Card Master Guide.

Chapter 128 Firefly Fireworks and Tango

In the deep night, the honeysuckle meeting room.

The important figures of the three colleges sat around the round table, and under the leadership of the principal Aldrich, an emergency meeting was held.

An oppressive atmosphere prevailed at the meeting.

The demon god may wake up, this terrible news, like a heavy haze shrouded in everyone's heart.

"Is there any conclusive evidence to prove that this arson case is related to the 'Original Sin Demon God'?" Principal Tulip asked.

She still couldn't believe it.

Anyone who hears that the demon god who has been sleeping for thousands of years is about to be resurrected will feel a little absurd, just like hearing people say that the "end of the world" is about to come.

The old principal Liandong first arrived at the scene for inspection, and after listening to Lin Xiao's brief report, he felt confident.

"I have personally arrested many fallen card masters, and many of them believe in demon gods, and some of them even gained the favor of demon gods."

Aldridge said calmly: "This favor may be 'knowledge', or it may be 'power', like sweet poisonous wine, it will pollute the fire and drive the fallen card master into madness."

"On the body of the arsonist Vader, I also found traces of the demon god, and..."

Principal Liandong, who has lived for a century, sighed: "The remaining aura of the demon god is stronger than the sum of all I have encountered before."

The meeting room was dead silent.

Among the people present, there are many masters and even industry leaders, but they don't even have the courage to mention the taboo name of 'arrogant demon god'.

The bright star, the son of the dawn, led the angels to counterattack the god of war in the heavens.

Its brilliance can even rival that of God, and after falling, it can also become the arrogant demon god of hell...

With thousands of halos, honors, and titles in one body, the arrogant demon god who looks down on the world, even in the middle ages where saints and heroes gather, is an existence that human beings must look up to!

And at the moment when the road to promotion to the eighth rank was cut off, such a demon god was about to be resurrected.

A bone-chilling atmosphere filled the meeting room, and no one made a sound, as if they were silent under the shadow of fear.

There was a glimmer of light in the eyes of the old principal Liandong, thoughtful.

If Roman wants to "go to the moon" at all costs and reach the eighth level, does he also know the news that the demon god is about to be resurrected?
The current era is different from the Middle Ages. Even if the Demon God wakes up, it is impossible to violate the rules of this era.

In other words, no matter how strong the resurrected Him is, it is impossible for him to surpass the eighth level.

Because the traces of the gods are gradually moving away, people's belief in the gods is gradually weakening.

Like the golden, silver, bronze ages in decline.In the Bronze Age of chaotic killing, the gods would also weaken and even bleed.

"You don't need to be depressed." The old headmaster said calmly, "The younger generation has the courage and determination to fight to the death with the believers of the demon god. How can we be discouraged?"

"Even if the demon god's resurrection is unstoppable, I'm already determined to fight."

Everyone looked at the old headmaster in surprise, and saw that the headmaster had a different look on his face, and said calmly:
"Humans... have the latter."

The old principal's speech broke the cold atmosphere in the conference room, and people proposed proposals and discussed countermeasures one after another.

In order to avoid news leaks and panic, the three-school league will continue as usual, but the vigilance will be increased and the rewards for the winners will be increased.

At the same time, awards will be given to young teachers who performed outstandingly in this event.

"Lin Xiao? Is that the card master who fought against the fallen card master?" Principal Tulip asked.

"Yes." The old principal of Lonicera said, "The confrontation is just his hobby, and his major is the ancient linguistics professor of Lonicera."

The Red Lion principal, who had not spoken until now, picked up the information on the table, glanced at it, and suppressed his surprise: "20 years old?"

"20 years old." Aldrich nodded with a smile.

There was a chatter in the conference room.The two headmasters looked brilliant.

At the age of 20, he is usually still in the Card Master Academy, but this young man has become a full-fledged professor of Honeysuckle University!
In times of crisis, he even broke into the sea of ​​fire, rescued the wounded and solved the conspiracy of the fallen card master.

Genius is not enough to describe his performance.

How to dig him under his command is the key!

"Principal Aldrich." Principal Red Lion tentatively said, "I remember that you once mentioned the 'Young Scholars Exchange Study' program with our school. I don't know if your school still has this intention."

The old principal was scolding in his heart to get the hell out, but he said with a smile on his face, "Sorry, this project has been terminated."

"Tulip is willing to donate a new library and research room to Honeysuckle."

Principal Tulip almost bribed openly: "Professors from your school are also welcome to visit our school and serve as visiting professors."

The old headmaster let out a haha ​​to fool the past, and his heart was full of satisfaction and emotion.

The gods have fallen, but human beings can pass on the torch from generation to generation, relying on inheritance and successors.

A few more people like Lin Xiao...the resurrection of the demon god, so why not be afraid!

*
The dance was unexpectedly interrupted.

