Since the decision had been made, Baiyi had no reason to stay any longer. He left with the Warrior Walker, who had become the center of attention.
Now that he had a new assignment, the paper review job at the Sorcerer's Association was canceled. Fortunately, the secretary was reliable, and a transfer letter was sent to the Sorcerer's Association in the name of the military the next morning. As expected of a graduate from Da Xue. Even though he was only in the advanced class, he was still able to perform his duties well.
On the way back, Baiyi tried to flirt with the Warrior Walker. He asked her what she thought about the banquet and how it felt to be the center of attention. The Warrior Walker replied calmly, "I'm used to this kind of thing when I was alive. It's not a big deal."
The atmosphere turned awkward, and Baiyi had no choice but to change the topic to his mission. "You coming with me?"
In the end, the warrior, who had been rather clingy, shook his head and replied, "This isn't something I'm good at. I'll get the assassin to accompany you to gather information."
'See? What a reasonable girl!' Baiyi felt a little warmth in his heart, and he chuckled foolishly.
The Warrior Walker shook her head helplessly and sighed. "Spending time with an idiot like you is really tiring."
Baiyi could only chuckle awkwardly in response to her words.
The two chatted as they made their way to the Sorcerer's Association. It was late at night, and the Sorcerer's Association, which was bustling like a marketplace during the day, was deserted. This made the young man sitting on the steps, waiting for someone, stand out. Baiyi saw him immediately, and he thought to himself, 'Is he waiting for the girl he loves?' 'Tsk, tsk. What an infatuated boy. I hope he doesn't have to wait for the girl to come down from some fat noble's carriage.'
Little did he know that the person was waiting for him. When he saw Baiyi, the young man, who was still wearing a guard uniform, ran over and knelt down. He hugged Baiyi's thigh and begged in a voice that was close to wailing, "Please, Master Hope! Please save our village!"
This was the young guard who had blocked the Warrior Walker's way at the Sorcerer's Association.
Baiyi, who had just made a mischievous suggestion, felt a little embarrassed. He floated the man up and cast a Psychic Suggestion on him, calming him down. Then, he asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
The young man immediately explained everything in full detail. It turned out that he came from a remote village called Doer Village. It was the kind of place that could not be found on the map, and almost no one knew about it. It was located in the east of the Empire, close to the Great Wasteland. Although it was remote and poor, the villagers here could be considered to be peaceful and peaceful.
In the end, on a certain night a few months ago, this village was attacked by a group of undead. More than 40 people in the village were slaughtered by the evil undead, and only the young man in front of him was lucky enough to survive.
If it was just a simple tragedy, he would not have come to Baiyi for help. After a few days of struggling at death's door and waiting for all the undead to vanish, the young man snuck back to his village to check on what had happened. He discovered that all the villagers who had been killed had turned into living dead, also known as zombies.
The young man swallowed his grief and prepared to contact the Church to deal with the situation. However, he realized that the zombies had not completely lost their minds. They did not attack the living creatures around them, and they could even recognize him!
In this way, the young lad naturally could not go to the Church to exterminate these resurrected villagers. After thinking about it, he could only bring the villagers to the desolate wasteland to hide them. He took what little savings he had and ran to the Imperial City to find a way to cure them. He thought that as the capital of the country, there must be countless people with special powers. Naturally, he would be able to find a way.
However, he could not reveal the details to anyone, for fear that someone would report him to the Church. So, he asked the passersby who was the most knowledgeable person in the world. Where was that person?
A few years ago, someone might have told him about the Door of Conundrum, but after the rise of Da Xue, the only answer he could get was Da Xue. Thus, the young man decided to enter Da Xue and find a cure for his villagers.
Left with no other choice, the young man found a job as a janitor to make a living, waiting for Da Xue to enroll. It was not until he ran into Da Xue that he realized he had missed the chance to meet the most knowledgeable person in the world, Master Hope. He quickly asked around for Hope's whereabouts, and when he found out that Hope had come to Da Xue, he followed him and sat on the stone steps, waiting for Baiyi's return. He did not even have time to change his clothes.
That was what had happened. The young man had uttered those words under the influence of hypnosis, so there was no way he would lie. The Soul Armature could not help but sympathize with the young man's situation. Fortunately, the young man was lucky enough to meet the Soul Armature. Otherwise, if the young man were to take the cruel entrance exam and see the inhumane tuition fees, he would probably have a nervous breakdown.
