Chapter 251: The Swarm and the Woman
Chapter 251: The Swarm and the Woman
Time passed, and more than ten days had passed since the new dean took office.
Ivan has initially dealt with the trivial matters under his command, mainly adjusting the positions of the two departments. In order to further control the patrol team, he specially transferred his mentor Randall to be the deacon.
Randall has never been keen on enchantment, and has no objection to joining the patrol team as a deacon.
On the enchantment group side, there was no second-level wizard in Lydia's family. After recognizing the reality, Doris took the initiative to resign from the position of vice-president, and Madeline and others also expressed their submission to him.
He did not take things too far and still let Madeline serve as deacon.
However, he promoted Gina to the position of deacon of the enchantment group. He was just a nepotist and he had the final say anyway.
Ivan also confessed something to Lydia's family, borrowing the information from Lydia's family to keep an eye on someone for him. He had never forgotten the bounty offered on the black market.
Lydia's family regarded this matter as a test for the new dean and dared not not try their best.
Apart from this, Ivan did not make any other changes. In fact, as long as he, a second-level wizard, was still there, the enchantment team and the patrol team would not be able to cause any trouble.
"How is your mother?"
In the silkworm house, Ivan came to visit the Silkworm Queen. Since receiving the remaining rebirth power that day, the Silkworm Queen, who was already at the peak of the second-level creature, has unsurprisingly entered a new round of transformation.
Today, the queen silkworm has turned into a light cocoon the size of a head, floating in a corner of the silkworm room.
"very good."
"Nothing special happened."
The wind moths and scent butterflies have been staying in the silkworm house, watching for the movements of their mother, the queen silkworm. So far, the queen silkworm's metamorphosis has been very quiet, as if it were hibernating.
"No movement is a good thing." Ivan checked and found nothing wrong.
"Wizard Ivan." When he turned to leave, Feng Moth called him hesitantly: "Well, do you think when Xiangdie and I can transform? We are still only level one creatures."
"Wind Moth, don't talk nonsense." Xiangdie was frightened by its words. Her mother had strictly forbade her to ask for anything from Wizard Ivan in private.
Feng Moth's words were obviously somewhat offensive. Why doesn't this guy learn his lesson?
In fact, the wind moth was not unaware of this, but as its strength grew weaker and weaker, it became less and less useful, and it became anxious.
"It's good to be enterprising." Ivan didn't care much about this kind of thing, and couldn't help asking: "How is your research progress on insect breathing?"
"Uh--" Feng Moth was speechless and turned to look at Xiangdie.
"Sorry to disappoint you." Xiangdie felt a little embarrassed.
Compared to Feng Moth, Xiang Die's learning ability is okay. He can study some simple spells, but he is stretched when it comes to difficult problems.
The situation is similar for the queen silkworms.
Ivan shook his head slightly. It seemed that asking insects to do research was indeed a difficult task for them. He had to do it himself.
Fortunately, after practicing his 'Black Beard Melody' to the third level, he had a higher affinity with insects and a significant improvement in his control over insects, which provided greater convenience for studying the 'Insect Breathing Method'.
After comforting the two insects with a few words, Ivan came to the enchantment workshop on the second floor.
Before he started working, he suddenly noticed some unusual movements somewhere else.
His mind moved, and two or three seconds later, a crystal ball slowly floated in. After being activated, a pretty figure flashed in the crystal ball.
"Ivan, you didn't even tell me that you became a second-level wizard. If I hadn't heard the news and the name and the academy were exactly the same, I would have thought it was someone else. Congratulations, my dear Dean Marichatton!" Perney was as always like an elf princess who walked out of a scroll, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in the princess' tone.
"I plan to go to Belu Town and tell you in person after I'm done with this." Ivan said with a smile.
"Okay." Pernimei looked at him steadily, the love in her eyes almost overflowing: "Dear Ivan, you may not know that when I heard the news that you became a second-level wizard, I couldn't believe my ears. You are really good at giving people surprises."
"There just happened to be a suitable opportunity, and I quietly completed the promotion while others were still not able to react."
"I see, you are really awesome."
“——”
Ivan and Pernie chatted idly, and to be honest, he was a little uncomfortable with Pernie's clingy behavior.
Last time in Belu Town, after helping Pernie become an official wizard, she started to show signs of being clingy, and it was even more obvious today.
"Hey, where did this apprentice come from? Don't you know that eavesdropping on conversations between wizards is very rude?" When Pernie noticed a voice coming in, her tone suddenly changed.
From sweet to weird.
"Hmph! I am Mrs. Marichatton, I won't bother with a mistress from another school like you." Jiushi knew that she was not as strong as the other person, and if she said too much she would lose her momentum, so she just retorted and turned away.
"Ivan, look at her, she--" The word 'mistress' made Perney very angry, because she was an official wizard.
"Alright, it was you who provoked Jiushi first, now you're even now." Ivan waved his hand. As a second-level wizard, he would not go to great lengths to coax others.
"She just relies on living with you. Otherwise, I'll let her know what the power of a wizard is." Penny muttered softly, but didn't continue to make a fuss.
In this world, even the nobles have many women, not to mention wizards of higher status. Both Perna and Justie come from noble families and are used to this.
After Pernie's voice disappeared from the secret crystal ball, Jushiti came to the enchantment workshop again, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, which made people feel pity for her.
"Relax, you will become an official wizard soon." Ivan had no idea what she wanted to say.
"Really?" Jiushiti's eyes lit up.
"How can what I said be false?"
"Yeah, I knew you would do what you promised." Jiusiti nodded, her body trembling. "Ivan, let me tell you, a lot of people have been trying to curry favor with me recently. I can see that - and there's also Meili from the patrol team."
"Normal. You are the real Mrs. Marichatton."
Speaking of the patrol team, Ivan thought of an apprentice, Cody, who had previously come to him to buy a Black Magic Wind Beam Array. That was Cody's second attempt to be promoted to a wizard, but unfortunately he failed.
He just happened to have some ideas and needed an apprentice who had failed in promotion to verify the feasibility of a plan, preferably someone with little potential for promotion. Cody was obviously more suitable than Minn, who had just failed in promotion.
Back then, when Ivan himself was promoted to an official wizard, he designed a guaranteed promotion plan based on the Black Magic Wind Array. He directly used the spiritual energy converted by the array as spiritual power to construct and solidify witchcraft.
As a result, he was promoted smoothly and the bottom-line plan was of no use.
He promised Jiushi to be promoted to a formal wizard, in fact, he wanted to use this backup plan.
For Jiushi's safety, Ivan needs someone to verify it first to make sure everything is foolproof.
For Cody, this is also an opportunity, a great opportunity to be promoted to an official wizard.
