The Dean Has Arrived

As usual, Xi Wei's falcon landed at the foot of the Huolian Academy of Magic—the scene of the Eye of Sauron's power is still vivid in his memory. Who can guarantee that this thing will not attack him? In short, Xi Wei didn't want to touch its mold.

Soon, Xi Wei had already appeared on the main stairs of Govenhola Mountain City.

Different from the exquisite appearance in the impression, Govinhola Mountain City seems to have been baptized by the flames of war like many cities. In many places, ruins and potholes made by magic or other things can be seen, even in a There was also a messy scene similar to that after a mudslide on the slope.

Previously, when I was riding a falcon, I saw black spots like dog skin plasters on the originally pure white mountain city at high altitude, which should be the places where these victims were injured.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Edric." An old woman in a plain robe rushed over from the mountain.

"Hello, Mrs. Lauren." Xi Wei politely greeted the old lady who took good care of him when he was at the Hulian National Academy of Magic: "You look much younger than last time."

"Thank you for your praise, but I know what I am like. But Mr. Edric, you are young and promising, and you actually opened your own academy."

The benevolent old woman looked at Xi Wei with a smile, which made Xi Wei feel uncomfortable.

The two continued to chat for a while, and then Mrs. Lauren led Xi Wei to the academy.

On the way, Xi Wei also insinuated a lot of information from Mrs. Lauren, but he always felt that Mrs. Lauren had leaked this information to him on purpose. After all, she was older than his two lifetimes combined, so he could fool her casually. Xi Wei was the first to not believe it.

In the war not long ago, the Huolian National Academy of Magic was also taken care of by vampires and abyssal demons. While Bruno and a group of strong men are restrained by the opponent's top masters, if you count the low-level monsters such as the lesser demons, there are probably nearly ten thousand enemies besieging Huolian Magic Academy. Regardless of the number of strong people, attacking Huolian The number of troops in the Academy of Magic even surpassed the main force of the enemy who was fighting against the main force of the empire at that time.

Even with the Eye of Sauron sitting in town, under the enemy's fearless suicide attack. Huo Li'an Academy still suffered a lot of trauma.

The students are alright, less than fifty people were killed under the enemy's attack, but almost everyone was injured. The high-intensity continuous casting of spells also caused a certain amount of damage to their spirits, making them less energetic and looking more sluggish. Not to mention almost giving up on sleep after that. At the risk of trauma to the soul, he meditated for a long time to recover his magic power.

The number of residents of Govenhola Mountain City who died in battle reached more than 800, and nearly half of them died while covering the students. Compared with their own lives, these seniors who have fallen into the sand on the road of magic will first leave the chance of survival to those students who have an unlimited future.

"They are all good guys. They are our academy...no, they are the pride of the Huolian Empire." When Mrs. Lauren said this, the expression on her face was not sorrow, but pride and pride. It could be seen that she genuinely honored the residents who might have been her former students.

Indeed, even on the road. Xi Wei could also tell that the atmosphere in the mountain city was different from before.

Although the smiles on the faces of the residents are much less, their expressions are more resolute than usual. Except for a few things—such as the sudden striptease of Principal Bruno in public—I am afraid there is nothing that can shake their will. .

"However, we have to thank you for reducing the loss to this level." Mrs. Lauren changed back to the kind old lady she was just now. He smiled and said to Xi Wei: "If you hadn't let the students and residents work together in the college, which improved the cooperation ability a lot, I'm afraid we would have ushered in a peak of downsizing as soon as the war started. Here, maybe it’s us or the group of nocturnal species.”

"you flatter me."

Xi Wei couldn't help but blush when he heard Mrs. Lauren's compliment. He didn't think so far back then, it was just a whim to let the students do that kind of thing, and interfere with the vampire prince by the way...

***

"Long time no see, Mr. Edric."

Outside the gate of Huolian College, the head of the school, Bruno, was already waiting there.

Being able to be personally received by a great magician, this kind of courtesy can be crowned with the word "honor" for an intermediate magician.

Bruno's behavior has already given Xi Wei enough face, many injuries have almost healed, and the restless students began to secretly stick their heads out of the window and look over here.

"Hello, Lange...Master." Xi Wei thought for a while, and finally decided to use the safer title of master to address his original immediate boss.

