After a long journey, Kaz’s carriage finally arrived at the capital city of Cambay. It’s not surprising that Shana seemed very excited. She had been drifting outside for several months since she set out for the Elf Kingdom, and the suffering she had suffered during this period was her own.
I know best. Everyone else behaved well, but Elu looked like a little girl who had never seen the world, asking questions about this and that.
"Shana, where should we take you now?" Coren knew that Shana wanted to go back to the palace now.
But Shana's answer surprised him, "Let's go to Federal College and go to Principal Nicks first."
Kaz said in his broken voice: "You'll be there soon, beautiful lady." The carriage drove towards the direction of Federal College.
After a while, the carriage arrived at the Federal College. The three of them, Colen, got off the carriage and stood at the gate. Kaz said to them from the carriage: "Let's separate here first. I have been purchasing materials in the capital recently. How many people have I met?"
I'm a friend. If you want to find me, go to the Storm Inn in the east of the city. Goodbye." They ran away without asking Column where they were staying. Maybe he was too confident in his ability to find people?
Coren turned around and took a closer look at the gate of the academy, which is rare on this continent. The two huge stone statues are three stories high, one male and one female, one on the left and one on the right. The female stone statue on the right is a mage at a glance.
Her staff is a typical mage-specific product, and she is wearing a mage robe. She holds the staff high and seems to be activating a high-level magic, which is lifelike. The male stone statue on the right is covered in armor, holding a giant handle in both hands.
The sword seems to be a giant sword warrior. His movements are also raising his hands high, but he is doing chopping movements. Even though he is a stone statue, you can actually feel the shocking power on his body. It is really amazing. Look at their expressions.
It's strange, they don't show a difficult battle. Instead, they show a mocking look on their faces, as if this is just a game and not a battle.
While Coren was attracted by the stone statue, Shana whispered beside him: "These two are heroes of the Federation. It is said that they even fought against the devils of hell."
"Who are they?" Ellu asked from the side.
"I only know that one of them is called Roland and the other is Catherine. No one knows their last names." Shana answered.
"Who made the stone statue?" This is what Colen wants to know most.
Shana said nonchalantly: "I don't know. I guess everyone who knows is dead? This is a work handed down thousands of years ago. Let's go in, don't always stand at the door." Then she walked inside.
Coren and Elu followed Shana into the gate of the academy. People of all races were coming and going inside. Coren even saw an orc hugging a homo sapiens and laughing. Can they have a common language? Khan
…
After walking inside for a while, Shana pointed to a building and said, "Principal Nicks works inside, let's go."
Elu asked strangely: "Do you know the principal?"
"Principal Nix is my mentor, and I am also an alchemist, but I am still very weak." Shanna said a little embarrassed.
Colen was about to meet his father's friend and was very excited. "Let's go. Shana will lead the way."
Entering this building, Colen suddenly felt as if he had entered a strange space. "What does this feel like?" Colen was very surprised.
Ellu and Shana didn't feel it at all and continued to walk inside. Coren shouted: "Get out of here quickly! It's dangerous!" Before he finished speaking, the walls here suddenly parted, and many puppet metal warriors walked out of it.
There were still weapons inside.
"How could this happen?" Shana looked back and saw this scene, shocked and at a loss.
Elu didn't expect to be attacked here, so she hurriedly protected Shana. However, the metal warriors regarded the two of them as nothing, and they all rushed towards Column.
"Shana, go find Principal Nix. Ellu will follow to protect her. I'll be fine." Coren asked them to leave first.
Elu was really obedient, grabbed Shana's little hand and ran upstairs. Coren was left alone to face dozens of metal warriors.
Almost all of these puppet metal warriors are made of metal, they are basically just blocks of iron. Although their movements are a bit slow, their attack power and defense power are very high. Coren also knows that it is useless to fight them, so he should wait for Shana and the others.
He ran away once he was far away. But he found that he was already trapped in a barrier, completely losing his chance to escape.
Shana finally arrived at the principal's office, kicked open the door and rushed in. "Principal! Help!" she shouted as she entered the door.
"Ah? Princess Shana? When did you come back? What do you need help with?" Old Nicks was napping on his desk and was still a little confused after being woken up.
Elu saw that the old man didn't recognize her at all, so he rushed over, grabbed her and ran downstairs. Before leaving, he threw a word to Shana who was in a daze: "If you don't hurry up, the little pervert will be finished."
Na also ran downstairs quickly.
"Hey, who are you again?" Nicks was led by this elf beauty grabbing her clothes, not knowing what happened.
Elu didn't even look at the old man and said, "There is a trap in the building. I will take you to rescue people."
Nix thought to himself: "Since when was there a trap in the building? Why didn't I know? Who set it?"
Soon they went downstairs to the hall on the first floor, which of course had now turned into a battlefield. The ground was full of arms and legs of metal warriors, and Coren was still struggling. When he saw them coming down, he shouted: "Stop this quickly.
puppet!"
