The days when I helped the protagonist come to power [System]

It was already dark when Hugein returned to his residence.

His single-family hut is actually not far from the teaching area. The reason why it took so long is because of his body—the strong sense of exhaustion made him stop and rest for a while every time he walked. Stop and go, the sky is full of stars when I get home.

After struggling to close the door, Hugein didn't even have the extra strength to climb up the stairs to the bedroom on the second floor. He staggered into the living room with his increasingly drowsy head, and fell on the long wicker chair superior.

He could have fallen into a deep sleep with peace of mind, but the lecture materials under his body were really uncomfortable. Shuge closed his eyes to relax, and then propped up his body with difficulty. The material books were gathered again, during which time the kraft paper envelope slipped from the book and just fell on Hughin's lap.

Hugein paused, and he slowly put the organized lecture materials aside, then picked up the envelope.

There was a luminous crystal ball next to the rattan chair, which was emitting a soft light at this time. The man who lay down again opened the letter with the light of the crystal ball.

There was only a thin sticky note inside the envelope, and the edges of the sticky note were not neat, as if it was torn from some book casually, very random.There was only one sentence written on it, the handwriting was flamboyant and elegant, like a black butterfly spreading its wings.

——【Mr. Xiu, how are you doing recently? 】

Mr Hugh?

Hugh frowned.

It wasn't his name, and he didn't know anyone by that name.Could it be that Lisa took the wrong letter?Or maybe the person who entrusted her with the message found the wrong person?

Exhaustion came again like a tidal wave, Shugeyin slowly lowered his hand holding the letter, and the note fell from his hand to the floor like a fallen leaf.The man's head was tilted to one side, his soft light blue eyes were covered by thick eyelashes, and the sound of peaceful and even breathing could soon be heard in the silent room.

The moonlight is excellent tonight, and the bright moonlight shines into the room through the window, illuminating the white sticky note lying quietly on the floor.

Suddenly, a hand stretched out and picked up the note.

——It was Hugein.

Just now he sat upright suddenly, and after a quiet pause on the wicker chair, he got up and walked over to pick up the note.

Unlike before, this time, the man was obviously looking at the note very carefully.

It was just a short sentence, and he watched it for a long, long time.Suddenly, the man stretched out his right hand, and a small black flame bloomed on the tip of his index finger. The flame ignited the sticky note, and the note was quickly burned to ashes by the flame, but at the same time, a white smoke But it was born from the flames, and transformed into a line of extremely thin characters in the air.

——[Tonight at 10:00, see you at the Black Sour Plum Tavern. 】

The white smoke disappeared quickly, but the man was still looking at the place where the smoke stayed, and did not move for a long time.

The moonlight illuminated his face, it was still the handsome and elegant face, but the opened eyes were no longer the beautiful light blue, but had become eerie pale.

He glanced out of the window, and there was nothing reflected in those pupils that seemed to be condensed with frost, and the moonlight did not leave a clear light in his eyes—it was like a dark and dark underground abyss, where any light and hope would be lost. There is no way to stop in it, only eternal silence and emptiness.

Standing there for a while, he waved his hand, and the closed window suddenly opened, and the cold night wind blew into the room, blowing the long light blue hair on the man's shoulders.He jumped out of the window with a vigorous and flexible movement, and quickly disappeared into the vast night.

***

When the door of the private room was pushed open, Ersie was staring at the glass of black-red liquid in front of him without blinking.

Even when he heard the movement at the door, he didn't raise his head, still focused on the tiny bubbles slowly rising in the cup, motionless.

The chair opposite was pulled away, and a person sat down opposite.

"I'm here." His voice was very stiff, and his pronunciation was also very strange, as if someone who hadn't opened his mouth for a long time had almost forgotten how to speak, "You, what do you want me to do?"

Erxi raised his head, and his eyes flicked over the other party's tightly wrapped black cloak.

"Don't you ask who I am first?" Ersie smiled slightly.

The opponent's face was hidden under the shadow of the hood of the cloak, but even if he couldn't see his eyes, Ersey could feel the gaze of the opponent was full of vigilance and hostility.

"I……"

"Let me guess what you're going to say." Ersie interrupted unhurriedly, tapping a hand on the table, "You want to say, 'I'm not interested in who you are, I just want to know —Who the hell sent you here.' That's right?"

The man hidden under the cloak didn't say a word, but from the slight pause of the other's breathing, Ersey knew that he was right.

"Don't worry, I am the one who invited you here, and no other person or force instructed me. Of course, there is no third person here who knows your secret."

"Only, you?" The other party looked at Ersie again, and his voice was obviously full of contempt and distrust.

Lifting the glass in front of him, Ersie took a sip, frowning slightly, obviously the taste of the wine was not quite to his taste.

"I have no malice, take back your black gu." Taking another sip of the drink in his glass, Erxi glanced at the man's right hand hidden under the cloak, "You are also a smart person, you probably don't want to find out the situation Are you going to tear yourself apart with me before?"

