To be honest, if he only used this hard-earned crystal as a power bank, it would be a bit of a waste. However, he couldn't find a better way to use it, so it wasn't a bad idea to use it in the safest way.
Baiyi had used his psychic energy to probe the internal structure of the crystal, and he had also used his mana and combat chi to probe the crystal's external structure. He had collected all the basic data on the crystal. The crystal's structure was similar to that of a Saint Quartz, but it did not conduct magic as well. Instead, it was extremely hard. Ordinary attacks could not even leave a mark on its surface, let alone break it.
In this way, it would be impossible to separate and analyze more details.
At the same time, the crystal was highly resistant to the corrosive effects of Void Energy, so there was no need to worry about it being corroded. The crystal's capacity was also frighteningly high. Baiyi channeled the twenty percent of his energy that he had left outside the realm into the crystal, and he only managed to fill half of it. Based on the amount of energy he currently had, he had no idea how long it would take him to fill the entire crystal.
In conclusion, the crystal was an excellent power bank. It had a large capacity, a long lifespan, and a good quality. Its only flaw was that it took a long time to charge.
"I guess I'll just keep it for now. Who knows, maybe I'll need it one day … But I hope that day never comes!" Baiyi held the crystal in his hand. He had poured twenty percent of his energy into the crystal, and half of it had turned a deep black. Although Baiyi continued to pour his energy into the crystal, the amount was so small that it could not be seen. It would probably take a long time for the crystal to turn black and white in half.
As for the other loot, the giant Blood Tear Gemstone, it would take a long time to process. Baiyi did not have the time to process it himself, and if he asked the alchemy workshop to do it, he would be worried that someone might steal it. For a moment, Baiyi had the urge to sell the entire unfinished crystal. The Alchemist Walker almost coughed up blood when he thought about it.
Fortunately, the profit margin between the unfinished product and the unfinished product was more than ten times, so Baiyi gave up on the idea. It would be better for him to set up an alchemy workshop to process the unfinished product. It was not realistic to sell it now, but he was not short of money anyway.
Just like that, before the news from Marle reached Isythre, he could still live a few peaceful days.
The next day, he gathered all the students and asked them to talk about their insights and gains from this trip, especially the battle they had experienced and the battle they had witnessed. What were their thoughts?
Mia was the first to go up the stage. She lowered her head and fiddled with her twin ponytails. After a while, she said, "Mr. Hope, Big Sis Dale, Attie, and Kitty are so cute. My new friends are so pitiful. War really is a scary thing. I hope we don't have to deal with it again …" Mia said.
What kind of enlightenment was this? It's rare for you to experience such a grand scene. Is this all you've learned? Good-For-Nothing! Baiyi cursed inwardly. He waved his hand, signaling for her to return to her room. Then, he called for the Kitty Cat Maid.
No matter what, he had returned to his identity as an Oracle, so he should be able to get something nutritious, right?
She smiled sweetly at Baiyi and said, "My master is so amazing! Not only did he help me regain the War God's trust, but he also helped me! He's so amazing! I love you the most, Master! " Just as she was about to pounce into Baiyi's arms, she was hit on the forehead by a Small Ice Pellet.
"Ugh … Master is bullying me again … Lord War God promised that he would never bully me again …" Attie returned to her seat, feeling wronged.
'What's wrong with this girl?! Has she gotten so used to being a Kitty Cat Maid that she's forgotten the glorious days when she dominated the grasslands? Has she been influenced by Mia so much that she only knows how to act cute? '
Baiyi had no choice but to call for Nota, who had always been a good student, to come up the stage. When the fairy came up, she looked embarrassed. She stammered, "Um … Mentor … When you were fighting, the shockwaves and shockwaves made me really scared … I … I didn't really pay attention to your battle …"
'Why are you like this, too?' Baiyi thought for a moment, then shook his head and motioned for her to return to her room.
Baiyi had no choice but to call for his eldest daughter, Tisdale, who had always been a good student.
However, Tisdale's expression turned sour. "Sir, the battle between you and the demon was too far away from us! His power level was too high, and all we could do was … Woah! Apart from the fact that he was so powerful, we couldn't learn anything else! "
Baiyi was taken aback by her words. He quietly waved his hand, signaling for her to leave the stage. "Alright, I guess I'm forcing you. Now, let's move on to the next segment!"
"That's great news! I'm sure all of you have heard about our new academy, right? The construction is progressing smoothly, and we should be able to start classes by the end of the year. "
The students' faces lit up with joy, and they began to talk among themselves. They were more interested in the academy than the battle itself. Perhaps it was the innate curiosity of young people toward new things?
"As for the subjects, there are currently many fields such as magic, martial arts, alchemy, engineering, theology, and so on. You can choose the field that you like to study, and the semester will last for three years," Baiyi continued to explain.
"Wow! There are so many subjects! But aren't you, Mr. Hope, Mr. Joseph, and Big Sis Aya the only teachers we have now? "Mia asked curiously.
"The other teachers will be in place in the next six months. As for the ones that are still missing, I'll be teaching them myself," Baiyi explained.
"Oh! You're really amazing, Mr. Hope! You know everything, you know everything … "Little Mia complimented him out of habit.
"Of course! There's nothing in this world that I can't do!" Baiyi took the opportunity to show off.
