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

"...Sinner rejected by the Golden Tree, I hope you will come to the royal city of Rodel. I will await your arrival at the foot of the Golden Tree."

Malika left quietly, just as she came quietly, waving her sleeves and leaving without a cloud....

What a fart!

He appeared in front of you inexplicably, said a lot of inexplicable words inexplicably, and finally told him to go to the royal city of Rodel?

What?

Are you going to die?

Reinhardt was complaining wildly in his mind, not taking what this crazy woman said to heart at all.

It would be better to send him directly to the Volcano Mansion and let [Justice Officer] Lacard to try him directly than to go to the Royal City of Rodel.

But at the moment, Marika's appearance is not important. What is important is that Lani is calling him.

So he didn't care what Marika meant by this, and quickly mounted his horse and headed towards Kalia Castle again along the animal trail.

But then again, can Marika also be considered half of Lani's mother?

After all, Radagon and Malika are one and the same.

It's just that one tends towards the Golden Rule, and there's no telling what the other tends towards.

Anyway, he is a ruthless person who can even kill his own son.

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

The shores of Lake Lienya remain as tranquil and peaceful as ever. Lobsters are playing in the shallows and spraying water at passers-by to welcome them.

Merchants passing by would shout with joy when seeing this, or stay where they are to show their appreciation to the polite lobster.

The huge crab waved its claws and slammed them on the ground, splashing some water to express its inner joy.

The group of strange-looking octopuses were moving slowly along the shore, their tentacles wrapped around their bodies wriggling.

The Kalia Castle leaning against the cliff still looks the same.

The rebuilt royal territory is patrolled by several soldiers who are responsible for guarding it, always on the alert for the invasion of cuckoos.

The distant fortress is magnificent.

But in front of the city gate, he met an unexpected guy.

"Hey, Tops, long time no see."

Reinhardt dismounted and enthusiastically greeted the bald man who was anxiously wandering in front of the city gate.

"Ah, Lord Rhine!"

Spotting Reinhardt, Tops trotted over.

"Well, it seems you've been doing pretty well these years. You've even become a magic professor."

He looked up and down at Tops in front of him, and he was completely different from what he remembered.

He wore a large hat with the paths of stars painted on the brim, and a bright blue robe with the same pattern of stars painted on it.

But unlike other magic professors, Tops did not wear that strange metal mask on his face.

However, his temperament did not have the arrogance of a magic professor, but rather a timid look.

"...No, if it weren't for you and Professor Miriam's guidance, I, a piece of useless stone, wouldn't be where I am today."

As he spoke, Topps looked like he was about to cry again.

It's really hard to imagine that this is something a grown man can do.

But then, Tops seemed to have thought of something and said quickly, "Oh, Lord Rhine, go and save Lady Seren, she's in trouble!"

"?!"

Reinhardt was stunned when he heard this and asked quickly, "What did you say? Say it again, what did you say happened to Teacher Seren?!"

"Selian..."

Before Tops could speak, light blue particles suddenly appeared not far in front of them and were gradually gathering.

Lani?

Reinhardt frowned slightly, and saw those particles gathered into a human, but the height of that person was not like Lani's size, but was larger.

But he was wrong, this was indeed Lani.

He only reacted when he saw the familiar snow witch suit and the flowing wavy red hair appear.

"Your Highness, Lani!"

He was about to kneel down and perform the knight's salute, but was stopped by Lani's outstretched hands.

"My knight, I'm glad you came back so quickly."

The Moon Princess' voice was still cold and clear, and no emotion could be heard from it. The fingertips of her hands slowly touched each other, appearing elegant and majestic, but for some reason there was a hint of regret in her eyes.

“…I’m so sorry, my knight.

Yesterday, an insider reported that your teacher, Seren, was arrested by the academy for researching origin magic and killing a fellow magician. The final trial will take place in five days."

70. Return to Magic Academy (4K)

As the saying goes, the girl next door has grown up, with strength as great as a mountain and spirit as unmatched as the world.

In just nine years, the once naive little princess Renae has grown into a graceful and elegant queen, a miniature of her mother Renara.

Even in terms of height, he is already on par with the current Reinhardt.

Nine years ago, she was still so petite, only reaching his chest at that time.

What has Lani been eating these past few years? Jinkela?

But all this is not important. What is important is what Lani just said.

Se Lian was arrested and is about to face the academy's trial...

These words exploded in his heart like a bolt from the blue.

Although he was mentally prepared and knew that Seren would be arrested for studying origin magic and harming magicians, he always thought that it was Queen Lena who judged Seren and made the judgment.

But unexpectedly, now that Lena is too autistic to care about it, it has evolved into the academy ordering a trial against Seren.

So, does that mean that Kalia's guest general [Strange Knight] Jeremiah is out of the question?

This is also good news.

However, if the decision is made by the academy, it would be even more worrying. I wonder what they will do to Teacher Se Lian...

