After I died of old age, I was reincarnated into another world and became a cat

Chapter 88: Dickrons

When the carriage arrived in front of the gate of Arres, the sky had darkened and the students were drowsy in the carriage. As the vehicle shook, many students woke up from their sleep, opened their hazy eyes and looked out the window, and what came into view was the once familiar city wall.

"We're here, we're here, wake up, don't sleep anymore."

After being away from school for nearly half a month, the students finally returned to this familiar place. They were very excited and hurriedly woke up the classmates who were still sleeping next to them.

For a moment, the two carriages became lively again.

"Hey, I'm finally back. Well, you should have a good rest when you get back. I've been exhausted from the long journey these days."

Anases stretched his limbs which were stiff from sitting in the car for a long time, and Ogudiel also stretched like him, and his whole body made crackling sounds.

"Yeah, young people have strong bodies."

"Haha, isn't brother Anases the same? He is still strong despite his age!"

La Luna put her legs on the seat, then hugged her knees with her hands, and curled up in the black cloak, quietly listening to the two people bragging to each other.

I don’t know why, but there is always a lingering feeling of depression in my heart.

It seems like something bad is about to happen.

After the carriage showed the logo of Alres College, the city gate was quickly opened and the carriage slowly drove towards the college in the city.

"Students, please be safe when getting off the bus. Don't crowd to avoid hitting other pedestrians. When crossing the road, pay attention to whether there are any vehicles around."

The driver slowly stopped the carriage on the side of the road opposite the college gate. Because it would be troublesome to turn around later, the driver simply sent the students directly to the gate across the street and then drove away.

La Luna looked at the familiar door and breathed a sigh of relief. Although there was always a feeling of depression in her heart, La Luna felt that the situation would be much better after she returned to the dormitory and had a good sleep.

"Strange, why is the academy so dark today?"

Walking into the gate of the academy, the magic lights above the academy road were extremely dim. Several students didn't pay attention when they came in and bumped into the threshold and almost fell.

power cut?

No, these don't seem to use electricity.

Looking at the academy, it seemed a little dark under the night sky. Without the brightness of the night in the past, the usually noisy and bustling academy also became quiet. Facing this scene, La Luna's depression increased.

"Are they graduates from this year's internship class?"

A dark voice suddenly sounded in front of the students, scaring the student standing in front.

"Shh..."

All the students were attracted by this voice, and only then did they realize through the extremely dim light that the other party was a junior lecturer.

"Hello, you must be Instructor La Luna. The dean said you would be back today, so he asked me to wait for you at the door."

"The Dean... The Dean is back?"

Speaking of the dean, La Luna immediately thought of the little old man with a long beard who gave her a gift when they first met.

Although everyone became more accustomed to calling Lilith the Dean after the Dean had left for a while, in La Luna's inherent impression, the name of Dean was always inseparable from the image of the old man.

After hearing La Luna's question, the lecturer was silent for a moment and then shook his head.

"The dean will tell you about this matter in detail. She is waiting for you in the dean's office now. As for the other students, oh, are you the two instructors Anases and Ogudiel? Please take the students back to your classroom or dormitory later. Please keep quiet during this time. After that, please come to the Academic Affairs Office for a meeting. The school has some things to announce."

The two instructors were a little surprised. Normally, teachers would pick a place to hold a meeting as long as it was big and quiet enough, even a hotel would do.

And this time, they actually called the tutor directly to the Academic Affairs Office... No need to think too much, this must be a very important meeting.

So the two of them nodded seriously, and then led the students back to the dormitory.

But La Luna stood there, reluctant to move.

"Lady Laluna, please go quickly. The dean has been waiting for you since noon."

The lecturer came close to La Luna and spoke quietly.

"Ah."

La Luna glanced in the direction of the dean's office with complicated eyes.

At this time, she already had a rough guess in her mind.

In the Dean's office.

Lilith sat quietly at her desk, correcting the documents on the table, and the desk lamp on Lilith's desk was probably the brightest one in the academy today.

"dong dong dong"

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Please come in."

The office door was gradually pushed open, and a pair of cat ears first popped out from the crack in the door.

"I heard you were looking for me?"

La Luna's voice rang out in the office. Lilith paused for a moment, then she breathed a sigh of relief, put down the pen in her hand, and picked up the cup of completely cold black tea next to her.

"Yes, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Please sit down."

Lilith picked up her cup and gestured to the long sofa next to the coffee table in front of the desk.

La Luna nodded, then walked to the sofa and sat down, and helped tidy up the messy coffee table in front of the sofa.

"Do you know why I rushed to find you and didn't even let you take a break?"

"uh-huh."

La Luna said nothing, but shrugged slightly.

