The scene of this shadow world came to an end with this ending.
……
Ikerite College.
At two o'clock in the morning, a few lonely stars were twinkling in the distant sky. The deep outline of the main building of the Sage Academy almost melted in the night. Only the windows of the top-floor conference room were still lit.
The ever-changing light and shadow of the magic screen were reflected on the thin glass of the conference room. Every time the screen flickered, the reflection of the window jumped in the night sky, and finally disappeared into the vast night like a curtain falling.
Most of the teachers had left at this time, with only a few still sitting at their respective round tables watching.
Loren hadn't left until this moment.
He held his chin with his fingers crossed, and watched as the three clergymen in the scene, like a behind-the-scenes footage, began to beat Viscount Augustine with their familiar techniques.
"…No, I won't watch Lanqi's movie world next time. I don't care what he does to me. No matter who asks me, I don't know Lanqi."
Finally, Loren stood up, holding the table, his voice extremely tired, and walked out of the meeting room door.
But others know.
Dean Loren might not be tired, but numb.
And when they heard that even the most honest and simple-minded Dean Loren had begun to shirk his responsibilities, they felt that the Dean seemed to be a little bit inhuman!

At the beginning of this month, I was working very hard to update the story. I used up all my manuscripts and messed up my work and rest schedule. Now I am working very hard to meet the deadline every day. Sometimes I finish writing at 8 o'clock and publish it at 9 o'clock. It's not that I don't want to update the story, but I really can't do it unless I don't sleep. The time I spend thinking about the plot of a brain-opening story is several times longer than the time I spend writing the words. Sometimes it takes eight or nine hours to write 4,000 words. I am not a lazy dog. I have been writing very hard. After I adjust my work and rest schedule, I will do my best to update the story.
I beg everyone to give me the monthly tickets at the end of the month. I am crying bitterly!
Chapter 167: Lanqi Daddy's Travels: Fun on Campus
Kingdom of Hutton.
One day has passed since Lanqi entered the shadow world.
On this Saturday morning, the sun shone through the thick clouds, shining on the bricks and glass of the royal capital Ikerit, leaving a warm glow.
In this highly modernized city that retains its ancient charm, the red brick buildings sparkle in the morning light, and the glass curtain walls reflect the blue sky and the white clouds.
At Ikerit Central Station, the magical rail train glides gently with a steady hum, carrying residents and tourists to their destinations at high speed.
Walking through the station concourse, the noise gradually fades away, and what follows is the crisp sound of shop bells, intertwined with the melody of troubadours playing their instruments in the square in the distance.
A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman came to the square opposite the central station, got on a small horse-drawn carriage for sightseeing, and began his journey in the city.
The soft leather seats of the carriage sway gently, bringing a refreshing and comfortable breeze.
His temples were slightly gray, but his demeanor and dignity were not diminished in the slightest, and every corner of his clothes was neatly groomed.
"Don't let me catch you, kid."
Noe Wilford sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery of Ikerit, and couldn't help talking to himself.
After hearing that Professor Bolao, the dean of the Magic Engineering College, had sent a fine to their home.
Lanqi Wilford's father, Noe Wilford, took a rare boat trip back from the city of Gran Waverley on the northern border of the Cranbrook Empire to the Territory of Nanwantina on the southern border of the Hutton Kingdom.
A few days ago, when Noe received the cross-border magic communication from his butler Hans, he was shocked at first.
Before he left Hutton Kingdom last time, he had told his butler Hans that as long as the news about Lanqi was not particularly bad, there was no need to use expensive, complicated and strictly regulated cross-border communication equipment to inform him.
If it was just some minor trouble, he could ask the butler Hans to help Lanqi settle it on his behalf.
As a result, Noe did not receive any news about Lanqi in the past few months in the Cremon Empire.
Noe naturally thought that the brat had seen the gap between himself and the geniuses of his age in the capital, so he returned to the Nanwantina Territory in despair and resumed his happy life in a daze.
After all, it was impossible for Lanqi to pass the entrance examination of the Alchemy Academy after studying for such a short time.
"Alas, I didn't expect that much from him in the first place."
Noe sighed. He knew that Lanqi was not cut out for academic work, and asking him to study was just to discipline him.
Even from the beginning, Noe didn't expect that Lanqi could really be admitted to a good school like Ikerita College.
All Lanqi needs to do is not learn bad things and not get into trouble.
however.
You won’t know until you return to your country, and you’ll be shocked when you do!
It is said that the boy actually passed the entrance examination of Ikerit Academy, and he has never returned home since he went to the royal capital!
And he even got into the Sages' Academy!
Although the fine from the Magic Engineering Academy and Lanqi's admission letter were made to look exactly like the real thing, Noe felt something was wrong.
