Chapter 50 The Heirs
"I wonder who will become the new generation of Lei Zhe."
Fatty Xin sat at the desk, scratching his head over the manuscript for the school newspaper, and lamenting that he only came a year late. Because according to the regulations of First University, only sophomores and above are eligible to become Lei Zhe.
"Even if I came two years earlier, Lei Zhe wouldn't have a single penny relationship with you." Xiao Xiao hugged his notebook and was busy working on it, complaining: "If the elder said this, I still think it's possible. ”
The elder is Zhang Jixin, who comes from the famous Zhang family of wizards. The younger generation is often the leader of school societies. For example, Zhang Jixin's brother Zhang Shuzhi is now the deputy captain of the Divine Will, the deputy captain of the hunting team of the First University, and one of the 'Three Heroes of Will' privately ranked by the students.
Zheng Qing also knew the other two "Three Heroes" with him.
One is the hunter of the Judgment Hunting Team, Erwin Hoffman, the winner of the title of best hunter in the last school hunting club; the other is Zhao Qiao, the captain of the Jiuyou Academy Hunting Team, Zheng Qing once Saw him at a meeting of the school hunting committee.
These three are the students most likely to take over the title of 'Lei Zhe'.
In the current odds offered by betting agencies, the odds of these three people are about the same. In the questionnaire distributed by the school newspaper, the support rates of the three people are also about the same, and it is difficult to distinguish them.
Because of Zhang Jixin, the students in Class 08-1 of You Zui and Astronomy are very supportive of Zhang Shuzhi taking over as ‘Lei Zhe’. For this reason, Zhang Jixin has been busy lately, helping his brother canvass votes.
"Lei Zhe can't say, but I'm pretty sure who the next Augustus will be." A cold and faint voice suddenly sounded in Zheng Qing's ears, startling him as he was smearing glue on the walls of the elf paper house. The sticky hand applied a lot of force and applied a large amount.
"Damn, that's scary!"
The young public-sponsored student turned around and saw classmate Dylan whose head had just emerged from the coffin. He complained: "Just come out of the coffin, please don't be so scary... I have a heart disease."
"You don't have a heart disease, you just have a heart." Dylan glanced at him and snorted: "Besides, does my coffin scare you?"
Zheng Qing shook his head blankly.
"That's right." Dylan nodded, as if he had forgotten the conversation he had made before, and chatted with Zheng Qing in a serious manner: "The world is like a big coffin...the earth is the bottom, and the sky is the lid. A big coffin with endless lives and history. Everyone lives in a coffin... I just made a small room for myself. This is called 'coffin within a coffin', which is an ancient magic ritual."
Dylan's expression was serious when he said this, and Zheng Qing almost believed it.
Of course, the more important reason for his belief was that Dylan's analogy just now was very reasonable and impressed Zheng Qing - only at this time would he vaguely believe that the vampire werewolf in front of him was an immortal species.
"Although what you said makes sense, I must emphasize that I am not a coffin." The young public-funded student replied, rolling his eyes.
Dylan was stunned for a moment and then laughed too.
Zheng Qing's code name in the Major Arcana is "World", which is unexpectedly interesting.
"Don't change the subject!" Fatty Xin shouted from the side while holding up a quill, interrupting the nonsense between Zheng Qing and Dylan, and raised his voice slightly: "Dylan... who do you think the next Augustus is? Confirmation? Where did the news come from? "
Dirennu worked hard to get his entire head out of the coffin, and then let out a long breath.
"Still need news?" He rolled his eyes with a very disdainful expression: "Even the ascetic monks in Atlas who don't care about worldly affairs probably know who the next Augustus will be... It must be Mike King. ·Seprano.”
"Other than Sir Friedman, the only one who can succeed Augustus at the Alpha Academy is Soprano. No one has any objection to this."
Zheng Qing nodded.
Jiuyou Academy has the ‘Three Heroes of Will’, and Alpha Academy also has the ‘Blood Friend Gemini’. Similar to the Three Heroes of Will, the twin stars of Alpha Academy also represent two opposing forces in the Blood Club.
Sir Friedman represents tradition, conservatism and the interests of the aristocratic family. In his lounge, you can see furnishings that were popular two hundred years ago. In Soprano's words, 'That room exudes a sense of atmosphere from inside to outside. A smell of decay and decay'.
Soprano represents the more radical, blood supremacists.
Unlike the traditional faction, which is accustomed to compromise, because the number of registered wizards and credits in Jiuyou Academy has gradually surpassed that of Alpha in recent years, the radical faction represented by Serprano hopes to restore the glory of Alpha through more thorough changes - just like Alpha back then. The glory of releasing the first forbidden spell.
"...Originally, the gap between Sir Friedman and Soprano was not that big, or in other words, there were quite a few students who supported Sir Friedman. But in the past, Sir Arthur Ness had embarrassed Sir, and later Sir His performance in school hunting parties, winter hunting and other activities was mediocre, and in addition to the riots caused by the centaurs outside Fort Alpha some time ago, Jazz handled it somewhat poorly, which greatly hurt his popularity. "
"On the other hand, Serprano has done very well in both the smuggling trade with the fishman tribe and the new hunting team he supports. Especially not long ago, he was seriously injured by a shot from Brother Qing..."
"Is this also an advantage?" After hearing this, Zheng Qing finally couldn't help but argue: "Isn't it embarrassing enough that he was seriously injured by a first-year student's gunshot? Don't the people in Alpha hate him?"
"So 'comedy has a tragic core'," Dylan let out a long breath, obviously confused about the public's taste: "Because of that shot, Soprano became the 'tragic hero' of Alpha Academy. , the approval ratings soared... It's humorous, right? It's the biggest comedy in the world."
Zheng Qing opened his mouth and said he had nothing to say.
He never thought that he would inadvertently help Soprano. Although he had a bad relationship with both candidates, he would rather the new 'Augustus' be the knight of the Cullen family.
At the very least, Sir Friedman seems to be keeping his rules.
"In other words, the above conclusion is just your speculation?" Fatty Xin asked reluctantly: "Didn't you have a high-level good friend in the Blood Club who told you Augustus's opinion?"
"Do you still need Augustus's opinion?" Dylan was a little confused and a little unhappy: "This is already obvious... My social circle is very narrow. I don't have any friends from the top of the Blood Club. They I won’t find a mixed-race friend.”
"It's obvious, but it's hard to write it directly into news reports if you speculate." Xiao Xiao obviously knew where Fatty Xin's pain points were. He twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed: "At this time, an 'insider' can It seems very important... Even an 'insider' who gives vague conclusions is much better than a fabricated one."