Although Serlian's research on origin magic will allow his soul to be incorporated into the source pyroxene, which is equivalent to binding his fate to the stars and preventing him from dying, who knows what kind of inhuman abuse those old bastards in the academy will subject Teacher Serlian to.

Therefore, when he heard the news, he quickly said goodbye to Lani and set out on the journey back to the magic academy.

However, to his surprise, not only did Lani not stop him from returning to the academy to rescue his teacher, but she gave him the Arotas Stone Shield seized in the last war to help him get into the academy better.

Originally he wanted to attack head-on, but now it seems that is no longer necessary.

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

Near noon, it suddenly started to drizzle, and the climate in Lienya seemed to have entered the rainy season.

But fortunately, the rain was not heavy, and the continuous drizzle hitting the body made people feel very comfortable.

"Okay, we're here." Blaze docked the boat in a hidden corner below the magic academy standing on the shore of Lake Lienia. The shallows next to it were just the right place to lead to the town of Menqian.

"From now on, it's all up to you, Rhine," Blaze reminded him. "Don't rush the action. I'll be waiting here for you for four days."

"If you encounter danger, evacuate immediately and I will rescue you."

"Remember, don't die. Lani is still waiting for you."

"Thanks, Blaze."

Reinhardt curled his lips when he heard this, picked up the pyroxene stone gloves placed beside him and put them on.

This head cover is different from other pyroxene head covers. The eyes are covered with red cloth. This is the Alotas pyroxene head cover specially allocated by the academy to traveling mages.

On his waist were slung a ceremonial axe named "Reason" and a pyroxene weapon named "Virtue".

After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, he jumped lightly onto the shallows.

Blaze sat in a small boat, hiding at the edge of the cliff, watching Reinhardt's figure gradually go away until it disappeared.

But his gaze was particularly complicated.

He was a little confused about what Lani was thinking.

Logically speaking, the magicians who studied the origin magic were the common enemies of the Kalia royal family and the magic academy. Moreover, Lani knew that the witch Seren was a remnant of the origin faction, but she still allowed Reinhardt to go to the rescue.

Although he had not directly witnessed the damage that the Source Faction had caused to the royal family and the magic academy, he could understand it from a few words.

The source school is extremely dangerous and is a taboo that cannot be touched.

However, Blaze didn't think too much about it.

After all, he was just a shadow beast serving the god, a sharp blade in Lani's hands.

There is no need to think so much about the sharp knife and blade, just executing the order is enough.

...

The drizzle stopped, the sky gradually cleared up, and a cool breeze blew from the lake.

Under the illumination of the golden tree in the distance, Reinhardt walked on the wide road of the Menqian Town market. Around him were several magicians who were also traveling and returning to the magic academy.

"...Oh, this is really miserable."

Looking at the deserted streets around him, Reinhardt couldn't help but sigh.

This place is no longer as lively as before. Although the buildings are still intact, they reveal desolation and ruin from the inside out, giving a feeling that the building is about to collapse.

Even the small shop he frequented most was deserted, and the spider webs woven on it showed that the shop had been abandoned for a long time.

The common people who usually envied and admired magicians the most, not only did not welcome them warmly when they arrived, but instead locked the door tightly and secretly watched their figures through the gaps in the windows, their eyes full of fear and disgust.

Due to the inaction of the top management of the Magic Academy and the harassment of the cuckoos, the Pyroxene magicians have lost the support of the people and have become a nightmare in the hearts of the people of Lienia.

"You, stop and come over to register."

When he reached the gate of the academy, someone suddenly called him.

A magician from the Haimo classroom called him while sitting in a makeshift tent.

"Do we need to register now?"

Reinhardt frowned slightly, looking at the densely packed names on the parchment scroll in confusion. "Isn't the war over?"

"Not registering after the war? This is to prevent royal spies from sneaking into the academy. Stop talking nonsense!" Magician Haimo's tone was full of impatience.

They were completely different from the law enforcement team he was with in the academy. They acted as if they were superior and looked down on them, a group of traveling magicians.

It seems that the Haimo classroom has also declined...

Everything has changed.

However, this is no longer his business. He came here just to save Teacher Serlian. It is no longer his business what happens to the magic academy, so in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he chose to register obediently.

"Take off the hood first."

Following the other party's request, Reinhardt obediently took off his pyroxene headgear and revealed his true appearance in broad daylight.

After nine years of settling down, although his appearance had not changed much, his childishness had long since faded away, replaced by perseverance and wisdom. The air of a veteran that he exuded was more in line with his identity as a traveling magician.

So, unless you are very familiar with him, no one can recognize him now.

What's more, there are no such things as photos at the border, so it is easier to get away with it.

Just like the magician Hamo in front of him, he didn't recognize his identity at all, lowered his head and began to write and draw on the parchment.

"Name."

"Escanor."
