Lanqi was just making an analogy based on the game in his previous life that seemed to be made based on this world.
"If... father is still in Hutton Kingdom..."
Hyperion lowered her head and muttered.
Every time this happened, she would think of her father.
"Yes, if Duke Migaiya were still here, the Kingdom of Hutton would have at least a quasi-bishop-level fighter."
Lan Qi sighed.
"Quasi-bishop level...?"
Hyperion looked at Lanci suspiciously.
"That's what the Alchemy Institute said."
Lanci reluctantly explained this very folk and outrageous definition to Hyperion.
No matter what, the eighth level is already one of the most powerful people in the northern and southern continents.
Since there is no specific level reference, and the strength difference after the eighth level is huge, the students of the Alchemy Academy alone have divided the eighth level strength into several levels.
Tearing off combat power has long been a great pleasure for the Alchemy Academy.
From what Lan Qi heard, there are many outrageous definitions such as "ordinary eighth level", "strong eighth level", "quasi-bishop-level strength", "bishop-level strength", and "super-bishop-level strength".
For example, Ivanos and Loren were both classified as bishop-level.
And Talia is probably at the strong eighth level.
A quasi-bishop-level person can barely stop the Cardinal of the Church of Resurrection by his own strength, but he has no way of defeating him, such as the Undead Sword Saint Julianna.
The super bishop-level strength is represented by the strongest one or two bishops in the Church of Resurrection.
In war, a bishop of the eighth level may directly change the fate of a country.
This is why Loren is known as the strong defender of the Hutton Kingdom.
Therefore, the disappearance of Duke Migaia was an extremely heavy blow to the Kingdom of Hutton. As the holder of the stone tablet, Duke Migaia was at least as strong as a quasi-bishop.
Later, Lanqi couldn't bear to see his classmates in the Alchemy Academy quarreling, so he casually proposed the analogous concept of "level" and asked them to unify the weights and measures.
The result was unexpected.
Since Lan Qi proposed the concept of "level".
The students of the Alchemy Academy are fighting even more fiercely for combat power.
They are now always discussing whether Dean Loren, the strongest man in the Hutton Kingdom, is at level eighty, and Bishop of Destruction Ivanos is also at level eighty.
Noisy.
It even seemed that the Alchemy Institute had begun joint research with the Magic Engineering Institute, aiming to develop magical tools that could specifically analyze the target's "level".
Anyway, these problems are not the concern of Lanqi, who is in his forties.
Lanci was only certain that he and Hyperion had obtained tickets to the Church of Resurrection in the Northern Continent.
Next, once you are ready, you can start planning your winter vacation studies.
I hope that when they return from the Northern Continent, the Southern Continent will still be stable for the time being.
Lanqi has no confidence that he can become strong enough to influence the situation of the kingdom war after just one trip to the Northern Continent.
I tried my best, the evening fainted
Chapter 200 Loren has not yet realized the seriousness of the problem
On an autumn morning in Ikerita, as the violent storm of last night gradually faded away, dawn slowly began to appear on the horizon.
The buildings in the city were covered with water droplets after the rain. Under the sunlight, they turned into countless crystal gems, sparkling.
The sunlight slanted down on the red brick teaching building of Ikerite College, and the edges of the light appeared particularly warm.
"Ikrit Academy is still the best. You don't have to worry about anything."
A young man in a black classic suit, with a slightly tired look on his face, was walking on the school's tree-lined path, holding a cup of coffee and a morning newspaper in his hands.
He looked completely harmless, without even a trace of magic energy on him, but the holy cross on the buttons of his formal suit and the collar would allow any resident to guess that he was a clergyman of a very high status.
The walkways of Ikerite Academy were covered with wet fallen leaves. The autumn leaves had begun to turn red, and the rain made them look even brighter. Every step was accompanied by a gentle "click" sound, as if it were the melody of autumn.
Loren walked along the school all the way to the main building of the Sage's House. He saw that every ancient building had experienced countless wind, frost and rain. The red brick walls looked deep and textured after the rain, and every brick carried the traces of time and stories.
On the green space in front of the Xianzheyuan Ancient Pagoda Library, several parrots were jumping around looking for food, occasionally stopping to look up, and interacting with the students passing by.
“Today is another day full of hope.”
Loren thought.
