For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King

   Chapter 147 Judging the situation

  The history of Blackwater Offa University can be traced back to the first year of the Platinum Calendar, and its founder is said to be a Takma from Awa. In the entire Vic Continent, as an academy that teaches magic, the Blackwater Arcane University can be said to be the one with the longest history.

   Of course, in the era when the laws of the stars were established, the "Magic Academy" itself was already a fairly outdated concept. Basically, the star lighthouses all over the place directly took over the local magic teaching. And Blackwater Austrian University, as one of the few remaining colleges in the Riel Empire that still maintains operation, does not rely on any extraordinary background, or some longevity powerhouse to suppress.

   Just because they stood on the right side in the "Enlightenment Movement" established by the Star Law that year, they received special care from the Star Council.

   "The Preparatory Class of the Star Lighthouse" or "The Nursing Home of Senator Star", this is what people call this Millennium College, which once ranked among the top five on the mainland, in private.

   But Green Gordon, the current president of Offa University, doesn't have much to say about these ridiculous names.

  Be it preparatory classes or nursing homes, at least they can maintain their own existence.

   And only things that exist are qualified to be ridiculed.

It is as if eight hundred years ago, when other magic colleges on the mainland jointly resisted the promotion of the "Star Law", the then president of Blackwater Austrian Law University considered the situation and chose the party that was more in line with the historical trend. The gates of the academy welcome those constellations with different constellations embroidered on their robes, allowing them to remove magical tomes from the library in the academy.

   It is said that the principal at that time was scolded by his colleagues in other magic schools as a traitor, and accused him of being in the company of the "Book Burner" and not worthy of being a magic singer.

   But so what? Eight hundred years later, the magic academies that chose to resist were left with only one name written in the historical archives, and even the names of several academies that chose to resist to the end were erased.

   Only Blackwater Austrian University has survived with the support of the Star Council.

   "Assess the situation" - this is the principle upheld by the later dean of Blackwater Austrian Law University.

   Therefore, Green now also needs to continue to judge the situation and do what he should do.

   After informing his subordinates to bring the girl over, Green sat back in his armchair and turned the floating stone on the table with some boredom.

   After almost a month of riots, the situation in the City of Thorns has calmed down on the surface, but Green understands that this is just an illusion.

   Countless undercurrents are now surging beneath the peaceful surface of the city.

   The Vincent who took the Throne of Thorns was a total idiot, well... maybe he's a rare genius in magic, but he's definitely a total idiot in politics.

   After he came to power, he implemented a series of measures including blocking the Star Lighthouse, which completely pushed the entire Rose Palace regime to the opposite of the Star Council. Green didn't even have time to mediate in it, and the Star Council cut off contact with this side, and the Stranger Star Lighthouse directly froze all qualifications for enlightenment and promotion.

   And Blackwater Austrian University just lost the biggest backer behind him for 800 years.

  The City of Thorns is known as the "City of Silver and Blood". The coup d'état is like a series of blood-stained embellishments in the history of the city. But no matter who came to power in a coup d'etat, the first thing they had to do was to ensure the normal operation of the Star Lighthouse in order to win the recognition and support of the Star Council.

  You can try to bargain with the royal family of the Rael Empire, or even have some conflicts with the Holy Spirit Church because of religious issues, but only the support of the Star Council is what you must get.

  Unless you plan to throw yourself into the arms of the Moon Realm completely.

   But judging from the fact that the other party brought people into the academy to search for the Moon Realm believers every three days, it seemed that the other party did not intend to do so.

   Neither trying to win the support of the Star Council, nor willing to use the Moon Realm believers, what is the use of actively responding to the blight plague and improving the treatment of miners to win the hearts of the people?

  Power is power, no matter how many illusory people's hearts gather, under the saturated spell coverage of the War Mage Legion, it is also a rabble that will collapse at a touch.

   The least likely to accomplish anything since time immemorial is the idealist.

  If you want to succeed, you must have a solid and reliable absolute force as support.

   "Headmaster, are you looking for me?"

   The door of the office was knocked gently twice, and a calm female voice sounded outside the door.

  Green tapped the wooden table with his fingers, and the door of the room opened automatically.

   Outside the door, a young girl with short ear-length hair and a sunbird pendant around her neck was looking at him suspiciously.

   "Come in, Liliana."

  Green restrained his previous expression and greeted with a genial smile.

   The other party walked up to him cautiously, as if he was very confused as to why the academy head suddenly called him over.

