Chapter 55: The Deal from the Fairies (Seeking Follow-up)

"I really envy you, although Miss Jane is not in good health, it is a sure thing to inherit the title, and she has worked hard for many years."

Stark was a little envious and handed over the bounty for the crusade against the black goat cubs to Joshua, and at the same time he was very envious of Joshua's work as a pickle.

Why didn't this kind of good thing fall on his jade "Sword Saint"?

"Where in the world is there a good thing about pies, thank God for not having a discus fall on my face when the time comes."

Compared to Stark's envy, Joshua couldn't be happy.

Duke Eula had been away from Fei Lengcui for a while, and the probability of her coming back was much higher every day, and when the cold-blooded duchess returned, she saw a young man of unknown origin approaching her daughter.

If it weren't for the Godhead Fragment, he would rather retreat into the sewers right now to find out the whereabouts of the cultist.

But now there is one more thing to deal with, it is still related to Jessica, but this time it is not that the child has caused any trouble, but that the Tower Council is about to open, and the Blue Feather Mage Tower wants to select Jessica as the student representative.

This is of course a good thing, if Jessica can be the student representative, she will naturally be able to obtain the resource tilt of the Mage Tower, which can make her talent better played.

In order to provide Jessica with a better learning environment, Joshua also had a knowledge of the Tower Council between the Mage's Towers.

The so-called Tower Council is a contest of power between the major mage towers.

Humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, dragons, and the other four clans except the dragons all have mage towers to train magicians.

Over time, the major mage towers formed the Tower Council, and they coordinated ancient magic, cultivation resources, and lost ciphers...... It has also established a huge magician training system, which can reduce the cost as much as possible.

However, the distribution of these resources became a problem, and they finally made a rule to send outstanding students to compete with each other every three years.

Each clan chooses the strongest mage tower, and the last four mage tower students compete to determine the seat.

However, for such an important matter, the Mage Tower actually wants to give a place to Jessica, whether there is a risk in this, Joshua still has to ask in person.

Originally, Joshua thought that he would be able to ask Professor Rudolph to find out, but the dean on the other side of the Mage Tower wanted to meet him, so Joshua had to meet him.

But......

"Miss Jane?"

Joshua looked at Jane who appeared in the Mage Tower, and didn't expect to meet in this place.

Although the Mage Towers are nominally under the control of the Empire, they themselves represent the interests of most mages, and unless the Empire directly orders them, it is difficult for even the Duke to dictate to them.

Jane wouldn't have come here if she didn't have to.

"Joshua?"

Jane was also surprised that Joshua would come to this place, after all, the Blue Feather Mage Tower, as the top eight of the last Tower Council, had the status of a champion and needed to accept the challenge of other mage towers.

Whenever this time comes, how to manage those foreign magicians is a matter that the Mage Tower and the Duke's Palace must discuss.

"Looks like I've come at the right time."

Butterflies flutter and gather into the appearance of an elf girl, who is obviously the last to arrive as the host.

[It is a magic that uses light and water to reflect in the air to create illusions, and the ability to create butterflies with such a high degree of detail shows that he has a good grasp of the elements, and even Joshua can't help but look sideways at such a trick.] 】

Joshua shook his head, it was rare for the fate text to say a few good words, but the description of the latter "trick" still revealed its essence.

Joshua thought he couldn't do such a fine control of the elements, and maybe he could try it when he became an elite magician.

As for the identity of the visitor, the pair of pointed elven ears already said a lot of information.

"Long time no see, Lady Helen."

Jane gave enough respect to the elven magician in front of her, not only because of the strength of the legend, but also because of the name Helen.

The youngest forest ranger of the elves, and also a heretic of the elven faith.

For his own research, he made a big fuss about the Elders' House and made the elves jump.

If it weren't for the fact that her belief was not an evil god, and she also adhered to the characteristics of elves who love life and never experimented indiscriminately, she should have been killed by several elven apostles at this time.

Although no apostles were dispatched, Helen was still able to advance and retreat freely among the legends, which also showed her strength.

