Chapter 214: Knowledge and Power VII
Genius One Second Remember, for you to provide a wonderful novel to read.
In fact, the whole thing is obviously a misunderstanding. Emily's initial sentence of 'go back and think about it' was ambiguous, Jiao Ming didn't know enough about the ability of the eight-ring qi magician and Emily's speaking habits, and mistakenly thought it meant 'talk about it tomorrow', but he didn't expect that after eating and drinking, Emily actually quietly teleported back.
And Xia Feng's father, who had been on guard, already knew that Jiao Ming and Emily knew each other, so he naturally pulled him into the trust list, so it wasn't until he took Jiao Ming to the sky and left him behind that he showed up to snatch Jiao Ming. After all, Jiao Ming's contribution to the crocodile collar is obvious to all, and it is not okay to fall to death so inexplicably.
Emily and Xia Feng's father are not belligerent maniacs, and when they see that the other party also has the intention of reconciliation, it is naturally the best choice to solve the misunderstanding and turn the conflict into a jade silk.
"Below is the twenty-seventh heir to the Black Dolphin Marquis family of the Terco Kingdom, Emily, who is now teaching in the third class of the Qi Department of the Blue Python Kingdom's Advanced Magic Academy, may I ask Your ......Excellency" Emily dispersed the weightless space around Jiao Ming's body, let Jiao Ming in a coma collapse on the ground, and then slightly tidied up her dress, and performed the standard aristocratic ceremony while introducing herself.
After saying this, Emily saw that the dazzling effect on Xia Feng's father had not dissipated, and she was finally sure that this was a nine-ring powerhouse, so she had no extra thoughts. In fact, although Emily is not very experienced in combat, she is confident that she will not lose to the ordinary eight-ring water system magic warriors, after all, as long as she flies in the sky and arranges arrow protection, a magic warrior with only brute strength can only stare dryly. But the strong ones of the Nine Rings are different, and they will be defeated if they are consumed.
Xia Feng's father's eyelids jumped twice uncontrollably, but fortunately, it was dark around him, and no one noticed it, and then he had to bite the bullet and report to his home while returning the courtesy. The patriarch of the Marquis of Saburu's family in the crocodile collar, Saburu Sharp Hail
"It turns out that Zun is also a teacher at the Academy of Magic. After listening to the introduction, Alimi was even more relieved.
"It's a bad old man, of course his reputation in the school is not as good as your Excellency. Xia Feng's father smiled, and then made an inviting gesture, "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, why don't you go into the castle and talk about it, and presumably Your Excellency and Jiao Ming still have something to say." ”
Emily gladly accepted the invitation, but looked at Jiao Ming, who was standing on the ground next to her, and was slightly embarrassed. Xia Feng's father stepped forward and clamped Jiao Ming under his arm, leading Emily back to the castle.
So when Jiao Ming regained his senses, he looked around and found that he had returned to the messy banquet hall, and several seven-ring and eight-ring magic warriors, including Huang Xia Zimang's sister and brother, stood at the base of the wall, as if they were standing in punishment, while Emily was reading a manuscript of elementary mathematics on the other side, Evan Binglian and Xia Feng's father were sitting together, but no one spoke, and the scene was slightly embarrassing. The moment he saw Emily, a vague memory came to mind, and Jiao Ming guessed a rough idea and said, "That...... I'm awake, and of course if it's inconvenient, I can faint for a while. ”
Binglian was amused, and she was a little charming. The other three followed the trend and smiled perfunctorily. The atmosphere was suddenly relieved.
"Just ask your Excellency to chat with Jiao Ming, and we won't bother. Xia Feng's father breathed a sigh of relief, waved his hand and left with the rest of the people, and soon only Jiao Ming and Emily were left in the big restaurant.
"You crocodile leaders are very simple. ”
Emily was half exclaiming and half complimenting, at least not sarcastic.
"Thanks for the compliment. Jiao Ming smiled dryly, his hands and feet were slightly stiff, waiting for the following.
"I didn't expect you to study the Sage in such depth, this book is really eye-opening. Emily shook the math book in her hand, but carefully tucked one finger between the separate pages so as not to lose her reading progress. "And I heard Evan say that there is intermediate and advanced math behind this?"
"You've won a prize. Intermediate mathematics is available, but it is only half as advanced. Jiao Ming glanced around, and then suggested: "This is not a place to discuss knowledge, how about going to the creeper room?" I wanted to say, 'Go to my room', but out of respect for the strong, I changed it.
