The Dean Has Arrived

"Your Highness, this is information from informants lurking among humans."

In the castle on the West Cliff, a pale but extremely handsome man presented a secret letter to a girl sitting on a big velvet bed.

The girl snapped her fingers a little, and the secret letter floated in front of her, and it opened by itself, revealing the contents inside.

The golden eyes, which had been somewhat dispirited, suddenly became energetic after reading the letter with a small number of words.

"Huo, it seems that Edric's magical human friend is planning to do something interesting again."

She jumped up from the soft bed, and her loose nightgown floated high due to inertia, revealing a large piece of white and smooth skin that made people imagine infinitely.

Then she snapped her fingers again, and the crumpled nightgown disappeared, replaced by a bright red princess dress and a gorgeous parasol that must have been decorated with tassels.

"Your Highness, do you also want to participate in the inexplicable and vulgar activities that cunning human beings have created?" Asachel, who was covered in black robes, said with some surprise and disdain.

"Azazel, have you ever participated in this event called the Great Magic Festival?"

Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess of the Dark Night Noble cast a glance at her chief servant with blood-red eyes, and asked in an indifferent and sweet voice.

"This is the first time this event has been held, and of course I have never participated in it." Although he was a little puzzled by the girl's question, but out of absolute loyalty to his master, Asachel replied truthfully: "It's just. There is no need to waste time and energy to pay attention to the activities of such low-level creatures."

"It's not a good tendency to dismiss a new thing without first-hand experience."

The girl leaned on the ground using the parasol as a crutch. Said arrogantly.

"But, but... Humans are just food for vampires..."

"But all of our vampire civilizations are learned from humans." Asachel seemed to want to argue, but was slammed by the girl: "Azachel, you have been too impetuous recently, go back to the abyss for our family, Calm down in the Styx!"

Asachel sipped his lips a few times, but in the end he didn't dare to confront the girl, so he could only bend slightly: "Understood, this subordinate will let those liches prepare to open the gate of the abyss."

The gate to the abyss is not so easy to open, otherwise it was to let those abyssal demons come to the main material plane. Her Royal Highness the Vampire Princess doesn't need to spend so much effort.

Even now that the forces of the abyss have stabilized to a certain extent on the eastern plain, it is still difficult to open the portal, and it will take some time to prepare.

"I don't know when the devil will come. It just so happens that our family is tired of staying in the castle..." It can be seen that the girl is in a very good mood now: "Edric is really a good guy .”

"But Your Royal Highness."

The handsome vampire who presented the information just now glanced at Asachel under the hood with an uncertain face, and asked with some hesitation: "Is it really okay for you to suddenly run into the human territory like this? Don't say anything else. Just Bringing trouble to that human Edric will also affect the future cooperation, right?"

Well done Karu, Your Highness, hurry up and give up this unreliable itinerary!

Asachel shouted in his heart.

"Dokalu, you think too much, our family will play as a human being. As long as you don't reveal your identity, Edrick will not be stingy with a spot."

The vampire princess waved her hand. Then he said as if he remembered something: "By the way, if Asachel returns to the abyss, I will lack a personal bodyguard. Dokaru will come with you."

So the handsome vampire could only bitterly accept the appointment under Asachel's eyes that seemed to burst open at any moment.

It's not a good feeling to be missed by a big demon... especially when he is just a duke-level vampire.

—— Edric College. Restaurant ——

Even if Xi Wei didn't ask for it. The entire Morag residents still spontaneously put up lanterns and festoons, decorating the city that was still dead not long ago like the grandest festival.

Walking in the brightly lit streets. No matter who you are, you will feel infected by the joyful atmosphere, and even your mood will become extraordinarily happy.

It's a pity that no matter how happy the mood is, it still can't be eaten.

"Professor Evan Jielin, you are also the former eldest princess of Huo Lian after all, can you be a little more reserved in eating?" Alice pushed the dining car to the table where Evan Jielin was, and collected most of the empty dishes on it. Plate, while putting a new plate filled with delicacies on it, the maid girl smiled wryly and said, "Many students who were looking forward to you all showed disillusioned expressions..."

"No way, the food in the Horngolat Empire is really terrible!"

Evan Jielin finally stopped her image-destructive eating, put down the plate in her hand, and with the crumbs on the corner of her mouth, she spoke confidently to the maid girl who returned to the position of head maid shortly after returning to Edric. He complained, "I'm used to eating Edric's food, and then go to eat those shit, how can I eat it!"

Although the Horngolat Empire is the largest country in the Eastern Plains, because their country adheres to the rules passed down from generation to generation, no matter whether it is the royal family or the nobles, their private lives are relatively poor.

