Witch, don't be so lazy

"Because teaching assistants are paid very well and hold a high status. The so-called 'teaching assistant' position is only within the academy. If they are tasked with carrying out missions outside, they are directly under the jurisdiction of the Tower Council as special commissioners."

"As for the other Northern Territory mages, it's impossible for them to become teaching assistants. Of course, if they want to become special commissioners, there are ways. As long as they reach the fourth level and become teachers in the academy, they can be considered special commissioners when they go out."

This magical and violent institution, integrating industry, academia, and research, is truly worthy of being named "Tower"...

An Ke was stunned when she heard this.

But if you think about it carefully, it is normal that the academy in the magical world is different from the school in the previous life. After all, the magical knowledge here has a great impact on combat effectiveness.

"Then is Sister Momo the youngest teaching assistant?"

Encore's eyes are full of stars.

"certainly--"

Momo had just put her hands on her hips when she was ruthlessly interrupted.

"of course not!"

Xiao Hui poured cold water on her, "Momo, you must first complete your graduation tasks and end your Tianti academic year early. Only then can you officially become a teaching assistant."

...Although "teaching assistant" sounds like a part-time job for students, it is actually considered a job, just like the doctorate and postdoctoral fellow in the previous life. People who don't know may mistakenly think that both are degrees, but the postdoctoral fellow is a serious scientific research position.

Anke blinked and translated in his mind.

"Lululu, when Momo returns, she will be the youngest teaching assistant—"

Momo stuck out her tongue at Xiaohui.

"That's not true. According to the Hall of Fame's historical records, Her Majesty the Sea Witch, Raikis, was a year ahead of you. The three Demon Contractors were seven and eight months ahead of you respectively. The Reincarnated Holy Spirit was three months ahead of you, and Mr. Zedo, the Aerial Traveler, was a month ahead of you."

Xiao Hui swung his tail and retorted bluntly.

For a moment, both sides seemed to enter a fighting mode.

"Then Momo is currently the youngest teaching assistant in the academy!"

Momo glared at Xiaohui.

"Well, that's only temporary and questionable, because Miss Lorena has already reached the third level after only one year of school..."

"Ah ...

Momo puffed up her cheeks and used her ruthless iron hand to grab the little gray gecko and lift it high, ending the brief struggle with force.

"Ahem, but Momo is still incredibly powerful. She achieved it two months earlier than Her Majesty the Golden Witch Saoirse... Ah! Hey, that's not fair. I already praised you, why are you still pinching me?!"

Xiao Hui twisted desperately in Momo's palm and shouted loudly in protest. The giant white eagle also shook, and An Ke was so scared that his face turned pale, fearing that the plane would crash at any time.

"Because Xiao Hui said it in advance, we won't be surprised when Xiao Anke gets into the Hall of Fame. How will Momo show off when the time comes?"

Momo questioned loudly.

Xiao Hui's voice suddenly weakened: "Oh, I'm sorry. Then we can think of another way later?"

"That's more like it. I can barely forgive Xiao Hui."

Momo nodded with satisfaction and put the little gecko back on her shoulder. "I have to come up with something that can scare little Anke."

"Well, leave it to me!"

...Although I'm glad that your quarrel ended so quickly and the giant eagle stopped shaking, please don't plot loudly in front of me. I don't know what expression to make.

An Ke wanted to say something but stopped herself, and finally could only pretend not to hear.

Waited for a while.

She opened the topic again: "So even if the Calamity Cult and the Well of Silence join forces, Sister Momo should be confident that she can cooperate with the Lord of Kunda to defeat them, right?"

An Ke hesitated. "The opposing team is quite impressive. A Tier 3 Necromancer, a Tier 3 Wailing Angel, and that Blightbringer has a Serpent Staff in his hand, so he should also be considered a Tier 3? Three Tier 3 enemies?"

"Hmm... barely, but they're all weaker level three."

Momo tilted her head. "Strictly speaking, the Apostle of the Well of Silence is quite powerful, but he has already used up most of his resources in advance. The Lord of Kunda also has the Requiem Record, so the chances of winning should be very high."

"As for the Wailing Angel, thanks to Little Anke's actions, it's impossible for it to activate in perfect form. It's destined to be a defective product. It may not even be able to defeat the Kunda City Lord. After all, it takes time for the noise to overwhelm the ensemble, and the more hastily it is activated, the longer it will take to evolve. We can't give it that chance."

