Leaving Ankers at a loss, Houdini picked up the newspaper and left unhurriedly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info He naturally understood why the other party came out at this time - after the catastrophe, most mages were engaged in the study of mutated creatures in the sea, and as long as the topic of "mutant creatures" was chosen, it was impossible to bypass the two papers he and Roddy had written earlier.

So as one paper after another was published, the names Houdini and Roddy became known. At this time, everyone understood why the "Ancient Sea Monster" could be solved by Roddy, and after a glance at those detailed studies, everyone knew that Rasiman had been left behind by the Cullen Kingdom for a long distance on the subject of "demonized creatures". Therefore, in recent times, almost all academic magazines, journals and newspapers have been frantically discussing this topic, and it is obvious that they are desperately trying to catch up.

Houdini showed little interest in this, because Roddy had already set a time for his return, and he was out today mainly to finish off his work in Rassiman.

Walk up to the "Colommere" Tower, a building known as the "Eye of Truth" that still has several holes that have not yet been repaired, but the offices in the tower have been restored to normal operation. When the apprentice at the door saw him, he immediately saluted respectfully and said loudly, "Thank you for everything you have done for Lassiman!"

Houdini became known to have used mana to draw handwriting on top of the Tower, and the scene soon became a turning point in the war. His name also became the reason for the "rehabilitation" along with the thesis, and now the situation of "everyone shouting and beating" no longer exists, but Houdini does not have much emotional turmoil.

After all, not all rifts can be bridged perfectly.

"Lord Houdini! the meeting is about to begin, and you can go through this passage directly. ”

The inner administrator greeted Houdini and guided him to the "conference hall" where he had only been benched for two weeks. The mage beside him was obviously excited to see Houdini, and couldn't help but say, "You and that Lord Roddy are so brave, no wonder the council will specifically propose you to become the core councilor of Blunka Academy this time - Councilor Corry's previous performance is really disappointing, I hope you can lead Blunka Academy out of the shadows!"

"I hope so. ”

Houdini calmly stepped into the familiar hallway, and pushed the door open at the end.

In the soft light of the lighting circle, the seats in the council were not very attendant. When Houdini walked in, most of the mages present cast their eyes on him, but Houdini was unaware of this, and stepped to the front row of seats belonging to the "non-councilors" and sat down, which actually meant the status of "reserve councillors".

Two minutes later, Speaker Jeremy walked to the center of the room and called the meeting to order. And the first resolution is to announce the adjustment of the position of the Blunka College Councillor:

"In light of Councillor Corey's prolonged passivity during his tenure, his inability to lead the Academy, and his excessive abstentions in various resolutions of the Council, this motion proposes to resign from the core seat of Mage Corey..."

The vote was quickly passed, and the pale-faced Congressman Corey got up on the spot to sign the bill, and then staggered out of the room. Before leaving, he glanced at Houdini with some resentment, only to find that the magister had been looking calmly ahead, ignoring him at all.

Speaker Jeremy then announced that Houdini would be recommended as a core member of the Blunka Academy – a decision that was entirely expected, and almost everyone in the room understood that this was a "reparation" from the council to Houdini.

Houdini was wronged by the council and the Blunka Academy, and was extremely suspicious of the fleet from the moment the fleet had not yet returned, and although Rotica and the Barrenna Academy were the main causes, the "indifference" of the majority was itself tantamount to taking sides. For Houdini, it was indescribable humiliation and hurt.

Now they pulled out Houdini's first report, and found that the magister hadn't actually told a half-truth. But who is to blame for the distrust of Houdini at that time, which led to the current result?

"Magister Houdini, as long as you sign it, the appointment will take effect. On behalf of all members of the Parliament, I would like to welcome you-"

"I have something to say, Speaker. ”

Jeremy's words were abruptly interrupted by Houdini. There was a commotion in the venue... After all, Houdini's behavior is not polite, just bow your head and sign at such a critical moment, where is there any nonsense?

