Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 113 Sense of Crisis

ancient capital.

In the magnificent private room of the restaurant, people mingled with each other.

Sitting at the main table is a beautiful woman who still has charm. Her skin is as fair as jade, her slightly wrinkled face has picturesque eyebrows, and her whole person has a kind and graceful temperament. You can imagine how gorgeous she was when she was young.

"Come, let's congratulate Elder Ling Xi." Everyone at the round table stood up and raised their glasses, looking flatteringly at the beautiful woman in charge.

"Thank you everyone. I, Ling Xi, have been in the ancient capital for two years. I can't reach where I am today without the help of all my colleagues. Please continue to work hard in the future so that our Hunter Alliance Ancient Capital Branch can play a greater role. ", the beautiful woman Ling Xi stood up with a smile and drank the wine in the glass neatly.

"Today is the first time I have hosted a banquet for all my colleagues since I took office. Please forgive me for my inconvenience." Ling Xi smiled and downed another glass of wine.

"Elder Lingxi, if we are the compass, you are Nan. Only when you are at the helm can we have confidence in our hearts!"

"Oh, yes, yes."

The wine table was filled with smiling faces, and the atmosphere seemed extremely harmonious.

When the wine is full, they shake their heads in groups of three or three, show loyalty to others, and gossip about gossip.

Ling Xi sat in the main seat, listening perfunctorily to the disgusting flattery from the left and right, but her heart drifted to the three young people gathered together in the distance.

"I heard that the demon capital has been very uneasy in the past two years," Xiao Wang said mysteriously: "My eldest brother served as the secretary to their deputy chief judge Zu Guangyao at the demon capital trial. I heard that Zu Guangyao was assassinated in the past two years. Several times, Dekui was a tough guy, and now he’s still alive and kicking.”

"Is it the Black Holy See? I heard that there was a lot of trouble in Bo City two years ago." Xiao Zhang responded quickly.

"It's hard to say, it might be one of their own. Ever since the Bo City incident, the news that Zu Guangyao's 'Deputy Chief Judge' was going to have the word 'Deputy' removed has spread a lot. It's hard to guarantee that there's someone inside... Ahem, everyone knows. I understand, just click on it." Xiao Sun smiled knowingly and clinked his wine glass with Zuo Zuo.

"What are you talking about? You are so happy." Ling Xi walked over elegantly on high heels.

"Nothing, nothing." The three of them stood up.

"I heard you just talked about Demon City?" Ling Xi mentioned it accidentally, with a look of nostalgia on his face: "Back then, I participated in the first demon hunting mission in Demon City. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost 30 years."

All three of them were a little reserved and embarrassed.

As a young man who has just entered the society, his flattering skills are still unfamiliar and he doesn’t know how to answer the question.

Ling Xi didn't mind either and clinked glasses one by one with a smile, "You young people are the new force of our Hunter Alliance. This world in the future will be yours after all. Come on, work hard!"

"Thank you, Elder Lingxi." The three of them were flattered, holding the wine glasses in both hands and bowing their waists.

……

Xu Shen's face was as heavy as water when he returned to the academy.

Zu Guangyao brought him infinite pressure.

The aristocratic families used force and plunder, and used too many shameless and dirty methods.

Today Zu Guangyao can make an agreement with his gentleman, but would he be willing to do it if it were any other family?

Moreover, Feng Zhoulong said that there is no shortage of magic in this world to deprive talents.

For a time, the sense of crisis rose sharply.

During this trip, he originally wanted to go to Qingzhen to look for Master Yu, but unfortunately, she was nowhere to be seen in Qingzhen. The agate-headed spider on Biyuan Mountain disappeared, and the green moths all over the mountain also disappeared without a trace. .

Obviously, Master Yu has no intention of coming back.

Xu Shen went to Biyuan Mountain and Qingyi Lake to avoid the birth of new leader-level creatures and destroy this thousand-year-old town.

Fortunately, the pattern on the mountain has not changed much, and several warrior-level creatures live in harmony.

Thinking about it carefully, perhaps it was the presence of Yu Shishi that attracted the agate-headed spider and put the town in danger of overthrowing. After asking around, it turned out that she should have gone north.

For more than a year, there was no news about Jiang Shaojun, and Tang Yue knew very little about totems.

The clues to find the totem were completely lost.

Without a totem, how can he mediate with the wealthy families?

Counting Academy?

