The Dean Has Arrived

"Well... probably the situation is like this. I can't guarantee whether I can go back to the academy tomorrow, and I can't fully believe it because there is a holy nun in the sanctuary. Be careful... well, it's almost like this."

After briefly talking about the situation here, and reminding Feite and the others of the precautions for tomorrow, Xi Wei ended the communication.

In front of him, the Saintess of the Pure White Church was arguing with the puppet who was the closest to alchemy life in this era.

"Can't you two calm down a little?" He sighed, feeling a little helpless.

"It's this little guy who is too defiant!"

It seems that Elilia has a bad impression of the doll girl.

"Who is Douding who can't even see it if you are not careful!" The doll girl reacted immediately, grinning at a certain saint like an irritated kitten.

"I didn't say that! Don't be too self-aware, little one!" Elilia stared back not to be outdone.

For some reason, Xi Wei always thought of cats and dogs when he looked at them...

"Don't call me that! You're obviously a little kid yourself!"

The doll girl seemed to dislike being described as small, but immediately she frowned suspiciously: "Speaking of which... I always feel that you are a little shorter than before."

"Well……"

Elilia, who was getting weaker and weaker because she didn't adapt to this magic-forbidden environment, was indeed a little younger than before, and even she herself was clearly aware of this.

"Could it be that the human beings are getting smaller and smaller now? The world is really incredible..."

Finding that the other party did not refute, Floris murmured to himself in disbelief.

"No, please don't take her as a representative of ordinary human beings."

Xi Wei, who was following them, made a timely complaint.

While talking, they were discovered by a creature with a giant scissors as its head.

The blade of the scissors is about three meters long, and it looks silvery and very sharp, while it is covered with black sludge in the shape of thorns and vines. Those black thorns formed spider-like organs, crawling on the ceiling, approaching them rapidly from behind.

This should be the monster created by the lich, between the living and the dead.

Because there was no way to construct and use magic, Xi Wei could only draw out the test tube potion he bought from the achievement store again.

It's just that before he could make a move, a blue arc flashed past, sealing off the aisle behind them, turning it into a dead end.

"These things have no intelligence. If you don't see the enemy for a while, you will leave soon."

The doll girl said casually as if she had done something trivial.

"More than that. I'd rather know how you use your magic."

Hearing the faint sound of hitting the wall from the other side of the wall, Xi Wei shrugged and put the potion back into his pocket while asking.

"Because spell-like abilities don't need to be built externally." To his surprise, the puppet girl actually answered his question: "Although the nature of her abilities is the same as that of dust magic, our sisters' spellcasting methods are much different from those of ordinary magicians. For a magician, it's closer to a monster."

Xi Wei didn't have an interface. He stroked his stubbled chin, as if he was thinking about something.

And because of the monster attack just now, Elilia didn't seem in the mood to continue arguing with the doll girl, and followed her wholeheartedly to move up the various stairs.

After being silent for a long time, Xi Wei spoke again.

"Although it's a bit impolite to say so, Miss Floris. I still want to ask - don't you want to collect god parts at all and become a perfect creature that surpasses ordinary creatures?"

"Mr. Edric?!"

Elilia screamed, she never thought that Xi Wei would ask such a question.

"I can't see that you are such a rude person."

And the doll girl also showed a cold expression as she expected, if this is a game. There must be a record of a sharp drop in Floris' favorability in the background.

"Although the biological father wants us to fight each other, after we die, there will be no reason for them to fight to the death with their sisters."

"So that's the case." Xi Wei nodded regardless of the other party's expression of sudden drop in favor: "It turned out that it was because he had no dreams and pursuit of the future. That's why he was sleeping in the suitcase."

"What the hell do you mean?"

The puppet girl seemed irritated by him, and stared at Xi Wei with hostile eyes.

"I've been thinking about it before. What is the difference between you now and the real life... Obviously you already have a sufficient level of self-awareness, and even have a thinking ability that is not inferior to humans. Why does this level of existence exist? It can't be regarded as an alchemy life." Xi Wei rubbed his chin and said his inference: "I didn't realize until just now that you don't have enough pursuits, dreams, or '**'. All living things They all pursue the continuation of their own lives, but if I'm not wrong... even the death of consciousness is not something unacceptable to you, right?"

"..."

The puppet girl didn't answer, but it's not hard to see from her attitude that Xi Wei was right.

After a while, she asked, "What about you? Do you all have your own dreams? Even you?"

Her last sentence was addressed to Elijah.

"Of course." A certain saint who has become a young girl said without hesitation: "My dream is to escape from the Pure White Church!"

The corner of Xi Wei's mouth twitched.

"That is really an unexpected dream..."

This guy will definitely destroy the beautiful illusions of the saints of the followers of the Pure White Church.

"Even once, I want to walk in this world well and use my own eyes to see all kinds of landscapes and cultural customs in the world, instead of just learning from the lifeless letters in the book."

Elilia's face softened, and she showed a self-deprecating smile: "In this way, I can also devote myself wholeheartedly to my identity as a saint."

The puppet girl was silent for a few seconds, then asked Xi Wei, "What about your dream?"

"No. 1 in the world." Xi Wei touched Elilia's head, and then said to Floris without hesitation, "I want my academy to become the world's number one magic academy."

"..."

During the rest of the journey, Floris never said a word again.

There was a spiral staircase leading to the clock tower. After a lot of effort, Xi Wei and the others finally climbed into the building that looked like Big Ben.

But in the center of countless gear bearings, the obelisk that should have existed has disappeared, leaving only a stone platform with dents.

"Are you really not leading the wrong way?" Irelia asked suspiciously.

"It should be right, it's still there when I came last time." Floris said strangely.

"Wait, how long ago was the last time you came here?" Xi Wei asked suddenly.

"Hmm... about two hundred years ago?"

""...""

Just when Xi Wei and Elilia were speechless, a familiar chill made Xi Wei shiver in vain.

This is one of the signs of a mage alarm!

"careful!"

Regardless of further reminders, Xi Wei hugged the two little guys who only reached his thighs around his waist, then bent his legs, accumulated enough strength in an instant, and suddenly jumped away from the spot.

In the next instant, a giant fell from the sky and smashed a big hole in the floor, exposing the gears still running under the floor.

"What is that!" Irelia asked involuntarily, startled by the thing.

The monster that descended from the sky is similar to a four-legged creature such as an alpaca or a horse in appearance, and its body is also covered with black mud. From this point of view, it should belong to the same category as the teapot and scissors encountered before.

It's just that its body is not only bigger than the previous two monsters, but through the outer layer of black mud, you can vaguely see the metal gears, huge bearings and various strange-shaped parts inside, and its head is a crystal-like piece. A prismatic object with complex incantations engraved on it.

"found it!"

"That's the one!"

In the next moment, Elilia and Floris, who were still held by Xi Wei's waist, looked at the monster's head at the same time and shouted.

""That is the (final) seal carrier! ""
