Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start

Page 164

He was also burned for a while, and only after all the disrespectful thoughts he had towards that demon disappeared from his mind did the burning sensation that felt like his soul was being ignited slowly dissipate.

The reaction of the people in the ancient capital today is not because of some trickery of demons and gods, but because of the fear that comes after their psychological defenses were shattered by that direct and shocking power!

The people of the ancient capital were not defending the demon god, but were acting entirely out of reverence!

Even he, no matter what, could not muster the slightest doubt in his heart about that demon god.

dare not!

“Human mages’ understanding of the Dark Dimension is still too shallow. I’ve been investigating a lot of information about this area recently, but I haven’t found anything,” Shao Zheng said.

"That dark demon god, who could repel the million-strong army led by the eight dead kings, is undoubtedly an emperor. Moreover, judging from the changes in the world caused by that demon god, he is no ordinary emperor."

"For now, I intend to characterize the Demon God as an ancient king who has been resurrected."

“That doesn’t make sense,” a middle-aged member of parliament said.

"The magic that the ancient King Qin Shi Huang possessed during his lifetime did not include fire magic, and that method of burning the soul should be a curse magic. Also, the storm..."

"Is this an undetermined resurrection of an ancient king? Could it be that you all intend to tell the whole world that we have summoned a dark demon god?" Shao Zheng interrupted.

What will happen to the people of the ancient capital?

"We failed to detect the catastrophe in the ancient capital beforehand, nor were we able to provide timely support. We even almost watched helplessly as the ancient capital was devoured by the undead. Now that the ancient capital has survived this calamity, do you all intend to investigate their responsibility for using forbidden dark arts?"

Forbidden arts, at least on the surface, are explicitly prohibited by the magic associations of the five continents. This terrifying forbidden art, which involves millions of people to summon an emperor-level dark demon god, will cause huge international controversy. What will happen if it is used by someone with ulterior motives to label the survivors of the ancient capital as evil believers of the demon god?

Destroy the ancient capital?

The preparation of the forbidden technique was ordered and supported by Han Ji, and he also gave his approval. If they can't save the ancient capital, does that mean the ancient capital can't save itself?

"But……"

"After I finish speaking, who objects?" Shao Zheng asked.

"..."

The meeting room was silent. To object at this moment would be tantamount to advocating for sending the millions of people in the ancient capital, who had just escaped death, back to their doom. No one here had the guts to do that.

By default, once the matter is exposed, it is Shao Zheng and Han Ji's responsibility, and it has little to do with them.

"Then... what about Lü Cheng's case?" a middle-aged councilor asked.

"Threatening the National Magic Association, researching forbidden arts without permission, and those two strange dark creatures by his side, vampires, and the Black Vatican, Grand Deacon Mu He of Hujin, according to our investigation, took great care of Lü Cheng when he was in Bo City. Although we don't have direct evidence to prove his relationship with the Black Vatican, he is highly suspicious."

"So?" Shao Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

While I was away, they caused trouble and almost summoned a spatial storm to the capital!

Now that I'm back, do you still want to cause trouble?

"..."

Noticing Shao Zheng's change in attitude, the middle-aged legislator wisely kept quiet.

He just mentioned it casually.

What does that murderous look mean?

What, could it be that Lü Cheng is Shao Zheng's illegitimate son?

Isn't that Su Lu's nephew?

Or did you two become in-laws?

……

"How is Lü Cheng doing?"

After the meeting, Shao Zheng specifically sought out Pang Lai.

According to Han Ji's report, Lü Cheng entered the Abyss of Fiends and was unconscious when he reappeared. According to Ling Xi, an elder of the Hunter Alliance, they got lost and separated after entering the Abyss of Fiends, and were later brought out by the two people who had entered the Abyss of Fiends.

Being able to freely enter and exit the Abyss of Fiends is a skill that even a super-level mage cannot possess.

Forbidden curse!

And it's a space-based system!

“It should be fine,” Pang Lai said.

"Otherwise, a spatial storm would be hanging overhead while we're having a meeting."

Shao Zheng lowered his voice, "Didn't you go check?"

Pang Lai's eye twitched slightly. "Am I crazy? Going there now would be asking for a beating?"

Song Qiming is in Shanghai, and that old guy doesn't dare to go there!

