I don’t know what Rose is planning, maybe there’s really some plot, or maybe it’s just taking responsibility individually. If you dismantle the school’s Array, you have to compensate the school with one.

In short, at Rose’s request, Hilia agreed with Blake to help design the school’s Array, while retaining the Seven Towers.

However, she could only help with the design; she couldn’t implement it because she still needed to go to the ancient ruins.

Another important reason is that if people saw her directing the reconstruction of the school’s Array, the calm school life might be gone forever.

The same goes for the Holy Court. Hilia didn’t want to face Mr. Alvis.

So, Hilia spent a day sketching a rough plan and process for the Array reconstruction for Blake.

After finishing, Rose said, "Give this to that bishop, he will know what to do."

Hilia replied, "Will Mr. Alvis just throw this away like it’s trash?"

"That bishop is very blunt, but he won’t discard something valuable. Just like last time, he didn’t throw away the Pollution Suppression Array you gave him, but chose to use it while questioning you.

"And even if he throws it away, so be it. It’s just a rough sketch, not the actual Array. If he doesn’t accept it, it’s merely a day’s loss. If he doesn’t accept it, you might witness the principal and the bishop in a squabble, which is quite amusing."

Hilia tossed the pen aside and gathered the dozen or so sketches, holding them up high to examine.

"What I rushed to finish in a day... I can’t quite understand it."

"It’s normal not to understand it. It’s supposed to be a sketch, actually just an idea. High-tier Array Masters will naturally understand. A real sketch, given your level, would take a month to draw well."

"Alright then."

After getting it done, Hilia contacted Blake, handed him the pile of drafts, and told him to let the High-tier Array Masters see them. They would understand.

Blake, upon receiving the sketches, burst into laughter: "Great, great, once the Array is reconstructed, I’ll personally apply for Array subsidies from the Holy Court for you, every month!"

"Thank you, Principal."

Hilia didn’t take it to heart.

The school’s subsidies have always been there, but compared to the current expenses, they’re a bit insufficient.

Hilia didn’t demand any remuneration for these sketches, whether the school provides it or not is inconsequential. It’s just giving back to the school, appreciating its training.

After receiving the sketches, Blake immediately contacted Alvis and the Holy Master, heading straight to the meeting room of the Huijin Divine Hall.

In the meeting room, Blake gave the sketches to Alvis.

Then, with an air of leisure, he sipped the secret brew, smiling, "I don’t understand this either, Mr. Alvis, take a look yourself. Can this method preserve the Seven Towers?"

The Holy Master looked helplessly at Blake, "You really have no shame, going to ask her for this."

"Respecting every Mage in a field I don’t understand has always been my guiding principle."

Alvis snorted, "Haven’t seen you respect me."

"If you spoke nicer, would I need to confront you directly?"

Alvis said no more, immersed in reading the sketches.

Besides him, there were a few Array Masters in the meeting room who took the sketches Alvis had finished with and looked them over, making clicking sounds.

"Didn’t expect it could be done this way."

"This idea is very clever. Just a small modification, and the remnants of the Array can be recycled."

"And it allows for gradual clearing of the leftover residues during utilization, without affecting the operation of the Array."

"The Starlight Seven Towers is used as bait, disguising the Array as a Starlight Seven-Tower Type. If someone tries to attack the seven towers’ weaknesses using the Starlight Seven-Tower Type method, they’ll immediately face the fiercest attack. Great idea!"

"I don’t think I’d be able to design this in ten years."

"Wonderful, simply wonderful, it feels almost like the handiwork of a God."

"..."

Alvis said nothing, and upon hearing the murmuring of the other Array Masters, the Holy Master was a bit surprised. He turned to Blake, asking in a low voice, "Blake, did you ask Miss Hilia to draft this?"

Blake nodded with a smile, "What do you think, Holy Master, didn’t I see the right person?"

The Holy Master neither agreed nor disagreed, looking toward Alvis.

About an hour later, Alvis, putting down all the sketches, said, "This approach is feasible, very imaginative, but it indeed can preserve the Seven Towers. From this sketch, I can tell the Array Master has ideas but lacks practical implementation capability, just describing the ideas and key points without involving the specific construction of the Array."

Alvis looked to Blake as he spoke, "Mr. Blake, did Miss Hilia say she wrote this, or who did write this?"

Blake laughed softly, "Of course, I said it’s a gift bestowed by the God."

"That again," Alvis frowned.

"I sort of believe it too, what if a God really gave guidance? Wouldn’t that be nice?"

Alvis replied, "You’re already Tier Six, why do you still believe in such things as gifts from the God? The last recorded divine descent was five hundred years ago, too long ago to know if it’s true history."

The Holy Master coughed heavily, "Mr. Alvis, some things shouldn’t be spoken lightly. Divine descents are real history. Five hundred years isn’t long; Holy-tier Mages have lifespans that long. Perhaps some of those forgotten Holy-tier Mages, having survived from the Era of Calamity to now, might still exist."

Alvis closed his mouth.

Because that’s the truth. Starting from Tier Four, human lifespan begins to extend. At Tier Six, one can live over two hundred years, and above Tier Seven, one lives even longer.

To the young, five hundred years is a distant era. But to those ’old things’ we aren’t sure are still alive, it might seem like it happened yesterday.

What if someone really has seen a God?

"Can this sketch be used for the reconstruction of the Protective Array of the Divine Magic Academy?"

"Yes." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Then that’s fine. Any other matters?" The Holy Master said, looking at Blake, "If there’s nothing else, let’s end the meeting."

"There are some minor matters regarding the Holy Daughter candidates’ small test..."

...

In the dormitory, Hilia was checking her belongings.

"I only made 6 Scrolls in the end, two defensive, two supportive, and two offensive, not enough. I can only make do with First and Second Tier ones."

"The Magic Puppet will have to wait for Doris to send materials. Currently, I have two sets of Tier Two Combination Skills and one set of a Tier One Combination Skill."

Hilia took out a brand new Magic Staff. This staff was no longer just a simple small stick but looked very much like a question mark. In the curve of the question mark was embedded an Advanced Magic Crystal, which cost Hilia 20 Gold Coins, equivalent to the price of a special attribute artificial Heart of the Magic Puppet.

The least popular low-grade natural Heart of the Magic Puppet was also at this price.

Magic Crystals are highly concentrated Magic Power crystals. Advanced Magic Crystals can automatically charge, and Mages can actively charge them. They hold high value, whether used for decomposition as material for runes or embedded in weaponry, they are excellent materials.

"I won’t be buying armor, I can’t afford it. It’ll be fine, there’s a mentor leading, we won’t possibly encounter a desperate situation, right?"

The girl felt relieved.
