Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 161 Jasyuga Juan, the Launch of the Divine Business Alliance

Autumn is here, and it's that time of year again when rhinitis flares up.

The newly repaired teleportation plaza in Serdarion was packed with Saint Delos students who were constantly sneezing and talking in muffled voices.

Perhaps it's because there are so many kinds of plants in the Fairy Sanctuary, and some of their pollen is particularly allergenic, causing great harm to the students.

Especially in the last few days, after the sacred tree of the elves began to bloom, the pollen from just one tree truly blanketed the entire city.

In this situation, the protection of the Holy Light becomes especially important.

I didn't expect the Holy Light to have so many functions; it can even relieve allergies.

Jia Xiu took a deep breath.

Inhale through your nose.

unobstructed.

In the long queue to use the teleportation array back to Larvin, even the slightest sound of breathing through the nose would attract many resentful yet envious glances.

"Ah, why, why are you completely unharmed?"

Margaret wasn't very accepting of it.

After all, she herself was also affected, and what's worse, ordinary healing spells don't work on this.

She even tried to become a cat to avoid allergies, and then she discovered a fact she never knew before: cats can also get rhinitis.

"Because I am a truly good person, the kind certified by the Holy Light, I advise you to do more good deeds, and maybe you can also receive the protection of the Holy Light like me."

Margaret pursed her lips, as if he were some kind of devout believer in holy light.

But there was no way to refute it.

Jaxiu did receive the blessing of the Holy Light because he did a good deed: finding a way to alleviate the psychological trauma of soldiers who had fought against the demons.

Otherwise, given the way he exploited the Radiant Knights, let alone being chosen by the Holy Light as a believer, it would be a great mercy from the Inquisition not to convict him of blasphemy.

On another note, Margaret suddenly remembered that Jasshu seemed to have been preparing some materials since last night, apparently to submit to that demigod.

"What did you write last night? You don't actually want to join the Holy Light Church, do you?"

Margaret thought about it and decided that joining the Holy See through the demigod referral channel seemed like a very good starting point within the Holy See.

Although joining the Papacy was not entirely in line with Saint Delos's academic pursuits, she was also very curious. If Jasper really became a priest of the Papacy, with his talent, it was not impossible for him to be promoted to bishop, archbishop, or even pope in the future.

Good heavens, what if the Pope of the Holy See was Jasmine?

Margaret imagined the scene.

Well, she couldn't imagine how far the entire Vatican's image would be distorted by that scene.

"Regarding alternating current magic."

"What kind of electricity?"

Margaret had gotten somewhat used to Jasshu occasionally throwing out unfamiliar words.

"It's a rather special kind of electricity, where the direction of the current reverses periodically."

"But why do that?"

"The reason this is that electric shocks are more damaging than regular electricity is because the frequency of its periodic changes affects the heart and muscles. Well, to be precise, electricity is more damaging to the physical body. We don't know about the other effects yet."

Jia Xiu answered very carefully.

There are indeed many creatures in this world that do not have physical bodies, such as undead spirits, completely elemental creatures, and even golems that are simply made of stone.

The reason why the immobilization spell is divided into immobilization for humans, immobilization for monsters, and other more detailed and precise versions is for this reason.

The physical properties of different species vary too much.

Therefore, the extent of the application of alternating current electric shock magic still requires many experiments.

"Oh."

Margaret didn't quite understand either, only half of it.

However, she felt that this spell was worth learning. She also studied the Transmutation school. Not only did the Evocation school like to play with electric shocks, but the Transmutation school also had some spells that turned attacks into electric shocks.

"But is the Radiant Knight skilled in lightning?"

"I'm not good at it, that's why I sent her the materials."

"what?"

Margaret didn't react at first.

"Oh, that's precisely why I need to learn. How can she help me improve if she doesn't learn?"

Gods cannot arbitrarily bestow enhancements or powers upon people. The degree of enhancement, the recipient's capacity to withstand it, and how to maintain stability are all issues that need to be addressed.

Of course, the most crucial thing is that one must first understand God.

Margaret's eyes widened. What had she just heard? So this was the relationship between Jashu and the Radiant Knight? The demigod didn't even have to offer anything; he was voluntarily learning new knowledge.

Humans urge the gods on!

Seeing her shocked expression, Jia Xiu continued, "Does becoming a demigod mean you don't need to keep improving? Don't you have the ambition to become a secondary god, a primary god, or a main god? You need to keep striving for improvement. Tell me, when are you going to become an academician and secure more resources for our laboratory?"

