The Dean Has Arrived

"Wow~" While exclaiming meaninglessly, Qiu Ke, who was wearing a knitted hat and a red and black short skirt with grass leaves on it, opened her eyes wide and looked at the lively scene around her: "It's unbelievable." , is this the senior's academy?"

"This is just a peripheral city, the real academy is that one."

Sitting on the girl's shoulders, wearing a pure black princess dress, the puppet with long snow-white hair and golden dragon eyes pointed to the magnificent and huge castle building in front of it.

Because on the journey of looking for foreign teachers and students, he heard rumors that Edric College was about to hold a magic festival, so Qiu Ke traveled a long distance and desperately arrived the day before the opening. Morag.

Although it was said that Genius was the day when the Great Magic Festival officially opened, many people had poured into Morag City. There were magicians who were interested in the Great Magic Festival itself, and some businessmen who saw the business opportunities in it. They are ordinary people who just come to watch the excitement.

Of course, apart from the residents of several nearby cities, those who could come to Morag were at least the families of the rich.

After Xi Wei sealed off the source of the plague and made the residents of Morag all recover from the plague, many people left the city, which once made the city look a bit empty.

And Xi Wei also seized this opportunity, and simply re-planned the layout of Morag. With the help of the construction techniques of the leprechauns, the whole city exudes a distinctive modern atmosphere.

The influx of people in the past few days made his plan initially show results.

The wide road will never be congested; the goods are complete. The bustling commercial streets make people linger and forget to return; the secluded parks allow people to take a break and refresh their spirits.

Not only that. Because of the Great Magic Festival, even the original residents of Morag received the tasks assigned by Xi Wei to run some small but interesting temporary stalls, such as goldfish fishing, set Circle it, shoot it and that sort of thing.

Since the basic material costs are paid for by Edric's caravan, when many residents count their income at night, they will find that their income in the past few days has far exceeded their hard work in the past few days...

In addition to ordinary humans, Xi Wei specially hired many burly piggies through the academy system. This kind of foodie race that was once a magical creature has long been on the verge of extinction. Apart from the magic-like ability that can reduce their sense of existence, they have almost no means of self-protection. He is also a proper five-star chef in Tianchao.

Among the legends featuring them, nine out of ten are related to food. The last one is related to what to drink...

All in all, before the Edric College was opened to the public, and when foreign tourists could not taste the foul 'delicious +2' dishes, the open-air snack stalls of the Pigs were used to satisfy people's appetites.

"This thing called fried noodles costs 8 coppers. It's so expensive...but it's delicious..."

Qiu, who was tired of eating all kinds of wild vegetables in the wild, couldn't help holding his face when he seldom ate warm snacks. Show a happy expression.

However, although the snacks are good, the portions are not big. A plate of fried noodles is enough for ordinary young people to eat in two or three bites. Square produced).

"Woo. Why did I finish eating so quickly... The grilled meatballs over there also look delicious, and that sandwich-like thing over there..."

"Let me tell you. If you continue to eat Qiu Ke, you will only be able to eat wild vegetables for the next month?"

Sitting on her shoulder, the puppet girl with dead fish eyes rolled over sighed helplessly, and warned the girl.

"I don't mind!" Qiu Ke, with the sauce on his mouth, held up a fork, ignoring the attention of the tourists around him, and said loudly with a cheerful face.

"But I don't mind!" The puppet girl grabbed Qiu Ke's temples: "I am also a dragon! Even compared to a giant dragon, I am a similar existence. I eat wild vegetables all day long, so you should think about me. feeling!"

"It hurts—! I, I know, I really know!"

Qiu Ke could only beg for mercy tearfully.

"Do you really understand?" The puppet girl let go of her temples and stroked her bangs: "As my master, I also hope that you will be smarter..."

"Al, you must want to eat too, right? If I said earlier, it doesn't matter if I share it with you."

"That's not the problem!"

"Ah, the smell of scones~"

"Stop it! That's the food expenses for the next three days!"

In the end, the puppeteer girl was stopped by her own puppet, and she couldn't get her wish.

Speaking of which, I always feel that the positions of the master and the servant are reversed...

Just when Qiu Ke came to the central square of Morag unsteadily with a sad face, a figure appeared in front of her.

"Qiu Ke?" Xi Wei looked at the girl in front of him who looked like a child who had been robbed of her favorite toy, and even walked with a feeling of "I'm very unhappy", and called out with some uncertainty.

"Wow, senior."

The startled girl raised her face and saw Xi Wei's familiar look: "Why are you here?"

"Because this is also part of my academy. I'm patrolling the city right now to see if there's anything wrong."

Xi Wei, who escaped from the dean's room because he wanted to be lazy, smiled and said solemnly: "As the organizer of the Great Magic Festival, I have to be responsible for the safety of all tourists."

