Arad's unruly savior

Hazel grabbed Ye Lin's arm and complained bitterly:

"Sir Yidan is obviously knowledgeable, powerful, serious about his work, and popular in the Eye of the Mist, so why doesn't he become the dean himself..."

When she complained, she didn't deliberately lower her voice, but expressed her dissatisfaction loudly.

I am only in my teens, not yet an adult.

Isn't it too heartless to let a child, or a child laborer, a little girl who still celebrates Children's Day every year, serve as the director of the Eye of Mist?

"If you don't know, you'd think we're going to sell you to a black factory." Xiaoyu teased, biting off the second-to-last sugar-coated hawthorn, and then handed the last one to Ye Lin.

On the one hand, she could share delicious food with him, and on the other hand, she didn't have to deal with the bamboo skewer that was used to string the hawthorns together.

Xiaoyu gave an example and taught: "In our Arad continent, there are many girls like you who have done great things before they reached adulthood. The most powerful one was the emperor of a country when she was still a minor."

"Wow, she's so awesome, but I'm not envious at all. I just want to go to get off work on time and get paid, and slack off whenever I can." Hazel shook her head, then forced Ye Lin to go find Yidan, Master, you have to help.

Yidan was not in the office of Piaomiao Palace. Hazel took him around a few corners and walked towards a door that was emitting heat waves. Behind the door, there were stone steps sloping down and flames emerging. It was completely different from the coolness of late autumn. It seemed as if extremely hot lava was flowing inside.

After walking down for a distance, the view suddenly became clear. What appeared in front of him was an open, huge underground space with flat terrain. There were several thick pillars distributed in various places. Magic power flowed throughout the whole body, shining with the light of the magic circle. Ye Lin judged that the effect of the magic was "reinforcement", which was one of the ancient magic.

Semiani, the divine beast of the Five Elements of Fire, lay in a corner of the ground, curled up like a cat. With his even breathing, terrible waves of heat surged out of his mouth and nose.

Xiaoyu found that there was something out of place in the underground space. Next to the mythical beast Semiyani, there was a rather huge mirror.

  Hearing the noise of someone coming down, Semiani looked up and found that it was Ye Lin. He quickly stood up on all fours, walked to his side, bowed his head slightly, and said respectfully:

"Thanks to you, I am more comfortable than ever and my fire no longer burns my life."

“You’re welcome. By the way, what is this mirror used for…?” Ye Lin rubbed Semiyani’s flaming mane with his palm. It looked like a mighty lion, emitting a burning breath all over its body.

  Seminia shook his tail and neck, which were covered with a circle of golden mist devices engraved with mysterious patterns, and said:

"Before I met Yidan, I never knew what I looked like, because the blazing fire burned my life and obscured my sight. I had a pair of eyes, but I was like a blind person."

"The mist-beaming device invented by Lord Idan stopped my flame from burning, and I was able to see myself clearly."

Semiani, the mythical beast who had no idea of ​​his own appearance since birth, had a mirror placed here after being restrained by the flames that obscured his vision, so that he could see what he looked like as soon as he opened his eyes.

As if he had obtained the most precious thing, Semiani would look in the mirror three times a day.

  After bidding farewell to the divine beast Semiani, Hazel continued to pull the two deeper into the cave and said:

"The Fog Eye Activist group led by Lopez, the 'Steppers', would temporarily detain any monsters, transformed ghosts, or extremists they captured in the basement of Piaomiao Palace."

"To use the words of your world, it's a prison."

The scholar faction of the Eye of the Mist, also known as the "Fingertip Touchers", invented a set of mist bracelets and anklets that can seal magic power. There are four pieces in a set, which seal the four limbs respectively. It is said that if a strong person in the legendary realm wears all four, he will lose most of his magic power.

Even though it was confirmed that Lopez and Cladis had lost their original realm, for safety reasons, Yidan still gave them a corresponding set of four sealing rings.

