In Arnold's opinion, the probability that Kelsusa was a member of the Royal Sky Mage Council was very low, and if he was really an archmage, then his excuse for prevaricating himself and Lily should not be so clumsy, as long as he had a little magic knowledge, it was easy to detect the problem in Kelsusa's words.

However, no matter what kind of secret Kelsusa hath had, it was not Arnold's main concern at the moment, and his main focus should still be on testing the Rupert family. Of course, it is rare to meet a special mage, and Arnold will naturally not let go of the opportunity to take advantage of Kelsusa.

Looking at Kelsusa's face, Arnold estimated the limits of the other's drinking.

"So, what are you here for, not just to admire Blackstone, right?" Arnold took a sip of wine and asked Kelsusa, "I don't think Blackstonepeak is beautiful, desolate, and dangerous. ”

"Ah, it's really cool, but isn't it amazing that there is such a bustling city in such a square and cool place?" Kelsusa looked a little drunk, and his stuttering became unclear, "Although Fang is cool, there are precious ores buried everywhere here, one-seventh of the gold, gold, gold, and gold production of the entire empire, and one-third of the silver, silver, silver, silver, and silver production, all of which come from the Futagan Domain. Think about it, but now under our feet is an unimaginably large mountain of gold! Isn't it worth a visit for that alone? Maybe you can pick up a random stone on the mountain, and there will be glittering gold and gold in it—"

Lily's ears pricked up at the sight of the gold, especially when she heard Kelsusa's report on the gold and silver production of the Fattagan collar, her eyes seemed to glow.

"One-third of the silver production! There are so many, aren't all the people in the Forta Gen Territory the Rich?" Lily thought back to the neat streets she had seen after entering the city, all of which were paved with stone bricks, which might not be visible even in Lionheart's Castle, "Hey, isn't that the Black Stone Palace made of gold and silver?"

Kelsusa looked at Lily with interest, her misty eyes a little drunk, and her head swaying. "Ha, it is true that there is a lot of gold and silver in the Fortagan Territory, but not all of the gold and silver mined out are the Fortagan Territory, after all, it is just a small and tiny county, if you really swallow all the wealth to yourself, the surrounding fathers-in-law and dukes will not agree. In the Vortagan Domain, not all mines belong to the lords, and many of the mines are divided between the three fathers-in-law of Tamska, Northville, and Figraf, of course, the royal family also has a share, but over the years, the royal family has been able to get less and less of the share from here. ”

Lily nodded as if she didn't understand, which made Arnold on the side can't help but roll his eyes, he didn't believe that Lily wouldn't understand this, and even he felt that Lily was just knowingly asking.

Maybe it's a tacit understanding, at least it looks like Lily is helping Arnold test the mage.

"Moreover, gold and silver minerals account for only a fraction of the mineral output of the Vortagan Territory, and in fact, the most important treasures of the Vortagan Territory are still those rare and rare metals. Kelsusa continued, looking at his shaking appearance, it seemed that he would get drunk at any time, but his speech was still very clear, but he was a little slurred, "Black Stone Peak is simply a god-sent treasure, no wonder those dwarves have to go to great lengths to occupy this place, not to mention anything else, but the output of those magic crystals is enough to make the Sky Mage Council red-eyed." ”

Lily sucked her fingers, looking confused.

"Mana crystals, are those things worth more than gold?"

"Gold, how can that thing be compared to the magic crystal!" Kelsusa seemed to be a little drunk, and he cried out with a red neck, "Compare gold with magic crystals, it is like comparing imperial gold with gold, there is no gold content at all, it is pure rubbish!"

Arnold looked at Kelsusa coldly and said nothing.

"Really?" asked Lily, crooking her neck, "The magic crystal has always been hidden and tucked by your mage, I haven't seen it yet, is there any glittering gold that looks good?"

"Of course. Krsusa smiled mysteriously, but the feeling of profundity was immediately dissipated by one of his burps.

"You—look. As he spoke, he pulled out a magic crystal the size of a fist from his robe.

Arnold lowered his head under the table curiously, wanting to see what Kelsusa's cloth robe was made of, first a cat ran out of it, and then pulled out a fist-sized magic crystal, where did he put these things?

Regardless of Arnold's side, Lily's eyes lit up when she saw the magic crystal in Kelsea's hand, staring at the magic crystal that was enough to illuminate the entire tavern.

And the other guests in the tavern were all looking sideways, although Vortagan had produced magic crystals, but it was the first time they had seen such a large one.

"It's so beautiful—" Lily exclaimed, indeed, the magic crystal in Kelsusa's hand was even brighter than a diamond. This crystal is completely blue, and under the smooth edges of the cut, the light is refracted layer by layer, shining like a star in the night. In addition to its dazzling brilliance, this magic crystal also exudes bursts of coldness, as if the dazzling light is not the crystal, but the extremely cold ice.

Arnold looked up and saw this magic crystal, and his eyes couldn't help but show a little strangeness.

Krsusa seemed pleased with the reaction, smug and raised her hand a little so that more people could see the magic crystal.