"As expected of a senior!" The girl who was completely fooled looked forward to it.

"Would you like to visit Morag with me?"

Anyway, he felt that there was nothing he could do if he sneaked out, so Xi Wei took advantage of the opportunity and extended an invitation to the girl.

"Huh? No need, look at me clumsy, what if I delay your patrol?" The girl blushed and shook her hands and refused.

As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach started growling.

"What an embarrassment this is..." The black and white doll girl who had been pretending to be an ordinary doll because she wasn't used to other people's gaze just now patted her forehead: "Why did Eve find this guy as a partner in the first place. "

"Ahaha. Don't say that, Qiu Ke must have advantages."

Xi Wei touched Qiu Ke's head.

"Yes, yes. He must have good points too!" Qiu Ke's cheeks bulged like stuffed buns, and she had an awkward fight with her doll: "Senior, tell Al about his good points! "

Xi Wei's smile froze on his face.

After a while of silence as if he had pressed the pause button, he showed a gentle smile again, turned around and looked away from the girl: "Qiu Ke, how about I treat you to scones?"

"What happened to the mysterious silence just now?! Why didn't senior dare to look at me?! Is this a new bullying method?!"

The puppeteer girl burst into tears.

"Then do you want scones?" Xi Wei asked with a wry smile.

"I want to eat!" The puppeteer girl immediately replied energetically.

The black and white puppet sighed deeply at the performance of its master.

Qiu is a typical cheerful, outgoing and sunny girl. A scone filled with beef can make her forget all her troubles.

While munching on the scones happily, the girl took the time to ask Xi Wei, "Why didn't the shopkeeper take your money?"

"Because the residents of Morag all recognize me. And most of the booths have been sponsored by the chamber of commerce of our college to a certain extent." Xi Wei helped her wipe the sauce from the corner of her mouth, and then answered her: "But I I have already told them to keep quiet even if they see me, I don’t want to come out and be surrounded by three layers of people.”

Considering that Xi Wei is the host of the Great Magic Festival, the fastest-advancing magician in history, and the founder of Edric, if his identity is revealed in this kind of place, everyone will definitely be surrounded by strong crowds.

Due to the majesty of the great magician. There will definitely not be a scene of three floors inside and three floors outside, but it will not be like now, where you can go shopping leisurely.

"So, as long as I'm with you, can I eat all the snacks for free?" Qiu Ke's eyes lit up.

"In theory, it is true." Xi Wei replied casually.

"Senior, please be sure to visit Morag with me!" The girl immediately held Xi Wei's hand and said sincerely.

Unlike the black and white puppet whose face was getting uglier, Xi Wei was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed involuntarily.

Qiu Ke is probably the only one in this world who dares to treat the great magician as a free meal ticket.

But honestly. Not a bad feeling.

——Edric College. Dean's Office——

"That guy ran away again!"

Sophia broke the neck of the dummy left by Xi Wei to cover people's ears and threw it aside, and said through gritted teeth.

"Obviously there are so many documents to be processed!"

"I think that's why he ran away..."

Feite looked at the file pop-up window that almost filled most of the dean's office. With a wry smile.

This is just an information version. If all of them were replaced with paper media, I am afraid that the material report of the document alone would make Xi Wei swim in the dean's office...

"But isn't he the one who said he was going to hold an exchange event at the Great Magic Academy! This kind of attitude of running away when you're done halfway is really irritating!"

The red-haired girl said angrily: "If you want to do it, then be more serious!"

That killing intent made the elk-nosed tapir on the wall tremble, and he dared not even say a word.

"Anyway, anyway, let's work together."

Facing Sophia, who was already bursting with anger and was about to transform into the second stage, Fate could only try his best to squeeze out a smile and comforted him.

"It's the only way to go now." Sophia could only deal with the documents with a gloomy face in the end.

It's just that that kind of anger is still permeating the surroundings. If the resentment and anger can be concreted, I'm afraid the entire third school district will be burned by her anger now.

"When he comes back, I must let him know that some things in this world are better left undone."

It's so scary, Xi Wei, please ask for blessings...Fate, who was thinking so silently in his heart, could only tremble while helping to process the massive documents with tears in his eyes.

——Morag Inner City——

"Ah Choo!"

Xi Wei sneezed and wiped his nose. He muttered in confusion: "Strange, is someone cursing me?"

the other side. Qiu Ke hit ten flying saucers in the dynamic shooting booth and won a reward.

"Senior, what is this?" She ran to Xi Wei and handed the reward to Xi Wei.

It was a round product a bit like the gold medal of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, except that what was embedded inside was not jade, but fragments of elemental crystals.

"This is the 'currency' of the Great Magic Festival."

