Return Council District", Sylutia will report the report, and then enter a period of time with nothing to do.
"Cheris, is there any place with better scenery here?" Sitting in the Inspection Department's separate office, Sylutia looked out the window at the unchanging environment with a little boredom.
In order to prevent peeping, the windows here usually only open to the side of the inner courtyard. There is only a small square in the inner courtyard, and the scenery remains unchanged.
Cheris, who was standing guard at the side, turned his eyes and looked at the girl.
When they first met, Sylutia tried to keep her voice and temperament calm and strict in order to appear more majestic or convincing. However, this state did not last long because it was too inconsistent with her personality and habits. Later, she gradually returned to a softer voice and temperament.
Fortunately, everyone did not take this kind of thing lightly. Instead, during the execution of the task, they were surprised by this girl's keen insight and efficient investigation speed.
Seeing that she was recognized, Sylutia later completely relaxed and stopped maintaining a cold persona because it was a bit tiring for her.
"Sir Hedra, this area is an urban area and there shouldn't be the natural scenery you are expecting." She briefly thought about it and then replied.
"Is there a high place with fewer people, a good viewing angle, and a quiet place? I want to go and enjoy the wind." The girl sat on a high chair and swayed slightly with her legs.
In fact, if she adjusts the angle of her sitting posture, her toes can reach the ground, but this seems more comfortable, so Sylutia occasionally plays like this, and because there is no support from the soles of her feet, all the weight of her legs is pressed on her thighs, leaving her calves empty, giving her a relaxing and soothing feeling.
When Sylutia was Academy, she rarely spoke in a coquettish and relaxed tone. This was probably because she had to maintain the image of the chief and often faced the teacher. She didn't want to appear frivolous and disrespectful to the teacher, but it was different when working outside.
Inspection Department is an organization with strict superiors and subordinates. Since everyone recognizes the superior, they will not get entangled in such insignificant details, and no one will find it inappropriate to do these actions that do not affect the work at all.
So, after getting over the initial nervousness, I felt more relaxed here at Sylutia than at the Academy. Maybe this is the difference between being in school and working after graduation.
"Council District There are several clock towers that meet the requirements of Lord Hedra. Generally no one goes up there." Cheris replied.
"Let's go and have a look. Anyway, we still have a few days to wait for the results." Sylutia jumped off the chair lightly.
"Actually, you can also take a vacation now. There is no need to keep an eye on me." Cheris and others have to be responsible for Sylutia's security work on weekdays. Otherwise, like other team members, they can take a vacation after completing the mission.
"Master Hedra's safety still comes first." The other party shook his head and did not relax just because he was in Council District.
Seeing that she still insisted on her own opinion, Sylutia stopped trying to persuade her and took the four of them out of the building and area where Inspection Department was located and went for a walk on the street.
Because it is Council District, you can see many Mages here. There are also many shops set up by workshops on the roadside, selling various novelties made by Mages. Occasionally, you can see some tourists from far away.
The creations here are all the work of various workshops. In addition to some treasures for combat and training, there are also some auxiliary supplies that can facilitate life, such as cabinets that can be kept fresh at low temperatures, kettles that can automatically heat, etc. However, these things are expensive and even Knight lords in some countries can hardly afford them. They can only become luxuries in the homes of some rich and nobles.
The afternoon sun was a little warm. Sylutia walked and stopped along the way, curiously visiting these Alchemy creations, and then arrived at the high bell tower that Cheris mentioned.
After reading Xilu's Tia ID, the staff here let her in, and then the girl kept going up the quiet Z-shaped stairs, and finally came to the small platform at the top of the bell tower.
Overlooking the entire Council District scenery from here, Sylutia, who had been exhausted from the previous investigation mission, felt a lot more relaxed.
The classical architectural style here at the Mage Alliance has more complicated structures, giving people a sense of precision and neatness. There are some orange clouds in the distance in the sky, which are the result of the slanting sunlight.
Slowly stretch your arms, Sylutia feel the traces of the wind, and imagine the feeling of flying in the sky at this moment.
