readx;? In the Royal Arcane Academy, a young woman in her twenties and in her prime was walking briskly on the forest ** on the campus. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Thin pieces of sunlight fell through the cracks in the leaves, and melted into her silky blonde hair, reflecting a light that seemed to shine brighter than the sun. A casual mage's tunic robe vaguely outlined her slender and bumpy figure, swaying with her staggered steps. At this time, it was the end of class, and the apprentices walked together on the wide and flat forest ** and walked towards her, many of them were stunned or amazed, or amazed or burning eyes, and some who knew her were either flattering or hesitant to salute her.

"Senior sister, you're back again. ”

"Senior, long time no see. ”

She didn't stop at her feet, just nodded, the corners of her mouth raised a slight arc to show a vague kindness, neither rejecting people from thousands of miles away but also maintaining a considerable sense of distance, the good aristocratic etiquette education she received since childhood made her every movement look perfect and elegant, which made those eyes admire even more admiration and scorching even hotter. It's just that she's unmoved. These glances and opinions were worthless from the Arcanist's point of view, and she was not willing to walk this place in her current form if it wasn't necessary.

Although the Royal Arcane Academy is actually no longer part of the royal family, it is no longer the sacred place that countless ** masters yearn for in the imperial era, as if the wisdom and talents of the world are gathered here, it is just a form and a divine imitation rebuilt on the original ruins, but after all, it is also one of the places that represents the highest arcane level in the continent today, among which there are more than ten ** masters who walked from the imperial era. Coupled with the arcane circles in the academy, any means of camouflage in the arcane arts would be meaningless in front of these people, and would instead appear a little disrespectful and suspicious.

And the last thing she wants to do now is to make people suspicious. In contrast, appearing here in its original form is at most just attracting attention on the side of the road.

The high-level storage room is for professors and lecturers, and the general twenty cubic private storage space is a dream for many ordinary mages who don't have a mage tower, but for the teachers of the Arcane Academy who are at least high-level mages and almost all of them are important people in the family, it is a bit dispensable, so this storage room in the corner of the academy is very deserted, and there are almost no people except for a few arcane guards and golems.

Taking out the secret key and placing it on the general interface, more than a dozen small elemental gems with specific unique permutations and combinations activated the arcane magic circle, and a spiritual fluctuation that required a password was transmitted. But the most important keys are here, and the rest of the passwords are not a problem. The blonde woman took out another scroll and pulled it open, a slurred sound that seemed to be made up of dozens of completely different syllables stacked together vibrated in the air, and then a folded space appeared in front of Stephanie.

The blonde woman breathed a sigh of relief as quickly as she could to take out all the contents and put them in her folding bag, and then closed the savings space to recover the key.

"It's you? Why are you here? I just heard that someone saw you, and I thought they were wrong. ”

The sound not far behind her made her whole body stiffen, but it only took half a second for her to figure out that she had done all the things she had to do, and immediately relaxed again, turning her head to look at the person who made the sound. It was a young man and a woman, the man was tall and handsome, with short pale blonde hair, dressed luxuriously, and did not seem to be students of the academy, while the woman was dressed in a blue robe that only lecturers had, with fiery red curly hair falling down, some freckles on his face, and very slender eyes, but he could also be regarded as a beauty.

"Edith, are you already a lecturer?" she looked at the red-haired woman, who was her former classmate at the Arcane Academy.

"It's inevitable. The red-haired woman Edith replied a little proudly, her face full of questions. "But what are you doing here? This is a storage space for lecturers and professors. ”

"Just help a friend get something. She replied lightly, turned and left.

"Wait a minute, Altory Deliare Fernández, who hasn't asked for the young lady's name and surname?" "Look at your blonde hair as dazzling as the sun, your flawless face and temperament, you must be from a noble family, right?"