However, just as he was beaming, Mr. Bigswow, who had been lying on his stomach in a piece of dried fish, suddenly jumped up, wondering if he had taken the magic crystal in Kelsusa's hand as a dried fish, and grabbed it in one gulp, and then grabbed it and ran, and in a few moments, the cat's agile figure disappeared into the tavern.

Kelsusa was stunned for a moment, then jumped up, and the most precious magic crystal was robbed, and he was so frightened that he woke up from his wine, and hurried to chase Mr. Bigswolf.

"Wait, Mr. Bigswolf, that thing can't be eaten, come back quickly! I'll come back and buy you lots and lots of dried fish!ahhh

Arnold and Lily watched speechlessly as a flaming Kersusa chased after Mr. Bigswolf, and in a few moments, his figure disappeared from view.

The image of Arnold with the elegance and aristocracy that Krsusa had left at the beginning had faded......

"What a mischievous cat—" Lily leaned her cheek on her arm and leaned on the table with her face sideways, "but that magic crystal is big, isn't it?"

"It's huge, it's surprisingly big. Arnold took a sip of wine, his eyes narrowed slightly, "The standard size of the magic crystal is the size of a thumb, and the size of a pigeon's egg is already enough for the mages to compete for, and his one is actually the size of a fist, this kind of thing he not only dares to carry with him, but also shows it in public, I really don't know if this Kelsusa mage is smart or stupid." ”

"Heart of Frost. ”

"What?" Arnold was stunned, turning his head to look at Lily.

"That's the Heart of Frost, one of the six treasures of the Council of Sky Mages. At this moment, there was no smile on Lily's face, and the innocence and laughter just now were put away by her, "The Frost Heart is the largest magic crystal found so far, and it is also the only magic crystal whose magic power will never be exhausted, in other words, the magic power stored in this magic crystal is almost endless, and having it is equivalent to having a magic power reserve that will never be exhausted." ”

"Y-You're not kidding, are you?" Arnold couldn't help but be frightened by Lily, if it was really as Lily said, that thing had endless magical power, then its value would probably be coveted even by the gods, "So, then, is it true, that magic crystal, really the heart of frost?"

Lily glanced around, then continued to say casually, "It should be true, but I'm not entirely sure, the magic on it is so large that it seems to be pouring out of another dimension in my perception. But I'm not 100% sure that the magic crystal is just another crystal with a very large amount of mana, and not the real Frost Heart. But even if it wasn't the true Frost Heart, its value would be immeasurable based on its magical reserves. ”

"So......" Arnold pondered, since Lily had said so, he could only choose to believe and accept, "That Kelsusa, is he really a member of the Sky Mage Council, he is an archmage?"

Arnold couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous when he thought of his previous inference, no matter how he looked at Kelsusa, he didn't look like a respected archmage, however, the evidence given by Lily was in favor of Arnold's impossibility of being impossible.

"Maybe you have some misunderstanding about the Sky Mage Council, but in fact, not all members of the Royal Sky Mage Council are archmages. Lily shrugged her shoulders and continued her explanation, "There are some talented young mages who will be favored by the archmages and become their heirs. In order to better cultivate, the archmages will bring their disciples into the Council of Sky Mages, so that they can learn more about magic, and at the same time, their loyalty to the royal family can be established as soon as possible. ”

"You mean, Kelsusa may not be an archmage, but may just be a disciple of an archmage?" Arnold visibly felt the drinkers around him breathe a little heavier as he said this.

"Anyway, I don't believe that a guy in his twenties will be an archmage, according to the mages, magic is such a thing, it needs to be accumulated little by little with life, powerful magicians are very long-lived, on the other hand, only by living a long time can you become a powerful magician. ”

"If you say that......" Arnold's expression became more and more solemn, he really couldn't understand the reason why Krsusa took out such an important treasure in public, either Kelsusa was a fool, or he had other plans.

Thinking back to the scene from the encounter with Kelsusa in front of the city gates, Arnold became more and more suspicious, and finally he set his eyes on Lily.

By this moment the blonde girl had regained her usual expression, and was eating the small dried fish that Mr. Bigswow had left behind.

Do you think you're a cat?

Obviously, the question he wanted to ask was very serious, but seeing Lily's movements, Arnold couldn't help but complain in his heart.

However, this made Arnold a little more suspicious of Lily in his heart, with his way of thinking, it is difficult to understand why Lily deliberately made a naïve and stupid appearance anyway, obviously things are very clear, but she deliberately shows that she doesn't understand every time, and only when she needs to, she will show the serious look just now.

Arnold also couldn't figure it out, Lily seemed to have deliberately said those words in public, deliberately carrying Kelsusa as a treasure, and at the same time, the news that Kelsusa herself was not very powerful, as if unintentionally, told those who had long coveted it in the tavern.

And this, Kelsusa is the same, thinking carefully about Kelsusa's actions just now, he seems to be deliberately telling others that he has a treasure, but Arnold can't figure out why he did it.

"Do you like cats?" asked Lily, abruptly, interrupting Arnold's thoughts.
