i used to be a devil

When Ren stood at the gate of the Imperial College with a huge sum of money in his arms, he still couldn't react a little bit.

A few days ago, he was a slum refugee who had to steal food from the noble cemetery at the risk of dying from the mouth of a monster that sprang out from time to time. Today, he can stand in the admissions registration meeting of Imperial College wearing clean clothes. superior.

Maybe this is a twist of fate?

"Are you a freshman who signed up too?"

"Yes!"

Because of guilty conscience and various indescribable reasons, Ren is still standing at the entrance of the college, watching all kinds of people around him walk in, most of them are in groups of twos and threes, and alone...it seems quite different—— Not the noble kind of difference.

The sudden sound of someone behind him broke En Lei's tense nerves, which he had been thinking about in secret. The sum of money was placed on his chest, which made him overreact a little.

Standing behind him is an unknown woman, who should be dressed as a mage, with a formation that Ren can't understand drawn on the back of one hand.

Seeing the reaction of the little ghost in front of him, the other party suddenly laughed, and said to him with some comfort: "Relax, I have no malicious intentions."

I have to say that this sentence made Renn relax a little bit. He breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he felt that he was so stupid, and at the same time he didn't know what to say to the other party, so he could only speak quickly from time to time. He raised his eyes to peek at the other person's expression.

That way, it's almost like a person who was caught in the right place after doing something bad.

"Don't be nervous, I won't do anything to you." The woman probably didn't know what expression to show, she was at a loss for a while, she suddenly realized, pointed to the badge on her chest, and said : "I am a teacher at Imperial College, Shugumi Hopkin."

"Yes, is it? Ah... you, hello." At this moment, my mind is still a bit out of control of the situation in front of me. All my life, I have felt that those mages, knights, etc., big figures in clean and tidy clothes are different from me. Ren in a world didn't know how to talk to the woman in front of him, who was a "big shot" in his eyes no matter whether it was in the past or now.

He could only come back to his senses after being dazed for a while, and replied stammeringly, "Hello, I'm Ryan Milton."

At this point in his words, he was almost not ready to fall to his knees.

It was also because of this series of reactions that Xiu Gumi doubted his judgment just now.

There was still a smile on the corner of her mouth, she looked at the whole body of the young man in front of her strangely, but found that her judgment just now was not wrong - although there was a remnant on him, it was still an overly strong and rich magic elemental breath.

It feels like it should be the effect left after the magic element's gathering formation, but I have to say that this overly strong residue has exceeded the normal level by many times, so she has to wonder if this is an overly extreme , and a formation that is harmful to the human body.

——It seems to come from the method of the Protestant organization that believes in Yirang, the first envoy of God.

Since the turmoil in Boulterton Town, rumors have gradually spread on the mainland: Some people say that the devil has awakened.

The traitor Yirang will come to the earth again, and the first god Socra will never recover again. As the only true god who truly created the whole world, Yirang will bring a new order.

I don't know where these words started to spread in the first place.

I don't know the basis for those who believed these words, but it has to be denied that among those who choose to believe these words, most of them are powerful mages.

In the past, as a mage's belief, Yirang, the mage's god, could only be a god that the mages on the road could not speak out in their hearts, and even talked about it with the title of a traitor.

And when these remarks appeared, and the mages who supported them seemed to have found the sustenance of their faith.

Moreover, when ten years ago, besides the Moon Goddess of Xifu, the only sub-god "Prophet" who was able to perform miracles in this world suddenly died out, those mages almost formed another church organization. The traditional churches have been fighting for several years, and they are fighting hard.

Even during that period of time, when some beast hordes came, people from both sides were still fighting, almost causing a big incident.

In fact, Xiugumi didn't have much prejudice against this Protestantism before. As a neutral mage, she didn't have any special preferences. It wasn't until after the incident of the beast tide that she had a complete understanding of this Protestantism. Feel bad.

And five years ago, maybe the leaders of both sides also realized that if the two sides continued to pinch each other like this, one day they would all die in the beast tide of Warcraft, so they signed a relevant agreement on reconciliation.

