I rely on myself

Chapter 788: The True Temple of Fools

In the dark underground space, there is a palace with a round roof like a mosque and white exterior walls. It looks very beautiful and full of mystery.

Monsters were wandering around the palace, but they did not approach it because there was a very complex, delicate and dense barrier around the palace that prevented the monsters from getting close.

This is the "Church of Fools" in the basement of the academy, or the real "Church of Fools", which is the facility used by the dean to study divine mechanisms.

Now, when the academy was attacked on a large scale, the academy's top leaders all stayed here and did not show up. The only thing that could have caused this was the divine ingenuity that so many people were pursuing.

"...!"

Hearing the extremely light footsteps coming next to his ears, the dean suddenly showed a happy look, and couldn't wait to walk out of the palace to welcome the visitor.

The other college leaders were not surprised by the dean's less steady look. After all, they all knew how deep the dean's obsession with divine ingenuity was. Now that success was within reach, there was nothing they could do about it so he looked so excited.

As soon as the dean walked out of the palace, he saw the newcomer and smiled even more. He couldn't wait to say, "Oh! Magnus, you are finally back. And judging from your appearance, you must have successfully invited our guests."

The visitor was Magnus. Facing the enthusiasm of the dean, he still looked indifferent and replied in his usual cold tone: "Dean, I have brought the person back as you ordered."

Magnus said as he made way for the team that was following closely behind him, but in addition to the team, two other people were also brought here together, none other than Raijin and his automaton Yaya who had just been fighting with Magnus not long ago.

Although Lei Zhen immediately planned to escape after seeing the gap between himself and Magnus, unfortunately Magnus saw everything and it was impossible for him to escape.

Not only that, it even revealed a flaw, which allowed Magnus to take him down. Otherwise, even if Lei was really not as strong as Magnus, he would not be taken down so easily.

"Let me go! Akabane Tenzen, why on earth did you bring me and Ye Ye here?!"

Although Lei Zhen was captured and tied up at this time, he was conscious. So when he saw the dean appear, the bad intuition in his heart became stronger and he subconsciously started to make a noise.

As for Lei Zhen's automatic doll Ye Ye, she seemed to have completely lost consciousness at this time. This was Magnus's doing. After all, Ye Ye was the Moon Girl of "Snow Moon Flower", the greatest masterpiece of "Hanayūsai". She should not be underestimated under any circumstances. So to be on the safe side, Magnus used some means to make her unconscious.

Magnus had no interest in answering Lei Zhen's questions, but the dean was different. He seemed happy to answer Lei Zhen's doubts.

"I'm sorry, Lei Zhen, for using such a rough method to bring you here, but there is no other way. After all, the current situation of the academy is as you can see, it is very bad, so this is the only way to deal with it in an emergency."

"……cut!"

Lei really didn't believe what the dean said, but even if he said it, it would be useless. The other party was obviously using force, and he was not as strong as the other party and could not resist at all.

"So what? Dean, why don't you come out to deal with those invaders at this time, but hide here, and even ask the number one to tie this 'second to last' here? What is the reason for this?" Lei Zhen asked another question that had arisen in his mind since he saw the dean. He really didn't understand.

From the dean's previous behavior, it can be seen that he attaches great importance to the college itself. As long as something happens that will affect the college, he will be the first to take action. But this time he allowed the group of black-robed magicians to destroy the college. This is completely inconsistent with his previous behavior, and can even be said to be completely opposite.

In fact, this is where Lei Zhen is missing the most important link, otherwise he could guess that the reason why the dean attaches so much importance to the college is because the college itself can bring him something important, so he attached so much importance to the college itself before, not because the college is very important to him.

The dean did not answer Lei Zhen's question immediately. Instead, he smiled mysteriously, turned and walked into the palace, motioning everyone to follow him.

Although he didn't want to follow, the situation at the moment left Lei Zhen with no other choice, so he had to walk into the palace under the escort of the team.

Just after everyone entered the palace, a barrier instantly rose up, completely sealing off the interior to prevent outsiders from sneaking in.

But just before the barrier closed completely, there was a sudden blur in the air, and before the barrier closed, someone entered the palace without triggering any warning mechanisms.

"Phew, luckily, I was worried about how to get in before, and now I just happened to have an opportunity. It seems that even God is on my side this time, hehehe..."

"Miss, although I really don't want to dampen your enthusiasm, I still want to remind you that we have only just come in, and we don't know what will happen next, so it's better to be careful."

"Well, OK, Xin, when you go back this time, you must drink the chili water through your nose. It must be very interesting."

"Well, although I don't really want to disturb you two, I still want to remind you that the people ahead have already started to walk away. In order to avoid any other barriers blocking the way later, we'd better hurry up and catch up."

"Oh, hehe, thank you. Fortunately, you are here, Brunhilde...Okay, Xin, we will talk about your punishment after we get back. Now take me in."

"Okay, miss, then Miss Brunhilde, it's..."

"Let me lead the way. After all, even though I haven't checked carefully, there are still many hidden traps around. Please be careful. If possible, please follow my steps."

"Yes, don't worry."

Three hidden figures talked to each other and followed the dean and his companions, heading deeper into the palace.

Along the way, perhaps because the plan was about to succeed, or for other reasons, the dean or the others did not notice anything wrong behind them. They kept moving forward, and soon they came to the depths of the palace.
