Chapter 998: What's the Situation?
Due to the many witnesses, Sivi's disappearance soon became a sensation, with faint signs of spreading outward, and the disappearance of the prestige building of the Gate of Trials also proved this in disguise.
To be honest, the current situation is not good.
The ability of the Edric Academy to maintain its transcendent status in the Eastern Plains is entirely due to the strength of Sivena, which is far superior to ordinary magicians.
If Xiwei is really gone, then just the construction drawings of the magic guide destroyer, a big killing weapon, are enough for all forces to covet, not to mention that Adric has a lot of magic guide technology research results that are no less than the magic guide destroyer, not to mention those third-rate small forces, even the three major forces in the Eastern Plains will probably be jealous of this, right?
"I don't know how the King's Council is, but the Mage Guild and the Pure White Church shouldn't make such an unwise move."
After hearing what Evangeline was worried about, Sophia pondered for a moment and said, "After all, they still have some friendship with us Edric......"
Evangeline shook her head, "No, they're actually just talking to 'Sivi. Edric's friendship, and if something goes wrong with Sivi - like he dies with a powerful monster - I think they'll be happy to take over Edric's house. β
Regardless of the rest, the existing magic items in the Adric Academy alone are enough to raise the combat effectiveness of the three major forces to a higher level, regardless of the three major forces
With such lucrative benefits, it's no wonder they're tempted.
Although Xiwei was often not in the academy in the past, the whole academy had full confidence in him. I believe that Sivi will not encounter any danger, but this time is different, he can almost be regarded as fighting to the death with the monster whose body is unknown in full view. His whereabouts are unknown.
There would never be a traitor among Edric's students, as Sivi had told Sophia with certainty. Therefore, Sophia who is 100% convinced of Sivi also has the confidence that all students will not betray the college.
But after all, Edric's students are still young, and it is not impossible for someone to inadvertently leak the information of the college, or to be used for doing bad things with good intentions, so Sophia would not be naΓ―ve enough to think that she could block the news of Sivi's disappearance.
So how to deal with the prying eyes from outside the academy is the most important thing.
It is precisely because of this that Sophia will find Evangeline, the most politically oriented in the Adric Academy, as the former eldest princess of the Ilian Empire. Only Evangeline can judge the current situation enough.
"There are three countermeasures at present, the first is to simply find a force to make a false accusation and let it be used as a shield for our academy. Although this is not a complete solution, there is at least a buffer time to wait for Sivi's return; The second is to find a way to fight a battle and show the outside world the force of Edric, as long as it shows a sufficient degree of deterrence. I believe that those forces will also do what they can; The third is to retreat. Because of what Sivi left behind, we have two places to retreat, which are the subspace above Morag, and the branch campus on the Crimson Moon. β
Evangeline is worthy of being the heir to the empire that was once cultivated by the queen of Julianne, and she came up with several countermeasures in just a few minutes.
"Of course, all three have drawbacks. The first method is easy to cause the leakage of the academy technology, Adric has a lot of dangerous magic technology, and to be honest, there are some things that I even hope will not flow out of Adric for the rest of my life; The second method requires a precise grasp of the degree of force demonstrated, which is too weak to have a deterrent effect. Too strong is easy to self-defeating, and on the contrary, the great powers want to destroy Edric at any cost; The last option would cause Edric to temporarily lose his ability to gather intelligence from the outside world. Even if Sivi returns, we have no way of knowing. β
After stating the pros and cons, Evanterine took a sip of the coffee in front of her and didn't continue.
Her meaning was obvious, which was to leave the final decision to Acting Dean Sophia.
In silence, time passed minute by minute.
I don't know how long it took, the cup in Evangeline's hand also cooled down from the steaming state, and Sophia finally showed a resolute look.
"Miss Fit, can you invite professors with authority A and above to come to the dean's office?" She said to the ghost girl on the side, "I have something I want to discuss with them. β
"Okay, please wait." The ghost girl bowed slightly and disappeared into the dean's room.
"I hope my decision is not wrong......"
--The Dean at this moment---
"Uh......"
A muffled moan poured out of her lips, and then Sivi opened her eyes in a bit of a daze.
He was currently in a cramped compartment that was jolting and appeared to be driving on a road that was not in good condition.
"Hmm......"
The feeling of dizziness invaded Sivi's brain again, causing him to let out a somewhat uncomfortable breath.
Then, the memories of before he passed out suddenly came back to life.
The destructive power of the space explosion did not exceed Xiwei's expectations, but the subsequent influx of a large amount of Void Energy caught him off guard, even if he was good at using Void Energy, but that thing was not a good stubble after all, and this is almost the feeling of a good swimmer drowning in water, not to mention that Void Energy was much more vicious than water.
"You're awake!" At this time, a surprised voice came from the back of the carriage.
Sivi propped up his body and squinted his eyes, trying to see the other person clearly as he adjusted to the sudden bright light.
First of all, it's a pity that the other party is not a girl, but a very vicious-looking bald brother, and there are tattoos on his shiny bald head that look very strong.
If you want to describe it, it's probably the kind of appearance that you don't need makeup to play the boss of the gang......
Linguistics LV6 did not start, and the other party spoke Hughman.
This relieved Sivi that he didn't seem to have fallen into any strange place.
The other's serial murderer-like appearance didn't make much of a difference to Sivi - compared to the skeleton mage Franken in human skin, the other party's current appearance was really nothing to surprise Sivi.
So he immediately habitually began to set up the other party's words.
The bald brother Gui didn't have much scheming, and he was able to get a lot of information out of Xiwei's words.
He was the bodyguard of a famous alchemist, named Matthew, who had gone to Lovenia at the invitation of the lord of the city, as if to repair something for the lord there, and Matthew naturally followed the alchemist to Lovenia.
Then on the way, they found the unconscious Sivi, because they saw that Sivi was wearing an alchemist's robe (actually a mage's robe), so they saved him by the way.
The conversation with the bald Matthew made Sivi even more sure that he wasn't lost in the Void.
Lovenia is a plain city in the east of the Eastern Plains, not too far from the Illian Empire, although there is a certain distance from Morag, but it is not too difficult to go, if there is anything more famous about that city, it is probably that the city lord's chief guard is a witch with phoenix blood.
Although he had a certain interest in the witch, Sivi did not intend to waste time on such a thing.
"Are you leaving?" After Sivi showed his intention to leave, the bald Matthew immediately asked.
"Yes, thank you for your help, and if you have any trouble in the future, you can go to the Adric Academy in Morag to find me."
Sivi replied with a smile.
Although with the legendary-level aura, Sivi is afraid that even if he sleeps in the beast's nest, he will be fine, but no matter how he says that the other party can be regarded as helping him, Sivi naturally can't turn his head and act as if nothing happened, pat his ass and leave directly.
It is also worth mentioning that he found that he could no longer perceive the magic beacon he had left behind, which made it impossible for him to teleport back to Adric through the gap magic.
Although he wanted to use the Returning Crystal, for some reason there was a 'unusable' mark on the Returning Crystal, and it was precisely because of this that Sivi could only return to the Edric Academy through the most ordinary method.
"Edric? Do you want to go to school? β
The bald Matthew showed a hint of surprise, his big bronze eyes glared at Sivi, and said with some embarrassment: "I'll let you know, although the Adric Knight Academy is indeed quite prestigious, its admission time has long passed......
"No, I didn't plan to enroll...... Wait, what do you say is the full name of Adric College? β
Sivi was stunned.
"Madric Knight Academy, what's wrong?" Bald Matthew doesn't know why.
And Sivi showed an expression of disbelief: "Knight Academy?!" β
What's going on? (To be continued......)
