That afternoon, when Baiyi was having lunch with Mia, there was a discussion about him in the president's office. The blue orb was placed in front of the president's desk and beside it was a small wooden box that looked very inconspicuous.
"What do you guys think?" The current president of the Celestial Fortress Academy, the Legendary Level Archmage Rhansey asked the other two vice presidents. Even though he had just celebrated his 100th birthday last month, judging from his appearance, he looked more like a man in his 50s. For the time being, there were not many signs of aging on him.
That was the key difference between a Legendary Level powerhouse and those below them. After reaching the Legendary Level, the speed of aging would be greatly slowed down and their lifespan would also be extended. However, such a method of extending one's lifespan was different from the method of adding one second to one's lifespan on Earth. Even a Legendary Level powerhouse's lifespan was very limited. If their strength and level could not be improved by then, they would have to face the threat of rapid aging and death.
Obviously, President Rhansey was currently facing such a dilemma. He was still a little bit away from breaking through to the Immortal Level. That was why he had to personally lead the deciphering of the legacy, hoping to find some kind of opportunity to break through.
He was not the only one who was facing such a problem. The other two vice presidents, Lee and Kim, had also been stuck in the Legendary Level for a very long time. That was why the deciphering of the legacy had attracted the attention of the three presidents.
Facing the president's question, Vice President Lee answered, "Based on my understanding of enchantments... I think the one left behind by the Sage Vagabond is more complicated, right? Of course, with my current level, I can't really tell much from it. I guess it's just a wild guess, right? "
His words were quite frank. After all, the three of them were old colleagues who had worked together for many years. There was no need for them to care about their pride in such an occasion. Vice President Kim also chimed in, "I can't tell anything from it either. However, the one who sent this orb was the former Royal Archmage of the Doss Empire. He has a very deep understanding of enchantments. Since he recommended this Master Hope to us, I don't think he's just making things up, right? I think we can give it a try. "
"The wisdom of our predecessors! He is indeed an existence worthy of respect. " President Rhansey was not in a hurry to express his opinion. Instead, he sighed and said, "It's a shame to say that we, the Celestial Fortress Academy that runs and disseminates knowledge, can be considered as a reputable figure in the academic circle. However, our academic attainments are not worth mentioning at all. This relic was snatched from a student's hand shamelessly and now we have to shamelessly ask others for help … We are really a bunch of ignorant and incompetent old bastards."
"Don't say that. It's because the students couldn't solve it themselves that they came to the academy for help." Vice President Jin said hurriedly with a bitter smile on his face. "It's just that they didn't expect that the Deans who gave them hope couldn't handle it, right?"
"Alright, since we're already shameless enough, let's invite Master Hope over. I just hope that his appetite isn't too big," President Rhansey finally decided.
"You don't have to worry too much about that. Rumor has it that this person has a very good reputation, whether it's in the academy or in Arfin City. I don't think he's that kind of person. It's just that I don't know why he didn't continue to maintain the blacksmith's shop? "Vice President Lee followed up.
"Soul Armatures are free existences in the academy. As long as he doesn't violate the corresponding rules, we can't control him at all. Perhaps he doesn't intend to continue to provide cheap services?" President Rhansey replied. Having said that, he let out a self-deprecating laugh and said, "I don't really believe in this kind of thing."
After the lunch break, a teacher of the academy brought Mia over to look for Baiyi. Then, the teacher led the two of them to a mage tower located in the depths of the academy.
The nine-story mage tower was one of the iconic buildings of the Celestial Fortress Academy. Usually, it was mainly used by the teachers for academic research. Students were not allowed to approach it without permission. It had been almost two years since Mia came to the academy but this was the first time that she was able to get close to the bronze mage tower.
"Mr. Hope, what are you going to do?" Mia secretly asked. As she said that, the hand that was holding onto Baiyi's gauntlet tightened.
Feeling the nervousness in the girl's heart, Baiyi gently patted her head and said, "Don't worry, it's just a small favor for them." Then, holding Mia's hand, he led her into the mage tower.
The layout and the scene were similar to the mage tower in his memory. There were bookshelves and utensils everywhere and there were also all kinds of signs. Some of the students who were running errands were carrying all kinds of magical materials through the spiral staircase. They looked very busy and could only cast a puzzled look at the two unfamiliar faces.
"The president is waiting for you on the third floor," The teacher who was in charge of leading the way said respectfully to Baiyi. At the same time, he cast a glance at Mia.
