Chapter 147 The Traits of Origin Mages, Returning to the Great Archives

Seeing Zicomo finish off Jeremy, Serena couldn't help but marvel at Zicomo's performance.

She said, "My disciple, I never imagined you had grown to this level. Even the troubles that I found difficult were easily resolved by you. I heard what you just said, and I never realized how important I am to you. To be honest, I am very moved."

Zicomo shook his head and said, "The reason why the teacher finds it troublesome is simply because he is constrained, and this body is already extremely weak."

If it were Serenity at her peak, it's questionable whether Jellian could even defeat her. The main reason Jellian was able to seal her here was with the help of the magic academy.

“But no matter what, this body is no longer usable. My disciple, if possible, please find a new body for your master,” Seren said.

"Don't worry, teacher, I'm already prepared."

As he spoke, Zicomo took out the puppet body of the female Radiant Stone Mage that he had found in the basement of the dolls in Servis.

He originally intended to resolve Teacher Se-ryeon's troubles first before changing her body, but he didn't expect the so-called troubles to come knocking on his door so quickly.

Now that Jeremy has taken care of it, Zicomo simply decided to change Seren's body right here.

"Oh? My apprentice is indeed very well prepared," Seren said. "I won't say any more words of thanks, as that would make us seem distant. Well then, I'll leave the rest to you."

After saying this, Serian lowered his head and completely lost his breath.

The last ray of starlight from her body flew out and landed in Zicomo's palm.

This was a small piece of Source Stone that she originally intended to use to deceive Jellian and fake her own death; it was essentially a wisp of insignificant soul.

After receiving it, Zicomo did not rush to put the Source Stone into his new body. Instead, he took out the Soul Crystal that had been refined from Monger's soul.

Zicomo plans to insure the source of the gemstone from Professor Seren.

Judging from the two Origin Mages he encountered before, Yazler and Luther, the so-called Origin Mages would transform themselves into amber stars, becoming the so-called Star Children.

This can be seen from the fact that both masters had transformed into crystallized bodies.

The reason they were taciturn or even silent was because they had returned everything to its origin, leaving only a small amount of consciousness remaining in that body to guide those who came after them and shared the same ideals onto this path.

Zikomo couldn't accept that his teacher had become like that, so he decided to modify Teacher Seren's Source Stone.

By fusing the Soul Crystal and the Source Stone together, not only can the power of Teacher Seren be enhanced, but it can also prevent her from fully returning to her origin.

Zicomo's actions were equivalent to setting an anchor point within the Source Stone, allowing Seren to return to the Origin while simultaneously exploring the Origin and returning to the material world at any time.

Having done all this, Zicomo carefully placed the Source Stone into his new body.

A surge of magical energy rose from his new body, and Zicomo knew that it meant that his teacher, Seren, had woken up.

Sure enough, the next moment he heard Serian say, "Thank you, my good disciple. Thanks to you, I have obtained a new body. This body is very good, young and healthy, and it is very compatible with the Source Stone. Moreover, that hateful restriction no longer exists."

Before Zicomo could answer, Seren continued, "Also, what did you do to my Source Stone? I feel it has become much stronger."

Zicomo chuckled, "Hehe, it's nothing. It's just the addition of a demigod's soul power."

Serian sighed and said, "Alas, my disciple! Why are you so good to your teacher? Now I owe you more and more, and I will feel uneasy."

Zicomo waved his hand and said, "Didn't you also teach me without holding anything back from the beginning? I see how good you are to me, so naturally I will do my best to be good to you in return."

Although Seren was not exactly a good person, her attitude towards Zicomo was genuinely exceptional. In particular, the alchemy she taught Zicomo has benefited him immensely to this day.

That is why Zicomo is incredibly grateful to the teacher who led him into the world of magic.

“…I see. I understand. My apprentice has been so good to me, so as her teacher, I must repay you. Let me do something small for you.” Selian said as he walked outside.

"Let's go, disciple. Accompany me back to Realucaria, and see how your master will help you subdue those mages."

Seren's tone was filled with resentment, clearly indicating that she had no goodwill towards the mages who had banished her.

Zicomo prayed silently for the group of magicians. He had already swept through the magic academy when he explored it, and now all that was left were remnants of the defeated army.

Hopefully, they'll survive facing Teacher Seolyeom's wrath.

As for stopping Seoryeon from killing someone, sorry, Zicomo didn't have that idea. He said that as long as Teacher Seoryeon is happy, that's all that matters.

At worst, we can rebuild the order and recruit new people. The magic academy has always been full of people who only know how to show off their knowledge. They've been using the most basic gem magic for so many years.

Don't say that's because Rena La restricted them. They've been rebelling for years, and Rena La has been under house arrest in the Grand Archives by them.

Even so, they still lack any innovative spirit and haven't made any progress over the years. They have clearly lost their spirit of exploring magic.

Let Teacher Seren get rid of them if he wants, as long as the tradition continues. We can recruit a new batch of people then, injecting fresh blood into the academy.

…………

The Grand Archives of Realucalia has become the residence of Queen Renara of the Full Moon.

