The wrong transmigrator assigned by the system

In other words, both Grand Duke Rael and Grand Duke Feraum learned from him, which is why they had time to travel to different places.

Grand dukes from other principalities want to go on vacation? Don't even think about it!

After several sleepless days, Mirar and Henes finally managed to finish writing the textbook for the Puppet Soldier course before the start of the semester, under the tyranny of Lu Ming and the other professors. They sent it to the printing press in the city so that they could print the only Puppet Soldier course textbook that had not yet been printed.

And the two of them were finally liberated.

but......

"Where do you two think you're going?" Just as Miral and Henes were about to retreat, Lu Ming suddenly appeared, patted their shoulders, and asked coldly.

"Uh..." Stiffly turning their heads, Miral and Henes couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when they saw Lu Ming's cold eyes and extremely dangerous smile. They were too scared to say a word.

"Are you two planning to skip the opening ceremony?" Lu Ming asked them with a cold laugh, his anger turning into a mocking smile as he looked at Miral and Henes, who were trying to run away.

Knowing that neither of them had a chance of escaping from Lu Ming's grasp, Miral and Henes had no choice but to abandon their task and awkwardly smiled at Lu Ming, saying, "How could we miss the opening ceremony! We just wanted to take a break..." At the same time, they took Lu Ming's hands and walked step by step toward the professors, showing that they really wouldn't run away.

That's how they escaped disaster. Otherwise, if Lu Ming and the other professors had found out that they were planning to stand them up, what would have happened? They would have been torn to pieces!

So, knowing that escape was hopeless, the two of them could only come to the magic school on the Prometheus Plain with Lu Ming and the professors a few days later to prepare for the opening ceremony and welcome the new students.

Sitting on the small bed in the principal's office, Miral watched with great boredom as Lu Ming and Ramanlas hurriedly wrote something at their desks. Then she saw two young professors in charge of welcoming the new students rushing in to ask what they should say when greeting the new students.

"Lu Ming, husband, darling~" Because she was bored, Miral suddenly called out in a deliberately coquettish voice, hoping to get Lu Ming's attention and have him come over and talk to her.

As it turned out, Lu Ming's attention was indeed drawn to her, and he did stop what he was doing and walk over from his desk. However, she didn't expect him to pull her over to his desk, holding her close while continuing to write.

"I'm not a body pillow!!" Miral protested loudly against Lu Ming's brutality, but no one paid any attention to her...

As dusk approached, the second-year students arrived at the school ahead of time. Led by their respective house deans, Raphael and Sandra, they returned to the familiar campus and took their seats in the hall where the banquet would be held later.

Soon, they saw the professors come into the hall one by one. Some came over to talk and chat with the students, while others sat down in their seats, slumped over their desks, and dozed off looking exhausted.

Immediately afterwards, Principal Lu Ming, whose status had risen to a very high level, and Professor Ramanlas entered the hall and took their seats. Meanwhile, Vice Principal Miral Sachs, who had become a count, was outside the hall, along with the other deans of the departments, preparing to escort the new students into the hall from the two young professors who were welcoming them, just as he had done at this time last year.

Half an hour passed quickly amidst the chattering of the second-grade students.

At that moment, the hall doors opened, and the first-year students poured into the hall, led by Miral and the other four deans.

Among these newborns are humans, beastmen, merfolk, vampires, elves, insectoids, savages, tree spirits, and undead. They include agricultural peoples living in cities and countryside, as well as nomadic peoples who follow cattle and sheep to pastures. It can be said that these newborns encompass almost all the races from all the duchies in the entire Miracaiser Kingdom, making them incredibly diverse.

While the second-year students and senior auditors were sizing up the first-year students and new auditors, the professors somehow brought in twenty chairs, each with a magic hat on it.

Seeing this, those who have already experienced all of this know that the division into departments is about to begin.

However, the freshmen who had not yet experienced all of this were somewhat reserved when they saw it. It wasn't until the magic hats started singing, which startled them, and they were called out one by one by the professors to put on the magic hats and begin the sorting process, that these freshmen gradually began to relax.

Because of the arrival of new students, ten more long tables were added to the hall, enough for everyone to sit down.

However, many observant students noticed that even with ten more long tables added, nearly half of the hall remained unused. It's possible that even if all students from grades one to six sat in the hall, it wouldn't be possible to utilize the entire space.

