The Dean Has Arrived

The thumping sound was accompanied by sparks caused by magic, dancing on the lock of the suitcase, but the lock, which was already covered with traces of rust, showed no sign of being opened at all.

"Phew... can't this work!" Sophia said out of breath, and her hand holding the magic book dropped.

Although this kind of spellcasting that does not require rituals or standard actions does not consume physical strength, the emptiness caused by the loss of magic power from the body will still give people an illusion of powerlessness.

Although there is still a lot of magic power stored in the magic book, those magic powers already belong to emergency reserves, and it is not worthwhile to use them just to open a box: "Sorry, it seems that I can't open this box."

"Mummu, this box has such complete safety measures. Is it really important to put it in it!"

Alice said with a serious face.

It's just that the movement of her wiping the iron candlestick in her hand doesn't match the serious expression on her face, instead it feels funny.

"Is it something important to the teacher..." Alisa looked at the eyelid box, then looked at the ceiling, as if thinking about something: "In short, if Sister Sophia can't open it, we can only give up. "

At this time, Tio, who had been staring at the suitcase without blinking his eyes since just now, walked up to the front of the suitcase, then held the top of the suitcase with both hands, and lifted it up vigorously.

Sophia, who was still wondering what Tio was going to do just now, saw the girl's behavior of just wanting to open the box without asking, and couldn't help laughing: "Tio, this is not acceptable. If the box is locked, no matter how hard you try ..."

But before she finished speaking, the box was opened with the little girl's strength, making a tooth-piercing 'squeak' sound.

""...""

The other girls stared blankly at Tio and the opened box, and then they were speechless.

"Yes, yes! Although there is a lock on the front, this box was not said to be locked..." Sophia closed the magic book, and her whole body began to sink: "How could you make such a low-level mistake... I must be so tired."

But now that the box has been opened. Several girls immediately surrounded it, intending to see what was inside.

However, if you don't look, you don't know. Seeing the expressions on the faces of the girls became a little strange.

"Is this a doll?" Alice asked looking at a doll that Tio took out of the suitcase.

The doll is only about 30 centimeters long, and it looks like a girl with gorgeous blond hair, whether it's the noble-looking red fluffy dress or the skin that feels like skin. The workmanship is very delicate.

If her joints were not ball joints, she might be mistaken for a creature of another race by the girls.

"It should just look like a doll, but it's actually a very powerful magic weapon." Alisa guessed, and she said delicately: "At least I can't imagine that the teacher hides in the room and plays with the doll." It looks like..."

It's fine if she doesn't say anything, but when Alice and Sophia said it, the image of Xi Wei playing with a doll appeared in their minds, and they burst out laughing at the same time.

Only Tio held the doll under the armpit with both hands, lifted the doll to his chest, and looked at Alisa, whose eyes were a little confused, and Alice and Sophia, who were laughing beside her, tremblingly.

After laughing enough, Sophia, who was the most knowledgeable among the four, seriously appraised the doll.

"If you guessed right. This should be a golem, not an ordinary doll." After looking at it for a long time, she came to a conclusion: "From this point of view, Alisa is indeed right. This is a very important thing. A powerful wizard."

"A puppet? Is it something like a gargoyle?" Alisa thought of what Xi Wei had said in class, and approached the puppet with interest, looking at it carefully. He asked in disbelief, "Could it be that such a cute doll is the same thing as a vicious gargoyle?"

"Theoretically, it is true." Sophia nodded: "But the structure of this puppet is very strange, and it seems to be very different from ordinary puppet... After all, my alchemy level has just set foot in the alchemy life. So I can't see the details, and I can only wait for Xi Wei to answer it when I go back."

The girl pouted, as if unwilling to say: "Anyway, he asked us to find this this time. He should know the detailed information."

Tio looked as if everyone else had finished watching. He obediently put the doll back into the small suitcase and closed the box again.

It's just that the carrying of the suitcase has become a new problem.

"This can't be sealed in the book." Sophia tried several times, trying to seal the small suitcase containing the doll into the book, but all failed: "It seems that this box or the doll has a certain amount of magic resistance."

"Then what should we do? Do we want us to carry it all the way back... This looks so heavy." Alice tried to lift the suitcase, but found that the suitcase was unexpectedly heavy. Not to mention carrying it all the way back, according to the physical fitness of the girls, even if they carry it for a few hours, the arm muscles will be severely strained, and they will not be able to lift their hands within a few days.

"Let's take turns carrying it with the hands of the mage, it will be much easier." Finally, Alisa came up with an idea.

Except for Tio, with the help of their respective weapons, the strength of the mage's hand was enough to lift the box.

