Chapter 155 The Trial of the Magic Goddess

Jianhe County.

The river flows through the lush green grass, and the sunset ignites the fiery clouds in the sky.

The blond and blue-eyed literary girl stood on the arch bridge over Jian River, her cheeks stained with the blush of a young girl in love. She looked up at the sunset, placed the book on her chest, and whispered softly:
"'The voices I hear tonight were once heard by kings and commoners in ancient times', Sir Yeats, how well he wrote it..."

At the mid-spring poetry meeting, "Ode to a Nightingale" written by Yeats has spread to Cam River County through the mouths of bards.

In Cam, a university with a strong literary and liberal atmosphere, poetry is particularly popular, and Elsa Wick also has a special liking for excellent works.

As the second daughter of the famous Vick family, she is the most beloved daughter of Duke Vick.

Even the Vic family is seen as a strong claimant to the Golden Lion throne.

But Elsa still had little interest in politics and was more interested in romantic poetry and knight novels.

The Duchess commented on her daughter, saying that she had the two magic weapons of a woman: a pretty face and an empty brain, and that her married life would be quite happy.

Elsa was very angry about this. After all, she was admitted to the Poets College of Jianhe University based on her own ability.

In the examination room, the examiners saw the portrait she drew of her father and praised her as a painting genius!

The lake was covered with ripples. The artistic girl's emerald eyes reflected the lake water wrinkled by the spring breeze. She held up her golden hair with her slender hands and murmured:
"The wind is very noisy today..."

"Hey--"

On the shore, the handsome elf in a bright red robe was full of surprise, and said excitedly to his companions on the green grass by the river:

"The cafe next to the Jian River offers half-price sandwiches today!"

The response from fellow students was enthusiastic.

"Great! I've been waiting for this event to start!"

"Peren, you are broke again, right? Which minotaur lady did you spend it on?"

"Nonsense, I've met Peren's last girlfriend, she's clearly a troll!"

Perron shook his head repeatedly: "If you don't leave now, all the sandwiches will be snatched up."

At this moment, an extremely sharp gaze came over.

As if cursing him for destroying the poetic atmosphere.

Elsa: (Fuck)
Perron: “…”

The daughter of the Duke of Vic?

It seems that she is interested in me, but unfortunately she doesn't suit my aesthetic taste, so there is no need to waste my time.

"Wait for me, half-price sandwiches!" Perren trotted along the river bank to catch up with his companions who had long gone away.

There are three major colleges in Jianhe University: the College of Poets, the College of Mages, and the College of Knights. Elsa remembers Perron, an elf poet who had fallen to the point of being expelled from the College of Poets.

Thanks to his personal relationship with Richard, the president of the Poets Academy, he was able to retain his student status.

This made Elsa, who never used connections, feel deeply disdainful.

At this time, Elsa looked up and saw five Hippogriffs flying across the dusk sky and heading towards the green meadow on the other side of the bridge.

Although flying mounts are out of reach for mortals, they are common in Cam River University. However, judging from the emblem, these Hippogriffs seem to come from the northern provinces.

Elsa couldn't help but take a closer look, and her eyes were immediately attracted by the silver-haired boy on one of the hippogriffs.

The Hippogriff landed on the green grass beside the Jian River.

The trainer pointed to the magnificent castle complex on the other side of the bridge and said, "Baron, we are just ahead."

It took nearly ten hours to fly from Edinburgh to Cam River University. If we could have a flying mount with a higher ring number, this time could be greatly shortened.

Ye Zhi nodded slightly and rewarded him with a gold coin. The trainer thanked him repeatedly and led the eagle away.

Immediately, Ye Zhi looked at the white-robed wizard beside him and said:

"Teacher, I remember you are the honorary president of Jianhe University?"

Kendra nodded slightly: "When Jianhe University was first established, it was for the pursuit of knowledge and freedom, so it has close contacts with the Mage Guild."

"However, I served as the honorary principal more than ten years ago." Kendra smiled, "The current principal took office five years ago, she may not know me yet."

As a western fantasy game, "Phantom Wings" takes Jianhe University as one of the main college backgrounds, and its president likes to see a beautiful woman.

Ye Zhi remembered that the principal was a silver-haired elf who had special attacks on XP.

Jianhe University has a very special status in the Golden Lion Kingdom. It does not belong to the territory but is managed independently by the university.

