59. It's a choice
At noon that day, when Bai Yi was having lunch with Xiao Miya, there was a discussion about him in the dean's office of the academy - the blue ball of light was placed in front of the dean's desk, and next to it was a small wooden box that looked inconspicuous.
"What do you think?" The current Dean of the Xiansai Academy, the legendary archmage Runes, asked the other two vice presidents, although he only celebrated his 100th birthday last month, but only from the outside, his appearance is more like a man about 50 years old, and he can't see too many signs of aging for the time being.
This is the key to the difference between the legendary-level powerhouse and the following ranks, after reaching the legend level, the speed of aging will be greatly slowed down, and the lifespan will be extended for a long time, but this kind of life continuation is different from the way of adding one second on the earth after all, even the legendary-level lifespan is very limited, if the strength and realm are not improved by then, they will face the threat of rapid aging and death.
Obviously, Dean Runes is currently facing such a dilemma, he is always a little short of breaking through the immortal level, so this time he will personally preside over the cracking of this inheritance, hoping to find some opportunities for breakthroughs.
Not only did he face such a problem, but the other two vice presidents, Li and Jin, had also been trapped in the legend level for a long time, so the cracking of the relics this time would attract the attention of the three dean-level figures.
Faced with the dean's question, Vice Dean Li replied, "Judging by my understanding of the enchantment... It should be more complicated left by the wandering sage, right? Of course, at my level, I can't actually see much, so it's blind, right? ”
His words were quite frank, after all, the three of them have been old colleagues who have worked together for many years, and there is no need to worry about face or anything on this occasion, Vice Dean Jin also said: "I can't see anything, but the one who sent this ball of light was the former court archmage of the Dos Empire, and he has a deep knowledge of enchantments, and he recommended this Master of Hope to us, shouldn't he be a mouthful?" I think you can try it. ”
"O wisdom of those who came before! Sure enough, it is an existence worthy of awe. Dean Runes did not rush to express his opinion, but first sighed, "It's a shame to say that we run Xiansai College, which spreads academics, and we can be regarded as a well-known figure in the academic circle, but our academic attainments are not worth mentioning, and this relic was also cheekily snatched from the students, and now we have to be cheeky to ask others for help... We're really a bunch of old bastards who don't know how to learn. ”
"Don't say that, the students can't solve it on their own so they find the academy for help." Vice Dean Jin hurriedly said, and a wry smile appeared on his face, "It's just that they didn't expect that the deans who gave hope couldn't deal with it, right?" ”
"Okay, anyway, our old face is thick enough, please hope that Master Hope will come over, just hope his appetite is not too big." Dean Runes finally decided.
"You shouldn't worry too much about this, this person is rumored to have an excellent reputation, both in the academy and in Afen City, I don't think he should be that kind of person, right? I just don't know why I don't keep that blacksmith shop going? Vice Dean Li followed.
"The soul armor is a free existence in the academy, as long as he doesn't violate the corresponding rules, we can't control him, maybe he doesn't plan to continue to provide cheap services?" Dean Runes responded, smiling self-deprecatingly and saying, "I don't really believe in such a thing as reputation. ”
So after the lunch break was over, a teacher from the academy came over with Xiao Miya to find Bai Yi, and then led the two to a mage tower located in the depths of the academy.
This 9-storey mage tower is one of the landmark buildings of Xiansai Academy, usually mainly for teachers to use for academic research, students are not allowed to approach without permission, Miya has been in the academy for almost two years, and it is the first time to approach this mage tower with a bronze appearance.
"Mr. Hope, what is this going to do?" The little guy asked secretly, and as he spoke, the little hand holding Bai Yi's armor tightened slightly.
Feeling the nervousness in the girl's heart, Bai Yi patted her head lightly and said, "Don't be afraid, just do them a small favor." With that, he took Mia's hand and walked into the mage tower.
The layout and scene are similar to the Mage Tower in my impression, there are bookshelves and utensils everywhere, and there are all kinds of signs, and some students who are doing chores here are walking through the spiral staircase with various magical materials, looking very busy, and they only have time to cast a puzzled look at the strange faces of Bai Yi and Miya.
"The Dean is waiting for you on the third floor." The teacher in charge of leading the way said respectfully to Bai Yi, and at the same time glanced at Miya lightly.
