Baiyi's perfunctory attitude annoyed those who were used to power, but they could not do anything about it. If the Book of Servitude was really the Book of Servitude, they would not be able to do anything to him. Baiyi's ability to use forbidden spells without any warning was more terrifying than the Celestial Race. Who would be able to stand such a thing? All they could say was, 'I can't afford to mess with him.'
This was exactly what Baiyi wanted, and it was also one of the Archmage's original intentions. Giving him the Book of Servitude was not so that he could cause trouble for others, but so that others would not cause trouble for him.
No matter how bad Baiyi's attitude was, it did not change the fact that he had once again become the talk of the town. It would not be an exaggeration to say that he had become the talk of the town. This time, it was not just limited to the Southland, but the Northland as well. Furthermore, he did not rely on the Church's propaganda. Instead, he relied on the fact that the survivors that he had rescued were willing to be his' tap water ', spontaneously spreading his story.
Although the situation with the captives was not ideal, Baiyi was still satisfied with the fame he had gained. Even though he did not leave his house, he knew that he was now a very popular figure.
However, his own life did not change much. For the next ten days or so, he continued to live a peaceful life. Every day, he went to class, prepared the relevant paperwork for the academy, played with his daughter, Kitty Cat Maid, and so on. Life was good. Because it was not convenient for him to show his face in public, some of the paperwork that needed to be done in public was handed over to the students. For example, on this day, he handed the application letter to the owl. "Send it to the Sorcerer's Association. It contains my latest thesis."
The owl flapped its wings helplessly. 'Are you using me as a pigeon?'
Alas, it did not dare to disobey Baiyi's order, so it grabbed the letter tube with its claws and flew out of the room.
"Now, the paperwork is almost done. Let me see what else I need …" Baiyi took out a list from his inner pocket. It was a list of things that needed to be prepared. The paperwork was done. Now, it was time for the teachers and funds.
He quickly wrote a letter asking for money and handed it to his daughter, Mia. "Give this to the butler next door. Ask him to deliver it as soon as possible."
After that, Mia also ran out of the room.
"Hmm … It's about time for some building materials and desks, as well as consumables." Baiyi pondered for a moment before writing another letter and handing it to his eldest daughter, Tisdale. "Send this to that money-grubber Undine. Tell her to fix these problems as soon as possible. Make sure to pick the best quality vendors."
After that, Tisdale also ran out of the room.
"There's also the problem with the teachers … With my current reputation, it shouldn't be a problem for me to openly recruit them, right? This show has come at the right time … "As he spoke, he wrote two more letters and passed them to Attie and Nota." Send one to the castellan's mansion and ask him to spread it and give it a thumbs up. " "Send this letter to the Headhunter's Guild. Tell them to strictly follow my instructions." He then turned to Nota.
Hence, Attie and Nota also ran out of the room.
"Hmm … I still have to settle some matters with the Church," Baiyi murmured as he continued to write. He called Laeticia over and said, "Send this to the Church. It's best if you can send it directly to the higher-ups."
So, Laeticia ran out of the room.
"That's about it. The rest of you, come to class!" Baiyi announced in the living room.
In the end, his voice was the only one echoing in the empty house. Other than the Jawflower peeking curiously from the side of the bed, no one paid any attention to him.
He suddenly remembered that he had sent Vidomina and the fox out early in the morning. Now that all the students were out, he was the only one left in the house.
"Tsk, tsk. What's with this feeling of loneliness, like an old man with an empty nest …" Baiyi muttered to himself as he sat alone in the living room, feeling a little sad.
However, there were many things that he couldn't avoid just because he wanted to. When the students came back one after another, they brought him a piece of news that wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.
It was probably because the academicians believed that the establishment of an academy for an influential figure like Baiyi was a very important matter, so they had to treat it with caution. They wanted more evaluation and analysis, and they would also give him a lot of publicity and subsidies. However, the price was that Baiyi had to attend a meeting hosted by the Doors of Conundrum. Important figures from other professional associations and academies would also be invited.
In other words, they wanted to force him to show up. Of course, their real motive was not to attend the fan meeting, but to covet the treasure in his possession.
"Looks like I'll have to show up this time. That's good. Saves me trouble later," Baiyi muttered to himself as he played with Mia's hair.