Suddenly, she wanted to leave just like that, no longer care about any troubles and pains in the world, and become a free and carefree bird, not thinking about any complicated things.
Is this a side effect of using too much wisdom and thinking?
Cheris held the scabbard and leaned against the pillar in the distance, looking at the girl whose half body was bathed in the light and wind, a more complicated light flowing in her eyes.
A few minutes later, Sylutia, feeling much better, turned around.
"Let's go back."
Afterwards, Sylutia took the four of them back to the serious building of the Inspection Department to spend the next few days.
The results of the report finally came out. Alliance Council did not mention Xilu Tia's summary recommendations, but based on the results of her investigation, the people involved in the entire incident were dealt with.
103 officials were dismissed, 341 relevant personnel were punished, Mage Alliance began to review the roads in the area, and then things gradually calmed down.
For such a result, Sylutia had expected it. It couldn't be said to be unexpected, but she was still a little bit disappointed. However, she also understood that she was a quiet person, and she might not stay here forever, so she stopped speaking.
After the investigation, she was temporarily relieved of her duties, returned to the Academy to continue her studies, and met senior Da Vinci who had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Welcome, Hedra." The other party waved to her from a distance, and then took her for a walk in the Academy.
"How do you feel about working at the Finance Department and Inspection Department in the past six months?"
"It's a bit busy, but it's also fulfilling and I learned a lot." Sylutia replied.
"That's great. When I first came into contact with practical work, I was just dawdling around and just wanted to end it soon, haha." The other party responded with a smile.
"In view of your contribution in the first half of the semester, you don't need to go out to participate in practical activities this semester. You can just stay at the Academy to continue your studies. If you want to go out occasionally, you can also join World of Shadows's adventure, find some resources and things, and practice your skills." He said casually, and then chatted about some interesting things in life, and finally sent Sylutia to his residence before saying goodbye.
After they separated, Da Vinci walked towards the tall tower where Academy lived. Half an hour later, he knocked on the door of Director Academy's office again.
"Come in." The other party had already expected Da Vinci's arrival.
"Yes, mentor."
At this moment, Academy put down the pen in his hand. It seemed that he had just written a lot of things, which was somewhat similar to Sylutia's report.
The two did not start talking immediately. After Da Vinci came in, he found the place where the tea was stored, poured himself a cup of tea, and then spoke slowly.
"I picked up Hedra just now." He said slowly.
"How is she?" Academy asked.
"It seems that the mood is not very high. Maybe the current situation makes the lovely Hedra a little dissatisfied." After finishing speaking, Da Vinci grinned.
"Young people are like this. They have pure and flawless ideals in their hearts, but they find that the reality is ugly and difficult to shake.
"Academy is long, no surprise.
"I have read all the suggestions and ideas she gave. Although they are a bit immature, I cannot say they are useless. They can indeed improve certain situations."
"However, her heart is still too pure and ideal. I am afraid that some current situations are difficult to accept and require a process of slow adaptation and understanding."
"Corruption and cliques for personal gain are behaviors that go deep into the depths of human nature. They are like fingernails that can never be eradicated. They can only be cut off after they appear again and again."
"The biggest motivation for everyone to act is the reward after action, whether it is money, power, reputation, harvest, etc. Most people work for money, and money can buy a comfortable and comfortable life and what they want."
"You have to make people work hard for money, but you also want them not to be too greedy for money and give up some of their desires. This is actually very contradictory. However, there are always morals and laws to restrain some behaviors. Otherwise, completely out-of-control desires will lead to the collapse of the entire system." Academy said the concept calmly.
"Having said that, I am actually very satisfied with Hedra's performance in the past six months. Not only me, but the other two Academy leaders also expressed their approval."
"So, she has been initially recognized." Da Vinci added some sugar to the coffee in the cup and stirred it again.
"Yes." Academy came to the window sill and looked at the other two towers in the distance.
"We can't wait until she Fifth Order before we consider whether she is suitable. We should prepare everything in advance as much as possible."
"That----over there, Your Majesty." Da Vinci asked thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty will not spend his energy on extra things. Only when Hedra steps into Fifth Order will he enter His sight."
