Chapter Twenty-Three: Spend Your Life at Leisure

"No, I don't know. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info don't rush to conclusions, although that is indeed the most likely point. ”

"I don't know much about magic," Magellan shook his head, "I'm afraid I'll leave that to you, Grand Wizard Granger." ”

The two laughed together, and Granger had gained a lot in the Goblin Nation, almost certainly earning the title of "Grand Mage".

"In any case, I don't think there's any need to worry about any knights anymore, Breton is the king's Bretonia, and the glory of science doesn't shine there. ”

"Are you really not worried? You know, the Pope has a protector named Elizabeth. ”

"Elizabeth the Great has praised Cardinal Richelieu more than once, look at the new laws she has issued, what does the civil law say," Magellan stood in the center of the room with open arms, making a solemn look, "If a priest hits someone, he will also pay a fine, although the emperor has a good relationship with the pope, and he paid the fine in advance for the priest." ”

Professor Granger leaned back and forth, and didn't even notice the wine in his glass spilled on his clothes: "You're such a talented comedian, Professor Magellan." ”

"Thank you, thank you. "Magellan does what the actors do when they take a curtain call.

"Seriously," said Granger after a long pause, "what if Elizabeth the Great stood with the Pope this time?"

"All the pirates of the world are my friends, because I pay taxes to Emperor Ludwig II of Brittany. ”

"Hmm......" Professor Granger raised an eyebrow, "the Emperor must be glad to hear you say that." ”

......

221B Baker Street.

"Wow, let's see who's coming, Granger the Archmagician's friend, the hot archaeologist, Professor Magellan!"

"Why do I see you at Sherlock Holmes every time I come, Arthur, do you have no money to eat?"

Arthur almost jumped up from the couch: "Dinner at Detective Holmes's house?!"

"Don't even think about it, you're going to be poisoned. Holmes slowly snatched Arthur's lines.

"yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say. ”

Magellan walked into the room and sat down on the sofa: "I thought it would be ...... to get a warm welcome here after escaping death."

"Isn't it enthusiastic enough?" said Arthur, sitting on the couch and handing Magellan a cup of black tea, "from the Far East, the homeland of your ancestors, Professor Magellan." ”

"I guess," Magellan said, taking the cup, "your next sentence is, can you introduce you to the Grand Wizard Granger." ”

"Ah, your wisdom is as stunning as that of St. Desmarcus. ”

"Well, that is, my head is about the same as the most powerful man of 2,000 years ago. ”

"Don't worry about the details, how are the Grand Wizards of Granger, are they easy to get along with?"

"I don't know," Magellan shook his head, putting his sip of tea back on the table, "and thought Professor Granger was a big beauty." ”

"Haha. Holmes let out a dry laugh on the couch that made Arthur almost jump in anger.

"Forget it, you probably don't understand, Sherlock Holmes, there are many great things in ancient magic," Arthur sat back on the couch and pointed to Holmes, "not much worse than your inventions." ”

"That's true, but it's not a big deal. In ancient times, there was no theory that ordinary people could understand and find criminals. Sherlock Holmes highlighted a smoke ring, and added the last sentence to the tone of the following conclusion, "Modern people are better than ancient people, and rightfully so." ”

"But unfortunately, your theories won't help me catch more valuable fugitives, Sherlock Holmes. Arthur continued to smile flatteringly at Magellan, "Did you find anything useful in Archmage Granger's collection?"

"Nope. ”

"Huh?" Arthur was stunned by Magellan's blunt answer.

"The Faculty of Magic at Royal Trinity does have a repository of artifacts, but as far as I know, none of the professors have a personal collection. ”

"Ah, do you know that......" Arthur suddenly looked weak.

"You believe it?" said Magellan, surprised.

"You lied?"

"Nope. ”

Arthur didn't say anything, just shrugged.

"So, how's our hunter recruitment going?"

"Don't talk to me. Arthur waved weakly.

However, Holmes showed a rare look of interest: "It's already started, and no one has reached the finish line yet, but I'm looking forward to it." ”

When Magellan thought about what Holmes had done in the past, he couldn't help but have a bad premonition.

"Hope everything goes well......"

......

Life in the academy was very leisurely, and Magellan, who had escaped death, had entered a temporary "hermit" state as before, but this time it was different from every previous time, and Trinity College met all his needs.

Sir Cook, who had returned before him, always complimented him in front of others, especially when he was running for a new archaeological team. Colleagues in the School of History were pleased to see new developments in their Academy's relationship with the School of Magic, and a large part of this was due to Magellan.

Professor Cook gave Magellan most of the task of sorting out the last archaeological findings, because he was too busy with the big names to have time.

Going to bed early and waking up early every day, immersed in the material, Magellan felt that there was no better life for him than now.

The last archaeological team brought back a lot of information, and Magellan synthesized it, plus some old information, and gradually had some conjectures about the place where the last excavation was made.

One fine morning, at a dinner with several professors at the Academy of Magic, he came up with his conclusions.

"There is no doubt that it was once a large oasis and held a very strategic position, I agree with Sir Cook, but the archaeological team was in the wrong place. ”

Among the several professors of the Academy of Magic, including Professor Granger, an acquaintance in the history of magic, and several were professors of ancient magical objects and church magic.

"We have all heard that Sir Cook was not in vain, and that he had found farm implements, which was proof of the presence of important ancient ruins in the vicinity. ”

Yes, that's actually the most convincing evidence of my point. Actually, that place is, the Holy Land of Three-Legged, in the Eastern Fortress. ”

Several professors from the Academy of Magic looked at each other in amazement: "It is also called, Fort St. Caispe, but the most well-known name is, Fort Red Lake......"