Lilith hesitantly took a sip of the cold tea in the cup, then simply lifted the cup and poured the remaining tea into her mouth.

A cold, bitter feeling spread from the tip of my tongue.

It turns out that having a sense of taste is not that wonderful.

"The latest news is that the dean, Dickrons, has died, along with all the members of the team. Except for one person who is missing, the bodies of all the others have been found."

At this point, Lilith's voice stopped abruptly. La Luna did not speak either. She just quietly lit the teapot beside her and boiled a new pot of tea.

In this way, the only sound in the office could be heard was the sound of the flame licking the bottom of the pot. As time passed, a faint white steam gradually emerged from the mouth of the pot.

"So you are the new headmaster now."

La Luna spoke first, breaking the silence.

Lilith stroked her hair irritably.

It was only then that La Luna discovered that Lilith's long hair, which had once been shiny, now looked a little withered.

"Yes."

Finally, Lilith seemed to have lost all her strength, nodded, and acknowledged La Luna's words.

"So..congratulations?"

La Luna held the teapot and gently took the teacup from Lilith's hand. Then a line of amber water poured out from the mouth of the pot and poured into the cup.

"please."

Chapter 89: 3 AM

"Thanks……"

"I think instead of thanking me, you should get yourself a secretary."

"Do you want to be one?"

"That's it."

"I mean it."

"Me too."

Lilith crossed her hands, rested her elbows on the table and stared at La Luna for a moment.

"Okay, I guess you, a little kitty, don't like to stay in one place."

Then Lilith sighed and looked away.

"So you called me here so late just to tell me about the dean's sacrifice and to ask me if I'm willing to be your secretary?"

Why does it sound so similar that the villain, after taking power, threatened the staff to become his secretaries?

"of course not."

Lilith took a sip of the warm and still hot black tea, then put down the cup and continued to search in the file cabinet behind her which used to be the bookcase.

Finally, a file was pulled out.

"Look for yourself. This is a list of all the people who died or went missing during this time who served in the school."

La Luna picked it up curiously and flipped through two pages, then continued turning the pages by skipping.

"Is... the dean crazy?"

Jumping directly to the last page, La Luna's face turned pale.

"Yes, I also suspect that guy is crazy."

Lilith nodded indifferently.

The reason for saying this is that according to that file, the magic level of every member is at the level of a great magician, which is the same level as Lilith, and the positions they hold in school from high to low are the dean, vice-dean, and the deans of the various magic departments of the academy, and the lowest is already the director of the school's academic affairs office.

In other words, after this battle, all the top leaders of the academy were wiped out!

"What on earth is he thinking about..."

La Luna felt that her tone was a little weak.

"This is the best chance to wipe out the termites, a rare opportunity for mankind that only comes once in a thousand years... I really suspect this is a trap."

Lilith also closed her eyes, then leaned back and lay down on the big chair.

"A trap to destroy our school's top management."

"Your Majesty...?"

"impossible."

La Luna gently stated her guess about the person, but it was immediately rejected by Lilith.

"It can't be His Majesty the Emperor."

Lilith explained to LaLuna, shaking her head.

"His Majesty studied in our school and graduated successfully. He is very respectful to the dean. I was a little skeptical at first, but according to all the information available, His Majesty is living and studying happily in the school, and he also met his beloved wife. Yes, the queen is also a student of our school."

La Luna was stunned by the news that Lilith suddenly revealed.

"After graduation, His Majesty the Emperor showed his affection for his alma mater without reservation. Since ascending the throne, he has never failed to give our college preferential treatment in various aspects. This is only on a personal level. If we consider it from the perspective of the country, the dean represents the leader of the Northern Magic Legion. Although there are no signs of invasion from the northern alien races, no one in the empire would be stupid enough to frame a person of this level."

After saying this, Lilith breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered her voice and spoke to La Luna again.

"The message first passed through the imperial capital and then reached our school. According to the messenger, when His Majesty learned that his mentor had died in battle, he did not eat for a day and a night."

After hearing this, La Luna realized that she had said too much and then silently shut her mouth.

"Let's not worry about why the dean and his men died in battle. I called you here for another reason: I have something to ask of you."

"what's up."

"You will be the dean of the magic department for the time being."

"Clam?!"

"No kidding, I have seen the group of students you taught. Their magic level is now very high. The other students and teachers in the academy can all see it."

"Wait, I just taught them the basics..."

Did I teach them a lot? No, didn't I?

"That would be even better. With just a little bit of instruction, the students will be able to demonstrate this ability. Now I am very optimistic about you, Dean La Luna."

"Can you change someone..."

La Luna asked Lilith with a sad face.