This privilege was recognized by the King of Golden Lion and even approved by the Pope. Only Cam River and Taim River University in the entire Golden Lion enjoyed this privilege.

"Let's just wait here." Kendra said calmly, "I've received a text message, and someone will be out to greet you soon."

On the other side, Elsa pretended to look at the scenery on the bridge, and occasionally glanced at Yeats and his group out of the corner of her eye.

"He's so young, could he be a new student?" Elsa thought, "This junior is even more handsome than Peren..."

Not long after, an alpaca with a bell tied to it came over, with Richard, the dean of the Poets Academy, riding on its back.

Why is the dean here? Elsa was not surprised for long, but saw the dean chatting with the silver-haired boy.

"Baron Yeats, how are you?" Richard said with a smile.

"Dean Richard." The silver-haired boy nodded slightly, "I'm here to handle the admissions process."

Elsa only felt a buzzing sound in her head.

Lord Yeats, it was he who wrote Ode to a Nightingale!
Richard was a little surprised and said, "But, I am inviting you to take the position of lecturer at the Poet Academy?"

Elsa was stunned, wondering if she had heard it wrong.

lecturer?

How come the good-looking junior suddenly became a teacher?
"You misunderstood." Ye Zhi smiled slightly, "It's not me who is enrolled, but my magical pet."

As he spoke, Ye Zhi cast a spell and the magical pet plane opened.

It was dusk, and an owl with bright eyes flew out, circled over everyone's heads, and landed on Yeats's outstretched arm.

"Goo!"

The snowy owl enjoyed Yeats's touch, squinting its eyes and pulling its head into its fluffy white feathers.

Richard pointed at the owl and said in a daze: "But this..."

"I was the one who admitted Snow Owl to the school." Kendra motioned for Yeats to take out the handwritten letter and immediately handed it to Richard: "Give this letter to your principal, she will understand everything."

The matter was of great importance, so Richard took the envelope and said he would communicate with Principal Fina via text message.

After a moment, Richard's face turned serious, and he handed the envelope back to Yeats, saying:
"No need for this letter, Baron Yeats, Principal Fina will be here soon."

The literary girl stood on the bridge, feeling her brain overloaded and her expression dazed.

Isn't Yeats just a baron? Why did he make Dean Richard so respectful and alarm Principal Fina?
After a while.

A tall and graceful silver-haired elf with shoulder-length hair and deep eyes, wearing a blue robe embroidered with silver edges, holding a sapphire staff, walked slowly towards them.

Fina Silvershine has lived for hundreds of years. Although her appearance remains the same, she is already middle-aged even among the elves, and she is as calm and steady as an ancient well.

"The principal is really here!" Elsa couldn't keep calm. She raised the book in her hand to cover herself and glanced around wildly.

"Wow—"

At this time, the long roar of a young owlbear was heard by the lake.

The elf in a bright red robe held a sandwich in one hand, enjoying it, while with the other hand he held the reins around the young owlbear's neck.

"Peren." Fina was obviously impressed by this poor student and said calmly, "I have reminded you many times that you are not allowed to summon magical pets at will on campus."

"Yes, dear principal." Perron said politely, "However, I have not signed a contract with this owlbear, so this owlbear is wild."

"Dean Richard, your students are really eloquent." Fina said lightly.

Richard was sweating profusely and said, "It's my fault for not disciplining him properly... I will seriously reflect on this when I return."

"At your age, you shouldn't lose your temper anymore, dear principal." Perron spread his hands and said, "Otherwise, even an elf will get wrinkles."

Fina said nothing and glanced at Dean Richard.

Richard lowered his head even lower.

"what--"

Perron just noticed the silver-haired boy not far away. His voice was trembling, like a tenor in a drama, high-pitched and shocked:

"Why are you here too? Chosen by the God of Art? Are you going to participate in the trial of the Goddess of Magic as well?"

All eyes present were focused on the silver-haired boy.

Art God's Choice!
A hint of hidden surprise flashed across the depths of the silver-haired elf Fina's eyes.

The literary girl was in a daze, and the poetry collection in her hand fell into Jian River and floated away with the river.

Yeats did not expect to meet an old friend here.

Judging from Peren's words, the trial of the Magic Goddess is about to begin, and this news has spread within Jianhe University.

However, Ye Zhi obtained the information with the help of his foresight, so he pretended not to understand and said:
"The Trial of the Magic Goddess? What is that?"
