In the evening, Lynn left the South City area with Lord's earnest farewell.
The moment you walk out of the narrow alley, the bustling and prosperous central square appears before your eyes.
The wide streets were bustling with traffic and people, creating a bustling scene. A huge airship flew over the city, causing waves of children to chase after it with laughter and play.
Although Ralph's death dealt a heavy blow to the halflings, life must go on.
This prosperous and peaceful scene forms a sharp contrast with the dilapidated and chaotic southern city.
However, Lin En did not have much energy at this time, nor did he have the ability to care about the poor people who were ravaged by magic. He kept thinking about his next course of action in his mind.
It would probably be a good choice to start the investigation from the wizard apprentice who attempted to steal the airship blueprints. In addition to the airship matter, Lin En also wanted to get in touch with the organization called "Bloody Thorns".
Not only did he want to obtain a copy of the [Source of Magical Power] from this channel, Lin En also wanted to find out how a wizard apprentice could complete the class leap, and whether there were other ways to be promoted to a formal wizard...
Perhaps the action of entering the South City District alerted the enemy, and for the next few days, Lin En did not receive any message from Lord.
There was no news from the security team either.
Lynn was not surprised by this. Judging from Lord's words and the chaotic situation in the South City, the so-called security team was probably deeply involved with those magic workshops.
If he kept urging, the best result would be that Leia would lead people to find and kill the wizard apprentice and give him an explanation. The possibility of continuing the investigation would be very slim.
Since there was no useful information, Lin En could only calm down for the time being and continue his daily life as a professor. He usually attended classes and studied magic, and by the way, accumulated his magic power reserves to the limit.
On the morning of the third day, Lin En took a lot of materials and prepared to do one thing, which was to apply for teaching funds!
Whether it is researching magic or establishing an intelligence network, money is needed in almost every aspect.
Considering that an airship has already attracted the covetousness of some interested people, Lin En is not planning to come up with more new things in the short term.
If you want to obtain a large amount of funds in a short period of time, you can only start with teaching funds.
This time he was going to ask for 100 magic gold coins! This amount was a bit too much, but what did Brother Xun say?
If you want to open the window, you have to propose to take off the roof first! However, Lin En's plan failed before it even started. Philip looked at the long teaching plan and shook his head with a smile. "You are a little late, Professor Lin En. Master Hellram is not in the academy these days."
"What a coincidence?" Lin En couldn't help but frowned.
"Remember the psychic apprentice you brought back?" Philip asked.
"White Dove?" Lin En certainly had not forgotten about this. He once went to the medical room to visit the other party, and found that he was still sealed in an ice coffin, just like before.
"Yes, Master Helram took the little girl away last night. They should have gone to the Wizard City." Philip said uncertainly.
Bai Ge was just an ordinary apprentice recruited by Kelu in the Secas Empire. Logically speaking, he should have no relationship with the great wizard.
"Maybe it's because of Yieta..." Philip said hesitantly.
"Yieta? This college?" Lin En paused. He really couldn't imagine how Bai Ge's life and death had anything to do with this college.
"No, I'm talking about Master Helram's daughter - Yieta, a child with great magical talent. She looks somewhat similar to that half-ling girl. It's a pity that she came into contact with magic too early and her mind was still immature. As a result, she died in a magical accident... So when she saw this psychic named White Dove this time, she must have been moved by his emotions." Philip said with a sigh.
In fact, the fact that Yieta Academy has a rule that only students must be twelve years old to enter is also related to this, in order to avoid some unnecessary magical accidents.
Lynn nodded. No wonder Hellram was so tolerant of a noisy halfling girl who had no magical talent. It turned out that he loved her so much that he loved her all over.
Since the great wizard was not there, Lin En had to take back the long teaching list. The approval of hundreds of magic gold coins was not something that these professors could decide.
"By the way, Professor Philip, I heard that there are many magic workshops in the South City that are using the poor for experiments. Is that true? This doesn't seem to comply with the regulations of the parliament..." Lin En thought of what he saw and heard in the South City yesterday, and asked tentatively.
Lord's one-sided statement alone is not enough to convince people. Lin En is more curious about how the great wizard Hellram, as the actual ruler of this port city, views all this. He would not be kept in the dark, right?
"Even if some of them don't comply with the regulations, so what? The vast majority of poor people who participate in magic experiments are willing, and no one can stop them. Since some people want to gain the power of magic, they must pay a price!" Philip's tone was somewhat cold.
Elements, shaping, potions, alchemy, there is no easy way to develop magic in any discipline.
For example, the fusion of elements sometimes causes unimaginable damage, the development of each potion requires a large number of test subjects, shaping magic requires the dissection and study of the structure of magical creatures, and even alchemy can have disastrous consequences if there is even the slightest mistake in the process of drawing a magic circle.
Almost every year there are wizards who die in magical experiments, and even if precautions are taken in advance, it is impossible to prevent all accidents.
Of course, the casualties were greater among the apprentice assistants and the poor people who participated in the experiments.
The past hundred years have been considered good. In fact, every regulation of the Magic Council is a bloody lesson...
Lin En was speechless for a moment. In this chaotic alien world, it was obvious that one could not expect wizards to value human life.
"Professor Lin En, there is someone outside the college looking for you. Do you want to allow him to come in?" As the two were chatting, a little head suddenly popped out from the door, and two small hands were prying at the door, and the man asked.
Seeing that familiar and lovely face, Lin En smiled and nodded: “Lidya, please take him to my room, I will be there soon.”
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the men sent by Lord to notify him that they have arrived.
