The Dean Has Arrived

"My teacher is a puppeteer... You just need to understand it as a kind of alchemist." Seeing the girl's dumbfounded look from the corner of his eyes, Xi Wei couldn't help slowing down his explanation, and said in words that are easier for ordinary people to understand: "According to what she said, she has traveled the entire Eastern Continent... Yes, she has been to the northern hills and the southern forests. Even among magicians who look at the entire Eastern Plains, her experience can be considered rich."

The golden magic light flickered on the lock of the suitcase on the east slope, and immediately, many runes representing sealing magic appeared on the square iron plate that looked like an ordinary machine key lock.

Xi Wei frowned slightly, and began to deduce and decipher the sealing magic in reverse.

"Zhenhong is the most satisfying work in her life, not one of them..."

"Hey, wait a minute?"

Although she knew it was impolite to interrupt someone while they were talking, Elilia couldn't help but said, "Aren't those eight puppets made by a lich? What does it have to do with your teacher?" ?”

Xi Wei didn't blame the girl for interrupting. In fact, most of his attention has been focused on the lock of the suitcase now, and he just replied reflexively: "Didn't I just say that my teacher has been there?" Lots of places. 'True Red' is what she picked up on her travels."

"Eh? I'm getting more and more confused..." The girl tilted her head and rested her index finger on her chin: "It's obviously a doll made by a lich, why did it become your teacher's satisfactory work after being picked up by your teacher?" ?”

"That's because..."

Xi Wei stopped what he was doing, turned around and stared at the girl, and only when the girl felt a little nervous, he said quietly: "When my teacher picked her up, Zhenhong was completely destroyed—" —'It can be seen that she was originally a very ingenious doll, but unfortunately when I found her, many parts of the body had been lost, and the original magic core structure was also gone. It was no different from a corpse or a doll. It can be described as tattered!" This is what my teacher said at the time."

"This, so to speak...has the true red that represents human beings been destroyed by other dolls?"

For some reason, the girl's expression looked a little regretful. Probably because she still subconsciously classifies herself as a human being.

"That's right. Like the teacher, I used to regard Zhenhong as a puppet abandoned by other puppeteers or alchemists. It wasn't until just now that I realized that when the teacher met her, Zhenhong should have been attacked by other puppets. , and was robbed of the god parts."

"I always feel a little pitiful... Even though they were sisters who were born together, they have to fight with each other."

Elilia held her chest with both hands, with a complicated look on her face.

"Wow!"

I didn't notice the girl's abnormal expression at all, because Xi Wei, who was shocked by the arc rebounding on the suitcase, retracted his hand and shook it because of a mistake in deduction and deciphering, while looking at the suitcase with a depressed face: "It's all good, I just want to open this thing right now."

— Edric College? Dean chamber--

"What 'I believe in you, so you also believe in what I believe in you'!"

Sophia slammed the pen on the ground hard, and the ferocious expression on her face made everyone who saw it involuntarily think of the legendary hell refining demon.

Even Saranlia, who was a vampire princess and had a high status in the demon camp, was scared by her and shrank in the corner of the room, trembling with her head in her arms.

"Leaving such a sentence and then sneaking away again!" The girl roared angrily and resounded through the room: "And Fei Te, you too, you are obviously by his side, why don't you stop him as soon as you see him doing something like this! "

If it weren't for the excellent sound insulation effect of the dean's room, I'm afraid the whole academy would know that the dean has run away by now.

"What a mistake."

Feite was floating in the air, shaking his head, and flicking his ponytails along with her movements, but there was no regretful expression on the ghost girl's face at all: "Seeing how righteous he said at that time, I thought He was really thinking about the academy. Was it just to avoid dealing with these matters?"

Seeing the other party's behavior like this, Sophia also knew that no matter how much she blamed her, it would be of no use. In the end, she could only sigh deeply, and sat back in her seat.

"Sighing all the time will cause stomach ulcers." The pearl-colored ghost girl floated to Sophia's side and made a shoulder-squeeze gesture.

"Who do you think I sighed because of!" Sophia ignored the other party's actions and just gave her a supercilious look.

"Xi Wei? Edric!"

"Although it's true to say that... Sigh." When Xi Wei was mentioned, Sophia couldn't help sighing again: "I always feel that I was deceived by his back full of ambition."

"Even if you say so. But if Xi Wei is really just the kind of person who has been nesting in the academy, you wouldn't like him, would you?" As one of the few people (or ghosts) in the academy who dared to make fun of Sophia , Feite didn't care at all whether he would hit the opponent's thunder point, and said bluntly.

"It's just admiration!" The red-haired girl categorically denied: "My mother said to me a long time ago, 'Generally speaking, especially girls, the person who falls in love with each other first loses', so I will definitely not fall in love first. Last person's!"

"Huo Huo Huo, what a pure love girl's speech, I am more and more optimistic about you~"

The ghost girl laughed disrespectfully.

"Shut up, five-hundred-year-old grandma!"

Just when one person and one ghost seemed to be about to quarrel, the door of the dean's room was opened.

