Did the villainous professor survive today?

Twenty minutes later.

"I see."

A satisfied smile spread across Abraham's face.

"Professor Krenk actually taught this kind of thing in class, that's really unexpected, very good, very good, very good indeed."

"Principal, can I go now?"

The senior student carefully observed Abraham's expression.

He originally intended to brush off the principal, but the principal insisted on keeping him there and demanded that he explain the whole story from beginning to end.

"Um, Principal, could you please keep this a secret for me?"

The senior student rubbed his hands together and asked somewhat shamelessly.

He was still single-mindedly thinking about stealing the intermediate-level mage qualification certificate.

"no problem!"

Abraham generously replied that he would never tell anyone.

Based on his experience, even if he didn't say anything, it wouldn't be long before Krenk's three-dimensional magic circle completely ignited the students' enthusiasm.

There's absolutely no need for me to go through all that trouble.

"Thank you, Principal." The senior student nodded gratefully. "I wish you a pleasant life!"

After saying that, the senior turned around and prepared to leave.

"However, you have to do me another favor," Abraham called out to his senior.

"What kind of busy?" The senior's expression changed, and he had a bad feeling about it.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, it's a small matter," Abraham waved his hand. "Could you please ask Professor Krenk to come to my office for me? Thank you, that'll be all."

"Yes, Principal!"

After finishing his sentence, the senior immediately turned and ran, not wasting a single moment.

……

Twenty minutes later.

"Principal, you wanted to see me?"

Kroenke pushed open the door to the principal's office.

"Come, come, our chief professor, have a seat!"

Abraham enthusiastically gestured to the chair across the table and poured him a pot of tea.

"Principal, what do you want me to do?"

Kroenke was completely bewildered.

"Please have a seat!"

"Okay, what can I do for you, Principal?"

Kroenke sat down and repeated the question from before.

"Professor Krenk, I'm attending an academic conference next week and wanted to ask if you'd be interested?"

Abraham pushed the steaming bone china teacup toward Krenk.

While the concept of magic originating from the same source is still some distance away, this three-dimensional magic circle has indeed been taught and is feasible.

Therefore, he planned to take Kroenke to other academies to show off Kroenke's latest theories to the scholars there, and tell them that this was their academy's chief professor, and asked if they had such a chief professor.

"Where is the principal?" Krenk asked.

"Sea of ​​Dreams"

Abraham said.

The Sea of ​​Dreams is a world of consciousness. As long as a coordinate is set and a specific incantation is used, people from all over the world can meet in the same place.

This is currently the only way to bring people from all corners of the world together and communicate face-to-face.

"The Sea of ​​Dreams?"

Kroenke frowned slightly.

The experience of visiting the Sea of ​​Dreams was still vivid in Krenk's mind, and he didn't really want to set foot in that place again.

He was terrified that his tendency to encounter misfortune would cause him further trouble.

"I might not be available."

Kroenke shook his head.

"Next Wednesday afternoon, after your class, we'll head to the Sea of ​​Dreams. That's settled."

Abraham patted Krenk on the shoulder warmly, completely ignoring the other's explanation.

He took two glasses from the cabinet, filled them with port wine, and clinked glasses with them on his own.

Then, he forcefully shoved the glass into Kroenke's hand and cheered:

"Wishing our chief professor a resounding success and a dazzling debut at the exchange conference!"

You have deepened Abraham's trust in you, and because of your performance, he has begun to consider whether to groom you as his successor as the next school principal.

[Points +1000!]

[Current points: 10250!]

Kroenke looked at Abraham speechlessly, thinking that he could only try to find a good excuse to decline the offer.

The position of principal of St. Auster Magic Academy is linked to that of a councilor, and is a highly prestigious one.

But even if you become the principal's successor, you still have to survive.

"Alright, alright, Professor Krenk, no need to trouble you any further. See you next week at this time!"

"Yes, Principal."

Kroenke stood up.

Then, he suddenly remembered something:

"Principal, you mentioned before that the law enforcement bureau captured a vampire in the sewers of the upper city, so you asked me to keep an eye out for any recent anomalies."

"What's wrong?" Abraham asked.

Where is that vampire?

"The law enforcement agency has it locked up; they're investigating how this thing got here."

"I want to see that vampire. I have some guesses, but I need to see him to confirm them."

Krenk knew that to deal with the vampire that had escaped into the wild, it would be best to observe the captured vampire up close.

"Don't worry, I'll help you communicate with them. You can just go directly to the law enforcement bureau."

"Thank you, Principal, goodbye."

"goodbye."

Kroenke nodded, walked out of the principal's office, and headed outside.

"teacher."

A familiar female voice appeared behind Kroenke's ear.

"Enya?"

Enya stood behind Krenk and winked at him three times.

Kroenke paused for a moment, then nodded:

"Let's go to the office."

Three blinks—this was the pre-arranged code between the two parties, signifying that something related to the organization was happening.

Krenk led Enya to the chief professor's private office.

"Speak, what is it?" Krenk asked.

Enya: "Lord Mengxiang has conveyed the order to convene a high-level meeting, scheduled for Wednesday afternoon next week. All members of the alphabet sequence must attend."

Kroenke: "..."

How come two things happened at the same time?

It's really a leak in the house that happened to rain in the night.

Most importantly, he knew nothing about the high-level meetings of the Hermitage of Silents.

How will the meeting be held? Where will it be held? Is there a code? What should I bring? What will we discuss? What role will I play?

However, it was inconvenient for him to ask Enya about these things, and Enya might not even know the information.

Do I have to find a way to get information out of them again?

Thinking of this, he pretended to have a headache, pressed his forehead, and tossed the pot to the others:

"Principal Abraham made an appointment with me next week to attend an academic conference together. I'm not sure if I'll be able to attend as planned. It's the Sea of ​​Dreams conference, and the scholars who will be participating are all internationally renowned."

Krenk specifically mentioned the Sea of ​​Dreams.

It was to test whether the meeting was actually taking place in the Sea of ​​Dreams.

The name Mengxiang contains the character "Meng" (dream), leading Krenk to speculate that she has a very deep connection with the Sea of ​​Dreams.

The meeting was very likely held in the Sea of ​​Dreams.

Although it's just speculation, Kroenke believes it's quite possible.

"Then there's no need to worry."

Enya looked completely puzzled.

Kroenke breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems the meeting is taking place in the Sea of ​​Dreams.

Then I'll have to go to the Sea of ​​Dreams again and attend that academic seminar with the principal.

"The Sea of ​​Dreams isn't the key point. The key point is that Principal Abraham is with me, and I'm not sure if anything will go wrong."

Kroenke probed with a serious expression.

"Does Lord Mengxiang have anything else to say?"

Enya gave a look that said, "I see?", before her expression turned to one of regret.

"I'm sorry, Professor Krenk, that's all."

"Okay, I understand."

Are we just left to take it one step at a time?

However, with more than a week to spare, there should still be an opportunity to gather more information.

Thinking of this, Kroenke nodded:

"Okay, I understand. You can go now."
