Suddenly, the delicate luminous flowers on the vines that entwined the roof lit up, and then the entire building slowly opened up in all directions like a flower blooming.
On the massive array, intricate and delicate patterns gradually lit up, and then, in the resonance it triggered, the magical elements in the air also appeared as illusory rings.
Latis scratched his head, stepped forward, and said:
"I am going to Londia."
……
"Please let me in, I beg you! You've been waiting for me here all day. I'm begging you, I really am a student of Qing Teng Academy!"
The monk, dressed in a dirty red robe and with disheveled hair, sadly took out his student ID from the cart and held it up above his head.
“I know.” The fully armed holy knight coldly raised the greatsword standing in front of him, startling the red-robed mage who trembled and covered his head.
"However, your annual mission has been shown as a failure. You cannot return to Qing Teng Academy to continue your studies until you complete the new round of missions."
The Holy Knight said coldly:
"Of course, you can enter the city if you want, but you must be under the supervision of divine magic, and you can only stay for six hours."
"What can I do in six hours? Is there no human rights at all?!" the red-robed mage cried out in sorrow. Seeing that the holy knight no longer responded, he sighed and put the student ID back into the cart.
"It's all that red dragon's fault... and that lousy lord's fault, how come his cities are in such chaos... and that strange man... thankfully I'll never have to see them again."
Musk couldn't help but shiver, crouching down to glance at the Holy Knight.
"Damn it, are all Holy Knights like this? So cruel! So cold-hearted! Is there any warmth left in this world? Poor Musk, all I have left is money..."
The fluctuations in magic created a colorful ripple, which Musk knew signified that someone else had arrived in Lundia via the teleportation array. Without turning around, he couldn't help but curse viciously in his heart:
"Whoever comes, they'd better be stopped by the Holy Knight like me, given a good scolding, no, it would be best if they were just driven away, then I'd feel better..."
Suddenly, Musk saw a holy knight step down from his post and rush toward the teleportation array.
"Wow? My dream came true so quickly?"
He grinned, excitedly peeking out from behind the stroller towards the teleportation array. But the next second, his eyes widened in shock, and he instinctively screamed in terror:
"How could it be him?! Oh my god!"
……
Good morning, Londia!
The gray spatial turbulence gradually dissipated before Latis's eyes. Looking at the golden hall that came into view, he couldn't help but laugh heartily and exclaimed loudly:
"Your emperor has returned, Landia!"
Latis glanced at the passengers on his flight who were fleeing in terror, curled his lip in disdain, raised his hands, looked up at the skylight illuminating the roof, took a deep breath, and shouted:
"Praise the sun!"
"Hey, Gouzi, have you converted to the Church of Light?"
A dull, metallic sound rang out in front of Latis. He paused, lowered his hands, looked at the holy knight before him, and asked:
"Jennifer?"
"It's me, it's me~" Jennifer took off her helmet, raised her fist, chuckled, and said:
"Welcome to Lundia, Gouzi!"
"No!" Latis shushed him, exchanged a punch with Jennifer, glanced around furtively, breathed a sigh of relief, and said awkwardly:
"In real life, don't use your online name, it's kind of awkward. Just call me Latis."
"I didn't expect you to be so introverted." Jennifer tossed her helmet in surprise and sighed.
"It's a pity I have to guard the teleportation array today, otherwise I could have been your tour guide... Ah, if you're free tonight, you can come to my place, and I'll take you out for something delicious!"
Latis gasped as she looked at Jennifer's radiant smile, and couldn't help but think to herself:
"Hey girl, do I look like a good person? You're so naive!"
……
"That red-robed mage who scrambled into the teleportation array just now looks a bit like an old acquaintance..."
Latis walked out of the Golden Hall, the red-robed mage's words, "Farewell, Lundia!" still echoing in his mind. He sighed wistfully, thinking:
"So, is Lundia a kind of besieged city too? Some want to get in, some want to get out. I wonder what made that mage so disheveled? Was it life? Sigh, I feel so sorry for him."
He turned to look at the magnificent golden hall, which resembled an opera house, and glanced at the address he had written down in his hand.
"The Hines Mansion at 57 Tianhai Street? Thinking about it, Jennifer's actually quite the young lady; I never would have guessed… Is the stereotypical otaku persona fixed?"
"But thinking about it this way, she actually has a rather generous personality, so you can't really say she's not like an aristocrat..."
“Anyway…” Latis stretched and yawned, rubbing the back of his head as he searched his simulated memories, “Let’s find a place to stay first.”
Suddenly, a commotion drew his attention. He looked towards the spire wall adjacent to the Golden Hall, the dividing line between the inner and outer cities of Lundia. From the gate of the wall, which was covered in magical barriers, two youths suddenly rushed out, falling to the ground and crying out with tears in their eyes:
"By the goddess above, I have finally arrived in Londia alive!"
