"In this way, you may understand the dangers of magic!”
Hemmerdinger shook his big ears and raised his index finger to show his strong confidence. Duke looked at Jess and Victor who were dumbfounded.
The two of them never expected things to turn out this way.
Heimerdinger, the old otaku who had been in Pi City for almost 200 years, was actually planning to return to his hometown, although it was essentially to correct his student's wrong thoughts.
However, he was actually willing to return to his hometown. This was not easy!
"Alright, it's decided!”
"Professor Hemmerdinger, excuse me!”
Duke couldn't help but feel envious and yearned for Bandel City. He interrupted Hemmerdinger and said sincerely,""Can I join you on your trip to Bandel City?”
"You want to go too?"
" Yes, I'm very curious. It's rumored that Bandel City is a magical world independent of the material plane. There are laws and phenomena that are completely different from the material world there. As a scientific researcher, I'm very curious!”
"Oh." Heimerdinger stroked his beard. Under everyone's gaze, he pondered for a moment before looking at the broken runic base and readily agreed."Alright, I agree to your request!”
"If you hadn't discovered the clues first, stopped the runic foundation at the critical moment, and even summoned the Holy Spirit of Wind to protect us, we would have all died here!”
"Then I'll add you in. After all, your magic talent is about to awaken. Going to Bandel City will help your magic awakening, and it won't affect the material world.”
"Professor Hemmerdinger, is it dangerous to awaken mana?”
Orianna could not help but ask. In the past, many people did not even dare to think about the word magic. After all, Pi City was originally built to avoid those crazy mages and arcanists.
"Extremely dangerous!" Hemmerdinger's expression became serious." To become a mage, one must first have magic talent. However, most wild mages have not gone through systematic learning. Even the awakening of magic talent is at a particularly critical moment. There are some cases of unawakened people whose magic power explodes when they awaken, wiping out everything around them.”
"Duke's magic talent is very strong. To be able to have such a sharp perception of magic before awakening, his talent can be said to be the first person I've seen in the past few hundred years!”
"For Pi City and your safety, I think it's necessary to bring him to Bandel City for his awakening. The arcane elements there are denser, and his awakening will be much slower!”
Hemmerdinger voiced his thoughts. Duke looked at Mr. Colin. This nominal boss was still his only binding force on the surface.
"You can go, but don't cause any trouble there!”
"Then the punishment for Jess and Victor will be decided. Go back and pack up. We will leave tomorrow and return at noon!”
"But Professor Hemmerdinger, isn't this punishment too light?”
Councilman Myers raised his own objection. The others didn't say anything, but the meaning in their eyes was the same.
"Councilman Myers, I think you should understand what punishment is!”Hemmerdinger noticed that everyone seemed to be dissatisfied with his decision, so he opened a small class here.
"Punishment is to let the person who made the mistake understand his mistake and prevent it from happening again in the future!”
" But these two young people who dedicated their passion and passion to scientific exploration didn't do anything wrong. They were just a little radical and didn't understand the danger of everything they did.”
"This time, we have imposed a heavier punishment on them. The physical and mental damage caused is likely to backfire!”
"The punishment now might make them behave for a while, but what about in the future?”
Hemmerdinger said to Representative Mayer: "To be honest, I may not be as good as you in managing the council and Pi City, but you are not as good as me in teaching people!”
"Sometimes, when you suppress someone blindly, all you bring is hatred!”
"I've learned my lesson, Professor Hemmerdinger!”Merle's face turned cold. Being reprimanded by Hemmerdinger like a grandson in public really made her lose face.
Even though she was young and was considered a granddaughter of Hemmerdinger, she was now a member of parliament and was on the same level as Hemmerdinger!
"Then let's call it a day!”After speaking loudly, Representative Myers walked towards Duke with a smile on his face."Mr. Duke, regarding your work, we will prepare everything you need as soon as possible!”
"When you return from Bandel City, you can sign the contract. I will do my best to fight for the best conditions for you!”
"Me too!"
Mrs. Guillamane also spoke up at this time. Since Jess and the others had lost their Hextech, they should quickly place their bets on Duke's Clockwork kinetic skeleton.
"In fact, this matter is not urgent!”
Duke raised his hand and raised his Green Bird Talisman." I'm not in a hurry to sign the contract. I want to make an application to the parliament!”
"Is it about a Holy Spirit?"
"That's right. Janna's existence has already been forgotten by many people. Even if she is still protecting us, we can't let her continue to be forgotten!”
"I want to propose to the parliament to build a temple for Janna and regain our faith in Janna!”
"That's easy to say. We'll do our best!”
The other councilmen spoke at this moment.
"That's right. Such a good god has protected us today. In the past, that would be a miracle!”
"That's how it should be!"
"Mr. Duke, you really hit the nail on the head!”
........
" I've been nice to you, haven't I?" Duke asked.”
"This is what you should do!"