"Haha, that's right. Ahrens. Edith giggled, but there was still a sour taste in the laughter. "Don't show your Fernandez family name, even if the reputation of the Crimson Grand Duke is great, it is nothing in front of my classmate. ”

"Oh?" the young man frowned. It has nothing to do with cultivation and other issues, when it comes to family honor, no noble mage will have the slightest compromise or retreat. "Wouldn't you? Dare to ask this young lady what your last name is......

"Oro Green. Edith replied instead, her voice and eyes full of bitter malice. "How's it going?

"Really? How could it be?" the blonde man named Ahrens had a strange expression. A little embarrassed and pity, but also a little disapproving.

Oro Green, this is the surname of the royal family of Oyoro in the Arcane Empire. At the time of the empire's existence, such a surname was of course far superior to that of any other family, but at the time of the fall of the empire, all the royal families died at the hands of foreign alliances - this is recognized by all existing noble families, and even in the first twenty or thirty years after the fall of the empire, anyone who dared to claim to be a descendant of the royal family was judged as a liar and sentenced to death for blasphemy against the royal family. It is only in the last one or two decades that it has gradually recognized that there are still some very weak bloodlines in the former royal family flowing among the people. But that's all, no nobleman will pay attention to these guys who only have an obnoxious surname, and the former royal family name has become synonymous with liars and clowns.

Ahrens couldn't even believe that such a charming blonde mage in front of him would be willing to take her last name.

"It's just a surname. The expression on the blonde mage's face was unwavering, and her voice was as cold as a fountain of ice. "Edith, why are you still immersed in this childish game as before. Just because your companions showed concern for me, they felt threatened and did everything they could to belittle and attack me. Are you the barmaid in the tavern who has to scratch her head and fight for a few copper plates, or the old and old jealous woman in the house? Are you so desperate to learn the arcane just to put on the title of a lecturer to show off? It turns out that the arcane is no different from jewelry to you, and you really don't deserve this academy to learn the arcane. ”

I don't know if it was the cold appearance of the female mage, or the content of the words that stimulated the sensitive zone in my heart, a burst of anger rose from the chest of the red-haired female lecturer, and rushed out with the previous bitterness: "Don't be hard-mouthed! You shameless liar, pretending to be a slut! I got secret help by selling myself to a bad old man professor, and I actually pretended to be a high-minded person to seduce those ignorant male classmates." I don't know how many times you're going to pout your ass and get fucked by those old guys in exchange for their kind counseling, how long will it take to kneel between their legs and suck before they can get you to give you a tuition waiver that you can't afford?"

"What did you say?" The blonde mage's face changed as if she had been said, and her originally indifferent expression suddenly turned cold.

"Haha, I was right, didn't you? Do you think you can cover it all up? We've guessed it a long time ago! In our eyes you are no different from those whores in the slums who kneel under the peasants for a few copper plates. You have to thank that the atmosphere has not been so serious in these years, if it was in the first ten years, just because of your damn surname, you should have been executed for blasphemy!" Looking at the blonde mage's embarrassed and angry expression, Ediths only felt indescribably happy, she had been waiting for this day for several years. "After two years of silent disappearance after graduation, you finally turned into an underground mistress who became a human being, and now you still dare to swagger here? Are you helping your old fellow who serves to come here and get some sex props?"

"Shut up, I won't allow you to insult the teacher!" the blonde mage's originally beautiful facial features were completely distorted, and she waved her hands and made gestures, chanting auxiliary syllables in her mouth.

"How dare you do it to me here?" said Edith. "Don't wait for the Arcane Guardians to warn you, my legitimate counterattack now will make you look good. ”

Casual private fights are strictly forbidden in the Arcane Academy, and the Arcane guards patrolling everywhere and the Arcane Circles in the Academy can record the occurrence of private fights at the first time and deal with them, and reasonable counterattacks against unreasonable provocations are completely unpunished. Almost happily, Edith constructed a two-ring arcane acid arrow in the shortest amount of time. She laughed with joy as she watched the acid spew onto the blonde mage's head and face, corroding the distorted face into smoke. Sure enough, this kind of waste, which has been an underground lover for a few years, has forgotten even the most basic arcane combat, and is still there slowly trying to use a high-ring arcane.

