The Dean Has Arrived

There are still three days until the opening of the Great Magic Festival.

But most of the invited houses have already come to Morag.

In any case, the Great Magic Festival held by Edric is also an exchange event between colleges and colleges. Once it involves formal exchanges between the two forces, it is naturally impossible to be as casual as ordinary people.

If you want to participate, you will naturally send a formal reply letter or simply come to visit. Even if you don't come to participate due to various concerns or reasons, out of courtesy and respect for Xi Wei, a great magician, you will notify Edric in advance.

After that, the colleges that decide to participate will officially receive an invitation letter from Edric College, which indicates the start time and basic activities of the Great Magic Festival, and activates the badges sent before—those badges Badges with the crests of the respective colleges act as identification cards for temporary staff.

Even if you don't participate in the college, those college emblems will not be recycled, and they will still be left as souvenirs. Anyway, the inactive state can only be used as decorations.

Xi Wei believed that when the Great Magic Festival started, those academies who refused to participate would know what they had missed.

"Professor Emma, ​​what kind of academy do you think Edric will be in?"

A Komodo rhinoceros cart was moving slowly on the road leading to Morag.

In the carriage, the purple-haired girl from Alchemy Academy Karaji asked one of their leading teachers.

"It's definitely a third-rate college that is trying to please the public." The middle-aged woman with a crystal monocle on the bridge of her nose, her hair neatly tied into a bun, and a serious and mature expression that reminds people of the word 'spinster' left her eyes from the cup in her hand. book. He said with a slight disdain in his tone.

If you can ignore the shallow wrinkles and stinky face on her face, she can still be regarded as a pretty beauty.

"You can't say that." The other leading teacher, who knew Emma's attitude of not being afraid of offending people at all, would definitely not say anything good, said with a wry smile: "At any rate, she is also a higher-ranking college at the same level as us. "

"The reason why they are able to rank in the upper academy is purely because of the relationship between their dean, Xi Wei Edric. Although the great magician is indeed an existence standing at the pinnacle of magicians, this does not mean that the academy he founded will How good it is. As a place to inherit the knowledge and wisdom of magicians, the Academy of Magic needs to accumulate and precipitate over time."

As she said that, the middle-aged woman named Emma took out a thick notebook from her pocket, opened it and turned to a certain page: "I also investigated this college before, and then found one thing - this college When it was established less than half a year ago, it moved from Huolian to the current Morag. I don’t think this kind of academy that doesn’t pay attention to its origin will be very good.”

"Eh? If that's the case, why did they hold this kind of event this time?"

The purple-haired girl asked again strangely.

In the huge carriage. The other students also stopped their movements and stretched their ears to listen to the speculation of Professor Emma, ​​who is known as the "Karaj's think tank".

"Didn't I already say that they're doing it like rowdy cherry baboons in a cage, just for grandstanding."

Emma pushed the monocle, and the lens flashed a white light due to the reflection, giving people a feeling full of wisdom: "Edrick just established it last year. So Xi Wei Edric personally led the team to the Participate in the academy assessment. Although there is no academy assessment this year, there are some other assessments. Edrick, who has officially become a high-ranking academy, is naturally impossible to be led by Xi Wei Edric, and the newly established Magic Academy cannot How good students might really be taught, that's why they put their thoughts in this irrelevant place, wanting to impress other colleges with Edric College. So that they can get better results in various assessments .”

"O-Is that so..."

Although I always feel that Professor Emma's categorical attitude is not very good, but after all, what he said is still reasonable, echoing common sense, and the purple-haired girl can only accept it humbly.

"I don't know how well Edric is teaching." The other leading teacher, a professor who looked a bit sloppy and uncle-like, scratched his bearded chin. He yawned: "But at least Edric has good alchemy."

Unlike the theoretical school, Emma, ​​whose mind is full of various magic alchemy theories. This sloppy professor who is obsessed with alchemy and magic creation is a thorough practical school.

He pointed to the ground outside the window: "This kind of ground is paved with materials provided by Edric. The material is unknown. Not only is it very flat and smooth, but it also has extremely high strength. Even the weight of the Komodo Rhinoceros There is no way to leave a trace on this kind of ground."

"Oh? I don't think that being able to pave a road can be regarded as a powerful magician. For this kind of road, lapis lazuli and Eromda mountain bricks can also produce the same or even better effect." Emma snorted coldly Above, put the notebook back into the pocket and continue to look at the previous book.

However, both lapis lazuli and Mount Eromuda clay bricks are very expensive. Even the Karaj School of Alchemy and Magic, which is backed by the state, does not have so much funds to use these two alchemy materials that are more useful in other places. Lay a circle around the outside.

It's just that the sloppy uncle felt that it would be too troublesome to continue arguing, so in the end he held back and didn't say anything.