"I heard that your progress in the illusion course has been very rapid recently. Elena said that if you continue to improve at this rate, you can complete the expert-level promotion test of the illusion course this year... Ah, don't be cautious, just sit down and just sit back. ."

  Green said, pointing to the chair opposite the table and making a "please sit" gesture.

   "The teacher instructed me well."

   Liliana sat down carefully, and then planned to ask the other party what the purpose of her search was.

   But before she could speak, Green said first:

   "It's impossible to make such great progress in a short period of time just by relying on Elena's courses... Tell me, did your father help you find a tutor outside?"

  Greene's tone was as relaxed and casual as homely.

   But hearing this, Liliana, who was going to ask the other party's intentions, didn't say anything.

   She probably guessed the purpose of the other party calling her here.

   Seeing that Liliana didn't speak, Green fiddled with the floating stone on the table again, and then continued with a smile:

   "If there is really a powerful illusionist magic caster who is helping you make up your lessons, maybe you can introduce me to me. After all, there is a lack of talents in this field in the academy. Your father is now..."

   "He's not my father."

   Liliana corrected in a flat tone.

  Despite the prestigious surname "Bergman," Liliana's being Vincent's adopted daughter is actually no secret in high circles. There are even rumors that she is actually the illegitimate daughter of the former chief of the Mage Hall. Of course, everyone who has dealt with Vincent will not believe this.

  Green raised a hand apologetically when he heard the words:

"I mean, your adoptive father's current policy on the education of magic casters is relatively not so... in line with the past traditions here. This has led to the fact that there have been six mage towers in the academy in the past two months. The person in charge of you has submitted a letter of resignation, if it is not really lacking, your current mentor will not be transferred from the shadow department to the illusion department to act as the temporary person in charge."

   Liliana didn't reply, she knew all this.

In the past two months, most of the teachers in the college with the background of the Star Council have chosen to resign and leave. Coupled with the high-intensity search for the believers in the Moon Realm some time ago, it can be said that the entire Offa University has been completely immersed in the recent period. Suspended state.

   Looking at the silent expression on the other side, Green smiled and continued:

   "Of course, let's put the recruitment aside first. After all, even if there are enough teachers now, it is estimated that there will be no more students when Xingyue recruits students..."

   Losing the support of the Star Lighthouse, the entire city of thorns has not had a magic affinity who has been enlightened by magic in the past two months. Now, in the vicinity of the blocked Stranger Block Lighthouse, every three days there are parents holding their children with dim light in their eyes, eagerly waiting for the lighthouse to open.

   For many common people's families, a child born with magical affinity is the only way for them to change their destiny. Therefore, compared with some nobles, their voices for the reopening of the Star Lighthouse are often louder.

   "I came to you this time mainly to find out, has your adoptive father mentioned the specific time for the reopening of the lighthouse?"

  Green spread his hands and asked sincerely.

   Probably will never be open...

   After hearing this question, Liliana thought.

   It was not her adoptive father Vincent who gave the order to block the lighthouse, but William Kane, who was behind him in control of the situation.

   Looking at the other party's earnest eyes, Liliana, who understood the essence of the lighthouse, replied with consideration:

   "He has lived in the Rose Palace for the past few months, and I haven't seen him a few times."

The implication of    is - I don't know anything.

The expression of    disappointment only stayed on Green's face for a short moment, and he quickly regained his previous smile and said:

"Then go back and ask him, even if it's for yourself. According to your current rate of progress, you should be able to reach the level of participating in the expert-level spell rating by the end of the year... If the lighthouse can reopen at that time. "

   "Then the next time I meet him, I'll talk to him..."

   "When is the next time?"

  Green interrupted Liliana directly.

   "The time is not so abundant now, is it? If possible, it would be better to discuss this matter with him earlier."

   "Then tomorrow?"

   Liliana asked tentatively.

   "Tomorrow is April Fool's Day. It would be better for a lady like you not to go out on April Fool's Day. Just today, I heard Elena say that you have no class today."

  …

   Anyway, the disappearance of a student on the campus of Blackwater Offa University is always a difficult thing to explain.

   Watching Liliana leave, Green thought.

   But if she left the campus and disappeared by herself, it has nothing to do with him.

  It's a pity, he is obviously a gifted child, but he has to become a victim of adult politics.

  Thinking of this, he took out a magic seal rune for communication from the drawer.

   "Assess the situation."

  Green said silently.

