[Xiao Bai: I personally recommend looking for the Queen of Life Elves. ]
"why?"
This time, not only Qin Bin was confused, but Leah and the others were also confused.
[Xiao Bai: No reason. My intuition tells me that my grandfather might be even less reliable. He might be half-footed in the ground like the old man, so I should look for the most reliable Queen of Life Spirits.]
"......" Well, faced with this, Qin Bin and others didn't know how to respond.
[Xiaobai: By the way, when I was chatting with my grandfather a few years ago, I heard him say that the Queen of Life Elves has entered the most peak state of the Divine Realm, and it is an unprecedented Divine Realm of Life.
Although her fighting power is not the strongest among all the gods, she will definitely be the one with the strongest vitality and the longest life. Of course, the fighting power of the Queen of Life Elf is also in the upper-middle level among the gods of the same level. I think this is a good choice for those of us who lack fighting spirit.
Besides, given the capabilities of your system, if we really need combat power, we can also transform from the Life System God Realm to other systems, or even still play the entire system. 】
"We do have the conditions to play with all the divine domains..." Qin Bin pursed his lips and said, "It's just that, Queen of Life Elves... Honestly, I have agreed with your suggestion, Xiaobai, but I still feel a little sympathetic."
[Xiao Bai: What are you afraid of? Didn’t you dare to fool a dragon princess like me without knowing what was going on?]
——Xiaobai withdraws a message——
Qin Bin and others: "......"
[Xiao Bai: Anyway, Xiao Bin, you will have to face the Queen of Life Elf eventually. From my personal point of view, although I don't know what exactly delayed the Queen of Life Elf and why she hasn't come to you yet, it's better for you to take the initiative, Xiao Bin, rather than waiting until she has time in the future, right? At least you can still have some initiative.]
"When you don't know anything, how can you have the initiative?" Qin Bin shook his head and said, "But Xiaobai, you are right about one thing. We will have to face the Queen of Life Elves sooner or later. How about this, help me contact the Life Elves and give the Queen a message, saying that I want to see her."
[Xiaobai: Just let Lilina convey this to Uncle Raize and the others. ]
After reading the message in the chat group, Lilina looked at Qin Bin. After Qin Bin nodded slightly, she responded with a "Yes, sir" and then disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Xiaobai couldn't help but complain in the chat group.
[Xiao Bai: It seems that Xiao Bin, you have completely conquered Lilina. What a good move.]
"Please, I didn't do anything. It's just that Lilina is more cautious." Qin Bin said helplessly.
[Xiao Bai: Okay, let's not talk about that for now. I'm actually very interested in the ancient martial arts system you created, because it's too similar to the 'battle magic' that's gradually becoming popular in the Eternal Continent. After you create a completely universal architecture, I also want to try out the feeling of using the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. Of course, it must be accompanied by that very exciting BGM.]
Today, Xiaobai was just a spectator the whole time, so he knew every detail of Qin Bin's base very well.
"A dragon uses the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, and it still needs background music..." Qin Bin didn't know how to complain anymore, and the same was true for Leah and others beside him.
【Xiao Bai: Isn’t that very exciting? 】
"Well... it's really exciting." Qin Bin nodded and smiled...
Chapter 168: Ideals and Reality - Part
Early morning of September 2699, 9 in the Eternal Era.
Qin Bin and others arrived at the Monster Academy early in the morning.
With the end of the Empire's National Day holiday, the teachers and students of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy have now returned to school, making the originally deserted school lively again.
As Qin Bin and his group walked on the school road, they naturally attracted more strange looks.
It could be surprise, emotion, or more of admiration.
Yes, it is reverence.
The erosion of undead aura, especially the erosion of large areas of undead aura, can be said to have become an almost unsolvable problem since the last era, or even earlier.
Until now, when people have faced this problem, they have adopted the approach of immediately destroying the necromancer without any explanation once he has been discovered, and nipping all traces of undead in the bud.
And when faced with an undead aura invasion on this scale in Ian's territory, people are almost helpless.
There is not much to do except trying to control the expansion of the erosion of the undead aura.
However, in the ten days or so before and after the National Day holiday, the more than 100,000 square kilometers of land were completely purified by people from other worlds.
This is simply a miracle for people.
Therefore, wherever Qin Bin and others passed, they not only received respectful gazes, but also many people bowed to them from afar to show their respect.
Fortunately, it was still early and only a few teachers and students had left the dormitory, otherwise the size of the 'crowd' would have been even more outrageous. Moreover, after getting closer to the back mountain, there were very few teachers and students passing by, which made Qin Bin feel a little relieved.