"As for the Abyssal Serpent Staff, uh, it has quite a few functions. It can control snakes to transmit messages in daily life, and it can even summon massive numbers of black snakes in battle. If you're willing to use up all the Netherworld Filth within, it can also... uh, what else can it do?"

Momo looked at Xiaohui.

"Transformed into a third-level Abyssal Serpent, I can no longer cast spells freely and can only use the innate abilities of the serpent. This is equivalent to casting a high-level spell from the Natural School, Transfiguration: Sea Serpent."

As a knowledgeable external brain, Xiao Hui quickly gave an answer.

"The Abyss Serpent is certainly a powerful monster, but once it leaves the sea, some of its abilities will be weakened. Furthermore, the Transformer isn't a native monster and lacks the skill and experience to use its abilities. It will most likely be relegated to the weakest tier of the three."

"However, the current situation is still very serious, because the dark wizards of the Unlight Society are likely still hiding somewhere, and we also have to worry about Sutur's affairs—"

Xiao Hui sighed, feeling helpless. "The Well of Silence has given up its plan to turn Surtur into a dracolich. This is both a good thing and a bad thing for us."

An Ke pursed her lips, she understood what Xiao Hui meant.

Bro no longer tried to fight for Sutur. The good thing was that the Well of Silence could not obtain a new fourth level and could not bring great disaster to the North. The bad thing was that he could now target Sutur without any scruples and use all means to destroy the city of Asda.

For example, he had previously spent a lot of resources on a ceremony, not for anything else, but just to pollute Sutur's soul and new body, which greatly worsened the other party's condition and forced the Lord of Kunda to have no time to split himself.

There is an unfortunate truth in this world: success is hard to come by, but failure is easy.

Just as Encore ruined the Well of Silence's plan that had been prepared for hundreds of years with just one round of operations, now the offense and defense have switched. As long as the opponent tries their best to cause trouble, they will be in dire straits.

"The Kunda City Lord is now busy trying to appease Sutur, but I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for much longer. If it drags on, Sutur will either die or go berserk."

"Besides, the city lord is also a valuable fighting force. It's impossible for him to stay underground and watch Sutur when the enemy attacks. Otherwise, letting Momo fight three level three warriors alone, even if two of them are fake, would be too much of a struggle."

Xiao Hui said helplessly, "We must make a decision before the enemy officially takes action and discuss with the Lord of Kunda how to deal with Sutur. This is by no means an easy task, especially since Momo chose the third option."

All of a sudden.

Everyone was silent, letting the cold north wind howl around them.

Why does it sound so difficult to convince the Lord of Kunda to abandon the plan for the City of Winter Bone and to support, or at least not interfere with, their plan?

"…Perhaps we should first explain the interests involved?"

In the end, it was Encore who broke the silence first.

"The City of Winterbone's plan is to use the Well of Silence's resources to transform Surtur into a dracolich. The cost is a large number of sacrifices to provide negative energy, but Bro has now abandoned the lich transformation ceremony and is now focusing on sabotage."

"In other words, Winterbone City can no longer piggyback on the Well of Silence. If they intend to continue with the lich transformation, they will have to invest a lot of additional resources... Does this count as a breakthrough?"

Momo's eyes lit up. "Yeah, Xiao An is really smart! Thinking about it this way, the negative energy gap is probably even larger than originally expected, with more people sacrificed and the impact even worse. Momo also has more reason to oppose them on behalf of Black Rock City!"

"Then emphasize the feasibility of our plan. Look, the Disaster Cult is holding the Abyssal Serpent Staff..."

Before An Ke finished speaking, Xiao Hui quickly understood what she meant.

"The Abyss Serpent, the counterpart of the Armoring Ceremony, should be quite appropriate."

"Ah."

An Ke nodded, then felt her body lighten, and the familiar Ju Gaogao appeared again.

"Little Anke's brain works really fast!"

Momo was very satisfied with the cute external brain No. 2 and generously gave it several laps of the windmill.

"We'll follow this line of thought then. If it doesn't work out in the end, we'll just have to follow the wizard's rules and witness the senior's magical prowess."

The rules of the mage are, on the one hand, fair trade, and on the other hand, whoever has the bigger fist is right.

Obviously, Momo is talking about the latter here.

"... Stop turning, my head is going to feel dizzy."

Anke protested loudly, and after pausing, she finally asked weakly, "Is it enough to just complete the Armoring Ceremony? What about the Holy Spirit Ceremony?"

