Chapter 825: Lapping the Shore
"It's been almost a year before I know it......"
Looking at the main entrance of the Mage Academy not far away, Cervantes leaned against the wall and yawned.
In plain sight, the Mage Academy was built in a bunch of buildings under construction, and even the builders didn't know what they were building.
This trick was used very smoothly, and before almost everyone could react, the mage academy was established.
Although mage organizations all over the mainland sent letters to express their 'resolute opposition' after hearing the news, at this stage the Principality lacked nothing, but the goods produced by the Principality were widely popular in the outside world.
They don't have a 'legend' as a backstage, and none of the legendary mages have expressed their opposition to the matter.
Cervantes, who knew the inside story, knew that this mage academy and the Norman mage academy were a 'testing ground' for legendary mages.
Because they all know that the profession of 'mage' is not only in the plain sense, not only in the sense of 'magic users', but also 'researchers of the world'.
Unfortunately, in this era, many mages are bent on 'magic' instead of studying the truth of this world, just because studying the truth of the world allows them to obtain more powerful magic, and that's it.
They have already embarked on a crooked path, but all the legendary mages don't know if this path is 'crooked' or not, so they are just waiting and watching for now, rather than choosing support.
However, choosing not to express his stance can already be regarded as a kind of support, as long as there is no legendary mage 'against', then those mage organizations will not dare to really make a move, after all, there are several legends and a god standing behind the Duchy of Sorrow.
The mage academy in front of me has been in operation for almost a year, and everything is going according to plan.
A small number of relatively good students have been able to learn how to cast a ring of spells in advance, and according to this situation, it is estimated that a 'mage license' will be set up in the future.
A licensed mage is only able to use spells legally, while a mage who is not yet licensed to use a spell in the Principality needs to make a report after the fact, and if the reasons are legitimate, they can be acquitted, otherwise, they need to be sentenced according to the consequences.
This is also an inevitable trend in the development of society, if the mage can cast spells at will, then in the event of an accident, who will be responsible?
Squatting against the wall, Cervantes felt a little bored.
The current Wende City is so peaceful, although the petty theft has not yet disappeared, it is impossible for him to appear, and the 'cult sacrifice' that was once prevalent in the territory has completely disappeared.
Whether it's because the cultists think the country is not to be messed with, or because people live in abundance and no longer need to worry about life, they don't need these things anymore......
In short, Cervantes had mixed feelings of satisfaction and dissatisfaction with the current situation in the principality.
Or...... Go into the academy and have a look?
Suddenly, such a thought came to mind, and Cervantes had already begun to think about how to infiltrate the mage academy without even thinking about it.
It's not fun to go in and inspect in the open, of course, if you want to play, you have to play a little exciting!
Cervantes ran to the edge of the wall, and while the doorman and the wall were not paying attention, one rolled over and jumped in.
Behind the fence is a forest through which you can reach the student dormitory, which is opposite to the academic building.
This malicious design style was known to have been designed by Serra, and if he had been asked to design it, he would have placed the cafeteria directly opposite the student dormitory!
No one knows he's infiltrated yet, so would he like to have something more exciting?
The black dragon stood there and thought for two seconds, then took out a badge, rubbed the surface of the badge with his fingers, and Cervantes fastened the badge to his chest.
Then he took out the mirror again, looked at the guy in the mirror with a black scarf tied to his face, and grinned.
He can't use magic himself, but he can use magical artifacts!
With his stealth skills, it's perfectly fine to disguise a wanderer who has infiltrated the Academy, and can even use the excuse of 'testing their contingencies'.
After all, who made him a black dragon of the chaotic camp......
Walking through this sprawling academy and stepping on the shadows, Cervantes almost melted his body into the shadows.
It's still class time, the campus is very quiet, and the traditional mages are a group of otaku, so they don't go out easily.
Wrapped in a black 'night suit' and covered with a black cloth on his face, Cervantes quietly walked into the school building.
After using magic to change his appearance, Cervantes was only as tall as an average adult male, which was conducive to stealth.
Since ten minutes ago, he has not found any monitoring on this campus, which is a bit unfavorable to management, and this point is deducted.
"One oxygen atom plus two hydrogen atoms equals hydrogen oxide, which is what we often call 'water', we have taught this before, but why should we teach it now? Just like the 'trick' I taught you, the mage apprentices at this stage have not yet been able to distinguish the 'water element' in the atmosphere - this 'water' is a concept, an image, not an exact 'water' substance, I have already said this three times, and I do not want to emphasize it again in the future......"
In the quiet classroom, the teacher is teaching knowledge on the podium, and the students in the audience are eager to learn, and not even one of them is willing to make the slightest noise that might interfere with the teaching.
Now the teacher seems to be teaching how to use this knowledge to make a 'water molecule'.
Water is capable of making hydrogen and oxygen atoms, as well as other chemical elements, so magic cannot be used to make 'safe drinking water'.
But thanks to this knowledge, mages can now use magic to make water.
"For magic, you only need to 'know what it is' now, and 'know why it is' is something that you need to face later, and I am explaining to you the principle of this magic now, but you don't need to know how magic is formed. All you have to do now is to follow the steps, chant mantras, self-suggestion, and cast spells, and don't do anything extra!"
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Cervantes really couldn't believe that a 'simple' teaching task could force a sane mage to do this.
The reason why the mage has emphasized it again and again is probably because he has experienced many unknown ups and downs.
Looking up at the time, Cervantes chose to temporarily shift his position, looking at the time, it was almost the end of class now, but he hadn't had enough fun.
Although it was still some time before noon, the cafeteria had probably already started preparing lunch, otherwise it would definitely be too busy.
Cervantes ran to the cafeteria, which, according to Serrana's malicious design, was diagonally connected to the school building, and to get there, one had to pass a football field and a gymnasium.
Although she said that it was for the sake of the mage apprentices' bodies, it was not a good thing for young people to sit all day, and they needed to be active.
Before he could reach the cafeteria, Cervantes stopped.
"Isn't there a Great Wall at the border?"
The sudden activation of the Psychic Link caught him by surprise, and he hadn't had enough of it.
But the words that followed had to make his expression solemn.
"According to the news from the Great Wall, a group of astral whales appeared near the border, which means that the monsters of the Atoso Mountains should have also appeared in the outer area, and after them...... Monsters from the Inland Sea may also come out!"
That's not good news......
