People are at the border, but they become the incarnation of the sun

"Haha, it's okay. When I first saw all this, Mr. Reinhardt and I were both equally incredulous."

Alvin said cheerfully, "It is said that all this is the result of the joint efforts of the Magic Academy's top leaders. One day, the Magic Academy's top leaders suddenly changed, re-allied with Kalia, and made a pact of non-aggression, working together for the betterment of Lienia..."

Alvin was talking to himself, his tone full of pride, as if all this was his credit.

No wonder.

Both the people from the Magic Academy and the people from Kalia hope that Lienia will become better and regain its former glory and splendor.

However, Reinhardt didn't hear a word he said.

He was thinking about a problem, a very important problem, even a terrifying problem when you think about it carefully.

The clothes worn by those residents looked very familiar to him...

So he was thinking about the possibility that there were other travelers besides him who had come to the border area.

After all, the borderland itself is a diverse existence, connecting countless worlds.

Besides, time travel is not his patent...

Is this possible?

If this is true, then all the changes that have taken place in the magic academy make sense.

But if that's the case, then Queen Lenara...

There is no need to worry too much about this. With Lani's protective measures, even a demigod would find it difficult to overcome.

That was a return to the heyday of [Full Moon Queen] Lenara.

But the situation of his teacher Seren...

Thinking of this, his eyes gradually became sharper as he looked at the magic academy standing on the cliff in the distance.

No matter what, I have to go to the college to find out.

"Mr. Rhinehart, what's wrong with you?"

Alvin, who was sitting opposite him, noticed his abnormality and couldn't help asking.

"Ah, it's okay. It's just... a little too surprising."

Reinhardt changed his mood and said with a slight smile.

What he said was true. It was really shocking. It was unique in this narrow space and could even be compared with those lost eternal cities.

"Well, it's normal to have this reaction the first time. You'll get used to it slowly..."

"But it's getting late now, and I have some goods to deliver, so I'll stay here for the night and leave for the Magic Academy tomorrow..."

"Mr. Reinhardt, what do you think of this arrangement?"

Alvin suggested this as he looked out the window at the gradually darkening sky.

"Ah, thank you very much."

Reinhardt nodded slightly to express his gratitude, but Alvin laughed and said, "Haha, no need for that. Mr. Reinhardt, you are my savior."

In this way, with Alvin's warm hospitality, he was arranged to stay in the most luxurious hotel in town.

�-------------------------------------

As night falls, the lights are on.

Menqian Town under the night sky is like a lake swallowed by endless darkness, completely different from the hustle and bustle of the day. As the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreases, it is filled with silence and tranquility.

Only the dim light emitted by the pyroxene lamps on both sides dispelled the darkness of the night, accompanying the faint chirping of insects and frogs.

Inside the hotel rooms, brighter pyroxene lamps hang from the ceiling, emitting light, and the surrounding furnishings are decorated with luxurious Rococo-style furniture and decorations.

But Reinhardt had no intention of appreciating it, and he didn't even feel sleepy.

He sat at the desk, his arms resting on the table, his hands folded to support his head. The pyroxene lamp beside him reflected his deep face, which was as black as ink.

If he were to wear reflective glasses at this moment, he would look exactly like Commander Ikari.

However, he was not the only one who had not gone to bed at this time, there were also other people in the room.

Melina and Ashmi, who were sitting on both sides of the sofa, and Burke, who had put down his luggage and was sitting stiffly on a chair, all stared at Reinhardt, who was sitting at the desk.

"...What happened?"

Seeing that his face was full of seriousness without even a hint of a smile, Melina took the initiative to ask for the first time.

And Ashmi also echoed:

"Yes, my master, you have maintained this expression since you came into the room. If there is anything difficult to solve, you can talk to Ashmi. Perhaps Ashmi can help you solve it."

"Um...."

Reinhardt pondered for a moment, "...Perhaps, we will face the greatest challenge in our history."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene suddenly became unusually quiet.

Melina looked at Reinhardt with her single eye in slight surprise.

It was the first time she heard Reinhardt say such words.

You know, even during the hybrid rebellion in the Weeping Peninsula, and even when facing [Limb Reattachment] Greg, he never said such words.

However, such solemn words and such a serious expression showed that he was not joking.

But what kind of difficulty could make this man treat it so seriously?

Ashmi, who was standing by, was so stunned by his words that he was speechless. He even asked cautiously, immersed in his consciousness:

"Mrs. Marika, do you have any idea about this matter?"

"...I don't know."

This time, Marika wasn't joking and her voice was very deep.

If you could see her face, it would probably be the same color as Reinhardt's current face.

She also heard what Reinhardt had just said, and saw the scenery along the way through Ashmi.

Indeed, as Reinhardt believed, there were anomalies everywhere.

