Chapter 573: The Principle of the Dean
The thick stone walls of the spiral tower isolated the noise outside the city outside the window. The tall old man held a long staff and stepped down the stairs step by step, and went down the stairs at a constant speed. The spoils placed in the grooves of the wall were as bright as new. Whenever he passed by those things, the old man could always feel new vitality entering his body, just as the time he had obtained them was returned to himself, and he was still the young and strong soul of the past.
The sound of rapid footsteps came from below, and the loud sound of iron boots hitting the ground overshadowed the old man's footsteps and disrupted his sense of rhythm. He simply listened and waited for the impatient guest to make his own sound.
The voice stopped after approaching the old man. Until he took the sole of his feet again, the iron boots followed his speed.
"Actually you can speak first, our executive, Mr. Law, you look very anxious." The dean showed an admiring look, looking at the humble and polite young man who was half behind him.
"I will abide by Andre's rules and take the principle of Mr. Dean's priority."
The dean sighed, "I was just angry at that time. Those dogmas only restrained those who were unruly brats. Alas, those who were disobedient are still disobedient, and those who were less stubborn are still less stubborn. So, my young friend, what do you want to tell me?"
"Thirty minutes ago, the meteorite that destroyed all Andre's defensive barriers and destroyed the southwest tower was Mr. Dragon, a professor of spiritual science. He created a dragon bone for himself, causing Andre to suffer tragic losses."
"Construction maintenance costs, compensation for the crucifixion of lichs, repairs of Andre's defenses, and those outsiders involved in all this... I apply for your permission to allow the Executive Committee to punish the culprit of all this loss according to law."
"Oh, my dear, you are also a dragon slayer~" Just like the joke made by the weird old man, the dean showed his sense of humor and went to the next level. "I never remember that the executive committee needed my permission to arrest people. Did you encounter any trouble? Child."
Mr. Law's iron mask reflected a cold light, and the eyes of the Law stared at the pretendingly confused leader Andre.
"We felt the breath of the Lich crown on Mr. Dragon's body. I think it should be an academic experiment authorized by the Dean. There is no doubt that another highly destructive experiment. The academic research you specially approved above all put Andre in danger again. I hope you can revoke that rule and cancel the priority of academic experiments!"
"Very good idea, dear," Mr. Dean stopped, and his white fingers stroked the spiked beard made of sea urchin thorns, as if he had thought for a few seconds. Mr. Dean asked a new question, "Dear Mr. Torah, can you repeat the losses we received?"
"The castle is damaged, innocent victims, destroyed defensive barriers..."
"Well, Mr. Dragon has become a skull dragon, right? How does it look? It's spectacular? Or powerful?"
"It's extremely dangerous," the Law changed his words, "but you also know that lichs like this kind of thing."
"The experiment was successful, it was really exciting news... OK OK, let's take a look at what Mr. Dragon's reckless behavior brought about."
The dean clamped his finger, "First, he destroyed a tower..."
"That was a botanical garden jointly planned by five magical plant associations including the Plant Research Society. I really suspect that this seemingly unexpected accident was also deliberately caused by it. Professor Giant Dragon has always been unable to get along with the botanical scholars..."
"Because they discovered bone plants and found that the bones of their beloved animals turned into plant fertilizers, I can't stand it. Compensation can be made. Remember to send the bill to Mr. Dragon. If his fingers can still be stuffed into the keyhole of the treasure chest... Anyway, those botanists have illegally sprinkled their seeds to Andre. The area will be confiscated. Use the dragon's compensation to build a swimming pool to moisten my slightly dry beard. Do you think the materials of seaweed and anemone are more suitable?"
“…I’m sure the lichs will make good use of your swimming pool.”
The dean shook his hand and said he didn't care, "What is the next one? Victim compensation?"
"Yes. This group of people includes lichs and outsiders..."
"Isn't it very energetic to put the lich in the list of victims and still have the strength to ask for compensation!"
Mr. Torah looked like he knew this and changed the list in his hand.
"Where are those outsiders? They are gathering near the teleportation array. I believe that the lichs who were attracted by Mr. Dragon are constantly increasing their psychological burden if they don't deal with it well..."
"Let Andre's Sword deal with them and accus them of trespassing into private territory."
“…”
"What's the other one?"
"About the defensive barrier, it is a compound defensive barrier created by large spellcaster clubs such as Magic Research Society, Advanced Magic Research Society, Enchantment Society, etc. It is a barrier that takes a lot of time and energy to create. Although the last repair was thirty years ago, destroying those barriers is tantamount to slapping the faces of those powerful clubs. I think those presidents with good face need an explanation."
"This is what the mirror means?" The dean changed the topic and asked the president of the Moyan Society what he thought.
"Mr. Mirror is a little lost. That magic compression layer was left by Mr. Scholar as the president of the Magic Research Society."
Public opinion is another question that leaders have to think about.
"By the way, Mr. Law, what level has the strength of the new dragon reached?"
"Five Locks."
"Is it a turning point between man and God..." The dean pulled his wide-brimmed wizard hat, letting the shadow appear on his face, and the light blue soul flame seemed even more creepy.
"The law, the dragon did not destroy Andre's defensive barriers, he just helped us find loopholes in those outdated barriers."
"But……"
"No, but, just tell the arrogant gentlemen that the barrier they created was broken by a five-lock caster. Let them renew Andre's defensive barrier for me, otherwise I will hand over this sacred work to the Dragon who defeated them."
"Provocation method?"
"Those guys are old Andrei, and their provocation is useless to them. The arrogance of being a strong will not cover their suspicious spirit as a seeker and pursue the ultimate attitude. They may also thank the dragon and give them a new goal. Of course, they are unlikely to thank them positively." The dean smiled.
"Mr. Law, praise is more effective than punishment. Support without restrictions is my principle, the most important principle. The young birds in cages cannot fly. Just like what I gave you, I gave the Executive Committee full autonomy, so, good children's law, let it go."
"Then you immediately formulated new rules that academic gatherings are above everything else, and you are making things difficult for me..."
"Hahaha... Hahaha... I'm old and a little forgetful. I have to go over and congratulate Mr. Dragon for his new achievements. I'll take a step first." The dean flew into the hull, and his movements were as fast as lightning. The dean jumped off the stairs and fell freely to the bottom of the tower.
Pulling out the legs from the deep pit of the spider web-shaped pit, the dean patted the dust on his body.
"The dragon... I don't know when there are only memories left..."
"I wish I could have recreated the glory of that year..."
