Chapter 107: Phils’ Secret Joy p1
“Boom!”
A violent explosion sounded from the royal city, the raging flames engulfing the entire small building.
The people guarding Dean Edlin retreated one after another, fearing being caught in the blaze. This was no ordinary fire; within the surging flames, there were clear magical fluctuations. Those with slightly stronger abilities could sense that it was seventh-rank magic.
“What are you standing around for? Put out the fire! What if Dean Edlin gets burned to death?”
A shout from the crowd brought everyone back to their senses. Immediately, countless water spells were thrown towards the burning building.
“Whoosh!”
About two minutes later, a small girl, her entire body enveloped in a magic shield, rushed out of the blaze.
Those who had seen her knew that this little girl was Dean Edlin.
“Dean Edlin has escaped! Catch her!”
Following the commander’s shout, everyone immediately stopped their magic and turned to attack Edlin.
But their reaction was still a bit slow. Taking advantage of the gap in their encirclement, Edlin quickly tore off several high-level scrolls and forcefully charged out.
After escaping the academy, Edlin took advantage of the city gates being still open and fled towards the west.
“I’m not staying here to die! That foolish student Kailun actually provoked the Temple of the Heavenly God. If they send a ninth-rank to retaliate, wouldn’t my identity as the former Saint be exposed?”
Edlin cursed Kailun’s stupidity as she fled.
In her opinion, Kailun’s actions were simply courting death. How could anyone directly confront the Temple of the Heavenly God and not suffer retaliation?
She remembered that half a month ago, Princess Hilna was still spending money to bribe her, asking her to make arrangements for her people to be placed in the academy.
Edlin refused at first, but the princess offered too much. It wasn’t until later that she learned that the princess wanted to attack Kailun.
Originally, she planned to tell Kailun in her capacity as the dean, but the princess gave her too much hush money.
Helpless, she could only pretend not to know, after all, her research needed a lot of money.
Patience, she needed a lot of patience.
Edlin wanted to take revenge on the Temple of the Heavenly God, but she needed to be patient for a long time.
However, her plan was almost mature. In her plan, she needed to find someone suitable to become the Saint.
Then, she would reason with her and move her with emotion, making her stand on her side.
She would teach her researched magic to this Saint who would be her inside agent, watch her grow slowly, until the day the Pope wanted to seize the Saint’s magic power.
Edlin speculated that although the Pope had already reached the ninth-rank, she was still far from her limit. Therefore, the Pope still needed a lot of Saints as sacrifices to devour.
And the magic she researched could reverse the process of devouring, allowing the Saint to devour the Pope’s magic power instead.
As for the candidate, she had already found one. Little Princess Vivian was her target.
However, the little princess had a special status, and under normal circumstances, it was difficult for her to get in touch with her.
When Princess Hilna sent Vivian to the academy, she thought her opportunity had come.
But she didn’t expect that Kailun and Vivian skipped class after only a few days of school, and then came the shocking reversal that shook the entire country.
All of this happened too fast, so fast that she didn’t even have time to react before it was over.
Just as she was about to run away, that hateful Phils actually surrounded her house.
“Damn Kailun, damn Phils, just you wait, I will be back. When my magic is perfected, none of you can escape, I will make you copy the magic book ten thousand times!”
Edlin made a wish and rushed out of the city gate, running all the way.
……
“The dean ran away?”
“And just now?”
Kailun, who was about to arrive at the royal city, received a message from Phils. She said that Dean Edlin of the Royal Magic Academy had escaped by causing an explosion.
Kailun looked up at the royal city in the distance. There was indeed a firelight rising in the city, obviously from an explosion.
However, the firelight disappeared quickly, it seemed that the fire had been controlled.
Kailun barely paid attention to this dean. In his memory, she always locked herself in her office, researching something, and rarely came out to see people.
She was very greedy for money, to exaggerate, as long as she was given enough money, she would do anything.
Logically speaking, since she indulged the princess in capturing him at the academy, he should make this dean suffer the same punishment as the princess.
But after he got busy, he forgot about this small fry.
In his impression, this dean looked like a loli who was a little older than the little princess, she always wore a white robe, even her hair was messy.
She usually wore glasses with only frames and no lenses, giving people the illusion of a research fanatic.
Except for occasional encounters, everyone could usually only see her at the annual tuition collection scene, so the dean’s presence was very low.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this low presence that Kailun gradually forgot about her.
“Whatever, let her run if she wants to run, she’s not an important person anyway. I feel like there’s no point in bullying Dean Edlin with her personality.”
