Chapter 23: Goodbye
Dean Cranred relieved Augustine of all the real power of shields and things, but he was unable to completely expel them from the academy. ”
In one sentence, Shalena succinctly describes the situation of the political struggle in Presland.
Chongyang nodded in understanding, his face a little solemn. Although the other party did not elaborate, there was a clear hint of sinister flavor in his tone. The Klanred faction won a resounding victory, but the hidden dangers remained, and the power struggle for Prisland was not over.
Since he wants to be Prisland's mentor, this kind of thing can't be ignored, and the dean is left alone for the time being. Chongyang himself has already formed a great enmity with Prince Qinan, coupled with the past, it is destined to have irreconcilable extreme contradictions with Augustus and those people.
Speaking of Prince Dinan, Chongyang has not seen this figure in person so far, and it was possible to see him at the previous celebration banquet, but he did not appear after all.
It has been more than ten months since the end of the Three Kingdoms Conference, except for being questioned by Duke Audrey at the celebration banquet. There was no hostility from Prince Dinan's faction, Fana's provocation was due to Roseali, and Enade's plot was due to Lawrence, and neither of them was directly related to Chongyang.
Bearing the hatred of killing Antonio, and even saying that kind of declaration in public at a banquet, he had been mentally prepared for a long time, but he was unexpectedly peaceful, and did not suffer any practical revenge for this heavy hatred.
Can you breathe a sigh of relief? No, Chongyang has been on guard in his heart, and the calmer he walks, the more he feels as if something is wrong.
After a few more words with Shalena, the female tutor politely took her leave.
After bidding farewell to the guests, Chongyang returned to the study. Place the document bag in your hand on the table and sit down at the table
。
"Winnie, bring me a cup of coffee and some snacks
The little maid took the order, and he was the only one left in the study.
"Yan Demon, what do you think about holding a lecture?" Chongyang asked in the face of Xu'an.
The fire elemental spirit appears beneath the ceiling.
"You're finally getting this famous. It's okay to give a lecture. The Flame Demon said hoarsely.
Chongyang was not surprised that the Fire Demon would agree, and in order to revitalize fire-based magic, it was necessary to promote the various theories of new fire-based magic.
The Trinity Conference ended in a low-key manner, but word always spreads that his reputation as one of the only two victors in the Wren Empire has spread to the flames.
Since the beginning of the Imperial Tournament, the new type of fire magic has gradually attracted attention, and he has received the support of many people in the fire magic community, including Professor Andre, and now it is only natural that he holds lectures. Explaining the mysteries of the new type of fire magic can be regarded as a reward for the deep expectations of Professor Andre and others.
The question is how the lecture should be spoken, and to what extent, all kinds of details need to be discussed with the founder of the Fire Demon.
Giving lectures is an academic act, but academics are not what most people think, and a group of magicians locked in ivory towers are gentle and elegant. Polite study of magic, but also have a brutal struggle.
Chongyang has not yet penetrated into that field, and has not personally experienced the contradictions in it. But he could imagine what a huge impact the Fire Demon's new theory of fire-based magic would have on traditional fire-based magic once it was published, and even deeper, and it might even shake the traditional magical authority of the other four systems.
Why are some emerging things that will shine in the future always criticized and insulted at the beginning? It is because these things have shaken the foundation of certain traditions and violated the interests of traditional authorities, so the forces of the traditional groups that occupy advantageous positions have to do everything possible to attack and even erase the new things, no matter how correct and valuable these new things are.
A well-known example of a past life is the Western Holy See's attack on Copernican heliocentrism. The role that Chongyang is about to play now is somewhat similar to that of Bruno, a die-hard supporter of heliocentrism. The latter was eventually burned at the stake by the Holy See.
Therefore, in the face of the general magicians, most of them are eager to express their chances. Chongyang is very calm, one might even say cautious.
Three days later, Chongyang had to go to Prisland College to go through the formalities.
Knowing that he was going out, Yarman, the head of the palace guard seconded by Prince Lawrence, insisted on taking someone with him.
"My mission is to protect you, sir. Yarman said to Chongyang with a dark and thin face.
"Over the past few days, my subordinates and I have tried to improve the security measures of the house as much as possible. Although due to the limited conditions, the security situation is not satisfactory. But as long as you're in the house, we're confident to protect you
"But when you're out and about, it's complicated. Because you didn't tell me in advance when and where I was going, we couldn't contact the relevant departments to do a good job of safety work, so we had to be close to you,"
The words were sprinkled, and there were some professional terms of magic guards that Chongyang didn't understand, and a central meaning was elaborated: Boss, if you act without permission, we bodyguards will be very nerve-wracking.
"Okay, you can follow if you want, but don't come too many people Chongyang had to say.