At the beginning, the war-torn Fei Leng Emerald was in ruins, and took advantage of the situation to accept this elven heresy, and on the condition of rebuilding Fei Leng Emerald, he later helped him build the Mage Tower.

This also makes the relationship between the two families not as stiff as in other cities.

"Jane, are you really seeing outsiders, or do you want to maintain the demeanor of an acting duke in front of outsiders?"

Helen grabbed Jane's face and began to rub it, and Maria on the side was not surprised and generally did not stop it, obviously the relationship between the two families was indeed good.

"Wait, there's still ...... here"

"It's okay, I can't find a good man with a mask all the time, so let's smile more."

Joshua was also pleasing to the eye watching the two girls fight, and as for the affairs of the Tower Council, Helen, the dean, was not in a hurry, so why should he be in such a hurry.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Helen had enough of playing with it, letting go of Jane's slightly red and swollen cheeks, and began to get straight to the point.

"Actually, the matter is very simple, that is, the Cangyu Mage Tower will soon face other Mage Tower challenges, and the candidates on our side also need to be confirmed by you as the parents of the students."

Two rolls of parchment came to the two of them, with nothing more than a disclaimer and any dangers they might encounter in the ring.

"This is just a precautionary thing, after all, this is just a competition and not a fight, once there is a human life, then you will lose the right to participate this year, obviously this is not in the interests of the Mage Tower."

Helen mainly explained the problem to Joshua, while Jane on the side signed it after reading it hastily, obviously not the first time she had signed such an agreement.

"Miss Jane is also a parent of a certain student?"

Joshua was a little curious, Jane should still be single now.

"Although this girl is not anyone's parent, she sponsors some potential civilians to study in the Mage Tower every year, and now many students are grateful for her kindness."

"Is there such a thing?"

Because of Jessica, Joshua also knew that studying at the Mage's Tower was not cheap.

Although Jane was the daughter of the Duke, she had to sponsor many students for school, and the cost was not small.

If you count the weekdays when she renovates old houses in her own name and gives emergency meals to poor families, there are even more.

From this point of view, Jane's good reputation in Fei Leng Cui does have a basis.

[The charcoal fire in the snow is a life-saving thing for some people, but for some people, it is easy to do, and exchange this cheap thing for a piece of sincerity and life-saving...... Joshua was going to die laughing at human stupidity. 】

Nothing to laugh at.

Joshua understood that what Jane was doing could indeed be a means for an aristocratic lady to buy people's hearts, and was it really a bad thing to use something that was not important to her to accumulate fame?

Some things are lighter than a feather for someone, but heavier than Mount Tai for others.

Even if Jane is doing this to set up a person, if this person can be set up for a lifetime, then what her sincerity is is not so important.

Zhou Gong fears the day of rumors,

Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the time.

Xiang made the body die,

Who knows if it's true or false in a lifetime?

"But is it really good to play Jessica in such an important game?"

Joshua naturally agreed to this matter, but what puzzled him was the attitude of the Mage Tower, and it was not a serious practice to let a student who had only been enrolled for a short time participate in the competition on behalf of the Mage Tower.

"Jessica's kid has a good talent, although he has been stuck in the probationary stage due to the problem of education methods before, but after this period of course, he is now a professional magician, and he can make some articles at this speed."

Helen included Jessica in the list, which naturally had to have a way to get close to Joshua, but as the head of a mage tower, she also considered it.

"I asked her to join the team so that she could lose as much as she could in the early stages."

Although Jessica is already a professional magician, she is indeed quite good among students, but it is unrealistic to shine in the Tower Council competition.

In that case, it is better to put it on the.

"As the top eight of the empire in the last Tower Council, Cangyu Mage Tower has the identity of being the champion, so you don't need to go to other cities to challenge the Mage Tower, so it's better to release a smoke bomb to others."

Obviously, Helen has a lot of confidence in the students of this generation of Mage Tower, and it doesn't matter if Jessica deliberately loses a game.

