In this way, Dylan added a new project to his daily schedule, that is, to attend lectures at the Academy of Magic.

Of course, regarding the casting and practice of the magic of the five departments, this is an internal arrangement of the academy, and outsiders are never allowed to participate. Therefore, Dylan mainly learns the history and basic cognition of the five systems of magic.

Because it seemed to him that since his mother had discovered that there were many commonalities and connections between different magics, he would be able to verify his mother's conjecture by studying carefully.

During this time, Dylan did learn many things that he didn't know before.

For example, the restraint between the five types of magic.

Earth overcomes water, water overcomes fire, fire overcomes wind, wind overcomes earth, and the holy light system that is independent of these four attributes is a special existence, and the holy light spell does not restrain the other four attributes, and at the same time, the four attributes of earth, water, fire, and wind do not restrain the holy light attribute.

On this point, Dylan is indeed the first time he has heard of it.

Among the five major systems of magic, fire-based magic has the most lethality and the weakest defense. The three types of magic of wind, earth, and water are relatively balanced.

The Holy Light spells, on the other hand, focus on auxiliary defense, and their offensive attributes are much weaker than the other four attributes.

And then there's the knowledge about magic scrolls. A magic scroll is a scroll made by a powerful magician that can cast different spells instantly. Only a high-level magician can make a magic scroll, and the items required to make the scroll are extremely expensive, and the scroll paper alone is not cheap.

The paper that can carry magical power is made from the bark of the "Xingbo Ancient Tree". And the Xingbo Ancient Tree grows in the Ancient Forest, which is extremely far away from the Garneman Empire.

Mages need to coat this paper with a layer of magic stone powder and then engrave magic spells on it in order to make magic scrolls.

Although magic scrolls are extremely expensive to make, they are extremely common among high-level magicians, because they are very convenient to use, and they can cast magic instantly without reciting spells, which can be very useful in actual combat, and sometimes even save their own lives.

Therefore, high-level magicians will have some magic scrolls on their bodies in case they need them.

Dylan is also very interested in this kind of information. It's just that he really wants to know what the advantages and disadvantages of the shadow magic he practiced compared to the magic of the five systems?

And with the help of the rich young master Donald, Dylan also successfully obtained the right to freely enter and leave the college library. How did Donald do it? Quite simply, there was only one word, and that was money.

The caretaker of the academy was not a wealthy person in the first place, and when he saw two boxes of gold coins placed in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow the squirming Adam's apple, which showed the inevitable success of Donald's buy-out plan.

For such a good resource, Dylan will certainly cherish it very much. Flipping through various magic books in the library every day soon became a habit for Dylan.

However, such an uneventful day, which lasted less than a month, was broken by a tavern farce.

On this day, Dylan and the three of them arrived together at a tavern, which, according to Donald, was also a property of their Harvey family.

When it came to his own home's territory, Donald was naturally very relieved, there was no way anyone would dare to make trouble in their tavern, right?

But it backfired, and there were really some guys who didn't have long eyes, and they played a drunken mania in the tavern.

In order not to affect his business, the bartender of the tavern decided to kick out the troublemaker, but no one expected that the man suddenly fell to the ground in the push and shove with the bartender, and then foamed at the mouth, and soon died.

All of a sudden, the tavern was in complete chaos. You must know that once a catering shop dies, the impact on the business is very great.

Was it because there was a problem with the drink and was poisoned, or was it because the bartender moved and beat the person to death? Such speculation would soon spread throughout the imperial capital, and when the time came, the tavern that had the accident would never want to continue to open.

Shortly after the troublemaker died, the sound of a large number of guards rushing to the place was heard from the streets.

When the guards entered the door and saw the body lying on the ground, they immediately restrained the bartender, saying that they were going to take it back to the court for investigation.

Donald had never seen such a formation, and he stood there in shock and horror at that moment, not knowing what to do. Instead, Dylan was the first to stand up.

"You can't take people away!" Dylan said to the guards he led. He spoke out to stop him, but he actually noticed something strange about things.

Today's Dylan, who is a third-level shadow mage, has an extremely keen perception of any creature below the third-level strength in the nearby streets. When Dylan first arrived at the tavern, he noticed a large group of guards not far away, who had remained where they were.

To say that these guards were patrolling the city, Dylan categorically did not believe it, because they had been in one place for more than half an hour.

At the time, Dylan didn't pay much attention to this, thinking they were on a mission.

However, as soon as the troublemaker fell to the ground, the Imperial Guards, who had not moved, rushed in the direction of the tavern without hesitation. How did they learn so quickly that someone was dead in the tavern?

Based on the above two points, Dylan was able to conclude that this matter was by no means simple, and it was very likely that there was some huge conspiracy hidden.

Seeing that Dylan was blocking the way, the guard immediately sneered and said, "What kind of thing are you, you dare to obstruct our court from arresting criminals?"

Dylan said without fear: "When the incident happened just now, several of us were present, and you didn't even ask us a question, and you just took people away, I think it's a little inappropriate to do this?"

The guard at the head obviously didn't expect that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy would dare to confront him so justifiably, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then the mockery on his face became a little stronger: "When will our inquisition need to be approved by you, a little civilian?"

With that, the guard prepared to take his men and force out.

But Dylan said to the other bartender in the tavern, "Go and close the door, and no one will want to leave here until we get things done today." ”

The bartender was already frightened by this time, and when he heard Dylan's command, he almost instinctively obeyed and closed the door tightly.

The guard's face suddenly turned gloomy: "Little bastard, get out of the way!" said as the guard prepared to forcibly knock Dylan away.

However, now Dylan reacts extremely quickly, and dodges with a dodge. After the guard hit the air, one of them almost fell to the ground, and suddenly became angry, and shouted angrily: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly tie him up for me!"

For a moment, there was chaos in the tavern, tables and chairs fell to the ground, wine glasses toppled over, bottles shattered, and the other drinkers in the tavern also screamed in panic.

However, Dylan was still able to calmly dodge under the joint arrest of more than a dozen guards.

The reason why Dylan wants to do this is actually very simple, he just wants to delay the time, until someone from the Harvey family can arrive in time.

If the bartender was really taken away, then even if the tavern was innocent, the bartender would most likely be beaten into a trick, which was Dylan's first reaction. That's why he stopped the guards who were trying to leave as soon as possible, giving people time to report to the Harvey family.

In Dylan's view, what is happening today in the tavern must have been premeditated. Otherwise, why would the soldiers wait outside for something to happen and then rush to arrest them?