He dares?

"Go and see, find out his attitude," Shao Zheng said.

"The trials of the World University Competition are about to begin. If he is still interested, I will try my best to persuade these people to reserve a place for him. If he is not interested, I will not force him."

The World University Competition is somewhat unique in nature. It is a contest of power among domestic elite families, as well as an exhibition match where countries around the world flex their muscles. Therefore, Lü Cheng's situation is indeed a bit troublesome.

Chinese people are very sensitive; if this matter escalates, it will become a matter of national dignity.

“No need to ask.” Pang Lai shook his head.

"He will definitely go."

"Why?" Shao Zheng asked, puzzled.

“Because someone doesn’t want him to go,” Pang Lai said.

"If it weren't for this incident, he probably wouldn't be very interested in the university competition. At most, he would treat it as a trip, and he would probably just go through the motions. But now someone doesn't want him to go."

"Then he absolutely has to go."

A rebellious spirit passed down through generations!

"By the way, you'd better deal with that matter from before," Pang Lai reminded her.

"This isn't something I can decide with just a few words," Shao Zheng sighed.

For such a momentous event in the ancient capital, involving the lives of millions, the decapitation plan, though radical, was the only thing they could do at the time.

As for including Lü Cheng, a high-level mage, it's just a matter of a word. So many super-level mages, even Zhu Meng, were dragged into it. Could it be that they're settling personal scores? Who has a grudge against Lü Cheng?

"Moreover, this matter did not come out of thin air," Shao Zheng said in a low voice.

"According to the information from the trial, Lü Cheng did indeed have a special connection with the Black Vatican, and he even had multiple contacts with Salam."

Pang Lai's expression changed slightly. "Where did this information come from?"

“We have spies from the Black Vatican among our people, and naturally, the Black Vatican also has spies among our people,” Shao Zheng sighed.

"The reason I couldn't oppose this before was because of this news."

The Supreme Court's intelligence, leaked at great personal risk by an undercover agent from the Black Vatican, revealed that Salang indeed had a special connection with Lü Cheng. Therefore, the Supreme Court instructed Han Ji to keep a close eye on Lü Cheng.

Even without the events in the ancient capital, Lü Cheng was already a highly valued individual by the Supreme Tribunal!

Even the plan to behead the ancient capital was initially intended by the Supreme Tribunal to use Lü Cheng to lure out Salang, with the others merely serving as decoys.

But they didn't expect the Black Vatican to create such a large-scale operation, even controlling Sha Yuan. A million-strong army of undead surrounded the ancient capital, causing communications to be cut off. After that, Han Ji had to decide what to do on his own.

However, at the start of the decapitation plan, he had already instructed the Supreme Inquisition to give Han Ji a hidden order: if the plan failed, regardless of whether Lü Cheng was from the Black Vatican or not, they could not actually take action against him.

This isn't because he abused his power or bent the law; it's just that reality is so messed up!

Is Lü Cheng a member of the Black Vatican?

and then?

kill him?

Then let millions, even tens of millions of people across the country turn into foam in Su Meng's spatial storm?

Unless Lü Cheng really does something outrageous and immoral, they can't take action against him. Even if that kid really goes astray, they can't kill him; they can only restrain him!

This is not to say that he is afraid of trouble, nor is he afraid of Su Meng.

This is a compromise that had to be made for the safety of the lives and property of millions, or even tens of millions, of people across the country!

This is reality! This fucked-up reality!

……

As time passed, Lü Cheng remained asleep.

As Lü Cheng lost contact for a long time, more and more people came to this house.

Ye Xinxia, ​​Ding Yumin, and Ai Tutu remained almost unchanged, and Asha Ruya did not leave either. Although Mu Nujiao successfully won a vote from the school, the Mu family was unable to secure enough votes for her. Lu Cheng originally intended to give her his votes, but since he had been asleep since the ancient capital, he missed the voting stage. Therefore, Mu Nujiao was relegated to being the guardian of the national team.

After the ancient capital, Leng Qing and Tang Yue, who were in a tense period due to the Black Vatican, also came. Mu Ningxue arrived just two days ago, and Lingling also skipped class to come over.

“He…” Su Meng’s expression was somewhat unnatural.