Alice walked in pushing a dining car, and behind the maid was a puppet named True Red, but this puppet with full fighting power had a tray with teapots and cups on its head at the moment. It sounds ridiculous.

"Sister Sophia, do you want some supper?" She opened the lids of the dining car one by one, revealing all kinds of delicate pastries inside.

"Alice, are you still asleep?"

Sophia smiled at the maid girl, and at the same time quickly tidied up the messy papers on the desktop.

"Well, I usually don't go to bed until later... Teacher usually sneaks to the kitchen to eat something at this time, so I will make a snack before then."

Alice placed the dinner tray neatly on the table, then took the tray from Zhenhong and made two cups of black tea: "Miss Shalan, please come and take a rest, I specially baked special biscuits according to your taste. "

"...Then I won't be polite." The little vampire carefully looked at Sophia, whose expression had softened, and Fate, who was looking out through the sealed window with half of her body, before coming to Alice's side.

It can be seen that the relationship between the little vampire and Alice is good.

In fact, everyone in the academy has a good relationship with this maid girl...

"That's right, the one before was called the toilet seat..." As if suddenly remembering something, Feite pulled his body back from the window, and said to Sophia who was eating a horseshoe-shaped biscuit.

"Hey, it's Madal!"

Sophia almost choked, and she took a sip of black tea before recovering.

"Almost, anyway, that bald head seems to have made an application to see Xi Wei tomorrow." Feite continued.

"Let's decline it politely. Let's just say that Xi Wei and the saint have something to discuss about the cooperation between Edric Academy and the Pure White Church." Sophia made a decision without hesitation. After a pause, she continued: "Use Xi Wei's identity replied that he would pay a visit to your college after the assessment is over."

"Why don't you change 'Your College' to 'Family College in order'?"

"Hehe, you are so bad."

"the same as you."

"Whirring whirring……"

"Hey Hey……"

The two girls, who were bitter and bitter because of Xi Wei's strike, smiled at each other, and found Xi Wei a lot of hard work when the parties were completely unaware of the situation.

"Then...why did Miss Alice cover my ears just now?"

"I just think it's better for the pure Miss Shalan not to hear the conversation just now."

Snack time is in the second half.

The puppet Zhenhong yawned first.

"Zhenhong, are you tired?" Alice asked with concern: "It's okay to go to bed first."

"fine."

The doll girl rubbed her eyes and shook her head.

It's just that she seemed to be on the verge of falling due to sleepiness, and it didn't take long for her to fall asleep under the gaze of several other girls.

"Obviously I don't need to eat, but I need to sleep... I always feel that it is amazing to be really red." Shalanlia lowered her voice and sighed.

"It is said that after the era of the Great Migration, there was an alchemist who liked to hunt and kill pure-blooded vampires, stripped their memories by some means, sealed their souls in dolls, created pseudo-alchemists, and used them as ' The research report on reappearing alchemy life in the age of mythology was submitted to the Qiyao Masters Association, and it won the three-pole Merlin Medal for it!"

Fate suddenly turned his face green, and while approaching the little vampire, he said in a gloomy voice: "And the puppets he made still remain in this world to this day..."

"Really, really?!" The biscuit in Sharanlia's hand fell on the table, and her whole body trembled visibly.

"Fake!"

Sophia tapped the little vampire's head with the spoon in her hand: "Don't believe what others say."

"Ahh..." The little vampire held his head dejectedly, but the expression of relief on his face was also obvious.

"Speaking of which, after getting more intimate with Zhenhong recently, I always feel that Zhenhong is conveying something to me..." Alice also spoke at this time: "Obviously nothing has changed from usual, but that kind of feeling seems to be in the body. The feeling that something is missing is what bothers me.”

"True Red is a great alchemy product, at least it seems to me that it has no shortcomings." Sophia seemed not interested in it: "I used the structure of True Red for reference when I was making golems before, and it is indeed Teacher Xi Wei who is most proud The work is really perfect!"

"Is that so……"

Alice still looked a little helpless.

“Dim sum is delicious.”

The snack time ended with the disappearance of the last piece of cake. Sophia sucked her finger and said contentedly, "Anyway, Alice, go and rest first."

"Well, Sister Sophia goes to bed early too." The maid girl tidied up the table and her own mood, and left with the usual expression.

"Then we must continue to work hard!" Sophia stretched her waist, looking much more energetic.

"Oh! I don't need to sleep anyway~" Fate floated as usual.

"Zzzz..."

""Since you are a vampire, don't sleep at night! ! ! ""

——Clockwork Clock City Center Room——

"ouch!" Xi Wei screamed inexplicably, while shaking his hand that was electrocuted again.

Behind him, the saint Elilia was too bored to sit on the clean floor, falling into a half-dream and half-awake state.

"Hmph...has it finally come to this point..."

Xi Wei was not discouraged by failure, but seemed a little excited: "There are only 29 seals left in the one hundred and forty-nine seals. Let's see how I can unlock this lock!"

When he said this, he suddenly paused.

"Wait... lock?"

→ Xi Wei used the master key.

→ 149 heavy seals were broken.

→ Xi Wei successfully opened the suitcase.

"What was the purpose of my previous efforts..."