"All in all, holding this kind of event for Xi Wei Edric is also an opportunity for us. Don't forget our purpose, we must start our Karaji alchemy magic in all the colleges at this great magic festival The reputation of the academy!"

There were mixed responses from inside the carriage.

Soon the Komodo rhino claw beast car turned a few turns, and finally came above Morag.

"Is this the legendary Edric College... It's incredible."

Looking through the window at the third school district of Edric, which looks like a palace of gods in the distance, the spontaneous girl sighed from the bottom of her heart.

The Karaj Alchemy and Magic Academy was built on a mountain surrounded by cliffs and surrounded by tornadoes all year round, although it also has a majestic and magnificent feeling. However, the uninterrupted thunder in the sky of Edric's third school district and the seal of the source of chaos emitting a dark green light still gave her a great shock.

After passing through the original watchtower, Karaji's group entered Morag.

The first thing that greeted them was the friendly smiles and cordial greetings from the residents of Morag.

also. There are also many tourists who are attracted to the Great Magic Festival and are waiting for the opening of the event.

"Edric's reputation is very high." The sloppy professor whistled.

At the same time, he tapped the ground with his toe calmly: "There are things buried in the ground that even I can't analyze, but generally speaking, it should be a magic node or something similar. Like Hornhag, this city itself is A huge magic formation!"

It should be said that it is worthy of being a great magician, let alone the academy, even the cities outside the academy have spent so much effort and used countless materials to set up such an impenetrable defense.

The sloppy professor can only look away and sigh.

But what he didn't know was. This thing was not set up by Xi Wei slowly according to the rules of this world, but after a dungeon was cleared, the achievement building "Confused Corridor" rewarded by the dungeon.

Because the Corridor of Confusion has a wide range of effects and consumes few materials, Xi Wei didn't care much about it after letting the leprechauns build it.

It's just that once someone invades, the corridor of confusion will immediately activate its effect, sending the intruder into endless confusion.

finished. The sloppy professor turned his head to look at Emma who was also slightly shocked.

After the latter noticed the gaze of the former, he turned his head in embarrassment: "Well, I admit that there were some mistakes in the initial prediction. Edric College is not as bad as I imagined. But what we see now is only From the outside, as far as I know, Edric College has never let outsiders enter after it moved here, mysterious and low-key. Maybe it looks amazing on the outside, but it’s a mess inside?"

"In that case, let's hurry to Edric and see what's bad inside."

The sloppy professor didn't break Emma's words, and walked towards Edric College first - the Komodo rhino claw beast vehicle was parked outside Morag. After all, there are too many academies to come to, and if all the messy means of transportation are stuffed inside, it will definitely be a mess.

So from the very beginning, Xi Wei made a decision that the transportation should stop outside Morag. The rules of being looked after by a dedicated person.

However, Morag itself has beetle-like golems with carriages on their backs that serve as buses, and some carriages that have no horses but only coachmen, but can drive freely as public transportation. It doesn’t take long to get to Edric College. . Of course, you can also choose to walk there with your feet directly...

Facts have proved that even if they are practical, the physical fitness of alchemists is indeed not as good as that of ordinary people.

The sloppy professor became exhausted after walking for a long time. On the contrary, a group of students walked very easily with the help of high interest because new things kept appearing in front of them.

The last group took the beetle bus golem, and the badges they carried allowed them to avoid paying.

When they arrived at the gate of Edric College, an orc girl in a maid outfit, with a pair of triangular animal ears on her head, and a collar and bells around her neck was already waiting there.

"Are you the distinguished guests of Karaj?" The orc maid girl asked the surprised group of people in her proficient Shumen language.

After getting the other party's confirmation, the orc girl tugged at the hem of her skirt, bowed slightly to salute, and then said, "Please follow me." Then she walked towards the interior of the academy.

"Didn't you say that Xi Wei Edric was the hero who repelled the orc invasion? Why are there orcs here?" The purple-haired girl blinked her curious eyes and muttered softly.

"Maybe they were prisoners in the war... This kind of orc, which is no different from human beings except for reproductive isolation, is still very popular among nobles. It is said that a good-looking one can be sold for... Pooh!" The sloppy professor didn't finish. He was kicked in the lower back by Emma and fell to the ground.

"Please don't indoctrinate students with strange knowledge."

The spinster professor pushed the monocle, and said with a terrifying expression that the sloppy professor could not help but associate with the abyssal demon.

"I, I know..."

The students from Karaj, on the other hand, seemed to be used to this kind of scene, showing no surprise or other expressions at all. They just followed the orc maids into the interior of Edric Academy.

Then they were horrified by what it looked like inside.

