Chen Rui's first impression of Starlight Academy was that it was majestic. The quaint gate alone was tens of meters wide, and people standing in it looked extremely small. Even a giant dragon could easily pass through it.
In the center of the gate is a layer of translucent material. It is impossible to see the scene behind. It should be some kind of protective visual interference magic to avoid being prying.
There are several giant magic statues at the gate, neatly arranged, very eye-catching, with strange textures engraved on the body. According to Fitz, these statues are the guardians of the magic pattern, with great strength, any enemy who dares to trespass the academy will be terribly attacked.
In addition to the guards, there was also a group of people dressed as guards, and among them was a thin man who made Chen Rui feel familiar.
Recalling it, at the posthouse of the elves in the Yinyue Xiandu, this bastard man set the limelight on Chen Rui in order to show himself in front of Lan Bisi and a few female students. First, he made a big splash in the purple forest of Grandmaster Fenoa, then broke through the magic circle and easily defeated the academy's holy instructor, and finally killed the super strong Isyorul in front of all the students. Slapped these self righteous guys in the face.
"Isn't this our useless pharmacist Fitz?" The bastard still had that annoying tone.
Fitz didn't look at the bastard, and said to the leading guard: "Captain Remo, this is my friend Simon, I want to take him to meet the teacher to discuss matters related to medicine, please register for me, and apply for a temporary certificate of passage."
Lei Mo looked at Chen Rui, but before he could say anything, the bastard jumped out again: "Captain, it's an extraordinary period recently, and our law enforcement team has a heavy responsibility, we must not let anyone with unknown origins in."
"Captain Remo, this is related to the important experiment of my teacher, Master Matthews, and I can assure you that this Lord Simon is definitely not someone of unknown origin."
The second-hand man immediately shouted: "What qualifications do you have to guarantee? This person has a problem at first sight, and maybe there is some conspiracy. If it affects the selection competition of the Tower of Stars, let alone you Master Matthews can't bear this responsibility!"
Chen Rui can see that the bastard and Fitz definitely have a grudge, and now it's just an excuse.
"Nell!" Fitz couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "The law enforcement team is an important force to maintain the order and discipline of the academy, not a weapon you use to avenge your private revenge. Your behavior will only make Rowling despise it even more!"
The second-hand man Nell sneered: "I'm just doing business. If you don't accept it, you can cry in front of your teacher and ask him to go to the school affairs department to complain about me! If you insist on bringing this person in, then I will enforce the law." The power of the team will imprison you!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Fitz showed anger, but even Remo frowned. Although Nell's aunt, Billia, was the deputy head of the school affairs department, Nell was only a member of the law enforcement team. Remo is the captain.
"Your name is Nell?" Chen Rui interrupted this boring dispute, and took out something, "No matter what your prominent background is, anyone who deliberately desecrates the light will be severely punished. As a knight of light, I temporarily Reserving the accountability for your malicious attack on the church personnel, just ask, can I, a knight of light with 'unknown origin and conspiracy', go in with my friend Fitz?"
The eyes of the law enforcement team all fell on the badge of white light emitting from Chen Rui's hand. This is indeed the badge representing the Knight of Light. Only the candidate of the Knight of Light who has passed the formal assessment is eligible to have it. Except for the knight himself, ordinary people cannot trigger that badge. A white light that proves identity.
Nell's complexion suddenly became quite ugly. The Knight of Light itself is nothing, but the Church of Light represented behind it is a behemoth that all empires and kingdoms must look up to.
The Church of Light has been making a lot of moves recently, frequently dispatching referees from the tribunal to arrest heretics and burn them at the stake. It would be quite unwise to provoke the Church of Light at this time, even his father, the lord of Bixing City in the Starlight Kingdom.
"Sorry, Sir Simon." Remo glared at Nell, nodded to Chen Rui, with a fluorescent light in his hand, and quickly registered on a metal plate: "It was just a misunderstanding, this is your temporary pass, Please accept it, and hand it over to the guard at the door when you come out later."
