"Two distinguished guests, Your Excellency the Chairman is ready, please follow me. ”

It was the wind elemental in the form of another person who floated in front of the Wind Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence, bowing politely to the two of them. At this time, the two of them were standing in Angelo's room, and Angelo stood aside with a pale face.

"Since there is no trace of the person you mentioned here, let's report the matter to the chairman. The vast majority of the academy is under arcane surveillance, and it certainly knows better than we do here, and the director isn't a bad guy. ”

Feng Yinqiu said to Angelo on the side. They had only arrived with Angelo not long ago, but unfortunately they had been delayed at the library for too long, and when they arrived here, the brother Angelo had said was gone.

"Well, this guy also sorted out this place once when he left, and basically cleared all the traces that could be left behind. The Sword of Benevolence also stood up from its half-crouch and clapped its hands. "If your brother doesn't have the habit of cleaning before leaving, then it's almost certain that this guy isn't your brother anymore. ”

“...... What went wrong... Did I accidentally expose it? We might just come a little sooner. Angelo's face was as pale as the freshly painted walls in the bathroom, and he stared at the ground nervously biting his fingernails, even if he didn't even notice the slightest trace of blood on his fingers.

Because of the noise in the library before, he was directly thrown into a prison with a folded space by the old mage in charge of management using the authority of the guard sequence, and as a result, Feng Yinqiu was explaining for a while before being released, and it was already an hour after he brought Feng Yinqiu and the two of them over.

"If this is really a scheming pretender, and he will flee immediately if he senses the slightest mistake, probably when you faced him, you showed a flaw in your demeanor, and even if we came immediately, we would not be able to catch it. Feng Yinqiu comforted Angelo by the side, and then turned to the wind element and said, "This student's brother is suspected of missing from your academy, and he has been replaced by someone of unknown origin, do you have any countermeasures?"

"Unfortunately, this kind of issue is beyond my purview, and perhaps you should report it to the Academy. The wind elemental bowed. "The Chairman is waiting for you two and has allowed me to lead the way for both of you. ”

Feng Yinqiu pointed at Angelo: "Let this young man go with him, I think his affairs should be reported to the chairman." ”

The wind elemental glanced at Angelo, and nodded as if after confirming his identity: "He is a student of the academy, of course he is qualified to meet the chairman, so please come with me." ”

A suspended frisbee floated in front of the library, and the wind elemental led them forward, and the frisbee flew rapidly into the distance. Although the speed of this frisbee was obviously extremely fast, the three of them who were standing on it did not feel any discomfort, not only did they not have the oncoming wind, but they could hardly even feel the inertia of movement, which was obviously the effect of the arcane.

"This is by far the most resilient magical energy vehicle, and it is fundamentally different from the usual arcane flying equipment, which relies on directly changing the laws of the earth elements, and also uses high-level force field arcane to maintain comfort. During the Imperial Age, similar magical devices were found throughout Oroyosta, but with the fall of the city, it was reduced to waste after losing the support of the arcane sequence, and now only a few can be found left, which have been modified and maintained with the academy's arcane sequence. Of course, it can only be in the name of scholarship, otherwise the temple will come to protest...... Ah, two of you, please see, there is a huge glowing building in front of it, which is a force field research laboratory, and judging from the light and fluctuations emitted, it should be analyzing a nine-ring force field arcane inside. Now this is a rare academic event, and it must be a few professors gathering. In fact, the arcane that is left behind now is really only at the basic level of the Imperial Age......"

The wind element also flew close to the side, and by the way, he introduced the vehicle under his feet and the scenery along the way, and his tone was relaxed and witty, and he was really a very competent tour guide and guide, looking completely like a living person. It's just that the matter of Angelo's brothers is still unresolved, and Feng Yinqiu's interest is not high, and Angelo's face is so gloomy that he seems to be dripping water.

Fortunately, the speed of this frisbee was extremely fast, and ten minutes later, I saw a tall mage tower standing in front of me, and the wind element also pointed to the mage tower and said, "This is it, the mage tower of His Excellency Chairman Bastinmagnus." ”

Compared to the other professors' labs of different shapes, weird or grandiose along the way, this mage tower seemed a little unremarkable, with no arcane lights swirling, no arcane guards around, and even a little old.

