My cousin is becoming a legend.

Chapter 78 Enrollment

Lynn nodded his thanks.

Meanwhile, Violet was staring at Lynn with a sinister look.

She approached at lightning speed, leaned close to his ear, and whispered a warning (or rather, a provocation):

"If you dare to plot against Eleanor, not only will those covetous nobles kill you, but I will also kill you."

Lynn hummed in response and then fell silent.

Violet clenched her fists.

She suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth as she spoke to Eleanor, who was in a good mood beside her:

"Your Majesty, now that the investiture ceremony is over, I will take Lynn with me and leave. We may need your help to write a few letters in a while, and we will come to visit you again during dinner tonight."

Eleanor nodded, a hint of reluctance on her face.

"Are you leaving so soon? I still have some small... official matters to discuss with you."

Eleanor looked pitiful.

Violet hesitated for a moment.

Finally, she said resolutely, "Your Majesty, I need to go and take Lynn to register for school, so..."

Lynn interrupted her.

"Wait, Violet, didn't you say before that enrollment was just a formality? I can go by myself. You can stay here and discuss state affairs with His Majesty, um...

Eleanor's eyes lit up, and she looked at Lynn gratefully.

Lynn's favorability towards her is increasing rapidly.

Violet was somewhat worried.

"Can you manage on your own?"

"Just tell me the general process."

Lynn didn't feel that this was difficult.

It's just a matter of enrolling in school; it feels similar to university enrollment in my previous life.

Violet glanced at Eleanor, who looked expectant, and then at Lynn, who seemed fairly reliable.

She sighed helplessly.

"Alright, then you can go by yourself."

Eleanor cheered.

Violet briefly explained the process and the location for processing.

Lynn repeated it twice and memorized it firmly.

He walked out of the castle alone, boarded a carriage, and headed west.

Lynn had just left.

Inside the castle, Eleanor, who was having tea and snacks with Violet, suddenly exclaimed.

"Oh dear, I forgot to give Lynn a present!"

Eleanor thought for a moment and wrote down a list.

She waved to the housekeeper standing to the side.

"Please send someone to deliver this item to..."

Eleanor paused for a moment, then turned to look at Violet.

Violet reminded him, "It's fine to send him to the National Academy; he'll be staying there permanently from now on."

Eleanor waved her little hand.

"Just send the things to the National Academy."

Remember, when you deliver it, be sure to loudly proclaim that it's a gift from the Queen!

......

On the carriage.

Lynn was still pondering the strange occurrence that had just happened.

It was that catastrophic, forbidden mercury that caused this.

This is the trouble caused by the Lord's Sword within Eleanor's body.

That lizard carcass might have been the vessel it used to resurrect itself.

Perhaps after he has had contact with Eleanor a certain number of times, the forbidden mercury will transfer in and take over his body.

I just don't know how many times that will be.

Perhaps by observing the growth rate of the physical body within the spiritual sea, we can roughly guess the progress of the transfer.

Salamander, the Fire Spirit.

It can only be said that it is indeed a forbidden mercury of natural disaster level, with such a high level of intelligence.

Compared to it, the Fire Python is simply a drooling idiot.

But what should we do then?

Eleanor would probably not agree to losing the Lord's Sword either.

And I probably wouldn't be able to absorb a calamity-level forbidden mercury.

This matter should be considered carefully.

But that doesn't mean giving up.

The Cataclysmic Forbidden Mercury is extremely precious, and he absolutely must obtain it.

Therefore, on the one hand, he needs to collect relevant information, and on the other hand, he also needs to control the pace of absorption.

He must have the corresponding strength before he chooses to absorb it.

There are two aspects to the problem.

First, there's Eleanor's personal safety.

Eleanor is able to sit firmly on the throne because of the Sword of the Monarch within her.

You could say she's just a mascot now, a queen in name only.

The various noble families now treat her as a living nuclear bomb.

Therefore, once she loses the Monarch's Sword, those nobles will immediately turn against her.

Lynn felt obligated to protect her.

Not only because she was the person he nominally pledged allegiance to.

But this is really a bit too unfair.

Eleanor is a good person.

He can't cheat her the way he cheated Nareel.

On the other hand...

With his current strength, he is completely unable to withstand the damage caused by absorbing this mercury.

He needs to improve his strength as soon as possible.

One reason is to absorb mercury.

On one hand, it was also to protect Eleanor, who had lost the Lord's Sword.

Lynn had made a plan in her mind.

The carriage arrived at the National Academy.

The coachman got off the carriage and walked towards the guardhouse.

All outside vehicles must register before entering.

The coachman is processing the paperwork.

Lynn waited quietly in the car.

He gazed at the exquisite gates of the academy through the car window, a strange sense of emotion welling up inside him.

Even the gates of this college are much more beautiful and exquisite than the decorations of Eleanor's castle.

These nobles have really stopped pretending.

The procedures were completed quickly.

The coachman pulled Lynn toward the college's main teaching building.

The college is very large.

The carriage will take a while to run.

Lynn gazed at the scenery in the college.

Even in autumn, the greenery on campus remains lush.

Some are cold-resistant plants.

Some of these are flowers and plants that only bloom in spring and summer.

Yet they are still blooming brightly.

Perhaps it is some kind of magic or alchemy.

Lynn thought to herself.

Soon, the carriage arrived at its destination.

Lynn got off the carriage.

He saw many students along the way.

Judging from their words and actions, most of them are from aristocratic families.

However, some of them looked like ordinary students.

It seems that this national academy has not been completely taken over by nobles.

Lynn stretched his stiff body and walked into the main teaching building.

Not long after.

He came out carrying a file folder.

Violet had already taken care of most of the formalities in advance.

The entrance ceremony went very smoothly.

Just as Violet said, he only needed to go through the motions.

"Building 13, Area C..."

Lynn told the coachman the address of the assigned dormitory.

The carriage moved slowly.

Lynn leaned back in her chair and let out a sigh of relief.

Finally, everything is taken care of.

Although there are still many worries ahead, the current situation is much better than in Nareel territory.

At least he no longer has to worry about the safety of his family, and that's enough for him.

He finally had the opportunity to develop his career in peace.

As for the comfortable campus life...

Lynn looked out the window at the peaceful campus and the men and women chatting and laughing along the roadside.

A hint of nostalgia and longing appeared in his eyes.

At least until he achieves those three goals, he can still enjoy a moment of peace.

Soon, the carriage arrived at its destination.

Although the coachman was Violet's man, he couldn't be too inconsiderate.

Lynn took out a few silver coins from his ring and handed them over.

The coachman initially shook his head in refusal, then smiled and put the money into his pocket.

The coachman smiled and said, "Sir, please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything. As long as Miss hasn't given me any instructions, I'm always ready to serve you."

Lynn nodded and saw the coachman off.

He looked at the dormitory building, which was at least ten stories high, and a question popped into his mind.

This world must have elevators, right?