The academy is a beast where aristocratic families hunt for geniuses. Behind every school teacher and star student there is more or less the shadow of family influence.

The roots are intricate and complex, and the water is very deep.

Xu Shen sat in the dormitory and thought hard, clenching and loosening the white tiger pendant in his hand.

"Hey, the big devil is back?" Zhao Manyan teased: "Going out to relax at night?"

"Huh?" Xu Shen put away the pendant. "There will be a concert rehearsing for Jealousy at the college gymnasium later. Let's go and see it together?"

"Not in the mood", Xu Shen shook his head.

"You really don't want to go? Juju is a national idol, a pure and beautiful girl, sweet and lovely. I heard she is more beautiful than the goddess of fauns."

"Faun? Who?"

"Munu Jiaobai, he is a very wealthy family. The family paid for Mo Fan to win back a portion of the various resources intact."

"Awesome!" Xu Shen gave a thumbs up. As expected, she was born into a wealthy family. She could win people's hearts by looking for opportunities in times of need and spend a small amount of money to do big things. This woman is not a light-saving lamp.

"Are you going to the concert?" Zhao Manyan asked again.

"The vast end of the world is..."

Xu Shen shook his head, pointed to the phone and said, "You go first, I'll answer the call and check on the situation."

"Okay, see you later." Zhao Manyan sprayed some perfume and left the dormitory coquettishly.

"Hey, Lingling, did you miss me?" Xu Shen smiled, and his mind couldn't help but think of those cute and cute twin tails.

"Huh, it's been a year, and even a pig can't sleep with you." Lingling wrinkled her cute nose and said, "I'm outside the college now. Come and pick me up. It's urgent."

"Huh?" Xu Shen was alert: "Something happened?"

"A monster has sneaked into your college. I went to your school leader. He thought I was playing a prank."

"What monster?"

"I'm not sure yet. I'll send you a copy of the information and I'll help you later."

"OK", Xu Shen hung up the phone, got dressed and went out in a hurry, running on the road while reading the information sent by Lingling on his mobile phone.

His intelligence is no less than that of humans. He hides among the crowd during the day, sheds his human skin and hunts at night. He likes to hang people up to suck their blood, and he is extremely contagious...

Damn it, it sounds creepy!

How could such a terrifying monster sneak into the magical city!

"Old Jiang, something happened in the college!" Xu Shen ran and made a phone call. It was already dusk and there was no time to lose. He repeated the information sent by Lingling like he was pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

Jiang Yunming did not dare to neglect and went to inform the college teacher.

And Xu Shen also met Lingling after a year's absence.

She still has twin ponytails, but she has grown a bit taller, her face has become thinner, and her originally flat chest actually has a slight rise and fall.

Puberty is here!

Lingling drank milk tea with an expressionless face and put a snowflake-shaped earring into Xu Shen's hand.

"Give it back!"

"Taking it without telling you is stealing," Xu Shen joked.

The Heart of Ice and Snow was taken away, and Yu Mian told him when he woke up.

He was relieved to have the bald donkey imprisoned in Qingtian Hunting Station, so he was in no hurry to get it back.

"Hmph, do you expect my grandpa to wait for you for a year?"

"Did anything come out of the trial?" Xu Shen asked with a smile.

"No," Lingling shook her head and said, "He has a single line of contact with Salan. He is usually called when performing tasks. Usually he is like an ascetic, going around on pilgrimages and worshiping Buddha. He knows very little information."

"That's such a pity. I thought I caught a big fish and I'm already super-level, but why am I just a working boy?" Xu Shen said with a look of regret.

"It's not all without gain. He mentioned a man named Black Medicine Master, who is probably the maker of the violent potion." Lingling warned like a little adult: "Grandpa said that the Black Church probably has some means to find the monk. , and he is often absent. Accidents will inevitably happen to Qingtian Hunting Station, so it is safer to leave him here. After all, he is a super-level mage. Although he has no value, it is a pity to kill him. Maybe he will be used in the future. You take good care of him. .”

Xu Shen was stunned: "So, that bald donkey is still in the heart of ice and snow?"

Lingling nodded and said: "The most dangerous place is the safest place. No one will doubt that the dignified super mage is being imprisoned by a rookie. Don't let him out and leak his breath. The Black Vatican will not look for you."

Damn...

Xu Shen put the earrings away speechlessly.

If it weren't for the mind stone that Old Man Bao rented to him when his soul died in Nirvana, how could he have taken on such a hot potato?
