After Baiyi left, President Rhansey let out a soft sigh. Rubbing his temples, he lamented in a low voice, "I don't know why but all of a sudden, I feel that this Master Hope is a very scary existence."
"I'm very curious about his identity. Don't tell me that he's really an Ancient Rohserlian sorcerer like the rumors say? Do the strong people of that era still exist now? Would they really be reborn in front of us in the form of a Soul Armature? "Vice President Kim asked.
"According to the current analysis and research results in the academic circle, this is almost impossible," Vice President Lee replied. "It has been 6000 years since the fall of the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire, and the Soul Armature was invented 4000 years ago. Not many people have managed to survive the 2000 years between the fall of the Ancient Rohlserlian Empire. Besides, in that era where there was no Soul Armature, the souls of the dead did not have a strong desire to live. They would not even actively use their energy to maintain the existence of their consciousness. Usually, they would dissipate very quickly. "
"So theoretically, there is only a very, very small probability of the existence of a Rohserlian sorcerer. Basically, they don't exist at all. This is also the consensus of the academic circle. However, considering that many people are very interested in the mysterious Magic Empire or because of the racial strategy, it has never been announced to the outside world. Many people still think that the most orthodox sorcerer is very rare." President Rhansey added, "But if there really is a Rohserlian sorcerer who can break through that infinitely close to zero probability and survive until now to become a Soul Armature … Then, how powerful must he be when he was alive?"
"Rohserlian sorcerer, those fanatics who tried to shake the dignity of God … Maybe there really is such a person?" Vice President Kim said half-jokingly, "But if there really is such a person, he must at least be at the level of an Emperor, right? Maybe it's that Rohserlian the Nineteenth? "
"You're already so old so don't let your imagination run wild like a child. Alright, everyone has a lot of work on hand so let's get busy and just wait for the results in three days." The president finally said.
At that moment, Baiyi did not know that they were discussing his identity behind his back. Of course, if he knew what they were talking about, he would be more than willing to tell them that the Rohserlian sorcerers were not as powerful as they thought. Most of them were particularly old-fashioned and serious. Their thinking was Ginger, and their routines were the same. The most powerful of them all was a lowlife who acted like an African chief when it came to drawing cards. If he couldn't beat his opponent in a game, he would find his students to cheat.
However, the two conditions that he had set out earlier were still a little too generous. In fact, Baiyi actually wanted to ask for more but after giving it some thought, he realized that the overall atmosphere of the Celestial Fortress Academy was quite suitable for Mia at her current stage. Even he himself would need to stay here for a while so there was no need for him to offend the higher-ups of the academy.
After all, he and his teacher were the most orthodox sorcerers of the Academy. He would never allow Mia to walk down the crooked path of the Sorcerer or the Lich. As for the lack of actual combat experience, the little guy just needed to focus on improving his strength. As for the actual combat aspect, it would be better to leave it to the Fifth Walker.
When Baiyi finally found Mia, the little girl was sitting comfortably on the sofa in the living room. She was reading a book that Baiyi did not know what to make of it. She was so engrossed that she did not even touch the biscuits and juice that were placed on the sofa.
"What are you looking at?" Baiyi asked, patting the little girl's head.
"Oh! You're back, Mr. Hope?" A smile appeared on Mia's face as she raised the book in her hand to Baiyi and said, "It's the biography of the Holy Paladin! It's so interesting! But I've only read a little bit … "As she said that, she looked at the teacher who had been waiting at the door with a pitiful look.
After all, it was a novel that was written with all kinds of exaggerations. It was normal for a little girl to like this kind of heroic story.
Perhaps it was because the look in her eyes was too lethal or perhaps it was because of Baiyi's presence, the teacher immediately said, "It's alright, Mia. You can take it back and read it slowly. Just remember to return it."
Baiyi who was standing at the side was a little hesitant. He actually did not want Mia to continue reading because the Holy Paladin in the book had already degenerated into a perverted Great Gentleman and he even coveted her body every single day …
"Sir Hope! You can't do this! You can't do this! Let's not talk about the current me but I was definitely a qualified knight back then! There's absolutely no problem for Mia-chan to read my biography! "The Paladin immediately protested in the Void.
Erm, you're right. You can't deny his past just because he's degenerated now, right? For that reason, Baiyi did not say much and just let Mia follow him back with the book in her arms.
