Infrastructure starts from the game

Next is the time of "Maomao Settle Accounts".

A few hospitality cats ran out with cordons and warning signs very familiar with the way, surrounded Heipao and his cats, diverted the guests who seemed to have no idea what was going on around the area, and helped the singer He got back on the wheelchair and pushed it into the cafeteria behind the store.

The sanhua cat nestled warmly on the singer's lap, and rubbed its furry head against the singer's hand:

"Teacher, are you okay?"

"I don't care anymore," Singer opened his trouser legs to confirm that the black mist that had been lingering for many years has disappeared. Now he is more concerned about the cat in his arms, which seems to be the apprentice he had been optimistic about: "You are Oso Well, why..."

"I can't help it. I've been trapped in 'that place' for six or seven years, and my body has already melted meow! In fact, even the soul is about to be assimilated in the end, so I have to ask the master in black to rebuild the body." Sanhua replied.

"So that's how it is."... After that, the child can no longer be called by his previous human name.

The singer sighed, probably understood what was going on.

Judging from the state described by Sanhua, it has been trapped in the demon body for too long, and now it is in a "semi-demonized" state, and its soul is no longer pure.

This kind of demonized soul is a source of pollution, even reincarnation will lead to the death of the mother, so if conditions permit, it is of course best to find the white robe to directly purify the soul, but soul purification can only be done by the most advanced white magic , Ordinary white robes may not have this ability, not to mention the owner of this workshop is black robe, he can only save the soul in a suitable body first, block the source of pollution, and then look for opportunities to liberate the soul later.

In this case, it is best not to call the other party by their real names as much as possible, so as not to lock the soul and body and completely turn into a cat.

At this time, a Maine Coon cat came over wearing boots and put black tea in front of the singer.

The singer was about to thank him, but the Maine Coon bowed to him solemnly and said:

"Are you Mr. Singer? I have been taking care of you for a long time."

"?"

Sanhua explained: "After I was caught by the monster, didn't you risk your life to save me, and even used your own legs as the price to create a magic circle to keep my soul? It was because of the magic circle that we let us lasted so long."

"Osuo used his own soul as the core to support the magic circle and saved us." The Maine Coon looked at Sanhua complicatedly, and bowed again, "In short, you are also our savior."

"Meow--"

When the Maine Coon cat said that, there were echoing meows all around.

The singer looked around in surprise, and found that there were cats squatting on the tables, window sills, and chairs around him. They also looked like Maine Coon cats, and lowered their furry heads to him.

Watching this scene, the singer felt that his mutilated legs and feet did not hurt so much.

He touched Sanhua's head: "I didn't do anything, you guys persevered and waited for the real salvation."

"Of course, we will never forget the kindness of the black-robed master." Sanhua said with narrowed eyes.

It feels the rough palm of the teacher and recalls the nightmarish past.

The past few years were really dark and cold... There was no end in sight, and just when it wanted to give up, the deepest darkness accepted them.

The present darkness is quiet and stable, and Sanhua feels that she can finally have a good night's sleep.

Ah, I really don't want to go to work today.

Ten minutes later, Heipao came to the cafeteria with his black cat.

To be precise, it is the black robe borrowed from the body of the black sheep.

Angel did not put Jack's head back on his body, but walked in with his head in his arms.

"Are you worried? Don't worry, this child is not dead, he just lent his body to me, but when he is possessed by me, it is actually better to separate his head from his body," Angel watched the singer staring at his hand. He stroked the thick black hair of young Jack like stroking a cat: "To be precise, it is better to separate the soul, otherwise it will be easily polluted by my soul and completely become my thing."

The head of the black sheep slowly opened its eyes, and said slowly: "I think it doesn't matter even if the soul is swallowed by you."

The black robe immediately tapped Hei Yang on the head: "Don't say that, I sound like an evil demon who brainwashed you."

Ya, not this question.

A headless body holding its own head and touching it there, this scene is more than demons than demons!

The singer complained in his heart.

"Speaking of which, when did you make this child a puppet?" Mithril asked.

It jumped onto the seat, came to Angor's side, looked at the head held in Angor's arms, pushed him away with its paws in disgust, and nestled in by itself.

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't make this child a puppet!" Angel denied, "It's just that if someone doesn't reject him from body to soul, he can lend his body to me."

"Hmph, how loyal!" said the black cat, looking at the black sheep's head.

The black sheep looked back innocently.

Angel didn't think that Jack was loyal, but that the black sheep simply gave up thinking.

