"This should be completely over, but why hasn't the system indicated that the simulation has ended yet?"
Once the seventy-two demon pillars are subdued, isn't it over? What mission does Solomon still have to complete?
So Lin Ye continued watching.
[January 1, Year 3: The story of Solomon building the Temple has spread to half the world, and believers and magicians from all over the world have come to Jerusalem to worship the Holy City!]
Among these people who came to worship, there were two who caught Lin Ye's attention!
Especially that one of them!
Zelrich! Schbein Aug!
Chapter 368 The Gemstone Elder Comes Knocking
"Zelrich? Isn't that the Jewel King?!"
Lin Ye was also taken aback for a moment.
If Solomon is a Grand Caster among Heroic Spirits, then Zelrich is a living Grand Caster.
The Grand Marshal of the Magic Path, founder of the Mineral Science Department, the Second Magician, and the one who defeated Zhu Yue with the Endless Ether Cannon, Zelrich can be said to be a true living legend.
"I almost forgot, Zelrich is Solomon's disciple."
Upon seeing Zelrich appear, Lin Ye already knew what he should do next.
[January 2nd of the third year: Lin Ye and Solomon are playing Go in the Temple of the Crown Time, but Lin Ye is feeling very unwell.]
There's no way around it; they both possess clairvoyance, having already played hundreds of games in the future before even making a move. Lin Ye's clairvoyance is A++, slightly lower than Solomon's, which has put him at a significant disadvantage these past few days, and he's on the verge of losing...
Just then, two figures broke through the guards' defenses and rushed in.
These two people are Zelrich and his 02 friend Bricissan.
Two figures rushed in and immediately knelt on the ground. One of them, Bricissang, looked up at Lin Ye and Solomon before him and pleaded...
"Great Envoy Lin Ye and King Solomon, please save the world of magic!"
Brissian, the founder and dean of the Clock Tower, one of the three major magic organizations, and also one of the twelve monarchs—the monarch of the Heritage Department.
As for his talk of saving the magic world, it's because the Age of Gods is about to end, and the magical energy in the air is decreasing significantly, which is a fatal blow to magicians.
In Type-Moon, the dividing line between the Age of Gods and the modern era is the difference between before Christ and after Christ. Magicians of the Age of Gods and magicians of the modern era can be considered two completely different kinds of beings.
In the Age of Gods, magic belonged to the realm of the gods. Although there were witches like Medea, they all had divine inheritance and were therefore able to control magic. So in the Age of Gods, magic and sorcery were not really different; it was just a difference in name.
Hearing Brisesson's plea, Solomon did not reprimand him for trespassing on the temple, but sighed helplessly.
“There’s nothing I can do. The depletion of the Great Source is irreversible. Even the omnipotent God chose to leave. Your pleas to me cannot change anything.”
Hearing Solomon's words, despair appeared on the faces of both Bricissan and Zelrich. At the current rate of magical energy dissipation, mystery would vanish completely in a few hundred years. So, was mystery truly coming to an end?
"Actually... there is a way."
Suddenly, a voice rang out, and hope appeared in the eyes of Zelrich and Bricissan.
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw Lin Ye stand up abruptly from his seat. Perhaps because he was too excited, he accidentally knocked over the chessboard.
"Ahem, actually, it's not entirely hopeless. The end of the Age of Gods is irreversible, but magic doesn't necessarily have to decline."
"Hmm? Lin Ye, do you have an idea?" Solomon looked at Lin Ye curiously, also curious about what method Lin Ye could use to save magic.
Looking at Solomon in front of him, Lin Ye smiled and said...
"Even though Da Yuan is gone, Xiao Yuan is still here, isn't he?"
The magic in the Type-Moon universe is divided into two types: the Great Source, which permeates the entire world, and the Small Source, which is born within living beings.
Magicians from the Age of Gods wielded the Great Source, so most of them were far stronger than modern magicians. However, this does not mean that magicians using the Small Source are necessarily unable to defeat magicians using the Great Source. The most classic example is Bazett, whose combat power would still be considered strong even in the Age of Gods.
Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, Zelrich and Bricison's eyes instantly lit up. Yes, the Great Source was depleted, but they still had the Small Source!
"But how do we use Xiaoyuan?" Zelrich asked the most crucial question.
Hearing Zelrich's question, Lin Ye smiled and said...
"Magic circuit".
