Chapter 639: Chapter 0636: Dawnbreak (2nd Update)

Mage Tower.

In the Magic Academy, Chris Truth was instructing Rose and Lucy.

The twin girls were magic talents suggested by the Smoke Mission, and Liszt had specially arranged for them to study at the Magic Academy. They also indeed did not disappoint Liszt’s expectations, having completed their affinity with magic power in a short period, standing out from their peers.

Having caught Chris’s attention, they were taken as official magic apprentices.

Chris had more than once declared, “Once they grow up, they will become my successors, continuing my steps in exploring more truths!”

At that moment, a magic apprentice hurried over, “Dean, Lord Landlord has returned and has come to the Magic Academy, please go there.”

“Lord Landlord has returned already?” Chris was somewhat surprised, as normally the Pioneer Mandate wouldn’t have started at this time of the year, yet this year it had already ended and he had returned.

However, she did not hesitate, signaling the twins to try out the Fireball Technique by themselves.

She then hurried to the first floor of the Mage Tower’s Magic Academy, and upon descending the stairs, she saw a group of people inspecting the condition of the academy. Leading the group, the handsome and tall young man enveloped by the crowd was none other than that comforting, warm-hearted, and stirring Liszt Tulip, the Viscount of Black Horse Island.

Although she had sworn her life to the pursuit of truth, ordinary human emotions still controlled her, and she couldn’t help but be captivated by Liszt.

“Viscount.”

“Dean Chris.”

A simple greeting, no need for excess words.

Liszt went straight to the point, “My Pioneer Mandate has ended, and I’ve captured three Grand Magicians. They don’t have the money for a ransom, so they’ve volunteered to serve me. I plan to have them stationed at the Mage Tower, to carry out work under your command.”

The three Grand Magicians each shrank back into their hoods.

Being captured was always a bit embarrassing, not to mention that they would now have to obey a somewhat younger female Grand Magician — not that they discriminated against women, but age was the issue; each of the three Grand Magicians was over forty, while Chris was only in the prime of her twenties.

Chris looked at the three Grand Magicians and nodded, “I will arrange their work.”

Liszt turned to the three men and warned, “Your freedom will definitely be limited. You need to submit an application to leave the Mage Tower. You’re prohibited from researching anything beyond the topics that Chris has assigned, although you may submit proposals for your own research projects. You will also bear some teaching responsibilities.”

Liszt was always wary of magicians, hence his preparation of a compulsory system to manage the magicians’ research direction, pushing them to transition into scholars and researchers.

This was actually more in line with the temperament of a magician — those willing to dedicate themselves to truth already bore the aspects of a scientist.

By providing them with comfortable personal services, he believed these magicians would eventually adapt to the future he had arranged for them.

The Mage Tower had designated servants for these tasks.

Soon, arrangements were made for the living quarters of the three Grand Magicians.

On the other side, Liszt was still introducing to Chris, “These five are my Blood Servants, you might have heard of the legendary occupation of vampires, they are vampires… Mary can assist you in managing the Mage Tower, although they have been transformed into vampires for years, their magic knowledge shouldn’t be completely gone.”

“Lady Chris, it’s a pleasure to meet you. We should have a good talk when you have the time,” Bloody Mary took the initiative to extend a friendly hand.

Chris nodded her head, her attitude not very enthusiastic.

As for these suddenly appearing magicians and vampires, she needed time to accept their presence. She used to be the only Grand Magician of the Mage Tower, relied upon by everyone, and could do as she pleased. Now, not only were there three more Grand Magicians but also many more vampires.

Especially that leading vampire, who always made her feel an immense threat—nominally there to assist with managing the Mage Tower, but who knew she wasn’t there to seize power?

Actually.

Liszt had indeed considered letting Bloody Mary take over part of the Mage Tower’s authority. It was not because he held her heart in his hand, ensuring her inability to betray him and thus gaining more trust, but because he thought Chris was more suited to being a scholar than a manager, as she lacked the cunning and intrigue of the vampires.

However, he did not understand Chris.

After a moment of bewilderment, Chris quickly started her own “politic maneuvering.” In front of Liszt, she said, “Viscount, I think names like Bloody Mary and Crimson Peggy are really unsuitable for the harmonious atmosphere of the Mage Tower. It’s improper to address them as such in front of young apprentices.”

Bloody Mary and the others narrowed their eyes at once.

Proposing a name change to their face was undoubtedly a power move.

Liszt could not help but hold Chris in higher regard. He had held high positions for a long time and had some insights into politics, naturally understanding that Chris wanted to establish authority through changing names.

He was pleased to see this scenario, a combative Chris could better balance the power structure of the Mage Tower: “You make a good point. Terms like bloody, blood, and fangs are indeed inappropriate. So, Mary, what do you think about changing your name?”

Bloody Mary said with a smile, “It is entirely up to you, my lord.”

“Then let’s change the names. Magicians take Truth as their surname, while vampires see the family as a collective… You are bats that walk in the darkness in the Black Knight Family; with me, you shall see the light—let ‘Dawnbreak’ be your surname,” he proposed.

“Thank you, my lord, for granting us a new surname. From now on, I shall be Mary Dawn Break,” expressed Bloody Mary with pleasure.

She did not necessarily truly like the surname “Dawnbreak.”

But since it was a gift from Lord Landlord, it certainly held a different significance.

Although Chris had established authority by changing names, she also used this opportunity to gain new trust—bestowing a surname was an act of closeness, representing trust.

As she spoke.

She turned and smiled at Chris: “Mary Dawn Break once again greets Lady Chris Truth.”

Chris showed no particular emotion: “Hello, Mary Dawn Break.”

…

The vampires went to arrange their accommodations.

Liszt and Chris walked into her workshop alone, where a large number of finished Magic Potions were piled up, all the fruits of Chris’s labor over the past month.

Liszt, who hadn’t had a Magic Potion in a long time, urgently needed these potions to nourish his cells, which were close to drying out.

“You have worked hard, Chris.”

“It’s my duty to do so.”

After thinking for a moment, Liszt gently added, “The Mage Tower is named after you, Mary and the others are just staying temporarily. Their roles are more suited to scouting on the battlefield. You don’t need to have other ideas, these magician positions need you to manage them properly for me.”

“Viscount, I can understand your arrangement and am willing to help you manage the Mage Tower wholeheartedly.”

“That’s good.”
