It’s getting harder and harder to be a villain these days

"Take it away!" Yekarina was slightly angry.

"As the future king of a country, this is your obligation."

Kevin lowered his head, unmoved.

"Kevin, you always see me in trouble, and it annoys me."

"You give it a try. The questions this time are very interesting and very popular among people."

Yekarina squinted her eyes, wondering what she was thinking...

As the emperor who is about to succeed to the throne, Ekarina has extraordinary talents in various fields.

He can defeat sages in literature, he can defeat heroic spirits with swords, and he can defeat S-class wizards in magic.

The problem is her laziness.

Although she is over 16 years old, Ekarina still has not decided what to study further. No matter which field she is interested in...

But despite this, she is still a qualified emperor.

Ekarina is good at judging situations and observing people's hearts. She can be aware of everything but not be bound by any emotions.

The decaying empire needs change, and her consciousness will be sharper than the blade.

Compared with the current emperor Christo, Ekarina has a more outstanding imperial character...

She never shows mercy.

"Magic?"

Yekarina took a pile of documents handed over by Knight Kevin,

"Yes."

As she looked at it, she noticed the author of this elemental magic test.

"Wakele Pod?"

"You know him?"

"Of course I know. Isn't he the one who defended the Red Bloods in the Wizards' Council? Is he really annoyed by this name? Is he insane?"

Yekarina threw the document directly.

Knight Kevin picked it up with a wry smile.

"But you'd better read it."

"why?"

"This was bought at the floating island auction and is worth 2 Galleons."

"and then?"

"It is also sold in limited quantities every day. I got one because of the privilege of being a royal official in the empire. Your Highness, you'd better read..."

"and then?"

"..."

Ekarina laughed silently.

"I'll read it later, but why not buy it for Crito?"

"His Royal Highness Crito has personally participated in the auction."

"That's right. He's probably gone long ago if he's keen on this."

Crito, the second-in-line heir and Ekarina's younger brother, admires A-level wizards very much and works hard to achieve this goal.

"Kevin, what do you think I should do to the Crimson Blood Tribe after I ascend the throne? Sure enough, it's better to kill them all and be quiet?"

However, faced with Yekarina's question, Kevin did not answer.

"Your Highness, knights never participate in politics."

“It’s this rhetoric again, keeping silent when it comes to political matters...”

"But Kevin, your eyes betray you. Do you have to wait until I put the knife on your neck before you tell the truth?"

"...

"

Kevin looked up at Yekarina.

In his opinion, His Highness's pupils always shine with a light that transcends ordinary people. Perhaps ordinary people will understand it as innate majesty and solemnity.

But for Kevin, who has been guarding Her Highness since she was 8 years old, it is just a look of suspicion of others and uneasiness all the time...

dong dong~

In the palace, the death knell tolled.

Kevin said without changing his expression.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to come forward."

"Let's go."

Yekarina stood up and walked toward the hall prouder and more majestic than anyone else.

As a royal, this is her innate style.

And knight Kevin followed His Majesty in an orderly manner...

Chapter 85 Floating Island

The Floating Island, an island that always floats at an altitude of 1500 meters, is a recognized holy place for wizards. S-class wizards of all generations have a place on it.

'Every magic is recorded on the floating islands. '

This iconic sentence has penetrated into the heart of every wizard.

However, it is not easy to enter the floating island.

Except for a few exceptions, only A-level wizards are eligible to enter and leave the floating island. If the strength is less than A-level, you need to purchase a 1000 Galleons ticket.

Foreign visitors mainly move around the Faroe Library in the center of the island.

To simply describe the Farrow Library, it is like an ark that stores a large amount of magic and knowledge. Even if the world is destroyed, it can be rebuilt within a century based on this knowledge.

The original intention of the establishment of Floating Island is to try to record and collect all magic in the world. This is an absolutely neutral organization.

One of the highest honors in the wizarding world is for Floating Island to record the magic he invented into the Faroe Library...

Currently, a limited edition auction is being held in the 'Academic Knowledge Auction Room' on the first floor of the Farrow Library.

"There are currently a total of 1205 people bidding 2 Galleons. Due to the limited number of rubbings, the auction is now restarted."

As a holy place of knowledge, the auction on the floating island occasionally sells some rare knowledge to the outside world, and the auction items this time are the 'Elemental Magic Questions 1-8' formulated by Vickery for the mid-term exam of the Imperial College...

