Holy Institution

Towards evening, the carriage finally drove into a strange city.

Dilling looked curiously at the buildings on both sides.The buildings of each country in the Dreamland have their own styles, and the top of the buildings in Senliska likes to use domes.Looking at the domes of different sizes on both sides, he knew that he was still in Senrisgar.

The carriage stopped in front of the largest building on this street.

Hyde opened the door and got out of the car, and Dilling followed behind him.

The coachman drove away with the carriage.

"Is this the destination?" Di Lin couldn't help asking after holding back for a long time.

Hyde squinted at him, "Do you want to make this your destination in life?"

The destination of life?Sounds like you're talking about a cemetery.

Dilling shut his mouth knowingly.

The two walked to the gate of the building one after the other.

This is a very imposing gate, and the representative symbols of the four elements are painted on the gate.

Dilling pursed his lips twice.

Heiden explained without looking back: "These symbols are only for decoration."

Dilling asked curiously, "Why do you use elemental symbols to decorate the door?"

"It's better than a portrait of the head of the magic guild."

Dilling quickly realized, "This is the magic guild?" Shamanlier also had a magic guild, but he was not qualified to go there at that time.

Hyde raised his hand and lightly brushed the black crystal next to the door, and the door opened automatically.Dilling walked in after him.

The inside is not much different from an ordinary hotel.

A long, old counter blocks most views.Sitting behind the counter was a middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s, propping his head on one hand, drowsy.

Heiden tapped lightly on the counter with his fingers.

The middle-aged man sat up immediately, "Is it time for supper?"

Hyde said, "No, it's only dinner time."

The middle-aged man stared blankly at him, "I've already eaten dinner."

"But we haven't eaten." The weird topic actually continued during the question and answer between the two.

The middle-aged man finally realized that something was wrong.He looked at Heidein, then at Dilling, and asked in surprise, "Who are they?"

Hyde turned the ring on his right hand.

Due to the dim lighting in the room, the middle-aged man couldn't see the totem on his ring clearly, so he had to take out paper and inkpad and put them on the table.

Heiden lightly pressed the surface of the ring on the inkpad and covered it on the paper.

"This is..." The middle-aged man carefully identified it for a long time, and then took out a book that was so worn out that he couldn't see its true colors for comparison.

Dilling had never paid attention to the decorations on Heidein's body, so he knew for the first time that his ring had the function of representing his identity.

"St. Padres... Academy of Magic?" The middle-aged man raised his head in surprise.

Heiden said, "Your pronunciation is very accurate."

"Oh. You, oh no, what are you doing here?" The knuckles of the middle-aged man holding the book turned slightly white.

"Dinner." Heiden said, "I told you from the beginning."

The Magic Guild and St. Padres School of Magic have nothing to do with each other except that they both have the word magic in their names.However, due to the special status of St. Padres in Dreamland, and the top magic talents they have never lacked or lost, all previous magic guilds will unilaterally include them in the guild's territory.Any magister or student who bears the St. Padres School of Magic logo is treated like a member of the Magic Guild—even better than ordinary members.

For example, Heidein and Dilling now have two very comfortable rooms and a sumptuous dinner.

The person in charge of the Magic Guild in Senrisgar even rushed over from the capital immediately with a magic circle.In fact, he had just breathed a sigh of relief for all the teachers and students of St. Padres to go back to St. Padres College by boat. Unexpectedly, within a day, two more fish slipped through the net.

After Heiden and Dilling finished their meal, he saw him standing outside the door with a smile on his face, "What are you doing here?"

His opening remarks were as uninspiring as the receptionist's.

Heiden hooked his fingers towards him.

Although the person in charge was displeased with this contemptuous attitude, he still walked over obediently.

"I want to check a person's record." Heiden said.

The person in charge asked cautiously, "Who?"

"Vincent Lin."

The person in charge said: "Is he also the tutor of your academy?"

Hyde thought for a while, "It used to be."

The person in charge said: "If it's convenient, can you provide some information about his background?"