"That should be enough... trust the faith that has accumulated in the statue over time? Well, maybe when we help Sutur kill the giant snake of the abyss, if the momentum is big enough, we can even increase some more devout faith. After all, in the eyes of ordinary people in Asda City, this can be considered a miracle, right?"

Momo replied as she put Encore back on the ground.

"Perhaps, I don't quite understand the Holy Spirit Ritual either. I can ask the Kunda City Lord later to see if he has any better ideas... Well, the prerequisite is that he must support our plan."

Xiao Hui thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's not worry about this. Let's sort out the specific explanation first."

"Row!"

Momo nodded heavily.

...Actually, I was thinking that maybe we could find a god who was born not too long ago to help perfect the Holy Spirit Ritual.

An Ke scratched his little face beside him.

But she hasn't come up with a specific explanation yet. She can't just put the blame on the old man again, right?

And I don’t know whether Sutur is willing to be the apostle of the Dark Sun Lord. Uh, he should agree, right?

There is another important issue. The Holy Spirit Ritual is a very advanced ritual. She doesn't know how to perform it, and neither do Xiao Hui and Momo. If Kunda doesn't know much about it either, it will be awkward and he won't know where to start with the modification.

Maybe Xiao Anri will?

At the beginning, Celine Weier introduced herself to a large number of sacrificial rituals of different specifications and forms, saying that these were all from the Dark Sun Lord's religion. In addition to proving that little Dark Sun was a good eater, didn't it also prove that although He was a newborn god, He still mastered a lot of ritual magic knowledge?

I think so. Otherwise, it would be too ridiculous for a god to know nothing except the ritual of eating (sacrifice).

Go ask and try.

I hope so, and it would be better if it is cheaper. Miss Encore’s contribution is not much.

Although a large group of cultists were sacrificed before, there was still a lot of balance left after successfully obtaining the blessing.

However, the cross-border chat with the Saint Lady was too time-consuming, the call bill was ridiculously expensive, and it directly squeezed out most of the balance.

If the contribution required is too high, then she will have to work overtime urgently. If overtime is not an option, then she will have to start selling.

then.

With an uneasy mood, Anke's consciousness followed the mysterious connection and found the dark golden sun.

exist?

Chapter 134 Prelude

The dark golden corona flickered, and the black sun in the spiritual world shone, and the light fell on a small star that guarded the surrounding area.

In an instant, the scene collapsed and consciousness returned.

The communication went very smoothly.

An Ke really didn't expect that the Dark Sun Lord would be so proactive and respond extremely quickly, almost instantly.

What surprised her even more was that she could indeed use her contributions to exchange for the Holy Spirit Ritual, and the exchange price was unusually low. Although it only included a small part of how to establish a connection between the gods and the Holy Spirit, it could be exchanged for just that tiny balance, so there seemed to be no reason to dislike it.

Therefore, before Anke saw the message that popped up in the system, she really wanted to praise the "noble and generous God" from the bottom of her heart.

However, there was a small mishap.

As a large amount of complicated information appeared in my mind, corresponding prompts popped up on the system panel.

[Holy Spirit Conversion: 520/1000/Beginner]

[Ritual Magic General: 439/5000/Beginner]

These two lines of words are certainly surprising, but they are definitely inferior to the "surprise" content below.

[Warning! Weak interference detected in incoming information, the Great Library's defense mechanism has been automatically activated... Screening... Consistent with the anonymous proxy evasion content, determined to be the whispering of the Dark Sun Overlord... Cleaning... Cleaning completed... Pure information has been transmitted.]

[Tip! Administrators please read the Babel Tower manual carefully. Do not initiate links without authorization. Please carefully identify whether the linking party is trustworthy.]

Damn it? !

What the hell is this?

Looking at the series of messages that popped up on the system, An Ke was completely stunned.

After a while, she came to her senses and quickly sorted out what had just happened.

In short, the damn little Anri was not behaving well. He actually smuggled his own stuff into the things given to him, and tried to interfere with the honorable priest.

This has never happened before.

Whether it was when he first served as a priest and obtained the "Eye of Judgment", or when he later sacrificed the remnants of the raven to obtain the "Holy Flame Summoning", the system never popped up a prompt.

There are two main changes before and after.

The first is the difference in Encore's operation. Previously, she was only responsible for holding the sacrificial ceremony, and the things were given by the Dark Sun Lord on his own initiative, through the agency and screening of the system, but this time she took the initiative to request the exchange.