"How did he become an academician!"

Margaret didn't understand how this involved her.

"I'm only in my early twenties."

"In your twenties, you're almost thirty."

"Not even 30 yet!"

Jassi ignored Margaret's protest. "How old is the youngest academician of the association? In his thirties, I guess. We won't ask much of you, just break this youngest record a little."

"Is it something that can be refreshed whenever you want?"

"Let's set a small goal first. How about this: when I graduate, you'll have just received your academician title, and I'll graduate as an academician student. Wouldn't that be great?"

Before Margaret could recover from the academician's seemingly dismissive tone, Jia Xiu spoke again.

"You don't seem to have any urgent research tasks lately, do you?"

Faced with Jassiu's questioning, Margaret wanted to refute it.

But there was no way to refute it.

Just recently, when Jia Xiu proposed using rune replacement to achieve vampire magic, she discovered that she could not completely replicate that research method. Thus, she clearly realized that the issue of magical uniformity was not something within her capabilities.

It started operating from that day.

To be honest, the new specific research direction hasn't been decided yet.

Clearly, Jia Xiu had already noticed that she had started to open up.

"If not, how about this: for the next period of time, I should continue to delve into the field of vampire magic. I can't handle anything above the third ring level yet, so I need your help to analyze and deal with it in advance. Is that alright, Instructor Margaret?"

Among Margaret's many virtues, her clear self-awareness was certainly one of the most outstanding.

She knew perfectly well that, apart from being Jia Xiu's mentor in name only, she had practically no connection to him anymore.

Superficial mentor.

Therefore, he didn't have much resistance to Jia Xiu assigning him research tasks.

Instead, her first thought was, what if, by any chance, Jia Xiuzhen solved the problem of the uniformity of magic? Could she then write a sequel?

Who says the second-place champion isn't a champion?

Therefore, after a brief hesitation, Margaret nodded.

"Okay, I'll do it."

He spoke with the air of someone joining a group.

"But how are you going to continue your research on vampire magic? Do you know any high-ranking vampires? Or are you planning to go find that one at the bathhouse?"

"That's not necessarily the case."

Jia Xiu replied, "I plan to take on an adventurer's quest related to vampires during the winter holidays. There are clues about vampires there."

He was referring to the mission in the town of Chachdis.

The sect leader suggested that the task could only be handled at level 6, which was not only related to in-depth research on vampires, but also to the mark on Bubu's body that had been placed by the vampires.

To be on the safe side, Jia Xiu didn't consider going until he reached level 6, and he planned to bring Bubu with him.

The suggested level is 6, not the maximum level, so it's reasonable for him to bring a level 19 follower.

The winter break is the longest holiday for the Spellcaster Academy.

In Larvin, it's a tradition that summer vacations for universities are very short, less than two weeks, just enough to get through the hottest days. Larvin's climate is very comfortable; even on the hottest days, the temperature rarely exceeds 32 or 33 degrees Celsius. Winter vacations, on the other hand, are much longer, lasting more than two months.

On the one hand, there is the New Year in winter; on the other hand, it is reserved for "practical activities" for students on campus.

Even in a school like St. Terre, which lacks practical experience, there are still requirements for spellcasters to participate in adventure activities.

Adventure is like military training in a high school in this world.

Regardless of how strict it is, it is a must.

Winter is the off-season for adventure activities, giving students more options.

If all goes well, I might even earn credits for this trip to Çachdis.

Three birds with one stone.

"An adventurer's quest involving vampires?" Margaret's voice rose three octaves. "Isn't that a bit too dangerous?"

In her understanding, the winter practice of Saint Delos students always chose the safest and most reliable kind, such as investigating historical sites where there are no monsters, undertaking magical device research and development tasks, or tracking a rare magical creature, etc.

Avoid war if you can.

Not all adventure missions require fighting and killing.

Anything related to vampires sounds several times more dangerous.

The vampire clan can be broadly divided into two camps: one group openly reveals their identity, buys blood through relatively formal channels, and lives among human towns.

It's like running a bathhouse on the black market in Larvin.

Another type, of course, is the very extreme vampire, who believes that other human races should be food.

Those that appear in adventurer quests are definitely the extreme ones.

During winter internships, supervisors are not allowed to accompany students.

If the mentors guide you through adventure missions, it turns into a winter camp.

"It's alright, it's not a big problem. I'll take Bubu with me. Besides, I've already been targeted by a demon. No matter how dangerous vampires are, they can't be more dangerous than demons. Moreover, I've prepared a powerful weapon to deal with vampires, and this is a good opportunity for a real-world test."

