The Lord Demon King is Unfathomable!

In this chaotic world, Demons not only walk under the sun, they even sit together with Humans and share dinner.

Perhaps this was something neither Saint Sis nor the Demon God had ever anticipated.

…

After seeing off the boisterous Campbell family, the manor finally regained the tranquility that the night should have.

The tableware from the banquet had been cleared away by the servants, and the noise faded with it, leaving only the chirping of insects in the hedges.

Luo Yan returned to his study; the flames in the fireplace flickered quietly, casting light on his once again calm profile.

He took that letter from the Academic State out of the pocket of his coat, the Fire Wax Seal of the Castelion family standing out conspicuously under the light.

Undoing the Magic Seal, he opened the envelope and unfolded the sheet of letter paper that still carried a faint scent of ink.

[…Dear Prince Colin, it has been more than a year since we parted. I wonder if you are well?

I hope everything is going well for you, and I also hope you still remember that in that distant Northern Wilderness, there is a girl who misses you.

And many others who miss you just as I do.

]

The beginning of the letter was in Ophelia's lively handwriting; the words matched the person—she was still as brave, cheerful, and full of passion as before.

And beneath that sunny, cheerful greeting, Luo Yan also saw many familiar handwritings and signatures.

Among them was his favorite student Ilana, as well as Jamie and Lam, and Hard and Bain, and even Kegi, who often ran errands for him.

While sending him their blessings, they also shared some trivial matters from their daily lives, as well as amusing stories from the laboratory.

The corners of Luo Yan's mouth couldn't help but curve into a nostalgic smile; he could almost picture them busy at the lab benches.

Ilana was surely working out equations on scrap paper that he found more and more incomprehensible, Lam was probably fiddling with optical instruments, and Jamie was most likely repairing that eternally broken table.

Then there were Hard and Bain—who knew whether their Thermobaric Flame Bomb had managed to blow up the training ground. As for Kegi, with no one ordering him around, he had probably enjoyed a year of leisure.

Collecting everyone's greetings and pasting them into the letter, it was clear Ophelia had poured quite a bit of effort into writing it.

Luo Yan continued reading down the letter.

Beyond those everyday bits that made one smile, Ophelia also took the chance to share some of the latest news from the Academic State with him.

Both the pleasant news and the unpleasant.

[…Ever since you left the Tower of Great Sage, this High Tower has returned to its former state.

I often hear people talk about you in the library. They all say that you opened a window in the Tower of Great Sage, letting fresh air blow in, and made people realize that even ordinary Souls can live in extraordinary ways.

It's just a pity you left in such a hurry. Before people had time to finish listening to your story, you had already flown away like a butterfly in spring.

I often hear people speaking of you with longing—whether Preparatory Students or Mages, or those Assistants and even Professors who once received your help. The sentence I hear most often is: "If only your teacher were still here."

Whenever I hear this, my heart fills with joy. And this has only further strengthened the resolve in my heart: I will carry on your doctrines; I must not let them be buried in the snowfields…

]

Luo Yan felt very comforted when he read this.

Not only because the footprints he left on the snowfields were heating up, but also because Ophelia would, for the time being, not be chasing him here.

One Vivian was already enough of a headache; if another Ophelia showed up, he figured he'd have to rack his brains for a while on how to keep spinning his story.

In the letter, Ophelia went on to mention that Professor Hector's situation lately was not very optimistic.

Ever since Professor Uriel, viewed as a "Great Sage Candidate," inherited Professor Arist's academic legacy, his Influence in the Academic State had grown by the day, and his squeezing of Professor Hector had also become increasingly blatant.

This was clearly related to Professor Hector having previously been too close to Professor Colin.

Ophelia, after all, was a Princess of the Holy City; steeped in politics from a young age, she saw through the essence of the problem at a glance—

Professor Uriel was using the pretext of knocking Hector to suppress the Science School in the Academic State, thus achieving the goal of cutting down dissenters.

Precisely for this reason, Professor Uriel was not only full of hostility toward Hector; his hostility toward other Professors and students of the Science School had reached the point of being completely undisguised.

He saw this doctrine, rooted in practice and challenging authority, as a profanation of knowledge.

At first his criticism was somewhat restrained, but later it escalated to the point where he did not hesitate to publish articles openly denouncing them.

To be honest, standing now as an outsider looking at all this, Luo Yan merely chuckled inwardly and did not take Professor Uriel's naked hostility to heart.

If he had to sum it up in one line, it would probably be that saying: "shallow waters breed many turtles."

Of course, that was a bit biased; the Academic State, after all, gathered the finest minds of the entire Imperial realm.

There were still many outstanding Mages there; it was just that under the Influence of the Great Sage, it was hard for them to devote all their intellect to academic work.

This was not only Luo Yan's view; Ophelia harbored similar thoughts.

She sighed in the letter that the towering Tower of Great Sage could no longer accommodate a single An Jing lab bench.

Many Professors, in order to keep themselves safe, had begun deliberately avoiding too much interaction with Scholars of the Science School.