He still can't get used to the feeling of being the center of attention.
But now that things have come to this, he can only adapt as best as possible.
Qin Bin, Liya and others walked up the stone steps and soon arrived at the front yard of the old dean's house.
After coming up, Qin Bin and others also saw the old dean, Medivh Das, who got up early as usual to water the vegetables and flowers.
The arrival of Qin Bin and others did not surprise the old dean, but the old dean still looked up at Zhang Xiaoyun behind Qin Bin's left. After all, it was a strange aura. Just with this glance, he couldn't help but frowned.
Seeing the old dean like this, Qin Bin asked Liya and the others to go to the kitchen to prepare breakfast first, while he took Zhang Xiaoyun to the old dean's door to pay his respects and explain the situation.
By the way, the old dean is still very old and his vital breath is still very weak. From this, we can know that the old dean did not take the holy wine that increases vitality and lifespan.
Qin Bin didn't know what to do for a moment, so he put the matter aside for the time being and recounted what had happened in the past few days as briefly as possible.
After listening to Qin Bin's description, the old dean's frown loosened, and he smiled at Zhang Xiaoyun like a kind elder, and said, "Xiaobin, your idea is correct. Once the diplomatic relations between the two countries are on the right track, it will be of great benefit to the future of both sides, and your situation will be greatly improved. It can be regarded as a way to kill two birds with one stone. I can also be a middleman for you, but there is one thing I must confirm with you first."
"Please speak, teacher." Qin Bin sat up and listened.
"What is your ambition, or what is your ideal?"
The old dean looked into Qin Bin's eyes seriously, and Qin Bin also looked back at him calmly.
“That’s the teacher’s life now.”
"Eh?" The old dean was slightly stunned, "...You, are you kidding?"
Qin Bin smiled and said, "Teacher, I am serious."
The old dean said in a puzzled tone, "I can't understand. Your soul is obviously very young. You look less than 20 years old. You are not some old monster who has experienced the vicissitudes of life and reincarnated. How can you have such... negative thoughts?"
Qin Bin thought for a moment and said, "It's indeed a little negative, even a little unbelievable, but this is what I really think.
I don't cause trouble, I don't want to be in the limelight, I don't need to be rich and powerful, no one will bully me, and I just need a few acres of land at home to ensure that I can live a decent life. Then I can be law-abiding, easily contented, and hope to be happy.
Well, now my dream is almost coming true.
I have eight wives, and I have land of my own, tens of thousands of square kilometers, enough to be considered a small country. Now I just need to deal with the current affairs, and then I can go back to Qin Territory and farm peacefully."
Qin Bin didn't lie, he really thought so.
Qin Bin had no grand ideals since he was a child. Before coming to this world, apart from some small interests that satisfied himself, he basically took an attitude of going with the flow, probably with the feeling of "my peers are like this, so I will do the same", and lived day after day.
After coming to this world, Qin Bin had many ideas about survival at first, but he met Leah and the others one after another, and the almost omnipotent system made Qin Bin's already few desires even less.
If his current situation had not become awkward, coupled with many concerns, he would probably concentrate on tinkering with magical knowledge and building a good home. After graduating next year, he would bring a group of girls back to Qinling to become an unambitious country noble.
"Xiao Bin, is this considered early retirement?" After hearing Qin Bin's words, the old dean was speechless and even looked Qin Bin up and down.
Qin Bin smiled and nodded, "Premature retirement, you could say that. And this is also the ultimate ideal of my peers in that world."
"It really is..."
Although the old dean didn't believe it, his perception told him that Qin Bin's words came from his heart without any falsehood.
The reason why the divine realm is called the divine realm is that it has completely transcended the level of ordinary life forms. Unless the opponent is also in the divine realm, it will definitely not be hidden from the keen perception of the strong in the divine realm.
After looking at Qin Bin with a slightly complicated look, the old dean breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, you still have Leader Qin to build, plus Leader Ian, so you have something to keep busy. Otherwise, if you start to do nothing at a young age, that would be a problem."
"It's not a problem actually." Qin Bin smiled and then sighed, "To be honest, I don't really want to build anything in Qin Territory and Ian Territory. After all, that would be asking for trouble. But it's also a responsibility, so I have no choice but to do it."
"Oh? Responsibility and helplessness?"
This time, not only the old dean was puzzled, but Zhang Xiaoyun was also a little confused.
