Chapter 148 The Magical Court, Jinlin City Disappears from the Map

Chapter 148 The Magical Court, Jinlin City Disappears from the Map

The Imperial City's Magic Association is located in an ancient palace, also known as the Magic Palace.

The major battle that Jiang Kun caused by his Kui Niu storming the Mu Clan some time ago was eventually mediated by a court mage from the Magic Palace. The Magic Palace and the Pearl Mage Tower are both top-tier magic associations in the country, holding extremely special positions in China. Even powerful families and clans have to give them some face. That's why the court mage dared to step in and mediate the battle between Jiang Kun and the Mu Clan.

Deep within the Magic Palace lies the ancient emperor's residence, containing various pavilions, grand halls, and countless artificial hills, gardens, and gazebos.

Meanwhile, in the west pavilion of the Magic Palace, four people were sitting around a square sandalwood table. Two were guard mages in uniform, one of whom, judging from his epaulets, was clearly of high rank in the guard department. The old man pouring tea was dressed in ancient clothing, with white hair on his cheeks and countless wrinkles on his face. The last one was none other than Qiu Yuhua, the old professor from Pearl Academy who had led the group.

Bang!

A Buddhist monk glared at Qiu Yuhua with hostility, slammed his right hand on the table, and said coldly, "Professor Qiu, what do you mean by this? Are you threatening us?"

Qiu Yuhua didn't even look up at him, gulping down her tea without taking the angry monk Wei seriously at all.

"Lu Nian, say less and see how Dean Songhe reacts," said the higher-ranking mage, taking a sip of tea.

Dean Songhe poured Lu Nian and Qiu Yuhua another cup of tea and said calmly, "Why are you two so angry? Ultimately, this matter is not up to anyone to decide."

"I'm not just being stubborn, this has escalated to a matter of basic human decency. Dean Xiao made it clear to you last time that you shouldn't even think about messing with those two students. They are the future pillars of the nation, not your guinea pigs."

"Commander Lu Nian, please tone down your military arrogance! Stop using the guise of 'national construction' and 'the people' to do things that are no different from those of a black pepper vendor! Even the presidents of the Five Continents Magic Associations have clearly stated that this matter will not be included in the new magic system. Your actions are utterly inhuman and will be condemned by heaven!!" Professor Qiu Yuhua shouted at Commander Lu Nian.

As for the young general, he quietly sipped his fragrant tea. Qi Hongfei had brought Lu Nian today to test the attitudes of Mingzhu Academy and Didu Academy, not to make any demands. No one could stop them from doing this, not even Jiang Kun, who had forcibly entered the Mu family!

Lu Nian retorted without backing down, "Qiu Yuhua, you're too stubborn. How can this be evil magic? We're creating! Do you understand? In the barbaric era, people had very few opportunities to awaken and learn magic. If it weren't for the great figures in various fields constantly exploring and pioneering, would we have so many magic systems now?"

"Every additional magic system we have adds strength to our entire nation and humanity. Do we really have to wait until demons grow strong enough to treat us humans like livestock before we realize our weakness? You're not the only one who understands this principle, and besides, having them participate in this project is contributing to the development of our country. This is an obligation that every Chinese mage should have."

"Say what you will, these two are students of our Pearl Academy. Your Wei Fang has no right to demand anything of them. Dean Xiao will not agree to this, and neither will their parents!" Qiu Yuhua slammed her cup heavily on the sandalwood table, splashing tea everywhere.

"Alright, alright, everyone, it's not easy for us to meet, so let's stop arguing. It's much better to sit here and enjoy some tea. Even if this matter is a headache, it's a headache for the higher-ups; I'm sure they'll make a decision." Dean Songhe said with a smile.

"Yes, this matter does indeed require a decision from above. We'll head back to report now." The young general said, then rose and left.

Lu Nian tilted his head back and gulped down his cup of tea, then glared at Qiu Yuhua and left with the young general.

After leaving the Magic Palace, the young general said casually, "This time we'll take advantage of the students' field training to carry out our plan. I remember your brother is at the Imperial Academy, right? Remember to contact him beforehand."

"Yes, General." Lu Nian said respectfully.

After the two left, Qiu Yuhua said calmly, "Dean Songhe, let's talk about the students' training."

"Oh, that's all. It's all prepared, and the location is set in Jinlin City," Songhe said thoughtfully, taking a sip of tea.

·······

A few days later, the exchange students from both universities arrived at the conference hall of the Imperial Capital University. Mu Ningxue, Jiang Han, Mo Fan, and Zhao Manyan also arrived at the school early to meet with their respective college students.

In the past few days, Jiang Han successfully refined two soul seeds: Netherworld Soul Ice and Prison-Breaking Cloud Thunder. To his greatest surprise, the Netherworld Soul Ice also granted him a domain called Absolute Zero. As for Mo Fan, he also spent all his savings to help the Nether Wolf Beast advance in the past few days. The Nether Wolf Beast, just like in the original story, indeed cooperated and successfully advanced into a War General-level Swift Star Wolf.

Today's mobilization meeting was held by Dean Songhe of the Imperial Academy, who explained the precautions for the training to all students.

"I am Song He, the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy. Everyone performed exceptionally well in the previous sparring matches, which I am very pleased with. However, you have all been training in the city, which inevitably leads to many shortcomings. A powerful mage needs not only great strength but, more importantly, the ability to survive well in the wilderness ravaged by demons. This is why the university organizes off-campus training outside the barrier," Dean Song He said.

Many students were dumbfounded. Although they had all reached the level of intermediate mages, they had no experience in surviving in the wild. If they encountered a powerful demon, they would be captured and made into dinner (capture a mage for dinner~~).

Qingqing from the Imperial Capital Academy whispered, "That sounds really dangerous."

"Why haven't we heard of this before? We might be in mortal danger outside the barrier."

"Yes, how could the school arrange things like this?"

Lu Yiming said calmly, "Sending the students directly outside the safety barrier means you will have to face the demons alone. This kind of training does indeed carry the risk of injury or death, but as a magician, you should be prepared for this the day you awaken your own magic system."

"You all have classes on demons and monsters, and your teachers explain what happens outside the safety barrier. However, most of your teachers have never left the safety barrier. The survival methods they teach you are only good for passing written tests. If you really encounter a dangerous situation, you'll have to rely on yourself," Professor Qiu Yuhua couldn't help but say.

"Jiang Han will be the captain of our Pearl Academy. If you encounter any danger, remember to obey Jiang Han's orders, understand?"

"Understood!!" the students of Pearl Academy shouted in unison.

After seeing that the trainees had finished their discussion, Dean Songhe coughed softly and continued, "The destination of this training exercise is Jinlin City, located in the middle and lower reaches of the Changhe River!"

"Jinlin City? I've never heard of such a city before." Qingqing, who knew a lot about geography, couldn't help but ask.

Qingqing is a walking map among the students at the Imperial Capital Academy; she remembers the location of every city in the country clearly. However, she had never heard of Jinlin City, which Dean Songhe mentioned.

Professor Qiu Yuhua sighed and said, "This Jinlin City is somewhat special because it was erased from the map fifteen years ago."

P.S.: Please vote and give me a reward. I will definitely update twice tomorrow.