Xia Feng's father is usually quite low-key, although he lives in this castle together, Jiao Ming has only met twice so far, and from the cold situation just now, Jiao Ming believes that he is also an unsociable guy. At this point, Jiao Ming counted his fingers and found that all the eight and nine ring powerhouses he saw seemed to have one thing in common, that is, he was a little 'nerdy'.
Whether it is Emily, Father Xia Feng or Duke Crocodile, although they are in a high position, they do not have the strange smell of high-ranking officials and dignitaries on the earth. On the way back to the room, Jiao Ming couldn't figure it out, but he figured it out the moment Emily leaned on the vine and revealed her little inside.
The mages of this world correspond to the Earth, and are not equal to officials and nobles, but scientists.
In this world, the ascending path depends to a considerable extent on absolute personal force. A nine-ring magician does not need to accumulate experience in handling government affairs, or the skills of communicating with people, he only needs to study magic to rise to a high position, which will naturally give people the impression of 'stupid'.
In other words, if the earth were to run according to the system of this world, a university professor who specialized in academic studies could become a feudal official or a member of parliament directly and without any checks and balances, regardless of all his life experience or character flaws.
And not everyone in such a group of people has superb political skills and calling and incitement, and political skills and calling and incitement cannot improve the number of rings, and their role in improving power is limited.
The reason why Jiao Ming was thinking about these things was because he couldn't keep up with Emily's train of thought at all, but he couldn't interrupt the inquiry, so he could only hum and act as an echo worm. Until the sleepiness caused by drinking the potion of magic addiction strikes again, Jiao Ming falls headlong on the bed, and Emily seems to be full of interest in studying the vines in the room.
......
When he woke up the next day, Jiao Ming found that there was no one else in the house, and although the vines were disorganized, there was no gravity disorder in the room. Because he slept in a kimono, he was very uncomfortable, and his clothes were so wrinkled that he couldn't see anyone at all, so Jiao Ming had no choice but to summon Luohua and put on another set of spare school uniforms. Wash up breakfast and ask Xiaoshi how she sleeps.
"Of course it's no problem, I slept with it in my arms. Shining scales answered directly for Xiao Shi. Jiao Ming tilted his head and stared at the flashing scales, feeling that this little guy had the potential of lace edges.
Then he went to school with Binglian and Evan as usual, but Binglian's face was quite bad, which made the atmosphere in the entire carriage cool down. Jiao Ming guessed the reason after a little thought, and after inviting Evan out with a wry smile, he finally coaxed Binglian to smile in front of the school gate. But then, neither of them could laugh, and the entire Advanced Magic Academy was actually suspended.
The doors of the four teaching buildings were all closed, but the entrance of the administrative building was full of people, including students and teachers, as well as people from outside the school wearing the magic robes of the Magician Association, who were noisy and couldn't hear what was being said, but there was no fluctuation of the magic medium, and there should still be a long way to go from the whole martial arts.
This advanced magic academy does not have dormitories, and students with housing problems are at their own expense. Most of the students live in the city, or live in relatives' homes, or borrow to live in the family's old home, and they arrived at school earlier than the three of Binglian, and they already know what happened. So Binglian quickly found someone she knew and asked about all the news that was circulating.
"It's the alchemist who wants to shut down the magic academy in the name of investigating spies. ”
Jiao Ming was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered that there was still a group of enemies in the 'Alchemist Lineage', and seeing that Binglian hadn't finished speaking, he took the opportunity to ask, "And then." ”
"It's such a big fuss, how can I catch the spy, so this should be just an excuse, and the real purpose is still uncertain. Binglian shook her head, frowning and pondering.
At this moment, there was a loud uproar from the crowd blocking the door. Words such as "impossible ......" and "how can it be ......" came out, and the three of them also learned the latest developments: the spy had just been captured at the home of a teacher.
"This ...... It's still really prepared, and it's not good. Jiao Ming sighed. Naturally, the matter of catching a spy cannot be publicized in advance, and the alchemist must have already mastered the conclusive evidence with such fanfare, and only acted after a perfect strategy, that is to say, there is enough time to think about how to make the most of this espionage case. It's like in a game, it's not uncommon for a character to be attacked by an enemy's long-planned squatting guard, and to be taken away by a set of combos.