Since she had already applied for leave in the afternoon, Mia did not have to go to class. Instead, she returned to the dormitory and changed into her nightgown. Sitting on the edge of the bed with the hammerhead shark plushie in her arms, her little feet dangling on the edge of the bed as she continued to read the biography of the Paladin.
Baiyi was not in a hurry to tell her what was going to happen next. Instead, he snuck out of the dormitory and gathered some flowers and grasses. Then, he made use of the little animal coin banks that he had no use for them and made them into flowerpots. Each of them had a little flower or grass on top of their heads, which looked quite interesting. He then placed them on the windowsill, the study table, and hung them on the wall, adding some beauty to the shabby dormitory.
Just as he was watering the flowers, he heard a burst of low sobbing coming from behind him. Turning around, he saw Mia's big red eyes. Her tears flowed down her cheeks and chin, dripping onto the hammerhead shark plushie.
"What's wrong?" Baiyi quickly asked.
"Boohoohoo … Mr. Paladin Hantae … In the end, it was just too pitiful … Boohoo …" The little girl choked as she said.
That's why I didn't want you to see it … In the end, that guy ignited the Holy Combat Aura in his body and killed thousands of demons by self-destructing. He protected the town with hundreds of thousands of civilians behind him and fulfilled his unwavering faith and oath until the last moment of his life. He was indeed a great hero.
Fortunately, or perhaps not so fortunately, the moment he self-destructed, his power had increased tremendously, and he had violated some rules, sending his soul to the Void. That was why he did not die completely, but he had fallen to such a state … Baiyi thought to himself, but he could not help but feel a little doubtful. That guy's death was indeed touching, but it was not enough to make the little girl cry like this, was it?
"Ugh … I … I didn't receive Miss Garcia's confession. I didn't fulfill my promise to go back to my hometown with my friends to get married … and I was tortured by the devil in the end …" The little girl mumbled to herself as she recalled the plot in the book.
Huh? Wait a minute, what's wrong with this Miss Garcia? Then what about the death-seeking agreement? Baiyi hurriedly looked for the Paladin to verify.
"Ah? How should I know? Back then, there were so many girls who had a crush on me and I was so busy that I didn't have the time to understand each and every girl's feelings! Also, I was so devout that I didn't even consider marriage at all. Why would I set such a death flag? "The Paladin quickly explained.
Then, you were tortured by the devil? Baiyi asked again.
The Paladin did not answer him but it was the devil who answered first, "Don't think that we're that stupid, okay? Torturing the enemy on the battlefield? Do you think we're stupid? We're an elite troop that pursues efficiency in killing! "
Looks like those scenes that forced her to cry were all fabricated at the end … But in the end, the little girl was tricked into crying. Baiyi took the book over in displeasure and flipped through the author's name. At the end of the book, there was a sentence: A record of Ignatsu the Bard's playing and singing?
Tsk tsk, looks like some people used this kind of trick to trick women back then.
"Hey! Wait a minute, Sir Hope! It's normal for a Bard to make artistic embellishments on the biographies of characters. I didn't do it for … Urghhh … "Before the Bard could finish his words, Baiyi had already cast a Silence Spell on him.
Damn you, the inventor of history! It's a light punishment to just cast a Silence Spell on someone who is trying to confuse the public. While venting his anger on the Bard, he was busy comforting Mia. In the end, he was forced to use his Mana to grab the hammerhead shark plushie and, like playing with a marionette, he simulated the movement of the plushie and wiped the tears off her face. Only then did he manage to calm her down.
While he was doing that, of course, there were people in the Void who asked him to activate the secret spell that he had set up earlier so that he could replace the hammerhead shark plushie to rub Mia's face … But of course, he rejected that idea.
After waiting for the little girl to calm down, Baiyi pondered for a while and decided not to expose the fictitious part of the biography. Instead, he took this opportunity to persuade Mia patiently, "Mia, do you want to become someone like the Holy Paladin in the future? Do you want to be a strong, brave and kind person like when he sacrificed himself? "
The reason why he emphasized on the state when he sacrificed himself was because it was really awkward to use this guy as an example. He must be different from when he was alive! I can't become like the Paladin now!
After thinking for a while, the little girl nodded her head vigorously. She was born with a kind heart. That was why she resonated with the story of the Paladin and cried so hard.
"Very good, Mia. This is very good." Baiyi sat beside her and stroked her head. With a gentle but serious voice, he continued, "I like your kindness but at the same time, I hope that you understand that if you want to protect and fulfill this kindness, you will need great power."
