Great time travel

Chapter 50, Pretentious little fairy

Bajas Empire, Imperial Capital Owental, Imperial Academy of Magic

The chief court magician of the empire, Fruda.The great sage of Paladin was standing at his office window, overlooking the daily life of the campus below.

——As the most powerful magician among the indigenous humans in this world, the chief court magician of the Bajas Empire, Fruda Paladin, is not only a wise polymath and a powerful strategic humanoid weapon, but also a great educator.It was he who single-handedly founded the largest formal educational institution in the world's human society - the Imperial Academy of Magic, and compiled the earliest systematic textbooks, laying an important foundation for talent and force for the gradual prosperity of the Bajas Empire: Because of the existence of magic, this is a world where knowledge can be directly transformed into force!
The school ethos of the Imperial Academy of Magic has always been very strict. All students who can enter this highest institution in the empire usually show great diligence.Even those dandies who rely on their backgrounds to enroll in school are also warned by the elders of the family. At most, they skip classes to spend time and drink outside the school, bully men and women, but they never dare to be inside the Imperial Academy of Magic, or in the emperor. To act recklessly under the eyes of the great sage - that is not only courting death, but at least destroying the future, and if not done well, it will harm the family!
However, in the past few months, this originally very serious school seems to have become a little too noisy...

Following the beautiful singing from the wind, the great sage of Fuluda standing at the window looked down and found a group of petite figures:

Beside the fountain pool of the school, a dozen goblins are flying around among the branches and flowers, singing beautiful songs.

Dozens of students who are still childish are clustered below and watched the little goblin's open-air concert with their heads up.Although no one can understand what they are singing, but the sweet and crisp, melodious and wonderful tone, as well as the petite and cute appearance, and the light and sensitive dancing posture are enough to make these people who lack entertainment in daily life People were overwhelmed by it.

In fact, since these cute goblins who came from nowhere appeared in large numbers in various parts of the empire in the spring and summer of this year, they have recently become the new fashion favorites in the imperial capital.Compared with traditional pets such as cats and dogs, this little flying thing is not only cute in appearance, like a living doll, but also has a sweet singing voice, which is endlessly memorable.In addition, unlike most wild animals that are very vigilant, these goblins seem to be completely unafraid of people, showing no signs of wariness towards strangers, and often surround someone inexplicably, watching him curiously.

Therefore, after confirming the harmlessness of this cute little creature, people living in the imperial capital generally welcome their visit happily.Just like fireflies in midsummer, whether it is the palace mansion, aristocratic garden, back alley dwellings, or noisy market, you can see these little goblins flying around, singing softly, and often chasing after a group of yelling , A naughty child with sparkling eyes.

But then, after getting along for a little longer, people found the headaches of these goblins dumbfounded: they seemed to have infinite curiosity, and an extremely lack of social common sense, let alone understanding of big people. Awed, always keen on all kinds of hilarious pranks.For example, when the great sage Fuluda was walking, he was swooped down and attacked by goblins more than once, and several white beards were pulled out.And in the palace, groups of goblins can often be seen dancing on the crown of His Majesty Jilknever.

The most amazing thing is that once when the emperor was enjoying the singing and dancing of goblins in the imperial garden of the palace, these bold little guys suddenly cast a spell, turning His Majesty's imperial robe into a fully transparent material, causing His Majesty to be naked in front of the guards and the imperial concubine. Ben...it was not until a quarter of an hour later that the clothes were restored to their original shape.

Fortunately, although the goblin's spells are both miraculous and distressing, most of them are innocuous jokes that can't cause any real harm, so instead of disgusting people, they make people feel more excited.On the other hand, as time goes by, people are also pleasantly surprised to find that these cute little things can not only bring a lot of fun to boring daily life, but also have great benefits for the growth of plants!In the gardens where goblins often visit, the flowers will bloom extraordinarily beautifully; in the orchards and vegetable fields where goblins haunt, the yield of vegetables and fruits will increase by at least a few percent, and the taste will be more delicious.The most notable change is in the Imperial Academy of Magic in the capital, a wasteland that was once used as a test range for attacking magic. Originally, there were only a few half-dead trees, but a group of goblins made their home there. In just two months, it has turned into a grove full of vitality, which amazed all the teachers and students.

So, just a few months after the goblins first appeared, these cute little lives have become people's most welcome guests. No matter where they fly, there are kind people happily bringing out various Preserved sweets - cream, pastries, honey, icing, candy, preserved fruit, fruit... to treat these sweet little guys, hoping they will bring you more good luck. (According to the game's settings, goblins should be fond of eating desserts, so high-sugar foods can replenish the stamina of goblin players several times more than eating the same amount of ordinary food.)
Of course, it is unavoidable that there will be profiteering profiteers trying to organize manpower to capture this precious goblin in large quantities, and then hoard it and sell it at a high price, but unless he is willing to always provide delicious food and drink to the captured goblins with a smiling face These mischievous little guys either use their magical spells to escape from prison quickly, or blow themselves up angrily, leaving the "bad guys" who captured and imprisoned them with nothing in the end...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

In fact, even the great sage Fruda, who was often attacked and plucked his beard by goblins for some reason, fell under the cuteness of these goblins.I saw him standing at the window, listening to the little goblin's singing quietly for a while, then turned around and opened a jar of the best honey he got from the emperor, put it in front of the window sill of the office, and beckoned to the little goblin flying not far away. Beckon, send a silent invitation.