"Thank you." Chen Rui smiled slightly and took the pass certificate. The Bright Knight badge was obtained by Eliza for him when he was in the Holy Mountain of Light. It can be said to be genuine. In fact, he still has a Knight's Badge of the Guardian of the Light bestowed by the saint Eudora herself, which will scare that bastard out. It's a pity that that thing can't be easily displayed, because there may be tens of thousands of light knights named Simon, but there is only one Holy Light Guardian Knight named Simon—the one who made troubles on the holy mountain, destroyed the holy tree, and was listed as a demon in the church. The number one "Most Wanted" guy.
Fitz glanced at Chen Rui in surprise, and walked forward. The light flashed and disappeared. Chen Rui hesitated for a while, and followed. When he passed the translucent "door", the metal plate gave off a strange light, and he felt his whole body was wrapped in a burst of coolness, and he had already passed through the door without hindrance.
After passing through the gate, Chen Rui felt his eyes light up, and he suddenly became enlightened.
The spacious avenue, the green shade, the tall buildings, the exquisite statues, the men and women shuttling back and forth... This kind of familiar scene and atmosphere gave Chen Rui the illusion of returning to his college days.
Fitz sighed: "Your Excellency Simon, I didn't expect you to be a member of the church."
"You seem to have some misunderstandings about the church?"
"It's not me, it's my teacher, Master Matthews." Fitz said with a wry smile: "The teacher's younger sister and the whole family died strangely back then. It is said that the cause of death was related to the church. The teacher once made some kind of oath with his surname... if possible later , Your Excellency, please don't do it in front of the teacher..."
Chen Rui had a good impression of this young man, and smiled slightly: "No problem, I'm just an ordinary businessman now."
"Thank you, Your Excellency." Fitz saluted again.
After the two walked for a while, a crisp female voice rang out: "Fitz!"
The one who greeted Fitz was a handsome girl, and there were two other girls beside her. There was a beautiful red-haired girl who was also Chen Rui's "acquaintance", named Ariel, who had a very close relationship with Princess Lanbis. close.
"Rowling, I'm back." Fitz smiled and waved to the girl.
From Fitz's title, it can be seen that this Rowling is the reason why the bastard Nell is hostile to Fitz.
"The task assigned to you by Master Matthews has been completed?"
Fitz nodded: "Thanks to your Excellency's help... Your Excellency Simon, this is my classmate Rowling, and these are Ariel and Celie."
Ariel glanced at Chen Rui, frowned slightly, and then relaxed again, obviously not paying attention.
Chen Rui knew that this Ariel had a strange spiritual talent and liked to sense the strength of others. When he was in Yinyue Xiandu, it was Ariel who sensed his strength, which aroused the idea of other boys to make trouble. Now Chen Rui not only has super-system breath-holding and camouflage skills, but also comprehends part of the mystery of the evil pupil bestowed by Sariye. He is able to completely hide his strength and aura, including the shining body. Even Satan may not be able to see through it, let alone Ariel.
"It's a great honor to meet three beautiful ladies." Chen Rui looked at Rowling for a while, and said with a smile, "Your Excellency Fitz, is this Miss Rowling your lover?"
As soon as this sentence came out, Rowling's face immediately turned red, and Fitz quickly explained: "Your Excellency Simon misunderstood! In fact, we..."
Just as Fitz explained a few words, Rowling suddenly found an excuse and left with her two female companions.
Before leaving, Ariel said to Fitz, "What a hopeless idiot."
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Rowling has a good impression of Fitz, but Fitz is like a piece of wood. If this kind of role is placed in Chen Rui's previous life, he will definitely be labeled as "deserving to be fucked for the rest of his life" .
Fitz watched the three girls leave, and sighed softly: "I'm sorry, Sir Simon, let's go."
"It seems that you are not completely stupid." Chen Rui said indifferently, "Because of what? Family background? Status?"
"Basically," Fitz said with a wry smile, "Rowling is the daughter of the Minister of Internal Affairs, and Nell is the son of the Lord of Bixing City and a member of the school's elite society, Shueisha. Unless I can become a master of pharmacy, there is no... Now, let’s not talk about this, the front is the Pharmacy Department, please remember the previous agreement.”
Master Matthews looks about sixty years old, with deep bags under his eyes, and his mental state is not very good, a typical appearance of a pharmacist who is addicted to experiments.
However, as soon as he came across something related to the potion, the spiritless master suddenly showed a surprising hale and heart: "This kind of dark atmosphere... It really is the best dark soul grass! And this fresh mandala leaf , It is really unimaginable that there is such a pure power! Fitz, you did a good job this time!"