But they obviously didn't expect Houdini's final decision, the magister reached out and took out a scroll of paper from his pocket, raised his hand and handed it to the magic apprentice next to him, and looked up, "Since Blunka Academy rejected my resignation, then I can only submit another application with all the councillors present." ”

Jeremy frowned, in fact, he had a premonition that it was wrong when he saw the courtyard with Houdini's gate closed, and now he saw that the Magister in front of him did not change his face in the face of the status of the "core councilor", and his heart was even more bottomless. When the apprentice took the paper Houdini had handed him over, he finally understood... Even if he gives up the position of "Speaker", I am afraid that he will not be able to stop this mage from leaving.

On the paper was a statement of Houdini's voluntary withdrawal from the Rasiman wizarding world - Rasiman was not very clear about "nationality" at this time, and the criteria for defining the so-called "treason" were very vague, but if a magister declared that he had "withdrawn from the Rasiman wizarding world", the meaning would be basically equivalent to "renunciation of Rasiman nationality".

However, this kind of statement does not take effect in a word, as the kingdom trained the Magister, Houdini needs to compensate a certain amount of resources, or use a certain number of Arcanon Points to exempt - in this statement, Houdini voluntarily gave up the tens of thousands of Arcanon Points he had accumulated, as well as most of the wealth he had accumulated over the years.

The parliamentary vote does not reject the statement itself, but only the amount of "compensation", which Houdini has clearly exceeded the "standard line" several times, and there is no doubt about his heart.

Speaker Jeremy set for half a minute, then sighed, put aside the original "letter of appointment of core members", picked up Houdini's "statement" and read it, and then voted by a show of hands.

Such a turn of events caught the lawmakers off guard, but no one who can sit here is a fool. After seeing the Speaker's expression, they also knew that they could not do anything, so they finally confirmed the validity of the declaration with more than half of the vote.

"Thank you. ”

Houdini bowed, turned and left the hall.

The silent venue looked at the back of his departure, some regretted, some were ashamed, and most of them were indifferent - after all, when disaster did not befall them, "empathy" was always just a false proposition.

They believe that Rasiman is not short of a mediocre "prophecy" magister, but the future... Often unexpected.

Following.

The supplies transported from Rasiman to the Karen Kingdom have already begun to be loaded and pulled away in the direction of the military port. The Bolatini was still the flagship of the voyage, but the number of ships returning was very large, with 30 transports alone, some of which were delivered directly to Roddy. Hundreds of sailors were busy at the docks, excited about the upcoming voyage - after all, the name of the "Kingdom of Karen" had spread throughout Rasiman by this time, and countless people were curious about what kind of rich country it was.

Roddy didn't have time to go to the port to keep an eye on, because he had been trying to complete the "investigation report" promised to Alva for the past two days. And when he stayed up late to write these things, he learned that Nephi wanted to "study abroad" in Rasiman.

“... Is that okay?"

When Nephi asked this question, Roddy opened his mouth and wanted to give a negative answer - where could he rest assured that such a little girl would be left in a foreign country?

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them at all. Because he realized that this concept of "for your own good" was something that he hated at the beginning. Nephi's position in Roddy's heart is very vague, saying that "when a daughter watches", it is entirely because of her current age. But at the end of the day, she was still the woman who left the deepest mark on Roddy's heart—even if he was now on another plane.

Loving someone is not reflected in an infinite desire for control. Roddy understood these big truths, but he obviously couldn't rest assured when it was his turn. He put away the stack of papers, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Well, I support learning from me." It is... How long are you going to stay?"

"Do you really agree?"

Neffie was actually reluctant to give up, but she knew that she couldn't stand under the protection of others for the rest of her life, so she mustered up the courage to continue: "I want to go to the Movent Academy and learn the techniques of making and manipulating the Construct Golem. They said to enroll me for free and study for three years. ”

In order to reassure Roddy, Nephie added, "Sister Mylensella is also going to stay here, saying that she can take care of me." ”

"She wants to stay here, too..."

Hearing this, Roddy was relieved. With Merlene Sera here, he obviously doesn't have to worry about anything. But how this Movent Academy is, he still has to take a closer look. Roddy himself didn't realize that he was now a rigid and cautious parent, afraid that his children would be wronged at school.

