New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
The night passed by in a flash.
...
The next day.
Philomena, who had returned at an unknown time, had breakfast with Sulian and the others as if nothing had happened. At this time, Cielily was still sound asleep due to drinking.
The servants were clearing away the dishes, but none of them were in a hurry to leave.
"Are you going today, Little Sulian?" Esha asked.
"Yeah, the school will start in a few days. It'll be more convenient for the subsequent arrangements if I deal with it early," Sulian nodded.
"Going to the academy?" Nalin roughly knew what it was about.
"I'm not taking you," Sulian said first.
"..." Nalin: "Hmph! As if I really want to go."
Then don't look so unhappy as if you've been seen through!
"To be honest, I still don't recommend that you go and talk. That old guy Brown has a good relationship with me. Even if I were to tell him now that I'm going to rebel, he wouldn't have any special reaction. But that's because he only cares about things related to his academy and education," Esha sa
id.
"Teacher Mavis has already told me that it's okay to poach a few of his teachers, but it's impossible to get him to bring the academy to join our camp," Sulian actually knew this.
"Then what's the reason for you insisting on going there in person this time?" Esha asked.
"It would be best if we can get his support. If not, then the alternative target is those retired teachers before."
"The most important one is the mecha rider instructor."
"The operation difficulty of knight mechas is greater than that of tanks. If there are good instructors to help, the training speed of our tank group will be further increased. It's impossible to poach the instructors from the army and the research institute. Even if we could, we couldn't transfer t
hem to our side casually."
Sulian briefly stated some reasons.
"I can talk about these things," Esha still didn't understand.
"I have an additional cooperation plan. But I think it's better for me to go directly than to tell you about it and then have you talk to the dean," Sulian gave a rather vague answer.
Soon he added, "Don't worry. Didn't you say, Grandpa? It doesn't matter even if I say I'm going to rebel. What else do we need to be afraid of saying the wrong thing?"
...
Esha thought for a while.
"Then you can go. Note that that old guy has no interest in vulgar interests like money. It's better for you to take someone with you," Esha said.
"Take someone?" Sulian was puzzled.
Nalin's expression changed slightly, but she quickly realized that it probably wasn't referring to herself.
"Can she go?" Sulian quickly thought of who it was.
Cielily.
"The witch clan lives in seclusion. Not to mention you wanting to rebel, even if you told her that you're going to attack the Kingdom of Kenrimei tomorrow, she wouldn't care. You should also know how mediocre the human race is in the eyes of witches," Esha said simply.
"That's true," Sulian nodded.
Witches with an average lifespan of over a thousand years can look at humans with an average lifespan of around seventy years in the same way they look at pets like cats and dogs.
Dynasties rise and fall, and forces change, but their appearance remains the same.
What does it matter to them if humans fight to the death?
"Don't underestimate the wisdom of witches. Even though Cielily's mental state is similar to her appearance, she should have already guessed what you're going to do. It's just that she's not interested, so she pretends not to know," Philomena added.
"Indeed, our territory is only that big. The layout of the magic-powered vehicle lines on our side is particularly special. There's also a large anti-detection area set up near the military factory. With her strength, she should have noticed something strange a long time ago," Sulian thought for a m
oment.
Since that's the case, it might indeed be a good choice to take Cielily with him.
A knowledgeable witch might play a miraculous role in the meeting with an academy professor like Brown.
Coincidentally, Cielily also has a very good personality and is relatively easy to control.
...
"Then I'll go wake her up. I hope she cast that sobering-up magic on herself in her sleep," Sulian said as he stood up.
"Um..." Nalin made a strange syllable similar to "um" at this time.
"What do you want to say?" Sulian was speechless.
"Ah? Nothing," Nalin said.
"You must be thinking that I'm going to wake her up with the intention of seeing a beautiful girl wake up, or even seeing her in an unseemly sleeping posture and some revealing scenes, right?" Sulian said.
"No, you're the one who said that," Nalin said with an innocent look.
Sulian shook his head helplessly.
"I'll take you with me, okay? I really don't know why you're interested in following along to see such a boring thing as talking about cooperation," Sulian said speechlessly.
He knew that the reason Nalin was acting like she was in a huff was that he wasn't taking her.
"Hmph! You're the one who invited me," Nalin said, turning the tables.
"Ah, it seems that little Nalin is jealous and unhappy, and wants to pester you to take her along, doesn't she?" Philomena suddenly laughed.
"With a cuter witch appearing beside me, I definitely can't lose, right?" Nalin said bluntly.
It's the competition between girls.
Although in Sulian's view, it's a battle between a loli-like aunt and a loli-like old woman.
"Is there really no reason related to Little Sulian?" Philomena asked.