"Nothing you can't do? How about this? " A mischievous smile appeared on Mia's face. She left her seat and lay on the floor, curling up her body. Her legs, which were covered in white stockings, were in front of her chest. Both of her hands were in front of her face like a cat's paw. Then, she lowered her head and rubbed her cheeks against the back of her hands. Her big eyes were slightly squinted, and she stuck out her pink tongue. Just like that, she acted cute in front of everyone.
The other students applauded, and the Gentlemen in the Void let out a series of wails before they were silenced.
'This … Baiyi really doesn't know how to do it …'
"Ahem. Alright, alright. Hurry up and get ready. We're still in class." Baiyi interrupted Little Mia's performance and continued awkwardly, "Also, other than you guys, the academy will be recruiting other students in the future. Remember to get along well! Alright, that's all for today. You've just come back, so you must be tired. Rest well for the next few days! "
The classroom was instantly filled with a series of cheers.
Thus, Baiyi's life was quite normal for the next few days. Although he was a little busy, he was busy helping the elves settle down in their new homes, busy with the construction of the academy and the follow-up procedures, busy dealing with Aya's enthusiasm, busy fooling around with the students. Even though the major changes in Marle had spread back to Isythre, it did not affect his life too much. Other than a few acquaintances who asked him if he knew the details of the situation, no one came looking for him.
'Is there something wrong with this? It's not the same as before. ' Baiyi walked the streets and alleys to eavesdrop on the news, and just as he had expected, many people were talking about the earth-shattering battle. There were stories about internal strife due to the unequal distribution of loot, about two evil gods fighting each other for believers, and about an unknown god suddenly sacrificing himself to the world.
In short, no one mentioned Baiyi. Although he did not take any measures to conceal the truth at that time, the people who spread the news seemed to have a tacit understanding with each other. They kept their mouths shut about the two champions who started the war. People did not even know that one of them was the evil Lord of the Abyss, Moroes.
"Well, that's a good thing after all …" Baiyi came to this conclusion after listening to several versions of the rumors.
"Tsk tsk. You can't possibly hope that the Church will treat you as a savior, can you?" The Archmage retorted.
"Not really. I'd be lucky if they don't come looking for trouble," Baiyi replied. "But then again, what do they plan to do with me?"
Baiyi was not the only one who wanted to know the answer. The two rulers of the Church, the Pope and the Chief Judge of the Judicial Court, also wanted to know the answer.
Although the Chief Judge did not dare to reveal the truth to the public, he did not dare to hide it either. Instead, he spent a lot of effort to communicate the news to the Chief Judge of the Judicial Court in the most secretive way possible.
After that, the Chief Judge of the Judicial Court knelt in front of the masked statue in the Judicial Court for three whole days before he dared to tell the Pope.
The Pope, on his own, went to the Temple of Oracles, which was the heart of the Church, and knelt there for three whole days. Today, he was finally released from his meditation. The Pope's wrinkled face was calm, as if he had accepted the truth. After that, he went to the Chief Judge of the Judicial Court. The two of them chased everyone away and set up a thick soundproof barrier. Then, they stood in front of the masked statue in the Judicial Court and began a secret conversation.
"I don't know. I've been thinking for three days, but I can't think of any effective solution. I've asked the True God for an oracle, but there was no response …" The Pope said helplessly. "I even feel that the reason I can still talk to you normally is because my faith is no longer pious. Indeed, ever since I became the Pope, I'm afraid I've spent more time scheming than praying …"
"I'm the same," the Chief Judge replied cruelly. "When that evil heathen, Lord Haart, took control of me, I was disheartened, and my faith wavered. I've always felt guilty about it, but I never thought that my faith would end up saving my life. Even so, when I heard the news, my mind went blank. It was as if the sky had fallen on me."
"Why did this happen?" The Pope asked in a low voice. "Why did the Ascension end up like this? Who was wrong? Was it Saint Joel, whom we've worshipped for thousands of years? Or was it our God … "
He knew that he could be charged with blasphemy and sent to the stake for execution, so he didn't dare to say anything else.
"At first, I doubted the authenticity of the news, but after thinking about it, I don't think the Chief Judge would have the guts to play such a prank on me. Besides, I received this news a few days ago …" The Chief Judge said as he took out a secret letter from his pocket and handed it to the Pope.
The letter was filled with tiny words. It was a record of the hammerhead shark plushie's performance during the Battle of Eom Village.
Baiyi had no intention of keeping the battle a secret, so naturally, no one would have thought of keeping the Cleric Walker's battle a secret, either. Hence, it was easy to find out about the plushie's heroics. Whether it was from the deserters of the enemy or the fairies who had stayed in their own realms, the Church was able to find out more about Saint Joel's prowess, so it was not surprising that the Church was able to gather such information.
The Pope quickly took the letter and began to read it. After a while, his expression grew more solemn. "The Word of God. It's a skillful and fluent Word of God. Coupled with the unique theurgy that Saintess-in-training Laeticia brought back, it's almost certain that it's Saint Joel himself. But why would he willingly live inside a little girl's plushie?"
"Even we reacted the way we did when we learned the truth, so why would he, who had experienced it himself? It's only natural that he would change. I can even understand why he would become a pervert who likes little girls, "the Chief Judge replied seriously.
"He won't become like that. The fact that he can still use the Word of God means that his faith is still strong and devoted, and he still has the love of God. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to use the Word of God," the Pope said confidently. The Pope said with certainty and revealed a thought-provoking secret. "Actually … I can't even use the Divine Word Spell anymore …"
"You …" The Chief Judge's expression changed, and he hesitated.