Xi Wei explained to her: "The Great Magic Festival is held in the demiplane, and most of the transactions inside involve magic items and magic materials. Ordinary currencies cannot be used to measure their value well. So tomorrow we will There will be a dedicated currency. Of course, it doesn’t matter if the participants want to trade in normal currency.”

"Huh? So, is this something that is used to replace money?" The girl's eyes widened. "But, this kind of crystal with the breath of pure magical elements is itself a very precious alchemy material, right?"

"It is precisely because of its preciousness that it can be used to reflect the value of magic items. The denomination of yours is actually quite large. In short, you should put it away first."

Xi Wei touched the girl's head and said with a smile.

In fact, one of the biggest reasons why he spent so much money and energy to create a festive atmosphere for Morag was to promote his own magic currency.

This currency can be obtained through the game rewards at the booth and some other methods, and he will use some activities to sprinkle a large amount of this currency at the opening tomorrow.

Afterwards, through the unified pricing of magic items in their colleges, the conditions for controlling the price stability of goods in the market can be achieved. Thus. This currency is bound to gain a certain degree of trust.

Then, as long as it is gradually promoted on weekdays, every time a large number of magic fairs are launched, sooner or later, this currency will become the mainstream of the magic world.

If you don't understand what this means, you can refer to the relationship between the United States and the US dollar...

Although from a temporary point of view, Edric has lost a lot. But not to mention the complete elemental crystals produced in batches now, this currency will definitely bring him unexpected benefits in the future.

certainly. Now this is still in the planning stage, and its success is uncertain. After all, Xi Wei didn't study economics, God knows what will happen, so he hasn't even told Sophia about this, only Fei Te knows a little bit .

Because of the exquisite shape and the pure elemental atmosphere, Qiu Ke liked it very much, so she didn't refuse, and put the coin in her small leather bag.

"Speaking of which, senior, haven't you given up puppet magic yet?" Qiu Ke raised her head and said to Xi Wei.

"What?" Xi Wei didn't react for a moment.

"Those..." The girl pointed to the statues on the side of the road, as well as the stone carvings and statues on the houses, as well as the row upon row of eave statues on the roof: "Aren't they all golems?"

"You actually saw it." Xi Wei smiled.

In fact, even he himself was surprised that the golem workshop, which had been established for less than half a year, was fully powered, and it produced so many golems for him... The price was that the three resources of stone, alchemy materials and gems were all consumed. Quite a few, almost not enough to build that new wonder.

However, after Xi Wei set up the entire Morag as a magic field, no matter where the golem was activated, it could obtain a continuous supply of magic power, these things that could only be used as decorations suddenly had their own meaning of existence.

The intelligence network formed by them covered almost every inch of Morag's land. As long as Xi Wei wanted to, no matter where Morag was, a dozen golems of different strengths could jump out at once.

Whoever commits crimes in Morag will be immediately arrested by the golems who descended from heaven.

You must know that there has been a lot of ups and downs recently. A big nobleman revolted to overthrow the tyrant king and won the throne of the Heavy Rain Revolution. The final result was determined by three large golems. Although Xi Wei's golems are not as good as those used in battle, even if he is a great magician, under the fearless attacks and delays of the city full of golems, no matter how bad he is, he can drag him until Xi Wei catches up. arrive.

"If you have any questions about puppet magic, you can ask me!" The girl puffed up her chest, which can only be compared with Tio, and said proudly: "Only in puppet magic, I am not inferior to other Human confidence. Right, Al?"

The black and white puppet did not answer.

"Stop teasing me, Al."

The girl was about to hug the black and white doll from her shoulders, but found that the other's golden dragon eyes were staring in another direction.

She and Xi Wei looked in that direction together, and there was a maid girl who was carrying a basket and seemed to be shopping for something.

Beside the maid girl was a doll in a red dress with gorgeous blond hair.

"really red……"

The black-and-white puppet, or the puppet representing the dragon "El Batleyn" was fascinated by looking at his former sister, the puppet "True Red" representing human beings.

"When the teacher handed her over to me, Zhenhong was already like that."

Xi Wei said to the black and white puppet.

Without his own consciousness, he can only act through string magic and incomplete alchemy life energy. This is what happened to the dolls of the original Eight Clans after they were robbed of their god parts.

"Do you know which guy did it?" Al looked at Xi Wei and asked in a haggard voice.

"We haven't found out yet. But now 'Floris' is collecting god parts." Xi Wei told the information he had obtained to the black and white doll girl: "But I think if you find that guy, don't act rashly. Well, if possible, you can notify me to help."

"Sorry, but this is our own business, so there is no need to bother you." Al shook his head: "Qiu Ke, I'm tired."

"Ah? Oh!" Qiu Ke, who was called out suddenly, immediately came to his senses, took out the box behind him and opened it, allowing the black and white doll to slip in.

Eight 'persons'?

Xi Wei looked at the suitcase and shook his head slightly.