It's just that the blonde female mage whose head and face were corroded did not stop casting spells because of this, and several translucent force field barriers suddenly appeared around Edith to form a force field cage, and before she had time to be surprised, a powerful electric current precipitated from the air around her, easily penetrating the protection of the standard mage robe on her body, and several shining electric lights jumped out of her. At the same time, a huge shock suddenly occurred in her body. In the blink of an eye, she, the lecturer of the Arcane Academy, was completely unconscious by the superimposed paralyzing arcane arts, and collapsed in the force field cage with her eyes rolled and passed out.

"Hmm... Is this okay?She's also from the Chalmers family after all......" The blonde man Ahrens looked at the red-haired female lecturer in the force field cage with interest, and a faint stench came out through the force field barrier, the electric shock and concussion just now were enough to subdue the most violent orc warriors, and the effect was a little too strong for her as a woman. And not far in front of the limp Edithy, there was an arcane guard who was covered in blue light, except for the green smoke on his head and face that was corroded by acid, but the acid created by the second ring of arcane could only be regarded as cleaning the surface stains of this high-level golem at most.

"The first battle sequence of the academy guards is always non-destructive, after all, most of the young people in this school belong to young people who don't know the depth and are easily impulsive. Therefore, even if she took the initiative to attack the guards, it would definitely be considered a malicious act, and it would not lead to a fatal counterattack. The blonde mage was still so calm and indifferent, that she didn't even look at Edith, who had collapsed to the ground, as if it were just a moth that had hit her hand without knowing how to kill herself.

"But you have so easily used illusion to confuse a high-ranking mage who has gone through countless meditations to strengthen his spirit......" Ahrens looked at the female mage's eyes with a brighter, more intense glow, almost on fire. "You just made a hint of the second ring, right? It's unbelievable......

"Someone like her, who only uses arcane as a means, is not qualified to be called a mage. I know her mental state very well, and it is no harder to suggest her than it is to suggest a drunkard. The blonde woman turned to leave.

"No, please wait, beautiful young lady. Listen to me, I'm ......" Ahrens stepped forward, already determined to forge a deep friendship with this charismatic and beautiful female mage no matter what.

"Please stop!" Suddenly, a tall blue figure stopped in front of the blonde female mage, the arcane guard who had been attacked by Edithy. The acid had evaporated, leaving no trace on the body that emitted a faint blue light, except for the slightest stench in the air. Although it doesn't have a mouth, vibrating the air and making a sound is not a difficult task for such a high-level golem.

"In the previous conflict, you used suggestive illusions first, and you were primarily responsible for this conflict. Come to Office 3, Tower 4R. Right now!" The voice of the arcane guard was cold and sluggish with a majesty that could not be refused, this is not really what the arcane guard can say, it is obvious that the ** master in the academy has noticed what has just happened, and now he is communicating his will through the arcane guard.

The blonde mage sighed, spread her hands, and turned around and walked briskly in the direction of the 4r floor. Although the arcane guards stayed where they were and did not follow, as long as they were in this academy, no one dared to ignore the orders given by a ** master.

Ahrens followed two steps, but finally stopped, and could only whisper in the back, "Name, at least let me know your name, beautiful lady." ”

"Stephanie Domingo de Orogreen. The blonde mage didn't look back, leaving Ahrens with an unforgettable image of her slender back.

"I really didn't expect that you were so criticized behind people's backs, and I knew that I wouldn't have given you such obvious help at that time. However, your final handling was very calm and very good, which not only dealt with the disputes and entanglements, but also gave me a valid reason to bring you here. ”

In the private office of the 4R Tower, a silver-haired old woman looks at the blonde mage with love and relief in her eyes, as if she were watching her own children and grandchildren do nothing.

"To the Arcanists, the opinions of the vulgar, whether they are praised or criticized, are nothing more than meaningless noise. Stephanie shook her head, still indifferent.

