Book 4: Chapter 53: A Strategy

Prime Minister Mihabel straightened up in his seat with much difficulty and his body fat jiggled with every movement he made. The obese man gave Professor Marlin a smile and praised, “As expected of St. Caroline’s Brain, Professor Marlin, to be able to clarify the context of the matter in such a short period of time by relying on just some clues.”

“You flatter me, I was merely offering a retrospective view on the matter.”

“Nonsense, Golden Demon Htilil is extremely cunning and treacherous. Professor Marlin, you have done a great job thus far. It’s such a waste for someone so talented as you to stay here in the academy. I happen to still need an advisor by my side. Would you be interested?”

“It is an honor to receive such an offer from you, Your Excellency, but I still prefer to concentrate on studying formations. I am still green in this area, so you should look for someone better fitted for the position,” Professor Marlin shook his head and humbly rejected.

“Tsk, such a pity.” Rather than getting upset, Mihabel followed up with another question. “So we’ve heard a lot already. Does Professor Marlin have any amazing idea on how to deal with this Golden Demon Htilil?”

“I wouldn’t call it amazing...”

“That’s a yes then?”

Professor Marlin smiled wryly, “Well it’s nothing amazing. We’ll just have to trap her.”

“What do you mean?”

“The Golden Demon Htilil is now in the ruins and her realm has fallen from the saint realm. Despite her experience, she is acting alone. Hence, my suggestion is for St. Caroline and everyone to gather a big group of peak rank nine elite warriors and magicians. They will be further divided into smaller groups of five and enter the ruins. One group to search for valuable ancient relics while the other group to hunt Golden Demon Htilil down.”

“Why groups of five?”

“Three warriors and two magicians make an effective lineup since they could complement each other.”

“I see. As expected of the best academy on the main continent.”

“I can make this place our base during this period of time and set up a huge array as another trap. As long as there is a veteran peak saint sitting at the heart of the huge array, not even Htilil will be able to escape!”

Pope Novak nodded lightly. “That’s a sound idea, but who will act as the core of the array?”

The vice dean shook his head. “I still can’t get in touch with the dean, so I would like to seek help from everyone.”

“But I can’t just leave my country.”

Noak then shot a side glance and snickered. “Someone seems to be quite free. Why not ask him?”

“Hmph, don’t go thinking that I don’t know what you’re planning. You’re thinking about stirring up trouble at Luminous Theocracy in my absence, right?”

Pope Delance sneered, “Unfortunately for you, I have no plans of getting involved this time.”

“Tsk tsk tsk, what a heartless man. The human race is facing a major crisis, yet you’re only concerned about that tiny land of yours.”

“Why don’t you go then, sissy?”

“Hoho, the Goddess tells me that if I were to go, you little s̲h̲i̲t̲ will take advantage of the situation.”

If they could ally with the dragons through the Dragon Queen, that would definitely turn the tide of their battle with the demons!

“Did the Dragon Queen say anything else other than that? Like which part of the Holy Dragon Empire have the Dragon Princess run off to?” the vice dean carefully inquired.

“Nope. As usual, she just said that she’ll kill me if the princess loses even a strand of her hair. Nothing else.”

“......”

“Then I think Taylor should become the core of the array,” Pope Delance suddenly spoke up.

“Why?”

“For the sake of your life.”

“No way. What would happen if I went to a backwater place like St. Caroline and the princess couldn’t find me?” Taylor curled his lips. “I’m not stupid.”

“......”

“By the way, where do you usually wait for your princess?”

“Haha. Of course at a place where lolis like the princess are most likely to appear!” Taylor flashed an annoying smile like he was some sort of damn genius. “That’s why I’d usually wait for the princess around that brothel in the west street for kinky people who like to spank lolis.”

“......”

“......”

“......”

The vice dean suddenly let out a long sigh and said bitterly, “Seems like we can only resolve this situation by ourselves.”

“You’re saying that we’ll have to use that?” Professor Marlin exclaimed in shock.

“We’ve no choice but to use it.”

“But...”

“That’s enough, Professor Marlin. I know what you want to say, but we have no other choices at this point in time.”

Professor Marlin was silent for a long time before he suddenly bowed deeply to everyone who was seated around the square table.

“Since we can’t guarantee that Golden Demon Htilil will be slain, our academy hopes that the highest authorities of the human race can agree to one thing.”

“What is it?”

“To issue a kill order on the Golden Demon Htilil to the human race!”
