Chapter 157: Crossing That Step
Olavien put Merlin in the carriage and watched as the latter's figure disappeared into the night.
She decided to take the advice of the other party, and did not follow, and after a pause, she came to the gate of the Saint Laurent School of Magic, she had not been back here for many years since she graduated, perhaps because of her busy work, but this time she came back with many different things.
In the past, the campus was deserted and there were few people to see, but now it has become extremely lively, and many people may have forgotten the grand scene when Roland founded this school, when the situation was very similar to today, the first magic war started, and mankind was in a crisis of life and death, Roland taught magic in Guderis, announcing that all those with magician qualifications could come to the class.
It's just that after the war, with the increase in magicians, the Saint Laurent School of Magic, as the most prestigious magician school in the mainland, naturally has a higher and higher threshold for admission, and today, only those students who are considered geniuses can enter the Saint Laurent School of Magic.
Now, however, with the invasion of the Abyss Monsters, the situation of humanity has deteriorated dramatically, and the Saint Laurent School of Magic has once again returned to its traditions and opened her doors.
There is no tuition fee, and anyone with a qualification of D level or higher can receive a magical education here and become a magician.
The deserted Yves Saint Laurent School of Magic suddenly became overcrowded in just a few months, and the professors and teachers in charge of teaching had to find another place to accommodate more people to teach, or simply sit on the floor of the campus, full of young people chattering and practicing magic.
However, Olavien also noticed that most of the children on campus were just beginning to learn about magic, most of them had not yet reached the rank, there were very few first-order apprentice magicians, and even more so were not visible above the second order.
Olavien knows what the reason is, now the human world is basically in an emergency, and troops are needed everywhere to fight monsters, and the magicians have also gone from calling on adult magicians to participate in the war, to fully mobilizing teachers and students who are still in school to save their lives, and the Saint Laurent School of Magic, as the magic academy with the highest average quality of students, is naturally the first to bear the brunt.
Most of Olavien's brothers and sisters are now active on the battlefield, and the students of Yves Saint Laurent can be seen on almost every front, and they are known for their strong mental qualities, excellent strategic acumen, and strong magic, and are popular with all units.
And this also means that compared to the students of other houses, they are more likely to be sent to dangerous places, Olavian did not deliberately look through the relevant statistics, but from the battle reports received before, they can still get a glimpse of one or two.
The students of the Yves Saint Laurent School of Magic have probably suffered more than half of the casualties, and the first batch of teachers and students who went to the front line have almost all been wiped out, and there is not one in ten.
Today, Yves Saint Laurent's School of Magic still stands in the city of Gudres, but its faces have changed again and again.
Olavian found the person in charge of the management of the magic array, got in touch with the headquarters, and briefly reported the situation here, as expected, Lilith did not give any new orders, but just asked her to stay in Gudris for the time being, waiting for Rob to succeed in becoming a god.
Just as Olavien was idle, looking through the list of new students, she heard a commotion outside the hallway, the sorceress frowned, pushed the door out, and found that everyone was running out, so she grabbed one of the students and asked, "What happened?"
The latter was a little boy, and after seeing Olavien, he blushed before he could speak, and stammered, "I...... I don't know, but I heard that there is a change in the direction of the coastline, and everyone has run to the stargazing tower. ”
Olavian's first reaction was that Gudris was attacked by monsters, and during this time, the coastline cities of the human world have been under a high degree of tension, and they don't know when they will be attacked, and many people are sleeping with weapons on their pillows.
As early as half a month ago, Guderies also faced a wave of monsters, but because there were many magicians in the city and the city defense was strong, it didn't give those monsters a chance to take advantage of.
Olavi thought to herself, and walked towards the stargazing tower, but when she got there, she found that the stargazing tower had been sealed, and there was a teacher under the tower to maintain order, and it was said that the principal and the dean of academic affairs had hurriedly climbed the tower a few minutes earlier.
Olavien was about to reveal her identity and go up, but the next moment her eyes were attracted by the change in the northeast direction, even if she didn't go up to the stargazing tower, she could clearly see that about fifty nautical miles away, a dense dark cloud shrouded the sea, different from the dark clouds she usually saw, the dark clouds in that area were very low, almost connected with the sea level, and strangely they were still slowly rotating in a counterclockwise direction.
Such a strange natural landscape attracted everyone's attention, and Olavien was no exception, and the surrounding students were talking about where the dark cloud came from and what was behind it, but for some reason, Olavian had a sense of foreboding in his heart.
She thought of someone who might be able to answer her question.
............
Raphael Library.
It was closed four hours ago.
However, after the borrowers left, the library librarians stayed, and they were only told that there was something important tonight, but they didn't know what that important thing was.
After a dinner served by the library, they were left hanging in the hall and never seen the director again.
The latter was now standing in his office with his hands behind his back, looking at the dark clouds on the sea in the distance, and beside him was the previous director of the library, Donnasiu.
If Rob and Lolo were here, they would have noticed that the old man looked even older than when they had met before, hunched over with a cane.
"Are you going to start?" said Curator Nadal, with a rare hint of nervousness in his words.
Donnasiu nodded, "This is good news, it means that most of that guy's plan has been completed, and humanity has already touched the most important trump card, and only the last step is left." ”
Nadal took a deep breath and worried, "But it's not easy to take that step." ”
"Of course, but we don't have any hope in the first place, and now that we have the opportunity to touch the silver lining, what is there to complain about?"
"It's because I've come this far that I'm more nervous, are things ready?"
"Yes, now it's just a matter of waiting for your order. Donasius smiled, "I think the kids downstairs are already in a hurry." ”
"Then let's get started, the limelight of this battle can't be stolen by those magicians. ”
