Volume 1, Chapter 70: After Dawn

By the time the Bayers left, it was close to dawn. Alexander spoke to Mick in some more detail, then let out a long yawn before saying goodbye to Mick.

Mick was seriously overdrawn that day, his eyes were already covered with thick dark circles, his eyes were bloodshot, he yawned one after another, and he drank several cups of coffee in a row that could not relieve him in the slightest.

But he didn't dare to sleep, because there was one most important person who hadn't come, and she had said that she would come to him at night to find her Lady of Flames, Kellysia.

For that woman with super high strength and a very crazy style, Mick did not dare to take it lightly. After he finished his sixth cup of coffee, he waved his hand and motioned for the butler to go and rest first.

Then leaned back in his office chair wearily, waiting for Kellysia alone. Probably because he was so tired, Mick fell asleep not long after he got down.

At this time, the sky has already revealed the whiteness of the fish's belly. In 1696 finally the first morning of November came, and Maltis reawakened.

In the early morning of this day, the major newspapers of Maltisse were very busy.

Last night, after the editor-in-chief and reporters left the gold coins and dreams, they immediately returned to the newspaper office, wrote hundreds of press releases overnight, and then handed them over to the printing workshop for printing.

Early the next morning, a large number of fresh newspapers were baked and shipped to thousands of homes in Maltisse.

Those who could afford newspapers read all sorts of eye-catching headlines from the newspapers over breakfast, but no matter how exaggerated the headlines, they said one thing: the magical alchemy conference that attracted the super-powerful.

There were too many incredible anecdotes at the press conference, and it was like a thrilling adventure after being slightly processed by the reporters. This immediately caused a huge sensation and then spawned a phenomenal discussion.

Everyone was excitedly discussing the matter, and the magical time potion, rebirth potion, and magic inscription suddenly spread through the streets of Maltis, and Mick's name became the hottest topic of the moment.

By word of mouth, even the homeless people on the street know that a young alchemical star has appeared in Maltisse, who has the ability to create new creations that will change the entire world, and he himself may take the place of Master Frank, the empire's chief magical alchemist.

The heat of the discussion has not weakened slightly, and at noon another bombshell news came out, Mick will donate the method of magic inscription to the empire for free, and the military department will select twenty excellent magic alchemists to learn magic inscription from Master Mick.

The news almost immediately pushed Mick's popularity to the top. Almost all of them admired his selflessness, as well as his loyalty to the Empire.

Everyone is saying that compared to those miser-like alchemists, Mick is like a holy white lotus, a true clear stream.

With the help of well-intentioned people, the news that the disciple Peki and Mick held a magic alchemy conference on the same day was brought out again, which immediately caused everyone to discuss.

Immediately afterwards, some lace tabloids suddenly released news, exposing the various suppressions carried out by Master Frank against Mick.

Including temporarily snatching the venue of the press conference, arranging for an insider to prepare to sabotage Mick's press conference, and even openly posting big-character posters to describe Mick as a big scam, etc.

At the headquarters of the Imperial Royal Alchemist Guild, Master Frank sat alone in his office, and Peggy was so devastated that he locked himself in the laboratory as soon as he returned, while the other disciples were still running for Lord Bach's afterlife.

Lord Bach was instructed by Frank to provoke Kellysia so that he could use her to kill Mick, but instead of thinking that he would be self-defeating, he would bring about his own death.

For such a super-powerful murderer, the victims, the security services, and even the upper echelons of the empire remained unusually silent.

The other disciples of Frank were also very interested in not talking about anything, but silently took care of the aftermath for their senior. Everything seemed uneventful, but Frank could feel that the rest of the students seemed to have a very different attitude towards him.

In the evasive gazes of the students, he saw something called suspicion. When such emotions appear, it often means that many other thoughts have been bred in their hearts.

But think about it, a saint-level imperial chief alchemist openly suppressed a second-level alchemist, which was already a bit unbelievable, but I didn't expect it to be a complete failure in the end.

This incredible ending made everyone involved have a terrible thought, that is, the magic alchemy world of the Ottoman Empire is probably about to bid farewell to the era when Master Frank covered the sky with one hand.

Naturally, those around Frank were worried about their future. And compared to this, what makes everyone feel even more chilling is the death of Lord Bach.

The students followed Frank for a short time and got to know the teacher and Lord Bach's personality very well. Everyone knows that Bach will risk his life to jump out and provoke Kellysia by no means on his own.

However, after Lord Bach was killed, their teacher not only did not seek justice for his students, but did not even show his face, so he hid in his lair.

Those who carried the coffin of Lord Bach all had the same feeling of sadness for the death of a rabbit and a fox, and when they looked at the high teacher, the awe in their hearts suddenly disappeared.

Frank sat down at the tribute table with a flyer in his hand, trembling with rage.

The leaflet was the one General Fritz had seen before the press conference, and it read: "Mick is a yellow-mouthed child, he can't do what he can, and he cheats money with false works, so don't be fooled—Master Frank admonishes the people." ”

Frank's eyelids jumped when he saw this flyer, and he immediately thought that it was a conspiracy.

Anyone who reads this leaflet will immediately understand that he is nakedly suppressing Mick, and the resulting wave of public opinion will immediately push him to the forefront of academic dictatorship.

I heard that there were also rumors related to the overnight walk, rendering the two press conferences into a duel between the old and the new in the alchemy world, and opening a huge amount of gambling plates.

Those who don't know the depths will win, but as soon as Mick's press conference is a success, the guys who have lost all their money will immediately settle the account on his head.

Although they can't do anything about Frank, they will definitely destroy Frank's reputation everywhere, so that he, the leader of magic alchemy, will completely become a street rat that everyone shouts and beats, and he will never have any credibility from now on.

It turned out that a big net against himself had already been woven, and he was still stupidly jumping into it. Mick, this guy, has come up with such a vicious response in such a short period of time, which is really insidious and terrifying.

Frank closed his eyes and crumpled the flyer in his hand, feeling sorry for his underestimating enemy.

He thought that Mick was an insignificant little reptile, as long as he made a slight move, he could crush him like an ant, but he didn't expect that this guy turned out to be a highly poisonous scorpion, and if he was not careful, he would kill him.

"Is it all over?" Frank quietly recalls the struggles of this life, but the more he recalls those hardships and glories, the more unwilling he becomes, especially unwilling to lose to a despicable villain like Mick in this way.

"Someone! I want to see Archduke Tauffenberg!"

Frank's eerie voice reverberates through the empty office, like a devil from hell.
