Chapter 4354 Star Servant Enrolls
The pink-haired boy was none other than Xing Shi.
The last thing Angor did while he remained in the City of Fools was to wait for him to arrive and send him to the city to study enlightenment.
Originally, Angell intended to have the Inventor Mouse teach the Star Servant and enlighten him.
But plans can never keep up with changes. Who could have predicted that a dungeon called the City of Knowledge, designed specifically to enlighten fools, would suddenly appear?
Ingres never denied the intelligence of the invented mouse, but whether the invented mouse could serve as a teacher for the Star Servant is ultimately questionable when it comes to systematic enlightenment and teaching.
However, if we compare the Inventor Mouse with the Fool's Academy, the answer becomes obvious: the Fool's Academy is the most suitable place for the Star Servant.
Previously, they had used the example of the hollow man to describe the suitable candidates for the City of Fools.
In reality, although the Prussians of today are dull and sluggish, they are not truly hollow people.
Only the Star Servant is a completely hollow person—
He and this academic city are perfectly suited from the ground up.
After determining the location of the Star Servant, Angor began to manipulate his powers, pulling the Star Servant on the Dream Bridge into the Dream Crystal Plain.
The landing location was right at the entrance to the Fool's Academy instance.
The Star Servant had barely entered the Dream Crystal Plains for less than a second, and before he could even sense his surroundings, he was dragged directly into the Fool's Academy by Angor.
The next second, the pink-haired boy appeared outside the school gate.
The arrival of the Star Servant did not initially attract the attention of anyone else.
It wasn't until Angell and the Spirit of the Citadel stepped forward and personally led the Star Servant into the administration office that the surrounding crowd became suspicious.
Could someone who could be "greeted" by the principal be some important figure?
While everyone outside was speculating, Angor had already had the Spirit of the Citadel complete the student registration for the Star Servant.
Angor manipulated the Auxiliary Hand to confirm that the Star Servant was compatible, then looked at the Spirit of the Citadel: "From now on, he's in your hands."
The Spirit of the Citadel nodded silently, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Should I teach him?"
Angel shook his head: "No need, just treat him like a normal student, arrange him to a normal grade, and let him attend classes normally."
"But Headmaster, you personally greeted him, didn't you?" The spirit of the Academy asked, somewhat puzzled.
In fact, the Spirit of the City still doesn't know the Star Servant's exact identity, but the fact that Angor was "personally" greeting him means that the Spirit must be very important to Angor and deserves special treatment.
Angor seemed to see through the Citadel Spirit's doubts. He didn't hide anything, chuckled, and told the Star Servant about his origins.
Star Servant is actually a hollow person fished out of the Sea of Empty Mirrors.
How important was it to Ingres? Not really.
Angor kept him around for two reasons: first, he was curious about the psychic system of the hunter from the world of Hante; second, a wishing book had been retrieved along with him, and the abilities recorded in the book were quite interesting. Angor wanted to study it in depth, but all of this required the Star Servant to be fully awakened and enlightened.
Therefore, Star Servant is more like a research subject to be observed by Angor, nothing more.
The spirit of the city was even more confused after hearing this.
Since the Star Servant isn't that important to Angor, why go to all the trouble of personally welcoming him?
Why not just bring him into the Citadel along with the previous Prussians?
The reason the Spirit of the Citadel had such doubts was that, as the "eyes" of the Citadel, he had already sensed the clamor of discussion outside, with many people secretly speculating about the identity of the Star Servant.
This wave of curiosity continues to spread.
After all, Angor personally greeted the Star Servant, a treatment the Prussians had never received before.
With such a grand display, the Star Servant will undoubtedly receive special treatment from everyone in the Academy City, regardless of how quickly or how well he develops his wisdom or how well he cultivates.
Therefore, the Spirit of the City did not understand Angor's actions.
Hearing the Citadel Spirit's question, Angel said softly, "This is just a small test."
"test?"
Angel nodded. His original idea was to let Star Servant receive Behemoth's teachings in the Heart Space, so that he could log off from time to time to participate in the teaching and gradually anchor Star Servant's mind through this interaction.
