Merinthera was in a pretty good mood at this time. She swept a few papers and set them aside, then picked up an inside copy of the council's newsletter and read it—only to glance at the headline, and Merinthera was stunned.

She got up suddenly, picked up her wand casually, and clicked it on the table, and the scattered papers floated and tidied up, and automatically stuffed them into the cloth bag next to her, she put down the two gold coins, got up and walked downstairs, and walked through the whole block without stopping.

As she walked through the night, her dark purple hair shimmered with a dark red glow.

This is because as an "elemental messenger", Merinsela is now able to communicate with the fire elemental plane through the magic circle - the "fire" spells used by ordinary mages are all condensed by the fire elements gathered in the plane, but she can store and use the energy from the elemental plane...

Therefore, the power of Merinthera's spells has begun to improve by leaps and bounds. With the same "Fireball Technique", she can almost cause the effect of the "Flame Explosion Technique" - she has published four or five papers in core journals in this area alone.

And because of the summoning and storage of interdimensional power, Merinthera's body is now gradually changing, ordinary people can only see the faint glow of the fire element emitted by her hair, but in the eyes of the Magus, she is more like a moving fire elemental.

Even if she wasn't a Magister, she was now almost a first-tier existence in Durrell City. Therefore, when walking on the road, even the horses pulling the carriage will instinctively avoid her.

Grimnese was expressionless, and walked all the way to Movent Academy.

The New Year's atmosphere made Mophonte College equally boisterous. However, the scene did not make Merinthera happy, as she was well aware that the Parliament had been wrestling over what to do with the recent wars that had blossomed in many places.

The country, at this time, is on the verge of a state of tension.

Although Rasiman adopts a "parliamentary system", this "parliament" is different from the "parliamentary system" of the upper and lower houses + a perfect deliberative system.

The imperfection of the deliberative system is manifested in many ways, for example, if there are three opinions on a matter, the parliamentarians who have their own opinions will sometimes even quarrel so much that they will even pick out the mistakes in one of the other party's previous papers - just to make the other side retreat.

Although the mages of the council are all politically savvy, they are not as good at ruling as the old nobles after all—some small things on weekdays are not big things after a long time, but when many countries suddenly start to raid the surrounding villages and towns on the border, it becomes a big problem to discuss countermeasures.

In the past, there were plenty of troops and strong mages, and it was not a problem to deal with multiple small countries at the same time. But after the "Ancient Beast" incident, Lasiman seemed to be scared, and the major academies were reluctant to send troops for a while, and the mage didn't take the initiative to ask for help...

After three days of back-and-forth in the council, before a unified decision could be made, several villages on the border had already been looted and bulldozed.

For this kind of thing, of course, Merinthra chose to stand by - she is not the speaker, and she will not worry about this group of people at all.

People on both sides of the road were discussing Speaker Jeremy's push to reform the parliamentary system, but they weren't optimistic about it at all. To put it bluntly, it's too difficult to eat the meat in your mouth and want the six academies to spit it out.

These mages, who were once oppressed by religion, have now tasted the sweetness and have become the same person they hated at the beginning.

Merinthera glanced at the brightly lit Movent Academy, where flags and flowers gave it a festive atmosphere, a huge mechanical clock with countless gears turning, and magicians who came in and out talking, without the slightest sense of urgency in the midst of war.

In their opinion, as long as everything is normal inside the academy, who cares about the flood outside?

"Go, go, go, don't you see what kind of place this is?

The guard at the gate of the academy used his scabbard to pull away an unkempt woman, whose clothes were not yet tattered, but had more dirt on them. She didn't beg herself, but because she passed by here, she was beaten several times, and because of the fear of the magician, she didn't dare to fight back, so she could only cover her sore shoulders and bow her head to leave.

The guards laughed and continued to talk about meat jokes. Melinthera looked at all this, only squinting slightly, and never spoke.

Judging from the current information, the homeless refugees have surrounded the two major cities in the northern part of the kingdom, and the Rahiman Council is still arguing back and forth over whether to open the gates, whether to provide food for relief, and how much food to give every day...

Merinthra had seen the various kingdoms of humanity, and while the Rahiman Council gave everyone the opportunity to express their views, the imperfections of the system made them look very stupid at this time.

According to what she knew, the magicians did not use the parliamentary system when they overthrew religion and seized power in the country.

But after the unification of Rashman, in order to check and balance each other, the six magic schools made such a complicated system - they hated dictators and the brainwashing brought about by religion, so they let every mage who entered the council have a voice.

Because they believe that magic can do anything, they have to be involved in everything from building water conservancy to population breeding.

Merinthera knew this mentality: the attitude of magicians towards magic was not far from religion. And the strength in the military field, coupled with the progress of the ships, made the mages feel more and more omnipotent.

The opening of navigation and trade routes already meant the beginning of an explosive economic development. If it weren't for the raids of the Ancient Behemoths and the sudden wars, it would have been a long time before Rasiman revealed the evils of domination.

But there are no "ifs" in this world.

Listening to the cheers and commotion of the taverns around her, Merinthera walked to the gate of the academy. Seeing the badge on her chest and feeling the amazing fluctuation of magic power, the doorman immediately let go of the door without saying a word - she came here often, so the doormen didn't dare to breathe, and their posture was unusually respectful.

The Movent Academy is famous for its magical puppets, and you can see statues of representative puppets from different periods everywhere, some of which simply make the puppets themselves into ornaments, and the life and contributions of the producers are written below.

There are all sorts of puppets on the long road leading in, and there are many empty spaces. Among these puppets, there is one that is familiar to Merlensela - it is the "Firebolt" car that Roddy drove in the rally when he was replaced.

The car was nearly destroyed during the attack of the Ancient Behemoth, and now it is being repaired in an effort to restore it, but the cobalt gold on it has been replaced.

Melinthera stared at the empty cockpit for a few seconds, then continued inside. She was familiar with the place, and after two turns, she arrived at the common room of the lower division of the house, and as soon as she pushed the door open, there was a cheer from inside.