Sitting in his high principal's seat, Lu Ming stood up and used magic to transmit his words to everyone's ears.

"I am Lu Ming, the principal of Prometheus Magic School. I warmly welcome you all to study here. I hope you will all learn magic and knowledge that you can be proud of! In addition, among you are both new students who have just arrived and senior students who have been studying at the school for a year. As the principal of this school, I hope that you can help each other, complete your studies together, and find joy in the magic you learn."

He then added, "I won't say anything more. When I was a child, what I hated most was the principal rambling on and on on on the podium, so please enjoy your meal."

The fork gently tapped the empty plate in front of him, and suddenly all sorts of food and magical energy crystals appeared on the plates in front of all the professors, students, and auditors.

As soon as Principal Lu Ming took the first bite of the sausage with his knife and fork, everyone began to eat.

"Sigh~ Why is it the same as last year?" Because many of the first-year students and new auditors were from ordinary families, and many had never seen so much food before, the students went crazy grabbing everything at the banquet, just like last year. This left many professors somewhat frustrated, after all, the pudding at the school was famously delicious...

"Just like last time, let's serve the pudding last this time." Unlike the professors, Lu Ming didn't have much dissatisfaction with the children and adults scrambling for food. On the contrary, he was happy to see this scene, because after experiencing all of this, these students and auditors were able to put aside their status and integrate equally into the warm and cooperative learning atmosphere of the school.

If it allows those children to learn magic together better, what's wrong with eating pudding a little later?

So at this year's opening banquet, pudding once again became the grand finale delicacy...

Chapter 5 - Business Trip

Two weeks after the start of the Prometheus School of Magic, Lothric arrived at the school with a Dark Elf and a member of the royal family.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Lothric's expression was not good, Lu Ming poured him and the other two a cup of coffee and tea and asked with some concern.

Taking the green tea from Lu Ming, Lothric sighed and said, "Something happened in Darkea."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming frowned and looked at the Dark Elf who had come with Lothric.

Seeing Lu Ming looking at him, the Dark Elf immediately stood up and said to Lu Ming, "I am an envoy of Dark Aifa. I originally came to Miracaisar to congratulate your queen on your country's successful defeat of the Aifa Empire, and to invite various magic schools in your country to hold a magic school exchange meeting on our border. However, just as I arrived in your capital, my country's priests suddenly informed me with divine magic that a curse has suddenly appeared on our land, and this curse is the Curse of the Undead!"

"What?! That's impossible! After Amani was killed, the summoning of the undead stopped, and the curse of the undead stopped spreading because the summoning ceased!!" Lu Ming was extremely surprised upon hearing the words of the Dark Elf's female envoy. He had conducted an investigation and found that after Amani was killed for aiding Evanes in her rebellion, the curse of the undead stopped spreading in Miracaissa's lands. In his view, the reason why Yusaha, Mirar, and others became undead was because of Amani and the magicians before Amani's summoning of the undead. Without the summoning of the undead, no one in Puru would be cursed by the curse of the undead.

Now, the situation in Darkea had transformed his thoughts into those of a pet, which he found hard to accept. But soon, Lu Ming recalled his summoning on the battlefield...

At this moment, Darkea's envoy said, "Your Excellency, the fact that your side is no longer summoning the undead does not mean that other races and nations will not summon them!"

"What do you mean? Could it be that the Dark Elves of your Darkea Empire are also summoning the undead?"

The envoy sighed slightly and then said, "Because our internal priests have been interfering in politics, our country has been unable to properly develop its economy and diplomacy for hundreds of years. Although the Kaiya God faith introduced from your country has effectively curbed the ambitions of some priests, it has not completely contained our current situation. Therefore, some of our magicians obtained the method of summoning the undead from some remnants of the Evenes who fled to our country, and began to summon the undead, intending to use them to deal with those ambitious priests. However, we did not expect that the curse of the undead would begin to ravage our land. Moreover, some undead say that the spread of the curse of the undead on our Dark elves is several times faster than the spread on humans! So we really have no other choice but to hope that your country can help us solve this problem."

"What business is it of ours if you bring this upon yourselves? Besides, why don't you just stop summoning the undead and capture those undead Dark elves that have become wandering spirits?" Lu Ming asked angrily, frowning.