Angel was just looking at Jack in a daze before, as if he was not thinking about anything, and he needed an eyeliner to stare at the workshop, so he tried to make a request to Jack, and he immediately got the consent of the other party, and he did it all at once. It worked.

From a human point of view, this is basically impossible.

No matter how loyal you are, if you hear that your body is controlled by others and you want to remove your head, you will be repelled!

Jack can only show that he doesn't care what happened to him at all.

Only when the child rejects the possession will he truly return to normal!

Thinking this way, Angel touched the head of the black sheep again.

Of course, this is Jack's own problem.

The black robe is not a white robe. He has no intention of being a spiritual mentor, nor does he have any intention of telling others about the state of the black sheep.

"Let's put Jack's aside in advance. I'll return his body to him later." Angel "looked" at Singer: "This...Mr. Singer, I heard that you are a broomstick designer?"

"yes, I……"

The singer wanted to say something, but was held by the headless body.

"Great, really great!" Although he had no head, Angel couldn't express his excitement with his expression, but his rare passionate voice already reflected his mood at the moment, "That product is simply amazing in terms of design. Perfect! Especially in terms of hardware, the use of materials is ingenious, and the workmanship is impeccable! It is simply a masterpiece of masterpieces! In terms of products, it would be great if there are a few improvements—”

"Snapped."

The last sound was the sound of Mithril's tail being drawn to Angel's (black sheep's) hand.

"Don't just talk about your own requirements as soon as you come up," Mithril meowed, feeling like she was raising a child, "Before this, you haven't introduced yourself to the singer, right?"

"Ah!" Angel was stunned for a moment, as if he had just noticed this.

Angor sat upright in embarrassment—even though he was weak, he couldn't stand up in this state—thought for a while, but found that he didn't know how to say: "I'm Angel Cecilia, from the magic workshop. The current master... now this body belongs to this child, but you have seen my original body in Academy City, so it must be like this anyway!"

Apart from the name, there seems to be no useful information!

The singer smiled awkwardly but politely.

Singer actually wanted to know a lot of things, such as where this Mr. Angel came from—as an old man in the workshop, Singer clearly remembered that the previous owner, Boris, had no children—but this kind of thing He asked as if he was questioning the legitimacy of Angel's inheritance, so he couldn't speak directly.

Fortunately Mithril is here.

After listening to Angel's self-introduction, the black cat anxiously shook its tail to express its abandonment.

It said to the singer: "Angel is the child of your first master. He went to the Mage Tower before and came back last year-if I remember correctly, the year you entered the workshop happened to be Angor. The year of the Mage Tower."

When Mithril said this, the singer immediately understood: "Ah, that young master Angel who held a banquet for three days in the neighborhood to congratulate him on leaving, and paid a big reward for half a year?"

So, it just happened to pass by again!

More than 100 years ago, the day when the singer came to the alchemy workshop happened to be the day when Angel went to the mage tower.

"...Three days of banquet? Big reward?" Angel pinched Mithril's face.

Mithril looked away with a rare guilty conscience: "It's spontaneous from the neighbors around, and has nothing to do with us."

That's right, Angel's farewell banquet was spontaneously organized by the neighbors.

The singer remembers this deeply.

At that time, he had just arrived in the city of Cecilia and was stunned by the grand celebration.

After all, according to common sense, it is a good thing for my young master to enter the mage tower. It should have been the alchemy workshop to entertain the neighbors around and offer discounts, but the alchemy workshop itself did not move, but the three days on the whole Avenue of the Brave and even half of the city were like As soon as the festival came, the nearby merchants took the initiative to set up water seats, and even put up signs saying "Congratulations to Master Angel for entering the Mage Tower" to start a big reward, making the singer think that Cecilia's rules are different from other places Woolen cloth!

Looking back now, the singer feels that he has solved a long-standing doubt.

"So it turns out that Master Angel was so loved at that time?"

That's not love, it's joy!

Send away the joy of the bear child.

Mithril looked at Singer suspiciously: "I think you must have made a mistake."

"I'm not mistaken," the singer said what he had seen and heard along the way, and finally concluded, "Sure enough, simple and clever inventions will only be influenced by the times. Only those who truly consider the needs of everyone and have the ability to realize it and action, will truly be supported by this era and change the world."

"...Ha, it sounds like I'm great."

Angel said dryly.

He didn't like the words "change the world". It sounded like he was going to bear the fate of all people on his own. It was scary to think about it.

"Mr. Angel, you are indeed great!"

At this time, Silver Leaf said.

He didn't know when he brought the rune masters here, and just heard the last few words.