Hughin—no, it should have said "Hugh", he was silent for a long time before speaking again.

"You're looking for me, what's the matter?"

Ersie crossed his hands, leaned back on the seat back, and said lightly.

"I can cure Hugein."

With a "bang", the chair behind Xio was brought down due to his sudden movement of getting up, and the man was tightly grasping the edge of the table. Because of the light, Ersey could see the face hidden under the hood a little bit clearly.

——The pair of white pupils that seemed to be blind had set off violent waves at this moment.

"Why should I believe you?" After a while, he paused every word, with a slight tremor in his voice.

"You already believe it, don't you?" Ersie shrugged. "Of course, even if you don't want to believe it, you're at the end of the road. You don't want to let go of any possibility, right?"

After a longer silence, the man suddenly reached out and took off the hood on his head.The warm yellow and soft light in the room made the paleness of that face more obvious, and in those cloudy white pupils, two tiny blood-colored light spots also appeared, tightly locked on Erxi's body.

"If, you're kidding me..." He pulled back his seat and sat down again, never leaving Ersie's eyes, "I will let you understand that Lich's Wrath is terrible."

"Mr. Hugh, you seem to have made a mistake?" After drinking the black-red liquid in the glass for the third time, Ersie played with the half-empty crystal glass and looked at the person opposite with a half-smile, "I I am not here to negotiate terms with you, because you are not qualified to negotiate with me at all—think about it, what if the first person I approach is not you, but Shugein?"

Hugh froze.

"What would he think if I went directly to Hugein and told him that the strange lich he met many years ago was actually his lovely brother who had been separated for so many years?"

"If I told him again that when he was in danger, it was his younger brother who gave up his body and placed the box of life in his dying soul, so that he could survive for five more years, what would he think?"

"If I also tell him that he has exhausted all the vitality of his younger brother's box of life in the past five years, at most one year, his soul will completely wither and die, and the other soul residing in his soul will also fly away. If he is annihilated, not only will he not be able to save himself, but he will also drag down his only close relative. If he wants to stop all this, he can only become my servant, obey my orders, and obey my orders. What do you think he will choose? "

Xio's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably. His white eyes were filled with bright red bloodshot eyes, which looked terrifying at first glance.But Erxi didn't seem to have seen this, and still said unhurriedly.

"Do you think that you are the only one in this world who understands Shugeyin? I am no less familiar with him than you. In front of him, I know exactly what to say, how to say, and how to achieve the best results. Chu."

As if a certain string had been completely broken, with a "click", a corner of the table was crushed by the extremely furious man. He stared fiercely at the silver-haired young man in front of him, with veins popping out on his forehead.

"You... devil!"

"Hahaha, each other."

Ersie laughed and drank the last drop of liquid in the crystal glass. The dark red wine moisturised his lips more and more beautifully, and those black eyes also began to slowly change color as if soaked in wine. Red until it becomes a complete blood pupil.

And it's not just the eyes that have changed.

Under Xio's astonished gaze, he saw that the silver hair on the shoulders of the "human race" in front of him began to lengthen visibly to the naked eye until it reached his waist; his skin color also changed from normal fairness to bloodless paleness, and his ears slightly The pointed hands with well-defined knuckles became more slender, and the handsome face that was already unforgettable became more beautiful and coquettish. At the same time, an astonishing aura of calmness and prestige emanated from this person , if this room was not covered by an enchantment, I am afraid that this momentum alone would have been able to alarm most of Fort Horstadt.

"Thank you for my kindness." The silver-haired demon prince put down the crystal cup and smiled at the Lich opposite, "Now, can we have a good talk?"

***

Three days later, the third selection exam of Horstburg Academy of Magic was held as scheduled.

As in the previous two competitions, candidates need to go to the examination room by themselves.As a loser, Erxi did not go out with Heluomi. He made a pot of black tea early in the morning like the day before, sat on the small round table by the window, and idly flipped through the pastime books at hand while drinking tea. , when Heluomi packed up to say goodbye to him, Erxi simply waved his hand.

"Good luck."

Hei Luomi nodded, he opened the door, one foot had already stepped out, but suddenly turned back.

"Brother Erxi, is what you said true?" The boy at the door looked back at Erxi.

"What?" Ersie didn't respond for a moment.

"You said—if I can pass the exam, you can also enter the academy."

"Ah..." Ersie rubbed her chin, seeming to remember, "Well, of course, I never lie."

In fact, if those words were heard by other people, they would probably laugh at Ursi's overthinking and whimsy, but Heluomi didn't seem to think there was any problem with this sentence at all, and he nodded earnestly after getting Ursi's affirmative answer.

"I'm sure I'll pass the exam," he said.