"In addition, apart from Hedra, there is actually another one who has already come into my sight, but few people know about her existence."
"Oh, who is that? I mean, am I qualified to know this news?" Da Vinci spoke subconsciously, and then added another sentence.
"Logically speaking, you are not qualified to know, but after all, you are considered my official disciple and will inherit my inheritance from now on, so it doesn't hurt to tell you something." Academy turned his head.
"Have you heard of the legend Child of the Blazing Sun?" He suddenly asked about additional topics.
"I seem to have seen this in a book. It means that children born in Rising Wind Season will be born with children of Blazing Sun and Aspect Power."
"That's right, just as Rising Wind Season will appear as various Aspect Power beasts due to the influence of Blazing Sun and Aspect Power, among intelligent races such as humans, there will also be special lucky ones who are infected with the power of Aspect Power when they are born, and are born with special fates."
"This results in them getting twice the result with half the effort when practicing this Aspect Power, and they accumulate Aspect Power power very quickly, as if they are being favored by Hour."
"And these people are the Blessers who have not been blessed. Although they have not been blessed by Hour, they are born with a high affinity for Aspect Power."
"Not only Child of the Blazing Sun", but also Daughter of the Radiant Moon", Dragon Vein Awakening" and other examples of the same situation occur. These children who are born with Aspect Power are not absolutely lucky."
"If it's a positive Aspect Power, it's fine. If it's a negative Aspect Power, such as Winter Slumber"Dead Ember"Nightmare", etc., It is easy to die at an early age, and not all children who obtain Aspect Power are extremely talented. They may just have an advantage in accumulating Aspect Power, but are slow to learn knowledge, are not smart, etc."
"In a real sense, the probability of a child born with Aspect Power and extremely talented is probably less than one in ten million, but probably one in a hundred million."
"What do you mean these are?" Da Vinci asked curiously.
"I mean, actually our school was lucky enough to find one and protect her very early on, so few outsiders know about her."
"She is born Daughter of the Secret Speech". She can remember everything and every detail she has experienced. She thinks very fast and can master all kinds of knowledge skillfully. She can also get a glimpse of the rhythm through the inherited gems, books and images left by her predecessors."
"Does such a person - really exist?" Da Vinci was a little unbelievable.
"It does exist, and it's easy to make people jealous." Academy sighed with emotion.
"What you have spent nearly ten years researching and exploring, others may figure it out in a few weeks. This kind of blow is not ordinary, especially for many high-level Mage who call themselves geniuses."
"Before Hedra appeared, I thought that he would definitely accept His Majesty's inheritance and become the person behind the Alliance in the future."
"But after Hedra appeared, I very much hoped that he was not the one, and I even hoped that Hedra could replace him and inherit that position."
"Why?"
"Because Hedra at least has a sense of the prosperity of the world and the emotions of warmth and coldness, and knows the complex human nature behind certain decisions. Although she is simple, she is at least kind and compassionate, but that person may not have such unnecessary emotions."
"What kind of existence do you think a person who has never left the tower and obtained all knowledge and cognition from books and images will be? She can probably examine all truths from an absolutely calm and cold perspective and make the best theoretical choices. But are you willing to be a tool and a chess piece in her hands?" Academy suddenly asked this question.
"This--I'm probably going to be very uneasy." Da Vinci thought for a while.
"That's true, but after all, the other party has excellent talents and can indeed inherit everything from His Majesty. When there are no other options, we are not qualified to choose, so we can only accept it."
"But now there is a more desirable choice, so the situation is different." He closed his eyes and thought.
"Then can we change His Majesty's decision?" Da Vinci felt that thinking about this was of little use.
"It can't be done, but it can be done with some effort." Academy opened his eyes with bright eyes.
"Everything can never go as planned, but the truth is discovered and corrected bit by bit in this struggle."
"We will try our best to make Hedra's resume more dazzling. Even if His Majesty knows about my actions, he will not stop me, because for such a being, all these are just trivial matters that do not need to be taken care of."