The frisbee rushed directly towards the mage tower, and in the blink of an eye, it was only a few dozen meters away from the mage tower, and the frisbee did not slow down in the slightest, and just slammed into the mage tower. According to the speed of this frisbee faster than the crossbow arrow, this time it seems to be smashed together with the people on the dribble, Feng Yinqiu and the Sword of Benevolence both couldn't help frowning and making a defensive gesture, even Angelo, who had been in a haunted spirit, also changed his face greatly, and he turned around and wanted to jump off the frisbee, but unfortunately this frisbee seemed to have a protective force field around it, and he was bounced back just now.

With a snort, the fast-flying frisbee carried the three people above without hindrance, like a phantom into the outer wall of the mage tower, and then completely disappeared from the academy.

However, in the field of vision of the three people above, they only passed through a phantomous barrier, and what appeared in front of them was a wonderful sight.

The sky was full of stars, but there was another round of stars that did not know whether it was the sun or the moon exuding a misty light, and several stars crisscrossed the sky, but the background of all this was infinite and deep black, and it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night.

As for everything on the ground, it was not the scene of the academy earlier, the solid and flat ground like a whole rock stretched beyond the curved horizon, and there was not the slightest vegetation or other vegetation on it, only a majestic mage tower stood quietly there not far away.

"Oh? this is ...... It's a big deal. Feng Yinqiu was also shocked by the scene in front of him. He could clearly feel it just now, the mage tower in the academy was not a virtual illusion, but a real thing, but the space was distorted at the moment they touched, teleporting them to this strange place inside the mage tower.

“...... It's not that exaggerated. This should be a small fragment in the astral plane, not fundamentally different from the place where the Inclave fool took us last time. The Sword of Benevolence, however, was much more determined, and looked up and down, left and right, especially at the horizon that was visibly bent in the distance. "But this fragment is much smaller, just a small planet hundreds of miles in diameter. That big-faced, do you students know that your chairman's mage tower is actually like this?"

Angelo was also looking around in amazement, shaking his head like a rattle when he heard the words: "I don't know, I haven't heard of it." We all knew the location of the Chairman's Mage Tower in the Academy, but we didn't know it would be like this when we came in. ”

"Then how can we go back by ourselves?" Feng Yinqiu's face changed. He still remembered the last experience, the two of them were not real mages, and they didn't know much about these high-level knowledge involving the Euro Realm and the Astral Realm, and they really had the strength to deal with such a situation and didn't know how to use it.

"No way. If you accidentally come in, it's a man-made knife. "The sword of benevolence spreads its hands. "It should be in that academy, and next to the mage tower outside, that people who are close can easily pull people into here, which can only be blamed on our own carelessness. But then again, when you step into that academy, you're actually already in someone else's lair, and the arcane sequence is not something that the two of us can compete with, and there's no way to do it. It seems that the two of us will have to learn this knowledge in the future. ”

"That's true. Feng Yinqiu nodded. "Fortunately, this chairman has no ill will towards us, so ......"

"Haha, what kind of discouragement is this Brother Feng. Even if there is malice, what is it?" laughed the Sword of Love. "It's a big deal to use your Five Elements Divine Light to brush this place back and forth hundreds of times, no matter who wants to run such a place, the energy and resources spent will definitely be much more valuable than the two of us. ”

As soon as he entered this world, the wind elemental servant disappeared, and the frisbee flew towards the majestic mage tower in front of him by inertia. As the distance gradually approached, they could see the real difference between this mage tower and those in the outer academy, this mage tower was a full four or five hundred meters high, like a small and sharp mountain, although there was nothing too surprising from the appearance of the shape, and there were no flashing elemental fluctuations and arcane aura, but the dense and complex patterns like spider silk on it clearly had a little mottled over the years, giving this mage tower a sense of vicissitudes and atmosphere that was completely different from the buildings in other academies.

