scepter

Yannick tentatively asked Darwin a few words, and found that he was the same as before, showing off his pony feet from time to time in fawning, always trying to win him over to the faction of Archbishop Gustav.

He didn't tell anyone about this little episode, he just told everyone to prepare to go back to Port Jasmine after breakfast.

The elf had disappeared a long time ago. This was what the priest had discussed with him in advance. He left quietly so as not to attract others' attention. Even if someone wanted to make a fuss about it, Yannick could use the excuse that the elf woke up and escaped by himself, so as to get rid of responsibility.

The journey back was smooth, with almost no obstacles encountered. From Jasmine Port, there was a teleportation magic circle directly back to the capital of the Garter Empire.

Counting the tasks, they only stayed in Troon Town for half a month, and the speed of completion was amazing. Even Bishop Lahe was so surprised when he saw them.

Yannick briefly talked about the process of exterminating the blood race, and slightly exaggerated the contributions of Avery, Augustine and others, and finally handed him the magic bag containing the vampire fangs: "This is our extermination The number of vampires, please pass it on to the Holy See."

Ai Fuli and the others were listening, knowing that the silver-haired priest was taking credit for them, they couldn't help feeling ashamed and grateful.

Bishop Lahe opened the bag and saw that his jaw almost dropped.

There are at least forty or fifty pairs of fangs inside.

Originally, Anna knocked out more than these teeth, but Yannick felt that it was too exaggerated. If she really went back with those hundreds of pairs of fangs, those in the Holy See should be suspicious.

"Dear buddy, I really think of you differently!" Bishop Lahe patted him on the shoulder with a smile on his face. "With these things, those people must have nothing to say."

"Without your recommendation, it would be impossible for me to have this opportunity." Yannick knew very well the principle of reciprocating, no matter the East, West or other worlds, everyone would like this. "If things go well this time, it's all up to you."

Bishop Lahe was really happy when he said, "But Avery and the others are members of the Central Holy See, and they need to go back with me to report this matter in detail."

Yannick smiled: "Of course, I hope you all go well."

There is no need to travel long distances from the Garter Empire to the Central Holy See. There is a magic circle directly in the church that can lead to the Central Holy See. This kind of magic circle is very common in major cities, just like before they went directly from the Garter Empire to Jasmine Port, and arrived instantly. , It is even more convenient than the plane and train in Yannick's original world, this is the benefit brought by the magic world.Once there is a war or disaster in the location of the magic circle, in order to prevent those who are interested in using the magic circle to do uncontrollable things, the magic teleportation circle will be destroyed first in the place where the incident occurs. This was the case last time in La Serena.

Therefore, countries that establish magic circles with each other must be friendly and trust each other. Otherwise, if something happens to the other party, they deliberately do not notify you, or deliberately leave loopholes, allowing the disaster to spread through the magic circle, and there will be endless troubles. It is said that The Garter Empire and the Charlemagne Empire did not have a magic teleportation array. If you want to go to the capital of the Charlemagne Empire from here, you must first use the magic array to teleport to the border city of the Garter Empire, pass the border by horse-drawn carriage, and then use the teleportation array to teleport, which is more troublesome .

But Yannick doesn't care about these for the time being. What he wants to do most now is to go back to the beautiful new house he has lived in not long ago, and enjoy a leisurely vacation time.

The 2000 gold coins given to him by Bishop Lahe before departure, after various expenses, there are still more than [-] left. Bishop Lahe didn't say anything, and Yannick happily pretended not to know, and really experienced the pleasure of spending public funds in another world ——It’s cool to spend other people’s money!Anyway, the Holy See is rich and powerful, and the church of the Garter Empire is even fatter. There is really no need for him to worry about saving money for others.

The housekeeper Adam was very happy to see him come back, but complained a little: "Why don't you tell me first, so I can go to the church to meet you!"

Yannick smiled and said, "I'm not a big shot, why bother?"

After he got acquainted with Yannick, he knew that he had a good temper, and the two got along very well. The loyal butler Adam took care of the house as his own painstaking effort. Even if Yannick came back suddenly, the servants would soon be ready to take a bath Hot water and meals, everything is in order, and has not been disturbed by his departure.

Hot creamy mushroom soup, chicken cheese rolls, black pepper pork chops, lemon flower fried milk cubes, the food in this world tends to be Western food that Yanick knows, but there are many unique animals and plants in Olin continent, So the recipes are pretty much the same.

