The Dean Has Arrived

Due to the large number of witnesses, Xi Wei's disappearance quickly caused a stir, and there were faint signs of spreading outward. The disappearance of the prestigious building of the Trial Gate also proved this in disguise. ◎,

To be honest, the current situation is not good.

The ability of Edric College to maintain its transcendent status in the Eastern Plains is entirely due to Siwena's strength, which far exceeds that of ordinary magicians.

If Xi Wei is really gone, then just the construction drawings of a powerful weapon like the Magic Destroyer will be enough for all forces to covet, not to mention that Edric has a lot of magic technology that is no less than that of the Magic Destroyer. Research results, let alone those third-rate small forces, even the three major forces in the Eastern Plains will probably be jealous of this, right?

"I don't know what's going on with the King's Council, but the Mage Association and the Pure White Church probably won't make such an unwise move."

After listening to Evelyn's worries, Sophia pondered for a moment and then said: "After all, they still have some friendship with our Edric..."

Evelyn shook her head: "No, in fact they only have a relationship with 'Sylvie Adric'. Once something goes wrong with Xi Wei, such as dying with a powerful monster, I think they will definitely be happy to take over Adric." Let’s go to college.”

Regardless of other things, the existing magic items in Edric Academy alone are enough to raise the combat effectiveness of the three major forces to a higher level.

With such huge benefits, it’s no wonder they are tempted.

Although Xi Wei is often absent from the college, everyone in the college has full confidence in him and believes that Xi Wei will not encounter any danger. But this time is different. He can almost be regarded as having an affair with the unknown person in full view of the public. The monster fought to the death and his whereabouts are still unknown.

There would never be a traitor among Edric's students, this was something Xi Wei had told Sophia with certainty. Therefore, Sofia, who believed 100% in Xi Wei, also had the confidence that all students would not betray the academy.

But Edric's student is still young after all, and there is a possibility that someone may accidentally get information out of the academy, or he may do bad things with good intentions and be taken advantage of. Therefore, Sophia will not be naive enough to think that she can block the news of Xi Wei's disappearance. .

Then how to deal with the prying eyes from outside the academy is the top priority.

It is precisely because of this. Only then would Sofia find Evelyn, who had the most political vision in Edric College. As the former eldest princess of the Horlian Empire, only Evelyn could make enough judgment on the current situation.

"There are three current countermeasures. The first is to simply find someone with weak power and give in. Let it serve as a shield for our college. Although it is not a complete solution, at least there will be a buffer time to wait for Xi Wei's return; the second is to think We can find a way to fight a war and show Edric's force to the outside world, as long as we show a sufficient degree of deterrence. I believe those forces will do what they can; the third is to retreat, because what Xi Wei left behind, we have two things that can The places to retreat are the subspace above Morag and the branch campus on Scarlet Moon."

Evelyn was worthy of being the heir to the empire who had been specially trained by Queen Huolian. She came up with several countermeasures in just a few minutes.

"Of course all three have shortcomings. The first method can easily lead to the leakage of the academy's technology. Adric has a lot of dangerous magical technologies. To be honest, there are some things that I even hope will never leak out to Edric in my lifetime; the second method The method requires precise control of the degree of display of force. If it is too weak, it will have no deterrent effect, and if it is too strong, it will easily be self-defeating. Instead, it will cause those big countries to want to destroy Edric at any cost; the last method will make Edric temporarily lose control of the outside world. The intelligence gathering ability even creates a situation that we won’t be able to know about even if Xi Wei returns.”

After stating the pros and cons, Evelyn picked up the coffee in front of her and took a sip without continuing.

Her intention was obvious, that is, to leave the final decision to Acting Dean Sophia.

Time passed by minute by minute in silence.

After an unknown amount of time, the cup in Evelyn's hand also cooled down from its steaming state, and Sophia finally showed a determined expression.