To put it more bluntly, it's about "raising children".
If the Star Servant lowers his guard and doesn't reject him, the research will proceed more smoothly in the future.
But now that Star Servant has been sent to the City of Fools, it will be difficult to interfere with his enlightenment process from start to finish.
After all, Angell intended to be a hands-off manager...
Since he couldn't guide her personally, he decided to try a different approach.
“I personally welcomed him and deliberately created this kind of public opinion so that everyone would know that he was someone I personally brought into the academy.”
Whether or not he gains enlightenment in the future, he will inevitably hear rumors about Angor in the City of Knowledge from time to time, and he will know that his ability to enter the City of Knowledge and gain enlightenment is all thanks to Angor.
Over time, even without Angell's personal intervention, he will gradually gravitate towards Angell and develop a sense of belonging, which will have the same effect of anchoring his mind.
Of course, there are always exceptions.
It's also possible that in such an environment, the Star Servant wouldn't choose to submit, but instead would become even more rebellious.
Therefore, Angell simply treated this as a test.
If the Star Servant passes the test, Angel will definitely allocate more resources to studying its abilities and nurturing its development.
But if he fails this test, he will become part of the construction of the Dream Crystal Plains, just like the Prusia people here. For Angor, that wouldn't be a loss either.
The spirit of the city listened quietly, and only after Angell finished speaking did it slowly relax its brows, completely understanding.
"I probably understand."
Angel nodded slightly, his tone casual: "No need to be too deliberate. Just do as I said and arrange things for him as a normal student. As for the rest, let nature take its course."
The spirit of the academy stepped back in response, turned and walked toward the Star Servant who stood silently to the side, and gently gestured for him to follow, preparing to take him to familiarize himself with the academy environment and to the corresponding class.
The chatter outside the school administration office continued unabated, with curious glances frequently falling on Xing Shi's retreating figure.
However, Angell was no longer paying attention to these follow-ups. He rode the mechanical bird back to the principal's office on the mountaintop.
Then he walked alone to the teleportation point on the rooftop, preparing to leave.
Just as he was about to step into the teleportation point, he heard the farewell voice of the Spirit of the Citadel:
"Goodbye, Headmaster... I look forward to your next visit."
Angel chuckled lightly: "Alright, the Academy City is now in your hands. Make good use of the illusion nodes I left you... I hope that when you come back next time, there will be some new changes here."
"Please rest assured, Principal, leave everything to me."
Angel nodded, said nothing more, turned and stepped into the teleportation point, disappearing from sight.
Only a soft, reluctant sigh remained in the air.
……
The first thing Angor did upon returning to Dream Crystal Plains was to meet Laplace.
Angell met Laplace at the Word Manor.
They found her sitting in the manor, leisurely holding a tea party.
Those participating in this small tea party included Montedan, Maggie, the Book Fairy, and Normefens's clone.
Angell's arrival immediately caused a stir.
The book fairy, in particular, looked at Angell with an adoring gaze.
She already knew that Angel had used his own abilities to seal the demon god's thoughts behind the "door".
It sounds easy, but she knows all too well how difficult it is.
She had tried to seal away the lingering resentment of the demon god, but it was simply impossible.
This great feat—yes, in the eyes of the Book Fairy, it was an impossible achievement, absolutely a great feat!
Even other abyssal demons might not be able to seal the demonic consciousness of the Cruel Scholar. After all, the Cruel Scholar represents knowledge.
Using knowledge to seal Him is virtually impossible in the abyss.
But Ingres did it.
That's why the book fairy's eyes were filled with admiration when she saw Angel again.
It can be said that the Book Fairy is currently the one among the "Observer Trio" who respects Angel the most.
However, Angor felt that the Book Fairy was somewhat overrated. If it weren't for the Prison of All Knowledge she created, Sebastian would have escaped long ago.
Therefore, the book fairy was actually a contributor to the sealing.
Most importantly, the method to perfectly seal Sebastian was also told to him by the book fairy.
To be honest, the Book Fairy's achievements are also undeniable.
Hearing Angel's words, the book fairy smiled gently: "It's good that I can help Mr. Angel... As for the merits, I know my own abilities. If I can do it, how could I possibly die?"
