It's time for the holidays......

Christine narrowed her eyes as she looked at Professor Salrom on the podium, and a flash of surprise flashed in them.

Only now did she feel like she was a student.

After all, holidays are an important part of students.

Although the Occult Academy seems to be a force on the outside, the atmosphere here is very relaxed, and it does not treat students as strongly as other organizations outside.

It's more like a platform for display than power.

Among them, there have been various organizations that want to recruit students who have come out of the mysterious academy for a long time.

However, most of them entered some institutions of the empire under the arrangement of the academy.

But in fact, more of it has returned to the hands of the major nobles.

After all, the predecessor of the Occult Academy was the most famous aristocratic academy in the empire.

Therefore, a considerable number of students were the sons of nobles, and only a very small number were considered geniuses selected from among the commoners.

And now the Occult Academy has been traded into the hands of the Emperor.

Naturally, there will be many twists and turns, so the last time the emperor came over, he dealt with this matter.

How to ensure that the students of the academy can graduate from here safely, and then there is a way to obtain financial resources, so as not to let these students delay their cultivation because of this.

There are many more minutiae that are just as important.

These are all things that he needs to address right now.

Christine's gaze is leisurely, and the peace and tranquility in the classroom are in stark contrast to the thrills hidden in the shadows.

She felt that her time at the academy was a rare leisure.

Sometimes you don't need to think too much, just sit there and feel the time slowly pass the scale.

When your head is empty, you can forget the heavy things you carry on your shoulders for a while.

Christine feels that she is sometimes like an old man, occasionally feeling the vicissitudes of time and reminiscing about the memories of the first half of her life.

I closed my eyes slightly, and I was surrounded by the small noise of my classmates.

It seems to be talking about things in the middle of the holidays.

As the sons of a noble, they will face the responsibility of taking on a part of the family.

When talking about this, the tone of these people was slightly excited.

After all, when you take on the responsibility of a part of the family, it often means that you have a certain amount of power in your hands.

This is naturally an exhilarating thing for them.

But for those aristocratic girls, it is not very wonderful.

Because they are going to face their own marriages with other forces.

This means that you are getting farther and farther away from freedom, and you will end up in a cage that seems to be a large castle, but is actually a small one.

Thinking of this, many of the girls seemed to look at Christine.

They may be thinking in their hearts about whether Her Royal Highness, the princess of the famous empire, has the right to choose her own marriage.

At this time, although Christine noticed the gaze of these noble ladies, she did not move for it.

She was constantly scheming in her mind.

Now that the holidays have arrived.

Then it seems that he can also take this opportunity to leave the imperial capital and travel to other places.

Christine's heart suddenly moved.

She knew that there were many ruins that had not yet been opened, and that all kinds of things in them should still be there.

It's not that Christine herself lacks these mysterious materials, or mysterious treasures or anything like that.

After all, as a princess of an empire, no matter what, there will be no shortage of materials for her cultivation.

Especially now that she has regained her strength and her talent has gone further.

There will even be a downpour of resources.

What's more, Christine was originally the emperor's most favored daughter.

Even when he was young, he wanted to eat fish in the deep sea, so he built a huge boat to catch them.

Although this giant ship was built for another purpose, it was able to specifically fulfill his wishes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the emperor spoiled himself no matter how much he spoiled himself.

After all, he is not just his father, but also the master of an empire.

But Christine couldn't be content with just herself, she needed something to hide.

You must know that she also has her own power in secret.

And such a giant beast that can be called a gold-swallowing beast can't satisfy its appetite with its own things alone.

So she had to find a different way.

So Christine set her sights on the unexplored realms and relics.

In this way, you can also spread the tentacles of your own power out, instead of just rolling in the imperial capital.

As for where the power will settle, Christine has already chosen a few poor places in her mind.

After all, the poorer the place, the more tenacious the warlock is born, and it is often much better than the soft-footed shrimp around who have never seen a real battlefield.

Christine's eyes were slightly closed, except for the aristocratic girl with a dark face.

The other noble heirs were all in high spirits, with a little expectation in their eyes.

They have learned a lot from their elders since they were young, and now they are each gearing up to show their ambitions.

If only based on their spiritual appearance, they can indeed be called talents and arrogant sons.

But Christine was very scornful of these elites from aristocratic backgrounds.

She sneered slightly in her heart, not that she looked down on these people.

It's that the previous life has gone through too much proof.

These so-called elites will only bully and bully the defenseless and weak poor people who have no strength in their own territory.

When they arrived at the bloody battlefield, most of them were pale, and some of them were even weak.

Not even a complete spell can be cast.

And those who come out of the poor are much better off in this regard.

Perhaps because there are not many resources in the poor land, they can only be seized by strength.

After a long period of tempering, the combat effectiveness of the warlocks who came out was naturally very strong.

And there are many benefits to being a poor place.

The most important thing is that it only takes a few resources to win hearts and minds.

This is something that cannot be achieved by others who have seen the world.

To borrow a phrase from him.

It is to implement the policy of encircling the city with poor land, and slowly extend its tentacles to the entire empire.

Thinking of this, Christine glanced at Ji Yan, and saw that he seemed to be thinking about it too.

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, I was afraid that she would not be able to meet him again this holiday.

After all, he was going to travel through the empire and go to that poor land.

Thinking of this, Christine felt a little bored for a while.

Even the little excitement in my heart because of the imminent expansion of power couldn't help but decrease a lot.

……

Ji Yan on the other side didn't know what Her Royal Highness the princess was thinking, and he didn't even notice her gaze.

For Ji Yan, this holiday came at a very timely time for him.