"The problem is that it's not just our mages summoning the undead now, the priests are too! Besides, there are just too many Dark elves cursed with the undead, it's unlikely we can capture only those who have become wandering spirits. Because a large part of the army is controlled by the priests, otherwise we wouldn't be summoning the undead."

"..." Lu Ming stared speechlessly at the envoy from Darkea. He'd seen stupid people before, but never anyone this stupid. Who the hell would entrust an army to those deranged priests? It was one thing if they worshipped righteous gods like the God of Light, the God of Beasts, and the God of Nature, but the priests of Darkea worshipped some rather abnormal gods!

After a long silence, Lu Ming sighed and asked, "So what do you want us to do?"

"Actually, it's nothing much. We just hope that Your Excellency and Count Lothric will come to our country and guide us on the correct way to deal with the Undead." Because he felt guilty, the envoy did not dare to meet Lu Ming and Lothric's eyes when he said this, and only dared to look away timidly.

Lu Ming naturally wouldn't agree to this.

Regardless of the dangers, he was a count in the Kingdom of Miracaisa. Leaving aside the question of whether it would be dangerous for him to go there, simply working for them was shameful enough. This was sufficient grounds for Lu Ming to firmly refuse the envoy's request.

But before Lu Ming could refuse outright, Lothric sighed and pointed to the royal family member beside him.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ming heard the royal family member say something that he found hard to believe.

"Her Majesty the Queen wishes Count Lu Ming and Count Lothric to go together to the Darkea Empire to help deal with the undead."

"What!?" Upon hearing this, Lu Ming slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and glared angrily at the royal family member.

"Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent believe that if we don't help Darkea, they might drive the Undead to our side, so they hope you and I can go to Darkea together." Sitting on the sofa, she slowly took a sip of tea and then said to Lu Ming.

“…” After gritting his teeth and pondering for a moment, Lu Ming sighed heavily and asked the envoy, “What will we get in return for helping to resolve the issue of the undead?”

"If your country is willing to help us, we are willing to establish friendly diplomacy with your country, and we are willing to hand-copy all of our country's magic books and give them to Earl Lu Ming and Earl Lothric!"

Upon hearing this, both Lu Ming and Lothric were taken aback. Establishing diplomatic relations is a very common occurrence; Darkea will establish relations with whoever is powerful, so it's practically worthless. They won't hesitate to attack their allies either.

But handwritten copies of magic books are different. These are very valuable and rare!

Even now, it's difficult to buy Dark Elf spellbooks on the black market of the Kingdom of Miracaissa. Lu Ming has been craving Dark Elf spellbooks for a long time. If he can obtain handwritten copies of these Dark Elf spellbooks during his trip to Dark Aifa, then the trip seems worthwhile.

Moreover, even if the Dark Elf tried to pull some trick on the handwritten copy of the magic book they received, the two of them, as magicians, would be able to see through it at a glance. That's why Lu Ming was tempted.

However, even though they were tempted, Lu Ming and Lothric still pretended to be in a difficult position, making the Darkea envoy very worried that the two of them would refuse. Therefore, he kept giving the royal family a meaningful look, asking them to put in a good word for them.

During the few days on their journey to Erebus, the royal family members, who had already been seduced by the envoy of Darkaefa, had no choice but to fall into the trap after seeing the beautiful woman winking at them, even though they knew that Lu Ming and Lothric were deliberately stalling for time to make him take the blame.

"My lords, these are, after all, orders from Her Majesty the Queen and the Regent. You two should carry them out. Furthermore, if anything goes wrong, the royal family will take full responsibility; it will have nothing to do with you. I will explain to the two Grand Dukes. Please rest assured."

Since this member of the royal family had chosen to walk into the trap, Lu Ming and Lothric had no choice but to agree.

However, it would be a grave mistake for the royal family to think they would obediently help Darkea! Given their personalities, they would undoubtedly plant countless spies throughout Darkea to gain complete control over all of Darkea's intelligence! After all, Darkea is a massive empire, just like the Aifa Empire, and poses a significant threat to the Kingdom of Miracaissa!

"Since the royal envoys have said so, then I, Lu Ming, have no choice but to agree." Lu Ming sat down again, giving the royal envoys a look that seemed to say, "You two are having an affair," making them break out in a cold sweat...

