The Dean Has Arrived

Even though the Pure White Church tried to mediate, the war still started.

The first one to take action was Adric Academy.

Under Xiwei's control, Adric's students made full use of the resources of their own college that were far superior to those of the Mage Association, and defeated the advance army sent by the Mage Association to surround Cimolo in one fell swoop.

Because the victory was so clean and tidy, the eyes of the crowd of people around who were waiting to see the joke and touch the body almost popped out.

Someone may want to ask. It was said before that Old Man Shaman from the War Mage Association and Xi Wei from Edric College had a tacit understanding and had even decided on the direction of the war. So why? Will there be a situation like the Mage Association's advance army surrounding Cimolo?

The reason is simple.

Because as time goes by, although the scale of the war will expand to a certain extent, due to Xi Wei's intervention, there is almost no need to doubt the outcome.

Therefore, if the Mages Association wants to have more bargaining chips at the post-war negotiation table, it can only achieve a considerable advantage in the early stage.

You don't need to try your best to kill the students of Edric Academy, you just need to defeat them. And letting them go like a bereaved dog would give Xi Wei an invisible constraint. From a war perspective, giving up killing Edric's students was a favor to Xi Wei.

Even if Xi Wei takes action at that time, he will definitely be constrained by this favor - someone deliberately lets your student go, and you turn around and kill them. This is a bit too much.

You must know that Edric does not need a strong administrative organization, but a school. A school that loses its reputation will not only fail to gain the respect of others, but will also greatly affect its own development.

Xi Wei was not an idiot, so he naturally knew what was fishy.

It's just that knowing that he knows, he won't be stupid enough to give points to the other party.

After ascertaining the general strategy of the place, it's a matter of finding the right tactics and taking advantage of them.

During the battle, the advance troops of the Mage Association acted more or less recklessly—probably because they were afraid that they would accidentally kill a student from Adric College and incur Xi Wei's revenge—but it was also because of this. , they would in turn be defeated by Edric's students, those little guys who were just rookies in their opinion.

But similarly, Xi Wei did not massacre these defeated mages, otherwise the war would have changed.

He just asked the students who studied seals in the school to come up with a special set of sealing scrolls to seal away the magic power of the defeated and captured mages. The seals on the scrolls will last for about three months. By that time, The war should almost be over.

It’s not that the Mages’ Association can’t do anything about this seal. In fact, as long as the magicians from the academy work hard to study it, they can decipher the seal in about a month, and maybe the Curse Pattern Studies over there will be able to do so because of this. There is a little progress.

Even ignoring the principle of sealing, it is not impossible for a powerful person at the level of a great magician to directly break the curse.

But if all the academic mages are really thrown into the mage tower for research, then Hohenheim's combat effectiveness will be further reduced, and the war may not be over in a month.

If the great magician forcibly removes the curse, it will have a considerable impact on the spirit and mana. If the departure of the academic mage affects the main combat power, then the removal of the curse by the great magician will affect the high-end combat power, no matter what. It was Hohenheim's side that suffered.

You must know that there are not just one or two seals. In the counter-encirclement and suppression of the Cimolo advance army alone, the number of sealed magicians exceeded a thousand (although most of them were low-level magicians).

And according to the development of the war, it is obvious that this situation will get worse for Hohenheim.

So the question becomes, can Hohenheim use the same method to deal with Edric Academy?

Maybe the senior officials there will make a similar attempt, but the final result will definitely disappoint them.

Because Edric's Three Sages system can decipher almost all seals and enchantment methods of this era in a short period of time, and then it only needs to be decoded in a low-cost, fast and effective way...

As the war continued, the balance of victory soon moved towards Edric in an absolute tilt, under the astonished eyes of everyone who did not understand the inside story.

"It's so incomprehensible!"

In a forest at the southern end of the Eastern Plains, a magician complained.

He and his companions were now marching through the woods.

This forest is not a good one. There are swamps and natural pit traps hidden in many places. When even the most experienced hunters enter it, they will move forward slowly and cautiously.

But this group of magicians is different.

They sat on the sliding poles and were carried like sedans by the spiritual servants, and they shuttled quickly through the forest.

The mage who just complained took out his wand and flicked it, a trap detection spell was cast, and many dark red light spots suddenly appeared on the ground.

Those spiritual servants carefully avoided the locations of these light spots.

"I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking, but they actually want us to be merciful to those little brats..." He took back his wand and then continued: "Are you kidding, we are not rookies! You must know that magicians only need to fight with If you are careless for a moment, you will lose, and the result of failure will probably be death! Do those bastards in the Mage Council not care about our lives so much?"

"Well, I think the higher-ups should have their own ideas. Mr. Shaman doesn't seem like the kind of person who makes fun of other people's lives." Another round-faced mage said calmly. It seemed that he was more optimistic by nature: " Maybe we can go back to Hohenheim as long as we go through the motions? I would rather huddle in the mage tower and do experiments than slaughter others or be killed by others."

His words resonated a lot, and other mages also praised them.

Suddenly, the movements of the spiritual servants stopped.

Not far from them, there was a man wearing a windbreaker and a hood standing there, as if waiting for their arrival.

"who are you?"

The magician who complained at the beginning narrowed his eyes and drew out his wand as if facing an enemy.

But almost the next moment, circular holes appeared in the space around them.

Immediately afterwards, other mages around were drawn into the space hole by the claws or tentacles that suddenly stretched out from the hole. Immediately, large streams of blood splashed out from those holes, and what came out together were also There were the shrill screams of those mages before they died.

The only remaining magician was frightened by this sudden turn of events. He screamed and waved his wand, shooting out a stream of silver air.

The hooded man opposite just tilted his head slightly and easily avoided the silver airflow.

But because of this, his hood was pulled down by the aftermath of the airflow, revealing the face under the hood.

"It's you!"

The magician obviously knew the other party, and he yelled and wanted to continue casting magic.

But the hooded man didn't give him this chance.

With just a snap of his fingers, a huge blue dragon creature fell from the sky and bit the mage into rotten pieces of meat.

"Stop playing." Until this time, the hooded man closed the space holes, then jumped behind the blue dragon, and then said to the blue dragon: "Let's go, Degarex."

"Roar--!!!"
