Ever since its establishment, the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force had produced countless talents for the Lancelot Empire. It was a veritable cradle of talents for the Empire. Today was the thirteenth inauguration ceremony of the academy's dean. Early in the morning, there was an endless stream of horses and carriages outside the academy. All the bigwigs of the Empire were flocking to the place.
The Babylon Academy of Magic and Force had a great influence on the Empire. Every inauguration ceremony would attract many famous people to come and congratulate them. This year was even more extraordinary. Due to Han Shuo's relationship, almost all the people with real power had come. Even the king of Lancelot Empire was no exception.
When the nobles arrived in groups, Han Shuo who had arrived earlier temporarily separated from Lisa to meet Candide.
Due to Fanny's inauguration ceremony, almost all the famous people of the Empire had come. Firenze who was far away in the southern border had also found time to come. Today, the most important people of the Lancelot Empire were gathered at the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force. It was only natural that they had to be cautious when it came to safety.
When he found Candide, Han Shuo discovered that the latter's face was gloomy and somewhat worried. When he saw Han Shuo coming over, Candide softly exclaimed and said in a deep voice, "I've received news that someone may be coming to take advantage of this opportunity to assassinate His Majesty."
"Oh?" Han Shuo creased his brows and asked, "What kind of people?"
"I'm not sure for the time being. However, I'm certain that it's related to those hostile countries. Those who have come to the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force today are all high ranking officials of the Empire. If they are careless and get ambushed, it will cause irreparable damage to the Empire." Candide was somewhat worried. It wasn't easy to deal with a sneak attack. If something were to happen at such a solemn moment, it would cause immeasurable damage to the reputation of the Empire and the Dark Mantle.
"Is that so? Right, send a message to me. Summon my steward, Pegasus and Graeae. If they aren't on a mission, call them over as well. I don't believe that any country can ruin our business," Han Shuo said to Candide with a cold expression.
Today was the day of Fanny's inauguration. Han Shuo wouldn't allow anyone to disrupt the peace of the ceremony. However, if there were any enemies who dared to cause trouble, he would definitely kill them without mercy.
Candide nodded and said to Han Shuo, "Put in more effort. I'll also arrange for an army unit to come over to protect the place."
Candide had long been accustomed to speaking with Han Shuo as equals. He didn't put on the airs of a superior in front of Han Shuo at all. After Han Shuo returned to Lancelot Empire, Candide saw many things about Han Shuo that others were unaware of. He understood that Han Shuo possessed extraordinary strength. Therefore, he didn't put on airs in front of Han Shuo and even got used to obeying Han Shuo's orders.
"En, don't worry. No matter who it is, anyone who dares to cause trouble will die," Han Shuo said confidently.
Candide smiled sinisterly and didn't say anything else. Like a shadow in the darkness, he walked towards a bell tower and began to make arrangements.
Expanding his consciousness, Han Shuo spied on all the important figures of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force. The entire academy was like a miniature that was imprinted in his mind. Not a single area or person could escape his observation.
This time, Fanny's inauguration ceremony had caused an uproar in the Lancelot Empire a few days ago. If there were people with ulterior motives who wanted to cause trouble, they would have long since received the news and made preparations. Although Han Shuo was confident in his own strength, he did not have that much confidence in others. A sneak attack often happened in the time it takes for a spark to fly off a flint. Even if he was strong, he still had to be careful.
Silently paying attention to the movements in every direction of the academy, Han Shuo communicated with Candide and arrived at Dean Emma's spacious secret room. He saw Fanny, who was listening to Emma's teachings.
Fanny had been staying with Emma for the past few days. Emma explained to Fanny some of the mundane matters of the academy, as well as the things that she needed to pay attention to in every aspect. Fanny, who had always been apprehensive, seized the time to ask Emma for advice on how to manage the academy. She wanted to understand the areas that she needed to pay attention to as soon as possible.
Previously, Fanny had buried herself in necromancy magic and her own training. She rarely paid attention to mundane matters, but now that she was about to accept the position of the new dean of the Babylon Academy, she naturally had to learn new knowledge. Otherwise, even if she had Han Shuo as her backer, she wouldn't be able to convince the masses if she didn't have the ability.
"How is it?" Han Shuo asked with a smile after entering.
"Fanny is a very good child. Heh heh, don't worry, I don't think there will be any problems. She will definitely be able to take good care of the Babylon Academy of Magic and Force." The grizzled haired Emma looked benevolently at Han Shuo and said merrily.
"That's good. Dean Emma, you're not that old, why are you in such a hurry to retire?" Han Shuo was a bit puzzled. Logically speaking, Emma could indeed remain in her position for a few more years.