Immediately afterwards, several more boys and girls rushed in, fell to the ground, and began to weep bitterly.
"I'm so stupid, really! I never expected this kind of trip..."
"This is too cruel, too cruel! I wanted to be a mage, not a warrior! Why do I have to go through this..."
"Who the hell said you can eat a cockroach after you remove its head?!"
"vomit……"
Latis looked at the group of disheveled teenagers with a puzzled expression, then glanced at the passersby who seemed completely unfazed, and couldn't help but mutter to himself:
"Huh? What's going on? Is life in Lundia this exciting?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the inner city barrier flicker slightly, and the priestess Mitu walked in looking exhausted. Her hair was frizzy, her priestess robe was full of wrinkles, and the stockings on her legs were slightly rolled up.
"Huh?" Noticing Latis's gaze, Mitu wearily raised her eyes and stared at Latis for a few seconds.

With a series of prompts, Latis stared in disbelief as a large amount of steam suddenly billowed from Mitu's body. She hurriedly straightened her clothes and stockings, then coughed twice, her forehead covered in sweat, and stepped forward, saying:
"Lord Latis, we meet again."
Latis's face tightened, and he nodded seriously, saying:
"Are those your apprentices? You look like you've had a tough journey."
"Sigh." A helpless look appeared on Mitu's face. She shook her head and said:
"I'm just responsible for bringing in magic apprentices from various territories. The quality of these apprentices is getting worse with each batch. If I were to teach them, I'd probably be furious in a couple of years."
"I see." Latis looked at the apprentices lying undignifiedly at the inner city gate, and remembering that he had initially planned to join the apprentice ranks himself, he couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Being an apprentice isn't easy either; you have to go through such an assessment."
“That’s true…” Mitu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement:
"That's absolutely right. For some reason, the monsters on this route are much more active than before. There have even been scenes of large monsters fighting each other. It's lucky that none of the apprentices have been killed."
"Monster conflict? Could it be because the cyber police griffin died? It seems there's internal strife among monsters, rather than a harmonious society. Tsk, the monster ecosystem is becoming increasingly unclear..."
Latis shook his head, about to say something, when Mitu asked with a pained expression:
"Lord Latis, have you collected your payment?"
"Reward?" Latis suddenly remembered that Mito had said he would give him magical equipment, and a look of anticipation appeared on his face.
"If you haven't received it yet, please wait for me to go get it together," Mitu sighed and said.
“I will send these children to Qing Teng Academy first. They have worked hard on their way here. They should be very happy to pass the test smoothly.”
"Qing Teng Academy?"
Latis thought of his graduation certificate in his bag, couldn't help but shake his head, and said:
"Then I'll go with you."
"Huh?" Mitu paused, then asked, "Do you intend to study at Qing Teng Academy, or perhaps teach there?"
"neither."
Latis took out the royal crest and letter of recommendation from his baggage and laughed heartily:
"I plan to build a mage tower in Lundia, and then travel to various academies for exchange and study. If possible in the future, I would also like to open my own academy!"
"Oh?" Mitu asked curiously, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of interest. Have you thought of a name for the academy yet?"
Latis grinned:
"Of course, it will be called Herod Academy!"
Chapter 95 It's probably best to forget about colleague romances.
Londia, apart from the spire walls that separate the inner and outer city, has no physical city walls. For this city, the hundreds of mage towers that stand in the outer city are its best city walls.
"Anyway, the mage towers in the outer city keep being built, and Lundia is getting bigger and bigger... However, since the rule against altering the terrain is an important treaty of the outer city of Lundia, mage towers can't be built everywhere."
“Some places, although very close to the inner city, are too difficult to build mage towers, so they have been left vacant.”
"The inner city was artificially constructed and leveled, forming a circle. Tianhai Street is the central axis of the inner city, but it's not a fully commercial street, which can be quite annoying at times..."
Mito glanced at the apprentices following behind him and continued speaking to Latis:
"There were all sorts of churches, shops, houses, restaurants, and entertainment venues. When I first came to Londia, I was just a little kid, and it took me two whole years to remember what each place was for."
"Hahaha..." Latis was about to burst into laughter when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't explored the entire campus after graduating from university. His expression changed instantly, and he said awkwardly:
"Two years is already quite impressive."
Mitu shook her head, stood on tiptoe to look at the end of the street, and said:
"At the very front is that magic equipment shop. Some of the equipment purchased on the magic network will be listed as a commission to the nearest shop. If there is no corresponding manufacturer, the item will be directly displayed in front of you by the magic network. I'm sure you've tried buying items from the magic network shop before, right?"
“The magic network is indeed amazing.” Latis nodded.
"The Green Vine Academy is located just inside this turn. I'll take the apprentices to register first. Lord Latis, please wait for me a moment."
