Magic High School.

"Godfather!" Li Ge's voice called out to his father again from afar. He immediately froze on the spot, and then Xiao Ye, who had been called out, came out and stabbed him.

Not only this person, but everyone who tried to stop Ying Xiao was stunned when Li Ge pointed his finger and shouted "Godfather," and then was killed by Xiao Ye.

They seemed to have achieved the perfect coordination at this moment, with Li Ge controlling the game and Xiao Ye taking the lead.

Since Li Ge had already recognized so many godfathers, he might as well go all the way. He stretched out his hand, took a deep breath, and then pointed at each of them one by one with his fingers like the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger.

"Godfather, godfather, godfather, godfather, godfather! Godfather~! wryyyyy!"

Clown mask, we are one!

Endless Godfather, come out!

Everyone pointed at by Li Ge was momentarily stunned, and then Xiao Ye killed them one by one like pigs being slaughtered.

Li Ge kept singing, unleashing his full power. His Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger left anyone stunned, and his adoptive father's voice resounded throughout the entire Sichuan region.

"General Lü, please spare me! Don't acknowledge me as your godfather!"

"Lord Wen is here looking for a scapegoat! Run! Don't let Lord Wen recognize a godfather!"

"Lord Lü Wen, spare me! I'll acknowledge you as my godfather!"

"Lord Wen, I have an eighty-year-old mother to care for and a crying infant to feed..."

In an instant, the entire camp was thrown into complete chaos. There were still some insightful people who tried to stop the riot, but they were the most conspicuous people in the army. Li Ge pointed them out in an instant and then called them godfather, and they fell to the ground on the spot.

Countless people dropped their weapons and desperately kowtowed, begging the "ghost of Wenhou who was looking for a scapegoat" they imagined to be spared. Li Ge naturally ignored these people who knelt down and kowtowed for the time being. As a result, the others also discovered that as long as they dropped their weapons, the "ghost of Wenhou" would not acknowledge them as his godfather. They immediately dropped their weapons and knelt down to beg for surrender.

Who wouldn't be afraid of such supernatural and ghostly matters?

The sounds of the wind, the birds, and my adoptive father's voice—all these sounds entered my ears. Family affairs, national affairs, and the affairs of Lord Wen—all these filled me with dread.

Seeing the entire military camp in chaos, with countless people trying to flee like dogs with their tails between their legs, and that direction was directly towards Yi Lian and Valerie, how could Li Ge let them have their way? He pointed the Great Wilderness Imprisoning Heaven Finger at the group of people trying to escape in the distance and shouted again...

"Godfather!"

The group was stunned for a moment and stopped in their tracks. Then, because so many people were stunned by the sudden stop, a stampede occurred, turning the entire military camp into chaos. The number of people who died from the stampede was countless, far more than the number of people killed by Li Ge and his men!

Meanwhile, Yi Lian and Valerie blocked the escape route, and Li Ge's high-speed divine words calling for his godfather, such an absurd and unprecedented event, terrified countless people.

Yilian and Valerie only killed some of those who still thought of resisting, who were probably Sima family's personal guards. The rest of them all knelt down and shouted "Lord Wen, spare our lives!" without any will to fight.

Li Ge: "..."

Sigh, he didn't really want to use such a shameless method, but he had no choice. He was originally ashamed to call everyone "godfather," but after saying it the first time, he felt it was nothing special, and then he got used to calling everyone "godfather."

They were originally prepared for a tough battle, but unexpectedly, amidst cries of "Call me Father!", they easily wiped out an elite force of the Sima family.

It wasn't a total annihilation; they only killed the clearly armored guards. The others immediately knelt down and surrendered, bowing their heads and muttering incomprehensible things like "Please, Lord Wen, spare us."

Li Ge: "..."

He realized that these people regarded him as the ghost of Lü Bu, and had come to claim his adoptive father's life.

Forget it, Lu Bu it is. At least I can put on a disguise.

However, in historical records, Lü Bu's integrity and moral character are likely to be further diminished.

Li Ge immediately ignored the group of guys who were already scared out of their wits. He was also a little numb. Now everyone looked like his godfather, and he couldn't help but want to call them "godfather." But he held back and walked towards the place where Deng Ai was being held.

He soon met up with Valerie, and Yilian sealed off everyone to prevent them from escaping.

Li Ge also found the place where Deng Ai was being held. At this time, Deng Ai was covered with congealed blood scabs and his lips were cracked.

They removed Deng Ai's shackles, and when he saw Li Ge, Deng Ai seemed to show an expression of three parts shock, three parts gratitude, and three parts doubt. He then bowed slightly and said, "Lord Wen, Shi Zai thanks you for saving me today."