"I understand. Please help me take care of this little one," The teacher who was in charge of leading the way said respectfully to Baiyi. Letting go of Mia's hand, he patted her head and said, "It would be great if you could prepare some drinks and desserts."
"Please leave it to me." The teacher smiled and led Mia to the side while Baiyi walked up to the third floor alone. After that, he was led to the president's laboratory by another teacher who was waiting for him there.
Halfway up the stairs, the group of people in the Void had also ended their long and fierce battle. With Baiyi's secret help, the Justice Faction had finally won a rare victory after a long and arduous battle. The Archmage who had led the team to the final victory was naturally praised by his teammates. The atmosphere in the Void was once again restored to its harmonious state.
"Hahaha! This kind of game is really suitable for me!" The leader of the Justice Faction, the Archmage, exclaimed in satisfaction.
I've already given you so many cheats and almost made you invulnerable but it still took me such a long time to defeat you … Oh my dear teacher, when will you realize that you have no talent in games at all? Baiyi could not help but grumble inwardly.
"Alright, alright. Let's not talk about the game anymore. Now, let's take a look at the characters that Hope is going to face. Hmm … Three Legendary Level fellows? "The Archmage added.
They're obviously old fellows, right? The moment Baiyi walked into the laboratory, he could tell that the three of them had been stuck at the Legendary Level for a very long time. If there were no more opportunities, they would never be able to reach the Immortal Level in this lifetime. After grasping the information, he could roughly estimate the limit of what the three of them could bear.
While he was observing the three presidents, the three presidents were also observing him at the same time. At once, they noticed his measly Intermediate Level strength and the expensive armor that he was wearing. At once, they had some opinions about him but they did not show it on their faces. Instead, they said enthusiastically, "Master Hope, please take a seat. We've been waiting for you for a long time."
Baiyi immediately walked to the table in front of the three of them and sat down. Glancing at the small wooden box and the blue orb that he was playing with, he asked even though he already knew the answer, "May I know why the three of you are looking for me?"
The other party did not answer immediately. Instead, President Rhansey introduced himself first, "I'm the current President of the Celestial Fortress Academy, Rhansey. These two are the Vice Presidents, Kim and Lee. We've heard some rumors about you, Master Hope …"
While he was making his usual courteous remarks, Baiyi was not interested in it at all. Instead, he said in the Void, "A Legendary Level President? Isn't that a little too weak? "
"Strictly speaking, there's no direct correlation between the management of an academy and one's strength." The Apprentice immediately came out to defend his junior, "He used to be my junior. His innate talent was rather average but he was very passionate about management. Perhaps, it was this passion that dragged down the improvement of his strength?"
Well, it does make sense. Currently, the academy is indeed doing well and prospering … Just as Baiyi was thinking to himself, the President of the Academy had finally finished his pleasantries, and the topic of conversation began to move on to the main topic.
"Actually, the reason why I invited Mr. Hope here is to see if you can help me break the seal on this wooden box," the President said in embarrassment. The president said in an embarrassed tone. He was a famous academy in the Southern Continent that had nurtured countless outstanding students, but now, he had to ask someone else to help him unlock the treasure that he had discovered. He felt like he was marrying a wife but asking Old Wang to make a child for him. It was indeed embarrassing when he thought about it.
After the President finished his words, he pushed the small wooden box towards Baiyi, indicating for him to take a look first. Baiyi casually used his Psychic Energy to examine it. There was a familiar smell. Sure enough, it was something left behind by the Explorer. Using his consciousness, he poked the Explorer who had been muted by him and asked in private, "What's inside?"
The Explorer did not answer directly. Instead, he said in a depressed and sorrowful tone, "Looks like the memories that I've shared with you have indeed been forgotten by you, Sir Hope. I still have yours …"
Isn't that obvious? If I kept all the memories of 32 people or creatures, wouldn't I have already become schizophrenic? Don't interrupt me! Hurry up and tell me what's inside and I'll find a chance to release you later! Baiyi urged.
"I think it's a travel diary. It records the process of me finding this Imperial Mausoleum and some opinions about the magic system of the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire. It might even involve some knowledge about Ancient Rohlserlian magic," the Explorer replied, "But it's not anything important."
Of course, this little bit of information was of no use to Baiyi. Of course, it was also of no use to the three presidents who were stuck at the Legendary Level. The breakthrough that they needed the most right now was not something that could be decided by this little bit of knowledge.