Nix understood it at a glance. He walked to the wall, touched it, and pressed it. It was that simple. The metal warriors immediately stopped attacking, but the barrier was not eliminated. He asked Column
: "Who are you? How did you trigger the automatic defense formation?" His expression was very cautious.
Coren looked at the old man carefully and asked, without answering the question, "Are you Principal Nicks?"
Seeing that there seemed to be a misunderstanding between the two people, Shana quickly ran over to explain to each other. She first said to Column: "This is Principal Nicks." Then she said to Column: "He is my friend Column, and he came to see you specially.
of."
Nix ignored Shana's explanation and continued to look at Column, hoping to hear the answer from his mouth. But as soon as Colon heard that this was Principal Nix, he immediately said: "I am Darth Ward's son.
,Colon Ward.”.
Hearing Dahls' name, Nicks was moved in his heart. But on the surface, he said: "Dahls has no son."
"I am his adopted son, please believe me." Kelen wanted to explain clearly.
"Then please explain why the automatic defense formation was triggered." Nicks refused to give in.
Ellu couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Old man, Coren has suffered a lot just to come here, and you still don't trust him?"
Shana also said: "Yes. Coren will use that random teleportation scroll because of me. Otherwise, he can prove himself."
Nix looked at Shana, "Teleportation scroll? I made it? What's the effect?"
"I don't know. Anyway, all my knights are gone." Shana felt so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
"No wonder some of your knights have returned from afar recently, and they turned out to be my scrolls." Nicks said to himself.
Elu had already taken out the bow and arrow from his back and pointed it at Nicks: "Let Coren go, or he will die."
Nix ignored the bow and arrow that threatened him and continued to ask Xiang Coren: "What happened to Dalles?"
"It was Lycoman who attacked us. Dals left to cover me and stayed to fight with him. Later, his whereabouts were unknown." Coren trembled with hatred when he thought of this incident.
The barrier suddenly disappeared. "Child, you have suffered." Hearing Lykoman's name, he finally believed in Colon.
Elu retracted her bow and arrow and ran to Coren, checking the injuries on his body, but there were none? Seeing that the misunderstanding had been eliminated, Shana asked Nyx: "Is my brother back?"
"Prince Karl has come back a long time ago. And there is a bearded mercenary leader following him. They have been looking for you." Nix seemed to be very concerned about these things about Shana.
"Brother Karl is back, then I'll be relieved." Shana beamed with joy. She immediately ran to Kelen to see if he was okay.
Colen came to Principal Nix and said, "Please think of a way to help me find my father. He is missing in the Alien Forest."
An imperceptible surprise appeared on Nix's face, "The forest of aliens? How could he go there? If he encounters alien warriors, even if a whole regular army goes in, not a few will come out."
"Please think of a way." Shana also begged Nicks for help.
Nicks thought to himself: "Meeting an alien warrior in an alien forest is equivalent to a death sentence. Unless..."
Coren lowered his head in despair and said to himself: "Is there nothing we can do?"
"No, maybe there is a way." Nix expressed his bold idea. "If you can communicate with the aliens, you may no longer be attacked by them, and you may even get their help."
Communication between alien races basically relies on thinking waves of the same frequency, so they have no secrets. If one alien knows it, the others will also know it. It is difficult enough for ordinary people to synchronize their thinking waves with them, but even if they succeed, they cannot crack it.
their language.
Colen knew how difficult it was. Even if he invaded and controlled an alien race, other alien races would know about it immediately. The result would not be communication, but a declaration of war. "Has anyone ever successfully communicated with an alien race?" he asked.
With hope.
Old Nikos thought back and said: "Legend has it that two people once successfully communicated with alien races and became their friends."
"Who are they? Where can I find them?" Colen was very excited when he saw Hope.
"Now they can only be found in legends, but what is left to us is the stone statue at the entrance of the college." Nix also felt that there was little hope.
"You mean the two stone statues at the door?" Coren thought about the lifelike sculptures, feeling a little lost.
Seeing that she finally had a chance to intervene, Shana quickly said: "Principal, can you take me back to the palace first? Maybe Brother Karl will help."
Seeing that they were about to leave, Elu also said, "If you leave, where will Kelen and I stay?" The idea was really simple and straightforward.
"Don't you have a place to live? Then live in the college's student dormitory." Nix used his power for personal gain and arranged for Coren and Ellu to live in the college. However, they lived in male and female dormitories separately to avoid suspicion.
Nix sent Shana back to the palace. Along the way, he asked a lot about the past few months. Shana told him that her illness was cured. However, she did not say that it was Column who cured her, but that she was cured by Column.
It suddenly healed after being teleported. This made Nicks puzzled.
When Shana finally returned to the familiar palace, almost everyone came out to greet her. In their eyes, although this princess was naughty, she was very lovable. "I'm back!!!" She had no ladylike demeanor.
He yelled and ran over, leaving Knicks in a daze...
"Sanna, it's great that you're okay. Everyone has been looking for you everywhere this month, but it's made us anxious." The king looked like he was in his prime, and he spoke in a low voice.
The queen also said: "Yes. Especially your brother Karl, who went out to look for you last time and hasn't come back yet."