Although it is a bit difficult to move and cast spells, as long as the speed is not too fast, there is no problem. Taking turns by several people can also effectively avoid the situation where someone's magic power is exhausted and unable to cope with emergencies.

"Oh, it seems like this is the only way to go." Alice sighed, not because she wanted to sneak away or something, but because the mage tower was leaving before cleaning, which made the girl with a little obsessive-compulsive disorder a little uncomfortable that's all...

She took the lead in mobilizing the mage's hand, picked up the box, and walked out carefully.

However, she let out a scream as soon as she walked outside, followed by the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

Alisa and the others ran out in a hurry. Want to know what happened.

I saw Alice sitting on the ground with a frightened expression on her face, and the small suitcase had already fallen beside her. Because of the heavy fall, the unlocked suitcase was knocked open Come on, let the puppet be exposed outside.

However, the exercise in the past few days has given the girl enough experience in dealing with emergencies, even if she falls to the ground. Alice also held a small dagger in her hand, as if she would throw it out at any time if something went wrong.

Unlike Sophia Alisa and the others, Alice does not have much magic as a maid. The best one to use is only a mage's hand. And her talent is not very good, although she has magic power, she doesn't have the corresponding elemental affinity. Even if she is equipped with a weapon similar to the 'Mercury' in Alisa's hand, she may not even be able to use the inherent magic that comes with it.

Therefore, what Xi Wei gave her was a set of more direct and easy-to-use equipment.

[Van Helsing's silver-plated throwing dagger (rare)]

【Rare Weapon】

[A dagger that can be attached to various magics, the exterior is silver-plated, and has been baptized with holy water for a long time, and it has a very high sacred aura. It is a set with its own dagger set. 】

[Physical Damage: 3580]

【Holy Damage: 2020】

[Sanctity: Double the damage to all dark creatures. 】

[Magic-friendly metal: it is easier to attach magic to it]

[Dagger Set: Automatically restore the quantity, one will be restored every half an hour. 】

[Remarks: 'I walk under the cloak of the Dark Emperor, and hunt its people with all my might. ’—by Van Helsing]

Although in many places this kind of pure weapon is not comparable to equipment such as wands, magic books, and crystal balls, but for Alice, it is currently her most handy weapon.

The dagger sheath was in the shape of a black belt and was tied to the girl's thigh, with a total of five pocket daggers inserted into it. Alice could pull the dagger out of the dagger case extremely quickly if she wanted to.

Then, just use what Sivert taught her to form a silk, which is said to be an improved version of the mage's hand, and stick it to the throwing dagger, and then when throwing the dagger, you can control the flying knife through the sticking mana thread The attack route is now, although this kind of manipulation is extremely difficult to control the magic power. But compared to when Alice manipulated several mage hands to clean, cook and prepare at the same time when she was in Huo Lian National Academy, it was as easy as the palm of my hand, very convenient.

Moreover, apart from the fact that the dagger can be recovered by picking it up, even if it is destroyed or lost in battle, the dagger set can restore a new dagger within half an hour. It is very convenient.

"What's wrong? Is there something?" Sophia cautiously looked around. asked Alice.

"It seems that there is something in the bush over there." Alice pointed at the bush on the right with a dagger, then stood up from the ground, patted her round buttocks, and patted the dust off the maid's skirt. She lost a lot—Although Alice personally prefers long skirts, regardless of other reasons, short skirts are obviously better than long skirts just for walking in the jungle, so she can only use traditional ones The maid's long skirt was replaced by a short skirt. To be honest, the absolute territory formed by the skirt and suspenders is still very seductive.

Immediately afterwards, she continued to point the dagger at the bushes.

Alisa and Tio also raised their weapons vigilantly. The attacks they encountered along the way were not less than the monsters Xi Wei encountered while brushing a copy. And the large amount of actual combat experience gained from this has also allowed several girls to grow up rapidly.

Just as they were staring at the bush nervously, a pair of triangular ears suddenly rose from the bush, and then a cat head with a hat woven from plants came out of it. Only Kate tribe.

"Ah, it's the cat human we met before!" Alice exclaimed in surprise.

The Kate jumped out of the bushes, and then meowed into it twice, and suddenly more than a dozen cats stuck their heads out of the bushes timidly, looking like a dozen or so cats growing on the bushes. A fruit like a cat's head, very cute and weird at the same time...

Probably as the leader of the Kate tribe, the Kate tribe with the hat on its head meowed for a long time. The little fluffy paws kept waving like flying flies, but it was a pity that Alisa and the others didn't understand the unique meow language of the Kate tribe at all, and in the end they didn't know what the Kate tribe was talking about.

In the end, Tio had a flash of inspiration, spread a layer of dust on the ground with the wind, and then signaled the Kate to write Common Language on it with a branch.

