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

-------------------------------------

The next morning.

When the light of the golden tree descended upon Lienia, the people of Menqian Town became busy again.

Of course, the guests in the hotel have also woken up.

The structure of this hotel is the same as other places. In addition to the reception area, there is also a dining area on the first floor for diners, but at this time the dining area on the first floor is empty.

Only two men, a woman and a demi-human were sitting in the innermost corner.

It was Alvin, Reinhardt and the others.

The reason for this was very simple. Alvin had booked the dining area on the first floor and would not allow anyone else to enter until they had finished breakfast.

The privileges of the nobility were exercised to the fullest extent, and even the breakfast had a stench of Rune.

Ah, damn, it’s so good to be rich and powerful.

What a wicked bureaucracy.

"Mr. Reinhardt, didn't you get enough rest last night? You seem to have dark circles under your eyes."

Alvin put down the coffee in his hand and asked with concern.

"Ah, a little bit. I was thinking about something, so I went to bed a little late."

As he spoke, Reinhardt yawned.

He was indeed very sleepy.

If you just stay awake all night, this won't happen normally. The only thing to worry about is that you fall asleep but don't get enough sleep.

This situation is very scary and will make people feel listless all day long.

Feeling groggy all day.

"Oh, could someone as strong as Mr. Reinhardt be bothered by troubles? Hehe."

"What are you talking about? What are you talking about? Life is full of troubles. It has nothing to do with strength."

Reinhardt spoke quietly, his tone very flat without the slightest fluctuation.

Then he glanced at Alvin who was sitting opposite him and said:

"Besides, even someone in a high position like Mr. Alvin probably has a lot of worries, right?"

"Haha, that's right."

The two of them joked with each other like old friends, and Alvin even laughed out loud, not taking Reinhardt's rude words to heart at all.

"Mr. Reinhardt, you are quite right. I do have a lot of worries."

"Look, I've lost a lot of hair because of all these worries."

Alvin looked troubled and scratched his hair, as if hair loss was a serious concern for him.

But Reinhardt didn't say anything else.

Things like hair loss are actually very normal, just look at it and it will be fine.

Just like in his previous life, his hair fell out so much that he almost had to wear a wig. There was no way to cure it and it couldn't be cured.

But then again, if people in high positions are prone to hair loss, then why doesn't Malika lose her hair?

It can even be used as a steering wheel.

Is it because she is the deity of the golden tree?

Or is it because the blessing of the golden tree can cure all diseases?

Or is it because she has too many ideas in her mind that the roots of her hair have grown on them and cannot fall out?

Gradually, his thoughts began to wander, and he didn't know where they were drifting to.

Seeing Reinhardt fall into silence and thought, Alvin smiled and said, "Haha, let's not talk about this anymore."

"But speaking of which, Mr. Reinhardt, where is your other female companion? Why didn't she come down? Didn't she like the breakfast here?"

"Are you talking about Ashmi? She had something to do and left in the middle of the night. She won't be back for a while." Reinhardt answered casually.

He could make up lies with ease, without blushing or getting nervous, and even he almost believed it himself.

Ashimi, who was already hiding in his body, was also upset when he heard this.

He clearly served as his master's pillow for the whole night, but he said he left in the middle of the night.

The master is really something, his heart is as evil as Lady Marika's.

"Oh, so that's it."

Alvin nodded in understanding and didn't ask any further questions.

He has no control over what other people's partners do, and he has no right to interfere or ask.

The most important thing is that he was afraid that he might offend this great god by not saying it well, which would be really bad.

He doesn't want to follow his father's old path again.

After breakfast, Alvin took him out of the hotel.

Along the way, they passed through the bustling streets and came to a square that led directly to the Magic Academy.

Amidst the bustling crowd, the stall owners were shouting their best to attract customers. Young women were carrying baskets and bargaining with vendors for fresh ingredients. Some people were attracted by the aroma of barbecue and were standing on the roadside eating the greasy unknown barbecue.

The bustling noise and bustle of life in the square will, if nothing unexpected happens, last until the golden tree loses its brilliance and welcomes night.

However, if nothing unexpected happens, it is natural that something unexpected will happen.

Their arrival was unexpected.

The moment they appeared, the lively atmosphere came to a sudden halt.

All eyes in the square were attracted by their temperament.

It has to be said that the saying "clothes make the man" is absolutely true.

Even a savage like Reinhardt, who often rolls in blood and is accustomed to sleeping in the open air, looks very handsome when wearing appropriate clothes.

He was wearing a tuxedo-like, fitted blue shirt and trousers, and delicate little leather boots.

Although the fine black hair had not been specially groomed and fluttered gently in the lake breeze, it had no effect at all. Instead, it added a bit of unruly temperament.

Even his words and actions were elegant, and he looked like a nobleman.

Alvin, who was walking beside him, was naturally wearing the same clothes as him, with neatly groomed black hair. Compared with Reinhardt, he seemed like two different sides, as if they came from the same family.

Some of the infatuated women have been flirting with them, trying to win the favor of either of them.

The young men were attracted by Melina's appearance.