The remaining realm of the two is only around that of a professional. It was a very miserable fall from the sky to the earth. They may have a chance to break through to the awakened or legendary realm in the future... but it is almost impossible to recover to their original peak state.

In addition to the sealing ring, the cell where the two of them were imprisoned was also specially made. The walls, floor, and ceiling were all mixed with special magical materials, hiding the power of the magic circle.

Even if a powerful legendary being in full condition wants to destroy this place, it will take some effort.

It's not that they don't want to create a more powerful cage, but no one thinks that an origin-level strongman will be captured and turned into a prisoner. It is difficult to restrain a person of this level by relying solely on the power of external objects, and the potential danger is too high. If they are suppressed under the Piaomiao Palace, it is easy to cause unnecessary problems.

Then, all cages are just fancy stuff in front of the transcendents, so there is no need to consider them at all.

"Lord Edan!"

Hazel expressed her dissatisfaction to the other party who was sitting behind a large table, wearing a monocle with a gold-rimmed mirror chain on his nose, with his head lowered, and holding an ink pen with his thick fingers, constantly writing something.

Ye Lin's sleeves were tugged hard, a hint from Hazel. He smiled and nodded, and greeted Yidan who looked up after hearing the noise, and said straight to the point:

"Hazel is a genius, smart, and quick-witted, but isn't it too early for her to take on the position of dean?"

  I never expected that Yidan actually nodded, agreeing with Ye Lin's statement. He put down the pen in his hand, the thick beard on his upper lip trembled a few times, and a smile appeared on his face:

"You are right. Hazel is very smart, but she is too young. She should happily spend her childhood and adolescence until she is eighteen. Only then can she better take on the position of dean."

Hazel's face immediately fell. Why are you all thinking about my eighteenth birthday?

My master wants to wait until I’m eighteen before dating me, and you want me to be the dean at eighteen, but I... I don’t want to grow up!

She also heard the hidden meaning in Idan's words. The Eye of Mist was determined to train her as the successor to Cladis. As the appointed director, she could not run away.

"Until Hazel truly matures, someone should take over the position of dean temporarily," said Yidan.

"Uh-huh!"

Hazel nodded her little head quickly. Since she couldn't avoid it, she might as well just delay it for as many years as possible.

Ye Lin's heart skipped a beat, and his divine intuition gave him a premonition...

Yidan smiled, his sturdy and strong body made his face seem to be greasy. "Sir Ye Lin, do you have any idea to serve as the steward of our Eye of the Mist until Hazel is eighteen years old?"

  what?

Compared to Ye Lin and Xiao Yu's expressions of "as expected", Hazel looked surprised and had a lot of question marks in her head.

Master Ye Lin is not from the divine world. He can't even recite the holy scriptures of our Eye of the Mist, and he has never worked in the Eye of the Mist. Why are you suddenly asking him to take the position of the director?

Without waiting for Ye Lin to answer, Yi Dan said, "In fact, many people did recommend me to replace Cladis. Well, for reasons we all know, even if Cladis has his own difficulties, he can't continue to serve as the dean."

"Lord Yidan, since you are the popular choice, why don't you take the position?" Hazel asked.

"Because..." Yidan pushed his monocle with a chain and explained calmly, "I am a scholar. If I serve as a dean, it will undoubtedly greatly squeeze my time for study and research."

Hazel was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, and then said indignantly: "Is that the reason?"

"Well, that's it."

"I also like to do research. I especially like the mist machine. I also want to join the Clockwork House. Yidan, you are so hateful."

Yidan smiled and continued to say to Ye Lin: "For the position of the chief minister, wisdom, courage, and piety are important. Identity is the least important thing. Restrictions based on race and region are all prejudices."

Ye Lin pretended to think, then spread his hands helplessly: "Unfortunately, I don't believe in the God of Mist. She and I are friends." (End of this chapter)