Regarding this, Bruno's expression didn't seem to change much, but there was a trace of disappointment in his eyes. Xi Wei used to call him Dean Bruno directly.

"It's good if you can come, let's go in and talk about it in detail."

Bruno didn't want to be surrounded by people, so he took the initiative to invite Xi Weita to enter the academy, and went to the dean's room to discuss some more confidential matters.

But when they were halfway there, a small accident happened.

"You ungrateful bastard, how dare you come back!"

Framed on the huge oil painting at the entrance of the dean's outdoor corridor, a portrait of an extremely wretched middle-aged man pointed at Xi Wei and shouted loudly: "A villain like you should be stuffed into the excrement of the earth dragon Make magic fertilizer to increase the fertility of the land!"

Probably because he guessed something from the few words of the students, this ghost species, which the academy staff dubbed 'Temo the Talkative', seemed to dislike Xi Wei very much.

Just when Xi Wei was considering whether to let this stinky-mouthed guy have a taste of the holy light and let him feel what it means to be intoxicated, Bruno was the first to yell at him.

"Timo, he is my guest now." The old man stared at the oil painting without blinking. Although he didn't say much, the escaping aura made Xi Wei beside him really feel the greatness. The chasm-like gap between the magician and him.

If it weren't for the big cheat of the academy system, I'm afraid the original Xi Wei wouldn't be able to reach Bruno's level in dozens or hundreds of years.

"But Mr. Lange, such a filthy bastard..." Timo seemed very puzzled by Bruno's words.

"Temo." The old man called again, but there was a sense of majesty in this sound.

"Okay, okay, since you've said that..." He seemed to be sulking, muttering something, but he really didn't continue to speak ill of Xi Wei, while operating the oil painting Slide it aside, revealing the corridor leading to the dean's room inside.

"Thank you for protecting me." Xi Wei thanked me indifferently.

"No, boy, I'm not defending you." Bruno unexpectedly smiled like an old urchin: "I'm protecting Teemo."

Has his intention to do something just now been seen through? Xi Wei was surprised, but he didn't show anything on his face. He just followed the old man into the dean's room.

"I believe you have a general understanding of why the old man came to you, right?"

While Bruno was speaking, the cupboard not far from him opened automatically, and two teacups with four thin legs and several white pots with shapes and sizes similar to sparrow wings ran out of it.

"What would you like to drink, coffee, black tea, pumpkin juice or honey milk?"

"Um, give me a cup of coffee with milk." Xi Wei answered his last question first, and then got to the main topic: "Well, Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess has already revealed to me about Lange's treasure. "

"Give me a cup of pumpkin juice with honey, thank you." Bruno said to the pile of cups and jars, and then turned his gaze to Xi Wei: "That's right, we have already been helped by that little vampire Deciphered the location of Lange's treasure - in fact, we have found the treasure, the only thing missing is the means to take it out."

The cup full of coffee was like a drunk man, with four thin legs swinging wildly, and staggered towards Xi Wei, which made Xi Wei worry that it would give the cup of coffee directly to him. Knocking over, from the perspective of probability, it seems that it is not small...

"Shouldn't you need me for this kind of thing? I'm just an intermediate magician."

Xi Wei didn't want to belittle himself, but he really couldn't think of a reason why he needed to come here by himself.

Leaving aside the high-ranking magicians in the academy, with Bruno's own contacts alone, he probably wouldn't have a big problem if he wanted to find a few people who were stronger than Xi Wei. Just call back for help.

However, the other party chose to call him over.

Obviously, no one would be willing to share with soy sauce the things they have found so hard, especially if they found treasures or magic items, even a great magician of Bruno's level would not There will be exceptions.

So, what is the reason why Bruno would rather sacrifice part of his interests and make the decision to join forces with himself?

Xi Wei subconsciously picked up the teacup, but when he saw the dangling feet under the teacup, like dying spiders, he immediately lost his appetite and put a full cup of coffee back on the table.

"No, this time you want to get Lange's treasure, the most suitable person is you." Bruno said seriously, and picked up the cup, ignoring the movements of those little legs, and put the orange inside Drink the liquid in one gulp: "I promise."