Sighing softly, Kailun lay down on the roof of the mobile palace. Afra was dozing off while holding his hand.
In a while, they would be back at the familiar manor.
“Master, the vanguard caught a sneaky little girl. She resisted fiercely and even injured our people. How should we deal with her?”
However, not long after he lay down, Little Knight Eve, who was in charge of the vanguard, came to the side of the mobile palace and walked alongside it.
Kailun: “…”
Perhaps it was fate, he felt that some fool had delivered herself to his doorstep.
“Treat the injured well, then bring the prisoner here and let me deal with her personally.”
After making simple arrangements, Kailun gently picked up Afra and carefully jumped off the mobile palace. He carried Afra into his room.
Luckily, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Princess Hilna changing clothes by the bathroom door, it was a feast for the eyes.
After all, only Kailun’s room had a bathroom, the princess had to go to Kailun’s room if she wanted to take a bath.
Perhaps because they already knew each other well, Hilna just sped up her dressing after being seen by Kailun.
When she pulled her stockings up halfway, Kailun, who had settled Afra, came to her side.
“My people just caught a prisoner, she might be someone you know, so I’ll take you to see her.”
Kailun bent down slightly and took the initiative to pull up the last part of Hilna’s stockings for her.
“Snap!”
As he let go of the stockings in his hand, the high-quality black silk snapped back onto Hilna’s thigh, making a pleasant sound.
“Nice sound, remember to wear them tonight when you sleep.”
Kailun stood up with satisfaction, put his arm around Hilna’s waist, and led her out. When they arrived in the living room, Eve happened to be escorting a little girl into the mobile palace.
“Modlin?”
The first person to call out the girl’s name was not Hilna, but Saint Chrissy, who was playing chess with the little princess.
“Chrissy!?” The little girl was startled when she saw Chrissy, a look of terror flashed in her eyes.
“You know each other?”
Kailun looked at Chrissy and the little girl in surprise. If he remembered correctly, shouldn’t the dean be called Edlin?
The little girl was attracted by Kailun’s voice, she looked at Kailun and said, “I thought you were a real man who dared to go against the Temple of the Heavenly God, but I didn’t expect you to be their pawn too.”
Kailun: “???”
He felt that this little dean misunderstood him.
“Modlin, you misunderstood, Kailun is my master, he not only dared to go against the Temple of the Heavenly God, but also defeated them head-on. As you can see, I am just his prisoner now.”
She said she was a prisoner, but when she saw Kailun coming out, she quickly threw down the chess pieces in her hand, pounced on him, pushed the princess aside, and got into Kailun’s arms.
Hilna bit her lip, although she didn’t complain, her eyes clearly said to Chrissy, “You better have something important to say.”
Edlin explained again: “I told you, my name is not Modlin, my name is Edlin!”
“Okay, Modlin, I know, Modlin.”
After taking a deep sniff in Kailun’s arms with satisfaction, Chrissy turned her gaze to Edlin.
“Bastard, there’s really not a single good person in the Temple of the Heavenly God.”
The little girl glared at Chrissy fiercely. If it weren’t for Eve holding her back, she might have already rushed up to bite her.
“As you can see, this guy who calls herself Edlin is the previous Saint. It was she who gave me half of her magic power, allowing me to reach the seventh rank. Of course, it was also her who was wanted and hunted down later. Don’t be fooled by her current appearance as a little girl, she actually masters a special kind of magic that can make her body bigger or smaller. If I hadn’t seen her in this form before, I would have been fooled too.”
After licking Kailun’s neck, Chrissy explained everything to him.
Hearing Chrissy’s narration, Kailun suddenly became a little interested in Edlin.
He had never heard of magic that could make one’s body bigger or smaller.
He didn’t expect that Dean Edlin was the previous Saint, and what was even more unexpected was that she was actually hiding in the Kingdom of Xiya.
Originally, he didn’t have much interest in Edlin, but now he was completely interested.
“The dean of the Royal Magic Academy, a wanted Saint, and a profiteer who colluded with the princess to cheat me.”
Kailun walked up to Edlin with Chrissy, lifted her chin with his hand, and said, “Not only that, you also blew up my house and injured my people. Tell me, how should I punish you?”
“I’ll bite you!”
Edlin didn’t endure Kailun touching her chin, she turned her head and bit Kailun’s finger directly.
No one had ever dared to touch her body, not even Kailun!
But her speed was far inferior to Kailun’s, after several attempts, she didn’t succeed.
“You have quite a temper. If you really bit me, it would be because I let you.”