Li Ge: "..."

Dude, why do you think I'm Lu Bu too? Seriously, was Lu Bu's reputation really that bad in this era?

(PS: Happy New Year! I would be very grateful if you could read tomorrow's chapter.)

Chapter 74 Farewell (Happy New Year, my friends!)

Li Ge wasn't really clear about the history of this period, since in his previous life, he basically saw that after Wuzhang Plains, it marked the official end of the Three Kingdoms period.

Jiang Wei's statement, "My plan failed, it is fate," merely offered this great man the most dignified way to die.

He was unaware that at this point in time, the well-known figures from the late Han Dynasty and early Han period already possessed a large number of widely circulated stories, and had even become ghosts and gods in the traditional sense.

Not to mention the famous figures from the late Han Dynasty and early Han Dynasty, even the story of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang from decades ago has become a mythical tale throughout Luoyang and even the entire land of China.

To put it bluntly, the Sima family was the first to mythologize Prime Minister Zhuge Liang and to admire and worship him, which is quite ironic.

Of course, Li Ge was unaware of these minor details, but looking at Deng Ai at this moment, Li Ge still sighed deeply.

Deng Ai was also puzzled by Li Ge and his group, after all, their clothing styles were really too strange, even bizarre. Whether it was Li Ge, who was still wearing a trench coat, or Valerie, who looked like a metal can, these styles of clothing were a real test of Han and Wei etiquette for him.

However, he could only assume that these were the costumes of ghosts and spirits.

Valerie, the silly girl beside him, wanted to speak, but Li Ge immediately stopped her.

Li Ge doesn't know about the others, but the language that appears in the translation module must be the simplest and most understandable plain language. This is the most convenient system in any world, but in this era, it is completely different.

Li Ge coughed lightly, even half-turning off the translation module, and said in his original words: "General, I am not the ghost of Marquis Wen. My name is Cao Ge, courtesy name Ziyin. I am a wandering knight under Liu Kang, the Duke of Shanyang. My ancestors were a branch of the Cao family of Qiao County. After the Gaopingling Incident, I fled to Shanyang and was protected by the Duke of Shanyang."

At this moment, Li Ge seemed to have switched the translation module to a mode that only changed accents without translating. As soon as he spoke, Valerie, who was standing next to him, was instantly stunned.

She hadn't expected that Li Ge would completely learn the way of speaking in this world in such a short time, not through the translation module, but through genuine, palatable language. This made her think Li Ge was really amazing.

Li Ge: "..."

He actually wore a fake identity. In this era, one's identity is self-given. Although Li Ge was swindling and deceiving, it didn't matter. He could simply become Liu Kang's godfather, thus solidifying his identity. With Liu Kang as a witness that he was a member of the Cao clan, Sima Yan would have to accept it reluctantly.

Liu Kang, grandson of Liu Xie, is the current Duke of Shanyang. His paternal grandmother was Cao Jie, so he has a close kinship with the Cao family and can be considered half a member of the Cao family. In this era, it would be quite normal for him to protect the collateral branches of the Cao family.

"As for what happened before, it was all just a charade and doesn't count as real." Li Ge said this in a very soft voice.

Deng Ai showed a moment of vigilance and suspicion, followed by silence and a sense of relief.

At first, he certainly didn't quite believe Li Ge's fake identity, but when he thought about his current situation, he could only accept it.

I am a prisoner, a skeleton in a tomb, why would anyone need to deceive me?

Moreover, although he was dressed in strange clothes, his demeanor, speech, skin and teeth, and especially his refined features, clearly indicated that he was a scholar from a prominent family. Why would he need to deceive me?

Li Ge's discovery was somewhat accidental, because in this era, the first thing people looked at to determine whether someone belonged to a prominent family was their face and teeth, as there was a significant difference in appearance between members of prominent families and commoners.

People like them, living in magic high schools, would be hard to believe in this era if they said they weren't from powerful families. In fact, they would be from extremely powerful families, as only such refined individuals could be cultivated.

Furthermore, considering that Li Ge and the others looked so handsome that even in this era they could be described as "gentlemen as jade," Deng Ai believed it to some extent.

Therefore, in this era, when many people open their mouths and say that they come from a certain aristocratic family, others are generally very likely to believe them. Just by looking at their face and teeth, and by listening to their speech, people can basically determine where they are from and what social class they belong to. If an ordinary person opens their mouth with a mouth full of worn teeth, they will be directly rejected.

