best villain

A meeting was being held in a spacious room in the renovated noble mansion of the Minister of Savoy.

Even though it was daytime, the curtains were pulled tightly, completely blocking out the light from the outside.

Around the large table that was specially moved in, there were four people including her.

First up is Erica.

Erica, 16, is the youngest here.

There are two old people.They were the old lady and the she-wolf - they knew this country and the world of magic well, and they were the commanders of the ancient and powerful knights.In the old-fashioned way, it is grandmaster (special master)

The final fourth person is a young man.

Representing the Knights - the young commander of the Lily City.Should be less than 30 years old.

This man is of the same class as her.

Like Erica, the representative of the Red Copper Black Cross, a knight with the rank of 'Grand Knight'.

Since ancient times, there have been many magicians in the world.

There are vile tricksters and there are great teachers.A 'knight' who learns sword skills and magic.Erica is a descendant of the Knights of Temple, who once dominated the Middle Ages—magicians and warriors who believed in the Son of God and Baphomet.

The title of great knight, only a few warriors can get it.

"So, everyone, have you come to a conclusion? Who should Gorgon entrust to the things we all worry about?"

The commander-in-chief of the old lady proposed.

The one who immediately disagreed was the leader of the female wolf.

"Entrust? I don't think this approach is very wise. Although our leader Salbatore is not at this stage. However, is it too useless to rely on the king of another country?"

"The guy who wants to laugh, let him laugh. The important thing is that the Gorgon is real this time, and now we don't have a king we can rely on. This is just a small problem of temporary shame."

"It's just a shame. But what if you offend the king? If Lord Salbatore knows that we rely on other kings, I think he will be very angry, and the consequences must be very serious."

Just like the old man said.

Even with excellent sword skills, an old magician who has mastered the secrets of the world cannot hide his fear of the 'King'.

Because even the strongest knights, the strongest magicians, are no match for kings and gods.

That is the truth of the world.

"However, would Mr. Salbatore care about these small things? In the eyes of that lord, we are just bees gathered in a hive. How could the bees be angry because they chose a new queen?"

The leader of the Lily City intervenes in the argument between the two old men.

A tall man with a height of nearly 1.9 meters.The lower part of the face is full of lazy beard.On the whole, it looks melancholy.

The suit tie he was wearing was a slightly vulgar purple.

The symbolic color of Lily City is purple.

Wearing purple decorations is an obligation for members of the organization.

Erica is wearing a crimson dress and a black rose headdress, and the red copper black cross symbolizes red and black.

"Although so, I can't judge which king to rely on. Gorgon is the symbol of the mother of the earth in ancient times. When it comes to a decisive battle with the oldest goddess. The Marquis of Vauban and other kings will definitely be interested."

If that Demon King fights seriously.A city or two can simply be wiped out.

the powers he has.Could knock the whole earth down, tear it apart, shatter it—if he only wanted to.

"Only rely on the king."

Take advantage of this opportunity.Erica spoke.

Now is the time to end this useless controversy.

"In that case, we can hire him from across the Atlantic."

The commander-in-chief of Lily City said as if chatting.

Erika responded with a relaxed expression while enjoying her coffee.

"No, the patron saint of Los Angeles, I heard that he is busy protecting the West Coast, so he can't have the time to help."

Compared with the two old people, the two young people seemed calm and unhurried.

It's not that I underestimate the situation, but that I have a confident attitude towards myself.

"Then, how about the leader Luo Hao in the east? Or the Black Prince in Cornwall? They are all the commanders-in-chief of the association. As long as we don't enter their jurisdiction, we should be able to ask them to lend a helping hand, right?"

"This and that are not allowed, nor is Mrs. Aisha in Alexandria."

"Then, there are no more candidates. There are only seven people in the world who have the title of campione. All candidates have been discussed."

The old marquis of Eastern Europe, the leader of southern China, and the queen of the demon cave.

Their combined age is more than 200 years, and they are veteran demon kings.Then there is the noble son of darkness who leads the dark magicians in the New World and wins the most intelligent in the British Empire.

Then, in this century, the strongest swordsman in Europe got the rank of king.

This is something anyone who has anything to do with magic knows.

But, the last one.

Few people know anything about the king who lives in the Far East—unless, like himself, he has personally witnessed that man's battle.

Erika said the name with a sense of superiority.

"No, there is one more. Have you forgotten the person who defeated Prometheus in the Caucasus Mountains a year ago? In terms of age, Prometheus is not inferior to the goddess we faced this time. A month ago, that king killed two powerful gods in one breath, and then fought fiercely with us and the lord for several days, and the two sides cherished each other and became an ally, so it must be no problem to invite him as an ally."

"Is that Oriental??"

The commander of the female wolf muttered.

"Recently, there has been a lot of buzz about that name."

