Chapter 57: Conscription
"Brother-in-law!
Neil had barely walked to the square when he heard the familiar voice of William Merlin. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 infoWilliam Merlin, this guy arrived at Glory Square one step ahead of Neil, and he set up a position for Neil in advance.
Neil looked at Glory Square and sighed in his heart. Although there is a supernatural power like a magician, the scars of the Great War have long been erased after the invasion of the Night Wolf Clan. New buildings are erecting and are showing a lot of vitality everywhere.
However, the number of students in Glory Square still exposed the decline of the academy. Some of the students were innocently affected when the night werewolves attacked. And more of them chose to leave. At least, half of the students who met the graduation requirements chose to leave the college. Even, there are many aristocratic young masters and young ladies who chose to leave the academy even if they did not meet the graduation requirements.
Thinking of this, Neil couldn't help but shake his head, and secretly sighed that the tree had fallen and scattered. However, Neil has no intention of leaving the academy. At least, he wouldn't think about it until he became an archmage.
The strength of the intermediate magician is still too weak, and in this world full of dangers, it is difficult to get mixed up. In particular, Neil knew the current situation of the academy and knew that the opportunity was imminent.
With the help of the old prophet, Orunini was able to recover his chaotic memories. And a very important part of his memory is the treasure of King Mossa.
It was King Mossa, one of only eight kings to conquer the Forest of Despair for countless years, and the closest king to Neil's current time. The value of the treasure he left behind is immeasurable.
The main thing is, as Orunini said, that the treasure of King Mosa is hidden in the Abyss plane. He didn't know exactly where it was, but as long as he had a target, it would be much easier for Neil to find.
Originally, Neil would not have been able to enter the Abyss Plane, if the academy was still as powerful as before. However, now that the academy had suffered such heavy losses, Neil felt that it would be difficult for the academy's current mentor to have a chance to gain an advantage in the battle against the natives of the Abyss Plane. Even if the academy's garrison in the Abyss Plane didn't suffer a single loss, it wouldn't be easy.
Thinking of this, Neil sat quietly in his chair and waited for the upcoming plenary meeting.
"William, do you know who Gal Tulip is?" Neil suddenly remembered the white-haired killer Matt he had just met on the road, and asked casually at William Merlin. William Merlin, as a prominent figure in the imperial capital, should be familiar with these things.
Sure enough, when William Merlin heard this, he said, "I know, the second young master of the Tulip family, the second brother of Miss Tulip." She has been a member of the academy for five years and is very sought after by the female students of the academy. It is said that he has been out on a mission for some time and has just returned. What are you asking for? brother-in-law. ”
"No, just ask. Neil secretly wiped a cold sweat, but fortunately he didn't put a heavy hand, otherwise Anna would be embarrassed. However, that Gar tulip probably won't come to him for no reason, right? It seems that the next time I meet him, I will have to ask carefully.
"Oh. Although William Merlin replied indifferently, his heart was not at peace. While looking at Neil from time to time, he lowered his head and sighed.
Actually, what William Merlin was thinking: "Well, my brother-in-law is inquiring about Miss Anna's family history, and it seems that my cousin's chances are getting smaller and smaller." No, I'll have to help my cousin find a way. What should I do・・・・・・"
Neil didn't care what William Merlin was thinking, and pulled out a magic notebook with all the magic spells he had copied in the library. There are not only elemental spells, but also summoning, spiritual, and even necromantic spells. However, most of the spells he hadn't mastered yet. It's not that Neil doesn't want to master, it's just that he doesn't have that much energy.
Neil's magical talent is one of the best, with high-intensity spiritual power, the elemental affinity of the whole system, and the two mysterious traces of life in the spiritual space, magic boiling and spiritual boiling. However, even so, Neil felt that learning magic was too time-consuming.
Magic spells are not like ordinary verses that you can memorize after reading them twice. Magical spells are written in ancient texts, and there are even many spells in other languages, such as Ares, Elves, and so on. Moreover, magic spells have a mysterious power, even if you have memorized every character and syllable of it by now. If you don't review the mantra from time to time, it will gradually disappear from your mind.
So, Neil kept all the spells in a notebook, and when he was fine, he read them. Of course, these are spells below level four. The academy will not put spells above level 5 in the library at random. You must know that every spell above level 5 is very expensive.
At this moment, a chubby familiar figure stood on the podium.
"Students, I'm Sementapo, and I'm sure you all know me. The disaster half a year ago was experienced by many of you here. We are all deeply saddened by that disaster. Let us pay a moment of silence to all the teachers and students who sacrificed their lives for the college in this disaster. ”
Speaking of this, the chubby headmaster made a silent salute, and the students below also performed a silent salute. Neil was genuinely saluting, although his soul was from another world, giving him a faint sense of isolation from everything in this world. However, having witnessed the war that night, he was still full of respect for the teachers who fought desperately for the sake of the academy.
After a while, the headmaster continued: "But now we can't just be silent. The Academy will continue to exist, and it will become even stronger. Now, it's time for you to contribute to the Academy. ”
The headmaster paused and looked at Anse El next to him. Anse El stepped forward and said, "I'm Anse Elle, the librarian. I would like to announce my decision: the Academy has decided to recruit you to form a Dimensional Legion to participate in the Academy's next war in the Abyss Plane. Of course, whether or not to participate in the Plane Legion is voluntary. However, the Academy has decided to go all out to recover the Abyss Plane, so everything here will be moved to the Abyss Plane. In other words, if you don't want to join the Plane Legion, you can only leave the academy temporarily. Well, that's all. This concludes our business for today. If you are willing to participate, you can sign up here, and if you don't want to, just leave on your own. ”
At the end of the sentence, Anse El couldn't help but shake her head. Think about how powerful the Imperial Academy of Magic was half a year ago. But now, there is not even a single doorman. It's not that I don't want to have it, it's that I don't have manpower.
Originally, Anse El felt that the loss of the Abyss Plane should not be too heavy. However, more than a month ago, after the successful reconstruction of the plane path, he led the counteroffensive force formed by the academy to enter the abyss plane, and only then did he know how bad the situation was.
The original ally, the Winged Terrans, became the leaders of the counteroffensive forces. led the goblin and the undead to launch a fierce offensive. In addition to the Flame Fortress, the largest stronghold attacked by the Night Wolves, there were originally seven fortresses, but now, only one fortress remained. Had it not been for the timely support of Anse El, the last fortress would have fallen.
Now, it's really a matter of life and death for the Imperial Academy of Magic.