   Not long ago, the Restoration faction within the Rose Palace took the initiative to contact him. They claimed that they had found the son of the old duke, and hoped that Blackwater Austrian University could provide some small help for the cause of returning to the previous order of the City of Thorns.

   Participated in the intricate battles of the Rose Palace, which did not conform to the neutrality of the Austrian University in the past. But this time is different from the past, especially when the brilliance of the law of the stars cannot illuminate the city of thorns.

   He wants to make plans for the future of the entire college.

   And before he made up his mind, Green didn't have other attempts. In the past two weeks, he has visited the palace several times to meet Vincent, hoping to clarify the opening time of the lighthouse, but the answers he got were all official clichés such as "researching" and "will give you an answer later".

  Green is not a fool, he can see the stricter and stricter blockade and more and more seals outside the Star Beacon every day.

  Compared with this, the promise of the Restorationists to immediately restore contact with the Star Council is much more practical and reliable.

  Thinking of this, Green activated the communication technique in the Demon Sealing Rune—he wanted to notify the people of the Restoration faction who were arranged a few streets away that the girl had already gone out.

   Magical power flowed from his fingertips to the runes according to his will, and the spells engraved on the runes were instantly covered with blue electric sparks.

   then went out.

   "It's useless, you underestimate a father's protection for his daughter, especially when she has had so many dangerous encounters before."

   A sudden voice echoed across Green.

   He raised his head, and a gray-haired man appeared where Liliana was sitting.

   There was no one there a second ago.

"who!"

   Green's back was tense, he raised his hand, and a fiery red spell was formed instantly.

   Then the same goes out.

   "By the way, the space here has been blocked by me, don't shout, it's useless."

After    lightly extinguished his spell, the man said lightly.

   This made Green, who was just about to call for help, shut his mouth.

  Space blockade? But he remembers that the spells related to space blockade cannot be cast so quietly, or is the other party just lying to himself?

  Green looked suspiciously at the calm-faced man. He stared at him for a while before he said:

   "Have I seen you somewhere?"

   "I borrowed your school's training range to use it before, maybe we met at that time."

   The man replied politely.

Green carefully recalled that it seemed to be something that happened not long after the turmoil in the cemetery. At that time, Vincent brought a person who did not want to reveal his identity over to rent the underground shooting range for two days, and instructed that in order to avoid accidents, any No one is allowed to go near there. However, two days later, the entire shooting range was returned intact, as if the man had only slept in the shooting range for two days.

  Because he said it in a very serious way at the time, he still has some impressions.

   "So, you are from Vincent?"

   Green asked thoughtfully.

   The other party shook his head.

   But before Green could say his next guess, the other party replied directly:

   "Vincent is my man."

  Greene waited for the other party's text, but the other party did not say anything when he said this.

   So he couldn't help but ask:

"you sure?"

  Although Vincent has never called himself the King of Blackwater or the Duke of Thorns, he is now without a doubt the highest authority in Blackwater Province.

   And now the unknown magic caster who appeared in front of him said that Vincent was his subordinate, why would he?

   With his gray hair and silver eyes, he looks like the orthodox heir of the Riel royal family?

   "The Restorationists' plan for tomorrow's coup will not succeed."

   The man didn't answer Green's question, but said so directly.

   Green Gordon's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words "tomorrow" and "coup".

  Coup, once the information is leaked out, there is basically no chance of success.

"I do not know what you're talking about…"

  Green said with the same expression on his face.

   "Coup? What coup? An April Fool's joke?"

   Hearing the words, the other party did not speak, but stretched out his fingers, which he pinched so white, one by one, and then took out the yet-to-be-activated Demon Sealing Rune.

   He looked at himself holding the Demon Sealing Rune, and his expression seemed to say: Please don't take me for a fool.

   "I can explain this..."

   But the other party raised his hand to stop the words behind him.

   "I always feel that wrong choices made because of ignorance can be forgiven until they cause irreparable losses. After all, ignorance is not a sin, and there are opportunities for correction."

  The man looked at the Demon Sealing Rune and said.

"Fortunately, you chose to help the Restorationists. First, it was out of ignorance. You didn't know what was behind Vincent, and secondly, what you chose was not something that could cause great losses. "

   Then the man said, before Green could react, he activated the Demon Sealing Rune.

   "Hey! Wait a minute!"

   "So I'm willing to give you a chance to start over."

   Don't panic, it's just a technical adjustment to update the time. The last two nights have passed the US time, so I went to bed last night.

   There will be another update after 0:00 tonight, but everyone, don't wait, stay up late and have a healthy work and rest.