Binglian could also think that the alchemist would not give up, but she was very happy: "This may not be a good thing for our crocodile leader, you must know that the reward for sending troops is 'imparting knowledge', and if the school is closed, you can notify your father to paddle again." ”
Jiao Ming rolled his eyes when he heard this, this kind of front line with ghosts, if it can win, there will be ghosts, but then he found that Evan was staring at the crowd not far away without saying a word, and his expression seemed to be smiling. "Evan-san, you're a bit of an anomaly. ”
Evan paused slightly, then said, "Sorry, distracted. ”
Jiao Ming and Binglian looked at each other, and their eye contact added three points of suspicion. Evan's reaction was a little intense, not a reaction to being distracted in a casual chat between acquaintances, but a bit of a thief's heart. However, the two of them were not completely sure, and they did not want to inquire deeply, after all, Evan had hidden his family background and traveled abroad, and it was not surprising that he was a little secretly involved in this matter, and instead discussed how to spend this morning without class.
"The library, of course. Evan laughed.
"I'm going to find Master Emily. Jiao Ming also has something to do, and he is even a little glad that he doesn't have to face the old face of the head teacher, Ms. Kexi. Binglian originally wanted to drink tea and chat with a few acquaintances to get emotional, but after listening to Jiao Ming's words, she immediately changed her mind and said that she would go together.
"The affectionate appearance of the two is really enviable. Evan's eyes were complicated, but his mouth was full of praise. Binglian let go of the arm she was holding and said with a smile: "With your conditions, it's not easy to find a girlfriend?" Evan just smiled, didn't take the topic, said goodbye to the two of them elegantly, and walked towards the library with Dieda.
And Jiao Ming and Binglian realized that they didn't know where to go to find Master Alimi.
"I don't know where my master lives, you are really derelict in your duty. Binglian scolded with a smile.
"I don't know where my husband's master lives, and you're also derelict in your duties. Jiao Ming retorted, taking advantage of it by the way.
Binglian was stunned for a moment, and then pinched Jiao Ming's big arm with a red face. The two laughed and laughed for a while, and then decided to go to the library and wait, after all, this is the place where Emily is most often seen outside of class.
Sure enough, when it was close to noon, Emily walked into the library, and then without waiting for Jiao Ming to go up to talk, she fell asleep on the table, drooling. Jiao Ming had no choice but to wait next to read a book, first, to ask about the research results of the creeper and ask about the content of today's homework, and second, to prevent others from taking advantage.
After all, due to the closure of classes, the number of people in the library was several times higher than usual. However, as the eyes around him increased, Jiao Ming always felt that he had suffered a loss, so he teleported a blanket from the castle room to cover Alimi's delicate body. Feeling that the eyes around him not only became the target of himself, but also his emotions became angry, Jiao Ming felt much better in his heart.
At noon, Alimi woke up slowly, ate with Jiao Ming and the others, and heard the latest news in the cafeteria: classes were suspended for three days.
"It's only been three days, and I thought it would be more. Binglian pouted. Dissatisfaction was overflowing: "The alchemist's vein is really a waste, it can't be done to assassinate me, and this little thing can't be done." ”
"That's a bold statement, I like it. Emily laughed.
In the afternoon, he went to the library again, and when the library was about to close, Binglian and Evan were called out by the servants one after another, and on the carriage back to the castle, Jiao Ming also learned the final result of the Magicians Association's handling of the espionage case.
The three-day suspension of classes is just a time for the preliminary review of the teachers and students of the whole school, and after the resumption of classes, suspicious people will be interrogated from time to time, and what is even more disgusting is that the upper limit of the scope of knowledge imparted by the Advanced Magic Academy has been lowered, after all, this is suspected of being an enemy.
"The alchemist line is obviously not as wasteful as you think, and their goal is not to suspend classes, but to this high-level magic academy. Jiao Ming sighed. Ice Lotus nodded silently, then turned to Evan and asked what new news he had received.
"It's just a factional struggle within the Wizards Association, such as the alchemist line and a few small and medium-sized forces. Evan shrugged, as if reluctant to dive into it.
Jiao Ming smiled heartlessly: "How do I feel that the internal fighting of the Magician Association is more exciting than the front line." ”
The other two couldn't laugh at all when they heard this, Binglian shook her head and said nothing, Evan sighed softly, and then started a different topic: "In addition, Vice President Sasu also said something personally. Evan's gaze swept over Jiao Ming, and he continued, "At the opening ceremony of the Advanced Magic Academy next year, the freshmen will stand and listen to the training. ”
Jiao Ming and Binglian looked at each other, not understanding what Evan meant by mentioning this unrelated matter.
"Why?" Jiao Ming asked.
"It's to show the enemy confidence in the Academy of Magic. Binglian guessed. After all, Vice President Sassou's request for next year's entrance ceremony also implied that the High School of Magic would definitely last until next year.
Evan smiled slightly and said, "Maybe, but the vice president's exact words are because there are students sleeping at this year's opening ceremony." "Mobile phone users, please browse m to read, a better reading experience. [.]