After that, the church no longer publicized the issue of this new organization, but the content in the scriptures has not changed, and Protestantism has never denied the act of killing God by the first angel, but it does not think it is a betrayal.

Probably because neither side can persuade each other, but they want to make a superficial peace of peace.

Xiu Gumi, who had turned his mind slightly, slandered casually in his heart, and then focused on the young man in front of him again, "So, you can be considered a freshman reserve. Seeing that you don't know what to do Come with me. I'll take you to sign up, and then test your talent—" He waved to the bewildered little ghost behind him, what Xiugumi was thinking was completely different from what he said, but he came casually, There was no pause. "Maybe if there is fate, I can be your instructor."

"Yes! Yes!" The development was really like a transfer of luck, which made Renn overwhelmed with excitement for a moment. With an excited expression on his face, he followed behind Xiu Gumi, looking around as if opening the door to a new world.

He was very curious about everything, he didn't care about Shugumi who didn't make a sound after leading the way, he just looked at the things he was interested in, everything was new and unprecedented to him of.

But he just watched curiously and didn't say a word.

"..."

Walking in the seat on the left, as I said before, Xiu Gumi kept quiet on purpose, and just quietly observed the young man beside her while walking, but found that the other party didn't care about this—or In other words, he didn't even realize that Shugumi was a little abnormal.

From this point of view, it should not be the way someone taught it.

Quietly came to a conclusion in his heart, Xiugumi just turned his eyes away, and stopped looking at Ren.

Imperial College can be regarded as the largest college in the entire country.

It is also the most important academy in the hearts of most mages, warriors, and alchemists.In the huge campus, today is different from the crowds in the past. It is a little noisy, but it also looks a bit crowded.

The freshmen who came to sign up had finished watching the excitement along the way with Ren, who was behind Xiugumi, and they were not so curious at this time.He turned to observe the incoming freshmen who looked to be just like him.

These people can roughly be divided into several types. One type is those who stand on one side and can clearly feel that the other party is of a higher level. They are obviously grouped together, all dressed exquisitely and look very Expensive clothes, this kind of people, Ryan felt that he didn't need to think too much, he knew that he should be writing about noble children.

He carefully looked at those people many times, kept the appearance of the other person in his heart, and silently labeled them as "don't mess with them, stay away, don't get close to them".

After that, I looked at a large group of bustling people gathered on the other side. Around these people were some adults who seemed to be parents. It can be said that they stood together in a large area and whispered to each other.

Basically every time he spoke, he would quietly look at the rich young masters and ladies who were accompanied by domestic servants.

For these people, Renn only glanced at them roughly, and paid no attention to a few who seemed to him to be kinder to the senses.

Look at the rest-

For the rest, Ren felt that he couldn't analyze what kind of class the other party was, so... just circle them separately for the time being?

Oh, by the way, he seems to be the only one who came here from the slums.

At this time, he really wanted to touch his head and laugh hahahaha to express his mood at this time, and then his originally self-entertaining observation thoughts were interrupted.

"You are here, Mr. Hopkins."

The person who came was a young man who didn't look very old—Ren felt that the other party was a few years older than himself.

Judging by his attire, he should not be the young master of a noble family - after analyzing this, he was a little relieved.

Xiugumi had been waiting for this person in front of him before, but now he felt that the task could finally be completed.She turned sideways and said hello to the person who came, "I'm sorry to trouble you to make a special trip."

Although he said so, to be honest, Ren watched from the side and didn't feel much apology from the other party.

To the person in front of him, Xiu Gumi was an existence two levels higher. Even if he said a few polite words to perfunctory the other party, he didn't have any temper, and he still nodded and smiled apologetically.

He didn't plan to exchange too many pleasantries. After saying hello, Xiu Gumi directly pointed out the reason for coming this time, "Then what, I came through the back door. Can this child be given priority in the enrollment test?"

"This child?" After the other party's protracted tone, the gossip question was full of meaning.