-----------------------------------

night.

Lu Ming returned to his Earl's mansion via the teleportation magic station. While having his servants pack his luggage, he was also preparing some things to guard against Darkea going back on her word.

Perhaps having heard some rumors, Chimera suddenly found Lu Ming.

Chimera climbed onto Lu Ming's back, wrapped her arms around his neck, and said with a smile, "I heard you're going to Darkea. I wonder if you could take me with you? You know, as a Darkea elf, I can be your translator!"

Hearing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh. He gently stroked his wife's smooth little hand and said with a smile, "Even if you hadn't said anything, I would have taken you. Although I've learned a little bit of Dark Elf language, it's still not as good as taking you, a Dark Elf, with me!"

Hearing that Lu Ming seemed to be teasing her, Chimera bit angrily and bit Lu Ming's neck. But Lu Ming didn't resist and was still gently stroking his wife's face. This made Chimera quickly release him, hug him, and laugh happily.

But while playing and being affectionate with Lu Ming, a sense of unease crept into Chimera's heart. She was afraid that if Lu Ming found out she was a Dark Elf from Dark Aifa, he would think she was a fraud and stop liking her. Therefore, she preferred to go with Lu Ming rather than let him find out the truth there and start overthinking and doubting her.

If she's there to explain things to him when he knows the truth, then everything is over.

A blank fantasy is the most terrifying thing! The Chimera has learned this all too well...

But she didn't know that Lu Ming already knew she was a Dark Elf from Dark Elf. The reason Lu Ming didn't tell her was simply to prevent her from overthinking.

Lu Ming quite liked his wife, who loved to worry unnecessarily. Rather than let her worry about whether he loved her anymore, it was better to keep it from her. But right now, it wasn't time to let things escalate further. After all, once they got to Darkea, she might start overthinking things again.

Therefore, when the chimera was hugging him and playing intimately with him, Lu Ming suddenly said, "I know that you are the Dark Elf of Dark Elf."

Upon hearing this, the chimera was immediately stunned.

Soon after, the chimera began to cry.

Don't you want me anymore?

Clearly, she was wrong.

"How could I not want my lovely Chimera? Didn't I say I would protect you for the rest of my life? As long as I'm here, no one can hurt you!" Turning around, Lu Ming hugged Chimera tightly, wiped away her tears, and said very gently.

Only then did Chimera feel relieved, her tears turning to laughter, and she wrapped her arms around Lu Ming's neck and kissed him...

-----------------------------------

A few days later, Lu Ming and Chimera, along with Lothric and the envoys of Darkea, arrived in Darkea.

Upon entering the country of the Dark Elves, Lu Ming noticed that the originally sunny sky had suddenly turned into a cloudy and overcast day, as if something had changed the weather in Dark Elf.

"Among the gods worshipped by the Church of Darkea, the Spider Queen and the Poison God are gods who greatly despise the God of Light, so you can't see the sun here in Darkea. The plants are also the kind that don't need much sunlight." Just as Lu Ming was puzzled by the sudden change in the weather, Chimera suddenly smiled and explained it to her.

The envoy was somewhat surprised to hear about Chimera's affairs concerning her country, but upon realizing that she was also a Dark Elf, he understood.

'Perhaps this lady is also a Dark Elf from our country, but married Earl Lu Ming for some reason?'

Sitting in the carriage, Lu Ming quietly gazed at the scenery outside the window. Compared to Mirakaisa, Darkea appeared extremely dark; even at midday, it felt like dusk, so dark it was almost unbearable. As a human who craved light, his first impression of this environment was poor. But he couldn't say anything, so he could only remain silent.

After walking for several hours along a dimly lit path, Lu Ming and his group finally arrived at a fortress on the border of Dark Aifa.

Perhaps because of the Undead Curse, the Dark Elf soldiers in the fortress seemed very tense, and their defenses were directed towards the homeland rather than towards Miracath.

"Are you here to deal with the curse of the undead?" After being led to the reception room by the commander in the fortress, the commander looked at Lu Ming and his group with great distrust.

The envoy from Dark Elf's own country angrily said to the female Dark Elf, "Commander, I want you to understand one thing: they are distinguished guests whom Her Majesty the Queen and the priests sent on my behalf. They are not people that a mere legion commander like you can question!"