Qin Bin said, "Qin Territory and Ian Territory border the Lepkas Empire to the west, the Norton Kingdom to the northwest, and the sea to the southwest. There are several excellent deep-water ports. So once the problem of undead aura erosion in the two western territories is solved, it will be impossible for Cana to trade with the two countries without going through Qin Territory and Ian Territory. In this case, as a member of the Cana nobility, I am obligated to prepare for the necessary route for the East-West trade.
This is also the most helpless part. After all, I, the earl, and my fiefdom all belong to the Kana Empire. Legally and morally, I cannot escape the responsibility of serving the Kana Empire.
To put it bluntly, this is a question of my principles. I can refrain from interfering in other people's affairs, but I cannot be a charlatan in a position where I have no business doing anything."
Chapter 169: Ideals and Reality - Part
"I see... I understand..."
The old dean nodded suddenly, and finally understood the nature of his disciple.
Then his eyes rolled, and he suddenly took out a stack of documents from his storage ring and handed them to Qin Bin.
"Xiao Bin, sign your name on the signature column on the last page and attach your soul mark."
Qin Bin was slightly stunned, "Teacher, what is this file?"
"The inheritance document of the Magic and Martial Arts Academy."
"?!"
"Take it."
The old dean forced the document into Qin Bin's hands.
"Teacher, I..."
Before Qin Bin could finish his words, the old dean interrupted him.
"As my only disciple and I have no offspring, you have the obligation and responsibility to inherit my only inheritance."
"teacher..."
"Where are your principles?" The old dean raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Qin Bin with a smile.
"......" Qin Bin's expression froze.
"Pfft——" Zhang Xiaoyun on the side couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh out loud.
"Little girl, is there something wrong with what I did?" The old dean looked over.
Zhang Xiaoyun smiled and said, "Of course there is nothing wrong with what Grandpa Das did. It can even be said that he did a great job. From the perspective of the younger generation, we should put more burden on Junyu, um, Xiaobin's shoulders. Otherwise, Xiaobin might really go to retirement at such a young age, which would be really unreasonable."
"Yes, yes, yes, the little girl is right. We should take on more responsibilities. It is ridiculous to think about retirement at such a young age." The old dean nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Zhang Xiaoyun added, "But Grandpa Das doesn't have to rush Xiaobin to inherit the academy right away, otherwise Xiaobin might follow Grandpa Das's current semi-seclusion."
"?!" Qin Bin looked at Zhang Xiaoyun with wide eyes.
"Thanks to you for reminding me, little girl. You are right. We can't let Xiaobin be a figurehead without doing anything." The old dean nodded and looked at Qin Bin meaningfully. "It just so happens that the core of the diplomatic relations between the two countries lies in the cultivation materials. The magic system of the Eternal Continent was passed down from you, Xiaobin, and the Chinese ancient martial arts system was introduced to this world by you, Xiaobin. I think the top leaders of Kana are happy to see you take the initiative to serve as the hub of mutual trust between the two countries. What do you think?"
"...Teacher's suggestion is correct." Qin Bin considered for a moment and nodded helplessly, "I understand, I will follow your arrangement. But, I also hope that you can give it more consideration... Well, this academy is the result of your hard work, and I am just a young and ignorant person. I will still need your help to make decisions for a long time in the future."
"You..." The old dean smiled dumbly, but shook his head and said, "There's no need to talk about this."
"teacher..."
"There—" the old dean interrupted Qin Bin and pointed to the woods behind the house. "There is a cemetery where my loved ones are buried. I have wasted so many years, and it is time for me to accompany them. When I die in a few years, you can bury me there."
"..."
After hearing this, Qin Bin was completely speechless.
Although Zhang Xiaoyun wanted to help persuade them, she didn't say a word in the end.
The main reason was that she had just met the old dean and was not suitable to talk.
The old dean reached out and patted Qin Bin on the shoulder, returning to his usual cheerful demeanor as a retired old man, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that anymore. Go help me water the flowers, little girl, you help too."
"Okay, Grandpa Das." Zhang Xiaoyun responded quickly.
"By the way, little girl, I've approved your enrollment in the academy. Xiaobin will take you to report later."
"Thank you Grandpa Das!"
"Yeah, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go to the kitchen and take a look. I wonder what delicious food those girls will make for me today~"
The old dean said this and walked towards the kitchen.
After watching the old dean enter the room, Zhang Xiaoyun came over and whispered, "Jun Yu, some people seem to be alive, but in fact..."
Zhang Xiaoyun shook her head before she finished speaking.
"Huh..." Qin Bin sighed, "I understand, but I still think..."
"Jun Yu, this is just what you think."