It is said that this is to prevent them from indulging in enjoyment, and to keep vigilant about their positions at all times... Although most people don't know the relationship between basic necessities of life and vigilance...

In fact, many nobles in Horngolat have begun to ignore this rule and enjoy a good life—of course it’s only in private, and on the surface they still have to abide by this kind of penance-like rules— I don't know if it's because of the unbalanced mentality of "how can I repair it, you don't want to eat well if I can't eat well", the food in the VIP guest house of the Horngolat Empire is also very bad.

Obviously, there are many dishes, the appearance is beautiful, the fragrance is overflowing, and the nutrition is rich. But it's very unpalatable...

"I'm sorry, the food in my country is not very good. If the guests have any opinions...you come to beat me!"

Although the empire did not express anything about this, the above sentence is almost their default attitude.

Damn, who in the surrounding countries can beat you!

In short, it was because of this that, after getting used to Edric's 'delicious + 2' food, and then going to the Horngolat Empire Guest House to eat the food that dogs would ignore, it's no wonder that Evangeline lost her composure.

Of course, there is also a big reason that after unloading the burden of being a princess, her cold shell as a disguise is also getting along with Edric's innocent and pure students. Gradually melting and peeling off, revealing the true relationship of oneself.

"Professor Evangeline, why are you going to the Horngolat Empire?" In fact, there was still some distance before lunch time, and there were not many people in the restaurant, so Alice simply took the time to ask Evangeline.

"Actually, what I'm looking for is not Horngolat, but the King's Council."

Evan Jielin bit the spoon and said vaguely.

As one of the three major powers in the Eastern Plains (not counting the Timothy En Dark Alliance), the resident decision-making place of the King's Council is the Hoengolat Empire.

Of course, it is impossible for the emperors and dukes of various countries to stay in Horngolat all the time. So most of the time, the composition of the King's Council is actually composed of the spokespersons of the empire, and Evangeline was also one of them last year.

Going to the King's Council this time, Ewen Jielin's task was not difficult, but she proposed to borrow all the land within a radius of 20 kilometers around Morag, and no one was allowed to enter under any pretext during this period. Return it after the big magic festival is over.

As a self-proclaimed family of magic technology, and comparable (in fact, it is already ahead in many aspects) Edric College of the Qiyao Mage Association, it will naturally have a way to monitor that area.

Although during the meeting, some people who wrote that they couldn't understand Edric College jumped out to object, but most of them. Especially after the country Morag originally belonged to agreed, the proposal was successfully finalized.

"What exactly does the teacher want to do?" After listening to Evan Jielin's narration. Alice held the dinner plate in one hand and rested her cheek in the other, and there were more question marks in her head.

"Isn't it the Great Magic Festival? Aren't the students outside already preparing for it?"

Evangeline is not confused about this at all.

Not long ago, all the tasks on the bulletin board were cancelled, leaving only the last preparation called 'The Great Magic Festival! ’ task.

The task requirement is very simple, let the students come up with programs they think are interesting: games, competitions, strange checkpoints, booth sales, exhibitions, performances and the like. By the time of the Great Magic Festival, all the programs will be included in the selection list, and the top ten will receive gifts carefully prepared by Xi Wei.

So from the announcement of the task, the students began to work hard to prepare for the Great Magic Festival.

"I don't think the teacher will just make a hodgepodge of student programs as the main event of the Great Magic Festival." Alice put her index finger on her lips and guessed: "There must be other activities, Teacher Evan Jielin, you should also know A little truth?"

"As expected of Alice, the dean really understands us."

Evan Jielin, who finally wiped out the food on the table again, let out a sigh of satisfaction, and then enjoyed the after-dinner black tea served by Alice as a matter of course: "What I want to say is really not 'a hodgepodge of students' programs' but 'A hodgepodge of programs from dozens of magic schools', besides that, Mr. Xi Wei has also arranged some other things, so I am not in charge. If you want to know, just ask the other person in charge."

"Huh? Aren't the other academies invited to participate in the event?" The girl blinked her eyes and asked in confusion.

"Don't forget the real name of the Great Magic Festival: the Great Magic Academy Joint Exchange Conference. If we are the only ones working hard and the other academies are just enjoying it, the word 'communication' is completely meaningless, right?"

Yiwen Jielin held the teacup gracefully, and said softly, making it impossible to connect her with the hungry ghost just now.

"Then if other academies are also participants, what should the guests do?" the maid girl asked again suspiciously.

"have no idea."

