end of the Middle Ages. Even compared to clever magic, our history is much longer and older.”
Perhaps it is precisely because the has such a background that they want to become a restraining force of power, right
And they do have such qualifications.
"Since we surfaced, we have been trying to control politics from behind the scenes in various countries around the world. We have a deep relationship with the United Kingdom. When the Protestants and Catholics were fighting, we were protected by the Church of England, and we had some conflicts with the Old Church. The history of domination and resistance is now aimed at avoiding world war and resisting the domination of the great powers."
Astrid said this openly.
"We are completely different from the despicable bystanders in the Vatican. They will just sit back and ignore the injustice of the world. Although they are indeed indispensable if we manage order from the perspective of magic, their actions can only allow magic to develop. , unable to stop the rampage of the great powers, let alone the dominance of imperialism. Even if a world war breaks out, they will only record this period of history as bystanders, hoping to rely on them to obtain justice, fairness, and security. It can basically be said to be an idiot’s dream.”
Astrid's words revealed her dissatisfaction and contempt for the Magicians Association.
If what she said is true, then the relationship between the "Rose Order" and the "Magician Association" can be said to be deep-rooted, because both parties were one and the same in the distant past and both were Christians.
But unlike the "Magicians Association" who chose to be a check and balance on magic, the "Rose Order" to which Astrid belonged ultimately chose to be restricted by politics.
In other words, although these two forces have roots, they are completely opposite.
"Take you as an example. Your talents are so precious. Logically speaking, the right thing to do is to give you enough protection and assistance so that you can show sufficient value on the world stage. But until now, the guys from the association are only paying attention to you secretly, and even supervising you. What they are doing is not treating a valuable talent in the magic world, but a criminal who may commit a crime at any time, which is really disgusting."
At this point, Astrid changed her tone and looked at Luo Zhen with intense eyes.
"But we are different. We will let your talents grow as they should and let you realize the greatest value. That's why I'm here to welcome you."
Astrid did not hide her purpose at all, let alone her attitude.
"you?"
Luo Zhen looked at Astrid with a half-smile.
"That's right." Astrid nodded matter-of-factly and said: "Our controls the great magicians with the name of Rose, and Rose is the master of the Cadres, and I, , am the senior cadre of the association. Apart from the other senior cadre, the witch has the most power and influence. When necessary, I can even judge and judge her roses, and I can also recommend others to become new roses. If you are willing, I can be your guarantee and let you sit on the throne of the rose."
This is quite a big deal.
You must know that the "Rose Division" is the oldest magic association, and its purpose is to suppress power. Although it is unknown, it is a quite powerful force.
They are able to challenge the "Magician Association" and even fight against the world's major powers. Their shadow can be seen in countries all over the world. They can be said to be extremely powerful.
If the is the leader of the magic world, then the is the leader of the underground world.
They are equivalent to the "Rebel Army" in the world of fallen knights, and can be said to be the overlords of the other world.
If you can become one of the cadres, you can imagine what kind of status, power and wealth you can get.
However...
"What if I say no?"
Luo Zhen's words in an understatement suddenly changed the atmosphere of the scene.
