"Do you see it? It's almost like winter is coming, right? "
Russell put down his cup and said, "In some hells, we've discovered a population of these Crows … … They need to live in a place full of negative Origin Substances for a dozen generations before they can mutate.
Even though it looks like an ability to control ice, it's actually the negative Origin Substances in their bodies that are spontaneously interfering with the outside world.
This isn't a skill, but rather a phenomenon — —
These Crows are very close to death, and they're also born with a dense amount of negative Origin Substances, so they're often viewed as ominous.
But for a Young Arbiter of Life like you, they're the perfect subordinate race. What's even more surprising is that they like you so much. It looks like you have a very high reputation among them. "
As he spoke, Russell began to clap and sighed with relief, "Congratulations, Huai Shi, you've drawn a very good card!"
Hearing Russell say this, Huai Shi finally let out a sigh of relief.
He could finally relax.
Even if he felt that reliability was the most important thing and didn't care too much about individual quality, the Young Arbiter of Life only had one chance to be a subordinate, so the higher the compatibility, the better.
After his joy finally died down, Russell slowly nodded and took a sip of tea before asking, "Did you feel good?"
"Great," Huai Shi rubbed the giant Crow in his arms and sighed with emotion, "I'm done!"
"That's good."
The old turtle nodded. Immediately afterwards, he revealed an unsettling smile and magically pulled out a long bill from his pocket, "Then let's settle the bill … …"
"What's this?" Huai Shi was dumbfounded.
"Settle the bill." Russell looked at him in confusion, "You're a new teacher. It's one thing to use the Dragon Summoning Flute for nothing, but don't tell me you don't even plan on paying for the fuel? Wow! You're too heartless! "
"You didn't say you wanted me to pay!"
Huai Shi was furious. She pointed at the bill that was about to hit her in the face. "Also, I only used it for a little over an hour. It's fine if you charge me 130 million for the fuel, but what the hell is this additional 40 million?! Old bastard, you tricked me again! "
"Recently, the trade war between the Demonic Gold Bank and the House of American Banks has been very fierce. The price of Origin Form crystals has more than doubled. I'm giving you 1.2 times the original price. I can't be more considerate, okay?"
Russell picked his nose calmly. "Besides, what's wrong with additional fees? Could it be that there was no additional charge for summoning over a thousand hellish hordes at once? Also, a thousand Crows made a mess inside. This is a super-sophisticated facility, okay, Huai Shi? Don't tell me you think you can just clean it up with a mop? "
"One hundred and seventy million. I'm already giving you a discount on account of our teacher-student relationship."
At this point, Russell's heart ached. "Teacher is so considerate of you. Everything is for you. But what about you? But you're calling me an old bastard! "
"… Is … Is that so?" Huai Shi was a little uncertain.
"Of course it's like that!"
Russell's expression became serious. "As the principal of the Ivory Tower and as your teacher, would I be greedy for your one hundred million yuan? To me, one hundred or two hundred million is nothing … … "
"But the Vice-Principal said yesterday that you secretly used public funds to go to the border and gamble … …"
"Bullshit!"
Russell was furious. His expression became even more serious. "How can you question your teacher's moral character? Do I look like the kind of person who misappropriates public funds and has a bad moral character? "
"You do."
Huai Shi glanced at Russell's performance out of the corner of his eye.
They're both old foxes. Who are you playing with?
He definitely wouldn't give him the money.
He didn't believe that Russell could kill him.
"Since you've said it like that, Teacher has no other choice." Russell sighed sincerely. "Teacher will help you pay this one hundred million yuan. Who told me to be your teacher?"
"Really?" Huai Shi was instantly on guard.
"Of course it's true."
Russell nodded sadly. "But when I misappropriate public funds, I will forge your signature. At that time, if the Vice-Principal wants to get rid of the traitors for the Ivory Tower, I can only destroy the righteousness … … "
"Wait!"
Huai Shi widened his eyes in disbelief. "How can you be so shameless!"
"Hey, you're talking as if this is the first day you know."
Russell sat in his boss' chair and looked at Huai Shi's appearance. He asked earnestly, "Teacher has promoted your position, increased your salary, let you use the Dragon Summoning Flute, let you use the Hell Card, let you use it — don't tell me this Crow doesn't smell good!"
"… …"
In the silence, Huai Shi turned back and looked at the huge Crow in his arms.