This time, Evan Jielin replied simply: "This is not the scope of my responsibility. Besides, Alice, have you decided what program to host for the Great Magic Festival?"

"In my case, I should serve the guests as a maid, right?" The maid girl thought for a while. He smiled and said, "The teacher should also need us to guide the guests."

"Hey... so boring."

"Please don't participate in the Great Magic Festival with the mentality of watching your students embarrass themselves. Professor Evan Jielin, you are a teacher that the students admire."

After collecting all the dinner plates. Alice pushed the dining car away with a smile on her face: "It's almost lunch time, I'll go to the kitchen to help prepare, see you later."

Yiwen Jielin waved her hand casually to show that she knew.

After Alice pushed the dining car out of the restaurant, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. The maid girl touched her lonely face and muttered to herself, "Is it a show... No, as long as I can help the teacher... Well, that's enough."

——Edric College. Dean's Office——

"So, what are you investing so much for!" Sophia slapped the thick budget report on Xi Wei's desk.

It's been said before. Edric College had realized paperless office a long time ago, and these budget statements were only printed out by the girl to increase her deterrent power.

"In this event, I don't see any vested interests at all! Even though our academy is rich, money and magic items can't be wasted like this!"

"Oh, Sophia, have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet... No, don't change the subject!" The girl who was teased by Xi Wei tended to evolve into an active volcano.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited."

Xi Wei pushed his hand. In order to prevent himself from being scalded by the lava of the volcano, he made a 'please' gesture towards the sofa.

The girl raised her head and snorted, but finally sat down on the sofa with a look of reluctance.

Sure enough, being arrogant is easy to coax.

Xi Wei was feeling completely unreasonable in his heart, but said with a serious expression on his face: "In fact, in this activity, it is not other people who benefit the most. It is us."

"What? Judging from the budget statement, even in the best case, the loss is relatively small. Where is the benefit?"

The girl retorted impatiently.

Although as a housekeeper, Sophia did a very good job. But she is still just a girl who grew up in a magical world, and the books she reads are mainly technical. Foresight and the overall situation are still a little bit worse.

"Sophia, why do you think the Qiyao Mage Association can stand out among many mage associations, and finally become such a dominant one?"

Xi Wei did not answer the girl's question directly, but asked another seemingly unrelated question.

"Powerful high-level? The number of magicians? Or the number of books?" Xi Wei listed one option after another, and then denied them all: "Neither of them. Before the Qiyao Mage Association really stood out, it was just average in these aspects That's all. Then why do you think it has become such a behemoth?"

The girl who was attracted by Xi Wei's question lowered her head and began to think about it.

"It's a matter of credibility."

Sophia hasn't answered yet, but the ghost girl who didn't know when she appeared spoke: "Because they re-divided the level determination methods of magicians and magic schools, and led these two assessments alone, they have accumulated almost indestructible credibility in the magic world. , That’s why he jumped up and became a real giant, right?”

"That's right. When you think of the mage level assessment, that is, the Magic Jin examination, you will think of the Qiyao Mage Association. When you think of the college level, you will think of the council. No matter which one is the cornerstone of the current magic world, after getting involved with it Over time, the Qiyao Mage Association has become an official organization similar to magicians."

Xi Wei nodded in approval of Feite's answer.

"But what does this have to do with the big magic festival we are holding now?"

Sophia still couldn't understand it.

"The Great Magic Festival is just a cover." Xi Wei showed a subtle smile: "All the games and performances are just part of the cover. Our real goal is the 'stall', which is the transaction."

"I've checked. At present, there are no trading fairs for magicians in the eastern plains. This makes most magicians want to buy or sell magic items or alchemy materials, only through those auctions. And some Ninety percent of magicians will be dissatisfied with the final result... Although money is quite attractive to ordinary people, it doesn't mean much to magicians. It is linked to money, and there is no market for magic items. , In the absence of a reference, the final result will naturally deviate from expectations. If we can create a magic fair in the true sense, I am afraid it will be a rare boon for all magicians."

Xi Wei explained to the still ignorant girl: "The purpose of investing a lot of money and materials to attract people from other colleges is to create a scale at once. Once it becomes a scale, everyone will taste the sweetness. Next time, we will do something similar." Gatherings, even if you don’t invest money, can still achieve corresponding success. Accumulate credibility in gatherings. In the end, as long as the magic market is mentioned, others will naturally think of our big magic festival. Collecting money, I am afraid there will be countless magicians rushing to send money to participate."

Seeing the girl with a sluggish face, Xi Wei touched her head amusedly: "So, this is just one of the steps for Edric to become the world's number one magic academy. Do you understand?"
