I flew on a sword at the magic academy

Chapter 49 Wasteful Thing

"Skin him alive? Didn't you just say he was your brother?" Shi Daohan glanced at him sideways.

"I'll sacrifice my own family for the greater good! Is that not allowed?" The disheveled old man's eyes darted around as he tried to explain, sounding somewhat guilty.

"Speaking of which, why were you imprisoned here?" Shi Daohan asked this question again.

The disheveled old man remained silent for a long time before slowly saying, "There's no reason why, it's just because I'm Urgarette's younger brother."

"I don't think it's that simple, do you?"

Shi Daohan stared at him. This old man claimed to be Urgarette's brother, so he probably wasn't a good person either.

This disheveled old man was very tight-lipped; he chose to remain silent when it came to important issues.

Aside from the fact that Urgarette was already dead, Shi Daohan was unable to extract any other useful information or clues from him.

Just as Shi Daohan got up to leave, she glanced back at the old woman and said with a smile, "Do you want to spend the rest of your life in this dark and gloomy room, or do you want me to send you to heaven as soon as possible? I'm very happy to help people."

"Get out! Get out!" The slovenly old man looked at Shi Daohan as if he had seen a plague god, not wanting to say another word to him.

"Boring."

Shi Daohan used Wan Shuji to restore the restrictions on the iron gate, and she kept thinking about it on her way back.

The old man's words were a mix of truth and falsehood; it was impossible to tell which part was true.

In fact, Shi Daohan could have directly searched the other person's sea of ​​consciousness and found the information she wanted from their memories, but she did not do so.

Her mission was to investigate whether Urgarette was dead, and now that she had the results, she could simply go back and report to Headmaster Donaldson.

As for whether the result is true or false, that's not something she should worry about.

Not long after, Shi Daohan returned to the small mountain village where the wolf demon clan lived, fulfilling his previous agreement to help them erase the curse on their bodies and restore their freedom.

"Remember, only the most heinous and wicked should be killed. If I find out that you are abusing your power for personal gain and committing atrocities, I will not let you off easily."

"I will follow the teachings of the immortal."

…………

Three days later, Shi Daohan returned to the Horagaka Magic Academy with the little wolf demon Lope.

As soon as Shi Daohan landed, he heard Kalman's sarcastic voice coming from behind him.

"Hey, look who's back!"

Kalman sat on a bench by Jingyue Lake. Behind him, on a luxurious ship, only a few people were eating. His robes were soaked with sweat, clearly indicating that he had just finished the busiest mealtime.

"Who is this little white-haired guy?" Kalman's gaze fell on Lope, who was standing next to Shi Daohan.

Before Shi Daohan could speak, Lope introduced herself, saying, "My name is Lopesic."

Seeing the tattered clothes on Lope's body, Kalman's eyes flashed with disdain. He was about to say something sarcastic, but then he remembered what Shi Daohan had told him before, so he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"His name is Kalman Pearson, you should call him senior brother from now on," Shi Daohan introduced, pointing to Kalman.

Kalman didn't know what his senior brother meant, but he figured it was similar to what his brother meant, and straightened his back with a smug look on his face.

Suddenly, Shi Daohan seemed to catch a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and strode off in one direction.

Next to the attic where Kalman lived, there was a small field of medicinal herbs, in which several ancient herbs that Shi Daohan had brought back from the battlefield of Wang Yun were planted.

The medicinal herb field was completely filled with water; anyone who didn't know better would think it was a pond. The ancient medicinal herbs were almost submerged.

Behind them, Kalman saw Shi Daohan suddenly leave and glared fiercely at Lope.

Just as Lope was filled with doubt, Kalman stepped forward and pushed him off Shi Daohan's natal flying sword.

Fortunately, the longsword was only about half a meter high in the air, and Lope only staggered a few steps due to weightlessness before quickly regaining her balance.

"Buzz"

The longsword trembled slightly, emitting a sword cry, before returning to its normal size and falling to the ground where it was picked up by Kalman.

Lope scratched his head, somewhat bewildered. It was only their first meeting, and he didn't understand why the other man was so hostile and malicious towards him.