In front of that pair of small eyes full of expectation, he really couldn't bear to say that it didn't smell good … …
Then, Russell asked in a trembling voice,
"Ask yourself honestly, don't I treat you well?"
"… …"
Huai Shi was still speechless.
Although he often complained in his heart that the old bastard liked to tease him, in all fairness, Russell was really good to this traitor. Not only did he not kill him, but he also took him in as a student, promoted and trained him vigorously.
He even used public funds for private purposes and let him borrow the Dragon Summoning Flute to draw cards.
Although now it seemed that this was a trap that Russell dug for him, he had already received benefits, so he couldn't just turn his back on him and deny it, right?
Huai Shi could only nod and sigh.
"So, you're going to persecute me again, right?"
"I'm also very pleased that you can think so clearly."
Russell's smile became like an old grandpa on a bucket, looking kind and harmless.
He just took out a document from his desk drawer and slowly pushed it in front of him.
His eyes were eager.
He was full of expectations for the future of this young man.
Everything had already been arranged clearly.
.
.
In the end, Huai Shi finally accepted the trouble that Russell threw at him.
Although it looked very troublesome no matter how he looked at it.
But whether it was from the favor of the Dragon Summoning Flute or from Russell's bill, Huai Shi had no reason to refuse.
Moreover, this was not Russell's private matter, but official business of the Ivory Tower. As a teacher of the Ivory Tower, if the teaching and research office was assigned, how could Huai Shi not go?
It was nothing more than a business trip. He could just treat it as a new activity after the long grass period of the game ended.
It was not the first time that he was a tool.
After living a peaceful life for half a year, Huai Shi found that he began to look forward to an adventurous life.
He felt that he was crazy.
But even if he went on a business trip, it would be three days later.
The most important thing now was how to settle down the more than a thousand Crows that he had summoned.
This was really a large group of them.
When they flew in the sky, they were black, and when they landed on the ground, they were also black. Moreover, they liked to go around and snatch people's food. Many students thought that the Ivory Tower was attacked by creatures.
It wasn't until the school's emergency broadcast that they found out that Teacher Huai Shi was bored and wanted to walk the Crows.
Thanks to a certain black-hearted woman who often pretended to be Huai Shi's pet and flew around, it didn't seem too sudden … But the problem was that there were too many of them.
So many that Huai Shi had a headache.
They moved from the abyss with their families because of his recruitment notice. He couldn't keep a few and then send them back.
As for Fang Shu … Fang Shu's ability also had a limit!
He was so old, how could Huai Shi throw a thousand Crows to him to raise? That was simply heartless.
"Don't worry, this matter is easy to solve."
A black-hearted woman with the appearance of a Crow said, "Don't you have to sign the contract first? You might as well sign it all at once. It's only a thousand or so, you can fit them all in a box. "
"So convenient?"
In the basement, Huai Shi looked at the complicated matrix in front of him and couldn't believe it.
At this moment, more than a thousand Crows were densely packed and almost filled the huge basement. Huai Shi had no place to stand at all.
He couldn't even figure out which one was his black-hearted woman.
Until she transformed into a human form and appeared in front of Huai Shi.
Looking at the face that he hadn't seen for a long time, Huai Shi was slightly shocked and inexplicably remembered the unfinished benefits last time.
"Okay, come back to reality."
She raised her hand and waved in front of Huai Shi. Then, without waiting for him to react.
She snapped her fingers.
Above her head, the shadow of a crown flashed before disappearing. Following that, a waterfall of darkness gushed out from Huai Shi's body, swallowing everything in its path.
Involuntarily.
In his hand, a burning banner appeared again, and in his other hand, the outline of the Sword of Virtue condensed.
With the full power of the Young Master's Stigmata, the gloomy and solemn Bone Burying Sanctuary descended into the basement.
The noisy birds in the surroundings fell silent in an instant. Then, they spread their wings and gathered into a surging Crow Tide again, rushing into the darkness of the Bone Burying Sanctuary.
The birds, who loved death, were also attracted by the pure silence.
For them, they couldn't resist the attraction of the Young Master at all. Moreover, they didn't have any vigilance or suspicion towards Huai Shi.
Under the cover of the Abyss Miracle, a flame suddenly rose from the banner in the darkness of the Bone Burying Sanctuary and spread among the crows.