"Brother Karl is still looking for me? Then where has he gone?" Shana knew that Karl was not here and asked quickly.
"You are a stinky girl who knows how to cause trouble. Karl is not sure which country he has gone to now." A young man who looked like a playboy suddenly shouted at him.
Shana was not surprised at all and rolled her eyes at him. "Brother Luo Er, why don't you go find me?"
It turns out that the king and the queen have two sons and one daughter. Karl is the eldest, Roll is the second, and Shanna is the youngest.
Luo Er also rolled his eyes at her, "Unlike my brother, I still have to go to school. I am a graduate."
When the king saw the two of them starting to bicker in front of everyone, he quickly smoothed things over. "Okay. Shana just came back and is still very tired. Let her go back to the palace to rest."
After everyone dispersed, Nix returned to the academy alone to find Colen.
"Colen, there are some things I have to explain to you. Do you really want to know the relationship between Dahls and me?" Knicks got straight to the point.
"Yes. I just found you based on a scroll." Coren also wanted to know who Nicks was.
Nix thought for a while and then spoke: "It's a long story. But to put it simply, Dals' father and I are best friends." At this point, his tone was a little sad.
..
"So that's it..." Kelen finally knew the relationship between them.
"Since you are his son, I will not stand idly by. You will live in the college for the time being. I don't think Dals should die so easily." He patted Column on the shoulder.
"Who is that Lycoman? Why did he attack us?" This question has always troubled Colen, and now he raises it as well.
Nix sighed, "This is a continuation of the killings thousands of years ago. We are all just the descendants who were affected."
"You were also attacked???" Colen was very surprised.
"No. It was my wife and daughter who were attacked. They are no longer alive." At this time, Nicks' expression was very calm.
Colen also knew that there were some things that he couldn't ask, so he quickly changed the subject. "No wonder Lycoman didn't come to catch me. Then how could your magic circle and puppet warriors catch me?"
When Nix was mentioned in this way, he also thought about it. He asked: "I still want to ask you. How did you touch the magic circle?"
"I didn't do anything. As soon as I entered the hall, I felt weird, and then the magic circle was activated, and a bunch of puppet warriors were killed." Colen felt very wronged.
"No way. I designed this magic circle, which can automatically identify aggressive enemies. You don't look like it either..." Nicks looked up and down at Column.
When Coren heard this, he understood that he was not aggrieved at all. This magic circle must have sensed his aggressive ability. But he said: "Is there something wrong? Fortunately, it was me. If it had been someone else, it would have been wrong."
Ruined."
Nick also thought it was possible. After thinking about it, he said: "That's because you are too aggressive. Look what happened to my metal warriors. You should restrain your strength in the future, otherwise the magic circle will open to you next time.
of."
After that, the two argued for a while about the quality of Metal Warrior, and Nix also expressed a little dissatisfaction with his work. Then he stood up to leave, "Okay, you will stay in the academy for the time being and don't leave the capital. The reason why Dals
I gave you the scroll just to let you escape. I also advise you not to go looking for him or Lekoman now. That is seeking death."
"But..." Before Coren could say anything, Nicks said again. "Think about the people around you, maybe you will understand what you should do."
After Knicks left, Colen was lying on the bed in the dormitory thinking about the last words. "Is there anyone around me..."
"Ellu? Shana? If Lekoman really comes to hunt me down, then I... No! I must become stronger, and I must gain greater power to protect them!" Colen finally figured out what Nicks said.
The implication is that he regretted not being able to protect his family back then.
Early the next morning, Coren ran to the girls' dormitory early to look for Ellu. However, because he didn't know where Ellu lived, he went on a rampage all the way. It was so confusing that girls everywhere screamed: "Pervert!!!"
"
After countless eye rolls, Coren finally saw Ellu. "I have found you, come with me." He held her hand.
"Wow. Look, he is indeed a pervert. He falls in love with beautiful women when he sees them, and even holds their hands in public." Some girls watching were whispering.
"Yes, yes. He broke into our room just now."
"But I didn't realize it. He has quite good taste and chose an elf beauty."
"..." Various rumors spread like this, and Colen became the fastest-growing newcomer at Federal College.
After a while, Coren and Ellu arrived at Nix's principal's office. Nix was also sitting at his desk, seemingly waiting for them.
"I've thought about it, principal." Coren also called him principal, which proved something.
Old Nicks nodded with satisfaction, "You are already a student here, kid."
Coren looked at Nicks gratefully and thought: "If I had a grandfather, he would be similar to this old man?"
At this time, Elu realized that she was exposed to the sun and muttered: "What about me?"
"What's your relationship???" Nix still doesn't know much about the relationship between Ellu and Coren.
This question was the one Ellu was most willing to answer. She immediately said loudly: "I am Kelun's fiancée~~" Fortunately, there was no one else around here...
The sweat on the back of Old Nick's head was as big as his fist. He said helplessly to Column: "This is Federal College, you'd better keep a low profile..."
"Yes..." What could Colon say? He could only feel more helpless.