"He used to be my mentor." Heiden said slowly.

Dilling was taken aback.

This feeling is like knowing that a very powerful monster actually has a period of tooth change in childhood.

"Then what's wrong with him now?" The person in charge looked at him, secretly calculating the age of the first teacher.

"That's exactly what I want to know." Heiden said, "I want to know when and where he last contacted the Magic Guild."

The person in charge hesitated.Investigating the contact records of members of the magic guild must be approved by the guild president, and even if approval is not required, this is not something he can do within his authority. "I need to ask the president for instructions."

"Okay." Hyde didn't expect him to agree immediately.

"If you don't mind, may I ask your name." The person in charge asked.

"Heiden Tajlis."

The person in charge was sure that this was an unfamiliar name, and he was disappointed.It would be great if the person in front of him was Chai Fuang.Thinking of the legendary super magician, he couldn't hide his admiration, "Please wait a moment, I will report right away."

Dilling was also very curious about the enlightenment mentor Heidein spoke of.But he knew that an organization like the Magic Guild would never give an answer right away. At the very least, it must first confirm Heidein's identity to St. Padres, and then the president of the Magic Guild would summon someone like the vice-chairman or an elder. Discuss and finally draw conclusions.Definitely not one night to get the answer.So he went back to bed early.

The next morning, when Dilling reported to Heidein's room, the Magic Guild hadn't given an answer.

Heiden's face became gloomy.

Dilling used the excuse of practicing magic, and was about to sneak away when Heiden said, "I'll practice with you."

Looking at the dark cloud on his face, Di Lin kept silent on the "you don't have to be so polite" in his mouth.

Probably because he had something in his heart, Hydein's test was not very severe, it just helped him consolidate the disintegration magic he had comprehended last time.

After only half an hour of practice, Heiden stopped, "Enough."

Dilling just felt a little dizzy, so he nodded.

Heiden said: "Let's go for a walk in the city." Dilling had to act as a small follower.

The scale of the city is much larger than the small town of the game.The city wall alone is twice as high.There is also a large population in the city, and there are vendors on both sides of the street displaying novelty gadgets.

But Dilling was used to most of the things in Shamanlier, so he wasn't very curious.On the contrary, Hyde stopped and watched from time to time.

"The mentor hasn't come out for a long time?" Di Lin asked for something to say.

"This is the first time I have left the academy since I can remember." Heiden's answer was beyond his expectations.

Di Lin was stunned: "What about the original home?"

St. Padres College is not a shelter for children, and 13 years old is the bottom line for admitting students.Unless Heiden has memories since he was 13, where was he before?

"I don't have a home." Heiden said flatly.

Di Lin's heart trembled. Although he was curious, he couldn't ask any more questions.

On the contrary, Hyde took the initiative to answer: "In the past, St. Padres College once set up a class for gifted children, looking for gifted children with magical aptitude from all over the continent to train them from an early age."

"How about a gifted child with magical aptitude?" Dilling was curious.

Heiden said: "I am afraid that only Vincent Lin can answer this question. There were twelve people selected at that time, and only I and Chai Fuang have no relatives."

Looking at his lonely figure, Dilling couldn't help holding his hand quietly.

Hyde broke away subconsciously.

Dilling was quite hurt.He shouldn't forget that the person in front of him is not Soso who needs care, nor Raymond who is the same age, but his mentor, an adult who stands taller than him and sees farther than him.

"Let's go back." After the episode of holding hands, Hyde was obviously not interested in telling the story.

Di Lin regretted secretly, but he could only follow behind him silently.

Back at the Magic Guild, the person in charge was already waiting in the lobby, and when he saw him, he immediately walked over and said, "The things you want are ready."

With a flash in his eyes, Hyde walked forward with big strides.

The person in charge chased after him, as if Heiden was leading the way.

"This way, this way." The person in charge had to trot in order to lead the way.