[What did I do to offend him?] Lope wasn't angry that Kalman had pushed her, but she was just a little confused by his attitude.

"Kalman, come here for a second."

Just then, Shi Daohan's voice came from not far away.

Kalman glared fiercely at Lope, then grabbed Shi Daohan's longsword and ran over quickly.

Lope thought for a moment and followed, but only from a distance.

"Did you do this?" Shi Daohan asked, his face dark, pointing to the medicinal field that had been turned into a pond.

Kalman, oblivious to Shi Daohan's expression, said smugly, "Yes, I insist on watering it with twenty buckets of water every day. Look how well these medicinal herbs are growing thanks to my diligent watering."

Shi Daohan's lips twitched, he put one hand to his forehead, and asked with a helpless expression, "Who taught you to farm and water like this?"

"Isn't it just pouring water in? It's so simple, why would anyone need to teach you?" Kalman asked, puzzled.

Shi Daohan couldn't bear to hurt Kalman's young and fragile heart. She only blamed herself for neglecting the fact that this young master had never farmed and didn't even have the most basic common sense.

However, Kalman's next sentence almost made Shi Daohan vomit blood on the spot.

"While you were away, I was the one who took care of the herb garden on the mountain. Locke, George, and Fiona only came over occasionally to help out."

Kalman seemed to be taking credit, babbling on and on about how diligent and hardworking he had been during Shi Daohan's absence.

"You mean you take care of my medicinal herb garden on the mountain like this?!" Shi Daohan exclaimed.

"Yes, that herb garden is quite large, so I had George and Locke dig an aqueduct to transport water directly from your spirit pool." Kalman raised his head proudly.

"This is bad!" Shi Daohan cried out inwardly, and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

"boom!"

Before long, Mount Shengdajia trembled violently, as if an earthquake had occurred, and Jingyue Lake was churned with towering waves, resembling a tsunami, a truly terrifying sight.

"What a tragedy! My Lingxi Soil!!"

On the summit of Lingfeng, looking at the spirit herb garden that had been turned into a pool of water, Shi Daohan almost coughed up a mouthful of blood.

She covered the soil in the herb garden with a layer of spiritual tide soil, which is a very rare soil that gathers the essence of heaven and earth. It only needs a little spiritual spring water to help cultivate herbs of grade four or above.

Just a little bit is enough; no more, otherwise the spiritual essence of the spiritual soil will be drawn back by the spiritual essence of the spiritual spring water.

But now, that brat Kalman has actually dug an aqueduct between the herb garden and the spring pool, turning the herb garden into a pool, and her spiritual soil has all turned into clay!

Shi Daohan returned to the shore of Jingyue Lake at the foot of the mountain, waved to Kalman from afar, and said with a stiff smile, "My good disciple, come here, your master has something good to show you."

"See? Master treats me very well, doesn't he?"

Kalman glanced smugly at Lope beside him, then grinned and scurried over.

"Master, what good things are you going to give me?"

Kalman rubbed his hands together excitedly, his face full of anticipation.

"Let me show you... a real treasure!"

Before he finished speaking, Shi Daohan had a baseball bat in his hand and immediately gave Kalman a "love lesson".

"Ah! Poet Master, why did you hit me?!"

Kalman let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

"Because you deserved a beating! You ruined all my fine spiritual soil, you brat! Don't you think you deserved it? You good-for-nothing, I'll beat you to death!"

"Ah! Master, I know I was wrong! Please stop hitting me!"

Looking at the scene before her, Lope's lips twitched uncontrollably, and her initial envy of Kalman vanished instantly.

Before long, Shi Daohan dragged the half-dead Kalman toward Lope, carrying a baseball bat that had been broken in half.

"Go apply the medicine to him. I'm going to see Headmaster Donaldson to discuss some things. I'll arrange accommodations for you when I get back."

With those words, Shi Daohan stepped into the void and vanished in the blink of an eye.

……

"Clang! Clang!"

On an open space in front of the academy's residence, two figures sat facing each other across a table, one old and one young. One had a cup of coffee in front of him, while the other had a cup of hot tea. They were none other than Academy Master Donaldson and Shi Daohan.