"I also read the report of the Greenwich Conference. First, defeat the god Prometheus who possesses ancient wisdom, and obtain the power to change the form of existence of things. The past folly has paid the price. Then, defeating the sky god Mekal first, according to the Red Copper Black Cross, they used Mekal's divine power to achieve something great, and raised magic to a level that rivals power. To be honest, it is unbelievable. It sounds unrealistic that a magician can defeat a god by his own means, but since it came from Ms. Erica, I have to think carefully about it. .But until now. The power taken from Veleslana is unknown, so is there any meaning in that?".

As if to deny the old man's statement, Erika smiled lightly.

"The king is thinking who can guess. But if you doubt his strength, Sir Salbatore will be angry. As a bystander, I witnessed the fierce battle between the two day and night .That is a strong enemy enough to make you go all out. But this strong enemy——the seventh king still has some hidden cards. You don’t know what this means. Of course, I really don’t want to use it The premise of belittling you is convincing to everyone. But the knight's 'reputation' does not allow me to change the facts, and lying is nothing, but if you can't recognize the reality, who will look down on it?"

"That Easterner and Sir Salbatore were tied, and even released water? How is this possible!"

"Impossible! Sergeant Salbatore has four powers. Even if the rumor about the seventh king is true, he only has two powers. With such an overwhelming disadvantage, how can there be no winner! Besides According to what you said, he only used impermanence. If it is too much, even Paul's niece, we will be angry."

Erica looked at the old people with contempt.

"He was able to kill gods when he was a magician, and he was invincible with just one power, plus some inhuman methods, what's the point of the numerical difference in combat power?"

Hearing these words, the two old men fell silent as if they were not very happy.At this time, the next person who spoke was the commander-in-chief of Lily City.

"How did you know about the battle between campiones that even our saint council doesn't know about?"

'Purple Knight' - said the young man with this title.

This is the title of the Great Knight of the Lily City, inherited from generation to generation.

"The reason is simple, because I was a witness to that duel. I have seen Kusanagi Godou fight several times. I think that lord will one day become a rival to Sir Salbatore and Marquis Vauban, and even To surpass their demon king. To prepare for the future, I think we should deepen our relationship with that lord."

"It can be seen that he is a terrible person to receive such strong praise from the red demon Miss Erica. Moreover, from your words, it seems that you have already had a lot of connections with him."

"Yes, whether it's hatred or appreciation, it's a close relationship. At least I still think about him from time to time, and I hope that one day I can see the astonishment of my true strength in his eyes."

Erica said it bluntly.

At this time, the others looked at each other and sighed in unison.

"The Red Copper Black Cross, do you want to be an enemy of the king?".

The commander of the female wolf asked doubtfully.

There are very few countries with campione.

There are only seven people in all human beings, so it is a matter of course.

However, Italy has campione.He was only a young knight a few years ago, but he was qualified by defeating the king of the Dannu gods.

Campione is centered in Europe and has the highest authority.

Under their influence, people related to magic and important figures in the financial world all swore loyalty to Campione as the 'King' and became his subordinates.

They are overlords, demon kings—possessing powerful magic power, so the 'king' is a tyrant worthy of the awe of the world.

There are definitely not a few individuals and associations who fear that power, worship it, and swear allegiance.

"But don't get me wrong, I don't want to drag the association down. Although I still want to impress him, I may be conquered physically and mentally one day. At that time, how the red copper and black crosses choose has nothing to do with me. .”

Facing Erica who was smiling gently, the commander of the old lady grinned.

"Sure enough, I finally understand the reason why you were sent here, even though you are a genius who inherited the title of Grand Knight at that age. But Miss Erika is the bait for that young Campione."

"I'll pretend I didn't hear what you're saying now, otherwise it will damage my judgment on the elders. It's really puzzling to pay more attention to the concerns among young people."

"Haha, that's really good! She's really a reliable female fox."

The old man smiled sarcastically.

Erica, still smiling, just shrugged.Silence is more effective than arguing at this time.

"After talking for a long time, I finally expected to be protected by him, so I said to use that power, isn't that true, Miss Erica?"

"Yes. As the leader, Sir Salbatore is just in name only. He is completely uninterested in things other than his own battle. Therefore, I personally agree with Sir Salbatore's decision—— Form an alliance with the seventh king. If that is the case, what is wrong with us as subordinates asking for help from our allies?"

"However, the king you mentioned, we have not seen his ability. Whether he has the qualifications and strength to accept our entrustment. It must be confirmed."

'Purple Knight' said indifferently.

"Even if the testimony of the 'red demon' is more valuable than gold. But this alone is not enough. You must know that this is related to the survival of our family."

'Purple Knight' finally showed his opinion and made a request.

"Well, it's only natural to think so. I'll prove it."