What was even more coincidental was that the young man's current predicament was somehow related to Baiyi's investigation. The Soul Armature could not help but sigh. 'Fate is too wonderful for words.' Baiyi had been looking for a way to break into the Soul Armature's case, and now, he could help the poor young man out, killing two birds with one stone.
"I have a general idea of what happened. Wait for me at the Sorcerer's Association in Arfin City at ten o 'clock tomorrow morning. Now, go back and get some rest," Baiyi said.
The hypnosis effect had not been lifted yet, so the young man obeyed Baiyi's every word. Thus, Baiyi did not pester him any further. He nodded and left.
After the young man left, Baiyi asked the Lich Walker in the Void, "What do you think, Lich Walker?"
"Sir, there's something fishy about this!" The Lich Walker replied.
"You even know how to play jokes?" Baiyi asked, a little surprised.
"Maybe it's because I'm in a good mood? To a scholar like me, having access to research samples is something to be happy about. You don't have to go to Duat for the time being, "the Lich Walker replied with a straight face. The Lich replied in a serious manner, "Keke, a wild undead that naturally formed after being killed? That's very interesting. "
The two of them continued their discussion, leaving the Warrior Walker, who was now pretty and well-dressed, to the side. They chatted until they returned to Da Xue, where they finally ended their conversation.
Baiyi was in a good mood when he found out that he had found an important clue before the mission even began. He even put his arm around the Warrior Walker's shoulder, but she shoved him away. Baiyi had no choice but to go and check on his students. He had been busy lately, and it had been a long time since he last saw them.
Tisdale had told him that Attie was coming home today, and that there would be a gathering. Baiyi went to Attie's place and kicked the Jawflower away. He knocked on the door, and a few moments later, Attie, barefoot and wrapped in a blanket, opened the door.
Baiyi knew that the blanket was the only thing she had on her.
"Master!" The Kitty Cat Maid, who was now Professor Attie, was very happy to see Baiyi again. Mimicking her younger self, she walked up to Baiyi and said, "You came to see me as soon as I got back."
Well, it's just a convenience, Baiyi thought to himself. Of course, he could not say that out loud. After hugging her politely, Baiyi praised her for her hard work and praised her for her performance, which made her so happy that her eyes turned into two crescent moons. She almost let go of the blanket and gave Baiyi a big treat.
Baiyi quickly patted her head and stopped her from doing so. "You've worked hard, too. Rest early. I still have to go and check on the others."
He turned and ran off to check on Nota, who lived closest to him.
Nota was the most sensible and obedient girl in Baiyi's collection, so their short meeting was very pleasant. The two of them maintained the courtesy of a teacher and a student, and after a few words, they parted ways.
His youngest daughter, Mia, was next. When Baiyi saw her, she was sprawled on the table, racking her brains over her thesis. When she saw Baiyi, the frown on her face disappeared, and she rubbed Baiyi's chest plate with the traditional family etiquette before leading him into her room.
Baiyi saw the thesis on the table as soon as he entered the room. "The review starts tomorrow. Why haven't you handed it in yet?"
"Ugh … It's really hard!" In front of the Soul Armature, Mia had turned back into the little girl she used to be. She sat on the edge of the bed and swung her little feet. "Mr. Hope, please help me, will you?" Mia asked coquettishly.
"You can solve your own problems." Baiyi flatly rejected such an unreasonable request, but when he saw the troubled expression on his beloved daughter's face, his heart softened a little. So, he broke the rules and revealed a piece of information to her, "I will not be participating in this review."
Mr. Hope, who had always been known for his high standards, would not be participating in the year-end review. This was great news for all registered sorcerers, and Mia cheered. She jumped up from the bed, and her ponytails bounced along with her.
"Don't get too excited yet. What if the substitute judges are stricter than me?" Baiyi asked, not knowing whether to laugh or cry at his youngest daughter's childish behavior.
"No, they won't. Mr. Hope is the strictest person in the world!" Mia chuckled.
"Alright, then you can relax a little. Go to bed early!" Baiyi said, taking the initiative to walk to Mia's bedside. Mia cooperated and turned her back to him. Baiyi let go of her hair tie and untied her ponytail.
