It took a long time for Ian to recover, and he quickly became sane and conscious.

In the old man's life, there were only two times when he lost control of his emotions, but those were all in the past, and now he is several times more mature than he was at the beginning.

"Thank you for what you did, Your Excellency Mu Yan, but it's irrational." The old man shook his head, and his eyes towards Mu Yan became softer.

"You're still very thin, and you shouldn't tear your face with Kane's horns......"

"I didn't tear my face with them, Mr. Ian." Mu Yan smiled, "If their people come to the door, I will not only apologize, but also send Mr. Gao Wen a manuscript fee - he was the one who received me in the first place, and he has to have a share of this matter." ”

"You ......"

Ian couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

"Forget it, young man, it's right to be young and vigorous. I guess the big guys up there won't notice you. However, you have to beware of them, they may be secretly stumbling on you in the future, after all, the people of Kane's Horn are not very easy to get along with. ”

After saying that, he remembered to get down to business.

"What about our previous deals...... You seem to be interested in 'Magical Refining'? ”

"That's right, I'm really interested in this part, especially about the collection, transformation, and storage of 'low-level magic', and I know that you are the only one in the entire Horse Plain who has carried out relevant research."

Ian bowed slightly, "That's it...... So, let's take a step to speak? ”

Mu Yan was slightly stunned, glanced at Wendell, who was still angry behind the other party, and laid a layer of soundproof enchantment.

Seeing his movements, Ian was satisfied.

"You're a cautious young man, that's good."

"Hmm...... You've won a prize. Mu Yan smiled, "What about our deal......"

Ian shook his head and didn't continue to talk about it, but changed the subject.

"Yesterday afternoon, the two Magician Advisors in Kane's Horn woke up from their coma, and they both happened to be my students, and at my request, they each wrote down a few of the patterns you left on your headband. It's not comprehensive, but it's enough for me to study for a while. ”

Mu Yan's expression became serious.

"You...... What is the meaning? ”

Ian smiled, "Don't be so nervous, little one. To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such a strange magic pattern. There are seven of them, the first of which can be mastered by a clever apprentice, but the other six naturally form a system that is distinct from it...... I heard them say that with this magic pattern, you can achieve a change in the wearer's spirit, and even immerse him in illusions...... I think that's a bit incredible.

"Although my field of study is not demonic patterns, I still have some experience with the things involved in the flow of magic in magic patterns. I didn't find any trace of the six closed-loop patterns channeling magic to the Austenite patterns, they were in completely different worlds as they seemed...... I was curious about this, so I made some attempts to simulate the flow of mana in the magic pattern, but these attempts all ended in one result - a triggered trap with stable performance. Or rather, bombs. ”

The old man said, taking something out of his sleeve.

This is an experimental board that depicts magic patterns, and is sawn into a 20-centimeter-high cylindrical disc that simulates a headband.

"I can't build a magic pattern in a fading stone like you do, so I can only make you laugh in such a simple way."

As he said, the motifs on the discs were loosely engraved, as ridiculous as a child's doodle, not as perfectly and psychedelic as the headbands.

But Mu Yan couldn't laugh at all......

This is undoubtedly another way to crack......

And on the right track.

He was very surprised, if he continued to study the old man like this, these six compound magic patterns that he casually made would be analyzed, not to mention reaching the power of the original, at least he could figure out the general direction of himself.

I really underestimated the wisdom of this group of old scholars......

"I don't have a mana crystal at hand as its energy source, so I have to use a mana potion instead, as long as I take a drop and unlock this closed loop in any part, it will explode......"

As he spoke, the old man reached out to operate.

At this moment, a pair of hands reached out to stop him.

"You're right, these six patterns are fake, and they're all explosives." Mu Yan simply showdowned: "This was originally a fishing bait, and Kane's horn bit it without hesitation." ”

"So...... You guessed from the beginning that they would do it? Ian asked again, an inexplicable glint in his eyes.

"That's right." Mu Yan said briskly, and asked rhetorically: "What about you?" Why help me hide it? Looks like you didn't have the idea of telling it to Kanehorn, did you? ”

"I'm not helping you, boy. It's also an investment. Ian sighed.

"The older I get, the more I feel how wise my father was. He knew very well the temperament of the three of us, so he invested in us separately.

"I was smart and talented since I was a child, and I got the most money and was sent to Jialan Academy. The eldest brother is the most honest, got the real estate in his hometown, and now he is a carefree baron with peace of mind. The second brother was playful and active by nature, and his father simply bought a good sword and a good horse and sent him to be a mercenary...... Now I have become a scholar after experiencing changes, and I have a care in the city, the eldest brother still guards the ancestral inheritance, and has not ruined a little family property, and the second brother has made a name for himself outside, but he was also broken by someone, and he went home with a sum of money more than ten years ago to support the elderly, and now he is in charge of the security of his hometown......

"So, I'll do what he did."

As he spoke, he looked at Mu Yan.

"You're a smart kid, and there's something about you that I can't see through, mysterious, fresh, and compelling. Wendell says you started a newspaper that the stupid students love it, and he says you're a shrewd businessman with a bad character. Hehe, that's all he sees, but I think you're channeling a force that others don't value...... I even think that you can help me achieve a certain dream, and as for how to achieve it, I can't imagine it.

"So I chose to tell you everything I know, it's an investment, and I'm going to advance a possibility from you. In the future, if you lose yourself like I did back then, I will only sigh and not ask too much. Again, if you succeed, I don't think I'm credited with that. After all, success is what I want to see the most. ”

The old man took a deep breath and stared at him again.

"So...... You, got it? ”

Mu Yan nodded.

"I understand."

"Good." The old man smiled, "I'm afraid that no one in the entire Silver Candle Society knows the technology of 'magic refining' better than me, and I will tell you all about my years of research, and this is only for personal reasons - because I shamelessly joined the young man's activities, solved the puzzle worth 20,000 gold coins, and took it." I had to do this in order not for you to say that I was a big bully, and it had nothing to do with the Horn of Kane, nothing to do with the Silver Candle Society. ”

"Understood, Mr. Ian Gertel, you old disrespectful bastard." Mu Yan smiled: "Then you want to come to me with that lucky person to take this money?" ”

Ian waved his hand, "Whichever one is, as long as it's not stupid." ”

Mu Yan couldn't help but spread his hands, "Then you can think too much, there is a lack of everything in the academy, that is, there is no shortage of stupid people." ”

"Do you have any good suggestions?"

"Hmm...... There's a student named Derees, and he's—"

"I see."

Ian interrupted him, and the old man turned and left with Wendell.

When he walked to the door, he suddenly glanced back at Mu Yan.

"Boy, I hope you're the one who can change all that."

"I will."

Mu Yan bowed deeply.