So Noe took the magic rail train across the country overnight and rushed to the royal capital Ikerit. After getting off the train, he went to Ikerit College in the city center.
Along the way, the carriage carried the heavy-hearted Noe through the famous sights of Ikerite.
Hutton Pedestrian Plaza is not yet completely busy in the early morning. From the artistic streamlined buildings under the Erica Magic Tower to the wide boulevard along the Yarra River, various shops are preparing to open for business, and the faint aroma of coffee and desserts spreads.
Most of them took dozens of minutes.
The sightseeing carriage arrived near the college.
The legendary Ikerite School of Magic is located in the center of the royal capital.
Noe, carrying a lightweight black suitcase, stepped into the academy's territory.
After walking a few steps, he was greeted by a loud and harmonious sound of bells.
This is the melodious sound coming from the ancient bell tower of the iconic Ikerite Academy. It rang nine times before stopping, which means it is already nine o'clock in the morning.
The bell tower stands in a vast lawn, surrounded by lush trees. The sunlight shines through the dense leaves and falls on the green grass, forming a complex light and shadow.
Noe followed the map on the sign and walked between the various buildings.
He saw the ancient tower library of the Sages' Court with its exterior walls inlaid with intricate reliefs, the Knights' Court arena with its pointed arch window panes, and the magic screens that could be seen everywhere and the walls they formed, reflecting the shadows of the sky and the surrounding green trees.
After more than ten minutes of walking.
Noe gradually lost himself in this campus.
He felt that the main building of the Magic Engineering Institute he was looking for was nearby, but he had no idea how to use the road signs to find the old liberal arts building of the Magic Engineering Institute in the huge garden, and then cross the end of the garden to reach the Magic Engineering Institute area.
At this moment of confusion.
He saw the sparsely populated garden.
Finally, a student appeared.
"Student, do you know how to get to the dean's office at the Magic Engineering Academy?"
Noe quickly walked over and asked the light blue-haired girl who looked more approachable.
In addition to the magic energy recording camera hanging around her neck, she also had two work badges hanging on her chest, making her look like a member of the student union and a reporter for the Hutton Times.
"Of course, I'll take you there, but have you made an appointment?"
The girl whose name was written as Lu Weixier on her work badge immediately smiled kindly, looking full of energy, enthusiasm and liveliness.
As the secretary of the Student Union, she was recently called back to the Student Union to help because the Student Union was short of manpower. As a result, she met someone who needed help as soon as she walked down the stairs from the Student Union room on the third floor of the old Liberal Arts Building.
"I've made an appointment. Professor Bolaio will be waiting for me in his office before noon today."
Noe answered, sighing in his heart that this was worthy of being the best school in the Kingdom of Hutton, as the students were all so well behaved and helpful.
"If I hadn't been scammed..."
Then Noe added another sentence.
In fact, he still doubted that the admission letter to the Sage Academy was forged by that brat.
He even came up with a bad idea because he had spent all his money. He used a forged ticket to try to defraud his family of a large sum of money so that he could continue to enjoy a comfortable life in the royal capital.
And the person contacted yesterday using the intra-country communication magic was not the real Professor Bolao, but just an actor hired by that kid.
If this is true, if Noe catches him in the act, he will kill this evildoer!
The admission letter and the fine were so realistic...
The only flaw is that there is something wrong with the way the fine was issued.
It was not in the name of Ikerita College, but in the personal name of Professor Bolaio, the dean of the School of Magic Engineering.
As a senior businessman, Noe is well aware that it is more reasonable to issue a ticket for this kind of claim whether it is from public to private or public to public.
The only thing that seems very strange is the private-to-public fine and the claim filed by Professor Bolao against the Wilford Chamber of Commerce!
It looks like Professor Bolao is teaming up with Lanci to extort money from their family!
Chapter 168 The Surprise Prepared by Lanqi
In the spacious garden below the old liberal arts building of the Magic Engineering Institute, the plants bathed in the morning mist and sunshine gave off a fragrance that was accompanied by the singing of canaries, the buzzing of bees, and the gurgling of the brook.
On this open grassland covered with flowers, two figures stood here and talked.
"Why do you suspect you were defrauded?"
Young reporter Lu Weixier asked.
"Actually, I received a ticket. Because the amount was so large and outrageous, I had to verify it myself."
Noe sighed.
The more Noe thought about it, the more he felt that it was Lanqi, this uneducated boy, who had made a mistake by being too clever and issued the wrong fine.
But then again, if Lanqi really had this level of forgery skills, he would never have to worry about food in his life.
Either you become extremely wealthy, or the Kingdom Prison will take good care of Ranchi.
Noe even recalled the last time he saw Lanqi, when Lanqi was concentrating on studying law.
It is very likely that this kid started going astray from that time.
The most urgent task is to check at the Magic Engineering Institute before the deadline of the fine.