"I'm getting old, heh heh. Look at me, I'm still a grand magus at my age, unable to break through. Fanny is already a grand magus necromancy necromancy at such a young age, and I think she'll advance even further soon. Emily and Phoebe are even more unbelievable. Heh heh, since the children have all grown up, us old fellows should also give up our positions to the younger generation. "Emma smiled and gently explained to Han Shuo.
"Thank you, Sir Dean. You've always taken good care of me all these years. Without you, things between me and Brian wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Fanny looked at Emma and sincerely thanked her.
"Thank you!" Han Shuo also bowed respectfully to Emma and sincerely thanked her.
Back then, when Han Shuo hadn't reached such a high realm, when Fanny's identity hadn't been exposed in the Empire, Han Shuo and Fanny had almost rashly gotten together. If it wasn't for Emma's dissuasion, the two of them would've been unable to escape the restrictions of some rigid rules by announcing their relationship so quickly. After all, the two of them were originally teacher and student, and this was against the laws of the Empire.
It was precisely because of Emma's far-sighted persuasion that Han Shuo and Fanny had properly concealed this fact. When Han Shuo's reputation in the Empire had reached a great height and he'd helped Lawrence become the king of Lancelot Empire, no one dared to mention their teacher and student relationship due to their high status and powerful strength, and they naturally got together.
"No need to thank me. Heh heh, I already knew that the two of you would get together. It's just that I've lived a few years longer than the two of you and can see things further than you can. Heh heh, it's a good thing that the two of you listened to me. You're both good children. "Emma said amiably to Han Shuo and Fanny.
"Mm, it's about time. Lawrence has also arrived. Fanny, you're the host today, so you should come out to meet everyone and prepare for the ceremony." Han Shuo first nodded to Emma and then said to Han Shuo.
"But, there are still many things that I don't understand. I still need to continue asking Sir Dean." Fanny was clearly a bit nervous when faced with such an important matter.
"Heh heh, although I'm no longer the dean, I will still remain in the Residence. If you have any questions, it's not too late to ask them later. Silly girl, go, go. There's nothing to be afraid of. " Emma said to Fanny, amused. The wrinkles on her face were all squeezed together and she really did look a bit old.
"Dean Emma, take this pill and eat it. Heh heh, perhaps you won't look so old after eating this pill." A thought occurred to Han Shuo and he took out a Rejuvenation Pill that he'd refined recently and handed it to Emma.
Han Shuo had all sorts of rare and strange ingredients on hand now. In order to help Lisa and his friends, Han Shuo spent some time refining several pills with different functions. The Rejuvenation Pill was a pill that cleared away the impurities in the body and revitalized the aging body and cells. Han Shuo saw that Emma's face was full of wrinkles and thought of how Emma had taken care of him and Fanny in the past. He was moved and gave her one.
Emma seemed to know of Han Shuo's miracles and happily accepted the Rejuvenation Pill from Han Shuo. She held the Rejuvenation Pill in her hand and examined it with curiosity. She chuckled, "A pill like this has such a miraculous effect?"
Smiling and nodding, Han Shuo said, "Try it. It's a pill that I personally refined, it should have some effect."
"Heh heh, I believe you. Candide has told me about your miracles. Anything you take out will certainly not be ordinary." Emma was very happy. Any woman would always wish to appear a bit younger, and Emma was naturally no exception.
"You may sweat for a few days after taking this pill. The sweat will have some faint black stains, but don't worry, that's the removal of impurities from the body. It's a normal phenomenon." Han Shuo was afraid that Emma wouldn't understand the effects of the pill and would be shocked by its normal effects after taking it, so he explained it in advance.
"Heh heh, I know. I remember that Fanny also had diarrhea for three days in the past." Emma chuckled as she looked at Fanny and teased.
As the dean, Emma was very concerned about the matters of the Academy. Fanny had always stayed within the Academy and had seen everything that had happened in the past few days. She'd been a bit worried at first and had even talked to Fanny. She'd then discovered that Fanny looked radiant after having diarrhea for three days, as if she'd been reborn. With Emma's experience, she naturally knew that something must've happened to Fanny.
Hearing Emma's words, Fanny's face and ears flushed red. She glared at Han Shuo and chided, "What kind of pill is that, why does it always have such embarrassing side effects?"
"Oh, then forget it. I was going to give you a newly refined beauty pill, but since you're afraid of the side effects, then forget it." Han Shuo shrugged and feigned helplessness.
Fanny's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard that it was a beauty pill. She hurriedly walked in front of Han Shuo and said excitedly, "Give it to me, I'll take it no matter what side effects it has!"
Han Shuo had known this would happen and laughed heartily as he held Fanny's arm. He winked proudly at Emma and led her outside.
