Lord of Glory

ere also being indifferent to this.
All of them frowned and looked preoccupied with their own thoughts.
Among this large group of tutors, a dull person was sitting in the corner.
They were so inconspicuous that they literally merged with the shadow in the corner.

The person was an ordinary-looking young woman.
Those who saw her would only think the golden hair didn’t suit her.
Adele was her name.
She was an ordinary tutor who taught the basics of forming formations.
She was unremarkable in appearance and extremely introverted.
As a result, not many people were willing to get along with her.
This such ordinary and introverted tutor was squatting in a dark corner, playing with a carving knife with a magic circle engraved on it.

The sharp carving knife twirled flexibly on her slender fingertips as if it was made to be in her hand.
Her ordinary face revealed a level of excitement no one had ever seen in her before.
As if some thought abruptly popped into her mind, Adele's excited expression vanished in an instant.
She then turned with a worried face and timidly spoke to the frowning instructors beside her, “I think….
let's go up and see the dean….
Maybe he fell asleep?”

Several tutors around her exchanged smiles and made eye contact.
Unexpectedly, this introverted Adele was so cute and she deeply respected the dean.
When they gave it some thought, Adele’s suggestion was right.
Sitting still was not an option.

A male tutor who was next to her nodded with a smile and said, “Okay, let's go and see what the dean is doing.
Adele, let's go together.”

“Well…”

So, under the lead of several tutors, Adele justifiably left the hall and walked towards the tower on top of the castle.
When her face was obscured by shadows, more crazed and excited expressions emerged.

“It's over….
It's over….
Everything’s over….” said the dean, who hadn’t shown up at the hall for a long time.
He was still cooped up in his attic.
Slumped on the chair, looking at the antique scrap of paper made of leather with an unresponsive and decadent look.
He kept muttering to himself incessantly.

A bronze mirror placed on the table behind him suddenly flashed golden.
The smooth mirror surface began to deform.
A human face pressed against the smooth copper mirror's surface, as if trying to get out of the mirror.
The face slowly turned and spoke, “Ryan, have you found it?”

Thud! The decadent dean, Ryan, who was slumped on a chair, came to life in an instant.
He jumped off the chair and fell to the ground in fright.
There was no trace of surprise on his face regarding the voice that could be heard from behind.
Still, he crawled over in a desperate manner.
Looking up and pleading at the face inside the mirror.
With tears and snot flowing freely down his face, Ryan said, “Not yet….
No.”

“Ah, that's it.
I already searched that place’s inside and outside hundreds of times and still couldn't find it.
The scroll that was already determined not to be here, unexpectedly appeared right here….”

“My lord, I….”

The face in the mirror looked down at the person in front of him.
Ryan was still begging desperately.
He nodded slowly and said, “Don't worry, as a mason, you are excellent.
I will notify the Ministry of Security.
We will take care of your wife and children, as well as your illegitimate child who is studying in the Duchy of Kasmi.”

As soon as he said this, Ryan’s lifeless and distressed eyes instantly lit up.
The old dean bowed again and again.

“Thank you….
Thank you very much, sir.
Thank you.”

The face in the mirror silently nodded.
Next, a golden light flashed and the bronze mirror returned to its original state.
Apparently, the so-called elder had left.
Ryan stood up slowly.
A relaxed smile appeared on his face.
It was a relief.

Ryan took out a rope from the cabinet and hung it on the beam of the room.
He then made a circle with the rope by tying a knot.
The rope was slowly wrapped around his neck and tightened.
The smile on his face grew brighter and brighter.
He stared at his feet and kicked the chair under him.
His entire body was shaking.
There was a guttural cracking sound coming from his throat.
After a while, there was only silence….