Seeing Jasmine's confident demeanor, Margaret had no choice but to believe him for the time being.

If all else fails, can we summon the Radiant Knight?

In terms of recruiting players, Jia Xiu should be considered to be in the top tier among players of this age group across the entire mainland.

After the long line had been moving for almost the entire morning, Jia Xiucai finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel before he could return to school.

Too many people.

Not only are a large number of students from Saint Delos returning to school, but this period also marks the start of another peak tourist season in the Elf Sanctuary.

The sacred tree of fairies is in bloom.

There are only about ten days like that in a year.

Therefore, a significant portion of the teleportation arrays were allocated to tourists, with some being deployed and others being deployed simultaneously.

It's like that water-wasting word problem where you're adding water to a swimming pool while simultaneously draining it.

Neither side is very efficient.

To Jashu's surprise, the demonic invasion of Serdarion had barely dampened the tourists' enthusiasm for travel.

I've already bought tickets for the teleportation array, can't I get a refund?

Under the familiar light, after a brief delay, Jia Xiu saw the campus he hadn't seen for several weeks again.

"There's even a welcoming ceremony?"

Margaret exclaimed in amazement.

Around the square, many students lined up to welcome and cheer each student who stepped out of the teleportation array. Colorful magical birds flew in the sky, drawing beautiful trails.

"Was there no welcoming ceremony before?"

Jia Xiu asked.

He thought this was a fixed routine, something that happened every year.

"of course not."

Margaret replied, "Last year's best result was a final ranking of 36th. There was no way we'd have a welcoming ceremony, okay?"

So, Jia Xiu realized that the dumplings were made just to appease him?

That's really a bit...

Xiao Shuang.

Sure enough, just a few seconds after Jia Xiu stepped out of the teleportation portal, several Detection Eyes immediately followed.

Give Jia Xiu a close-up shot.

Margaret instantly got into the zone, using willpower to forcefully suppress her instinct to sneeze.

The trails drawn by the magical birds in the sky formed runes, triggering dazzling magical fireworks, within which elements formed letters.

"A warm welcome to Jia Xiu, the 500th champion of the Five Universities Tournament!"

Immediately afterwards, a large group of reporters surrounded them.

In Serdarion, due to the demonic invasion, reporters were not permitted to conduct interviews in order to protect the physical and mental health of all students.

Some reporters will ask any question just to generate buzz. Students who have just been terrified by the devil are not suitable to be interviewed like this.

Larvin, on the other hand, had no restrictions.

Therefore, a large number of reporters waited here to observe Jia Xiu.

Jia Xiu wore a fake smile and, without answering a single question, treated everyone the same.

However, at that moment, he noticed a figure moving among the crowded reporters, dodging and weaving, getting closer and closer.

It's like a dragon swimming through the crowd.

In less than half a minute, they squeezed their way to Jia Xiu's side.

Jia Xiu recognized the person who had come.

"Senior Brother Juan?"

The question is because the image of Juan differs slightly from my memory.

He changed his original flamboyant look into a more mature style, like a successful middle-aged businessman, complete with leather boots, riding breeches, and a curly wig.

Even though it was autumn, the wig still looked hot.

Senior Brother Hu An gave Jia Xiu a look.

Jia Xiu didn't understand what kind of look that was.

Then I watched as my senior brother Juan pulled out two cylindrical magical devices from his pocket and started reciting advertising slogans.

"Happy Toys, Champion's Choice!"

The reporters weren't surprised; it's common for people to ride the wave of a trending topic and advertise.

With a bunch of newspapers present and the Detective Eye broadcasting, it's definitely a great place to advertise.

Wow, this guy advertising is even wearing the San Teruo school badge. Is he a student starting a business or has someone hired a student?

Unlike the unsurprising reporters.

Jia Xiu was greatly surprised.

When Juan pulled out the magical device, he didn't immediately realize what it was.

Until my senior brother said "happy toys".

Good news! The mass-produced versions of the mage armor "Happy Stick" and "Happy Cup" should be ready soon.

The bad news is that he may be associated with toys that are inappropriate for children.

"Champion's Choice" is an advertising slogan that anyone could come up with!

Juan was about to continue his presentation, and even give a live demonstration.

Although he had also invested his technical expertise in this business, he was willing to risk his already less-than-ideal reputation.

"Silence!"

Jia Xiu unleashed his attack with lightning speed.
