Chapter 41: The Magic Staff

"Brother......

At night, in the break room next to the dwarven laboratory, Richard woke up from his slumber several times, each time calling out to his brother.

"It's okay, it's okay, Master Ada said, you'll recover soon. I'll be training again. ”

Donner was always on Richard's side. Under the dual effect of Dean Devis's potion and Idarua's orange healing potion, the injuries on his body were no longer serious, but his palms were still badly swollen.

Richard woke up for a moment and fell asleep again amid Donner's comforting voices.

"Donner, you go and rest, we have a game tomorrow. Richard, I'll take care of it here. Kelly still had bandages on her hands and splints on her arms, but other than that, she was able to move freely.

The convention didn't end until dusk, and instead of returning to the house's accommodation, Donner went with Kelly to the dwarven lab, where Edaroya had already treated Richard before they arrived.

As Idarua, who was sent to Middle-earth to be in charge of the ambassador's security work, he obviously had a wealth of experience in first aid, and the healing potions he carried with him must have been extremely precious. If it weren't for his previous brutal training and timely treatment afterwards, Richard would have been really more than lucky.

Donner sat for a while, and the dwarf sisters came in from outside the house, and crept close to Richard's bedside, for Idarua must have been worried about their verbose and noisy until Richard rested, and took care of them, and kept them quiet. It's just that the dwarf's request was interpreted by the two sisters as sneaky.

Donner looked at them with fear, and suddenly thought of something, and beckoned the two sisters out of the lounge.

"Are the results of the last experiment in?"

"Ahh

"yes, yes, plus three thousandths of Mithril, it's much stronger. Pity...... The cost is much higher. Arimia added.

"It's twice as good as before, so it's much harder than normal iron, is it useful for mining?" asked Donner.

"Well, it's much harder than iron, it's only a third of the weight, and it's not expensive. However, we haven't been to the mining area either, so I don't know if it's useful. ”

"yes, yes, we haven't been to the mines, Mia thinks it will be useful. Can we send the results back to us?"

"Absolutely. Donner replied bitterly that the results of this research had been done in the dwarves' laboratories and should have belonged to the dwarves. He paused, then continued, "I'd like to ask you two to do me a favor, okay?"

The dwarf sisters readily agreed, without even asking what they were going to do.

Donald carefully spent a few drawings and handed them to the dwarf sisters.

"It's better to make it from a harder material, and it's best if it's all dwarven steel. Can you finish it tonight?"

"Alright, it's going to be done tonight!" said Elemanda happily, looking excited to see such a delicate drawing.

"Yes, yes, yes, it will be done. Donald, what the hell is this?" Arymia seemed to be a little more curious than her sister.

“...... A magic wand. Donner replied.

"Wow, Mia, we're going to make a magic wand!"

"It's Lord Donner's magic wand!"

The gnome sisters stared at each other with wide eyes, and then jumped up and down the machine.

Donner felt a little embarrassed to think that he had instructed the two child laborers to do their private work, but the two sisters did not complain at all.

Even though he was very tired, Donner spent more than an hour meditating.

While Donner was meditating, Kelly, who was guarding Richard's side, kept looking at him stupidly.

The teenager in front of him has created too many miracles in just over half a year. He was already a great apprentice in magic, and he could even miraculously kill a peak reserve knight in a head-on confrontation. And judging by the attitudes of Adalua and the dwarf sisters today, it is obvious that he is not working in this laboratory, so it can be seen that his grandfather's family has recently started to specialize in dwarven weapons, and he must be contributing.

It was the first time that Kelly looked at the young man's quiet face at such a close distance, but she had a vague strange feeling. The Donner in front of her, and the shy and quiet teenager in her mind, no longer seem to be the same person. He was far better than the one in her heart.

The boy who sat quietly in the blacksmith shop, smiling and listening to her, was the sustenance of her girlish feelings. He was so beautiful, though a little weak.

And at this moment, Donner in front of him already has her, and she can rely on her chest and arms with peace of mind. Although, in front of him, the girl will feel that she is so weak, but it is this feeling of being able to accept the protection of the other party calmly that makes the girl's heart throb happily.

In the mind of such a girl, Donner in front of him suddenly woke up, and he covered his head with his hands, as if he was in pain. This is the pain that Donner will experience every day of meditation, and this pain has slowly honed Donner's mind, making him more resolute under the easy-going appearance.

Kelly only knew that Donner was meditating just now, but she didn't know why he suddenly showed such a painful expression, and in a hurry, she rushed to Donner's side, kneeling and hugging Donner's body.

"It's okay, it's a natural reaction when your mental strength grows. Donner gently patted Kelly on the back and whispered comfort.

Still uneasy, Kelly hugged Donner tightly, her beautiful long hair leaning under Donner's nose.

Smelling the girl's unique scent, Donner felt that the pain seemed to be lightened.

"You can't be left to bear everything...... Kylie is going to be strong too......"

Kelly said this, and actually cried. She suddenly felt that her previous thoughts were too selfish. Yes, she also has to become stronger, and she can't let him take on everything alone like she did today, while she just hides on the sidelines.

