Fanatics of the Magic Academy

After Rose and the magician finished making the changes, the magician looked up and couldn't help but recall the first time he met Hope.

He wanted to find an agent in the slums to assist with his research.

He needed to find someone with some influence in the slums who had the ability to collect corpses.

Then he set his sights on Hope, the manager of the soup kitchen in the slums.

Then he communicated and exchanged ideas with Hope. He originally thought that he would have to use some means to win Hope over.

When he told Hope that his job was to conduct experiments on homeless people in the slums, during which those homeless people would suffer greatly.

He also needed to dissect corpses and conduct horrific experiments.

After listening, Hope remained silent for a long time.

Then, seeing that he didn't speak, he asked in confusion:

"Now that we've covered the advantages, what about the disadvantages?"

He couldn't figure it out at the time, and then he realized that Hope was a remarkable person.

The two were in a sorry state... After they started working together, the experimental data that Hope provided each time was surprisingly accurate and exaggerated.

Each time, he would only give a very small target, and then Hope would take the initiative to conduct extreme experiments that far exceeded the target.

At the time, he wasn't thinking that much about it; he was just focused on doing his own experiments.

I never expected this old guy to be so capable.

The two tidied up and made modifications, and then further disguised the entire basement.

Some experimental traces were removed, leaving only pure abnormality.

Then, the magician took out a property deed from his pocket and handed it to Rose.

Rose didn't touch the paper; instead, she activated [Transform into Cloud Form], subtly manipulating the wind surrounding her body.

He gently lifted the property deed, which floated in the air. Rose examined it carefully and nodded.

In reality, Rose was faking it.

Although he could read the text, he couldn't determine whether it had any legal effect or was genuine.

Rose lacked the relevant knowledge to make the distinction.

However, Rose was not entirely faking it.

He carefully observed whether there were any clever little traps on it, and he kept using the "Transform into Cloud Form" to sense, caress, and check it.

After confirming that there were no problems, I accepted it.

The magician, holding a stack of documents, nodded to Rose and said:

"Would you like to cooperate successfully?"

Rose nodded and said:

"It's a pleasure working with you."

The magician felt that Rose had a strange little quirk, which was that he had transformed his own flesh and blood into that of a child.

However, the overall situation remains within the bounds of reason and negotiation.

He was one of the few people in the slums who still maintained their rationality and were able to communicate.

He casually mentioned it to Rose:

"You probably noticed it too, right? Some madman unleashed a spell with power approaching that of a mid-second-circle cultivator in the slums. From what I saw, that location looked like a gang run by a mage."

"He's insane! He's really not afraid of those guys from the Bureau getting him arrested."

Rose, as always, delivered a flawless and effortless response:

"Indeed, I saw it too."

The magician thought for a moment and said:

"However, the first person to have a headache should be the magician behind that gang. There is also a magician behind that gang, who is most likely also a second-level magician."

"If those guys at the Administration Bureau want to investigate this, they'll definitely trace it back to that person first, and that guy will probably block the entire investigation."

They'll most likely clean out the rest of the gang, but how many will survive the magical attack is another matter entirely.

"But after that, I reckon there will be a free-fighting match, hehe, there'll be a good show to watch."

Meanwhile, Rose, the culprit, remained silent, processing the information provided by this person.

Good news: He's unlikely to be targeted by the authorities, and someone will help clean up the mess he made.

Bad news: There's also a sorcerer behind that BYD gang. He left many traces, and there are probably many witnesses along the way who saw him unleash the [Cyclic Fireball].

That person is very likely to block the doorway.

However, compared to official actions, this kind of private retaliation might be more advantageous for Roseau.

Because if Rose were to resist official arrest and crackdowns, she would almost only be able to resort to magical means.

Because if he uses the methods of the [Ancient Dragon Followers] and doesn't handle the aftermath properly, he will face pursuit from the entire magical world.

As for personal revenge, Rose could more easily handle the aftermath and could appropriately reveal his identity as a [Follower of the Ancient Dragon].

Thinking of this, Rose nodded and said to the magician:

"Indeed, things around here have been getting increasingly chaotic lately."

The magician nodded in deep agreement:

"Indeed, a while ago, a cultist escaped from this area and killed many nobles. The fact that this area is keeping believers can no longer be kept secret."

Then they burned all those believers. Tsk tsk tsk, I never imagined anyone would keep believers as pets.

Rose paused for a moment.

According to what he saw in "The History of the Suppression of Believers," most of those who were kept as followers were treated as special commodities.

Only a select few who have completely lost their value will be burned at the stake.

Today, he was in a lot of emotional turmoil and indeed overlooked this point.

Why were those superior individuals whose bodies underwent special mutations sent to the stake?

The reason actually lies here.

It turned out that he had killed too many nobles, making it impossible to cover up the situation at the observation post.

After all, although everyone tacitly agrees to the role of the observation points, this thing cannot be made public.

The Magic Federation has clearly written the execution of believers into its constitution.

Everyone knows what they're doing behind the scenes, but if it's out in the open, then it can only be handled according to the rules.

Rose fell silent for a moment.

He was already in a state of emotional collapse when he killed the nobles, and all he wanted to do after he finished was run away.

However, the related loose ends were not handled properly.

In reality, even if Rose had foreseen this situation, she was truly powerless to change it.

At that time, Rose herself could barely survive in the slums.

In order to avoid revealing their identity as believers, they are limited by their concentration and can only move freely for half of the day.

If your concentration drops even slightly, you have to go back to the trash can to regain it and start [Ancient Dragon Meditation] with the food from the porridge distribution center.

Not to mention protecting a group of believers whose personalities were almost destroyed, whose bodies had undergone corresponding mutations, and who had no extraordinary powers because they had been castrated by their faith in the gods.

But at least, after Rose destroyed this observation point, rebuilding the nearby observation points will be ridiculously difficult.

After all, cultists who killed nobles have appeared here before. Even if it's rebuilt, how many nobles will come to visit? How many will come to trade?

Furthermore, it was exposed to the light of day.

For at least a long time, no one in this area will be abducted and turned into a believer, becoming a commodity.

Rose thought to herself.