Yarman took the order, and selected three men and two women from among the nineteen men, and six men, including himself, to ride in three or two luxurious carriages. Follow the left and right of the Chongyang carriage.
In the car
"Four" Tian looked at the pomp and circumstance of traveling, and the scene of crying was really in line with the self-publication
Portion.
Prisland College, the scene hasn't changed much since it was last censored.
When Chongyang entered the academy under the protection of six palace guards with timid eyes and a fierce temperament. Naturally, it attracted the attention of most of the past students.
Although there are not many big names who enter and leave the First Academy of the Empire, this pomp and circumstance of the black-haired young man is rare. After all, this is the imperial capital, one of the safest big cities in the entire Rennes Empire, and Prisland College is a famous landmark of the city.
Swaggering into the academy with a bunch of bodyguards. In the eyes of ordinary students, this is deliberately putting on a show and pretending to be arrogant. And when the identity of the black-haired young man was recognized, the crowd became more and more noisy.
Expressionless, Yarman, who was dutiful to his duties, ignored the pointing and pointing of the students around him, and silently commanded his men to be on guard on all sides with the signal gestures of the palace guards.
One by one, if anyone dared to step forward, the guards immediately blasted out a stern posture of magic, which scared some of the academy instructors into not daring to approach.
Just kidding, just looking at the position of these magicians, you can know that they are definitely professional high-level magic guards! As long as they have an instantaneous magic, they can create an extremely strong combined magic array centered on protecting people, and eliminate the threat of foreign enemies at the first time. Instantly counterattack while keeping your target safe, subduing or killing enemies on the spot.
This kind of magic guard cannot be created without a long period of training, and only the great power and great families with particularly deep accumulation can afford to support it. That means. The characters they protect must be very important.
Chongyang was in the center of the crowd's attention, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.
He knew that Yarman wasn't trying to embarrass himself, but the sight was a little embarrassing. He didn't have to listen to it, he could imagine what kind of words would come out of the mouths of the students who recognized him.
"That's Chongyang. Bright, the legendary repeater. ”
"It's the one from the Empire Race
"I went to the Three Kingdoms Conference, and then it seemed that the victory table tennis came
"Did he really win? Oh my God, the Three Kingdoms."
"That's right, I have a cousin's friend's sister who attended the royal palace banquet for him. It was indeed he who won with Her Royal Highness the Imperial Princess, and he was still "
"Really, then isn't he just one step to the sky!? No wonder he came to the academy so arrogantly, he was going to completely tear Prisland's face!"
"This is too much, it's good that the academy has taken him in, and he has injured so many academy seniors in the Imperial Race, even if he is angry, he should have enough!"
"It's disgusting to do this kind of thing to demonstrate to the whole academy, thinking who you are?。
"People are powerful now, if they want to come and vent their anger, they will be angry" Shhhh
"Can you get him out?"
"Fool, don't you dare to go over without seeing the mentor!? We'd better stay away."
Although he never had any expectations, his stance of always bearing the strange eyes and disdain of the students has remained unchanged to this day, which makes Chongyang feel helpless.
He didn't want to confront the student tutors, he just wanted to find Shalena as soon as possible, but the problem was that it was difficult to ask the people around him where the female tutor was now.
His eyes swept over the beams of surprise and fear. jealous, gloomy, disgusted", and then froze on a slightly familiar cold face.
Chongyang was slightly stunned, and it took a few seconds to recognize the traces of the past from this face that was as clean and beautiful as a lotus flower.
The eighteenth change of the female college has not made a trace of wrinkles grow in the corners of Shalena's warm eyes, but it can make a young girl grow from a budding flower bone to a moving delicate flower.
"Freya
The arrogant and stubborn earth-wind dual-line genius girl has now grown a lot taller, with a slender and well-proportioned figure. The bewitching and beautiful long purple hair was cut into a clean and crisp ear-length short hair, and the hair was still soft and shiny, but it was less flowing and more mature.
Under the fine bangs, a pair of cold eyes reflected the figure of the black-haired young man, and a faint and complex light flashed in the depths of the pupils. Cherry red lips squirmed slightly, and the name was pronounced that would never be forgotten.
"Chongyang. Bright"
The autumn wind blew and blew the pure white scarf around her neck. Delicate and soft silk. But it involved a burning pain like a tear.
Can't forget, won't forget, don't want to forget.
The girl pursed her lips and hung her head slightly. As if admonishing himself about something, he looked up again. I wanted to look at the man indifferently as before, but I saw the other party walking towards this side with a calm and steady step
The surrounding students were noisy and frightened, and they scattered one after another. The black-haired youth, surrounded by six guards, walked up to the purple-haired girl who stood still.
"It's so sharp, are you okay, Miss?"
Chongyang tried his best to make the corners of his mouth pull up a friendly arc, forming a subtle gentle smile.