It's not that he never thought about bringing authentic oriental delicacies here, but after he didn't know how to cook and the taste of the chef's cooking was weird, Yannick had no choice but to give up this idea and concentrate on being a person who enjoys delicious food.

Food is currently attracting blood races that do not need to live on human food. The young bat is just about to move in his sleeve. As an upright existence, the black cat is much happier than the bat. According to Yannick's instructions, the butler has let the servant Help her divide up all the food and serve it in a separate dish for the kitten to enjoy.

After Yannick had eaten and drank enough, finished his bath, and sat at the long table with a cup of Blanca tea, he finally had the energy to listen to the butler's report on what happened after he left.

After Yannick left, the Imperial Capital Magic Association invited a female great magician named Besephone to give a lecture at the Imperial Academy of Magic, explaining the secrets of magic. At that time, the grand occasion was unprecedented, and the conference hall of the Academy of Magic was unable to accommodate 3000 people. However, many people still bribed the guards to sneak in and listen to it while standing. Dantonio and Aphra were one of them.

Usually after the speech is over, the speaker will stay to interact with the participants and answer some of their questions. This is a good time for self-expression. If you ask sharp or clever questions, you may even get a big magic Many common mages dream of embarking on the smooth road of magic learning through this method, so naturally they will not miss this opportunity.

This time is no exception. Many people have made a lot of preparations for this purpose, hoping to have the opportunity to ask a question, so that the beautiful great magician will take a fancy to them. The result is beyond everyone's expectations. The magician did accept a student on the spot, but it wasn't the mid-level mage who appeared the most on the scene, but the low-level mage Aphra with mediocre qualifications.

Aphra is now famous.

Being accepted as a student by a great magician means that there may be both fame and fortune in the future, and more importantly, the road to magic may go further than ordinary people.

But Aphra is neither talented nor has a prominent background. The only thing worthy of praise may be her diligence. Aphra, who has reached a high starting point, is a little at a loss. When going from Yannick to her teacher every day, she will always encounter all kinds of discussions and eyes on the road, and even noble mages will make things difficult for her, which disturbs her. Finally, He had no choice but to move out of the house and live in the teacher's temporary residence at the Imperial Academy of Magic.

It is said that this great magician will serve as a temporary teaching position at the Imperial Academy of Magic for up to two years. Aphra explained to Butler Adam that it is more convenient to learn magic by living there, and there is no need to run back and forth every day.

Butler Adam expressed his understanding and welcomed her to come back anytime on behalf of the host, Yannick.

"You have done a very good job, and the etiquette is also in place." Yannick praised after listening.

"Thank you for your compliment." The old butler bowed politely. "But the last time I saw Miss Aphra, she seemed under a lot of pressure."

"It's normal to have a lot of pressure. If you don't have pressure, you're a genius. Aphra's qualifications are mediocre. If you try to force her to pretend to be calm, she won't be able to," Yanick said.

From the unknown little transparent, suddenly there is a famous teacher who has attracted a lot of attention. With Afra's character, she must be walking on thin ice, cautious, worried that her learning ability is not enough, let the teacher down, and worried about the future My own qualifications cannot keep up with the progress required by the teacher.

She moved away from Yannick's house not only because she wanted to be closer to the teacher and more convenient, but also because Yannick was a priest and she was a mage. Although the Holy See and the Magic Guild now have a temporary cooperative relationship, but This relationship is superficial and fragile, and it is unknown when it will be broken. In private, the gap between mages and priests still exists.

With the current state of Afra receiving attention, she would of course worry that she would get too close to a priest and cause criticism.

Steward Adam also thought of this, so his affection for Aphra immediately dropped by a level.

Yannick laughed at this: "It's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. It's good that she didn't do anything that harmed others, and she doesn't need to be too harsh. What about Dantonio, he also found a teacher? "

Butler Adam: "After the speech, Master Dantonio went on a long trip. He said that he wanted to go around and increase his experience. It would also be helpful for learning magic."

Yannick felt a little sympathetic to Dantonio. He was frustrated in love and even in his career. No wonder he wanted to avoid acquaintances and go far away. I hope his luck will be better in the future.