The book fairy is talking about "death" in reality.
Now reshaped by the powers of the fairy realm, it represents a new beginning for the book fairy.
“Everyone has contributed, so let’s not try to shift the blame.” Laplace looked up at Angel: “Since you’re here, would you like to join the tea party?”
Angor: "I plan to check out the Uriel and Misty Forest dungeons first. I'm just here to say hello."
"However, I'm not in such a hurry. I do have time to sit down and have a cup of tea."
Angell chose an empty seat and sat down, then used illusion magic to create a teacup and poured a steaming cup of rose tea into it.
"By the way, what's the theme of your tea party?"
Laplace shook his head: "There's no specific topic, just casual conversation, listening to interesting stories from different worlds."
Angell: "Speaking of which, since you have time to hold tea parties, does it mean that your busy work is over?"
Laplace took a sip of the lightly fragrant tea and parted her red lips slightly: "I can only say that the busiest period is over, but I'm still very busy now."
After all, the Calamity Puppet could arrive in the Mirror of Day at any time, and all the major races are moving their people online.
It's normal to be busy these days.
"Fortunately, the peak period has passed, and my Mist Spirit clone is enough to handle the current intensity." Although Laplace still cannot log off, with the help of the Mist Spirit clone to divert the crowd, she can now be a "hands-off manager".
This is why Laplace was able to hold a tea party here.
"And you?" Laplace looked at Angell curiously.
Angel shrugged: "Like you, I've handed over the governance of the Citadel to the Spirit of the Citadel, and I've become a hands-off manager."
Laplace and Ingres exchanged a smile.
“Since you don’t have any particular theme for your tea party, why don’t I start it off? Let’s talk about… Sebastian,” Angel said with a smile.
Upon hearing the name "Sebastian," everyone's expressions instantly turned solemn.
They already knew that Sebastian was the sealed demon god's divine will.
Topics related to Sebastian inevitably involve the previous seal, so they naturally dared not take it lightly.
Seeing this, Angel waved his hand and said, "Don't be so serious. In fact, Sebastian knows very well why I went there. He was happy to be sealed away."
"Reluctantly?" Maggie and Montessori were puzzled. Why didn't they complain about being sealed away?
The book fairy explained softly, "Every thought of the cruel scholar inherits His boundless thirst for knowledge. As long as it is a new and unknown knowledge, He will study it like a madman, willing to die for it, let alone be sealed away."
This is why the book fairy initially said that the best seal is to constantly feed it new knowledge.
New knowledge is to the ruthless scholar what pollen is to the bee—a thirst they will never give up, no matter what.
The most perfect and ultimate seal is to give them knowledge that they can never research. When they obtain this knowledge, they will be completely imprisoned in a cage called "research," never to see the light of day again.
But such knowledge is almost impossible to find.
"In other words, is it still possible for the demon god's divine sense to break free?" Maggie asked.
The book fairy nodded: "Yes, but how long it can seal Him depends on Mr. Angel."
Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to Angel.
Angel: "While I cannot achieve an absolutely perfect seal, a relatively perfect seal is still possible..."
After all, Sebastian now lacks the computing power of its original body.
Under these circumstances, it would be virtually impossible for Him to succeed in studying Ingres's utopian alchemy.
Angell personally felt there was no problem with fishing for Him for hundreds of years.
“I originally planned to discuss Sebastian at the next Stone Table Conference, but now one thing after another, plus external calamities, I don’t know if the next Stone Table Conference can even proceed as planned…”
Therefore, Angell intends to tell everyone about Sebastian and Blue Flame's situation now.
"Blue Flame?" Everyone knew Sebastian, but what was Blue Flame? They looked puzzled.
Angell: "Don't worry, I'll mention it later."
Next, Angel began to recount his experiences among the demons.
He recounted most of his conversation with Sebastian, omitting only a small portion that touched on personal topics.
Everyone listened attentively, but without a doubt, the most attentive listener was Normefens's clone.
After all, it is the true gatekeeper between the demons and gods, so it naturally needs to understand Sebastian's situation to avoid unnecessary problems.
