"Then don’t go, let them go themselves." The dean muttered as he stood up and looked for someone to bring Tianmiao and the others over. He didn’t want to be so urgent, as these students had just returned to the Academy, but this matter was indeed very urgent.
Soon, Tianmiao, Xia Chuanyue, Camille, and Dean were all seated in the dean’s office.
"Greetings, everyone. I am your dean, Abel. The reason I’ve asked you here is because I have an important matter to discuss. If you’re willing to investigate and resolve this issue, of course, it will add many points to your final evaluations, and it could be included in your graduation assessments. You could even graduate early if you wish." The dean began by plainly stating the benefits of accepting this task, "You could also have access to the highest level of the library."
Xia Chuanyue and the other three exchanged glances and then agreed.
The dean looked at Tianmiao, who nodded slightly.
"This matter is like this. Shude City, the city that thrives on the spice trade..." The dean began to explain the investigation they needed to undertake.
Shude City’s spices are renowned worldwide, and many merchants travel great distances to purchase them and resell them across the globe. This city was very prosperous originally, but recently, something dreadful happened, causing the city’s residents to shut their doors, and the merchants to flee the city. Naturally, the spice business plummeted.
The root cause is suspected to be vampires, or the Blood Clan’s destruction.
Initially, two vagrants were drained of blood, their bodies discarded on the streets. Just two vagrants—this did not concern the City Lord much. Reports were sent to him, but he wasn’t bothered. Even when the reports noted something unusual about these bodies, he paid no attention.
But soon, the City Lord’s wife and children met such unfortunate ends.
The City Lord’s wife and children were drained of their blood, their bodies were thrown from the city’s highest tower.
Finally, the City Lord could no longer sit idle and sent an urgent plea for help to the Magic Academy.
Tianmiao looked at the report sent by the City Lord and noticed the peculiarities on the corpse. Black smoke...
Has the Demon Clan already appeared?
"Let’s go. Depart now." Tianmiao stood up.
"But there’s no Teleportation Array to that city. At the fastest, I will have Griffins transport you. The Dragon Clan’s transportation is the fastest, but I think the few Dragon Knights in the world probably aren’t willing to do such a task." The dean joked.
"I remember there are Dragon Clan students in the Academy?" Tianmiao asked.
"Ah, yes, there are two young dragons who enrolled here. But the Dragon Clan is very proud; asking them might just result in being roasted by their flames. I would prefer not to start a war with the Dragon Clan over this matter." The dean explained.
Tianmiao did consider teleporting Xia Chuanyue and the others over, but thinking of the potential impact on the world, he decided against it. So he opted to have the Dragon Clan carry them over.
"Go to the plaza and bring over the two dragons." Tianmiao said.
"Huh?" The dean was confused and was about to ask, but met Tianmiao’s gaze, hurriedly agreed, "I’ll get someone to bring them over right now."
Tianmiao and Xia Chuanyue stood on the spacious plaza, waiting for the dean to bring the two young dragons of the Dragon Clan.
Soon, two individuals, looking puzzled, followed the dean over. Although their appearance resembled seventeen or eighteen-year-old humans, they were actually not yet mature and were considered juveniles.
