"To be honest, I imagined that our destination would be the opera house, the maelstrom, or the ocean...... One of the statues of the goddess, but I never thought it would be here!"

Half an hour later, Talos descended from the whales and was amazed at the majestic complex and the towering mage tower.

This is the cradle of mages in the Naga Kingdom, Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Talos was sent here at the age of 11 and lived in the magic school for nearly six years.

Fate is a magical goblin, Talos thought, the last time he stood here he was a mage, working hard to graduate.

Now, the weapon in his hand has changed from a wand to a froststeel scimitar, his regular clothing has changed from a mage's robe to knight's soft armor, and he has been promoted to the second rank at an astonishing rate.

"So, I can breathe a sigh of relief now, don't I? You know, my mother told me several times before I set out in the morning, I made sure you had a good time. ”

"It doesn't get any better than this. ”

Talos knew that the reason why Princess Anna became so attentive was nothing more than to further bring the relationship between the two closer, but after all, he was not an ignorant and innocent teenager, although he was extremely genuinely happy, but he was not moved, and it was even more impossible to say that a deer popped up in his heart.

Princess Anna, who didn't know any of this, smiled even more sincerely: "Thank goodness, that's good, we've got a whole day to revisit your favorite places to visit." ”

Princess Anna had apparently contacted Rhea's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry beforehand, and it was not difficult for her to come to visit the school in the name of the princess, and soon they entered the school through the enchanted gate greeted by the school representatives.

"It's Talos, he's back!"

"It's really him!"

Probably because Talos was once a well-known figure in the school, or maybe because of infrared detection, the Talos Act, or one or all of his promotions to the second order.

In short, from the moment Talos's tail officially swam into Rhea's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he was surrounded by a mixture of disbelief, envy, and curiosity.

The Naga he had known and those he didn't know all looked at him with a special and complicated gaze, and their expressions were quite wonderful.

Reading other people's facial expressions or emotions in their eyes in a short period of time has never been Talos' forte, and he rarely needs to read people's faces, but at this moment Talos can easily distinguish one of them - jealousy!

Yes, jealousy, and when the first exclamation of "It's Talos" sounds, Talos can feel something called jealousy born in them.

The first to show surprise was a male Naga—presumably in the same grade as him, which Talos wasn't entirely sure—exclaimed as a wisp of eerie pale blue mist rose from his eyes, jumped slowly, like a flame, and then flashed away.

Immediately afterward, more than half of the Naga had a similar mist in their eyes, but some were slight, some were thick, and the degree varied.

Talos felt the soul fire throb, and a special power born from the jealousy of the Naga students gathered from all directions, threw into it, became fuel, and turned into a round of flame light radiating from the soul fire.

This is the power of jealousy!

Talos was a little surprised, and secretly complained to himself.

He was so stupid, really, since in the gluttony stage, he could increase the power of gluttony by overeating, and even sucking the energy on special items such as the gold coin curse, the goddess clam pearl, etc., he should have thought of gaining power from the act of jealousy itself.

Moreover, just a few days ago, he had personally experienced a counterattack from [Jealousy], because he was jealous of Bruce of the Golden Empire.

Today, there are more and more ways for soul fire to grow, but how to make the power of envy, one of the seven primordial desires, grow in a short period of time has always troubled Talos.

Only when the power of jealousy is strong enough to light up the pattern on the stone door in the center of the soul fire, can he open the temporary seal door again, perform the second plane descent, collect faith, strip jealousy from his body, and avoid becoming a monster with a head of flesh in the distant future.

Now, he knows how.

However, just as Talos was thinking about how to maximize the "benefits" of this magic school trip, the people who had been the most jealous of him were here, and a noisy voice sounded in his head.

"Damn, he's turned to a bloodline knight and isn't a mage, why is he still here? can't you let the mage's return to the mage, the bloodline knight's return to the bloodline knight, and there will be no contact again?"

"Fate is really unfair, how could his promotion speed be so fast, now he is already a second order!"

"Talos Nepton, the inventor of infrared detection, if only I had been the one who came up with this principle!"

......

"Not good!"

Talos was secretly horrified, he didn't expect that growing in power by absorbing the jealousy of others would come with such bizarre side effects.

The murmurs were distorted and confusing—they were already mixed with jealousy, and one could not expect to be true, good, beautiful, or bare-shore—and they all converged into a torrent that shook Talos's head, as if someone had placed an apiary in his head, and as if a thousand madmen were talking to him at the same time, drowning his will in an instant.

He only heard the frantic whispers of a large crowd out of jealousy, but he didn't know how to correspond them to their masters.

It wasn't until the last of the power that stemmed from the student's jealousy was completely refined by the soul fire that Talos's brain regained its clarity.

"Talos, your face is not very good?" Princess Anna said with concern.

"I'm fine...... Talos felt mentally exhausted and weak, but he still managed to explain, "I just remembered the scene I used to study here, and, alas, my statue never had a chance to be one of the twelve golden statues again." ”

It is the golden statue of the twelve most outstanding alumni of all time created by Rhea School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the number will always remain the same, and once the achievements of the latecomers surpass those of the predecessors, the least accomplished ones will be replaced, and the students will be warned to learn to surpass when their achievements are proclaimed.

"Oh, Talos, considering your current profession...... I sincerely feel sorry for you. Princess Anna comforted her at the right time, "But I just heard that Professor Ambery's next course will focus on teaching students a very practical first-order spell - infrared detection. ”

"As the inventor of the spell, would you be interested in auditing with me? I guess it would be very interesting. ”