Li Ge didn't give himself a high status. His ancestors were from a collateral branch of the Cao family, and he was now a wandering knight in Shanyang Kingdom. He was a fallen noble family, so his speech wasn't that important. In addition, the fact that he and his group of four had defeated hundreds of elite soldiers of the Sima family was enough to prove a lot.

"Young Master Cao, what is your intention in saving me, a man on the verge of death?" Deng Ai bowed deeply once again, whether to the person who saved his life or to Li Ge's current disguise.

“General, everyone knows Sima Zhao’s intentions. I cannot bear to see you ruined by the crime of treason and leave a bad name for ten thousand years! You may have failed the world, but you have only failed the Sima family. It is truly unbearable and infuriating to die tragically at the hands of the Sima family for the crime of treason. That is why I came up with this plan…” Li Ge said.

Deng Ai's expression was extremely complicated, but he still let out a deep sigh.

Valerie, standing to the side, was instantly stunned; her entire body seemed to be on the verge of exploding with shock.

What? What is this talking about? Did I skip some part of the plot?

Deng Ai understood, and he sighed and said, "I have recorded the deeds of the Cao family and the Duke of Shanyang, but my life has come to an end. If I do not die, the entire Deng family will have no way to survive."

Deng Ai actually felt a strange sense of relief when he saw that if the collateral branch of Cao Wei really had such a prodigy, even though he was a disciple of the Sima clan, he still outwardly remained loyal to Cao Wei. He also understood that this prodigy wanted to recruit him and fight against the Sima clan together.

But he knew even more clearly that this young man could neither save him nor change the course of history.

He was merely a prisoner trapped by his family and reputation. His death was an explanation to Sima Zhao, and also an explanation to history. If he did not die, the Deng family would perish.

If I die here, the descendants of the Deng family will survive, and I will also be able to clear my name of the crime of treason.

He then silently searched his body and handed a bloodstained bronze talisman to Li Ge.

Deng Ai suddenly stood up, straightened his clothes, and despite his many wounds, he still looked in the direction of Luoyang: "I have fought all my life and made great contributions to the conquest of Shu, but I have ended up like this. Now I think that on the eve of the fall of Chengdu, I should have claimed to be ill and retired, and handed over this great achievement to Sima, then I could have rested in peace."

"It's a pity that I only realized it now; it's too late to regret it." He sighed deeply, turned his head, looked at Li Ge, and his eyes were frighteningly calm.

Chapter 75 The Heavens Are Dead (Happy New Year! Please continue reading, brothers. Thank you so much!)

“Young Master Cao, you may leave. I will not reveal your whereabouts. And do not treat your soldiers like I have. This bronze talisman is my token. The Deng family will help you if they can.”

"Also, Wang Mai, the Commandant of the North Gate of Luoyang, is one of my former subordinates. If you can see him, tell him..."

He paused, then spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Deng Shizai did not plot a rebellion; he was killed by the brat Zhong Hui."

Li Ge was taken aback: "This... will it work?"

Deng Ai then gave a bitter laugh: "It's no use, but perhaps... he will remember that I once saved the lives of his entire family."

"Young Master Cao, take care. This is Shi Zai's last strength and gratitude. As for Deng Shi Zai, he will die here today. Wait for the Sima family's blade to come and kill me personally." Deng Ai smiled, looking towards Luoyang, his hands behind his back, letting the cold wind of early spring ravage his wounds.

Li Ge fell silent. Perhaps he had foreseen this moment before he saved Deng Ai.

Even if they recruited under a false name, it was just doing their best and leaving the rest to fate, and that's exactly what happened.

Deng Ai was a protégé of the Sima clan, and he could not possibly betray them. Moreover, by this time, he had already resolved to die.

All he could leave behind as a final expression of gratitude was a promise from the Deng family and intelligence from Wang Mai, the military officer of the North Gate of Luoyang.

Li Ge could only cup his hands in farewell and say, "Take care!"

Deng Ai stood with his back to them in the wilderness, like a stone statue.

This parting will be the last time we see each other.

……

Valerie, who had watched the whole thing from beginning to end, was in a state of bewilderment and relief.

After Li Ge left, he immediately noticed that the hundreds of foot soldiers were now looking at Yi Lian as if she were a god.

Li Ge gasped, then went over to Xiao Ye, who was hiding in the shadow cloak, and asked, "What happened?"

Although Xiaoye was also curious as to why General Deng hadn't come out, she first explained: "After Yilian temporarily transformed herself into a water person, she said a few words about religious beliefs and other charlatan-like things, and these soldiers immediately bowed down and shouted things like 'Yellow Heaven and Earth' that they couldn't understand."

Li Ge: "..."
