I rely on myself

Chapter 774: The Dean's Plan
When the academy was attacked like this, the college leaders just watched leisurely from the sidelines.

"I never thought the attack would actually happen, Edward. Where on earth did you get this information?"

The person who was speaking was named Avril, and she was Edward Rutherford's secretary. She also had another identity, that is, she was a surveillance officer sent by the British Empire to monitor Edward Rutherford, but she herself was conquered by Edward and was used by him.

Although her tone was bad, that was just their normal way of getting along. On the contrary, Avril was more concerning, and this was what everyone else present wanted to know.

If possible, Edward certainly wouldn't mind sharing it with the people present. After all, every one of them was someone he trusted. It's just that the source of the information was a bit unbelievable, and it involved the Old Man of Time, so Edward had to deal with it casually.

Although others felt a little regretful about this, it was no big deal. After all, as mentioned before, every one of the college executives present was someone Edward trusted, so naturally no one would be dissatisfied with this matter.

Besides this, there were other things. At this time, Percival, the chief representative of the professors, suddenly said, "It's not good to just let the enemy go. After all, if we don't show up now that the academy is under attack, it will be very troublesome afterwards."

This question concerns the college's position, so others are also very concerned. After Percival said it, everyone turned their attention to Edward.

Edward naturally considered this question and replied without any hesitation: "If it was an ordinary enemy, then of course it would be so, but this time the attackers are the Rose Division, and even the leader is the famous Golden Rose. It is normal for us to be unable to defeat such a person."

After hearing this, the doubts in the hearts of the other people present were not only not resolved, but deepened. After all, if anyone else said this, it would be fine, but it was a bit ironic when it was said by Edward, who was known as the "strongest magician of the 19th century".

After all, many insiders knew that the reason why Edward was given the title of "the strongest magician of the 19th century" was that he stole the "Lemon Gayton", the so-called peerless magic book "The Key of Solomon", from the Golden Rose, that is, Astrid.

It is precisely because of the power of the Key of Solomon and his own enormous magic that Edward was given the title of "the strongest magician of the 19th century".

So now when everyone heard Edward say that he was afraid of the Golden Rose, they felt it was ridiculous, but at the same time they did not think that such a reason was enough to shirk all responsibilities afterwards.

Just when someone wanted to remind him, Edward continued, "Well, without further ado, we should get to the Fool's Temple as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we continue like this, the Golden Rose will come to find us, and then we will be in trouble."

After saying that, without waiting for others to react, Edward was the first to move. Seeing this, even if the others had doubts, they couldn't say it out loud, so they could only follow silently.

Edward himself was well aware of the contradictions in his words, but he did it on purpose.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, his strength is stronger than Golden Rose. Although this is not wrong, it is not right to say that it is the fact.

That's because a large part of his strength as the strongest magician of the 19th century came from Lemongueton, but the original owner of this book was Golden Rose Astrid, who naturally knew a lot about Lemongueton.

If a fight breaks out between the two sides, although the dean has great confidence in winning, there is no guarantee that the other side will have some trump cards, so the final result is likely to be a loss for both sides, which is not good for his purpose. Therefore, he chose this way of retreat, but it does not mean that he has completely given up the academy. Since fighting with the enemy will most likely result in a loss for both sides, then let others fight with him first.

And it just so happened that there was such a student in the academy at that moment, who had the strength to rival Astrid.

Edward had even anticipated that with Astrid's personality, she would definitely come to the academy with the intention of looking for her, so he looked like he was giving up so easily.

At this moment, what Edward had expected was indeed happening.

These black-robed magicians who suddenly appeared from all over the academy were none other than the Rose Division, an armed force called the Rose Strain.

At this time, they were following Astrid's orders and destroying the academy without leaving any survivors.

One of the teams continued to destroy and soon arrived at a magic workshop.

Many magic workshops store a large amount of research results of the corresponding magicians. In order to protect these results, various warning and defensive barriers are often set up to prevent them from being invaded or destroyed by villains.

These <Rose Plants> did not pay much attention to this magic workshop covered with barriers. After all, they had destroyed many similar magic workshops not long ago.

In their opinion, the magic workshop in front of them would soon be reduced to ruins under their attack, so there was no need to worry too much.

The moment they approached, the Rose Strains controlled their black panther puppets to shoot plasma at the workshop in front of them. The highly condensed plasma had amazing destructive power and could be called a magic version of a grenade, but the result was very surprising.

"Bang!"
With several explosions, the magic workshop was directly hit by the plasma, and the huge explosion completely covered it. Just when <Rose Plant> thought that the workshop was also completely destroyed, as the smoke from the explosion dissipated, it was seen that the workshop was surrounded by magic circles and had no damage at all. It was just that the surrounding grass was directly turned over by the previous explosion, revealing the black soil.

Looking at this scene, <Rose Strain> was obviously completely unprepared. He was stunned at first, but soon reacted and immediately wanted to launch another attack.

After all, it now seems that the reason why the magic workshop in front of them can remain safe and sound under their attack is thanks to the protection of those magic circles. A magic circle with such a high degree of defense must consume a lot of magic power, so a few more attacks should be able to consume it all.

<Rose Strain>'s idea can be said to be very correct, but unfortunately they still overlooked one point, that is, if the owner of the workshop is present, he will definitely not ignore their actions.

"Hey! What are you guys doing attacking our magic workshop for no reason?..."
