Section C Prologue: The Watchman's Eye (Deerno)

(Since this is the plot of Denor's coming to the Mage Academy, don't want to see "mentally normal" people)

Six o'clock in the morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Nafrea Continent, Adya City, Aidea Academy of Magic.

This is the closest continent to the Canolea continent where the Permafrost Lands are located, and the smallest continent in the Thirteenth World. It has a Golden Sands port on the western side of the continent, allowing it to reach the continent of Carolea by boat. (The knight and the mad dog first took this path)

Once there, head north to enter the Land of Permafrost. Today, however, the permafrost has been blocked by black ice. So Deirno had to stay on the ship for many days, looking around the North Sea in the Permafrost to the continent of Nafrea. After getting off the boat, it took a few more days to get to the city of Aidea.

This delay is more than ten days. In fact, it didn't take so long because ships were too scarce. If you go back, it will only take less than half of the trip, and you can catch up with the Frost Festival.

Seeing this bustling and magical place now makes Denor's veins get excited—especially when he's facing his alma mater.

It's finally back...... It's a pity that we'll have to rush back for a day at most, otherwise the longer we drag on, the more variable it will become...... Deenor was excited and sad when he suddenly heard something strange. Before he could raise his head, he suddenly noticed that a crow appeared out of thin air and landed on his shoulder.

What is this? Receiving the letter from the crow's mouth, Deerno was surprised to see that it had his name and that of the librarian written on it: Leo.

Before Deernor could react, he was disturbed to find that the crow had disappeared. What made him even more uncomfortable was that the fire paint on the envelope was a skull-shaped icon.

I wanted to open the envelope, but Deenor hesitated, but he didn't do it: it had his and the curator's names written on it, so it must have been for the two of them to read together, right?

In this case, it may not be polite to open the letter by yourself...... Thinking of this, he picked up the envelope and shook his head suspiciously: Who would send a letter like this?

Knowing that I came here to see the curator and deliver a letter, and the crows that recognized me so accurately...... It's all weird.

As strange as it should have been, Deenor quickly figured out the possible truth of the matter: could someone who knew me see me and start playing a prank? I know that I have a good relationship with the curator, so I can roughly guess who I am here to see......

Following this reasoning, Deerno thought confidently for a while and came to a conclusion.

...... That's not the case. It's. To say that the letter sent by the hooded man is still somewhat reliable, but ......

Deerno muttered inwardly, feeling extremely suspicious: Why did he send me a letter?

I don't have much to do with Lusha, and I don't have much combat power...... Obviously, I'm just a small character who often doesn't exist. What's the use of the hooded man staring at me?

It's because the person I'm going to hire is amazing...... Dereno felt hesitant and excited: all in all, the curator would definitely be of great help!

Not to mention anything else, the fire paint of this skull is too unlucky!

Although Deerno was distracted by the episode, it could not stop him from being happy. So he got up in high spirits and walked to the door.

"Yo, that's not ...... Who's that?" The gatekeeper put down the burger in his hand, looked at Denorn in surprise, and said, "Oh, I remember you! The one who graduated a few years ago, right? I remember calling ...... That who. ”

"Uh...... I'm Deerno. Very embarrassed to shake his hand, Deer no was a little surprised: "You know me?"

"That's right! People who have entered the mage academy but can't learn any spells are rare. The guard took another bite of the burger, stuffed his mouth full, and said vaguely, "Ahem...... I reckon the whole city knows you. You were a celebrity with us, don't you remember?"

"I'm so sorry I'm so shit!" Delno, in desperation, was in no good mood by the guard's words, and wanted to go inside. As a result, he hit a transparent mana barrier, causing his nose to swell for a while, and he began to cover the bridge of his nose and wail.

"Oh, you may have forgotten, Dereno. If you are not a student of the Mage Academy, you can't just enter it. Swallowing the last bite of the burger, the guard burped loudly: "Anyway, I'll help you inform, let's fill out the pass form first." ”

"Woo......" Covering his nose, Derno wanted to cry without tears.

At that moment, the guard snapped his fingers and lifted Deerno up with a gravitational imbalance and stuffed it directly into the guardhouse through the window. He himself clapped his hands, shook his body and flashed into the room.

"You, you're moving too hard...... "Got up from the ground weakly, and Derno was so aggrieved that he wanted to cry: "How can you be such a violent gatekeeper?"

"No way, I'm new anyway. Coughing, the guard pulled the teapot a meter away with magic, and controlled it to pour a cup of tea for himself and Denor: "I don't know how serious it is, there have been a lot of people complaining recently...... No way. There are always people who don't want to get out of the way and don't want to die, which makes me very embarrassed. ”

"Won't it be bad for you to complain too much?" Derno was speechless as he took the tea.

"The academy said I'm a temporary worker anyway, so it doesn't matter. The guard's face was full of pride: "It has nothing to do with the academy if something happens." ”

"No, I said you ......" Deleno choked on tea.

"I'm the Academy's magically created janitor!" the guard glanced at him, "What, you don't know me?" ”

"Poof!" squirted the tea out, and Derno's face was full of horror: 'You...... Who are you? Why haven't I seen it?'

"Hey...... Have you seen it this time?" the guard shook his head, turning into a large purple eyeball after a burst of orange light.

It was originally very popular in the academy, and it always carried some students to fly around and play.

What's more, because of his big appearance, his eyes are very cute, and he is favored by mage girls. Originally, Deerno stayed in the library every day, so he had a very good relationship with him.

...... But why are your words and deeds so annoying after becoming a human form?

"It's you!" Deirno was completely shocked: "That magic eye who has been in charge of monitoring the forbidden area?!Big Eye, how could you forget my name?"

"No, it's not. MONOCULUS turned back into human form and laughed, "I'm new." My brother is still in the library. Otherwise, I don't know what your name is? Anyway, I'm called the Gatekeeper, just remember. ”

"......" because he was tricked, Deerno's face stiffened, and he didn't know what to say at all.

So, they look exactly the same...... That dead old man is lazy again?

For a moment, he really believed. Because this guard looks like the big eyes in the library.

It seems to be a little smaller.