Kailun squatted down in front of Edlin, pulled her little face with both hands, and said, “But I’m always reasonable, as long as you pay enough compensation, it’s fine. I don’t care about your grudge with the Temple of the Heavenly God, but we have to properly calculate the matter of you blowing up my house. To make it simple, I’ll charge you eight thousand gold coins, round it up to ten thousand gold coins. You injured my people just now, you have to pay for that, right? Medical expenses, nutrition expenses, mental distress, you have to pay at least eighteen thousand gold coins, right? And my mental distress also has to be counted, and you also affected my reputation…”
Edlin stared at Kailun in disbelief as he calculated the losses, the more she listened, the more frightened she became.
If there was a skin-flaying monster in this world, it must be called Kailun.
Kailun looked at Edlin with a smile: “To sum up, you owe me a total of one hundred thousand gold coins. If you can’t pay it back in the short term, we can sign a contract, so that it will be easier to calculate the interest later.”
“Wrong, that’s completely wrong, I blew up my own house, it has nothing to do with you.” Edlin quickly retorted after hearing Kailun’s calculation.
Kailun: “Okay, deducting the money for you blowing up your house, you still owe me one hundred and ten thousand gold coins, that’s correct, right?”
“…”
Edlin was silent, she had encountered a mathematical genius.
[Because you intend to take Edlin’s money, she sees it as a blood feud. Favorability -80, Total favorability -80]
To be honest, this was the first time Kailun had seen such a large drop in favorability.
He felt that if he took all of Edlin’s money, her favorability might directly hit rock bottom.
“Don’t be so angry, is money really that important? It’s not important at all, we should talk more about life, more about ideals, such as how to overthrow the Temple of the Heavenly God.”
Kailun pinched Edlin’s little face again, it felt good, even compared to Vivian, it was not inferior at all.
“No, you might as well just kill me, I don’t have any money at all, and I don’t want to talk to you about any life ideals.”
Edlin looked at Kailun, the big devil, with a dejected expression.
Her current appearance was already dejected, coupled with her mental breakdown, she looked even more desolate. To describe it in one word: “downcast”.
Taking her money was more painful than taking her life. For her, without money, not only could she not buy food and drinks, but she couldn’t even research magic.
She hated the days of wandering, hated the Temple of the Heavenly God that made her homeless.
If Kailun really wanted to take her money, she would also hate Kailun.
Seeing Edlin’s unyielding attitude, Kailun said again: “How about this, you work for me and I’ll give you a salary. I guarantee that I’ll give you a very high salary, so that you can pay back the money you owe me one day.”
Edlin said with a bitter face: “That was originally my money, I don’t owe you anything.”
Kailun: “Aren’t you going to ask how many gold coins I’ll give you?”
“How much?” Edlin asked subconsciously.
Kailun held up a finger in front of Edlin: “Ten thousand gold coins, a month.”
Edlin swallowed: “Ten thousand… am I worth that much? Will you really give it to me? How can I trust you?”
It wasn’t that she had no principles, but the salary Kailun offered was too high.
Even though she was already a seventh-rank, this salary completely exceeded her expectations.
As long as Kailun didn’t lie to her, then she would be able to pay off her debts within a year and make a huge profit.
But what was the price?
Edlin asked herself in her heart first.
Looking at Edlin, who was already tempted, Chrissy covered her face helplessly.
So embarrassing, as a fellow Saint, she felt embarrassed for Edlin.
She didn’t expect that her once proud senior had become like this.
“I know in my heart whether you’re worth it or not. If you don’t believe me, we can sign a contract, a soul contract, so you don’t have to worry about me cheating, right?”
Kailun winked at Eve, signaling her to let go of Edlin.
Edlin in front of him was a little over 1.5 meters tall, the silver-rimmed glasses made her look a little ordinary, her long golden hair cascaded down her back, reaching her ankles.
Her golden hair was messy, stained with some dust, there were dark circles around her eyes, she didn’t know how many months she hadn’t slept.
He didn’t know if it was because of the glasses, but her appearance didn’t give Kailun a stunning feeling, he always felt that it didn’t quite match the title of Saint.
Further down was her perky chest, even compared to Chrissy’s, it wasn’t much different.
It was hard to imagine such a magnificent chest appearing on a little girl. It looked very uncoordinated, but it gave people a magical attraction.
His gaze involuntarily moved down, firmly attracted.
As a noble, Kailun thought of a term, what was it called? Baby face something.
Because he was too pure, he couldn’t remember clearly.
“What do you want me to o?”
Edlin lowered her head and looked at Kailun, who was squatting in front of her, and asked.