And when the challenge is over, the Mage Tower deliberately releases a weakness, who would have thought that this weakness would become a killer feature in the official match?

"But isn't it dangerous during the challenge?"

Joshua didn't understand Helen's train of thought, and even if he didn't understand how the Tower Council was going to go, it was obviously unwise to deliberately give up a chance to win in order to win later.

Those who are too lofty will surely stumble over the stubborn rocks under their feet.

"Don't worry about this, if you can become the top eight, the resources you will get will be much more inclined than the ordinary mage tower, and the gap has already opened up in this instant."

Helen certainly considered such a question.

There is already a resource gap between the top eight champions and other mage towers, and the participants are still students, which will undoubtedly widen this gap.

Not to mention that I haven't heard of other mage towers having any geniuses recently.

At the same time, the eight champions will not fight with each other, and the situation of the strong will always be strong, unless there are variables, it is difficult for other mage towers to defeat the top eight champions.

"I didn't pay attention to those miscellaneous fish, the real tricky thing was when the four clans fought in the follow-up."

Clearly, Lady Helen isn't looking to be on the challenge, but on making a splash in the final four-clan brawl.

Without looking at Jane's surprised look, Joshua also understood how unreliable this plan was, and the premise for participating in the chaos between the four clans was to become the first mage tower of the empire.

The difficulty of this matter can be imagined.

"Jessica is the hole card that our Mage Tower wins, and it is clear that you need your help in this."

"Me?"

Joshua didn't know why, if he didn't count the power of original sin, his magic skills were really a bit lacking.

"Of course, in order to prevent the leakage of information, I don't want to teach Jessica too much magic in the Mage Tower, so this job is going to be handed over to you."

Helen's purpose was finally revealed, and she lifted her long hair and approached Joshua, and the strong sense of oppression in her chest directly made Joshua take half a step back.

Although Anna will never lose to Helen in terms of figure, the impact of the loose nun dress is obviously not as strong as the slightly revealing clothing of the elf.

Fortunately, Joshua didn't react much after Charlotte's tights workout these days.

"Leave it to me? Is this ...... Unruly. ”

Joshua understood that knowledge was wealth for magicians, and teaching magic at will was no different from throwing silver or gold into the water.

Again, don't think that pie will fall from the sky.

"Of course, it is not without a price, Jessica's strengthening itself is a great benefit to the Mage Tower, and I have heard that Your Excellency once taught Jessica the initial Ohm Cipher."

"There is such a thing."

"Recently, I've picked up some ancient magic notes, and it's for those who need to be proficient in the original Ohm ciphertext, which is said to be related to the legendary Ohm Messiah."

Helen's bait was thrown.

If Joshua really had the inheritance of the Om Messiah in him, then it would be impossible to let go of this opportunity.

Although the churches of all parties do not call Om Messiah an evil god, their lineage and deeds will be sealed.

Nowadays, the most recorded record of this god of all laws is in the Council of the Tower, and as long as the Blue Feather Mage Tower can become the representative of the human race, then it means more information about the Om Messiah.

Helen believes that the other party will definitely take the bait.

"If you can use me, I'll ......"

"Then let's start now, I'll take your friend first."

After receiving Joshua's answer, Helen directly pulled Joshua away despite Jane's surprised gaze, and couldn't wait for the inheritance of the Om Messiah.

Praise be to you, God of Laws.

Ohm Messiah.

……

"Woo~"

Jane suddenly felt a pain in her chest, and she had some difficulty breathing.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"My chest hurts, and it's not the same feeling as before."

Although Jane usually feels this way, this time is different, she can be so sure.

"Maybe it's the feeling that something you like has been snatched away, Miss, you have to hold on to it in the future."

"Something you like?"

Jane was surprised.

Did she have such a good relationship with Joshua?

"Girls are always an afterthought, so if you don't understand, forget it."

Maria touched Jane's chest, knowing that there was not a single scar left there, but that the pain would take some time for Jane to endure.
