The water hose was ticking and releasing water magic, and Hobbes put away the pill bottles one by one, looking up at himself in the mirror, his brows and cheeks haggard.

He has only been enrolled for less than half a year, but he looks like he is three years older, and his hair has a little more gray hair.

"It's just a necessary price......"

Hobbes didn't think about it, he raised his hand and looked at the ring he was wearing on his middle finger.

From the initial pitch black and translucent, the ring has now faded almost completely and become extremely pale. If someone perceives it carefully, they will find that the once strong and powerful spiritual power on the ring has almost run out of oil at this moment, and it seems that it will soon disappear.

"The time is almost up, Lianna, wait a little longer, and I'm going to succeed."

Hobbes bowed his head and clenched his fists, kissing the ring, and his tired and wavering gaze immediately became firm.

There was not much time left for him.

He is different from geniuses like Lucit and Leoz, maybe in the eyes of ordinary people, they are not outstanding, they are just ordinary students, but the ordinary people in this school, their talents are far beyond themselves.

With his own qualifications, it was extremely difficult to get into this school, and he could barely keep up with the progress with the help of drugs.

"We must persevere, for the sake of Lena and for the sake of this unjust world......"

Hobbes clenched his fists tightly, made up his mind, washed his face with water, and his mind became clearer, he pulled his cheeks, and returned to his usual appearance of being delicate and kind.

Walking out of the bathroom, Hobbs immediately received a message from someone else:

[Good buddy - Leoz]: "I got into a fight with Dialan in Arena 12, so you should go see Lucit first." ”

"This guy ......" Hobbes was speechless.

Although he persuaded him several times in private, and also hinted at the reputation of the 'Golden Princess', Leoz seemed to be very short of credits and couldn't care about it so much.

"No, Leoz isn't stupid, Diaran isn't a good girl, he wouldn't go to Dyaran for a mere 20 credits and that's the kind of thing that—well, is that Tu Meise?"

Hobbes pondered:

"Dialan is indeed very beautiful, and it is normal for young and restless students to eat this set - but in the future, let's introduce some normal female students to Leoz. In addition to having a good blood and beautiful appearance, in other places, whether it is family background or economic status, Dialan is really not good. ”

Forget it, Leoz may have his own plans, and when the time comes, he will definitely drag them to drink and spit out bitterness together, and as a good brother, it is better to respect the blessings.

Hobbes didn't want to lose such a pure friend.

After all, in this school, everyone has their own purpose and secrets, otherwise Lena would not have been murdered...... Those who are still able to remain innocent in some way, such as Leoz and Lusit, their friendships are too rare, too rare, and as precious as gems.

"Leoz has his own considerations, so there shouldn't be a problem."

Turning off the message rune, Hobbes was about to continue to the library to meet Lucit, when he had just taken a few steps when a female voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Excuse me, this classmate, can you disturb me a little?"

Hobbes turned his head and saw a veiled beauty walking towards him, a pair of snow-blue eyes slightly narrowed, like a crescent moon, truly interpreting what it means to be as charming as silk. She carried a lyre with her, dressed quite coolly, and had an extremely seductive voice, which seemed to be the more common bard in a small city.

This is a rare beauty - but beauty is not attractive to Hobbes, not only because of his attachment to Liana, but also because of the real beauty of Leoz, who kills both men and women, and has long been accustomed to it.

Hobbes asked kindly:

"You don't look like a student, what's wrong?"

"As you can see, the first time I came to your school, I wanted to visit a friend I hadn't seen for many years, but I didn't know where she was at the moment."

The bard said, a pair of snow-blue eyes blinking, conveying a look of distress.

Hobbes was indifferent, but asked, "Well, who are you looking for?" ”

"Nastisha Dantene." The bard said: "She has said for many years that she is an associate professor at this school, but she has not been in touch for too long, and I don't know if she is still here. ”

"Nastiza? That's the dean of our Academy of Magic Applications. Hobbes was slightly surprised: "It's just that how do I remember that when she was an associate professor, it was more than a hundred years ago......"

"Huh? Maybe I'm mistaken. The bard smiled and said, "Since you are the head of your college, you should know where her office is, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, you can find her on the map—but you can't find her now." Hobbes scratched his head.

"Huh?" The bard blinked: "What's going on?" ”

"Well, you must be an outsider, so I don't know."