"But you're not just an arcane after all, you're still a pretty twenty-one-year-old girl, aren't you?" the old woman smiled. "Don't work so hard, Stephanie, you're still young, and there's so much more to live than to do. ”

"If I can reach the level of arcane arts like you or Vice President Griffin, and restore the supreme glory of arcane and the empire, even if I am a hundred-year-old goblin, I am willing. Stephanie's eyes shone, firm and powerful, without the slightest hesitation or weakness.

"Life shouldn't be all about arcane, and it can't be all about it, you should understand that. The old woman shook her head.

"But for me, that's it. The blonde mage was unmoved. He took out his own space folding bag and handed it to the old woman. "Professor, all of the mage's belongings have been taken out, and I have a rough estimate that they are worth about 300,000 Aojin. Among them, there is also a high-order elemental gem that we desperately need. ”

The old woman didn't reach out to take it, but looked at the seemingly small leather bag and was silent, her face was a little lonely and a little ridiculed, and finally she took it with a long sigh: "I can't imagine that the Arcane Revival Society will be reduced to the point of looting the inheritance of innocent mages......"

"Anyway, if we don't take it, these things can only be stored in it forever and no one knows. Thinking back to the owner of these things, Stephanie's expression became slightly lonely. "That's a real mage, a real nobleman, who died at the hands of those barbarians because we were implicated, but leading the academy students to participate in his own family's long-range caravan and being in danger, strictly speaking, is also against the rules of the academy, and there is no way to explain to the families of those three students, the Howard family is not lacking in this point, and it is impossible to ask the academy to sort out the storage space for them in a big way...... It's better to be able to contribute those things to the Arcane Revival than to be buried in storage forever. ”

The old woman shook her head slightly, her expression serious and frozen: "I didn't expect that this accident would hit the Revival Society so severely, it was almost fundamental. The sudden appearance of the Divine Presence has increased the confidence of the temple and the church a lot, and some of the more cautious mages have not dared to contact us. And the fact that the Star Temple was temporarily lost in the astral realm due to the rejection of the gods couldn't be concealed from the ** master who deliberately went to investigate, and those families who originally secretly supported us also stopped supporting us for various reasons, and even some members of our own internal ......"

"Those snobs who are just using the Revival Society to satisfy their own selfish desires have no loyalty to the Arcane or the Empire, and it's not a bad thing to use this twist and turn to filter them out. ”

"You always think things so absolutely......" The old woman smiled bitterly, and her expression became solemn again. "In short, it is important to reconnect with the Star Temple now and help the Star Temple get back on track. Therefore, every ounce of resources is extremely precious and important to us, and I have issued an urgent notice to stop all non-essential activities and go all out to explore and unearth new imperial relics to gather resources...... Also, the important materials that Westerners carried were only important to us before, but now they seem to be indispensable, and some of these alchemical items that can only be produced in the Western Continent are decisive for locating the astral plane. We're going to do everything we can to get it before they get it into the hands of the Duke of Inclave. ”

"Fortunately, they are still quite far from Inclave and we have plenty of time for the time being. But now we don't have many executives we can trust, and you've had contact with those Westerners before, and you know them well. I hope you can find a way to keep in touch with them, find out their situation, and then slowly make a plan accordingly. ”

"It's... Please rest assured, professor. ”

"Remember to be careful. And the power of those Westerners now seems to be beyond our imagination, and you are not completely sure that you must not do it again. It would be best if those materials could be obtained without the use of force, if not...... Once the plan is in place, I'll gather the executive staff, and I'll go and ask Vice President Griffin to come along. ”

"Yes. ”

After thinking about it, the old woman sighed again, her expression relaxed, and she looked at the blonde female mage in front of her, as if to her granddaughter, and said in harmony: "You are very smart, Stephanie, and you are also very talented in arcane. But a lot of the time you should not just look at the arcane, it's not just the arcane. ”
