Chapter 77 Blue Glory
Thick, dark clouds covered almost the entire sky, blocking all sunlight, not even a ray of light could penetrate.

However, although there was no sunlight, it was not completely dark all around.

Below the dark clouds, bright street lights are built at regular intervals on both sides of the road.

With the frequent flashes of lightning above the dark clouds, the surrounding environment was not particularly dark.

After packing up their things and fleeing from the City of Origin, Roland and Hela headed directly towards the Massimo School.

Although after entering the area covered by dark clouds, the two had already entered the sphere of influence of the Massimo School.

However, Roland did not have much interest in the villages and towns controlled by the Massimo School.

Therefore, the two did not stop. They rested for a day or two at most, and then continued on their journey, moving towards the blue light.

"boom!"

As several bright flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, several loud thunders followed, resounding throughout the world.

Hela sat in the front of the carriage, watching the lightning flashing in the sky with interest.

This was the first time she had seen such a sight.

Under Hela’s gaze, the lightning inside the dark clouds was attracted and gathered, then fell from the sky, continuously striking a place in the distance.

Hela stretched out her hand and used her mental power to control the thick lightning elements around her. They gathered on Hela's right hand, forming a bright ball of electricity.

Under Hela's control, the ball of electricity leaked out slightly, and the weak lightning instantly flowed into her fingers and spread throughout her body.

Hela found this tingling and numb feeling quite interesting, and released some more electricity.

The first time Hela played like this, it was because she was not familiar with the thunder element and leaked it accidentally, but now, Hela did it on purpose.

However, Hela only occasionally electrocutes herself for fun when she's bored.

After using the electric shock several times, Hela felt bored and released the electric ball in her hand.

After Hela dispersed the electric ball in her hand, the carriage continued along the road for more than ten minutes before a bright line of sight came from a distance.

Even Hela was aware of this gaze.

However, this line of sight only glanced at the situation outside the carriage and did not penetrate into the carriage.

He stared at Hela silently.

Blue Glory, as the core city of the Massimo School, has strict entry and exit restrictions.

For people like Roland and Hela who came here for the first time, they wouldn't even have the chance to get close to the city if they didn't have a suitable reason.

Hela recalled Roland's instructions and silently took out the invitation letter from the Massimo School to Roland from her space bracelet.

A faint flash of lightning fell from the sky and landed on the invitation.

Then, the invitation letter absorbed the lightning and emitted a faint light.

Seeing that the invitation was real, the gaze directed at Hela became respectful and gentle, and then quickly disappeared.

After disappearing from sight, Hela put away the invitation and returned to the carriage.

She leaned against the carriage, finally relaxed, took out a book from her space bracelet, and began her fulfilling study life.

The other person in the carriage, Roland, was not so diligent.

He was leaning against the carriage, flipping through his grimoire, answering various questions posted by the Book of Wisdom to kill time.

He had completed the work of panning for gold in the sand in the City of Origin, and Roland had almost finished writing down the various materials that he was going to exchange with the Massimo School.

All Roland can do is to combine the strengths of player theory and local theory to create a new theoretical system.

However, this kind of re-creation work is too brain-consuming, and Roland cannot spend the whole day on this kind of work.

Therefore, he often answers questions to relieve his tired brain. "It's almost time."

Roland leaned against the carriage, and after answering the question posted on his hand, he closed the Book of Wisdom, looked at Hela, and said.

"Remember what I told you before."

"Ah."

Hela shifted her gaze from the book, nodded, and responded.

"That's good. Massimo is a university guy after all. It would be good to learn about their habits in advance."

Roland closed his eyes and emptied his mind while speaking.

After saying this, Roland emphasized it in an admonishing tone.

"I don't mean to make you feel wronged. If someone provokes you, don't be afraid. Fight back. Just keep your breath."

"Of course, if he wants to kill you, don't hold back, just kill him if you can. If you can't beat him, call me immediately."

"I will take action, don't be afraid."

Hela nodded obediently.

Then, Hela's gaze returned to the book in her hand, and Roland closed his eyes to adjust his state.

The carriage fell into silence again.

This kind of silence lasted until Roland opened his eyes again.

Roland looked forward and spoke calmly.

“Hela, we’re here.”

After hearing Roland's words, Hela closed the book in her hand and put it into the space bracelet.

Then, the two of them walked out of the car one after the other.

After stepping out of the carriage, what comes into view is the extremely tall city wall.

The stone city wall occupied the entire field of vision of the two men.

A large amount of electric current flows on the city wall, and from time to time unstable electric balls form and float out from the city wall.

A large number of large runes were painted on the city walls to restrain the violent electric currents on the walls.

An extremely dense thunder element also rushed towards him.

In this environment, the difficulty of casting spells that require the element of thunder will be greatly reduced.

It can be said that the weather and environment of the city of Blue Glory and its surrounding areas have been permanently changed by the School of Massimo.

If this had happened during Littorio's reign, the iron fist of the empire would have fallen long ago.

Although Littorio only banned the permanent environmental modification of necromancers, this did not mean that other spellcasters were not restricted.

Small-scale permanent transformation is acceptable for a laboratory, but this kind of large-scale transformation of an entire city completely breaks the rules set by Littorio.

If Littorio saw this, he would clean up the entire Massimo school from top to bottom.

However, Littorio is dead after all, and the Silver Empire's control over the Tower of Truth is basically zero. Therefore, the rules set by Littorio have long become a piece of waste paper.

Both the Tower of Truth and the Silver Empire tacitly skipped these rules.

At the city gate ahead, a spellcaster with a three-ring badge on his chest came over immediately after seeing Roland and Hela.
