For His Royal Highness the Prince's "affectionate confession", Loren didn't pay attention to it at all, and even lazily coped with it, showing his loyalty with "gratitude".

When he was at Ebolden, he had seen the speed at which Brandon changed his face, this is a liar who is not below or even beyond himself, and he is really stupid when he is real.

It's better that if he did, Brandon would have disbelieved in himself even more.

The tacit understanding between the two sides was partly based on trust and more on interest - Brandon needed a skilled and trustworthy "wizard advisor", while Loren needed the "protection" of his status as a prince, the conveniences it brings, and an agreed title that would make it impossible for the Night's Watch to do it to him.

The more suspicious a person is, the more expensive the price of loyalty, and human nature is so pathetic.

Trust is a luxury.

"Just one day?!"

The little wizard lying on the table screamed, his pale expression as if he had heard bad news, and pounced in front of Loren, a "stubborn" hair standing on the top of his head.

"Uh... That's right, we'll have to leave early tomorrow morning. The black-haired wizard, who didn't know how to answer, scratched his head and twitched the corners of his mouth: "Originally, I was indeed going to stay for three days, but... Something went wrong. ”

"Well... I understand. Ain, who was muttering in a low voice, slowly sat back in her seat, and the word disappointment was almost written directly on her face.

"I'm sorry, it's not for me to decide, if I can......"

"It's okay, I can understand that. Although still a little disappointed, the little wizard barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and shook his head "nonchalantly":

"We're heading to the Broken Mountain Fortress, aren't we? we can't afford to waste too much time in a place like this, and besides, winter is almost here. ”

Looking at Ain's smile full of understanding, disappointed but still not caring, Loren's mood was a little dull - those words just now were originally intended to be used to persuade the little wizard, but she comforted him.

Both seemed to fall silent at the same time.

"Uh... The ...... seemed to be some kind of instinct, trying to break the awkward Loren's hesitant opening, but suddenly found that he had nothing to say: "I want to say ......"

"Poof—" The little wizard laughed at once.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't said it yet, can I laugh when I'm done?"

"Well, I don't blame you. Gently holding the black-haired wizard's hands, Ain's eyes narrowed into crescents, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a faint smile:

"Let's talk about something happy, is your sword still there?"

"The sword?"

"Bright Silver, our common achievement. The little wizard blinked, "Remember how we did it in the first place?"

"Of course, Isaac came up with a whole new equation for building runes - but he actually failed in the end, and the person who actually completed the final step was Dean Peter. Loren didn't forget to remind, "Oh, by the way, don't tell Isaac about it." ”

"No need, he'll find out for himself!" It seems that every time Isaac is mentioned, the little wizard's face will show a little helpless and tangled expression:

"Anyway, even though we were done, the structure was actually very unstable – it only lasted about 10 seconds at most, and then it had to go into a cooling state, and every time we used it again, it took a lot of energy and a lot of load. ”

"But that's perfect, really, I've been saved by it more than once. ”

Shrugging his shoulders, the black-haired wizard said with some emotion: "And didn't Isaac himself say that it is difficult for the power of the void to be stabilized, so ......"

Noticing that the smiling Al Yin was already staring at him motionlessly, Loren suddenly stopped: "You—are you going to say... Unlikely, right?"

"We're wizards, Loren. The little wizard's smile was also tinged with pride:

"We were born to create the impossible!"

............................................................

"As we all know, our world is an overlapping existence of reality and void, and all sudden phenomena and magic, and even incomprehensible common sense, can be interpreted as the interaction between the two worlds. ”

"Whether it's combining ancient runes and using magic according to certain rules, or using the properties of the Void to create alchemical items with special abilities - what we do is indirectly using, using the 'erosion' and 'deception' properties of the void itself to achieve our goals. ”

"Is it really possible, then, to make the power of the void truly available to us, not indirectly, but directly, to make this terrible power a 'power' like the wind, the flames, and the water?"

"I've heard a lot of talk about it, and most of them think I'm an incomprehensible madman - oh, and maybe it's the poor, head-filled potatoes who can keep them living in the 'I've got brains, I'm smart, I'm not a fool, that guy is crazy'!"

"We are wizards, we really need to keep a clear mind and reason at all times, but we also need to understand and think beyond common sense, people who are bound by rules, subconscious, and common sense are not qualified to call themselves wizards!"

"As I said, they are a bunch of jugglers, drug-sellers, fortune-tellers, and god-dancers, plus wheel-fixing and toilet drains—nothing disrespectful, for the title 'wizard' is very inappropriate for them. ”

"We are wizards, we were born to create the impossible!"

In the underground laboratory of the Crucible Academy, Isaac Grantham, who was standing at a table, slowly raised his arms, raised his chin proudly, and pointed to the blackboard behind him with his small hand:

"Loren Turin, Ain Rand and this ...... Your Excellency Oni Alchemist, please be prepared to throw yourself to the ground and be completely frightened into tears by the supreme wisdom of this genius!"

The three people sitting in front of him didn't have time to complain, silently looking at the blackboard full of runes. Loren and the little wizard were fine, because they had expected it, so nothing out of the ordinary had happened.

A second later, the Omni alchemist of the Crucible Academy was completely stunned:

"You've figured out a way to make the Void Power release steadily, how is this—how is this possible?!"

"Yes, it's impossible, no one has ever done it, it's completely unheard of!" Isaac walked down, his hands behind his back and the corners of his mouth cocked, "Except for me!"

"Dear gentlemen, those who want to applaud can already start!" but the next second he bowed his hand in disgust: "Forget it, we're underground—if you applaud too enthusiastically, maybe I'll get tinnitus or something...... Anyway, I'm going to allow you to suppress your unparalleled longing for a while, and tell me how much you adore me when you leave this underground lab!"

Although Isaac was still talking there, the stunned Oni alchemist had already laid directly on the blackboard, his wide eyes trembling slightly:

"This, this... If this design really has the slightest feasibility, all the existing alchemy techniques will be overturned and restarted - the Holy Cross is on it, this is completely making history!"

"Make history?" Isaac, who heard the other party's words, smashed his mouth: "Uh...... I'll leave this kind of thing to the potatoes, it sounds like a lot of trouble. ”

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Ain, who was coughing continuously, interrupted Isaac, who was about to chatter, and walked to the alchemist Omni, who was still lying on the blackboard and "continued to be shocked":

"As you can see, we have a new rune construction equation that allows the Void Power to be released steadily and channeled through alchemy items. ”

"It's just...... There's a little trouble here. ”

"That's right, if you want to experiment with this new build, a normal level of forging hammers and tools is no longer enough, it must be a level like Earthshaker, so that the sterling silver can be smelted enough to carry it. ”

Still stunned, Oni nodded silently, and looked at the three people in front of him with wide eyes:

"The Crucible Academy will do everything in its power to support you. Say, what else is needed?"
