winter era

Chapter 29
"I'm sorry Kaos, can you repeat what you just said? What did you just say? I don't seem to hear clearly." Niya felt that she might be overworked due to the recent backlog of financial statements, so she had auditory hallucinations The phenomenon.

You must have misheard just now, right?This kind of powerful figure who has become a great wizard still needs to go to school?He is not a kid with no social experience. Even in the capital of the empire, the Rost family, who has connections with the empire's mages, can find out what Kaos, a well-known wizard, has done. Crazy behavior.

"I said you... do you know your identity? Do you know how scary your resume is?"

"Of course." The frail young man unceremoniously opened a murderous arc.The pale and not very healthy tongue licked his lips with a little dark red fruit liquid, as if tasting blood.

"The devil, the dead, the indescribable monster, the chief mage of the Northland, that person is all about me. And in the hearts of many people, I may have a more vicious name, right?" The rebellious man lay Laughed presumptuously on the sofa. "I remember people calling me undead? What an exaggerated title. I'm not the kind of monster that can't be killed."

"But in the eyes of others, you are much more terrifying than the undead." Niya rolled her eyes.He rolled up his sleeves and poured him a cup of black tea.He casually put a few cubes of sugar in the teacup on the saucer, and handed it to the young man.

"Oh, thanks. You haven't forgotten my taste after all these years?"

"Don't be kidding, Kaos. How could I forget. I basically remember everything you said. I'm not that kind of heartless person." Seeing the person in front of him blowing and drinking black tea with his legs crossed , Niya sighed slightly.He also crossed his legs and put his fingers on his thighs, quietly recalling the great achievements of this person after he left the imperial capital in his mind.

To sum it up, it's just six words—everyone who breathes will be killed.

Once in an ambush, one person killed 63 bandits in a bloody act.All of them were nailed to a cross with their hands and feet hung upside down in mid-air. The 63 crosses floating in the night sky have become the nightmare of countless travelers.According to rumors, those robbers with only their skeletons left still had their own consciousness when they were hung up. The wailing from the undead in mid-air and the way that the bones were dead gave all passers-by the deepest feeling of their souls. of fear.

It sounds cruel and tyrannical to an inhuman level, right?But how could Kaos be such a simple character?And that's just part of his résumé.When he was a teenager, he killed seven knights and sixteen attendants during knight hunting and smashed the heads of more than 20 hounds with his own hands.When he became a magician, he showed an extraordinary talent for terror. He once directly killed a magician higher than his own level in a head-to-head confrontation, and used his own mental coercion and consciousness to drive the horror of the three crazy. Members are not so easy to dismiss.

I'm afraid this man doesn't even know how many lives his black robe has swallowed.The area he walked through was undoubtedly piled up with blood and skulls.Even in the Northland, he released his tyrannical and indifferent character without any scruples, and he didn't know how many people he killed in a year.Sounds like a real demon reincarnated.

However, as long as anything is just hearsay, it will be more or less distorted.

"I said Kaos, how many of your rumors are true?"

"Huh? What rumor?"

"Killing mothers and babies, torturing businessmen, persecuting religious people, paving one's own path with blood, etc. Are these all true?" Niya's fingers turned the teacup in her hand, and a pair of dark green eyes stared at it seriously. Looking at the weak and wild young man in front of him.

"They're talking nonsense."

Kaos shrugged indifferently, and put slightly sweet black tea into his mouth.

"It is true that I have killed quite a few people over a period of time, but they all have their own way of death. People who don't respect life, people who try to summon demons, people who blaspheme their own spirit, people who humiliate other people's intentions , and people who are full of malice towards everything. These all have reasons for taking death, and they are also doing acts of looking for death. I am just a proxy."

Kaos frowned and tapped the rim of the teacup with his fingers, listening to the sound coming from above.In the end, the gloomy great wizard sang a passage of the imperial religion in an aria, as if singing.

"Only the righteous will be forgiven, and these chosen ones will be protected. Mercy will shine upon them, and angels will bless the righteous. They belong to God, and they will prosper, and they will be Blessings. God will help these people, the Illuminati will shine on them, God will bring them peace. Behold, he comes before the people with thousands of holiness. He will execute judgment on all and destroy all ungodliness People, all beings will be found guilty."

"As always, you are so arrogant, Kaos. Are you afraid that the Patriarch of the World will trouble you?" Niya, who had heard the reference earlier, smiled slightly, brought the teacup to her mouth again, and drank gracefully.

"All will be destroyed by fear, guardian angels will tremble, and great men will fear the end of the world. Mountains will be shaken, mountains will be made smaller, and will be melted by fire into wax that flows over the world. The earth will be utterly torn and divided , everything on the earth will be destroyed, and all people on the earth will be judged until the eternal promise comes. Is this what you want to say? Since the people of the apocalypse punish the world, it seems that your memory has not declined How many."

"What's wrong?" Facing Niya's sarcasm, Kaos was not at all embarrassed, but smiled brazenly. "Anyway, in the eyes of those people, we mages are just destroyers of the world, and what we bring will always be destruction."