"I didn't expect you to come back so early. Have you investigated everything?" Dean Donaldson always had a kind and gentle smile on his face, without any airs of someone in a high position.

Shi Daohan said, "Well... I didn't find Urgarette, but I unexpectedly met his younger brother."

"Urgarette's brother?" Headmaster Donaldson looked surprised; he had never heard of Urgarette having a brother.

Where did you meet him?

"Inside a tower, he was imprisoned in a room, and it seemed he had been there for quite some time." Shi Daohan recounted the entire process of encountering the disheveled old man in detail.

"Is Urgot really dead? He even had a younger brother. Why have I never heard of him before?" Headmaster Donaldson muttered to himself, stroking his beard.

"He initially lied, claiming he was imprisoned there by Urgarette, trying to trick me into helping him break the seal. After I saw through his lie, he said he was Urgarette's brother, so you can't completely trust what he says," Shi Daohan said, expressing his thoughts.

Dean Donaldson nodded: "This person's true identity cannot be confirmed yet. It is indeed difficult to be convinced based solely on his one-sided account."

Shi Daohan said, "Speaking of which, when he heard your name, his words were full of disdain and belittlement. I think you should know this person."

"The people I know..." Donaldson pondered seriously for a long time without any clue, and said, "There are indeed quite a few dark mages who have grudges against me, but he claims to be Urgarette's brother, but I have no recollection of this person at all. I need to verify his true identity with the Magic Guild."

Shi Daohan didn't care much. Anyway, she had already completed her mission. As for the true identity of that slovenly old man, that was not something she should care about.

She took a small sip of hot tea and joked with a smile, "Over the past few days, I've discovered that this Urgarette has done quite a few despicable things. It's a pity I didn't meet him, otherwise I would definitely have experienced his tricks firsthand."

Upon hearing this, Headmaster Donaldson's expression immediately turned serious. He said, "Ugarette was a powerful dark mage. Back then, even the Magic Guild, together with several transcendent families, couldn't save his life."

"Even I was severely injured by him and have not yet recovered. Your strength is indeed outstanding among your peers, but do not be arrogant. Urgarette's power is beyond your imagination and is definitely not something you can deal with alone."

In that battle, Headmaster Donaldson suffered severe injuries that he has yet to fully recover from. Otherwise, given his magical prowess and understanding, it wouldn't have been difficult for him to advance further.

Shi Daohan nodded: "If such a demon were still alive, it would be like a needle stuck in my heart. I would never feel at ease until he is eliminated."

At this point, Shi Daohan recalled the mausoleum of the Demon Emperor's Immortal in the Pot.

"Headmaster Donaldson, have there been any recent changes at the Demon Emperor's Mausoleum?"

"You mean Diablo's tomb? The last time the Yin Tomb appeared, several transcendent families, including the Laurent family, suffered heavy casualties and had to retreat. The turmoil has now largely subsided."

Shi Daohan was not surprised by this result. As she had said before, the contingency plan left by the Demon Emperor in the Pot, even after a thousand years and its power reduced to one-tenth, was still unparalleled in its killing power and could not be resisted by human beings.

Whenever Shi Daohan thought of the Demon Emperor's Yin Mausoleum, he felt a pang of regret, as if he had missed out on a fortune. This was because the corpse of the Immortal in the Pot was very likely inside the Yin Mausoleum, which was undoubtedly a supreme treasure and one of the best raw materials for refining ultimate imperial weapons.

Shi Daohan shook his head, no longer thinking about these things, and looked at Dean Donaldson, saying, "I have completed the task you assigned me, as you promised me before..."

"Don't worry, I've already prepared it for you." Dean Donaldson took out a thick notebook from under the table and handed it to Shi Daohan.

"The personal information and resumes of all faculty and students of Horajaka College are on this page."

He paused, then added, "While it's not exactly a secret, it still involves personal privacy. You can't tell anyone after you read it, otherwise, if the people in the academic affairs office hold you accountable, I won't be able to protect you, understand?"

Shi Daohan nodded and took the file, muttering to himself, "I just hope I can find some clues about the Demon Lord's reincarnation vessel here, otherwise all my work these past few days will have been for nothing."
