Chapter 48: The Conversation

After arriving at the Tower of Babel, Dean, Victor and Rosa, who were grumbling with hunger, hurriedly said goodbye and went straight to the dining place.

"What do you think of this kid Dean?"

While riding the magic elevator to the ninety-ninth floor of the Tower of Babel, Rosa suddenly asked, "In other words, what is your sensory impression of him?" ”

"Wisdom is foolishness."

Victor thought carefully about his time with Dean, and replied with feeling, "Dean, he seems to have no intentions, but if you underestimate him because of this, you are very wrong!" Fortunately, this kid still cares about his friends very much...... I'm so good with his senses! ”

"That's right!"

Rosa sighed pointedly: "It's the same for things and people...... We must not only look at the superficial things, but also get rid of all kinds of distractions and get to the essence of things. ”

Victor nodded with an instructive look on his face.

Soon, the two arrived at the top of the Tower of Babel, the office of the president of the Magical Society.

"I'm not going in!"

Rosa suddenly changed his mind when he pushed open the door, and he explained with a smile: "Escort you here completely, and my mission will be completed...... There are some things that are better communicated by the two of you alone. ”

Great grace is not grateful. Victor didn't repeat the words of thanks, he just nodded politely to Rosa and walked through the door.

"Victor, I am puzzled by your decision! Why agree to Felton and Winnie's offer? You won't be smart and you won't know what you give and what you get...... It's not proportional at all! ”

As soon as the office door was closed, Grant Einstead, the "legendary master" who was buried in the table, raised his head and asked questions.

"Your attention has flattered me, a little second-ring mage! I'm also going to explain this to you in detail......"

So, Victor said everything he had in mind, and at the same time presented the finished paper to Grant.

"Bold assumptions, rigorous logical reasoning ......"

Grant said with a serious expression: "This article is put here, and I will submit it to the journal Nature as soon as possible." ”

"Well, don't stand still! If anyone saw me, an old fellow, do this to a Sheatil Honor laureate, the spitting would drown me......"

The old-fashioned Grant made a rare joke about Victor, and if his son Rosa Einstead saw the scene, he would surely exclaim, "The sun has risen in the west."

At Grant's motion, Victor sat down with him in a comfortable chair and began talking.

"Recently, the mediation center of the mage management department has been very lively......

Grant, who was leaning back in his seat, closed his eyes slightly, and his expression showed a hint of exhaustion.

"Yes! According to Lord Rosa, the number of dispatches from their Ministry of Internal Affairs is also increasing...... That's not a good sign! ”

Victor continued with Grant's words, "It's better to publish my paper as soon as possible, as it may divert some of the mages' attention. ”

"This is only a temporary solution, and the root cause is still the struggle within the Magic Society!"

"Lord Grant, what is the struggle within the Society for? Right? Victor asked, "Lord Felton, don't they look like people vying for power?" ”

"Humph! It's all a dispute made up by the people below! We old guys are just there to wipe their butts......"

Grant snorted coldly, "These messy things have taken up most of our energy, and the time for arcane research is getting less and less!" ”

"Victor, you've been in Greenland for a short time, otherwise you'll find out...... For nearly a decade, the quality of arcane research has been decreasing in various fields! Apart from your 'analytic geometry', there are hardly any groundbreaking results......"

"If we continue like this, it will only be a matter of time before the end of the Magic Academy ends!!"

"So serious? Adults can't do anything? ”

Although Victor was more or less aware of some of the problems in the Magical Society, he did not expect them to be so difficult.

"It's not impossible...... But I can't make up my mind!! ”

Grant let out a long sigh and explained, "Take what happened to Victor in the Ainsted Academy of Magic as an example, the conflict between the two mage families alone has already constrained us, if we expand this range by dozens of times, or even hundreds of times...... This is the current status quo of the Magical Society. ”

"The premise of resolving the disputes within the Society is to fundamentally eliminate the influence of these mage families on the Magic Society! And this is the reason why we have been slow to make up our minds...... You must know that the 16 directors of the Council of the Magical Society are basically the spokesmen of various mage families. ”

Hearing this, a very intuitive impression immediately appeared in Victor's mind: this is like the king and the aristocratic class in the feudal society...... The Magic Society as a king and the mage family as an aristocratic class are inherently irreconcilable.

"What a headache!"

Victor looked at Grant with a sympathetic look, and the position of president of the Magical Society was not so easy to sit in.

"So, our attitude towards the Mage Family is one of connivance! We've been waiting for ...... Waiting for a chance, waiting for a chance to be reborn from the ashes!! ”

"We?"

Victor noticed this particular wording, who would be the person "we" refers to? Are the Grand Arcanists? Or more people?

Just as Victor's thoughts were distracting, a rapid beep sounded on Grant's desk, followed by the glow of a spell.

Grant sat still in his chair, but with a gesture of his hand, two pieces of parchment with handwriting flew into his hand.

"Well, this is the investigation report of the Ministry of Internal Affairs submitted by Rosa...... It's just an official article. ”

Grant explained to Victor as he skimmed through the report.

"Want to see it? According to the report, all of the people who attacked you were Eternal Temple sleepers......"

With that, Grant presented the report to Victor.

"People from the temple?" Victor frowned slightly.

"Let's take a look at the real findings."

Grant handed the second report to Victor, "According to Rosa's investigation, the two mages who died were both members of the Sissel family......
