Chapter 511: The Royal Magic Association

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Everybody was at Becky's new house that night. To celebrate her dreams coming true, Becky held a grand banquet (actually, she just wanted to enjoy being rich). Hao Ren and the rest of them enjoyed wine and delicacies from Holletta. They had fun until it was almost midnight before they finally went to bed, leaving a mess behind. The next morning, Hao Ren was awakened by Lil Pea's tail as usual. The little mermaid jumped happily on his chest and said, "Dad! Dad! There's guests waiting outside! Guests!"

Hao Ren grabbed Lil Pea and dropped the little kid in the water bowl next to him to let her swim. As he sat up on the big, soft bed, his body bounced up from the springy bed. He paused for a moment before he realized that he was in Becky's house. He tidied up, turned his head and looked out the window. He saw a group of people in the front yard, and he recognized several of them: Marshal Ophra, Cardinal Orben, and several of the archbishops and ministers, whom he saw during the secret meetings two days ago. The rest of them were guards.

The butler was receiving the honored guests and a servant raced to the main house to inform Becky.

Hao Ren put on his jacket, ready to go out, but found something wrong with his jacket. "Huh… Where are the buttons?"

Hao Ren heard some noises coming from the basin. He turned and found Lil curling up in the water, pretending to sleep. However, her quick-moving tail told him that she had to be guilty. The little kid could not lie at all. He took Lil Pea out of the water and found that there were a few broken buttons lying quietly on the spot where she was sleeping.

"I thought it was edible," Lil Pea said as she swished her tail, "but it's not delicious."

"Of course! This is plastic! Although it looks like wood, it's plastic!" Hao Ren stared angrily at his growing daughter. "I know you're growing up, but if you're hungry, can you eat something normal? You can always wake me up or wake that piece of brick up!"

The MDT immediately hit Hao Ren on the back of his head. "What do you mean? You said I was a coaster yesterday! Come on, let's fight!"

Hao Ren was speechless.

When Hao Ren reached the living room, everybody was already there. The guests were chatting with Vivian, but Hao Ren could not find Becky. He then went up to Wuyue and asked, "Where's the new rich girl?"

"She's still sleeping," Nangong Wuyue said and stretched her body and showed her perfect waist. If it were not for her petite figure, she could be a supermodel. "What're you doing upstairs? I heard you yelling," she asked.

"I was educating a fish and then fighting with my PDA. The good news is that I won, and the bad news is that I feel fxxking empty after I won," Hao Ren said and covered his forehead, "Can you understand my daily life without subtitles and narration?"

"Well, I can imagine."

And now, Becky finally appeared at the staircase and kept yawning. It looked like she was dragged out of bed by the housekeeper. She looked at the bunch of honored guests, tried to keep awake and said, "Good morning everyone. Welcome…"

Then she missed her footing and fell down the stairs. She finally stopped at Nangong Sanba's foot, got up and continued, "… Welcome to my house. Ouch, I think I finally wake up."

Those at the door looked at the legendary mercenary and new aristocrat with a scary look. Most of them had the same thing in their mind: there was such a person among the heroes who saved the kingdom, and she was also the recommended one. It was a disaster. Unfortunately, apart from Becky, there was no one else they could recommend: there were five local heroes in the foreign team, and the other four were said to catching wild rabbits in another world. And the ascetics were never the right person to recommend, so Becky was the only choice…

"What happened to you?" Hao Ren muttered while helped Becky up, "Didn't sleep last night?"

"Too excited to sleep," Becky said and stuck out her tongue and then smiled, "Now you're staying in my house. I suddenly feel balanced inside… You should come often, don't be shy, His Majesty is very rich."

Ophra was walking here. She hurriedly coughed to remind Becky when she heard it. "We have a marshal, two vice ministers and four cabinet ministers here. Let's talk about business."

"We're going to the seal site of the Firstborn, right?" Hao Ren nodded and said, "Where exactly? How are we going to get there?"