Fortunately, no one was killed in the fire, but it was a pity that the library and foundation were damaged.

In the night, Du Gangang lay on a stretcher.

The medical staff were shocked that a person who was burned in such a state could still maintain his mobility.

Before leaving, Du Jingang glanced at Lin Xiao and nodded deeply, not only to thank him for saving his life, but also to pay tribute to the big guys in the group.

Among other things, it was the 'epee man' who led Lonicera to participate in the competition. Du Jingang thought, some negligible minor fouls by Lonicera can also be ignored!
Lin Xiao needs to review the information with Qiao Linna as an 'investigation team operator'.

Communication on campus is not very convenient, and her voice rang through the headset: "There is a winding mountain road outside the school, I will wait for you there."

During the day, students often practice driving skills on the mountain roads. After all, the "vehicle card" is an important card for a card master, so driving skills naturally cannot be neglected.

"learn."

Lin Xiao just made a brief report to the old principal.

Standing in the corridor of the administrative building under the night, looking in the direction of the library, you can easily see the ruins and the hillside behind.

A red motorcycle was parked beside the girl, her ruby-like eyes looked at the campus, and her golden ponytail swayed in the night wind.

The roar of the engine came from the mountain road, the headlights opened a beam of light, and the black motorcycle came from the end of the mountain road, reached the top of the mountain, and parked side by side with the 'Red Baron'.

"How's it going?" said Jolena, arms folded, in a businesslike tone.

She was still wearing that beautiful dark red evening dress, the night wind caressed her hair and snowy neck, her tone was cold, and the tiny hairs stood up on her back like a trembling.

"The league continues, but the three principals already know the news that the 'devil god is about to be resurrected', and will increase their vigilance in the league."

Lin Xiao said: "Part of the plan has been completed...the demon god has indeed taken the bait, but what we may have to face is not the believer sent by the demon god, but the demon god himself."

"You don't look very scared." Qiao Linna looked into Lin Xiao's eyes.

"It would be a lie to say that I am not afraid. After all, I still don't know the true power of the Demon God, but the more afraid I am, the more prepared I am to go all out."

Lin Xiao said seriously: "The only way to overcome fear is to face it."

The evening breeze blows on the top of the mountain in the night, making it slightly chilly, and the fragrance of the grass and bushes wafts in. There is a viewing platform nearby, with street lamps and stone benches erected, and the angle of view is just right to see the Honeysuckle University under the stars in the sky.

Qiao Linna suddenly lowered her head to look, and Lin Xiao lowered her head, seeing her stepping on a pair of black and gold high-heeled shoes, with thin straps strung on her snow-white instep.

"Can I take it off first?" She blushed, said forcefully and shyly.

"Of course, it's hard work, please go ahead." Lin Xiao said.

The girl lowered her head and stretched out her hand to take off her heel, her figure was unstable, and Lin Xiao grabbed her hand.

She took a look, did not speak, took off her heels, bent over to pick up a pair of high heels, and stepped barefoot on the cold ground.

"I'm not afraid of demon gods..." The girl sighed as if relieved, "I'm just afraid of high heels."

"Then you still wear it."

"It's specially prepared for the ball." Jolena walked to the stone bench and sat down, throwing the two high heels aside.

The evening wind was extremely cold, and Jolena sat on the stone bench, looking at the night sky: "As you said, we all need to face our fears."

"It's a pity that it's useless?" Lin Xiao said.

"No pity." Jolena whispered, "just pity."

"It's a pity that many preparations are not used in the end, and it's a pity that I am only one step away from the finish line every time."

The girl was a little annoyed, she rubbed her blond hair, like a irascible lion, she drooped her shoulders in the end, closed her eyes and sighed softly:
"Everything is always full of regrets...it's normal."

After self-regulation, Jolena returned to normal, turned her head and said, "Let's go, there will be a second round tomorrow."

"I didn't even hear that whining."

Lin Xiao was among the dots of fireflies, each of which was like streamers of emerald color, fluttering in the night with the evening wind.

"But the fireflies are beautiful." Lin Xiao said in admiration, "Tonight is not in vain."

The glow of the fireflies is so beautiful that it is almost unreal.

Qiao Linna raised her cheeks, staring at the fireflies that were gradually flying away, and those rays of light gradually melted into the night.Lin Xiao had a look of regret on his face.

The girl suddenly became emotional, put on her high heels, and hurriedly approached the 'Red Baron': "Come with me!"

"Where are you going?" Lin Xiao was at a loss.

"Mountainside, spring water halfway up the mountain, there must be fireflies there!"

Start the engine, the motorcycle rumbles, and the girl with a high ponytail in a dress leans over the back of the red motorcycle, her legs are white and proud, and she notices Lin Xiao's eyes.

"There is a base," Jolena said.

"An honest gentleman also guards against it?" Lin Xiao said.

"Follow!"

She didn't even show the protective clothing, like a girl chasing the wind, her ponytail fluttering in the night.