"Not at all!" Nalin answered without hesitation.
"I'm glad you're not a lolicon, but at least you could have said there was a little bit. I just promised to take you with me. Is this how you repay me?" Sulian said speechlessly.
It made him seem like a completely ignorable passerby.
"A vampire should be honest," Nalin said in a lecturing tone.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Sulian said.
...
Without arguing with Nalin, he went to Cielily's room to wake her up.
Sure enough, she was still sound asleep and had no intention of waking up at all.
After all, she was a girl, so Sulian had no intention of opening the door directly. He simply used light magic through the door to light up the room. Blinded by the light and with the knocking on the door, Cielily finally woke up from her groggy, hungover state.
Sulian immediately reminded her to cast the sobering-up magic on herself.
Thanks to sleeping for a whole night, although she was still a bit dazed, she finally remembered that she could use the sobering-up magic.
After Cielily woke up, she washed up briefly, had breakfast, and Nalin was also ready to go out.
...
"Little Lyndel, do you want me to help with something? I haven't thought of what to give you as a return gift yet," Cielily said with a yawn.
At this moment, they were on the magic-powered vehicle.
"If there's a need, then that might be the return gift I want," Sulian smiled.
He didn't plan to ask for any excessive return gift. Instead, something simple and ordinary would be better, as it would be convenient to build a closer relationship.
"Did he give you anything before?" Nalin asked curiously.
"It's the relevant data of this magic-powered vehicle. I really think it's very interesting, especially in terms of innovation," Cielily said.
"Then what do you think of the magic-powered vehicle we're riding in now, Sister Cielily? This is a passenger vehicle, and the speed is quite moderate," Sulian then asked.
"It's very good. Although it definitely can't compare with our flying speed, for the ordinary people of humans or other races, it's already a very convenient means of transportation and is definitely a groundbreaking invention," Cielily praised.
"Unfortunately, when I demonstrated the magic-powered vehicle, the main thing I had in mind was to supply it for military use, and satisfying civilian use was the second consideration," Sulian stroked the window.
"Did you really invent it?" Cielily didn't seem surprised.
"It seems that you've already guessed it, Sister Cielily. I was still thinking of showing off in a profound way," Sulian smiled.
"Hmph! Children shouldn't pretend to be adults," Cielily said in a chiding tone.
In fact, she herself didn't look like a mature adult at all.
"Then, Sister Cielily, as an adult who has lived for more than a hundred years. What do you think would happen if one day the magic-powered vehicles could cover all the continents and islands and shorten the distance between various races?" Sulian asked.
"Me? Judging from various situations in history... There would probably be a direct fight, and it would be more convenient to fight," Cielily thought seriously and said.
"Exactly. War is the main theme of this world. Everything that is expected to be beautiful but can be used in war will eventually be exploited by evil. This is a conclusion drawn from all kinds of disputes since ancient times."
"So for something like the magic-powered vehicle..."
"Sister Cielily, you witches won't share it with other empires, right?"
Sulian asked with a smile, with a hint of worry.
...
"Haha, don't worry. We're not that unwise. Anything that directly or indirectly intensifies war is strictly prohibited by our witch clan."
"For example, what you mentioned before, the flying secret of the elf race, the design blueprint of the top-level magic-powered core, etc. We will definitely keep them more securely than the elves and goblins. Because we know better than anyone that as long as we don't break this balance, we can con
tinue to safely collect the knowledge we want."
"We can always consider ourselves the most mysterious and knowledgeable powerful race."
"Whether humans fight to the death, or goblins, dwarves, orcs, and elves wage war against each other, it has nothing to do with us at all."
"Before, many emperors, monarchs, etc. asked the Witch Queen for help, but all of them were coldly rejected."
Cielily said with a smile.
On the surface, she was explaining, but in fact, it was also a kind of warning.
It's impossible for those who want to get close to the witches and obtain the various knowledge mastered by the witch clan for use in war.
"Then I'm relieved," Sulian smiled.
As expected.
Since the witch clan chose to live in seclusion, it's impossible to impart important knowledge that is clearly impossible to disassociate from war.
But I think there's a very noteworthy point.
If possible, it seems...
It's not impossible to get the help of the witch clan.
...
"By the way, Sister Cielily, is it allowed by the witch clan to invite witches to be magic teachers in the academy?" Sulian asked.
"About this? Yes, some of our witches are working as magic teachers in some academies to teach students. There are also some other types of teachers, but there are fewer such witches, and they all need the approval of the Witch Queen," Cielily said.
As expected.
Sulian was very satisfied with this answer in his heart.
Since the witch clan still allows witches to do such things, it shows that the witch clan doesn't have no intention of returning to a normal life in the world.
Then...
It can be exploited!