Because he has something extremely important to do.

That's to go back to that one place.

Even if all this time has passed, he will always have to face it.

And his nominal brother, some of the content in his mouth also made him very concerned.

Judging by the meaning of his words, his mother in this life seems to be a key to open some door.

So what door will be opened with a human as a key?

This kind of family secret, Ji Yan himself has never known.

I think it's still my own humble status.

The mother in this life seems to be very important to the father.

But in his eyes, the mother's attributes as an object should be heavier.

And the child born of this item is naturally not favored.

He may not even have been considered his heir.

If it weren't for the fact that he really had his blood flowing in his body, he might have died early when he was a baby.

But even then, he left himself to be fed by slaves in the family.

This also answered some of the doubts in Ji Yan's heart when he was a child.

After this, the father retrieved the daughter of an earl's family.

And he and the woman's child turned out to be a few years older than himself.

But thinking of that time, Ji Yan didn't have much reaction.

In such a cannibalistic world, you can be born in a noble family and survive unharmed.

It's already a thing to be thankful for.

But before that, there is one more thing that needs to be done.

Ji Yan's eyes were slightly downcast, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

……

As the sun sets, the campus bell rings.

Then the calm atmosphere suddenly turned very noisy.

Cinderella hunched slightly, carefully avoiding the other students lest she be hit.

As for his two sisters, they don't know where to go.

This made Cinderella breathe a sigh of relief for a moment.

But they seem to have changed a lot lately, and although they have been talking about themselves, the things they have ordered are becoming less and less.

She didn't know what made her two sisters change so much.

Obviously, I rarely use the power of my eyes.

Cinderella thought with some distress that the unusual attitude of the two sisters had caught the attention of her stepmother.

And she firmly believes that she is playing tricks in it, and even finds trouble for herself from time to time.

This caused Cinderella to use the power of her eyes several times to hypnotize her stepmother.

But I don't know what's going on, maybe it's because the stepmother has a high patience for mystery.

She always got rid of the effects after a few days and then came back to her own trouble.

Cinderella felt a little helpless, but she didn't really have much emotion in her heart.

After all, I've long been used to it.

Accustomed to these family members treating themselves like this.

On the contrary, my father would buy some things for himself from time to time, which should be compensation for himself.

After all, as a father, he had to make compromises to his current wife.

Cinderella thought as she walked, and she suddenly felt as if she had some cowardice.

Obviously, he has gained strange powers, but for various reasons, he chooses to maintain the status quo.

Her gaze was a little dazed as she watched the crowd flowing past her.

Until a familiar figure passed by in his sight, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Then Cinderley stretched his hand and lifted the strands of hair that had fallen in front of him, looking tentatively over there.

Sure enough, it was him!

After seeing the familiar figure, Cinderella felt that the confusion and uneasiness in her heart had dissipated, and her emotions suddenly calmed down.

The girl lifted the glasses on the bridge of her nose to make sure they were intact, and then called him softly.

If it weren't for Ji Yan's current status as a mystic warlock, his hearing was much more sensitive than that of ordinary people, and he might not have been able to hear her voice and let it dissipate into the noise.

"It's you, long time no see......"

Looking back at Cinderella, Ji Yan stopped and showed a gentle smile.

The girl took a few steps forward and walked side by side with him.

"Strictly speaking, it didn't take long."

Amber eyes blinked slightly, and Cinderella corrected the mistake in Ji Yan's words.

Ji Yan was slightly stunned, and then explained with a smile: "It should be that I have experienced a lot of things recently, and I have lost some time." ”

"Anyway, how are you feeling about your recent studies? The university curriculum was different from what we had back then. ”

"It's okay, it's not that hard, it's just that I haven't seen anyone yet."

Cinderella glanced at the other party and teased Ji Yan a little.

"But since you've already entered there, then this outside study really won't be of much use to you."

"No, it's still useful, such as reminiscing about the atmosphere of the class or something......"

"How easy did you do in there? Don't forget what you have learned. ”

"Hmm...... Don't say it, it seems that some of them have been returned to the school......"

“……”

The two of them communicated so calmly, as if they were back in the old days.

Nothing seems to have changed between them.

"Cinderella!"

A shout stopped the girl who was talking to Ji Yan.

She sighed slightly when she heard the familiar voice, knowing that this was one of her two sisters.

"Where did you run after class?"

"None of us found your figure!"

The younger sister of the two sisters stepped forward and was about to accuse Cinderella as usual, when she seemed to remember something, and withdrew the insulting words from her mouth.

"You forgot ...... of our stuff"

"Sister, what are you doing?"

My sister was about to continue, but found that her arm was grabbed by her sister behind her.

When I was about to complain, I saw my sister constantly glaring at me.

Following her sister's gaze, she turned her head away, and her sister found Ji Yan standing next to Cinderella.

Her face froze suddenly, her gaze shifted, and she didn't dare to look at them again.

Isn't this the one who entered the Occult Academy?

I didn't expect it to be by Cinderella's side now.

My sister's lips opened and closed slightly, but she didn't know what to say.

Did you just have some rudeness?

Didn't leave a bad impression on him.

Will he help Cinderella get revenge on himself......

Countless thoughts flashed through my heart, and the more my sister thought about it, the more uneasy she became.

She suddenly became restrained, no longer resembling her stepmother's spicy posture before.

In the end, my sister stiffened a smile and said, "I'm dear...... Dear sister, keep talking, and we won't bother if we have something to do. ”

With that, he pulled his sister and quickly left Cinderella's sight as if she were almost running away.

Seeing this, the girl seems to know the cause of the abnormality of the two sisters recently.