She was so beautiful, and her looks were totally different from those women they always saw around them. Even the refined three-claw pattern on her eyes seemed very beautiful to them.

Some people even suddenly felt that the young wives at home were not attractive anymore and were ready to approach and strike up a conversation with them.

But when they saw the Calia royal emblem embroidered on Reinhardt and Alvin's clothes, they immediately gave up the idea.

Although the Kalia royal family is now in decline, like a decaying old man, they are not someone they can afford to provoke.

However, the remaining gazes were filled with hatred, a hatred that came from some elderly people who were nearing death.

They have lived for a very long time and even remember clearly how the inaction of the Kalia royal family led them to leave their homeland.

If the top leaders of the Magic Academy had not announced the reconstruction of Menqian Town and took them in, they would probably have been lying in Lake Lienia to feed crabs and crayfish.

Or maybe it was eaten by wild dogs.

However, their focused gazes did not attract Reinhardt's attention. Even Melina ignored them and just silently watched the distance as they slowly moved forward.

The distance between the gate of the Magic Academy and the town in front of it was neither close nor far. When they arrived at the bridge in front of the main gate of the Magic Academy, it was already noon.

The scene before him once again surprised Reinhardt.

The door that should have been closed was now wide open, and the seal emblem unique to the magic academy that should have been on it had disappeared.

But what was unexpected was not this, but the towering and thick city walls all around.

I didn't notice it when I was looking at it from a distance, but when I got closer I realized that a wall had been built around the magic academy without me noticing.

There are also pyroxene magic marks carved on those walls, and the patterns on them emit a faint light blue fluorescence.

Reinhardt felt a clear fluctuation of magical power there.

Even though it's just a circle of walls with a few magic marks drawn on it, the defense level is at least several levels higher than before.

Moreover, the guys patrolling back and forth have changed from male Platinum Sons and second-generation frog-headed Platinum Sons to puppet soldiers.

These puppet soldiers also seem to have been improved. Their movements are no longer so stiff, and they really have a bit of the self-disciplined puppet feel.

The shining blades in his hands exuded sharpness under the light of the golden tree. It was estimated that even if the Cuckoo Knight came, he would die under these blades.

The most important thing is that there are several tall golem guards standing at the gate, holding halberds and spears tightly in their hands like door gods.

"I haven't been back for so many years. How many defense levels has this magic academy raised?"

Seeing this, Reinhardt's mouth twitched slightly.

With this kind of lineup, even if Mongget led his army to attack, he would have to take a few slaps before he could go back.

Even in such a grim environment, the bridge was still crowded with people, almost all of whom were waiting in line to register for the magic academy.

"Is the magic academy so lively now?"

"Yes, ever since the reform of the Rhea Lukalia Magic Academy, pyroxene magic has been opened to everyone and no longer requires extraordinary talent, so many people come to the magic academy to study every day."

"And today happens to be the magic academy's once-a-month open day."

Alvin, who happened to hear Reinhardt's whisper, slowly explained:

"Learning pyroxene magic has become a way for them to change their lives."

"As long as I can enter the magic academy to study pyroxene magic, even if I don't learn anything, I can still get a position in the patrol team after graduation and ensure that I have enough food and clothing."

"Those pyroxene mages who excel in their training will be retained and appointed to positions within the academy, becoming instructors or senior members."

"Even if you want to leave the academy and travel abroad, that's no problem. The academy will definitely not stop you."

At this point, Alvin's eyes were filled with emotion. "If possible, I really want to meet the academy's top management... They are able to reform the former Rhea Lukalia Magic Academy to such a level..."

Reinhardt heard his sigh but did not respond, as if he was thinking about something.

After a moment, he suddenly asked, "What about you, Mr. Alvin? Did you come to the magic academy to learn pyroxene magic with them?"

"Learning pyroxene magic?" Alvin looked at him doubtfully, then smiled and shook his head: "Not really, I'm already a pyroxene magician."

While denying his words, he took out a cane-sized pyroxene wand from his pocket to prove his identity.

"I came to the Magic Academy this time to sell the goods from my territory here, and secondly, to study the academy's management methods. I want to know how they manage Menqian Town so well."

"...You, the Lord, have a really hard time."

They even personally escort the goods for sale. Are they still those extremely arrogant royal aristocrats?

"There's nothing I can do. I also want the people under my rule to live a better life." Alvin said with a helpless smile.

His father's way of doing things was no longer effective, or rather, it had been so since Queen Lenarra abdicated and was replaced by Princess Renee.

That's why he tried every possible way to get in touch with the Magic Academy.

This time, he was invited to study at the Magic Academy.

But at this point, Alvin suddenly thought of something.

"By the way, Mr. Reinhardt, I have something to ask you. Are you..."

"Hey, you two!"

When they walked around the queue and came to the bridge head to enter the gate, suddenly several people blocked their way.

They all wore magic robes, but did not have pyroxene stone caps on their heads. They looked like magic apprentices.

"Who are you two? What do you want to do?!"

The tone of the visitor was very unfriendly, and the pyroxene staff in his hand was shining with light, ready to cast magic at any time.