Ersey smiled, and didn't seem to hold out much hope.He watched the boy leave, and when Ersie was the only one left in the room, he let out a breath slowly.

[What is the probability of his success? ] Ersey asked.

[From the current calculation results, it is about 50%. 】The system answered quickly.

[Is it so tall? ] Erxi was slightly surprised, 【I thought the probability would be less than [-]%. 】

[The second round of exams is the one with the most variables. According to my previous calculations, the pass rate of Master Heluomi in that exam is actually only 15%. 】

[But he still passed. 】

[This is all thanks to you, Lord Orderer. ] The system said with a sigh of emotion, 【So the third exam... still depends on you, Lord Orderer. 】

【Hmph, let's see how far that kid can do it first. 】

Closing the book, Ersie looked out the window.Today the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly. Although the distance is far away, from this angle, one can still vaguely see the star tower of Horstberg School of Magic standing under the blue sky.

I don't know how long it took, the melodious bells came from a distance, because of the magic bonus, no matter the distance, every corner of the city can clearly hear the bells, streets and alleys, restaurants, bars, shops In the bazaar, no matter what people were doing or what they were busy with, when the bell rang, everyone involuntarily stopped what they were doing and looked towards the place where the bell rang—the towering star tower.

——The third exam has officially begun.

****Boundary Line of Reincarnation****

Discovering that person's secret was purely by chance.

That was the tenth time I had entered the Hostaburg Academy of Magic, and joining hands with Soko made me invincible, even without the help of the curse power of the little princess Alisa, and without the help of the Magic Academy without Zeki and Naylor. Man can fight me.

I have to kill Hei Luomi before he fully grows up. Although I have failed many times, this time I have planned for a long time and summed up the experience of failure in previous reincarnations, thinking that I have a sure chance of winning.

Our intrusion naturally caused everyone to panic. Impatiently, I slowly searched for someone, and directly activated the "star". Like a puzzle, it fell apart in an instant.The law of the power of space is slowly but irresistibly eroding this land bit by bit. I looked down at all of this and laughed arrogantly.

Come out.Looking at the slowly falling academy, the hatred and desire for revenge in my heart burned like a raging fire.

Damn human bastard, Hei Luomi, this time, you will never escape!

In the midst of the chaos, the few remaining strongholds seemed particularly abrupt, and the guy must be in one of them at this time.I sneered and rushed to the nearest place.

It was an open training field. As soon as I landed, the coercion I had brought was unscrupulously released. Immediately, everyone's legs weakened and fell to the ground. Blood was spilled, let alone against me.Among the teachers and students who were prostrate on the ground, a standing figure was particularly eye-catching.

It is not accurate to say that it is standing, because the other party is obviously on the verge of falling, his face is abnormally pale, and he looks like he will fall at any time, but despite this, the man is still struggling to walk towards me.

"Teacher Xiugeyin!" The terrified crowd exclaimed, but they couldn't move because their hands and feet were weak, so they could only try to dissuade this weak young man with words in panic.

"Mr. Shugeyin, what are you going to do?"

"Teacher Shugeyin, stop! You...you can't use magic at all!"

"Don't go to die, Mr. Shugeyin!"

A teacher who can't use magic?I raised my eyebrows slightly.

How could Zeqi leave such a waste in the school?

Perhaps it was out of curiosity, or because I have always been uninterested in the weak, I didn't make a move, but just watched him walk in front of me with a contemptuous face, blocking between me and the group of unarmed students.

"Ersi, son of the devil..." His voice was weak and hoarse, but his eyes were extremely firm. "What do you want to do by suddenly breaking into our academy?"

This is a very strange face.At least in my memory of attacking the academy several times, he is not among the powerful academy players who can trouble me.

I don't understand where this man's courage comes from. His breath is so weak, it's definitely not because of my coercion, but because his physical condition itself is very bad.Just such a sick and disabled person, knowing my identity, dare to confront me?

Ha, there will always be such pedantic idiots in the human race, just like those teachers who overestimated their abilities and tried to die with me when I broke into the academy. If they really value their students so much, be honest and obedient. Wouldn't it be good if Luo Mi handed it over?It is hopeless for them to refuse such a good deal with one person in exchange for the lives of the entire academy.

With a sneer in my heart, my eyes narrowed slightly, and I looked straight into the other's eyes.This person is so weak, in just three seconds, his will will be completely destroyed by my mental power, and he will become a mindless idiot.

But I didn't expect that I would encounter resistance.

The strange mental power fluctuations that do not belong to the human race suddenly dissipated from him, and the clear light blue eyes were suddenly filled with hoarfrost. Under my horrified gaze, the man gradually lost his frail appearance. It's the same face, but his demeanor has completely changed, there is a depressing gloomy and stern look between his brows; even his voice is no longer warm and soft as before, but cold, hoarse, and stiff The pronunciation even made one wonder if he hadn't spoken for many years.

"I won't let you hurt...brother."