It was the qualitative change of the Origin Substance caused by the Young Master.
In the flames, the Crows from hell were quickly disintegrating, turning into pure mist and merging into the Bone Burying Sanctuary, returning to nothingness.
Soon, another light lit up again, and those fleeting silhouettes emerged from the darkness. They were completely different from the past.
In a short period of time, they had undergone a long transformation and rebirth.
At this moment, they had become the subordinates of the Young Master, the guardians of the Bone Burying Sanctuary, and also the hell tribe directly under Huai Shi.
It could be said that they themselves were already an extension of the Young Master's Stigmata.
They were no longer as large and heavy as before. They returned to the size of ordinary birds. These Crows that seemed to be condensed from mist had completely transformed into Origin Substance creatures, becoming extremely light.
It felt like … … a living ghost!
The negative Origin Substance of thousands of Crows poured into the Niebelungen Ring, causing a huge change that Huai Shi did not expect. The nine vacant ghost positions were instantly filled.
Even the previously formed ghosts were dissolved and reborn.
In the group of Crows, there were nine of them whose forms changed and became more and more solid.
Unlike other Crows that were similar to ghosts, they had truly obtained the Stigmata of ghosts and became members of Huai Shi's army.
The compatibility between the miracle from hell and this group of Crows was ridiculously high. There was no obstruction between them at all.
It was unknown if it was the influence of Huai Shi's soul, but layers of complicated silver-white patterns quickly appeared on the bodies and wings of the nine Crows. They looked like they had a metallic texture.
And in the mouths of the nine Crows, there were ancient and gorgeous candlesticks.
On the candlesticks, a short candle was burning quietly.
It emitted a faint light from the darkness.
Those faint flames looked so unreal, like a dream bubble. No matter how turbulent and violent the hurricane was, it could not be extinguished.
"Candlesticks?"
Huai Shi could not understand what was going on.
But through these nine Candle Crows, he could feel that the entire flock of Crows was under his control. It was as if they were his arms, and their minds were connected. There was no inconvenience at all.
The entire flock of Crows had become an extension of Huai Shi's army.
With their replenishment, Young Arbiter Ming's Stigmata had completed another transformation. It seemed to have become more complete, and Huai Shi felt a sense of joy from the bottom of his heart.
With the power of the Ivory Tower, he had passed the most difficult hurdle so easily and easily.
From now on, as long as Huai Shi nurtured the flock of Crows step by step and made them into a large flock of Abyss, he would be able to obtain an endless stream of Cultivation Essences and help Young Arbiter Ming grow rapidly.
Huai Shi had a thought. He took out the Book of Destiny and slapped it down on the nine Candle Crows in the flock.
Now that they were considered his own army, this move should work. But even Huai Shi did not know what kind of record the Book of Destiny would produce. It could only depend on luck.
Fortunately, after the Book of Destiny was slapped down, the Crows were still Crows. There were no strange changes.
A few of the crows glared at Huai Shi, then suddenly opened their mouths and cried out, "You're right.
"Holy!!!"
As if someone had pressed an incredible switch, the flock of Crows instantly became restless.
All the Crows were restless. They stared at Huai Shi and began to praise fervently:
"Holy! Holy!! Holy!!! "
Huai Shi was so scared that his face turned green.
Where the hell did this bunch of fanatics come from? No, why are they repeating themselves like I bought a bunch of repeaters … That's all they can say! Are you guys possessed by lizardmen?
By the time Huai Shi calmed down the flock of Crows, a few hours had already passed.
His ears were constantly buzzing.
In the middle of the night, if the basement's soundproofing was not good enough, the neighbors would have already come knocking on his door. Huai Shi was not worried about whether he could win or not, but what if the Crows thought he was an enemy and pecked him to death?
He could only be in a panic.
From beginning to end, a certain black-hearted woman was leaning on the side and watching him make a fool of himself.
Until Huai Shi was completely out of ideas, she picked up the birdcage that she had bought for herself in the antique shop and threw it over.
"Catch."
Huai Shi staggered when he caught the gorgeous birdcage.
It looked light, but the actual weight of this thing was not inferior to solid steel.
After opening the door of the birdcage, there was no sight of the birdcage. Instead, there was a burst of multicolored blurry light.
It was like an entrance to a certain place.