He also wanted to ask about the recent situation of Sophia, Chris and others, when he heard a cheerful female voice coming from the door: "Butler Adam, I'm back!"

Steward Adam showed a wry smile at Yannick. Without Yannick's permission, he abided by his duties as a butler, put his master first, and did not move.

Instead, Yannick stood up in surprise and walked towards the door: "Sophia?"

The girl who was still dressed in a dashing riding outfit was taken aback for a moment, then screamed, rushed forward, and gave the priest a very strong hug.

Then the priest found that the woman's strength had grown again, and he was strangled by her, almost without apnea.

"You are finally back!!!"

"I know you are very happy, but you don't need to be so enthusiastic!" The priest showed the same wry smile as Adam's butler just now, "Actually, we haven't seen each other for half a month."

"I'm just so happy!" Sofia let go of him, a little embarrassed.

Yannick raised his eyebrows: "I seem to have heard you say 'I'm back' just now?"

Sophia felt a little guilty, and her eyes began to wander: "Yes... ah."

Yannick said: "Dear Miss Sophia, I'm not against you living here, your room is reserved here, but you are not homeless in the imperial capital, you always run here, your father knows, He would still think that I am abducting an unmarried girl!"

Sophia sighed heavily, walked around him and sat directly on the sofa, "You think I don't want to go back, I really can't stand my father, and he started introducing me to unmarried noble men from the imperial capital again, and it got worse, you know what he is doing?" Did you introduce anyone to me this time?"

Yannick joked: "Isn't it His Majesty the Emperor?"

"If His Majesty the Emperor wasn't loyal enough to His Majesty the Empress, I think my father would be very happy to send me to his bed!" Sophia rolled her eyes and slandered her father unceremoniously. "He actually tried to introduce Chris to me!"

Yannick: "..."

"Oh my god! I think you must understand how I felt at that time!" Sophia held her heart, "Don't say that Lord Chris won't like me, it's scary to think about the situation where I live with him, If my face was replaced with a parchment, I think he would be willing to give me a hand, right?"

Yannick laughed without sympathy: "Since the Earl has said so, you should try to get along with Chris, didn't I entrust you to his housekeeper before, you can take this opportunity to approach Him!"

Sophia gave him a blank look, with an expression of "Are you kidding me": "Your Excellency Chris came back from Santa Mar, just two days ago, and I stopped going to his house after that."

Yannick asked: "How is the situation in Saint-Mar City? Does the new drug he developed work?"

Sophia shook her head: "I haven't seen His Excellency Chris, but maybe not, otherwise there should be news. According to Steward Tico, His Excellency Chris seems to be in a bad mood."

Yannick raised his eyebrows, which was strange. In his impression, Chris only had a paralyzed face, and he never had a bad mood. "What happened?"

"I don't know, but I guess it may have something to do with the situation on the front line. I heard from my father that the situation is not very good recently. The people sent out to investigate in the city of Santa Mar have not returned, not a single one."

Yannick was taken aback for a moment, hearing Sophia's tone, there should be more to come.

Sure enough, she paused, and continued: "Then Santa Mar was not attacked by the undead again, but I heard that another city, Lantifer, adjacent to La Serena, was attacked by the undead, although it was earlier I was on guard, but fought a fierce battle, and many people died, and the investigators who were missing before appeared in the army of undead attacking the city."

Yannick's heart sank: "It sounds like there is worse news?"

"Yes." Sophia sighed with a heavy expression. "The most frightening thing is that those undead who used to be priests or mages still retain some of their magic skills after becoming undead!"

"Oh my god, this is terrible!" Butler Adam next to him couldn't help exclaiming.

"Yes, it's terrible!" Sophia smiled wryly. "No one knows what's going on. The only explanation is that the undead have mutated. They still retain the abilities of their bodies, but their souls have died."

Yannick frowned: "Can that city still be saved?"

"Landifer, you said? It should be ok. I heard that Archbishop Arthur Vaserich and Master Mulder Fan have all rushed over, wiped out most of the undead, and even captured a monster."

Yannick sat up straight: "And then?"

Sophia: "Then just a few days before your return, the news came back that the Holy See and the Magic Guild were at loggerheads over the ownership of this monster's research, and they are still arguing."

Yannick: "..."

The author has something to say: the undead evolves, and can use spells, and he is very happy. The funny feeling of being nervous and then suddenly collapsed ==