After a while, these cute little guys gathered on the window sill of the great sage of Fuluda's office, humming songs without intonation in a thin and clear voice, while floating in the sky of the great sage of Fuluda In front of the victim, they scrambled to taste the fragrant honey.

With a kind smile, the great sage of Fuluda carefully looked at the goblins in front of him. In his eyes, these goblins looked like girls in their teens, but their bodies were only as big as palms. All of them were wearing clothes similar to low-cut long skirts, but they were much more compact and close-fitting, and the skirts were so short that they only covered their buttocks, exposing their small, white and tender limbs.

And behind each little fairy, a pair of translucent wings with beautiful patterns like a butterfly are constantly flapping, and you can even see a little bit of light dust shining with faint brilliance flying down, making the little fairy There is a hazy brilliance all over the body.

——The fine dust falling from the wings of fairies is "fairy dust", a very useful magic material.As soon as this kind of East and West came out, it became a treasure that made alchemists crazy about it.According to the research of several master alchemists of the Imperial Academy of Magic, Fairy Dust has amazing effects whether it is making potions or refining minerals. You can even use Fairy Dust directly as an advanced healing potion!
At present, the price of a pound of fairy dust on the black market in the imperial capital has been sold to thousands of gold coins, but there is still often no market for it.In order to avoid the tragedy of fishing in the marshes, and to prevent people from indiscriminately hunting and killing the goblins under the lure, leading to their rapid extinction or fleeing to other places, the great sages of Fuluda and the magisters of the college have already pushed the court to promulgate a protection bill , in an attempt to ban the illegal trade in Fairy Dust...

However, even without considering the expensive value of fairy dust, just looking at the beautiful appearance of these goblins is enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat - the long golden or silver hair shines with a dreamlike luster.There are also eyes that are as beautiful as jewels, which are more eye-catching than hair color.Coupled with skin that is warmer than top-grade ivory and white porcelain, perfect and exquisite facial features, and a pure and clear breath... Even if it is an elf family that has been rich in beauties since ancient times, or the dragon king's bloodline that is known as the most noble and excellent on the mainland , it may not be able to reach this level, right?
Even in.The beautiful princess named "Golden Princess" in the Kingdom of Yestij might be jealous to the point of going crazy after seeing them... Well, of course, it is also possible that they are happy to raise them, after all the size The gap is too great to be regarded as competitors of the same type at all.No matter how narrow-minded a girl is, she shouldn't be jealous that a certain doll is more beautiful than herself!
It stands to reason that as an elder who has lived for 200 years, experienced countless ups and downs, and is the strongest magician known to all mankind who is obsessed with the way of magic, the great sage of Furuda should not be stunned at this time, but he It is true that seeing the pure beauty of these goblins made him feel dazed and imaginative for a moment... But after a while, he calmed down, turned around, opened a booklet, and wrote his "Observation of Little Goblins" log":
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"...Based on the current observations and conclusions, the goblins that just appeared in this world this year should be omnivorous flying intelligent monsters, about the size of a pigeon, with translucent wings like a dragonfly. They like to eat high-quality food. Sugary desserts, but meat and fish are not excluded. They have an indescribable affinity for plants, which can make arable land and pastures high yields and harvests, and are beneficial organisms to humans.

Like intelligent monsters such as goblins, goblins also use their own unique spells, some of which appear to be similar to human magic.Moreover, whether it is among humans or among goblin groups, members who can become magic casters are very rare according to the population ratio.But the goblins are a strange race where all members are magic casters.However, the magic effects of goblins are generally as small as their size, and they can only perform some harmless pranks. So far, they have not been found to be able to use powerful attack magic, so they cannot be expected to directly play a role in war.However, he has a certain talent in healing. There have been reports of wounded and sick being treated by goblins.

Next, the goblin is a very curious creature, and has a very high learning efficiency, which is very contradictory to their usual behavior.From what I've seen, they're apparently capable of understanding human speech, understanding most gestures, and showing complex expressions like anger or joy.But the strange thing is that they can't learn human language, and can only make beautiful and strange tones like singing.So far, they are still unable to communicate with us using human language.In view of this, I suspect that the goblins have some problem with their vocal organs, but there is no direct evidence.If we want to find out, unless we collect a large number of goblins, carry out vivisection and comparison, and carry out various destructive research (this paragraph is full of smudges)..."

Damn it!I must be crazy!To have such an idea!
The old magician suddenly dropped the pen, stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, sighing and talking to himself.