"Miss Fit, can you please invite professors with A-level or above authority to come to the dean's office?" She said to the ghost girl on her side: "I have something I want to discuss with them."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The ghost girl bowed slightly and saluted before disappearing into the dean's office.

"I hope my decision is not wrong..."

The dean at this moment

"Well……"

A depressed moan escaped from his lips, and then Xi Wei opened his eyes in a daze.

He is currently in a small compartment. The car was bumping and it seemed like it was driving on a road with bad conditions.

"Well……"

The dizziness invaded Xi Wei's brain again, causing him to let out a somewhat uncomfortable breath.

Then, the memory of what happened before he fainted suddenly came back to him.

The destructive power of the space explosion did not exceed Xi Wei's expectations. But the large amount of void energy that followed caught him off guard. Even if he was good at using void energy, it was not a good thing after all. This is how a good swimmer would feel when he drowned in water, not to mention that void energy can be more dangerous than water. too much.

"You're awake!" At this time, a surprised voice came from the back of the car.

Xi Wei propped up his body. Squinting your eyes, trying to see the other person clearly while adapting to the sudden bright light.

First of all, it was a pity that the other party was not a girl, but a very fierce-looking bald man. His shiny bald head also had very tough-looking tattoos.

If I had to describe it, it would probably be the kind of appearance that you don’t even need to put on makeup to play a gang boss...

Linguistics level 6 was not activated, and the other party spoke the Humen language.

This made Xi Wei feel relieved. It seemed that he had not fallen into any weird place.

The other party's appearance, which looked like a serial murderer, had no impact on Xi Wei. Compared to Franken, the skeleton mage in human skin, there was really nothing about the other party's current appearance that should surprise Xi Wei.

So he immediately started to talk to the other party out of habit.

The bald brother didn't have much scheming, and Xi Wei got a lot of information out of him in just a few words.

He is the guard of a famous alchemist named Matthew. The alchemist went to Lovinia at the invitation of the city lord. It seemed that he wanted to repair something for the city lord there. Matthew naturally followed the alchemist to Lovinia. Vinia.

Then they found the unconscious Xi Wei halfway. They saw Xi Wei wearing an alchemist's robe (actually a mage's robe), so they saved him.

The conversation with Bald Matthew made Xi Wei more certain that he was not lost in the void.

Lovinia is a plain city to the east of the Eastern Plains. It is not too far from the Horlian Empire. Although it is a certain distance from Morag, it is not too difficult to get there. How does that city compare? If it's famous, it's probably that the city lord's chief of guard is a witch with Phoenix bloodline.

Although Xi Wei had a certain interest in the witch, he didn't intend to waste time on this kind of thing.

"Are you leaving?" Bald Matthew asked immediately after Xi Wei showed his intention to leave.

"Yes, thank you for your help. If you have any trouble in the future, you can go to Morag's Edric Academy to find me."

Xi Wei replied with a smile.

Although with the legendary aura, Xi Wei might be fine even if he slept in the beast's nest, but no matter how he said that the other party had helped him, Xi Wei naturally couldn't turn around and pretend that nothing had happened. Just the same, just pat your butt and leave.

It is also worth mentioning that he found that he could no longer sense the magic beacon left behind, which also resulted in him being unable to teleport back to Edric through gap magic.

Although he wanted to use the Return Crystal, for some reason a 'not for use' mark appeared on the Return Crystal. Because of this, Xi Wei could only use the most common method to return to Edric College.

"Edric? Do you want to enroll in school?"

Bald Matthew showed a hint of surprise. He stared at Xi Wei with his big copper eyes and said with some embarrassment: "Let me inform you for the time being. Although Edric Knight Academy is indeed quite famous, its admission time has long been It’s already passed…”

"No, I don't plan to enroll...wait, what is the full name of Edric College?"

Xi Wei was stunned.

"Edric Knight Academy, is there something wrong?" Bald Matthew didn't understand.

Xi Wei showed an expression of disbelief: "Knight Academy?!"

What's happening here? (To be continued.)