The white sheep came over, took the black sheep's head from Angel's lap, put it on the table beside it, and then looked at the singer vigilantly: "Compared to such a natural thing, we heard that the alchemist just Mr. Sorcerer took an oath of allegiance?"

"Routine procedures. In the past, every employee had to take an oath when they officially entered the job." Mithril said.

"Then why didn't we?!" Yinye asked, he grabbed Angel's arm, raised his eyes aggrievedly and asked, "We are also full-time employees!"

Don't suddenly put on a succubus expression at such a time, it's too suspicious.

"It's already said that it's an old rule," Angel pushed Yinye's face away, "Didn't you sign the contract? That's fine."

"Hey, I think the sworn contract is more handsome!" said a rune master.

Other rune masters also echoed.

This group of kids is just a second child!It seems that there are not enough jobs for them.

The black robe thought sullenly.

It's a pity that the silly lambs present didn't realize what the evil black robe was thinking—after all, they were facing a body without a head, and they couldn't see their expressions without a head—they were still bleating silly .

Seeing this, the singer finally let go of the last bit of anxiety.

The entertaining cats are grateful to Angel because they want to repay their favor;

The black sheep said that he was willing to sacrifice his life, probably he has been controlled by the black robe;

Mithril obeyed Angor, perhaps just unable to violate the contract;

But the ordinary rune apprentices who work in the workshop love Angor so much, and even voluntarily swear an oath to bind their lives, so it means that even if Angel is a boss, he is also a good boss!

Maybe it's time to write to the old folks and ask them to return to Magic Gear too.

The singer thought so.

On the other side, Academy City is also having a meeting.

However, unlike ordinary school affairs meetings, there were only three participants in this meeting. Among them, Ms. Yani, the city lord of Academy City, who was sitting in the chief seat, was wearing a silver-red mage robe, and the other two were wearing light green robes. Dark purple robes, if it weren't for most of them being old, adding two or three people would almost be able to play "Magical Girl".

Originally, their number was indeed sufficient, because those present were the famous "Seven Sages" in Academy City, and their meeting was also called the "Seven Sages Conference", and they could even influence the fate of the entire continent during special periods.

It is a pity that in the terrible "disappearance accident" that year, five of the seven sages disappeared, and four of them did not even have direct heirs. Therefore, the "seven sages" have long existed in name only, and the remaining two great sages Those who are also disheartened because of this, do not want to get involved in world affairs.

Even now, facing the rare call of the younger generation, the green sage in the light green robe said coldly: "What's the matter? I still have experiments to do!"

"I said, don't bother me even if it's the end of the world!" Purple Sage said the same.

The Red Sage... No, Ms. Yani sighed upon seeing this.

As the heir of the Red Sage, she can call herself a "Red Sage" now that her teacher has disappeared, but Ms. Yani thinks that she has not reached the level of a teacher, and she is unwilling to call herself that.

"It's something very important!" Ms. Yani said, seeing the impatient looks of the two great sages, she said directly, "I want two 'Endless Library' and 'Creator Star' maze' permissions!"

These words finally made the two great sages who didn't want to have any contact with people stay for a few more minutes.

"what are you going to do?"

"I... want to resume the school curriculum of the Second Era!" Ms. Yani hesitated for a while, and said through gritted teeth.

This is an excuse.

The main reason was that Angel was planning to build the firewall of the Academy City. Although Ms. Yani had given certain permissions, she did the math afterwards and felt that it was not possible:

Too little.

She can give Angel too little.

If they are superficial businessmen, they will be complacent when they do such a business!I thought I took advantage of the black robe, but it is not that simple in the magic world, especially in the exchange of knowledge and magic, everything is valuable, if you can't exchange equivalently, then you don't know what you will pay in the future ——This has nothing to do with Angel's own evil intentions, but the balance of magic.

For example, the price that the firewall will pay is obvious:

The firewall will protect the knowledge of the entire Academy City. If Angel is completely allowed to use his knowledge to build it, then the subsequent knowledge will become Angel's property alone. It depends on whether he wants it or not. plunder.

Ms. Yani must add weight to the balance and give a price that can pay Angor's reward.

Ms. Yani thought of the authority of these two great sages.

However, Ms. Yani did not dare to directly tell the two of the whole incident. First of all, she "just" made a deal with a middle-level mage, and it would be too embarrassing if she couldn't pay the price.

More importantly, these two great sages are very willful and reckless. Whether it is the Royal Mage Tower, the Cecilia Mage Tower, or foreigners like the Dragon King, these two will never give If there is any face left, if they go to provoke Angel and drive away the black-robed mage in anger, Ms. Yani will not be able to cry.