Just like the castle in the second school district, space expansion equipment has been installed in the third school district. And the degree of expansion is even more frenzied than that of the second school district, the internal space is fully twenty-seven times that of the external performance!

In addition, many luxury goods that are marked with 'prohibition of selling, trading, and giving away' can be purchased at extremely low prices, and they can definitely scare people who know a little bit of art appreciation when they are used to decorate the academy.

No wonder the students from Karaj behaved like this.

In addition, there are many creatures in Edric College that you will never see in other houses.

Such as centaurs, self-discipline golems, Kate tribe, leprechauns and flower fairies...

When a group of people passed by a snoring sapphire dragon with sparks coming out of its nose, not to mention the students, even the two professors were almost scared to pee—dammit, a living dragon! And it's still close to the twilight level! This thing can destroy a small and medium-sized magic academy with one head!

Of course, Edric wasn't the only thing that would frighten them. There are also many things that can be labeled as Edric's unique technology.

"Aisle No. 13, I'm in trouble."

For example, this thing that resembles a box elevator.

After the orc maid explained to the Kate tribe in charge of the control, the big human standing brown cat frantically pressed on the panel in front of her, and the boxes where the group of people were in slowly levitated.

Because of the transparent design, through the surrounding glass, you can clearly see other elevators that are shuttling up and down in the tunnel and stopping at each passageway on each floor.

"It's incredible. It's really amazing." The sloppy professor kept observing and stroking around the elevator (maybe it should be called the magic ladder?), and from time to time took out strange alchemy instruments for numerical measurement. If you give him a wrench, maybe this guy can directly dismantle the elevator.

He said in an enthusiastic tone that was too excited to contain himself: "The levitation technique cannot theoretically control the direction after solidification, so the manufacture of magic ships has always been a difficult problem, and the shining crystal furnace made by alchemy technology cannot be miniaturized... ...But all of them are perfectly solved here, and it is still using a technology that I can't understand... It's unbelievable! I dare to swear on my own reputation, if this technology is published, it will definitely be in the Goddess of Truth Headlines!"

"Sorry, this kind of thing is not for a servant like me to decide."

In fact, the sloppy professor is not the first person to say this, he is not even in the top ten, and the orc maid has gradually changed from being panicked at the beginning to a sophisticated and tactful response.

But even if she said so. The sloppy professor still looks reluctant to part with the elevator.

In the end, it was Emma who shot and grabbed his ear. He just dragged him off the elevator. At this time, the students of Karaj had already kept a certain distance from the sloppy professor with the expression of 'I don't know this shameful guy'.

After encountering Edric's other world-leading magical technology and repeating the above scene several times, the group finally arrived at this destination.

It was an open-air temporary portal built on a balcony.

The sea-blue light formed a lens-like light cocoon as high as three people, and through the light cocoon, you could even see the scene behind.

I have to say that when looking at thunder and lightning, cirrus rolling clouds, and gleaming light through this light cocoon, it really makes people feel like a dream.

But the orc maid showed them that this beautiful light cocoon was not a work of art.

She lifted her skirt, walked towards, and disappeared into the cocoon of light.

Emma, ​​who had thrown her contempt into the sky a long time ago, and the sloppy professor exchanged glances, and the latter stepped forward first.

As a team leader, when encountering this situation, you should lead by example.

After the sloppy professor confirmed that the light cocoon was safe, and ran back and forth with great interest, and was kicked in by Emma, ​​the rest of the people also walked into the wonderful light cocoon.

Different from the outside, if the outside is still like a dream, then the world in the light cocoon is simply a dream world.

Wonderful fluorescent plants, animals that are not afraid of humans, the vast grassland, the sky with drifting colors, and the shocking building not far away that seems to be a city carved out of a mountain...

This is Edric's true strength, and this is the academy created by one of the top three human beings!

"Welcome to Edric's Great Magic Festival... although it hasn't opened yet."

Only at this time did the orc maid make a sound to wake them up from their astonishment. At some point, the orc maid girl also had a sense of honor for being a member of Edric College. With a charming smile, he said: "Please continue to follow me now, and I will take you to the neighborhood that belongs to you. But because you came late, I'm afraid you can only get half of the street."

"For food, you can order and we will deliver it. If you want to leave this space, you only need to go back from here."

"On the third floor of the academy, the No. 14 passage on the second floor is forbidden to enter. Please pay attention to this. In addition, please respect your identities and don't make misleading actions."

"If you have any dissatisfaction with this, you can bring it up to us. Of course, you can also go to the temporary dean's office in the city center and have a personal interview with the dean Xi Wei Edric. Of course, this requires an appointment. "

"The above. Finally, I wish you a happy life during this time."

The girl lifted the hem of her skirt, and made another elegant lady's gift.