Just when they were only a hundred meters away from the Mage Tower, the light flashed in front of the Mage Tower, and an old man appeared in mid-air and stood in the air, smiling at the two people who were flying quickly: "Two Western friends, welcome to my Mage Tower, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for a long time." I am Bastin-Magnus, the director of the Arcane Academy. ”

As soon as his words fell, the fast-flying frisbee flew right in front of him and stopped, and everything seemed just right, as if it was all under the control of the old man.

Different from the hurried glances in the theater before, Feng Yinqiu only had the opportunity to take a closer look at this old man who claimed to be the first arcanist of Euro, at first glance this old man did not seem to be anything unusual, except for the unique and powerful condensed spiritual power displayed by the archmage realm, his appearance and temperament were very ordinary, even honest, his beard and eyebrows were very thick, almost covering his facial features. If you change the robes of the sound into tattered pullovers, and then rein in the spiritual power of the archmage, you will not attract attention by sitting by the garbage heap on any street corner for a whole day.

Of course, in fact, the strength and power that this old man possessed was definitely one of the peaks of the continent, and nothing else was clear, but this fragmented world that seemed to be completely controlled was probably unique. Moreover, the chairman specially led the two of them into this world that even the students of the academy did not know, and I don't know if there was any hostility, at least it was to show strength.

"Hello, Your Excellency. I am the chief of staff of the envoys of the Qianqian Empire, and this is my friend, the invincible sword of benevolence. Feng Yinqiu bowed without being arrogant or humble, and then pointed to Angelo behind him. "This is your student of the Arcane Academy, Angelo Roynala Rothschild, who came with us from the West Coast and was supposed to be our guide on a temporary basis, but something unexpected happened that needs to be reported to you. ”

"Yes, I received some news from the Arcane Servants. The Chairman nodded, then turned and flew towards the Mage Tower. "Please come in and tell us more about the rest. ”

The huge mage tower was divided into countless large and small rooms, and the chairman flew them to a hall on the ground floor that seemed to be specially used to receive guests, a large and elegant table had already been prepared with tea and pastries, this hall was so wide that it could almost be regarded as an auditorium, and all the decorations and furniture were also extremely gorgeous, probably because of the arcane circle, all of them were clean and spotless, but the whole seemed to have an indescribable sense of old loneliness and desertion.

After a second look, Feng Yinqiu found that this might not be the personal mage tower of His Excellency the Chairman, because the design of some tables, chairs and rooms should be a place for at least dozens of people to meet and discuss, and now there are only a few of them in it, so it seems a little deserted.

"This was originally one of Dawn's Auxiliary Mage Towers. The chairman sat in a wide chair and seemed to know how they felt, and explained with a smile. "Dawn is the first dimensional fortress built by the Empire, which is what you usually call the Floating City. Dawn means the dawn of the arcane, but unfortunately it was completely destroyed in the war, and I was lucky enough to capture this mage tower with a few injured archmages, and opened the signpost of this starry small world in the last period of time before the great turmoil of the magic web, and placed the mage tower inside. By the way, this starry world was also one of the forward bases that the empire was developing at that time, but unfortunately it can only be used as the foundation to carry this mage tower now. ”

Feng Yinqiu couldn't help but be slightly moved when he heard this, he had heard how magical and incredible the various methods of the Arcane Empire were before, but he had never felt it intuitively, and now he can finally see a thing or two of the leopard in the tube, needless to say, this small world of stars is amazing enough. On the other side, Angelo opened his eyes wide and his mouth wide, as if he had forgotten about his brother for a while, and probably never thought that he would be able to sit in the former imperial heritage in his life.

The chairman didn't seem to show off much about this, and put it aside as if he was casually talking about some homely things, looked at Angelo and said, "Okay." Let's talk about Rothschild, my Arcane Servant had only reported a crime involving a missing person. ”

"Ah, that's it, Your Excellency......" Angelo settled down before he began to talk about him. “... I went to the West Coast with Mr. Howard some time ago, and then came back with the Imperial Legations, and this time I just returned to the academy and saw my brother ......"

After listening to Angelo's story, the director's brow, which was almost completely covered by his eyes, furrowed: "You didn't use probing arcane, but just judged that it wasn't your brother based on the sensations of your body? Are you sure this can't be your delusion? Is there any solid evidence?"