"Magic circuit?"
"Yes, it's the magic circuit. It's a unique type of simulated nerve in the human body. Magicians can use the magic circuit to transform life force into magic power, which serves as the base for connecting magic formulas. Moreover, through the continuous inheritance of magician families, new magicians usually become more and more outstanding, thus achieving the purpose of inheritance."
Hearing Lin Ye say this, Zelrich's eyes lit up, but the light dimmed the next second. "But this is just a concept. How do we know it will definitely work?"
“Of course it’s feasible!” Lin Ye said with unwavering certainty.
Lin Ye was naturally adamant, after all, he lived in the modern world. Moreover, while most magicians in the Age of Gods manipulated large sources, there were also those who used smaller sources to control magic.
For example, Circe, although she is also proficient in manipulating the Great Source, her wings are actually magic circuits, and she can fight enemies with the Small Source just the same.
Seeing Lin Ye's confirmation, Solomon nodded as well; he completely trusted Lin Ye.
He stood up abruptly, casually casting a Restoration Spell to restore the chessboard to its original state, and then he spoke.
"Alright! Lin Ye, since you have a solution, let's start establishing a magic academy right now and gather magicians from all over the world to study Xiaoyuan magic!"
"Okay!" Lin Ye nodded in satisfaction.
Upon hearing what the two said, Zelrich and Bricissan almost exclaimed with delight.
Seeing how happy the two young people were, Solomon then spoke.
"Then Lin Ye, let's start preparing to establish a magic academy after we finish this game of chess."
"What! No way!" Lin Ye immediately shook his head, throwing the chessboard aside again before speaking righteously, "This is a matter of great importance concerning the inheritance of magicians! How can we waste time here! It would be a sin! Zelrich, Bricisan, let's go choose a site to build the academy!"
"Yes, Mr. Lin Ye!"
The next second, Lin Ye led the two away from there.
Seeing this scene, Solomon couldn't help but sigh.
"Lin Ye... is indeed decisive and efficient."
Meanwhile, Lin Ye secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said...
"That was so close! We almost lost the game."
Damn! I'm never playing chess with Solomon again! He's got superhuman vision, he's cheating!
Chapter 369 Dean of the Magic Academy - Lin Ye!
[On February 1st of the third year: The Jerusalem Magic Academy was officially established, with Solomon as the teacher and Lin Ye as the dean. Students from all directions came to this place to study.]
February 2nd of the third year: Lin Ye divided the entire academy into four classes, namely...
Gryffindor, Hatch Patch, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw!
Furthermore, students are divided into classes for management.
February 3th of the third year:
The academy officially opened for classes, and Lin Ye, as the dean, delivered the opening speech, the details of which are as follows:
Good morning, esteemed leaders, dear teachers, and lovely students!
Thank you all so much for giving me this opportunity to speak. Regarding the establishment of our college, I think there are three key points I need to discuss…”
Next, Solomon, the teacher representative, gave a speech:
"Today is a day to be remembered and cherished forever. We gather here to celebrate the successful establishment of our institute. I have eight rules to share here:"
First, we should unite with our classmates and help each other…
Finally, the new student representative, Messala Escaldes (Flat's ancestor), gave a speech:
"Students, it is an honor to represent you in this speech. I believe we have five goals to discuss:"
First, the research on magic circuits will be the central focus, with the development of magic crests as a secondary objective…”
Finally, after a two-hour mobilization meeting, the Jerusalem Magic Academy was officially established!
February 4th of the third year:
Lin Ye and Solomon began their lessons simultaneously. To help everyone better understand magic circuits, Lin Ye even demonstrated his beginner-level magic circuit, which improved all the students' understanding of magic circuits.
"This seems to be the first reward I've ever received in a simulation. I never thought I'd actually be able to use it now."
Seeing this scene, Lin Ye couldn't help but sigh.
When Lin Ye first simulated Sakura, he obtained several magic circuits, which gave him E-rank magic power. However, he later simulated Servants, so he had almost forgotten about magic circuits. But now it seems that even an E-rank reward has its uses.
[February 5th of the third year: Zelrich's magic circuit was activated.]
February 12th of the third year: The Bricissan Magic Circuit was activated.
February 20th, Year 2: The Messala Magic Circuit was activated.
"As expected of the Jewel Elder, he already knows how to use magic circuits on the second day."