As a magician who takes the pursuit of lofty knowledge as his highest goal in life, when he discovers a magical creature that he has never heard of before, and this magical creature can use magic that he has never seen before, how will he deal with it? What about magical creatures?

Should they be caught and slaughtered immediately, skinned and boned to make specimens and thoroughly studied?

Or should we slowly observe and raise them for a period of time, and after collecting enough information, then peel and dismantle the bones for careful study?
As a real magician, Fruda and his students and juniors have actually done such cruel things.

Not to mention those experimental animals such as rabbits, mice, cats and dogs, cattle and sheep, even humans, elves, orcs and other intelligent monsters are often used by him to conduct various insane magic research. There are so many of them. It even made the old magician too lazy to remember.

In the magic academy of the Bajas Empire, all kinds of research that violates human ethics have always been acquiesced.

But at this moment, Fuluda was surprised to find that his heart softened.

Is it because the little thing in front of me is too beautiful and innocent, so I don't want to destroy it?
Alas, even though his hands were already dirty long ago, he still shows kindness inexplicably. It seems that he is also a hypocritical guy.

The great sage of Furuda gave a wry smile, closed the observation log, and then picked up a brief summary of the recent government and military situation handed over by the emperor, read it quickly, and couldn't help frowning soon , The original relaxed mood in my heart disappeared immediately.

——Although in the past half a year, the Bajas Empire has been immersed in a wonderful atmosphere of peace and prosperity, and has also encountered interesting new things such as elves that have never been seen before.But from the perspective of the whole world, human beings are still in various crises of destruction and death.

The Dragon Kingdom in the southeast of the Bajas Empire, the small oriental fortress of the human world, is facing an unprecedented fierce attack from the orc army in the middle of the mainland.The army of this country has been defeated repeatedly, and thousands of human civilians have been reduced to the meat of the brutal orcs.Even with the large-scale reinforcements from its ally Slan Theocracy, the Dragon Kingdom's battle lines are still precarious, and the country may be in danger of subjugation.

Although the current war has not reached the border of the Bajas Empire, it is not far away.Once the Dragon Kingdom, which serves as a barrier on the Eastern Front, is destroyed, will the orcs continue to advance westward and invade the Slan Theocracy, which has held the banner of "human supremacy" for many years, or will they turn north and attack the Bajas Empire? It is very difficult to say in the southeastern border of China.The empire must take precautions early.

And the old rival to the west of the Bajas Empire, Li.The Kingdom of Yestijie has already experienced catastrophe for more than half a year under the ravages of the army of undead creatures.This border city, the fortress city, originated from the empire and the kingdom.Lantel's undead disaster has already ravaged Li.About one-third of the territory of the Kingdom of Yestij caused incalculable devastation.But the mastermind behind it is still hiding in the shadows.

According to some information obtained by the imperial intelligence department through secret channels, the fortress city Yeh was initially instigated.The murderer of Lantil's undead natural disaster seems to be the old evil organization "Zhiranong" on the mainland, but after the rise of the army of undead creatures, "Zhiranong" has completely lost control of the situation there.The commander in charge of this army of undead has also become a monster and a demon... Although the ruling and opposition parties of the Bajas Empire are very happy to see their old opponents.Despite the unlucky appearance of the Kingdom of Yestiger, he couldn't help but secretly startled at the destructive power of these undead, and quietly raised his vigilance.

Fortunately, so far, this undead catastrophe of unprecedented scale has not affected the territory of the empire at all.

This is not mainly because the empire has built the border into an iron wall, but because there is a powerful magic caster with a mysterious origin in the fortress city Ye.After the undead cataclysm broke out in Lantel, some surviving refugees were taken in.Then, on the edge of the Kaz Plain and the Great Forest, he established a small independent force belonging to him, and successfully kept the undead army out.And his sphere of influence is precisely stuck between the border of the empire and the forces of the undead, which invisibly blocked the spearhead of the undead army from reaching the empire's territory...

"...Only relying on the power of himself and some followers, and at most a few low-level adventurers, he can contain the army of undead that ravaged half of the kingdom? It's not easy! It seems that this The mysterious magician named Ainz should be a peerless powerhouse no less than an ancient legendary hero! Well, it seems necessary to test his attitude towards the empire and his true strength..."

The great sage Fruda muttered, and carefully read the description of the Ainz magician by the imperial intelligence department, but found that there were only some hearsay collected from the mouths of businessmen, and they were extremely brief and vague. He frowned deeply.

Touching the beard on his chin and thinking for a while, he rang the bell at his hand, summoned one of his confidant disciples, and said, "...you can contact the Adventurer's Guild in the Imperial Capital... No, wait, This time the matter seems to have exceeded the business scope of the Adventurer's Guild! You should find a way to find a way as soon as possible, and contact the 'black worker' in the imperial capital! See if anyone is willing to act as a temporary spy..."