"No, absolutely not. And my brother was actually reading a textbook, not a book of poetry or a play! I had never seen anything before! and I had a distinct sense that he was wary of me!" Angelo quickly explained aloud. "The proof is that he was gone when I took Mr. Wind and the others, and all traces of the room were clear! I beg you to look at the Academy's reconnaissance sequence to see where he went. ”

The chairman didn't speak again, he stretched out his hand and a picture appeared in the air not far away, showing Angelo and his brother's room, and Angelo had just walked in, and his brother dropped his book and sat up from the bed with a stunned face. The Academy's reconnaissance sequences were able to monitor most of the Academy's locations and record the scene, which made most students complain, but it seemed to be very necessary at the moment.

The screen moves rapidly, and it can be seen that after Angelo left, his brother Jira seemed to be stunned for a moment, then quickly packed up the things in the room, and then used a few cleaning arcane skills before leaving. The scene then cuts to the outside, where Gila can be seen walking briskly towards the outside of the academy, without pausing or making contact with anyone along the way.

"It seems so, it's not what a normal student should do. Even I could see that some of his movements were well trained. The chairman's eyebrows were raised, apparently discovering something that interested him as well. "But the Academy's monitoring arcane shows that he is not abnormal, his vital signs and mental fluctuations are the same as your brother's recorded by the Academy, this is a very targeted disguise, at least a specialized master-level person, and a very good understanding of the Academy's monitoring system......"

As he spoke, the speeding up scene above did not stop, and the Gila could be seen walking straight towards Third Avenue after walking out of the academy, and then finding a small door behind a large cabaret theater, and disappearing when he walked in.

“... Well, it's an experienced and premeditated crime. The Academy's reconnaissance sequence can cover the entire Oroyosta, but without using the highest authority, we can't scout those places that are protected by protective circles, such as the residences of some large families, some entertainment venues, etc. ”

The chairman shook his head, and then turned to Angelo: "Tell me what you think, Rothschild, who do you think this person disguised as your brother is?

"This ...... I don't know...... Can't guess who it is at all. Angelo stared at a pair of blank bull's eyes and shook her head. "We have never offended anyone, nor are we the children of a big family......"

"It seems so...... "The chairman glanced at another smaller picture that appeared in front of him, thought about it again, and said. "So have you experienced anything strange lately?"

"My brother shouldn't have anything, I went to the West Coast a few months ago with Mr. Dundell and a few classmates, and it turned out to be ......"

"Hmm, so you actually experienced that god sacrifice?" the chairman paused, as if he had thought of something. “...... It seems like you're not the only one who has experienced it, right?

"There are two other classmates, but they went back to the academy first, but unfortunately they died some time ago because of mental trauma. ”

"What, they've all passed away?" the beard and eyebrows on the chairman's face were almost wrinkled together. Several more images appeared in front of him, and they seemed to be listening to something, and after a long time he sighed softly. "Well, I see......"

Turning his head, the chairman said to Angelo, who was staring at him, "I probably have some clues, but I still need to investigate and verify." I'll give you an answer to this as soon as possible, so go back now, and I'll assign a few Arcane Guards to protect you for the time being. Also, don't let other superfluous people know about this matter, otherwise there may be more trouble. ”

"So my brother ......"

Angelo also wanted to ask, but with a wave of the chairman's hand, his figure disappeared directly, apparently being teleported back to the academy.

"What the hell is going on?" Feng Yinqiu couldn't help but ask.

“... It's just a guess, but probably not wrong. The chairman of the board of directors let out a long sigh and looked at the two of them, especially the Sword of Benevolence. "Although I have known about the West Coast god sacrifice for a long time, and there have been many seminars in the academy for this purpose, I really didn't expect anyone to think otherwise. Your Excellency the Sword of Benevolence, perhaps you should be careful. ”

"What do you mean?" the Sword of Benevolence scoffed. "Does the chairman mean that he dares to attack my idea of that big-faced kid who is plotting against me?"

"Yes. There's a good chance they'll be going to be you. The chairman replied bluntly.
