The real construction of the royal city of Dast was completed about 150 years ago during the reign of Tuhavert, the king of the kingdom.

Tuhavert was one of the few kings in the history of the kingdom with a foreign surname. According to the laws of the kingdom, a surrogate king is elected from the collateral family only in the absence of a direct heir to the royal family.

At that time, the "king who died young", Fatu III, succeeded to the throne for 321 days, and died suddenly at the age of 22. The kingdom faced a situation of no direct royal heir, and after more than a year of haggling, the princes finally elected a member of the royal family, Tuhavert, a distant uncle of Fato III, as the acting king.

It is said that Tuhafert did not know that the crown of the kingdom had fallen on his head, and that he happened to celebrate his forty-third birthday at home that day. When the representatives of the princes and a group of important ministers of the state came to his house, the future virtuous prince thought that everyone had come to celebrate his birthday.

Tuhavert was one of the rare monarchs who did not love power, and reigned for a total of ten years. On his 53rd birthday, he held a grand royal birthday banquet to which dignitaries and foreign envoys from all walks of life were invited. At the ** stage of the dinner, Tuhafert unexpectedly announced his return to power, returning the throne on the spot to the sister of the previous king Fatal III, the seven-year-old son of Princess Fadel. This stunned all the guests present, and Princess Fadel was even more stimulated by the sudden good news and fainted on the spot.

This smooth transfer of power ushered in the reputation of "virtuous king" for Tuhavert. Since then, there has even been a saying that the ten years from the age of forty-three to the age of fifty-three are called the ten virtuous years.

However, some historians have pointed out that it was Tuhavert's premature transfer of power that led to Fadel's control of the government for two decades as the queen mother. Later, Phae I launched the "Three Nights of Daxter" that shocked the entire continent, causing cannibalism. That short-lived palace coup dealt a heavy blow to the royal bloodline. So much so that the kingdom has since embarked on a pattern of princes and royal families competing against each other. To this day, the kingdom has not been able to escape this embarrassing situation.

The Demon King didn't have much of a mind to look back at the history of a human kingdom. He hovered in mid-air, scanning the entire royal city. Good for a while. He found his way to the Royal Academy.

The Royal Academy is located on the southern edge of the Midtown area, where there are about four or five towering spires. It is several times higher than the surrounding houses. They are scattered along the streets, each with its own large pattern painted on its façade. For example, golden feathers, green leaves, red flames, yellow sand dunes, etc., are very impressive.

Those who are familiar with the Royal Academy know that these high-rise buildings are the research departments of the Royal Academy in various academic fields. Each pattern represents an academic field. As the departments of the Royal Academy are separated by busy streets. In order to make it easier for scholars to move around each other, a suspension bridge was built between the high-rise buildings that could be passed directly. Of course, the aerial suspension bridge is always wobbly to walk, and not every scholar is willing to choose these shortcuts with trepidation.

The Demon King flew into the sky above the Royal Academy. Look for Catherine. This world is full of the sad emotions of female mages, and it is impossible to locate them by the connection between souls.

Fortunately, the Demon King had read Catherine's memories in the past. He knew at least that the female mage usually stayed in the reading room of the academy library to do her historical research.

The Royal College Library is a low-rise building, tucked away among many tall buildings, much more than half as low as the other buildings of the Academy. Its roof resembles an upside-down boat. On the outer wall is a large encyclopedia of goblins with a black cover. Unfortunately, there is no real goblin encyclopedia in the museum, so many serious scholars of the Royal Academy have asked the dean Quisling to report this problem. Because academics cannot be faked.

So Ghisling called in the craftsman who painted the pattern, and added a subtitle in beautiful Old Elven language under the title of the Goblin Encyclopedia: "This book is a forgery." This incident was a joke in academic circles for a while. It can be said to be a standard example of academic humor.

Catherine's studio is on the second floor of the library, and as a disciple of Dean Quisling, she has a separate room for work and study. Someone once used this as evidence to secretly complain to the joint meeting of the Royal Academy, accusing Quisling of using his power to engage in ** and personal gain. At that time, there were also rumors in the academy that "Ghisling usurped public resources just to curry favor with beautiful female students".

To be honest, the heads of the various departments of the academy originally had more or less power to use the public resources in the academy. And Quislin takes care of his only female disciple, which is an open secret in the academy, but no one will make a fuss about this. After the Royal College Joint Council received a secret complaint, the scholars did not know how to deal with it for a while.

Fortunately, Griggs, the alchemist master with the most experience in his life, came up with a countermeasure in time. The Royal College Joint Council met overnight and voted to add a "provision for the allocation of academic resources" to the Royal College Specification. This provision states that complex people in academic departments at all levels have the right to allocate special public resources to academic surprise projects.

Since then, Catherine has been the head of the "Legend of the Elf King" research group, specializing in the study of "The Legend of the Elf King" related historical scholarship. However, after the annual assessment of this research group, Catherine was always the only one. Because few people in the college were interested in this subject, even if there were occasional applicants for the subject, they were never able to pass the advanced ancient elf proficiency test of the dean of the academic proficiency examiner, the dean of Quisling.

So after all these turmoil, Catherine not only rightfully owns an independent studio, but also the largest room in the library.

When the Demon King entered Catherine's workshop, he saw the mage lying on her cot. This 60-square-meter reading room has long been transformed by Catherine into a living and working residence. The first half is the work room, while the second half is the living room, which includes a single cot, dining table and meditation cushion.

The Demon King did not rush to contact Catherine, he hid in the bookshelf of the workshop and observed silently. As a workplace, the first half of this room is a real mess, with books and old paper rolls piled up everywhere. Three or five thick books and messy notebooks were spread out directly on the large workbench.