After finally entering the office, the person in charge took out a notebook, spread it out in front of him and said, "This is the information provided by the headquarters, and I have already copied it down." Listening to the words of the president of the magic guild, the magister in front of him Definitely not some nobody.It is true, St. Padres Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, I do not know how many powerful magicians are not known to the outside world.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but envy the young man and teenager in front of him.

Being able to enter St. Padres is really the lifelong dream of every magician.He also took the exam at the beginning, but unfortunately failed.

Hyde looked at the record silently, and finally stopped his finger on the last line, "Five years ago, Santu's Nier City."

The person in charge came over and said: "Yes. He announced a reward of [-] gold coins to the guild for elemental crystals. But the elemental crystals he wanted were too big, let alone [-] gold coins, even [-] gold coins may not be found. .”

Hyde frowned and said, "Only five years ago?"

The person in charge said: "Yes. The contact information he provided at that time was a small hotel in Neil City, which has been demolished now."

Hyde closed the book and took it away without saying a word.

Di Lin said to the person in charge on his behalf: "Thank you, you have worked hard."

Seeing that the older one had nothing to say, the person in charge focused on the younger one, "Are you a student of St. Padres?"

"Yes."

"I heard that St. Padres College is difficult to graduate?"

Dilling said, "I just entered school this year."

"Ah. Really? I heard that enrolling this year is much easier than in previous years."

Dilling said: "Maybe. I didn't take the exam."

"Why?" The person in charge widened his eyes.

Dilling said: "Exemption from the exam."

The person in charge thought for a long time before remembering the only exception in St. Padres' enrollment, "Ah, is it a nobleman?"

But the person who answered is no longer there.

Hyde remained in the room, and did not pack up his things and leave as Dilling imagined.

The door of the room was wide open.

"That," Dilling stood by the door, hesitantly said, "Maybe you can accept the reward?"

Heiden looked up from his notebook, saw him, and waved.

Dilling walked over.

"I don't have such a big elemental crystal." Heiden said.

Dilling was puzzled.

"This is a matter of integrity." Hyde closed the book, "I will find him, but I will not use fraud as a means."

"..."

Dilling had to re-examine the person in front of him.His principles always come out of nowhere.

"He appeared in Santu," Hyde took out the map from the space bag casually, then looked at the countries around Santu and said, "Banding Empire and Shamanlier, the two richest countries in the mainland, are also the most likely to have large A country of block elemental crystals."

Dilling's heart tightened, "Do you think he will hide in Shamanliel or Zadin Empire?"

"He's not someone who gives up easily." If he gave up easily, he wouldn't be obsessed with the wind element for so many years.

Dilling thought for a while and said, "If it's Shamanlier, I think I can help."

Hyde turned his head sideways, his blue eyes were as clear as water.

Thinking of being able to help the person in front of him, Di Lin felt unspeakably excited.Perhaps it was because he had been suppressed for too long, and he didn't want to miss this rare opportunity to let the other party rely on him.Even if it was to return to the circle that he didn't want to be in.

"Okay." Heiden said.

Di Lin heard his heart fall back to his chest, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The magic guild has magic circles in major cities in the mainland, which can be used to send characters and messages.St. Padres also has enough strength to do so, but considering St. Padres' unique geographical location, the first head of the academy had the mentality of not wanting to be disturbed by outsiders, and issued an order not to set up magic teleportation arrays anywhere in the academy. According to school regulations, from now on, the only means of transportation to enter St. Padres is a boat.

Counting the time when he left the magic circle at home to go to St. Padres with Gu Lan and Soso, this was the second time Dilling used the magic circle, and he was still very nervous.He turned his head and glanced at Heidein, who was supposed to be using a magic circle for the first time, but who was very calm, and secretly admired it.

"What are you thinking?" Heiden asked.

Dilling expressed his thoughts.This was a positive affirmation, and he believed Heidein would be happy to know.

But again he miscalculated Hydein's reaction.

"When you are strong enough, you will find that there is nothing terrible in this world." Heiden looked at him and said clearly in his eyes, you haven't worked hard enough.

"..." Praise is a technical job.And Dilling is obviously not hot enough.