A poker face suddenly popped out from aside. Cardinal Orben said with an emotionless face, "I negotiated with the Pope and we decided to go to the sacred cavern in the Volcano of Dusk. There seals the Firstborn who is expected to awaken earlier. The time for the liberation of the seal is less than a year, and the situation is more serious. Those tentacles are more active. They should be more suitable for observation."

"We can use the teleportation facility from Royal Magic Society," a minister in a thick purple robe nodded and said, "His Majesty allow us to use various strategic facilities of the Royal Magic Society this morning. In addition to the long-distance teleportation facility, we can also bring a team of elite wizards."

To deal with the tentacles of the Firstborn, wizards were obviously more effective than the ordinary warriors. At least wizards had a stronger mind, they were not so easy to go crazy.

Everybody got excited when they heard that they could use the local teleportation technology of Holletta. Hao Ren had been here for several times but he had never tried the teleportation facility here. So they quickly packed up and followed Ophra to the station of the Royal Magic Association.

The Royal Magic Association was a building in the northern suburbs of the capital, composed of several towering magic towers. The versatile human wizards and the mages of blood clan, who were good in magic, built this place together. As the oldest country on the continent, there were many ethnic groups in Holletta, and the blood clan was a relatively common 'minority' here.

The reason why the Royal Magic Association was built outside the capital was not that ordinary people were rejecting magic, but for security. In this world, wizards were inventors and researchers. Their more important role was being a kind of technician. They liked to invent strange things, and all the hard dynamite and alchemy and engineering weapons in the world were their masterpieces. So wherever you go, big magic towers had to be built away from residential areas, because you would not know when the stuff that fell off these towers was an alchemical bomb…

Of course, occasionally, there would be some unlucky wizards falling down from the towers. But don't investigate the cause. It was nothing weird for strange wizards doing strange stuff.

Hao Ren and his team passed through a magical curtain and saw the Royal Magic Association hidden under the optical invisible enchantment. The first thing they saw was a tall tower in a weird form. The tower seemed to be broken into a few sections and was divided into several parts, floating aslant in the air. On the whole, it looked as if one-third of the structure in the middle part was missing, but the magic tower was apparently still working. They could see some blurred shadows flashed across the fracture part, which seemed to be human figures.

"Rudolph's Tower, created by the Vice President of the association," Ophra explained, "Rudolph belong to an old blood clan, studying space technology, and famous for his daring experimental project. An accident turned his tower into this. The spatial distortion cuts the spatial structure of the tower, causing a part of the tower to float in a different dimension. It seems to be fragmented, but the interior is still seamless, it's just that when you walk into... It feels weird because some windows and doors will lead to strange places, and Rudolph has not yet designed the new structure of the whole tower. I went in to visit him once, but because the doorplate was wrong, so I had to travel back from the Cressyl Province in the South... I would advise you not go there."

Before Ophra finished her words, a large group of bats appeared in front of them and turned into a human. He was a middle-aged man in a black suit with a bright smile on his face. "It was just a little accident, lady. And I have warned you that the seventh floor of the magic tower was not very stable recently. I have an apprentice who even dug out his sister's underwear from his closet. The space is too unstable…"

They immediately gave this unreliable vice president the side-eye. Rudolph shrugged and said, "Well, probably it's not all because of space instability. Puberty is as mysterious as space magic."

"He's like this," Ophra whispered, "I heard that part of his brain was teleported away while he was studying magic."

"The blood clan of this world seems more cheerful than those on Earth," Hao Ren muttered.

Vivian rolled her eyes and said, "Of course. The Earth is so sinister. It's hard to be happy there."

"So these are the guests who are going to use the long-distance teleportation facility today?" Rudolph said and looked at Hao Ren and his team. "Oh, I've heard about... But President Catherine advised me not to ask too much, so come with me quickly—the sun is not good for the skin."
