Meet the principal

The afternoon inspection ended in a hurry, and Reiner and others returned to their rooms after enjoying dinner.

For a wizard like Edgar, this magical expedition is more about relaxing for a while between intense research and work, taking three students on a trip. Now that Baptiste has shown his research results, There is nothing critical so far, so Edgar will naturally not cause too much trouble. During dinner, he proposed to Agnes that he would observe the ecology of wild creatures in this research institute the next day. The implication was He already knew a lot about Baptiste's research review work.

Agnes naturally nodded in agreement. She was on the same level as Edgar and was only the leader of this magic expedition team. Therefore, she had no right to ask Edgar to do anything.

At night, after the storm subsided, the demiplane of Erasmus was extremely quiet. According to reports, insects had not yet hatched from their buried eggs. Except for some birds that hunt at night, other birds would not. Soaring in the dark night, the surroundings seemed quiet, except for the occasional subtle ripples caused by certain creatures moving through the water.

On the fourth floor of the research institute's breeding area, the corridor, which was very dark during the day, looked even more eerie now.

There was supposed to be no one here, but a figure suddenly appeared.

Reiner walked normally in this corridor without making any sound. This was obviously the effect of the mute magic. The low-level version of this magic can silence the sound within five meters and up to a certain limit, although it cannot cover it up. It is more than enough to hide the sound of people talking, but it is more than enough to hide the sounds of walking and moving.

He came to the door of the room where Sea Wolf Lal was locked and found that it was locked.

But this didn't bother Reiner. He cast a little magic, unlocked the door with the hand of the mage, and walked into the room.

The sea wolf is a nocturnal animal, and Lal had not yet fallen asleep. When it saw Reiner coming in, it wanted to howl twice, but Reiner made a hissing gesture, which made Lal hesitate.

This series of actions were all seen by Reiner. When he marveled that this wolf could show such complex emotions, he began to make some more guesses.

He walked to the cage. Lal was very docile, squatting obediently next to his nest, staring at Reiner with his two green eyes.

Reiner picked up the alphabet board placed aside and inserted it into the gap under the cage so that he could communicate with Lal.

"You are very smart."

Reiner said softly, while using a little light to observe the expression of the sea wolf Lal, the wolf was also observing him.

"I want to ask you a few questions. How did Baptiste train you?"

Hearing Reiner's words, Lal did not answer immediately like he did during the day. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before stamping a sentence on the alphabet board with his paw.

"I'm born like this, so I don't need training."

The sentence is somewhat choppy, and it is clear that Lal has never spelled such a sentence, which is the improvised language in which it is organized.

It has extremely high intelligence!

Able to think, read and write, and answer unknown questions, this sea wolf has gone beyond the scope of ordinary animals, and is definitely not a level that can be achieved by simple beast training.

"Who are your parents?"

Reiner thought for a while,

asked again.

"Jack, Rose."

Sea Wolf Lar responded quickly this time.

"Are you happy here?"

Reiner didn't say anything, nodded slightly, and then asked.

He didn't know if Lal could understand what happy meant, but it seemed that the other party knew the word, because Lal quickly stepped on his paw and pressed out a sentence.

"happy."

"Really? Then I have nothing to ask."

Reiner said, took out the letter board, put it away, then left the room lightly and locked the door again.

All these actions were watched by something in the dark, but Reiner seemed not to notice.

...

The next day, the arrangements for the magic expedition team became more leisurely.

Edgar ran to the observation station of the institute early, which is the tall tower located in the middle of the building, preparing to observe the nearby birds. His three students have not yet gotten up. It seems that last night He looked like he had drunk a lot of wine.

Agnes was nowhere to be found, perhaps going to the laboratory to observe specimens. Her student Darcy was drinking coffee in the dining room with a sleepy look on his face. A heavy book about ancient biological investigations was spread out on the table.

Reiner stretched. As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, he saw a group of children walking noisily through the hall, followed by Windsor in a hurry.

"Ah, good morning, Mr. Iain Gray!"

Windsor showed a sunny smile and greeted Reiner.

"Come and say hello to Mr. Iain Gray."

She said to the children again.

"Yi~en~G~lei~sir~morning~good~"

The children said in unison with sweet voices. I have to say that this scene is still very pleasant.

"Where are you going?"

Reiner asked.

"Ah, I'm about to take the children to class. Mr. Iain Gray, if you have time, can you tell them about magic?"

Windsor clapped his hands, suddenly thinking.

"Well, that's okay."

Reiner's plan today was to walk around the research institute. He originally planned to get in touch with these sick children, but now that he met them, it would be just right.

Side by side with Miss Windsor, he followed the children. They arrived at a spacious conference room in the research area, where children seemed to be taught.

After all the children were seated and quiet, Miss Windsor pushed Reiner to the podium.

"This is Mr. Rainer Ingle, he is a very powerful mage. Today's course will be taught by him, so be good~"

Miss Windsor's voice was very gentle, which made Reiner feel a little embarrassed.

He looked at the children, who had their eyes wide open and their hands on the table, and cleared his throat.

"What is magic in everyone's minds?"

Reiner asked, gesturing for everyone to answer enthusiastically. He named a boy who raised his hand first. If I remember correctly, his name should be Brayton. He seemed to be the eldest among the children.

"Magic is a miracle, being able to do things that you can't normally do!"

he said proudly.

A miracle?

Reiner nodded slightly and motioned for him to sit down.

He found another little girl. This was the girl who was hiding behind Windsor when they met for the first time. She was very shy. She stood up slowly and thought for a while before answering.

"I think magic is... hope, the hope of making the world a better place."