Huai Shi did not have time to think too much. He just pointed at the birdcage. Without saying anything, the flock of Crows that blotted out the sky soared into the sky, turned into a gray storm and drilled into the birdcage.
They had all drilled into it!
When the last Crow flew in, the door of the birdcage closed on its own.
A white fog rose from the empty birdcage. When the fog dissipated, a lifelike Crow could be seen jumping around inside.
He could also see a small mountain peak, a forest, and a graveyard below.
Huai Shi held onto the handle of the birdcage. He could sense the changes in the Crow's condition inside.
They did not feel cramped or uncomfortable inside. Instead, they quickly adapted to this new place and began to happily sing a new round of hymns in unison … …
"What is this?"
Huai Shi held onto the birdcage, turning it over and over as he looked at it, feeling incredibly curious.
In the past, he had never noticed that he had such a strange thing in his house.
"The Cage of Dreams."
The black-hearted woman, who had seen enough of the commotion, said, "It's something made from the leftovers of Rotten Dreams. You can use it as a super-sized Pokeball. It should be able to hold these weightless Origin Substances … … It'll make it easier for you to get a good night's sleep in the future."
It was as if she could hear those Crows singing hymns all the time. Her smile became even stranger.
"I didn't know that you liked Crows that much."
She suddenly leaned in closer and looked closely at Huai Shi's face. She smiled slightly. "Do you have some unspeakable thoughts about me? Is that why you want to find a few Crows to rub and hug?"
"I don't, I don't! Don't talk nonsense!"
Huai Shi jumped in fright. His eyes widened. "How can you accuse me of something I'm innocent of!"
"Oh? Is that so? "
Her slender eyebrows jumped slightly as she sighed regretfully. "Then I must have misunderstood … … Seeing how hesitant you looked, I thought that you wanted to continue the benefits from last time. How regretful."
"What the hell are you regretting!"
Huai Shi was angry. "If I really want your benefits, I might as well hold a chisel and take a few bites!"
Therefore, the woman's smile became more and more cheerful.
This made Huai Shi unhappy.
He wanted to beat her.
But after staring at her for a long time, he couldn't do it.
He could only shake his head and sigh helplessly.
Huai Shi raised the cage in his hand and asked, "Haven't you found the problem?"
"Holy?"
"Not this."
Huai Shi scratched his head and became a little irritated. "Haven't you found … … that the character settings are overlapping? No, what I mean is, now that so many Crows have suddenly appeared, I won't know how to distinguish them in the future. No, what I mean is, after knowing each other for so long, I can't still call you 'hey hey hey', right? "
"That makes sense."
The woman nodded thoughtfully. Then she suggested, "Why don't you call me 'Crow Number One', and then number two, three, four from below? Isn't that good?"
"Not good at all."
Huai Shi didn't get angry. He didn't even glare. He just stared at the woman in front of him seriously. "I'm not asking you how to distinguish so many Crows in the future. I'm asking for your name."
Huai Shi looked at her. Finally, he plucked up his courage and asked seriously,
"— Tell me your name."
"… …"
In the silence, the woman in front of Huai Shi seemed to be stunned. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the young man in front of her as if she had met Huai Shi for the first time.
She couldn't help but chuckle softly.
But she didn't speak.
After a long wait, Huai Shi finally retreated. He sighed, waved his hand, and turned to leave. But before he left, he heard a soft voice like an illusion coming from behind him.
"Tongi."
"Hmm?"
He turned around in shock and froze on the spot.
Because she was standing behind Huai Shi, so close that he could almost feel her breath on his face.
Huai Shi subconsciously took a step back.
But she moved forward again, pressing forward step by step. She reached out and almost pushed Huai Shi against the wall.
When she lowered her head to look at his lifeless face, she revealed a mischievous smile.
In the silence, Huai Shi could only hear his chaotic heartbeat.
He couldn't help holding his breath.
"You …"
He asked dryly, "What are you talking about?"
"Hmm? Didn't you just ask a question? I'm answering you. "
The woman was still smiling. She raised her hand and tucked her long hair behind her ear. Then, that magnificent and beautiful face moved closer inch by inch. She whispered in his ear, "Don't forget, Huai Shi …"
She said, "My name is Tongi."
This was her self-introduction.
After a year, she came late.
Huai Shi. He didn't sleep all night.