Mia shook her head violently, freeing her hair from Baiyi's clutches. Then, she asked, "So, Mr. Hope, what should we call the academy?"
'Huh? I've been ignoring this question for so long. ' After all, Baiyi was not the First Walker, so he was not that passionate about naming things. However, just as he was thinking about it, a lot of people in the Void began to express their opinions.
"Since it's an academy founded by His Majesty, it should be called the Royal Rohlserlian Academy!" The Archmage was the first to speak up. It was rare that he did not plagiarize someone else's shameful name.
"Are you trying to start a war by using a name like that in front of the Walthart Empire? In my opinion, why don't we give it a low-key name? How about Void Academy? "The Scholar Walker suggested.
'But this name is not low-key at all, is it? The Archmage's name would only make him an enemy of the Royal Family. But this name … I'm afraid you're going to make an enemy of the world! ' Baiyi thought to himself.
"That's not a good idea. Let's just call it Hope Academy. After all, it's a tradition to name it after the Dean," an apprentice who used to be the Dean chimed in.
Tradition was tradition, but when the word 'Hope' was used in conjunction with the word 'organization', it made people feel like they were selling pig feed. It was not at all halal.
"If you ask me, since it's a private academy built in a private realm, why don't we give it a name that's bolder and more flamboyant? We need to show off our individuality and nature. Why don't we call it Gentlemen Academy?" The Cleric Walker suggested.
As a result, he was once again muted.
"Why don't we call it Beauty Grooming Academy? We'll only accept girls and cute cross-dressing boys from now on! Urgh! "The Cleric Walker's companion, the Paladin Walker, joined him in being muted.
Perhaps it was because of the Cleric Walker's self-indulgence that the other Walkers were stimulated. Their imaginations exploded, and all kinds of unreliable names started popping up one after another. Hogwarts, Distant Moon Academy, Daisy-Wash Academy, Enoki Academy, Academy City, and even White Academy, Electro-Technical Academy, and the Academy of Science and Technology were all popping up. It made people wonder what these people were doing all the time.
The next day, when Baiyi attended the special council meeting, the names had not even been discussed. Even after Baiyi had muted the Navy Dogs, White Academy, and Black Academy, the discussion had not returned to its normal state.
Baiyi could not be bothered with them anymore. He needed to deal with the matters in the real world.
This so-called special council meeting looked like a public hearing. It was held in one of the Sorcerer's Association's conference rooms, which were shaped like a staircase. Aside from the table in the center of the room, the rest of the table was filled with representatives from all over the world. There were more than a hundred of them. Even the Northerners had sent their representatives. Although they were not directly involved in the discussion, they were allowed to listen in.
It seemed like everyone was very curious about Baiyi's book. Before the meeting even began, a buzz of discussion could already be heard, and the topic of discussion was, without a doubt, Baiyi.
After a series of red tape, the meeting only briefly discussed Baiyi's founding of an academy. No one objected, and no one raised any objections. Instead, many congratulated and congratulated Baiyi. Some leaders from other academies even expressed their hope that Baiyi could establish friendly academies, or even fraternal academies.
After the discussion, which could only be regarded as a mere formality, the host of the meeting, an old man from the Doors of Conundrum who called himself Great Sage Tom, was ready to cut to the chase. He casually congratulated Baiyi, then turned to Baiyi and said, "Well then, Master Hope, as a fellow member of the Doors of Conundrum, I am very curious about the secret treasure that you have acquired. I wonder if you would be so kind as to satisfy everyone's curiosity?"
"Sure!" Baiyi agreed without hesitation. The Book of Servitude appeared in his hand once again. This time, it was different from its usual black exterior. Instead, it shone with a golden radiance.
As a divine artifact, it was not unusual for it to be able to customize its appearance, was it?
Baiyi briefly explained the Book of Servitude to everyone. Just like before, he only knew that it came from the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire. Other than that, he had yet to find out more about it.
"Master Hope, I'm sure you've said this many times, haven't you?" Great Sage Tom said, a little annoyed. "Everyone here is very sincere. Don't you think it's rude of you to say something like this?"
"I'm telling the truth. Why don't you believe me?" Baiyi shrugged helplessly. "How about this …"