"1100 people bid 2 Galleons and it will be auctioned again."

Counting the people participating in the auction of this work remotely, the total number is more than 1 people bidding.

But the wizard's auction is extremely quiet. Unlike the nobles, chatting, shouting, political discussions, etc. are completely non-existent.

"Okay, increase the price to 2 Galleons, which is exactly 5 people. Later, these 1000 people will be invited to the winning bid area to collect blood samples. We will issue test questions later."

The purpose of collecting blood is to add confidentiality magic to the production of test papers, so that only the person who purchased the test papers can view the contents.

In addition to the high degree of completion and difficulty of the element test questions drawn up by Weekly, the artistic eighth question aroused the interest of the floating island.

If it weren't for Floating Island's strong suggestion, this test question would not have been leaked, but there was no way, they gave too much.

"This auction is over."

As the auction ended, Crito, the second heir to the empire who had been sitting in the back row, stood up with satisfaction and looked carefully at the list of winning bidders.

"Hao Beier, there are many acquaintances here. Is Vickery so famous?"

Crito asked the knight Hao Beier beside him. Although the other party was not a wizard, as a royal guard, she could make an exception and follow him into the floating island.

"Well, the main reason is that Bach, the president of the empire, said a lot of good things for him in the major media..."

The magical genius Vickrey, who had been dormant for ten years, has come back again. It's such a hype, but it makes people have to believe it, because the eighth question is completely art itself...

"Really? That scene must be interesting."

Crito came to the bidding area with a smile on his face and readily accepted the staff's request for blood collection without showing any royal air.

"By the way, can I untie this? It looks a bit difficult."

"It's definitely possible, Your Highness, your magic talent is much higher than this."

"But this is not a midterm exam question. I haven't listened to Vickrey's lecture on elements."

"nothing."

"And it is said that among those 150 people, only one got full marks..."

"It's really okay, Your Highness..."

Hao Beier shook his head with a smile. No matter how difficult the question is, it is enough as long as His Highness likes it. It would be better if he could get some magic enlightenment from it. His Highness is good at everything, but he lacks self-confidence.

"Okay, I'll give it a try. By the way, Hao Beier, you can prepare a customs clearance certificate for me later."

"Now? At this point in time?"

Crito's words made Knight Haobel hesitate for a while.

Crito smiled slightly and nodded.

"I know the current situation. It doesn't matter. Birth, old age, illness and death are inevitable. Anyway, I met my father once last month...seeing him again will only add to the sadness. I will only need to send a letter when the time comes."

It happened that the test papers were finished, and Crito took the thick stack of test papers, feeling a little intoxicated.

"Ah~~The smell of any magic paper is so good."

At this time, a tall man appeared on the opposite side of the corridor, and he was obviously approaching Crito.

Hao Bell instinctively stood in front of Crito.

The man was wearing a straight suit, and his figure was more refined than that of an average knight.

"Gui'an, it's a great honor for me to have His Royal Highness come to purchase the test questions in person."

Vickery's etiquette was perfect. He was neither humble nor arrogant but at the same time respected the royal family. He showed his personal charisma to the fullest.

Completely opposite to the rumored unapproachable personality...

Crito was a little surprised.

"This is a floating island. The royal family is no different from ordinary people. You don't have to be like this."

Vickery shook his head with a smile and handed over a copy of his lesson plan during this period.

"I'm here to give you information. These test questions involve some new knowledge. Without them, you may waste a lot of time."

"Ahem, that's it."

Crito coughed awkwardly.

"Thank you, I will keep it well."

"Goodbye then."

Vickery bowed slightly and then left.

Crito looked blankly at his retreating back and muttered to himself.

"Compared to rumors, he is a very good professor."

"...Your Highness, you can't just look at a person's appearance."

As a royal knight, Hao Bell had heard about the entanglement between Vickrey and Yora, and she was the most disdainful for such a man.

Chapter 86 Floating Island Lecture

After the auction ended and returned to the Mage Tower, Weekly sat in the office and confirmed the remittance just made.

2250 million galleons.

Far exceeded the expected selling price.

This was all thanks to Floating Island's suggestion to increase the premium through limited sales. I actually made the income of my territory for the past two years in one fell swoop, without paying taxes...