Xiu Gumi didn't care, and just said directly: "The very talented seedling I just picked up on just now, if it is what I think after the test, then it is probably my disciple."

"..."

……

Food Street Yishen Alchemy Store.

Bai Lan commanded two faceless alchemy puppets to organize the shelves for herself, while she herself was sitting on a high stool with a pipe on her back, pecked lightly, and then exhaled a smoke ring at the person next to her , "Give up, you, the driving core of the alchemy puppet is controlled by magic power. How can His Majesty Yirang's alchemy puppet be driven by your magic power and purity?"

"You seem to have forgotten that he was in the descending state at that time." The man squatting on the ground was wearing the casual clothes of the bishop of the church, and the robes mainly in platinum and gold were quite conspicuous at this time.He said this with dissatisfaction, but his body was very honest in expressing his current thoughts - he agreed with what Bai Lan said.

Standing up a bit discouraged, he moved his stiff body a little bit, but then he stretched out his hand a little bit unwillingly, touched it and stood straight, at first glance, it looked like two corpses Alchemy puppet.

"You said, can they still move?"

"You mean to ask me if His Majesty Yirang will appear again?"

Bai Lan, who knocked on the cigarette ash, threw a rhetorical question, which made the man speechless for a while.

"Who knows. Anyway—didn't Silanfa say that His Majesty Yirang will come again? Just like the first god can leave clothes and wait for the time to come, why can't His Majesty Yirang? Don't forget, he was But killed the number one god!"

"Don't act like a fanatic. I'm still the bishop of the church anyway. It's a bit too much for you to look like this in front of me."

"You also know that you are the bishop of the church. If you let those people know that you kept the alchemy puppet of the devil and tried to make it move again, will they think that you want to resurrect the devil? Also, if you let the Protestant know, The relics of their gods are in your hands, do you think you are blaspheming?" Bai Lan threw out a series of words, making the person in front of her just smile, but there was no answer for a while.

After a long time, that person suddenly said to Bailan thoughtlessly, "... Tell me, did I make the wrong wish?"

Bai Lan's action of putting the cigarette holder into his mouth stopped for a moment, "Wish?" Bai Lan turned his head to look at the man, and after a short while, he showed a strange smile: "If you want me to tell you, Rosemil, why did you Why don't you make a wish to His Majesty Yi Rang to destroy the number one god and leave it in this world as a container for descending?"

"..."

"Now you ask me if you made the wrong wish?" Bai Lan sneered, "In the end, I just don't know why you got his favor."

"I do not know either."

After a long silence, Rosemere put away the expression of Rosemere Doyat who shared a memory with Prynne.He was still smiling, but there was another expression on his face and eyes.

It looks like a high-ranking bishop.

Reserved, polite, and cold.

He took out a piece of information from his alchemy pocket, and placed it on the table in front of Bai Lan, "The reminiscence is almost over, let's talk about the business."

Over there, Bai Lan muttered in a low voice that turning his face was faster than turning a book. While picking up the materials that were put aside, he flipped through them quickly, while waiting for Rosemil's reply later: "As usual, this is the arrangement for this year's beast tide period. There is a record of what you need to do."

"Here again, how much money will the church pay for these material requirements this year?"

Over there, Rosemir's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't express much. He just said, "This incident is unavoidable every year. Besides, there are your acquaintances in the knight order, and your disciples in the mage order."

Bai Lan couldn't say no to it.

Satisfied with the result, Rosemir took out another document and put it in front of Bai Lan, "The one just now was a business matter, and now this one is a private matter."

"Oh?" Bai Lan couldn't help but raised her eyebrows after hearing such a rare remark, and picked up the second document with interest.

"The blood relatives of a clan that I died before, the soul fire that had been extinguished, lit up again."

"so?"

"I have personally confirmed that his soul was left behind by the Lord of the West Palace."

"You mean, didn't the man in feather clothes wear him as clothes?"

"No."

"Well, what's the name? What are the characteristics?"

"Borodor Doyat, fair-haired, sickly-looking young man."
