On Chongwu Mountain, there is a bird. It looks like a wild duck (a wild duck), with one wing and one eye. It is called Manman. One of the birds is green and the other is red. The two birds fly together, so they can fly when they meet each other, so it is also called Biyi①.
Even in Phuket University, barbarians are a very rare magical creature and are very popular among witches, so it is understandable that the two wizards ran away after getting into trouble.
But they didn't know that every move they made fell under the scrutiny of a pair of eyes behind a slightly opened window on the top floor of an office building not far away.
"When you hold a piece of wood to attack it, you look at it as if it is far away②."
The old wizard muttered in a low voice, withdrew his gaze, turned around, and slowly walked behind the desk in front of the window with his silver wolf-headed cane. The large black robe was draped on his thin body, rising and falling like a tide, setting off waves of lightness.
The wind blew to both sides of the office, causing the room to echo with ghostly whimpering sounds.
This is a large office. The distance from the desk to the heavy wooden door at the end of the office is hundreds of meters. On the walls on both sides of the door, there are two Gubulai fairy fires, the flames are green and white, and the room illuminated is unusually deserted.
.
The left and right walls are at the same height, and every ten meters or so, there are corresponding magic torches inserted. Under the torches are placed stone sculptures of magical creatures, from the gargoyles at the door to vampires, werewolves, centaurs, minotaurs,
Murlocs, fox-men, zombies, etc. extend all the way to the bottom of the steps in front of the desk. There are two sphinxes squatting on the left and right. They are also stone sculptures. One tilts its head to the left and the front, as if in time.
Always looking at the guests standing at the foot of the steps.
When no one is around, these stone sculptures may gather together to play flower cards; but if the old wizard is in the office, they always behave very well and look intently at each one, looking more like stone sculptures than real stone sculptures.
When the old wizard sat back on the large leather chair behind his desk, the gargoyle pushed open the closed door in time, revealing the tall and thin figure of the visitor outside.
Ta,ta,ta,ta.
The sound of low footsteps echoed in the empty office, unhurried and very orderly. Under the fire of Gubrai, shadows of different shades were pulled out of the visitor's body, falling to the ground like ropes.
, tied to him.
"Professor Monteria."
The old wizard behind the desk greeted in a low voice: "Good morning."
"Good day, Mr. Ruoyu." The guest took off his pointed wizard hat, revealing his messy gray hair and towering cheekbones. He buckled the wizard's hat on his chest, bent slightly to salute, and greeted at the same time:
"Merlin bless you."
"If you continue to stick to your plan, Merlin will not only not bless me, but will also curse me." The Vice President of First University sighed slightly: "At that time, even the school will not be able to bless you... Do you mind if I smoke?
?"
"No, sir." Professor Monteria replied stiffly.
The old wizard picked up a pipe from the table and put it into his mouth. He didn't see him stuffing the tobacco or lighting the fire, but saw a little scarlet coming out of the pipe. Then he took a deep breath and spit it out heavily.
The blue-white smoke lingered like a vast ocean, hovering above the desk. Old Ruoyu's face was submerged in it, looming like a giant beast wandering in the sea.
Professor Monteria quietly watched the old wizard smoking without saying a word, and even asked the vice-principal when he started to smoke.
It's so boring for two old-fashioned people to communicate.
There was a long silence, which was finally broken by the owner of the office.
"Your topic...ahem." He took the pipe away from his mouth, coughed, and thought about it, as if he was still thinking about what to say next.
"It's going very well."
Professor Monteria seemed not to notice the gloom on Mr. Ruoyu's face, and replied in a straight tone: "As long as the school releases the project funds for this semester on time, the laboratory will soon produce results suitable for promotion to the entire wizarding world...
"
"That's what I was about to say."
Old Man Ruoyu finally stopped being vague, interrupted the professor, and said in a dry voice: "In accordance with the spirit issued by the Grand Wizard Conference, the joint meeting of school professors has made a decision to shut down all experiments related to 'purification of demon blood'
…Including your laboratory.”
A layer of blush appeared on Professor Monteria's high cheekbones, and there was a rare hint of anger on his face.
But immediately, the blush disappeared and he calmed down again.
"The experiment has reached the final stage. Closing the laboratory now is a huge waste of project funds and irresponsible to the school." The professor protested in a low voice.
"This is force majeure, and your work will not be affected in any way." Old Man Ruoyu immediately reassured: "Before the school starts, as long as you propose any project in other directions, the school will support it unconditionally."
"I'm not doing it for money! Or fame! Or anything else!"
Professor Monteria raised his voice slightly, paced back and forth irritably, waving his arms slightly excitedly: "This project can greatly improve the strength of ordinary wizards in the wizarding world... From physical fitness to magic power... Demons will
It will no longer be a threat to us! It will become a precious resource! Just like the original wizard discovered the effect of dragon skin and dragon blood, and then those terrible beasts became livestock raised in the wizard's cage! It will blow to a new greatness
The clarion call of the times!”
"This era does not need new trumpet sounds." Old Man Ruoyu blew away the smoke floating in front of him and looked at the anxious professor at the foot of the steps with warning eyes.
Professor Monteria immediately changed his mind: "No, what I mean is that this research result can strongly support the development of the Dimensional School. In fact, our research is also based on the theory of the Dimensional School..."
Seeing that he was talking endlessly, as if he wanted to explain his experimental project from beginning to end, the owner of the office had to raise his hand and interrupt:
"You know, that's not what I meant."
The professor finally shut up.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head and still tried to struggle: "Is there no other way... If the rumors are good, Ms. Shi Hui should have become the speaker of the Grand Wizard Conference starting in September. Can't we ask her to help mediate and postpone the meeting?
Could you please give me the opinion of the Grand Wizards’ Council?”
"This resolution has nothing to do with the opinions of the Grand Wizards' Council."
Old Man Ruoyu finally decided to reveal more information to the sincere professor in front of him. He considered it and said slowly: "If you pay more attention to the news outside the laboratory, you should know that after the Battle of Black Prison, the Siren King has
Promoted to the Ancient One... Although it is not sure whether his attitude towards demons will change... but for the sake of safety, it is not appropriate to create greater differences and rifts between the two parties now."