"I see, so help me take care of the little one." As he spoke, he let go of Miya's little hand, patted her head again, and said, "It's best to prepare some drinks and desserts." ”
"Leave it to me." The teacher who led the way said with a smile and took Miya to the side, while Bai Yi walked up to the third floor alone, and was taken to the dean's magic laboratory by another teacher who was waiting here.
When walking halfway, the group of guys in the void also ended the long battle, with Bai Yi's secret help, the justice camp finally won a rare victory after a hard battle, and the magician who handled Brother Shimada's younger brother withstood the pressure and led the team to the final victory naturally enjoyed the praise of his teammates, and the atmosphere in the void returned to harmony.
"Hahaha, I'm really suitable for this kind of game!" The leader of the righteous camp, the magician, said with great satisfaction.
It's all for you to be like that, and it almost makes you invulnerable, but it took so long to take it down... My dear teacher, when will you realize that you have no talent for games at all... Bai Yi said silently beside him.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about games, now let's take a look at the characters we want to face, shall we? Not... Three legendary little guys? The magician continued.
It's an old guy, right? As soon as Bai Yigang walked into this laboratory, he saw that the three people on the other side had stayed at the legendary level for a long, long time, and if there was no chance, they should have no chance to be immortal in this life. After grasping this information, he probably sold the bottom limit of what the other side could bear.
When he observed the three deans, the three deans were also observing him, and they suddenly discovered his intermediate strength reaction, and also noticed his valuable armor, and suddenly had some opinions in his heart, but he didn't show anything on the surface, but said with extra enthusiasm: "Master Hope, please sit down, we have been waiting for a long time." ”
Bai Yi immediately walked to the table in front of the three of them and sat down, glanced at the small wooden box on the table and the blue ball of light he was playing with, and said knowingly: "I don't know what the three of you are looking for me for?" ”
The other party did not rush to answer, but Dean Runes introduced himself first: "I am the current Dean of Xiansai Academy, Runes, and the two of them are Vice Dean Jin and Li, we have heard some rumors about Master Hope before..."
He was customarily saying polite words over there, and Bai Yi was not interested in listening to it, but said in the void: "Legendary dean? Isn't that a bit too weak? ”
"Strictly speaking, there is no direct correlation between the School of Management and strength." The apprentice immediately came out to defend his junior, "He was one of my apprentices back then, his talent was relatively average, but he was very enthusiastic in management, maybe it was this enthusiasm that dragged down his strength, right?" ”
This makes sense, and the college is indeed thriving in an orderly manner... When Bai Yi was secretly thinking about it, the polite words of the dean outside were finally finished, and the topic entered the main topic.
"I invited Mr. Hope to come this time, in fact, I wanted to ask Mr. Hope to help see if I could break the prohibition on this wooden box." The dean said with some embarrassment, a well-known graduate school in the southern continent has cultivated countless outstanding students, but now he has to ask others to help unlock the treasure he found, and there is a sense of forgiveness for marrying a wife but asking Lao Wang to help make a child, this kind of thing is really embarrassing when you think about it carefully...
After the dean finished speaking, he pushed the small wooden box in front of Bai Yi, signaling him to take a look first, Bai Yi casually probed it with his mental power, and there was a familiar smell, it was really something left by the explorer back then, so he poked the explorer who was forbidden by him with his consciousness, and asked alone: "What is in here?" ”
The explorer did not answer directly, but said with some depression and grievance: "It seems that the memories I shared have really been forgotten by Your Excellency Hope, and I still keep yours..."
Aren't you talking nonsense, if I keep all the memories of 32 people or creatures, I won't become schizophrenic sooner? Don't interrupt, tell me what's inside, and I'll find a chance to let you out when I get back. Bai also urged.
"It should be a travel diary, recording the process of finding this imperial tomb, plus some opinions on the magic system of the Ancient Rosser Empire, etc., which may involve some knowledge of the magic of the Ancient Rosser." The explorer replied, "Not much, though. ”
This material naturally doesn't mean much to Bai Yi, of course, it shouldn't be of much use to the three deans who are trapped in the legend level, and the realm breakthrough they need most at the moment is not determined by this knowledge.
It doesn't matter, it doesn't prevent Bai Yi from making a price, but whether it is a lion opening his mouth or giving a fair price needs to be pondered.