"Teacher, according to the request of Sir Simon..."
"Blu-ray grass and seeds, right? No problem!" Master Matthews suddenly remembered something. not enough."
"It doesn't matter, Master Matthews. Your Excellency Fitz and I are also speculators. If the number is really small, it is not unacceptable." The exchange rate at the academy is much higher than that at the magic store, not to mention that Chen Rui has already obtained I bought a considerable amount of blue star grass, so I am not demanding.
"Great! Your Excellency Simon, you are such a kind businessman!" Master Matthews was very fond of Chen Rui, "Well, what other materials do you need in exchange, just ask, and I will do my best to satisfy you .”
Just as Chen Rui was about to answer, an apprentice came to report: "Master Billia from the School Affairs Department is here."
"It's just in time!" Master Matthews said happily: "Now there is hope for the blue light grass."
Billia is a tall, blond woman, about thirty years old in appearance, with a beautiful appearance and an inviolable arrogance all over her body. For some reason, Chen Rui always felt that there was a familiarity between this woman's brows, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Billia's first sentence was a sharp knife: "Master Matthews, I heard from the law enforcement team that you have a guest from the Illuminati Church here?"
Master Matthews' face suddenly changed, and Fitz, who was on the side, bowed his head guiltyly when he saw that he had finally passed through.
Chen Rui shrugged nonchalantly: "This...Miss Billia, is there a problem? As a knight of light, I have never heard that Starlight Academy has a rule that prohibits church personnel from entering. In fact, the church and major colleges Always had a good friendship."
"If you are a member of the church, then take your materials and leave!" It was Master Matthews who spoke, his unceremonious tone seemed firm, "I will never make any transactions with people from the church!"
"I see, Master, I understand," Billia sneered, "This failed transaction should be regarded as an act of Fitz using the resources of the academy to make private transactions with outsiders. According to the regulations of the academy, this kind of behavior is the least serious. He will also be punished with expulsion from school!"
Fitz's face turned extremely pale in an instant. He never imagined that just completing the simple task of buying materials for the teacher would have such a terrible result.
Master Matthews was shocked. If he approved the deal, it would be tantamount to breaking his oath. If he did not approve it, Fitz would be expelled from the academy. He is not a fool, and finally understands the real purpose of Villa's visit this time - Villa's nephew Nell admires Rowling, the youngest daughter of the Minister of Internal Affairs. If he can marry her, he can further consolidate the family in the kingdom status. However, Rowling just likes Fitz and hates Nell extremely. Villa just wants to take this opportunity to kill Fitz and completely cut off Rowling's hope.
A vicious oath made with a surname? Or abandon disciple Fitz? Master Matthews clenched his fists and his breathing became heavy.
At this time, Chen Rui, who had been observing Billia, said, "Speaking of 'private profit', I have more important clues to provide. However, I want to discuss this matter with Miss Billia alone, is that okay?" ?”
More important clues? Billia's eyes lit up slightly, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the office of the school affairs department to talk."
Seeing the backs of the two going away, Master Matthews slammed his fist on the door: "Damn woman! Damn church!"
Billia's office is spacious and bright. When entering the office, Chen Rui closed the door smoothly. This action made Billia frown slightly: "Your Excellency Simon, what do you want to say?"
"Your beauty is so heart-warming, Miss Billia... What an unexpected reunion." Chen Rui showed a strange smile, "No, maybe you should be called Miss 'Solanli', or...'Big Deacon '? Although your hair and appearance have changed, you can't hide it from my eyes."
Originally, Billia thought that the knight of light was dazzled by the beauty, and was secretly sneering, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his expression changed drastically.
Her reaction was quick, a strong red light appeared in her hands, and she was about to attack, when suddenly she felt the whole room darken, and a terrifying destructive aura enveloped her, making her unable to move. At the same time, the red light in his hand disappeared instantly as if being swallowed by something.
"You... who are you?"
"You forgot the person next to your pillow so quickly? My little cutie, what a sad result." Chen Rui's face began to change rapidly, changing into another face, with a faint red light shining in his eyes.
Villa was shocked and blurted out: "It's you!"