The entire Menqian Town seemed to be controlled by someone, and that person seemed to be in the Rhea Lukalia Magic Academy.

However, in Lienia's memory, the only two people who possessed such leadership were the mother and daughter pair of [Full Moon Queen] Renala and [Moon Princess] Rani.

The former has gone mad and is said to have secluded himself in the great library of the magic academy.

The latter lost his physical body and had to deal with two fingers, and this was also different from the freedom that the little girl longed for.

However, Marika didn't really care who it was. What she cared about was whether the person who ruled this land would disrupt her plans.

But now she is just a soul, and she can do nothing even if something unexpected happens.

We can only place our hopes on Reinhardt, hoping that he can do something and make everything clear.

"...What are you going to do? Is there anything I can do to help you?" Melina said softly.

"...?"

Reinhardt lowered his arms and turned his gaze to Melina.

Perhaps even Melina herself didn't realize that she, who was originally indifferent to everything in the world, had quietly changed.

Just like now everyone can offer to help.

However, this time he didn't need anyone's help, or rather, the fewer people involved, the better.

"I have a plan..."

As soon as the word "plan" was mentioned, Melina and Ashmi immediately became serious and listened attentively.

However, although it is a plan, it is actually just a few arrangements.

"First of all, Melina, I hope you can pretend to be a student with me and find a way to sneak into the magic academy."

"...Me?" Melina opened her mouth, blinked, and shook her head. "But I don't understand pyroxene magic..."

"It's okay. Since you can use the golden prayer, you won't have any problem using the pyroxene magic either."

Reinhardt said confidently, "Because pyroxene magic and prayer are, to some extent, of the same origin."

The shocking words brought a little shock to Xiao Mu, and her little mouth suddenly turned into the shape of 0. It was obvious that she was very surprised.

But Reinhardt smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Don't be so surprised. This theory was proposed by Professor Tops of Magic before the Shattering War."

"He even used this theory to create a magic that doesn't belong to any system—the Tops Force Field."

"The pyroxene magic and prayer that can distort everything. It doesn't require any talent to use, so even a fool can use it."

Melina nodded seriously after hearing this: "...I understand. I will stay by your side and enter the Rhea Lukalia Magic Academy with you."

I don’t know whether she really understands or is pretending to understand, but I can’t care less now.

Then his eyes fell on Burke, who looked reserved.

"Then it's you, Burke. Tomorrow you will still be my follower and follow me into the magic academy."

It was simple for him to make such a decision. Burke was an excellent tailor, one-of-a-kind, but he was too weak to even protect himself.

Therefore, it is much safer to carry it with you than to leave it in the town in front of the gate which is controlled by others.

If all else fails, you can summon Kurara for protection.

Kulala's venom is not something that a weak pyroxene magician can resist.

"...Master, Burke understands. Burke will stay by your side and will not cause any trouble for you." Burke answered weakly, but his eyes were full of courage.

"very good."

Reinhardt nodded in satisfaction at this.

After more than a month of contact, Burke has made considerable progress, which is really good.

"What about me, my master?" Ashimi suddenly spoke.

"Your words...Ashimi, I hope you will not appear in public tomorrow and return to my body."

"Huh?" Ashimi tilted her head in confusion, her long silver hair slowly falling to the top of the snow-capped peak like a waterfall.

Then a look of anxiety appeared on that delicate and fair face.

She doesn't understand.

It’s not just that Melina can accompany her master into the academy, but even Burke can enter as an attendant.

Why is she the only one who wants to return to her master's body?

She shouldn't be like this...

There are obviously many new and exciting things waiting for her outside.

Although the architecture is somewhat similar to the Dark Realm of Noklonn, the cultural customs are obviously different, and she saw a lot of delicious food being sold along the way.

She wants to taste it...

Besides this, the most crucial point is whether the master does not trust her.

Obviously everyone else can follow him, but she can't.

Her expression almost made Reinhardt laugh.

I never thought that Ashimi, who is sometimes weak, sometimes elegant, and sometimes like a violent queen, actually has such a cute and contrasting side.

It's really so cute. I really want to hold her in my arms and pamper her, and give her a vaccination or something.

He suppressed his desire and pressed his palm.

“Don’t be impatient…”

As if he could see through Ashmi's inner thoughts, he said, "Listen to me, Ashmi. It's not that I don't trust you, but it's precisely because I trust you that I want you to be one of my trump cards."

"The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light. It's not good to expose too many people to the enemy's sight."

"So, I hope you can hide inside me and wait until the critical moment to deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, catching them off guard."

"I see..."

She understood after hearing that. "As expected of my master, Lord Reinhardt, you are not only exceptional in martial arts, but also in wisdom. Ashimi deeply admires you."

"Ah ha ha...."
