A man among dragons, building a mysterious ancient church.

Chapter 196 Another High-Ranking Official? Released from Prison

The capital city, Kassel preparatory school.

In the long-distance, transoceanic online teaching video, Xia Mi kept praising Fingel: "Senior brother is awesome!"

"To have developed such an unprecedented and unparalleled alchemy technique at such a young age! He is destined to go down in history."

Or should we just let him go?
When Xia Mi first heard about Fingel's invention, she actually felt a murderous intent, a slight killing intent directed at Fingel.

Humans stealing dragon blood to gain the power of hybrids is one thing, but...

Now it's even more outrageous; they've actually developed an alchemy that allows them to control multiple incantations across elements, similar to the authority of the Dragon King.

Since ancient times, that power has belonged exclusively to the Dragon King. As the old saying goes, "Only names and vessels should not be lent to others."

The "instrument" here refers to power.

The fact that hybrids have begun to encroach on the Dragon King's authority is undoubtedly a provocative act of usurpation.

Even though the four kings could easily break free from the power of words, that's a different matter. Which king could tolerate such a usurpation?

Even a monarch like Xia Mi could not accept it.

Speaking of which, Xia Mi and Finger were suspended from classes for a period of time.

Initially, Fingel believed that Xia Mi had a high talent for alchemy, almost catching up with himself, so he made an excuse not to teach her.

After all, he gained nothing from teaching and sharing knowledge, and couldn't digest the potion, so Fingel had no motivation to take on this junior student from the preparatory class.

Xia Mi felt it was a waste of time and believed she wouldn't learn anything from Fingel.

She wanted to focus on alchemy at the level of the soul, hoping to use the wisdom of the hybrids to help Fenrir and win over Huang Tao.

Although during this time, Xia Mi returned to the Nibelungen metro every now and then to check on her brother Fenrir.

Huang Tao's soul was also very calm, without any ulterior motives, but he was always a thorn in Xia Mi's heart.

Xia Mi won't be able to sleep well until this thorn is pulled out.

Thus, under this tacit understanding, Xia Mi and Finger suspended classes for a period of time.

As a result, Fingel made headlines by sharing his knowledge of Word of Power Alchemy, and was immediately hailed by all the hybrid races in the world as the greatest alchemist in history.

The new generation of Flamel, the learned alchemist who spans the ages—all sorts of honors were showered on Fingel's head like they were free, helping him to quickly digest the Scholar's Potion.

This also led to the resumption of tutoring classes that had been suspended.

After all, the original excuse for suspending classes was that Xia Mi was highly talented and Fingel had nothing to teach. Now that Fingel has become the strongest alchemy master in history, that excuse no longer holds water.

The school leaders of the preparatory class took special care of Xia Mi, this little genius, so they asked Finger for help again.

Of course, times have changed. Given Fingel's current reputation and status, the preparatory class can only invite him once.

Xia Mi didn't care; one class was enough. She just wanted to ask about soul alchemy.

Fingel did not disappoint Xia Mi.

After he rallied, he spent all his time in the library reading books, or browsing through rare ancient alchemical texts from Nicholas's side, and he also gained a great understanding of soul alchemy.

If you're determined to revive EVA, how can you not understand the soul?
Finger shared some of his insights and perspectives with Xia Mi, which greatly benefited Xia Mi.

It must be said that some of Fingel's insights were things that even Xia Mi had never known.

The stones from other mountains can be used to polish jade; everyone will have different insights, and these different insights can often provide different inspirations.

Xia Mi quickly took notes, and for the first time, she sincerely praised him without any pretense: "Senior Brother Finger, you are really knowledgeable."

"They even have such in-depth research on such a remote realm as the soul."

Xia Mi even thought that if the results of this soul research could really help Fenrir drive away that annoying Huang Tao, then Fingal, who had overstepped the Dragon King's authority, could also be spared.

"I..." Fingel was about to say something when the potion in his body sent a message that it was being partially digested.

Fingal forgot what he wanted to say and stared blankly at Xia Mi. Judging from the extent to which she had digested the potion, it was obvious that Xia Mi was another being of a high status! Having spent a long time with Lu Mingfei and Caesar, Fingal had gradually figured out the difference in their status.