Janna snorted in annoyance. At the same time, a green bird appeared in the void and circled around everyone. A green breeze surrounded the hall. Everyone felt that the fear in their hearts had been lifted at this moment, and the damage caused by the mana fluctuations on their bodies had also disappeared.
"Then what is the doctrine?"
Councilman Myers had already decided to bring Ducra onto his ship, so he took Duke's every suggestion very seriously. Who wouldn't want to invest in such a promising young man?
Duke's eyes flickered. Janna noticed the change in his eyes and immediately felt that something was wrong. Before she could say anything, Duke said,"Anyway, it doesn't cost money.”
Everyone's expression froze, but then a kind laughter echoed in the venue.
.............
The next morning.
Duke had two big dark circles under his eyes as he rushed to the academy after being pecked by the green bird that Janna had transformed into. Ever since he said the doctrine of " it doesn't cost money anyway, believe in it more or less." Janna had been chasing and beating him for the whole day, and even now, she still hadn't cooled down.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting. I'm just helping you absorb faith better, right?”
"But that kind of doctrine is too casual!”
"It's to show your characteristics of being close to the people!"
"Nonsense!"
"No, I really didn't!"
Duke arrived at the entrance of the academy. Looking at the magnificent gate, he said to the green bird,""I'm going to meet up with Heimerdinger. I'll probably be back at noon. You go back to Zuan first and take care of Explode and Vi!”
"You don't have to tell me, I know what to do!”
After Janna snorted, she turned into a green bird and pecked Duke heavily. Then, she flew up with the wind and quickly left the academy's gate.
"Petty Broomhead!"
Rubbing the top of his head, Duke walked into the academy. The academy's gate faced the academy's square. The square was paved with white marble tiles, and students in academy uniforms could be seen everywhere.
Victor had been waiting for Duke in the square. When he saw Duke, he quickly went up to him.
"Good morning, Duke!"
"Good morning, Victor!" Duke and Victor walked into the academy together and headed towards Hemmerdinger's laboratory. On the way, Victor looked at Duke and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say.
"You want to ask about the exoskeleton?"
Duke, who had sensed Victor's thoughts, smiled and patted Victor's shoulder." When we come back from Bandel City, I'll make a special exoskeleton for you so that you can be like a normal person!”
"Thank you for your kindness, but I want to ask something else!”
"What do you want to ask?"
"What do you think will happen if technology is integrated with humans?”
Hearing Victor's words, Duke frowned and looked at Victor.""Your idea is very dangerous, but it's also very groundbreaking!”
"But I have to warn you, Victor!”
"Please speak!"
"Humans are humans because we have flesh and blood. If we blindly embrace machinery and technology, will you still be you?”
That sentence left Victor speechless. Seeing that Victor was deep in thought, Duke patted his shoulder again."Alright, don't be so stubborn. Let's go quickly!”
"A trip to Bandel City, it will be a wonderful feeling!”
"Yes, yes."
Victor was pushed away by Duke, but he couldn't get rid of the thought in his heart. All the fear came from the unknown. If he used machinery to fuse with the human body, would he be able to get rid of the bad habits of humans?
For example…
Fear!
.......
In Hemmerdinger's laboratory.
Hemmerdinger was stepping on a ladder and drawing a door on a wall. The door had already been roughly drawn, and Hemmerdinger was adding details.
Jess was sitting on a stool at the side. His beard was unshaven and his eyes were filled with decadence.
"Oh, you're here, Duke!"
Heimerdinger, who noticed Duke's arrival, threw the chalk down. His pet, Polo, chased after the chalk that was thrown out. This magical creature looked especially cute, and it would slowly show the same characteristics according to its owner's characteristics.
"Is this the portal to Bandel City?”
"Yes, I haven't used it for many years. I don't know if it will go wrong!”
Hemmerdinger took out a small glass rod from his clothes." Then, gentlemen, let's get ready to set off!”
"I'd be happy to!"
Duke looked at the prototype of the portal in anticipation. Victor came to Jess and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him.
Hemmerdinger, who was speaking in an obscure and unpleasant language, pointed the glass rod in his hand at the door on the wall.
At the spot where the glass rod touched, the pattern of water ripples appeared. The water ripples slowly spread to the front door. Ripples instantly appeared on the door painted on the wall, turning from a two-dimensional plane into a three-dimensional one!
"Looks like I'm not old and muddle-headed yet!”
Looking at the portal that appeared, Hemmerdinger nodded in satisfaction.
"I want to close the door, so I'll be the last to enter. Jess, you'll be the first!”
"Yes, Professor!"
Jess walked into the portal dejectedly, followed by Duke, Victor, and finally Hemmerdinger.
Heimerdinger walked into the door and stretched out his arm again. He held the glass rod and pointed at the door. His arm quickly retracted, and the door turned from a three-dimensional space to a two-dimensional space again.