But before Roddy could lead Nephi out the door, the frost dragon Alva arrived at Roddy's manor as promised. He saw the two of them at a glance from the dragon's appearance and turned into a human form, and asked curiously: "What? This is preparing to go out? This is... Huh?"

Alva's gaze lingered on Neffie for a moment, and his eyes suddenly became strange, "Your daughter?" Sister?"

The dragon clan is not very sensitive to age, and after he finished speaking, he realized that Luo Di was only in his twenties, and he didn't look like he had a daughter.

"The most important sister," Roddy smiled and said truthfully, "she is going to stay in Rasiman to study magic, and she will introduce - Nephi Camilla, this is Lord Alva of the Frost Dragon." ”

Nephie looked at Alva curiously and stepped forward to say hello. But the latter apparently had something to say—he reached out and motioned for Roddy to the other side, and whispered, "This little girl is a genius, you know?"

"Well, she's pretty good..."

Roddy was very surprised that Alva would give such a high evaluation, and in retrospect, Merinthra seemed to have said something similar, could the dragons see something different?

"Pretty powerful, don't believe me when I say it, I'm afraid that the unsuccessful guy in the Frost Dragon Clan can't compare to her. It's hard to have this kind of physique in a human being, is she really a human being?"

"Absolutely. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Uh..." Roddy suddenly hesitated, he suddenly realized that he hadn't asked who Nefi's father was at all, and Camilla was obviously secretive about this question and never talked about it, which made him unable to give a positive answer, so he had to shake his head: "I'm really not sure." ”

Alva was pleased with the answer: "She's going to study here?" but I'd suggest that she change places when she's done studying, and I'm afraid that Raciman's academy won't be able to satisfy her soon." ”

After he finished speaking, he patted his chest: "But as long as it's on this territory, if you have any questions, come to me directly." ”

Roddy was surprised by his attitude of taking the initiative to give favors in a big package, but Alva's later words dispelled his doubts: "After the 'Demon Gate' was opened, my father and they held a meeting to adjust a lot of strategies, and the cooperation with the human magic world will gradually open up in the future, after all, some things are indeed difficult to rely on the dragon clan alone, and we are not many in number, so we can't take care of the various realms." And your synergy with my sister is clearly a success story, and now they talk about it every day..."

Hearing these words made Roddy a little embarrassed, because the content seemed to involve the secrets within the dragon clan. Although he wanted to hear more, he was also afraid that this was a temptation from the other party, so he hurriedly interrupted Alva's rambling on the grounds of "going to get the investigation report".

In a few minutes, Roddy handed Alva a stack of reports and the paper he had written, who looked through it briefly and said in surprise, "Hey, my father will be satisfied, and I will hand in your paper with you." If there is any notice, I will come back to you. ”

"It's estimated that it will be next year, and I'll be ready to leave the day after tomorrow and return to the Karen Kingdom. ”

"That's okay," Alva gave him a strange look and whispered, "When the dragons don't have a mission, they won't be allowed to wander around the human world, and if you go back to Evta, then my sister will have a reason to go shopping." ”

When Luo Di heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Wrap it up on me, and I will definitely let her eat, drink and have fun when the time comes." ”

"Interesting!"

Alva stopped talking nonsense, waved his hand to Roddinefie, turned around with the report in hand, and flew away.

This conversation may give Roddy a lot of information, but the most important thing is that Nefi should not have to worry about Raciman in the future - to put it bluntly, with two dragons behind her, who would dare to find her unhappy?

"Let's go, go to Movent Academy. Roddy took Nephi's hand, and the two walked out of the manor, and after getting into the carriage, he suddenly asked, "Don't you have an impression of your father?"

"No, I don't remember at all. ”

Neffie hadn't heard Alva's words before, and she didn't realize the meaning behind it at this time: "I asked my mother when I was a child, and she said that I was different from others, and I didn't have a father at all..."

"No father?"

Roddy frowned, lost in thought.