"That was ten years ago. Don't hold grudges like this. It's been almost five years since the doctrine reformed. What is being advocated now is the concept that God is me. The convergence and differentiation of divine arts has long been parallel to magic—forget it, don't say it." That's it." Realizing that she was far away from the topic, Niya rubbed her brows with a headache, and it took a while to remember what the original conversation was.

"I remember you said you were going to school, right? Why?"

"Because the sage gave me an order. I told you so." The great wizard who drank up the black tea put the teacup back on the table and corrected his sitting posture.He crossed his chin and stared intently at the friend in front of him.

"'Your combat power is indeed amazing, but your knowledge is still too little. For example, you are completely unaware of the crisis of shadow power, so you'd better go to a serious class to study again.' Then That's what a sage who is passionate about education told me. But I was at the level of a great wizard at the time, and I thought he was joking. But when I faced that confrontation, I thought about the worst possible consequences. So I exchanged all my shadow energy and learning qualifications for Skysage's Beacon Circle, which is my last resort."

Kaoske had never thought about the method of dying with anyone, it couldn't be more stupid.So he traded his unstable future for an absolutely stable protector.Anyway, the shadow energy is also a product of being abandoned by him, so it is a perfect deal to hand it over to the sky sage in exchange for protection.

"Furthermore, regarding the information I handed over to the past, Sky Sage did notice some problems in it. Even if there are three replica great wizards, they are still great wizards after all. In order to deceive the information, I am now looking for a substitute to explain that I am in Beijing. Command the battle. Use that double as a bait to lure the so-called Paradise organization, after all, as an organization, it is a bit too much. And I will use the identity of "Kaos Nicholas" to stay in your academy. That's it."

"Ah... In short, this means that your vacation is only at a designated location?" Niya frowned to make sure she understood everything the friend in front of her said. "Just get you to that academy, right?"

"You can understand that." Kaos nodded.

"Then what about your age? My youth academy is at the graduation age. Don't you know what will happen if you enter as a 20-year-old? There's nothing wrong with your behavior, right?"

"I remember that there should be no problem." The great wizard crossed his fingers and said doubtfully. "The erosion of shadows brings about the loss of human spirit. I first came into contact with shadows at the age of 16, and I completely lost most of human emotions a year ago. Now it has been completely erased, so my mental age is probably just right if I convert it. No big deal."

"Although I want to say that you must have had a psychological problem when you converted your mental age... But since you said it's okay, then it's okay." Nya tapped the edge of her teacup with a troubled expression There was a clicking sound, but it was only a few seconds of embarrassment before he made up his mind. "No problem, as long as I don't do too much, my family will be able to suppress it. I will start the formalities tomorrow, and you can go to school with me... By the way, what is your alternate name?"

"It's still Kaos. Kaos. Nicholas."

"Although there is no taste in naming, it still matches you well."

The delicate young girl was still dressed in men's clothes, and she sarcastically said something, stood up, picked up a pen and paper from the desk behind her, and wrote some cursive words rustling in the dim candlelight.Before Kaos could drink a cup of black tea, Niya blew on the ink on the paper, folded the letter in half and stuffed it into a gold-edged envelope next to it.Then he stood up angrily and threw the envelope on the table in front of Kaos.

"Hey, your letter."

"Treat people so rudely, be careful that you won't get married in the future, okay?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

"Of course I don't care? Anyway, you know, I don't care about these things."

A certain former great wizard shrugged indifferently, and put down the teacup in his hand.He picked up the gold-edged envelope on the table and stuffed it into his sleeve without even looking at it.Then, under Niya's surprised gaze, she stood up and stretched.Looking at Niya opposite him with a sunny smile that absolutely didn't match his body and complexion, he showed white teeth that couldn't shine at all.

"That's what I said, Niya..."

"So it's Dracula!!"

"Niya, I still want you to do me a favor."

With no intention of changing his words at all, Kaos just smiled and looked at the angry friend in front of him. "Can you let me live here? I have absolutely nowhere to go."

"Huh?" The 'eldest young master' of the Rost family raised his eyebrows in surprise, with a look of disbelief. "Haven't you ever thought about how miserable your life will be in the future? You ran to me when you couldn't even find a house? You don't believe me, I just threw you outside and let you live with a homeless man Do you eat and live together?!"

"You know, because of various reasons, and anyway, isn't there you? You are not the kind of person who abandons friends."

Kaos spread his hands, and then grinned a rebellious smile.

"Ahhh—how did I meet someone like you!" Seeing such a rascal-looking guy, the girl pulled her hair and yelled helplessly.With a look of reluctance, he rummaged through the drawer, and finally threw him a bunch of keys.Still arranged his residence for Kaos.

"The room on the fourth floor is free to use, and no one will live in it anyway. I will leave it to you, and get up on time at six o'clock tomorrow morning and go to the restaurant for me to eat. Otherwise, don't blame me for not taking you to school."

"Then see you tomorrow, Niya~"

"It's Dracula! You bloody bastard!"

Kaos took the bunch of bronze keys, smiled and shook the keys in his hand a few times, stood up, walked to the door and opened the door.Finally, amidst Niya's loud roar, she walked towards the fourth floor of the small castle, shaking the key chain.
