Do ratmen dream of the sacred tree of spirits?

Chapter 81 Bishop Andrei

In the past few days, Fafnir has spent most of his time filling spiritual gaps and spiritual training.

The practice of second-tier spells was temporarily put on hold because the daily filling of spiritual gaps consumed a large amount of Fafnir's spiritual energy, leaving him with no extra spiritual energy to practice spells.

The good news is that, with the help of the kind Viscount Lorraine's daughter, Fafnir obtained permission to practice second-order magic near his home, something that was theoretically impossible.

Although his life is now stable and secure, the path of the enlightened remains very attractive to him.

Moreover, Fafnir didn't want to disappoint Mr. Victor's expectations and needed to make good use of the promotion the "ledger" brought him.

On Saturday, Fafnir arrived early at the grammar school dormitory so that he could be at the school gate at six o'clock sharp on Sunday to see Bishop Andre off.

……

"Welcome everyone to see me off. I completed the handover ceremony with Bishop Leiden at the City Hall yesterday. I am no longer the Bishop and Speaker of the Lorraine Territory."

Bishop Andrei bowed slightly to everyone present:

"Thank you all for your support over the past three years. I'm not good with words and I don't know much about some things, so I haven't had much interaction with you all."

Wishing everyone a peaceful and pleasant season.

The colleagues from the Church of the God of Death present also bowed slightly to Bishop Andrei, including Fafnir.

Bishop Andrei then went forward and spoke with several senior priests for a while.

"Sister Fanning, please take care of the magic circle. I hope the Lorraine Grammar School will continue to improve. Please also look after the East End School for the Poor Children."

"Understood, Professor Andrei, please don't worry."

"Kingsley, beware of the demon realm," Bishop Andrei said using a special telepathic technique, so only Kingsley could hear him.

"Traces of the Demon Realm have now been discovered. Although the Holy Kingdom has reacted, the messengers from the Eastern Region seem to be not vigilant enough."

Kingsley nodded silently.

Andrei spoke a few more words to the others, and soon walked up to Fafnir.

"Little guy, you're great. It was the right decision to bring you to school."

Victor thinks highly of you, and so do I.

Although your current status prevents you from pursuing a degree at the Holy Kingdom University.

However, if you have the opportunity, you can visit the Spirit Realm Academy of the First University of the Holy Kingdom in the capital.

"Manage the schools for underprivileged children in the East District properly."

"Thank you, Your Excellency Bishop Andrei." Fafnir hadn't expected that Bishop Andrei would exchange a few words with him.

After a while, Bishop Andrei returned to the carriage.

"Alright, everyone, farewell."

He waved and got into the carriage bearing the emblem of the Holy Kingdom's premier university; the carriage had been parked there the night before.

The carriage drove along the familiar road, and Fafnir watched it disappear from sight amidst the crowd...

"Come on, little mouseman, don't just stand there. Do you have something to do?" Sister Fanning's voice came.

"Sister Fanning, hello."

"Little guy, I have good news for you. I'm your boss now."

Sister Fanning tried to sound very calm, but she couldn't hide the corners of her mouth:

"I am now the principal of the grammar school and a member of the Lorraine County Council. You, the principal of the East End Poor Children's School, need to listen carefully to my arrangements."

Sister Fanning felt that she was still not immune to the common customs.

What's going on...? I'm already so old, all I've done is become a principal, a member of parliament, a member of parliament in such a prestigious place as the Education Committee...

"Yes, Principal Fanning, your subordinate Fafnir sincerely congratulates you," Fafnir said, sensing Sister Fanning's joy.

Sister Fanning composed herself, her tone returning to its usual calm: "Hmm...not bad, not bad."

By the way, come to my office now, it's the one Andrei used to have, it's mine now. I need to arrange your tasks for next semester.

Also, little one, you've now completed three years at grammar school, meeting the minimum study period, and you've earned almost all the required credits.

Victor told me before that you already know several second-tier spells.

I'll assume he's right for now. So, your extraordinary abilities could shorten your graduation time?

I'll give you a diploma from Lorraine Grammar School in a bit.

"Hmm... so people won't say the principal of the East District's poor children's school doesn't have a diploma."

"Oh, really?" Fafnir was surprised and almost incredulous. He had never thought of such a thing, since he had entered the grammar school as a volunteer and was only an auditor, without formal student status.

"Heh, little guy, of course it's true, while I'm still in a good mood and haven't changed my mind..."

……

"diploma

Fafnir Beckett, a native of Dawn Province in the Narns Empire, completed his studies at the Lorraine Grammar School from September 848 to July 851, achieving the required years of study and credits with excellent grades and exceptional magical abilities.

Graduation certificates are hereby awarded.

August of the Holy Kingdom, 851

Elven Holy Kingdom Lorraine Grammar School

Principal: Fanning Van Rentin

I received this thin certificate from Sister Fanning; it bore the grammar school's seal and lacquer stamp, and the border was decorated with beautiful and intricate patterns.

Fafner felt a rare sense of accomplishment.

I've finally graduated!

This graduation certificate is not only an affirmation of his academic achievements, but also a testament to everything he has accomplished during his three years at the grammar school...

Mr. Victor, Bishop Andrei, Martha and Ellen, Sister Fanning, and Ms. Anna, the teachers who audited the classes, the teachers in the logistics department, Miss Joelle, the cooks in the grammar school canteen, Raymond, Luca, Irene, Andreusa...

……

"My esteemed Lord Layton, what should we do with this old magic circle?"

"The Finance Committee's administrative staff are no good; they're not worth much. The new monitoring array will arrive tomorrow."

"Sir, do we need to monitor the magic array at all times?"

"Edmund, are you a messenger?"

"I'm sorry, sir, I understand."

Edmund Grey understood that only messengers could effectively monitor the magic circle; these enlighteners were of little use.

"Didn't nothing happen in the territory we were in before? There were indeed traces of second-tier demons in the Lorraine territory some time ago."

This further proves that the demon realm won't care about this side, from a probability perspective.

Monitoring the movements of the Demon Realm is indeed important, but there are already many messengers at the regional level keeping an eye on things, and so many lords nearby are also helping with the monitoring.

Edmund, remember this: we're here as local bishops, not as human surveillance arrays.

"Just make sure someone's here half the time each day."

"Yes, Your Excellency! I will follow all your instructions!"