It seems that the cultural education of the Kate tribe is still very good. The tiger-striped Kate tribe picked up a branch (don't ask me why cats can use meat balls to pick up things) and began to write on the ground.

Soon the girls understood the whole story.

It turned out that after the incident of the skeleton mage, although most of the older Kate tribe planned to return to the village where they had lived for generations. In that paradise-like small village, they continued to live the previous life, but there were still many younger Kate tribes who protested.

After seeing the supernatural profession of a magician and witnessing the battle between magicians with his own eyes. Their hearts became hot. How exciting is the outside world, how many things are there that you can't see in your life in the valley, and whether you can make some achievements outside.

Lots and lots of ideas crammed into the heads of these young, dashing kittens. After negotiating with the elders for a long time, only twenty-five Kate tribe decided to leave the group to see if they could become the followers of the girls and travel with the girls who they thought were already very powerful. If they don't accept it, these Kate tribe can only find their own way out.

"Are you really planning to join us..." Although she had a faint feeling at the beginning, Sophia still had some headaches.

She herself is only a teacher of the academy founded by Xi Wei, and she does not have the right to hire followers or recruit students on her own. If she is asked to come, at most, she will recruit two of the Kate tribe as her mage followers.

"What should I do?" Alice asked softly.

"Anyway, let the teacher know first." Alisa, who always focused on Xi Wei, suggested this.

Although Sophia was still a little depressed, it didn't matter. Naturally, Alice and Tio didn't care about it, and it didn't matter if they let Xi Wei make the decision.

So, when Tio was trying to negotiate with the leader Kate to give him the hat—obviously, this matter was not going well—Sophia had already started to write close-ups in the exchange diary.

——Quilin province? Floating island chain——

When receiving Sophia's notification. Xi Wei was sitting on the tamed falcon, planning to go to the city.

In fact, he received the information prompt from the system first.

[There are a group of humanoid creatures who want to be protected by you and your academy members. 】

[Biological Type: Kate Humanoid]

【Quantity: 25】

[They are young Kate tribes, with great energy and a greater thirst for knowledge. They make good fighters, miners, fishermen, forgemakers, tailors, farmers, and more. 】

[In addition to the basic occupations, when there are special buildings such as Meatball Farm, Mizumaki Forest, Red Lotus Mine or Underground Abandoned City, the Kite tribe can perform special job transfers. 】

【also. Each household (5) of the Kate tribe settled in the college and its vicinity can bring you an additional 5 points of money resource income every month. 】

Although Xi Wei was confused by this inexplicable message at first, he soon realized that it must be the work of a few girls hundreds of miles away.

So he took out the exchange diary from the storage box, and sure enough, he saw Sophia's message on it.

Without even thinking about it, Xi Wei approved their request to bring those Kate tribe back.

Although it shouldn't be as good as a race with special talents, judging from the introduction, the Kate tribe, a strange race that looks like a cat walking on two legs, is actually all-round for a series of tasks such as combat, manufacturing and production!

It would be unreasonable not to accept such a cost-effective race, okay?

When Xi Wei was looking for the race he wanted to recruit, he had thought of the Kate tribe. However, although the recruitment conditions of the Kate tribe are simpler than those of elves and goblins, there are still a lot of things to build. What kind of cat car training camp? , What kind of cat panels, what kind of cat training grounds, etc., and most importantly, these buildings sound out of place with the academy, no matter in name or appearance.

Unexpectedly, in the end, it was his students who fulfilled his wish and helped him attract a group of Kate clan.

Thinking of this, Xi Wei, who was sitting on the back of the Falcon, cast his eyes on his academy, which had already taken shape, and smiled knowingly.

When those girls come here according to the information he gave, they will definitely be surprised!

But now Xi Wei has to go to the Roland Chamber of Commerce and ask them how the deal about the exchange of magic cores and shining crystals for steel is going. I always feel that after collecting my deposit, the Chamber of Commerce will be silent. look...

With the help of the newly added leprechauns, the magic pool and star vein furnace are progressing rapidly, and the expansion of the underground space has not been stopped. It is precisely because of this that the issue of the lack of steel has once again been put on the table. Xi Wei It was only then that he had to negotiate with the Luo Lan Chamber of Commerce.

After all, the time limit for the temporary recruitment coupon was too tight. Even if Xi Wei spent 30 achievement points, he could only buy a 72-hour recruitment coupon. If you don't prepare all the materials and tools quickly during this time, maybe so many achievement points will be wasted in the end.

Thinking of this, Xi Wei urged the big bird under his crotch, uh, I mean the falcon, to fly towards the city that is becoming more and more lively because the game is getting closer and closer. (To be continued..)