Zicomo brought Seren here on a magic carpet. The reason he didn't use a flying broom was because Lani herself was also with him.

Yes, you read that right, it's Lani herself, not her doll body.

Lani is no longer so averse to traversing the borderlands in her young body. Besides, the purpose of this trip is to visit her mother, and using a doll's body feels somewhat inappropriate.

After the three of them got off the flying carpet, Seren asked, "This is a very convenient mode of transportation. Can I take a look at it?"

Zicomo sensed a strong desire to explore in her tone; he knew that Professor Serenity was simply enjoying the process of exploring the principles.

Otherwise, she would have asked if she could have a copy.

After rolling up the flying carpet, Zicomo handed it to Serenity. Given her skill level, she estimated that it wouldn't take more than two days for her to figure out how the flying carpet worked.

The three entered the Great Archives and immediately saw Iggy guarding the entrance.

He was brought here by Lani to serve as a guard to protect Rena La from being disturbed by villains.

On the other hand, it was also to ensure Igi's safety, to have Rena La look after him, and to prevent him from being killed by the Black Knife assassin.

When Igi saw Zikomo walk in, he asked, "Oh, it's Lord Zikomo. It's been a long time. How is Lady Lani?"

“Lani, isn’t she right here?” Zicomo pointed to Lani, who was standing next to him.

"You are... Lady Lani? How did you become so young?"

As Lani's strategist, Igi had served her since she was a child, so he naturally knew what Lani looked like as a child. Now, reminded by Zikomo, Igi quickly recognized young Lani beside Zikomo.

Lani said, "Don't panic. With the King's help, I have regained my body, but it is still in its infancy."

“That’s wonderful, that’s certainly something to be happy about,” Iggy said happily. “By the way, you’re here to see Her Majesty the Queen, right? Then I won’t disturb you any longer.”

After saying that, Igi retreated to the anvil on the side.

Yes, this strategist brought his anvil with him. Being a strategist is his profession, while blacksmithing is his hobby.

The three arrived at the depths of the Great Archives and met Queen Renara of the Full Moon.

Rena La sensed someone's arrival and turned around. The first thing she saw was young Lani.

Although she didn't know why her hair had turned blue, she was certain it was her daughter.

She said, "It's been so long, my daughter. How did you become so young? Were you reborn? But as your mother, I'm so happy for you to have a body again."

Lani nodded; strictly speaking, she had indeed been reborn.

“That’s wonderful! Come here and let your mother hold you. I haven’t hugged my child in so long.” Lena La reached out her hands to Lani.

Although Lani was somewhat overwhelmed by Rena La's enthusiasm, she did not refuse her mother.

She took a few steps forward and let Lena hug her. She quietly enjoyed the warmth of her mother's embrace.

A moment later, Lena released Lani and looked at Zicomo, asking, "So, what brings you here today? Are you here to settle scores?"

As she spoke, Rena looked at Seren, who was standing next to Zicomo.

Rena Ra still remembered the cube witch who had been banished by her for violating taboos.

Seeing Seren again, Renara instinctively thought she was there to cause trouble.

Zicomo shook his head and said, "You misunderstand. We're here mainly because..."

Chapter 148 Good Teacher Seren, Sleeping Girl Fia

Zicomo shook his head and said, "You misunderstand. Our main purpose in coming here is to reclaim the Magic Academy. Of course, after recapturing it, I also want to make some changes to the Magic Academy's doctrines."

Lena La hadn't expected that this was the purpose of Zicomo's trip.

"So, she's the academy leader you chose?" Lena asked.

"Yes."

Lena La remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Very well, you are now Lani's partner, and by right, you are also the king of Kalia. Since my child has no objections, then you may do as you please."

There is never absolute right or wrong in border areas; people simply have different perspectives. The war between Kalia and the Magic Academy stemmed from their differing beliefs about power.

The first magical war ended in Kalia's victory. After that, Renara did try to integrate star magic and moon magic. The group of magicians in the Razli classroom who regarded the stars and the moon as equals were Renara's attempts.

Unfortunately, before any results could be seen, the Second Magic War broke out.

Radagan's sudden departure seemed to have taken away Renara's heroic fighting spirit as well. From then on, Renara spent her days embracing the amber egg Radagan had given her, wallowing in self-pity, until she eventually fell into a deep sleep.

Realizing this, the magic academy quickly launched a rebellion, even placing Renara under house arrest in the Grand Archives, making the Kalia royal family hesitant to act. This also caused the Second Magic War to remain in a stalemate until the arrival of Zikomo broke the deadlock.

Although Rena has now awakened from her slumber, the heart of a hero is no more.

She had long ago entrusted everything concerning Kalia to Iggy, the strategist under Lani's command. Through Iggy's few words, she also sensed the current turmoil at the border.

Since the king chosen by Lani has the ambition to revitalize Lienia, Lena La naturally supports him.

To her surprise, Zicomo didn't seem to intend to take action himself, but instead chose a witch who had previously touched taboos to lead the matter, which worried Renara.
