Chapter 300: Empire of Magic, the Magic Academy
Ling Jiu came to the Magic Beast Forest was naturally not for a meal, but to look for the Nine-winged Snake.
According to the Nine-headed Snake, the Nine-winged Snake was sealed beneath the Magic Beast Forest.
Uder the Nine-headed Snake’s lead, Ling Jiu quickly found the place where Nine-winged Snake was sealed.
Just like its name, the Nine-winged Snake had nine pairs of golden wings. Its body was golden red, as if made out of reddish gold, looking very powerful and domineering.
As the saying goes, when old friends met, tears are bound to flow, the Nine-headed Snake and the Nine-winged Snake had not seen each other for more than 5,000 years, and old friends were too shallow a descriptor for them.
The two actually hugged each other and cried out loud... leaving Ling Jiu speechless for a while.
After crying for a good while, the two behemoths calmed down a little.
“Kleis, let me introduce him to you!”
The Nine-headed Snake wiped the tears from the corner of its eyes before pointing at Ling Jiu as it said. “This is my current master, it was him who freed me.”
The Nine-winged Snake looked at Ling Jiu directly. Before Ling Jiu spoke, it said. “Hurry up and set me free. I am willing to submit to you. I’ve enough of this forsaken place. As long as I am free, I am willing to do anything.”
“...”
Although, since it was willing to submit, then there was no need to waste words. Ling Jiu enslaved the Nine-winged Snake and then released it.
“HAHAHAHA, I’m finally out!”
“I’m finally out!”
The escaped Nine-winged Snake was like the escaped Sun Wukong as it slammed towards the ground above its head.
“BOOOM—”
The hard ground broke like tofu as a massive gaping hole was blasted out.
The Nine-winged Snake dashed up all the way and finally broke through the surface to the world outside as it then flapped its wings and flew freely in the sky.
It had been down for far too long.
Sun Wukong was only suppressed under Mount Wuzhi for 500 years, and could still see the scenery outside, or eat the occasional peach, getting caught in the rain, taking a bird poo bomb, or the occasional chat with the shepherd boy.
Nine-winged Snake was different. It was sealed underground, and was sealed for a whole 5,000 years. The only thing it could look at was boiling magma, its environment far worse than Sun Wukong’s.
One could imagine how excited it was once it was free!
After venting for a good while did the Nine-winged Snake finally calmed down, and then led Ling Jiu to the Magic Empire with the Nine-headed Snake.
The Nine-tailed Snake was sealed in the Magic Empire.
The Magic Emire was one of the four great empires of Auguland. It had very few soldiers, with almost all of them spellcasters.
Of course, nominally speaking, the so-called magicians are just a group of Arcanists with manipulation-type Arcanas.
After half an hour, the three arrived at Douglas City, the capital of the Magic Empire.
Unlike other empires on Auguland, the supreme ruler of the Magic Empire was not a king or an emperor, but the Douglas Academy of Magic.
As the magic academy founded by Douglas, the God of Magic, the Douglas Academy of Magic is the highest ruling institution of the empire, and the Chancellor was the top ruler of the nation.
At this moment, Douglas College, Chancellor’s office.
The office was full of people. The Chancellor, the Deputy Chancellor and all of the top echelons of the academy were all there. Any one of them was a pillar of the empire.
But at this moment, the atmosphere in the office was rather solemn. No one spoke, no one said anything, some were silent and some were tapping on the table...
The atmosphere was very dour!
“Everyone, silence will not solve this problem.”
After a long while, a gray-haired old man spoke slowly.
“The news coming from the Empire of Light and the Magic Beast Forest had shown that that outlander demon had rescued the Nine-headed Demon and the Nine-winged Demon. Their next goal is very obvious, the Nine-tailed Demon. We need to come up with a countermeasure.”
“Chancellor, we all know his purpose, but what can we do? That guy killed even the God of Light.” A Deputy Chancellor smiled bitterly.
The Chancellor fell silent again.
Yes, the other party had killed even the God of Light. What use was there even if they came up with a plan? In the face of absolute power, everything was in vain.
“Chancellor, can we do nothing like the beasts of the Magic Beast Forest, and allow that outlander demon to rescue the Nine-tailed Demon?”
A young man who had just been promoted to the leadership of the academy mustered up some courage to speak after seeing everyone keeping silent.
As soon as the words came out, the Chancellor and the others smiled bitterly at each other.
“What’s the matter Chancellor, did I misspoke?”
The young man scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
“No, you did not.”
The Chancellor smiled bitterly. “It’s not that we had not thought of this before, but the problem is, for him to take the Nine-tailed Demon away, is impossible.”
“Why is that so, Chancellor?”
The young man frowned hard. “Isn’t the Nine-tailed Demon sealed under the academy? Why won’t it work?”
The Headmaster smiled bitterly. “Because it’s not there anymore!”
“Not there anymore?”
The young man was taken aback.
Knock, knock, knock–
There was a sudden knock on the door.
“Who’s knocking on the door this time, don’t they know we are discussing something important?”
One of the academy leaders murmured dissatisfiedly, and walked to the door to open it, and just as he was about to give the other party a few choice words, unexpectedly, a young man walked in.
Upon seeing this person, the Chancellor and several other academy leaders’ expressions changed drastically as they stood up uncontrollably and looked at the youth with horror.
“Did you just said that the Nine-headed Snake is gone?”
The youth found a free spot to sit down as he frowned and looked at the Chancellor with a doubtful look. “What do you mean?”
“Sir...”
The Chancellor swallowed his saliva and said. “500 years ago, the Nine-headed Snake sealed underground were taken away by the God of Magic.”
“Are you for real?”
The youth frowned. “You should know the price for lying to me.”
“I dare not, no sir!”
The Chancellor said hurriedly. “It was indeed taken away by the God of Magic.”
“Oh I see!”
The youth stood up. “You lot may go on with your business.”
As he said that, he left the office.
DUSHHH!!
The Chancellor sat down on the chair, panting heavily with a frightened expression of one who had just escaped death on his face.
...
“Leoux, have you found where the God of Magic is at?” After leaving Douglas College, Ling Jiu flew to outer space.
The gods of this world all lived in the divine realm, and the so-called divine realms were mostly other planets.
But the specific one needed to be searched slowly, and in order to save trouble, Ling Jiu asked Leoux to start searching long ago.
“Ling Jiu, I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t search for it, but boy was I surprised.”
Leoux sniggered and said. “I found a satellite of Auguland to be very interesting.”
“What do you mean?”
Ling Jiu was surprised.
“Auguland has six satellites, and five of them are very normal, but the Gene Arcana on one, no, rather, the Dark Bio-energy on one of them is very rich.”
Leoux continued. “The Dark Bio-energy concentration on that satellite is almost as good as White Hole 5. Won’t you say it’s pretty magical?”
“You mean to say...”
Ling Jiu’s eyes lit up as he thought of a possibility.
“Your guess may likely be true.”
Leoux laughed and said. “This satellite is like Ganymede in your Solar System. It must be connected to a planet close to a White Hole, so that the Dark Bio-energy can be so rich!”
“Lead the way, we’ll rush over incognito.”
“Understood!”
Under Leoux’s guidance, Ling Jiu quickly came to outer space and then locked onto that star with Dark Bio-energy as he flew towards it.