Therefore, after various considerations, Ms. Yani felt that the two ancestors must not be allowed to know about Angel's existence.

But how to get the authority of the two most important things from the ancestors?

It happened that Angel proposed the idea of ​​"sports meeting", and Ms. Yani had an idea and finally had an idea.

She decided to go a little further with the "Sports Day" upgrade.

"Ahem, you may have been in seclusion for too long and you don't know. Cagofen is now in an unprecedented crisis!" Ms. Yani said in a sensational tone, "The academic world has been dominated by the scholars of the royal capital. New theories and new inventions all come from Sensenata. The City of Academy is no longer a sacred place that people yearn for. In the past century, the enrollment rate of foreigners is less than [-]%. Especially after compulsory education is popularized, people prefer to choose nearby schools. It's not Cagoffin, if this continues, Academy City will slowly decline!"

This is also an objective fact.

Leaving aside the issue of foreign students, after the science discipline squeezed the magic discipline, Academy City’s position in the academic world is no longer unique. There is no reason why a lot of knowledge can only be learned by coming to Academy City, so even if the upper class People still habitually hand over their children to Academy City, but civilian students taught by compulsory education will never come to Cagoffin no matter in terms of money or geographical location.

So the source of students in Academy City is very strange now.

On the one hand, in terms of scientific disciplines that seem to be equal, here are the children of noble scholars, because their grandparents and ancestors graduated from the Academy City, so they came here, and there are some nouveau riche who want to mix in In the upper class; on the other hand, the magic subjects that used to require the most talent and blood, but the common people or even lower-level children, they came to the city of the Academy purely because of the subsidies from the Magic Association.

To put it simply, one side came to gild their status, and the other side came to cheat funds. Anyway, neither of them seemed to come to school to study.

Ms. Yani originally only wanted to convince her seniors, but thinking of the situation in Academy City, she really had a headache.

This is why Ms. Yani supports Angel so much.

She hoped that Angor's magic power base station could improve the students' magic power level, and now, Angor's "firewall" could protect the development of the science side.

Since this black robe is so important, Ms. Yani is of course willing to provide everything the other party needs.

Ms. Yani's tone became more and more righteous: "For the current stage of the Academy City, reform is absolutely necessary! I think only the successful experience of An... the Second Era can help the Academy City recover to its original state. The glory of the past! But to restore those courses, you need the authority keys in the hands of the two seniors, so I ask for your help!"

"You won't just watch the depravity of Academy City, will you?"

"I don't care, as long as the research can continue," the Green Sage said cruelly, "And these problems are not a day or two, right? The magic has not been completed as it is now, and the city of the Academy has long since ceased to exist."

The purple sage echoed: "Yes! Originally, the Academy City didn't have to exist. It was those people who wanted to obtain knowledge, so we imparted it. Since they don't need it, it's fine to leave. Keep those stupid traditions. Not necessary. Besides, the Second Era is a chaotic era of exploration, right? With the current students, are you sure those children can do the things of the Second Era?"

"At least try it!" Ms. Yani said angrily at first, and then she paused strangely: "How do you know about the decline of magic and the current source of students?"

"..."

The two sages turned their heads away and refused to answer.

Ms. Yani suddenly became angry: "In short, you just hand over the authority—"

"something wrong!"

"something wrong!"

After Ms. Yani left, the two great sages exchanged glances.

"Even a fool knows that to restore the Academy City, it is not enough to restore the past courses," Green Sage said, "Xiao Yani is not a fool, she must have other plans."

"Is she in love?" Purple Sage said.

"Are you crazy? She is almost two hundred years old, an age that even the Fountain of Youth can't save."

"That's not necessarily true, maybe the other party likes this?" Purple Sage said, "And if the other party just wants the authority of the Academy City, what does appearance matter?"

"I don't think Xiao Yani has the love brains of you. She is determined not to get married in this life, and she won't lose her life at the end of the year."

"Then, do you want to leave it alone?" Purple Sage asked.

"How can you leave it alone?" Green Sage frowned.

Leaving aside the suspicion of the two great sages, Angel heard similar news when he returned to Academy City.

"Second Era Course?"

"Yes, no matter what, I think it's too abrupt to hold a sports meeting as soon as the school starts," Ms. Yani said, "and the retro courses in the second era are a good excuse. Like restoring the glory of the ancestors, experiencing the ancestors' courses or something, yes Those noble parents are the most irresistible statement, and we just use this reason to carry out corresponding teaching experiments!"

"Hmph~ sounds very interesting!" Angel responded.

He has already "revived magic", is he going to "revive the second era" now?