Hobbes pointed to the sky:

"Although Triviera is the capital of the White Candle Star, the base of the Ministry of Education is set in outer space orbit. Every three months, they have to go to the Ministry of Education to participate in training, listen to the will of the highest meeting, and also submit their own faith reports to ensure that their materialist beliefs cannot be shaken - this is their training period, and they will not be able to come back for a week. ”

"Well, that's right." The bard held her chin, "The White Candle Star itself can only tolerate the upper limit of the powerhouses of the Zeta Rank, and a person of that level cannot live on the surface for a long time. ”

"yes." Hobbes shrugged: "The planet has a limit, and the strong person who surpasses this limit will also fall in strength and become unhealthy if he stays on the planet for a long time." ”

"Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

As soon as Hobbes was amazed by this, the bard immediately explained:

"I'm just a mortal, and I don't know anything about the path—but if that happens, wouldn't the White Candle Star have a powerhouse above the Zeta Rank?"

Hobbes sensed the other party's biological frequency, which is indeed the level of the gamma order,

"It's really a mortal, but a mortal can actually know a person of the dean's level, and it is estimated that it is also a related existence, so it is better to be polite." ’

Hobbes was very shrewd, and after figuring it out, he did not slack off because the other party was a mortal, but explained seriously:

"It's normal to have such fears - however, we can't have such a problem with White Candle."

"What do you mean by that?"

"The White Candle Star itself is only an educational planet, and there are no precious strategic resources to produce, which reduces the interest of many interstellar raiding groups."

Hobbes explains:

"Besides, the White Candle Star is the Minister of Education of the Kappa Rank, so even if there is an invasion of a strong person of the Chaoze Tower Rank, he can react at the first time."

"The powerhouses of the Kappa rank don't need to say much, right? Even in interstellar warfare, it is a very important strategic weapon, and with the power blessed by the stars, smashing the planets is as natural for them as eating and drinking. ”

"With this kind of prestige, which blind-eyed raiding group dares to come to the White Candle Star?"

This remark is very reliable, and the bard nodded:

"That's right."

It's just that between her words and looks, she doesn't seem to agree with this kind of statement.

Hobbes was perceptive, and saw that the other seemed to want to say something, and had a different opinion, but before he could ask, the bard waved her hand: "Since Nastiza is not there, I will leave today, and come back another day." Thank you, little brother. ”

"It's nothing, anyone you ask will get the same answer." Hobbes disagreed.

"Not necessarily." The bard smiled, "You're a nice man—in that case, take it as a thank you, and take it." ”

As if playing a trick, she took out a card from behind her and handed it to Hobbs.

Hobbes curiously took the card and looked at it carefully, it should be some kind of mysterious creation, something like an amulet, and the ancient words on it also seem to mean blessing and good luck.

When he looked up, the woman was gone.

"What a strange person."

Hobbes muttered and put away the amulet.

"I don't know, what is her relationship with Dean Nastisha Dantene - she says she hasn't seen the dean in years, and says that the dean is an associate professor - isn't she as young as she seems? But her aura is obviously mortal, how did mortals live for so long? ”

There is another point that he cares about very much.

When he said, 'What blindless raiding group would dare to come to the White Candle Star?' The bard looked at her for a moment with a look of doubt and strangeness.

What does that look like...... It's like saying, 'Are you kidding'?

But in fact, White Candle Star has never had to worry about such a thing.

The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't figure it out, and Hobbes didn't continue to think about it, it had already been delayed for a long time, and Lucit was still waiting for him.

……………………

White Candle Star orbits in outer space.

The fortress of 'Lone Flower' relied on the gravitational pull of the planet to levitate, and the White Candle Star rotated calmly three million meters above the ground, relying on the centrifugal force of the rotation, so that the mages and officials inside stood firmly in it.

The teleportation hall lit up with a glow, and after a brief flicker, Nastisha Dantain raised her head and calmly followed the surrounding mages into the hall.

"Hey, the most annoying time has come."

The dean of the Faculty of Foreign Relations, Master Karl Rufus, whispered:

"Every three months, nominally training, it is actually to check whether our materialist beliefs are shaken, to see if we have any tendencies to betray or break away from the Crystal Tower civilization. It's all about thought surveillance! ”

"Master Karl, you are too narrow-minded, this is a necessary means." Ye Wangnan, Dean of the School of Natural Ecology, smiled: "Those Night Butterfly Guys spread their idealistic superstitions everywhere, they must be completely defeated and their shrines swept into the dustbin of history, for which we make a little sacrifice, it is nothing." ”

"You don't really believe this kind of rhetoric, do you? It's all political correctness. Master Karl said and looked at Nastisha Dantene, "Eh, what do you think, Dean Dantene?" ”

"Me? It doesn't really matter how you look at it. Nastiza shook her head: "The Supreme Council has their plans, and it is better to believe in their deliberations than to believe in a steak." But now, they are really working to maintain our political unity. ”