Lu Mingfei's rank is definitely higher than Caesar's. He is the most efficient at helping Fingel digest the potion. Now, making a rough comparison, Xia Mi's rank is probably lower than Lu Mingfei's but higher than Caesar's.

No, high-ranking individuals should be extremely rare, right?

Why does he keep running into someone?
"Senior brother?" Xia Mi sat back slightly, trying to keep as far away from the camera as possible. "Although you are very knowledgeable, I don't have any plans to find a partner right now."

Fingel's expression froze. Through the screen, he couldn't tell whether Xia Mi was pretending to be stupid or genuinely stupid like Lu Mingfei.

Currently, a total of three high-position cells have been encountered.

Lu Mingfei and Caesar both belong to the category of those whose strength does not match their rank. What about Xia Mi in front of us?
The same strength doesn't match the rank? That's like finding another precious potion digestion accelerator.

If one's strength matches their rank, then that's practically suicide.

The clues we have so far are too few. We only know that Xia Mi cares a lot about knowledge about the soul, but that is not enough to explain the relationship between strength and status.

Fingel was very cautious: "Haha, junior sister misunderstood. I just had a new inspiration. There's a saying among you, 'Reviewing the old helps one understand the new,' which is very true."

"I gained new insights while reviewing the past; it's like this, the soul..."

Xia Mi nodded and quickly memorized the new knowledge, which made Fingel's little heart relax a little. It seemed that he had managed to fool her.

Xia Mi from the preparatory class in the capital, let's chat with Nuwa at the gathering later.

Although Ms. Twilight did not reveal her identity at the weekly gatherings, the Zhou family of Xiangyang was involved in the siege of Kassel.

During the competition, Zhou Minhao threw the match, which angered his teammate Zhao Xuzhen to the point of stabbing him in the back.

After a brief investigation and drawing upon his intelligence network, Fingel quickly ascertained the true identity of Lady Twilight.

Having made up his mind, Fingel pretended nothing was wrong and continued to discuss the issue of the soul with Xia Mi.

Xia Mi, who was diligently taking notes, had no idea that while she was studying hard to drive away 'Huang Tao', save Fenrir, and keep up with her studies, deep within the Nibelungen metropolis, 'Huang Tao' had already finished.

Xu Lie's main body had been parasitizing Fenrir for a long time, while his clone had been parasitizing Old Tang for a long time. With the help of the two dragon kings, Xu Lie's main body was finally 'released from prison' and completely digested the parasite's magic potion.

Reappearing in the dimly lit, vast underground space, Fenrir, far from being sleepy, was wide awake: "Hey? Huang Tao, are you alright?"

"Thank you for your concern, I've recovered." Xu Lie stretched, feeling most comfortable in this state.

I casually picked up some potato chips from the ground; these were unopened stock that Fortie had brought back when he returned last time.

After tearing it open, Xu Lie wanted to feed it to Fenrir to thank him for his help.

Without Fenrir, it would have taken who knows how long to fully digest this potion.

Upon seeing the crispy potato chips, Xu Lie couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Fenrir was already obediently opening its blood-red maw in front of Xu Lie, its sharp dragon teeth only an inch away from Xu Lie's head, waiting for its good friend to feed it.

Xu Lie picked up two potato chips, and Fenrir opened his mouth even wider, letting out a particularly honest "ah" sound.

Finally, Xu Lie couldn't resist the temptation and stuffed the potato chips into his mouth: "So delicious."

"Ugh..." Fenrir closed his mouth in a pitiful manner, his huge golden eyes filled with helplessness.

"Here you go, here you go." Her little eyes looked so wronged that Xu Lie felt guilty.

Unconcerned about Fenrir's sharp teeth, he reached out his right hand, pried open Fenrir's jaw, and dumped the remaining potato chips inside.

The moment Fenrir tasted the potato chips, his big eyes lit up with satisfaction; he was much easier to coax than a child.

Xu Lie himself was puzzled as to what had caused his impulsiveness just now.

Is he craving food after being imprisoned for too long? Or has his body and mind been severely affected by Fenrir due to living as a parasite on a non-human for too long?