"Well, Kelly will turn into a handsome knightess. Donner said with a smile, his lips kissing the girl's hair.

Morning. When Donner woke up, he was greeted by an extremely delicate magic wand.

Unknown light gray material, faintly glowing with dark blue light, the body of the staff is engraved with mysterious patterns, the position of the handshake is engraved with deeper cross stripes in order to prevent slipping, a little force, you can rotate the handle, the damping is just right, obviously extremely precise.

It's just that the whole magic wand is very light to the hand, and it doesn't look like it's made of dwarven steel.

The gnome sisters smirked at Donner's puzzled expression. Two lovely smiling faces, but with obvious exhaustion, apparently not sleeping all night.

"Mia, I'll just say it, the Great Demon King can't guess what materials we used. By the way, Mia had to engrave the pattern, and now she can't carve the magic array, so it's none of my business. ”

"Hmph, didn't you also say that the bare ones are too ugly? You are responsible for the materials in the laboratory, and you have prepared too little Mithril, so you only used a quarter of Mithril this time, and you said that I am. ”

"A quarter of Mithril, that's too expensive!" Donner exclaimed, knowing that the magician would only use the Mithril material that could be compatible with all the magical elements in the most critical parts of the magic device, and now, to make such a simple magic wand, these two little guys actually used so much Mithril, it was really a heinous waste.

"Mom said that this laboratory can have an annual expenditure of 20,000 magic crystals. In the past few months, we have not spent any money at all except for purchasing materials, and we have already researched such powerful results, but unfortunately the time is too short, and we don't have time to buy it again, otherwise we should use half of Mithril to be worthy of the identity of the Great Demon King!"

"Yes, yes, my mother also said that if the research results are achieved, the budget can be increased. If our Demon King Light Rail materials are sent back, it will definitely get a lot of budget. This Mithril is less than half of your budget, so you don't have to worry about running out of money. Also, my mother said that in Middle-earth, this laboratory is of the highest standard, which is why there are genius engineers like us as assistants. "Arimia didn't blush at all when she spoke of the genius engineer.

Twenty thousand magic crystals?!Hearing this number, Donner almost felt dizzy, as far as he knew, the quota of magic crystals in the Tris Academy of Magic and Magic was only about ten thousand a year. The small laboratory in charge of him actually has a larger budget than the huge magic academy, no wonder they have been asked to prepare all kinds of metals before, and they will get so many kinds of metals so quickly.

"Forget it, let's not engrave the magic array first. How do you have so many Mithril in the lab?" Donner said, rubbing the magic wand in his hand, listening to Elimia's tone just now, this thing actually used thousands of magic crystals, and Donner suddenly felt that it had become extremely heavy.

"Because Mom said Donner was a magician, we thought magicians must use a lot of Mithril. ”

"And it's too slow to ship it from home, so we're afraid of delaying time, so we'll prepare more." If you don't need it, you can return it. ”

Donner then remembered that in addition to producing magic crystals, the country of the far north is also an important source of mythril, and the price of dwarfs purchasing mythril must be much cheaper than that of Middle-earth. In this way, the price of these Mithril in the Huls Continent is probably more amazing than I imagined.

This is indeed the case, because even in the Far North, the production of Mithril is extremely low, and with the restriction of exports, the price of Mithril in Middle-earth is more than ten times higher than the price thought by the dwarf sisters, but even so, it is still in short supply.

This most magical material in the legend has far harder physical properties than other metals, in addition to being demonic and lightweight. Even in regular steel, adding a little Mithril can give you a performance close to that of dwarven steel.

And the magic wand in front of him, which was made of dwarf steel mixed with a quarter of Mithril, no longer knew how perverted the strength it had reached, and even if it was used as a weapon, it could beat the blades of most divine weapons.

The dwarf sisters on the other side were so kind that Donner had no choice but to accept this too extravagant gift. He took his wand and found Aidaroa, and the two studied it outside for a while, and the dwarf couldn't help but admire Donna's genius in naturalism.

"How did you come up with it, the magic wand that doesn't engrave the magic array, it's kind of interesting. ”

After breakfast, Kelly was left to take care of Richard, while the dwarf sisters stayed in the lab to sleep at Idarua's insistence, and Adarua, who was responsible for the safety of the two, naturally stayed. Before Donner leaves, Kelly repeatedly tells him to stay safe.

When Donner arrived at the Martial Demon Conference venue, the competition had not yet begun, but all the students of the Academy of Magic were seated. Just at the front row of the Academy of Magic, Lucia sat among the professors, and next to her, of course, Kaz, the head of the Crimson Knights, sat next to her.

"I've heard about yesterday, be careful today. Lucia saw Donner and immediately walked up, the worry on her face not hiding in the slightest. Kaz followed her inseparably.

"Well, I'll be careful. Donner replied softly.

Lucia suddenly didn't know what to say, but she was unwilling to let Donner go like this, and just stood stupidly in front of Donner, who quietly waited for the other party to speak. In front of everyone's eyes, the atmosphere between the two immediately became awkward.

"Good yesterday!" Lucia's face was already faintly flushed, and after squeezing out a sentence, she took Kaz back to her place.
