Apocalypse Magician

Chapter 7 Am I a killer?

When he came to the small town where the town belongs, Li Xingkong's first feeling was that it was much more prosperous than the town. I used to think that the buildings of the magic school in the town were very exquisite, but when I came here I found that there were many buildings on the roadside, and the rich and wealthy families who used to be the most wealthy were just ordinary people here. For the first time, Li Xingkong saw that wide and straight streets could criss-cross, a tavern could be as high as three stories, and the bustling crowd in the market was actually more than the total population of the town.

However, the prosperity of this border town would actually only appear in Li Xingkong's eyes. This small city is located on the border of the Sunset Empire, one of the six empires, and borders the Rising Sun Empire and the Qingtian Empire. Due to the barren land and constant disputes for years, the Sunset Empire has basically not provided much financial support. Compared with the major imperial capitals, as well as the most prosperous Supreme City and the three main cities in Fantasy Continent, which are directly controlled by the Church of the Holy Mountain, they are completely different and not even as important as some important cities in small and medium-sized countries.

However, Li Xingkong obviously had no interest in taking care of that much. He just came to the door of the magic high school in the city and silently looked at the door, which was obviously much more impressive than the magic school in the town, thinking hard about how to obtain a legal status in it. After all, crying poor and pretending to be miserable three years ago was just a child's trick, and Li Xingkong, who is now 15 years old, has said goodbye to this simple and violent way forever.

Well, I can only blend in first and then adapt accordingly. With this in mind, Li Xingkong walked along the school wall to a deserted corner, and then jumped into the air and crossed the wall.

Quietly landing on the inside of the wall, Li Xingkong quietly disguised himself as a student and silently walked through the campus of Magic High School. In the golden autumn of September, the school is a world of maple leaves. The brilliant red colors are like clouds dipped in the sunset. The surrounding buildings are much taller and more regular. You can vaguely see the appearance of pavilions and pavilions. The colors are particularly sharp and angular, and the trees planted horizontally and vertically look like soldiers standing in formation in the square.

However, Li Xingkong always felt that it was missing a bit of agility, perhaps because he could no longer hear the crisp sound of the wind chimes made by the breeze, or because the pure white petals of the cherry blossom trees after the flowering season could no longer be seen.

After walking around the campus a few times, Li Xingkong chose a long-abandoned storage room in the corner. He planned to pretend to be a student and wander around the teaching building, attend classes as before, and hide here at night. It seems like you can survive past the patrolling security guards.

This was the day before the new students entered school. When night fell, Li Xingkong hid in the storage room as planned and began to experience a new lifestyle that would last for three years.

The moonlight was like water, passing through the breathable skylight, shining on the hard and cold ground, and also shining on Li Xingkong's longing face. After three years of living with a house and a bed, Li Xingkong was not used to living in the open air as a beggar again. He tossed and turned for a long time without falling asleep.

The cold wind blows through at night, bringing the coolness of autumn.

In fact, Li Xingkong knew in his heart that magicians were rare existences in the Fantasy Continent. If he found a job, he could have enough food and clothing, but in this case, he would not be able to see that beautiful girl with ethereal and clear eyes every day.

He reached out and took out the handkerchief he carried with him and unfolded it gently under the moonlight. It was the only white spot in the dark space. The original blood stains have long been washed away, and Li Xingkong also carefully embroidered the three words "Luo Yingxue". In the past, whenever he couldn't sleep at night, he would look at it, as if he had returned to the first morning when the sky was filled with snow.

School officially starts tomorrow, so I should be able to meet her again. Li Xingkong thought this way, and finally there was a hint of joy in his eyes, and then he placed the water healing array engraved on the magic crystal in front of his eyes. Now apart from the handkerchief, there is one more thing that can be used to miss me.

Wrapping the formation crystal with a handkerchief again and pressing it tightly to his heart, Li Xingkong suddenly felt very warm, as if the ground had become softer. His whole body was surrounded by warmth and happiness, and he gradually sank...

When dawn dispelled the darkness and the sun shone in instead of the moonlight, Li Xingkong, who entered the dreamland with a smile, seemed to hear the sound of the door being opened, so he quickly stood up and hid in the deepest dark corner of the storage room.

Two people came in from the door. The leader had a stern face and a middle-aged appearance. Li Xingkong felt familiar at first glance. He seemed to have seen him in the bulletin board when he was walking around the campus yesterday. He seemed to be the director of a certain department. He could be considered a director. One of the senior leaders of the school, and the man behind him was actually wearing a black night jacket in broad daylight, with the word "bad guy" printed directly on his face.

"Chief, those magic crystals engraved with fire explosion arrays are inside." The man in black reported respectfully, "There should be one box left after the last assassination mission."

"Yes." The middle-aged director nodded, "I should replenish some supplies in the near future."

Assassination mission? Li Xingkong, who was hiding in the corner, was shocked when he heard the conversation between the two. Could this be a killer organization?

However, before Li Xingkong could think of a countermeasure, the two walked straight over, getting closer and closer, as if they already knew that the walls had ears. Li Xingkong broke out in a cold sweat, and could clearly hear his nervous heartbeat. In a panic, he reached out to fumble around, and found that the material of a box next to him was finer than the others, and it was obviously different.

Isn't this the box you are looking for? Li Xingkong was so unlucky that he felt like crying. Two eldest brothers, conscience of heaven and earth, I really didn’t mean to hear your secrets!

Since there was no way to avoid the encounter, Li Xingkong had no choice but to activate his levitation technique before he was exposed, and rushed towards the storage room door, trying to escape.

"who?"

The middle-aged director reacted quickly, and as he shouted angrily, a sword energy flew out, and the man in black was the first to block the door.

The sharp sword energy hit him head-on with a strong wind. Li Xingkong felt an unprecedented pressure, as if it could suffocate him. His survival instinct told him at this moment that he must not block it head-on! So, Li Xingkong activated the wind acceleration magic and at the same time forcibly dodged. The sword energy passed over his chest and tore his clothes. The handkerchief that Li Xingkong always regarded as a treasure fell to the ground.

Li Xingkong, who had managed to avoid the sword energy, saw someone blocking the door, so he had to fall back to where he was. When he noticed that the handkerchief had fallen, he went to pick it up, but was stopped by the middle-aged director.

"Since you discovered the secret, you can't blame us." The man in black turned back from the door and approached Li Xingkong step by step.

Li Xingkong did not answer. He just deployed the earth defensive magic and lit a flame in his right hand. In his impression, among the four magics of water, fire, earth and wind that he could cast, the earth defense was the strongest, while the fire attack was the sharpest.

"Slow down!" The middle-aged director suddenly showed a bit of surprise, stretched out his hand to stop the man in black, and then looked Li Xingkong up and down, "It's really strange that there are people in the world who can activate magic with three different attributes."

"When did you start to be a beggar? Who else is there in the family?" Before Li Xingkong could answer, the middle-aged director asked questions again and again, as if he were checking household registration.

"I have been a beggar as long as I can remember. I don't remember who is in my family." Li Xingkong pretended to be calm, but he had no idea what the other party was up to.

"In that case, I have a good suggestion," the middle-aged director stared at Li Xingkong for a moment and finally got to the point, "Become a killer."

"As a killer?" Li Xingkong was dumbfounded and froze on the spot.