After confirming that the plan will proceed as scheduled, Erica showed a bright smile.It is a smile that everyone who sees it will sigh, like a flower blooming.

"What is the so-called proof?"

"I have already sent out the invitation letter. Before long, please go and watch his battle in person. This is more convincing than saying a thousand words."

"If it's a battle, what about the opponent? It's not that easy to find an opponent who can be the king."

"It's already here, isn't it?"

Erica smiled happily.

"The 'Red Demon' - the Great Knight of the Red Copper Black Cross is considered to be the opponent of the king. Don't you think he is not qualified enough, the 'Purple Knight'?"

"No, it's just a bit of a surprise. However, if it's you, you are indeed the right person."

A wry smile appeared at those words, and the gloomy expression of the "Purple Knight" collapsed for the first time.

"How about it, elders? There is no stronger proof than being able to directly see the king's battle. If his power is real, I agree with Miss Erika's proposal."

When the old people were about to nod, the 'Purple Knight' said.

"The confrontation between the enigmatic young Campione and the red demon—is indeed a very interesting arrangement, Ms. Erica, let me see your plan."

summer vacation.

The long vacation that countless high school students look forward to.

Some people go out to play, some people participate in physical exercise, some people work part-time, fall in love, study, or spend a month and a half sweating and passionately at fanzine sales.

Whether in the past or now, Ling Yi will never change his original intention of spending the hot summer in a comfortable air-conditioned room.

Yes, no one can stop him.

Even loyal subordinates begged with mournful faces.

"No matter how you say it, it's too difficult."

Maybe many people don't know that just a year ago, the Japanese magic world ushered in a catastrophe.The initiator is a well-known great knight in the Eastern European magic world. He is currently loyal to the newly promoted Demon King, and following his orders, he wiped out all the resistance forces in Japan with lightning speed. In this operation, the great knight Khosla took the lead, which greatly boosted morale and laid the foundation for the unification of the country.

The old forces fell, and the new ones rose.

The power that replaced the Official History Compilation Committee and dominated the country was called the Mage Association.

Just looking at the name, you can tell that this is not a religious organization, let alone a family system, but a joint-stock force similar to a modern enterprise.

The president of the Magic Association is the leader of the purge.

——'Iron Knight' Kushra.

However, in the eyes of the world, he is known for his iron and blood methods, but now he can't do anything to a black-haired young man.

The main reason is the absolute nature of the relationship between upper and lower.

"Don't say that, Khusla. I trust your ability. In just one year, the Magic Association has grown to where it is today. You are more suitable as a 'manager' than going to battle to kill the enemy. " Ling Yi waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

Chiyoda District is one of the 23 special districts in Tokyo, including the residence of the Emperor of Japan - the Imperial Palace, the Japanese National Assembly (Nagata Town), the Supreme Court (Supreme Court), the Yasukuni Shrine and most of the central government offices in Otemachi, etc. All are located in Chiyoda District, so this district can be said to be the political and economic center of Japan.In addition to its function as a political center, the headquarters of many famous Japanese companies are also located in this area, and the well-known overseas Electric Town Akihabara is also located in Chiyoda District.

The headquarters of the Magic Association is here.

A skyscraper with 99 floors.

It adopts a unique spiral shape, which looks like a silver genome under the sunlight.

The top floor is not a rooftop, but a sky garden.

A large swimming pool for thousands of people, flowerbeds and lawns, and even artificially planted woods. The most conspicuous is a house.

Although there are only two floors, it occupies ten percent of the top floor.

On the whole, this is a man-made suburban villa.

——At the same time, it is also the residence of the king of the Far East.

Just a few days after returning from Sardinia, Kushla came to the door with a large package of documents.

Ling Yi was not happy anymore. Could it be that he had to correct such a trivial matter by himself?

In the end, Kushra explained that this was a friendly greeting from other forces, and there was an invitation letter or something, because Ling Yi's name was written on it, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while.

It just so happened that the Lord came back.

So, he went to the door.

It's a pity that Ling Yi casually took a few glances and threw it aside, saying that he was going to watch and deal with it himself.

What is this called!

"Your Majesty, please say a few words." Kushra said slowly while organizing the language in his mind: "Although the Magic Association is on the right track, the staffing is quite complete, and the talent transportation channel will be established in the near future. But It is still a little bit far from the real blowout development period. What the association lacks now is the recognition of the outside world. The invitations of other forces can be postponed, but since you have established an ally with Sir Salbatore of Italy, then this invitation letter It cannot be ignored.”

Hearing this, Ling Yi felt a little curious.

"Oh, take it over and have a look."

Kushra obediently handed over a beautiful invitation letter.

(The group number is related to the work, because I only have three managers, so it may take a long time to wait) (To be continued...)
