Chapter 110. Dekan Visits the Academy and Will Attend an Event

Today, Tristine City was like it was celebrating a festival.

Before ten in the morning, all the magic equipment in the city, which was usually not activated unless it was a festival, was already running.

Making Tristine City look like a dream.

Many magic screens were repeatedly playing the promotional content of "Celebration Project, Officially Launching at 12:00 PM on December 25th!".

Although there were still a few days until the New Year, Tristine City now looked exceptionally prosperous and dazzling.

The people were naturally happy.

The long-awaited New Year atmosphere had now arrived early.

Wasn't that wonderful?

The entire city was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

They were very much looking forward to what kind of surprising project would be announced at twelve o'clock.

It was said that it would be personally hosted by the lord, Viscount Lampard.

At that time, there would also be a mysterious guest participating.

The people, immersed in the festive atmosphere, had no idea what kind of change Tristine City was about to face.

And they did not know what kind of undercurrents were surging in this city.

…

On the second floor of a mansion.

Several people were gathered.

Their expressions were mostly solemn, seemingly a little dazed by Tristine City's sudden joyous atmosphere.

“Why is there a sudden celebration?”

A middle-aged man scratched his head.

They were the ones preparing to cause trouble in Tristine City.

Now there was a strange feeling—was it the lord's side that was going to cause trouble?

“Could it be that the lord’s side interrogated some information?”

“Unlikely, even if they use extreme torture for interrogation, the two guys who were caught wouldn't dare to confess so quickly.”

Traitors of the Resurrection Church, even if they hid in prison, could not escape the retaliation of the Resurrection Church.

A major tenet of the church was to punish traitors at all costs.

And those three guys who were sent to kidnap Dekan had no idea about the contents of the action plan.

“Let’s prepare for the worst. Lady Isabel may issue an order to act ahead of schedule at any time.”

Isabel was the name of the leader of the meeting at the temple earlier.

And she was the trusted subordinate sent by the Cardinal.

Originally, their plan was not supposed to officially start for another day.

After all, the Ice Snow Princess was in the open, and they were in the dark.

Making sufficient preparations without delaying was beneficial to them.

Now it seemed that if the lord's actions were not a coincidence, they might need to act ahead of schedule.

Since it was currently unclear what the lord was up to, Isabel probably wouldn't dare to rashly disrupt the rhythm of the plan and start early.

After all, the lord's mysterious operation didn't look like he was guarding against something.

Most importantly, the intelligence personnel on the Royal Capital's side had not sent any warning messages.

This meant that the lord had not asked the Royal Capital for help.

It was very likely just a simple event project.

After all, a press conference-style project was not enough to interfere with their actions.

Moreover, today happened to be the day that Dekan and the Ice Snow Princess had scheduled for the Special-Grade examination.

In Isabel’s instructions, she hoped to avoid Dekan, this uncertain factor, as much as possible during the operation.

So even if they had to act ahead of schedule, Isabel would probably give instructions after the meeting between Dekan and the Ice Snow Princess ended.

That would also be close to the time of the press conference.

It would be a good opportunity to see what kind of project the lord would announce.

Then decide whether to act ahead of schedule.

…

Tristine Magic Academy.

Due to the Ice Snow Princess’s precious time, Dekan was only given one hour.

Their appointment was to start at eleven o'clock and end before twelve o'clock.

Dekan left the lord's mansion early in the morning, riding in the carriage sent by the lord, and arrived at the Tristine Magic Academy under the escort of a team of knights.

Dekan was not wearing the Heavenlit Academy uniform today.

Instead, he was wearing a black formal suit configured for him by the lord, with a heavy cloak that exuded a sense of solemnity over his shoulders, and his hair was combed particularly exquisitely.

Dekan was also very busy today.

After all, after completing the Special-Grade examination, he still needed to attend the celebration press conference hosted by Lord Lampard.

At that time, he would pull a stunt on the Resurrection Church.

At this moment, many students were gathered at the entrance of the Tristine Magic Academy.

They watched as the lord's personal guards respectfully opened the carriage door, and Dekan stepped out of the carriage with a calm expression.

That solemn and dignified appearance was like some great dignitary from somewhere.

Many students of Tristine Academy were stunned.

They had heard that among the students from the Royal Capital's Heavenlit Academy this year, there would be a legendary prospective Special-Grade Card Maker.

But unfortunately, the legendary Dekan with gray hair and blue eyes was not seen in the visiting student team from Heavenlit Academy yesterday.

According to rumors, Dekan was arrested for speeding.

However, this absurd rumor was disproven today.

When the students saw this handsome young man who stepped out of the carriage with the air of a big shot, they instantly understood.

This legendary prospective Special--Grade Card Maker, Dekan, was not arrested, but was invited to the lord's mansion as a guest of honor.

“Is a person like him really like the rumors say, only making underworld cards?”

“I have friends at Heavenlit Academy, they said Dekan’s nickname right after he enrolled was ‘Evil Cult Priest’…”

“But he clearly looks so noble and sunny…”

The more the students thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong.

The more 'mortal world' this guy looked, the more 'underworld' he seemed when combined with his various deeds!

However, putting aside Dekan's card-making and style of doing things, and only considering his level as a Card Maker, the students of this academy had very complicated feelings towards Dekan.

It was hard to say whether it was more admiration or jealousy.

After all, as a Card Maker student at Tristine Magic Academy, the biggest goal was undoubtedly to become a Special-Grade Card Maker.

However, for the vast majority of people, this was an achievement that was impossible to reach in a lifetime.

But, right now, there was a peer of theirs who was about to succeed.

The students who had always looked up to the Ice Snow Princess as a star in the sky, now looked at Dekan as if they were looking up at another new star.

They even had an illusion—that this star did not seem so far away from them.

But in fact, it was completely unreachable.

"Student Dekan, we will take you to see Lord Ice Snow Princess."

The teachers in charge of Tristine Academy and the officials of the Card Makers' Association branch had been waiting at the entrance early on.

They quickly flocked around Dekan.

"Mm, thank you."

Dekan did not exchange many pleasantries and followed them into the academy.

Although it was not Dekan's intention.

But his current appearance particularly highlighted his big shot aura.

There were also many teachers from the academy politely leading the way and following him.

He really looked like a leader on an inspection tour.
