Chapter 638: Holy See Pontifical University and Dragon Alchemy University
"I have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

After returning to the inn in the dock area from the Holy See, Leonardo had just walked into the room of Dean Senius when he heard him announcing the next results to everyone.

Leonardo squeezed into the room, said hello and sat down by the window.

"That's good news," a scholar suggested.

"The good news is that we have won the right to run the Holy See Pontifical University, and all the privileges we had before are intact."

The other scholars immediately cheered softly.

"What about the bad news?" Leonardo asked.

"The bad news is that the Dragon Language Scholars Association has also obtained the right to run a school, so we will need to share the school building with them in the next six months."

"Aren't both of these bad news?" Silvanik's complaint sounded so harsh amid the cheers.

"Silvanic, what did you just say?" Senius couldn't help but stretch his neck and look at Silvanic who was sitting behind everyone.

Everyone followed his gaze and looked over.

"These Saviors will be defeated by the Leia people sooner or later. Isn't this the way the Dragon Language Scholars are looking for death?" Seeing everyone looking at him, Silvanic stood up from his chair and said, "What are you fighting with them for? Stop being so childish, okay?"

"Silvanic, listen to me." Senius pulled the corner of Silvanic's clothes and motioned him to sit down. "At first I only considered the Holy Armory as a backup, but now it has become my first choice."

"First choice?" Silvanic pulled his hair in pain. "I don't understand. Flower Hill City is so good. Although this place looks good, it is a small border town after all."

"Silvanic." Senius looked back at the other scholars and said with a wry smile, "You know, if we go to Flower Hill City, our civilian students will probably have difficulty paying for their daily living expenses, so they will most likely drop out of school.

They are all good kids who work very hard. Can you bear to see this?

Huaqiu Xinqiao University is full of talented people. Almost all the elite scholars in the empire gather here. If we ask ourselves, our academic level is only in the upper middle level.

If we cannot obtain full-time tutor status, we will not be able to obtain sufficient income from the school's sponsors and students to support academic research or even daily life.

Our lives and achievements then may not be as good as they are here.

But the Holy See is different. They recruit us by recruiting and granting us official positions.

They will first establish the Pontifical University of the Holy See and distribute annuities according to the three levels of dean, professor and lecturer. The number of students will not affect the amount of the annuity.

Many of our students are majoring in medicine and engineering. You may have read in Pravda that Daze Township has a series of water conservancy projects planned, and the most important thing in engineering is experience.

Even if the Salvation Army will be liquidated in the future, it will take at least two or three years. During this period, we will have accumulated a considerable amount of savings, and the students will be able to complete their studies. Isn’t that good?

By then, when these students graduate, we will return to King's University on River Island. Will Master Quevalin not allow us to come back?"

Silvanic gradually calmed down. After listening to Senius' words, he spoke for a long time: "Sir Senius, I am not prejudiced. Look at the Thousand River Valley. The tyrants are in power and the evil people are in chaos. It is really a chaotic place.

If the Leia invade in the future, you have the name of the Holy See Papal University, have you ever thought about what they will do to you?"

"After all, Senius is Master Quivalin's student. They wouldn't dare to do anything to Teacher Senius, right?" asked a scholar behind Senius.

Master Quevalin holds a high position as the president of King's University on River Island and also the Pope's theological advisor.

As long as it is not a serious crime and the identity is revealed in time, no matter who leads the troops, they will give face to Master Quevalin.

"Yes, but what about you? Are you Master Quevalin's students? Even if he can still protect you, where are your students?" Silvanic snorted coldly.

Several scholars looked at each other and stopped talking. They were either members of the Salin Scholars Association or had close ties with the Salin Scholars Association.

With the protection of the powerful people in El, they would at most be tortured and suffer a little, but it would be different for those students, they might really be beheaded.

"Then I will say that it was all my request and that I accepted the bribe and it had nothing to do with them. But that's the end of the matter after I'm arrested. No further investigation is allowed." Looking at the greasy wood grain on the table, Senius said calmly.

Leonardo, who was standing by the window admiring the moonlight, was suddenly startled: "Teacher Senius, you..."

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on even Silvanic, who was staring at Senius in front of him.

Senius's bald head reflected the candlelight. He said to Leonardo in a neutral tone, "The nobles know when to stop. Who knows what will come out if we continue to pursue the issue?"

As a dean, Senius was well aware of the rules of the game between noble churches.

Leonardo's heart tightened: "Then what should you do?"

"I'm old now, it's no big deal, can they chop me off?" Senius said with a smile, "At most they can lock me up for a few years, or at worst they can revoke my doctorate, and then I can just retire and live in seclusion."

The room fell silent for a moment, until Silvanic hesitated for a long time before speaking again with his eyes closed and teeth gritted: "I'm sorry, my students are different from you. Their time is precious and cannot be tainted. Please forgive me for having to leave."

Senius nodded: "I won't stop anyone who wants to go with you."

"Okay, I wish you a good dream." Silvanik stood up and walked to the door, suddenly remembering Leonardo's identity as a famous painter.

After hesitating for a while, he turned around and asked Leonardo at the window: "Leonardo, will you go with me the day after tomorrow? I believe that the bigwigs in Huaqiu City will not be stingy in supporting your studies, art, and perpetual motion machine."

Senius's face darkened for a moment, but Leonardo suppressed his dissatisfaction and said politely, "Don't bother me. I will go and see if their perpetual motion machine is real tomorrow. I will make my own decision then."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the hotel tomorrow." Silvanik stared at Leonardo's face with burning eyes.

"I might take a few more days off. This journey is too tiring."

Even if Leonardo didn't say it clearly, Silvanik understood the rejection behind Leonardo's words.

His face froze and he nodded: "Okay... I'll leave the day after tomorrow morning, you can come see me anytime."

After Silvanik left, before the door was even closed, a young scholar couldn't help but whispered, "Humph, despicable villain."

Senius stopped the scholar seriously and said, "Watch your mouth. Silvanik has his own students. He is just thinking about his students. There is nothing to criticize."

After reprimanding his student, Senius turned to Leonardo and said, "You should go with him. You need someone to introduce you to high society."

Leonardo shook his head: "Silvanic always says not to be defeated by money, but I think he is the one who is defeated by money. Will such a person be respected in the upper class?
Don't worry, I have a good chat with the eldest daughter of the Larkin family. If the day comes when I have to go to Flower Hill City, she will introduce me there."

"Then I feel relieved." After looking at Leonardo for a long while, Senius nodded with relief.

He yawned and stroked his beard: "I'm old. I'm sleepy after just having dinner. If you don't have anything to do, go back."

"See you tomorrow then, and have a sweet dream, Sir Senius."

Several scholars stood up and left Senius' room in the flickering candlelight.

Walking in the moonlit corridor, Leonardo turned his head and took one last look.

The door was shaking, just like the worries and expectations about the future shaking in their hearts.