Lin Xiao gave her ten seconds to step on the 'Shock Rock', staring at the dashboard of the car: "You are a limited class, buddy!"

Harley burst out with awe-inspiring roar, rushed out like an arrow from the string, and galloped in the night.

The two of them were out of breath and parked their motorcycles halfway up the mountain.

Misty mist rose from the spring water on the mountainside, and the fireflies disappeared and extinguished in the white mist, like stars twinkling in a cloud.

Lin Xiao turned his head and saw Qiao Linna's chest rising and falling, and a few strands of hair sticking to her temples, she suddenly laughed, she was as beautiful as a pearl.

"sorry to bother you."

"what?"

"Let you run around with me." She pursed her lips, her eyes were like rubies, and she looked up at Lin Xiao, "Next, where are you going?"

"No. D-31, Kelin District, Xingtu City." Lin Xiao is very satisfied with his new home, "I just moved to a new home, and I have the opportunity to invite you as a guest."

"I mean... where will you go after you leave the Federation?"

Lin Xiao was slightly taken aback.

"You will always leave. I understand that you are not limited to one country." Jolena said softly, "You seem to want to escape, but you must stay."

"The world is so big, I want to see it." Lin Xiao said nonsense and fooled it.

He just felt that the girl's eyes looked a little sad...like, reluctance?

Lin Xiao was a little nervous, uneasy, and thinking about whether he had fallen into one of the three major illusions in life, "Does she like me?"

He hates guessing, and he doesn't like to bear the expectations of others. It is best not to answer questions that have no standard answers.

This kind of "waste Asahi" who is the hero of the anime, always looks like a scumbag, and Lin Xiao is also aware of this, so he stays single, does not hurt others, and guarantees that he will not be hurt.

Women only affect the speed of my playing cards!Lin Xiao thought.

"Okay, let's go." Jolena said a little lonely.

Lin Xiao nodded, and followed Qiao Linna towards the parked motorcycle.

He suddenly thought of something, and looked down at his watch: "It's almost twelve o'clock."

"Have you prepared the pumpkin carriage?" Jolena asked calmly, the corners of her mouth slightly betraying her.

Lin Xiao suddenly realized that the seemingly indifferent girl occasionally said witty words.

"No." Lin Xiao put his hands in his pockets, "The next stop of the three-school league is Tulip. The students who held the dance told me that there will be a fireworks show at twelve o'clock to commemorate the end of the honeysuckle competition."

Lin Xiao raised his head: "I just don't know if there will be a fireworks show after such a big mistake."

"It feels like it's been delayed..." Qiao Linna followed suit.

"Yes." The two stood side by side under the dim night sky.

A cluster of lights suddenly rose up, and gorgeous fireworks exploded at the highest point. Hundreds of streams of light were like falling meteors, instantly illuminating the faces of the two of them.

"Fireworks..." Jolena said in a daze.

Fireworks are in full bloom in the sky, like flowers of different colors and shapes, purple tulips, fiery red roses, golden sunflowers, countless streamers falling, and the sound of fireworks bursting merged into a grand symphony .

Honeysuckle's old principal, Aldridge, is such a flamboyant and romantic old man. The more oppressive the atmosphere, the more he wants to make the festival atmosphere more lively.

Lin Xiao turned her head to the side, Qiao Linna raised her tall and delicate side face, she held her breath, her eyes reflected a beautiful light.

"It's so beautiful." Lin Xiao said.

"Yes." Jolena smiled, "I have no regrets tonight."

Lin Xiao's heart was pounding, and he cheered himself up from the bottom of his heart, and took off his right hand glove.

Qiao Linna turned her head, Lin Xiao stood under the grand fireworks, and stretched out her right hand with the black tinder printed on it.

"Do you want to dance a tango?" Lin Xiao was a little nervous: "I see you are at the ball, it seems..."

Lin Xiao was taken aback when a cold and soft little hand was put into his palm, seeing Qiao Linna approaching him, with an unconcealable blush on her fair cheeks.

"It's a little embarrassing on this occasion." Qiao Linna took Lin Xiao's other hand and said softly, "However, I agree..."

Lin Xiao felt a burst of softness and warmth in his palms, the fires of each other were close to each other, and the dance steps and bodies of both sides were equally stiff.

But there is no right or wrong in tango, and it doesn't matter if you dance wrong.

The key point is that Lin Xiao can see the girl's eyes, which gradually softened from the original dodge.

some where.

A hooded figure, resembling a human, walks slowly towards a bonfire.

The leaping purple flame reflected the figure of the winged man on the wall.

"My resurrection ceremony does not require your intervention."

His voice is magnetic and moving, but it reveals contempt and disdain:
"You are still the same, no matter what, you want to get involved, so as to satisfy your insatiable desire."

Lucifer sneered and said:

"God of Greed, Mammon."