Soon, Loren arrived at the main building of the Sage's House.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, the warm air inside the teaching building immediately hit me in the face, which was in stark contrast to the chill of the late autumn morning outside. In the corridor, one or two students were reading books hurriedly with their heads down, or whispering to each other. When they saw Dean Loren, they immediately looked up and bowed to show their respect.
"Dean Loren...good morning!"
"Good morning."
Loren responded with a slight nod and headed to his upstairs office.
Each step looks a little old, but is absolutely sturdy and can stand the test of time. When your fingers touch the handrail, you can feel the texture of the wood and the warmth given to it by time. At the corners of the stairs, the church-style stained glass windows cast mottled light and shadows on the corridor.
Arriving at the office, Loren finally felt like he was home. His desk was piled high with books and materials, and there was a fresh scent of incense by the windowsill.
He put the coffee and newspaper on the table, sat down in the chair easily, and took a breath. The whole world became quiet at this moment.
Although he holds important church responsibilities and serves as dean, he is not actually a workaholic.
But sometimes, only by keeping himself busy with work can Loren have an excuse to escape those troublesome personal matters.
"Oh, by the way, we still need to show that gold-level card maker girl the [Original Slate - Wind]. We need to arrange a time for her to come to the Sage Academy."
Loren thought as he sipped his coffee.
Originally, he was a little surprised about the second-year gold-level card maker.
But because of Lanqi, Loren now feels that "that's it".
However, he recalled the gold-level card maker named Kallen whom he met a few days ago at the Royal Academy of Alolan, and he always felt that there was some inexplicable similarity between her and Lanqi.
It's not about their talent, but their temperament or something like that...
But apart from the green eyes, Loren couldn't tell where the resemblance lay.
Forget it, that girl seems to have a good personality, there is no need to compare her with Lanqi.
While Loren was quietly enjoying the rare peace, there were two soft knocks on the office door.
Loren raised his head and looked at the door with his gentle eyes, "Please come in."
The door slowly opened, and a girl with a calm and pleasant look walked in, holding a folder in both hands, like a skilled department employee.
"Dean Loren, good morning."
The voice of Asna, the vice president of the Student Union, is as sweet as a nightingale, with a hint of naturalness, like the sound of mountain spring water hitting stone, crisp and melodious.
She is not only an outstanding student of the Sage Academy, but also a good assistant to the teachers of the Sage Academy. She is often responsible for helping the teachers deal with some matters between the school and students.
"Morning, Asna."
Loren smiled and nodded, motioning for her to sit down.
Except for not being very interested in magic, Asna is a model of an excellent student in the Sage Academy in every aspect.
Of course, even if Asna only paid a little attention to her lessons at the Sage Academy, she was still the leader among the third-year students in terms of practical ability.
Although many nobles and ministers of the kingdom felt sad when they saw Asna, they felt that Loren had ruined her.
But Loren thought it was fine this way.
If you want to be a chef, then be one.
Loren didn't think it was a bad thing to waste his extraordinary talent. If a young person had a choice, happiness was the most important thing.
As educators, we only need to guide students to understand the complexity of the world, and we should not force them to decide their future.
Asna nodded politely to Loren, then stood across the table. She opened the folder, took out the information inside, and began to report to Loren in detail and order. She was already familiar with the work of the Student Union and the school.
In the distance, the bell in the clock tower rang on time, and the sound echoed in the campus, reminding every student that time is passing, but knowledge and pursuit will never stop.
"I see."
As the bell sound faded away, Loren finished listening to Asna's brief narration and nodded.
He leaned back in his chair, sipping his coffee, thinking for a moment, looking a little confused.
"Asna, I've been here for a while and I feel like there seem to be a lot more rumors about me in school recently."
Loren always felt that some students stopped talking nervously when they saw him today, as if they were secretly talking about him.
So he asked Asna.
"Which version do you mean?"
Ashna asked.
"?"
How come there are several versions?
"Tell me about the latest version."
Loren sat up straighter, sensing that something was wrong.
"They said that you and Knight Commander Juliana had an ambiguous relationship from the beginning to the end, but you pretended to have some conflicts to confuse your group of fiancées. In fact, the two of you would secretly go on a date every once in a while under the pretext of official business. Not only did you have a special liking for Knight Commander Juliana, you were also able to use sweet words to make dozens of fiancées happy and fall for you. The students now call you the "Love Saint" and say that you will be able to win Knight Commander Juliana over the next time you go on a date with her."
Loren almost spilled the coffee in his hand after hearing this.
There are two more chapters to come, and three more chapters today.
