"Enter!"

An old but loud voice rang out in the room.

"Squeak"

After receiving a response, Howard, the head of the alchemy department, pushed the door in.

It was a more spacious and quaint room than his office, and an old man was sitting behind a dark black wooden desk, and on the wall behind the old man hung an oil painting of Greac College.

The oil painting is huge, occupying most of the wall. It's just that the Greyac Academy in the painting looks very old, and the scale is much smaller than the current Greyac Academy, as if it has not been fully developed.

Hanging this painting in such an important place may be for future generations to see or to remember.

"Dean!" Howard, the head of the alchemy department, nodded slightly towards the old man sitting there.

This old man, dressed in a red mage robe, who looked to be in his late sixties, was the current dean of Graac Academy, Lakewaller.

"Oh, it's Howard! Sit. Dean Lekwahler said, pointing to a chair in front of his desk.

"What's the matter?" asked Dean Lekwal in a slow voice after Howard, the head of the alchemy department, sat down.

"Dean, Don Gideni of the Alchemy Department has been dismissed as you ordered. Howard said with a slightly heavy expression.

"Oh... That's right... Okay, I got it. When Dean Leckwaler heard the news, his expression did not fluctuate much, and he nodded slightly.

Seeing that the dean didn't say much, Howard, the head of the department, who felt that he couldn't calm down, stood up and said with a heavy face: "Dean, can't you think of other ways? Do you have to dismiss him? He has dedicated his life to the Gray Academy, isn't it too cruel for us to do this, after all, he is already old, and he doesn't have many years to live compared to us soul-level existences." ”

The attitude of the head of the department, Howard, made Dean Lakewaller frown slightly, "Howard, he is the mentor of your alchemy department, and you have watched him step by step, you should know his character, even if I transfer him from the position of lecturer, he will not give up, and will still promote his theory in our academy." ”

"You don't know how ridiculous that theory is, and how much reputational damage it will bring to our Academy? I know you can't bear it, and you cherish his talent, but these are far from being comparable to the reputation of our Gray Academy. You must know that the appearance of Karle has made our Greak Academy a laughing stock for thousands of years, and now if there is another Don Gidney, then the 10,000-year-old reputation of my Greak Academy will be branded with an indelible stain again, and I, as the dean of the Greac Academy, must not let this happen again. Dean Leckwaller exclaimed.

"But Dean, although Don Gideney's theory sounds ridiculous, it is not impossible to achieve it! Besides, he has promised himself that he will not become the next Carlle, and we can let him experiment on his own, and not let him teach his students anymore, so that he will not have a chance to promote his theory, and I think he will be willing. There's no need to fire him. ”

Although Howard, the head of the department, was resolute when he talked to Don Gidney, he still did not forget to fight for Don Gideni when he came to the dean, Leckwaler.

How can you be sure that he will not be the next Carl Le, when Karl Le started to study and practice, the direction was not so extreme, and the academy did not stop him in time for the sake of opening up the teaching concept and exploring the revival of alchemy. But then what happened? He was crazy, and he had to go on. What happened in the end? Just because of him, our alchemy department of Greak Academy has been ridiculed for thousands of years, and you, as the head of the alchemy department, are you not ashamed to speak for such a person now? If you are really guessed, you yourself will become a laughing stock. Howard's favoritism made Dean Lakewahler stand up dissatisfied.

"Anyway, alchemy has also undergone thirty thousand years of development after its decline, and our Gray Academy's teaching attainments in alchemy are already the top in the Agra Continent, and it doesn't make much difference whether his theory is right or wrong. As long as he doesn't make mistakes during his time at our Greak Academy, and doesn't make the Greac Academy a laughing stock again. Dean Lakewaller said aloud.

Dean Lakewaler's words made Howard unable to speak. After all, compared to a small fifth-level alchemy master, the 10,000-year reputation of the Greyac Academy was more important. Even if he can't bear to protect him, it won't help. As the dean, Lekvaler would never take such a risk for the sake of a small fifth-level alchemy master. Moreover, the dean's words were not wrong, and he could already feel his determination when talking to Don Gideni, and he could not rule out the possibility that Don Gideni would become the next Karle. And, in his opinion, the possibility is still very high.

It's just that I still feel a little unbearable in my heart. On the surface, Howard, who looks nearly seventy years old, is actually two hundred years old now, and his seventy-year-old appearance is caused by his fixed appearance when he broke through the Holy Order.

When a human powerhouse breaks through the Holy Rank, his face will be fixed at the second of the breakthrough, so the sooner they break through the Holy Rank, the younger they will look, even if their actual age is already one or two hundred years old, they can't see it at all. This can be regarded as a small benefit for the powerhouses of the Holy Rank.

Don Gideni was a student of Howard, the head of the department, and watched him grow up step by step. However, as a great alchemist, Howard also met Tang Gidney, who was already a third-level alchemist, by chance of evaluating the class. When he discovered Don Gideney, Howard was quite happy and began to teach him seriously. However, I didn't want Tang Gideni to practice alchemy and enchantment at the same time, and the alchemy pharmacist, alchemy chef, and alchemy material processing of the alchemy department all practiced. Such greed made Howard feel a little hated that iron could not be made of steel, and persuaded him to give up other things and specialize in one subject, so that it would be possible to achieve an achievement like him. But Don Gideni was young and vigorous at the time, and thought he could learn all these things. It is also possible to use this as a comparison to find out the mystery of why alchemy and magic cannot be revived.

It's a pity that in the end, he only cultivated both alchemy and enchantment to the level of the fifth level, which is still far from the goal he set at that time. Moreover, because too much time was wasted on this, the progress of magic cultivation was slow, especially after the age of forty, the potential was almost exhausted, and it was difficult to advance at the fifth level.

was originally a genius boy who was expected to achieve the Holy Rank, but he wasted his talent because of greed and missed it. Even Howard, who has seen countless geniuses, is a pity when he thinks about it now, and he has to lament it.

Seeing Howard, who couldn't bear to look at him but couldn't speak, Dean Lakewaller said slowly, "Okay! That's it, you go back first!"

"Howard retires!"

The wordless head of the alchemy department, Howard, said to the dean who was sitting in the chair and walked out slowly.

With a sigh.

But he has done his best.
