On the eastern border of the Thorn Empire, in an inconspicuous uninhabited valley in the Molian Mountains, an army of tens of thousands of people is stationed at this time.

After more than ten days of rain, a sunny day finally ushered in. General Klee and Master Arrahan were sitting in the open space outside the tent drinking morning tea. Even under such difficult conditions, Mage Arrahan stubbornly adhered to the way of life of the upper echelons of the empire.

Twenty days ago, this army had entered this no-man's land on the border. After a long wait, the morale of the army inevitably dropped. But it was the magicians who complained the most about it.

With the dirty mud under his feet, facing a reckless man like Klee, Arrahan felt that today's morning tea seemed to taste musty. According to the agreement, yesterday should be the date of sending troops, and he really can't understand what the rough man in front of him is waiting for.

"The news from my people is very clear, Eli is a third-level magician, plus his son has just been promoted to a fourth-level knight, and the rebels in Tris Province are enough to drag down the combat power of the entire southern part of the Faemon Empire, if you don't send troops, aren't you afraid of delaying the warplane?" Arrahand finally spoke coldly.

"Haha, it's not bad for a day or two, come, let's continue to drink tea......"

"General...... a junior officer handed a small scroll of paper to General Klee's hand: "The secret letter that the white-headed crow just sent!"

General Klee picked up the roll of paper and made sure the seal was intact before carefully opening it.

Looking at the other party's frowning brows, Arrahan couldn't help but ask, "What is written on it?"

General Klee did not answer, but handed the scroll of paper to Master Arrahand.

“...... Eli was killed on the spot, and the Tris family died except for Darik, who was seriously wounded and captured......"

"There are no rebels at all, Eli's farce is over in one morning!" said General Klee coldly.

"This idiot! I've been planning for so long, but I haven't made any waves. Arrahand's expression was furious.

"Hmph, the Feimeng Empire may have known about our arrangement, just waiting for us to jump into the trap......"

This time, Mage Arrahan felt that General Klee looked at him a little strangely.

Triss School of Magic, Dean Devis's laboratory.

"So, it was just a twelve-dollar magic that killed Eli?!" Victor had surprise written on his face.

"There's also a three-element ice spear ......," Donner added.

"Fantastic idea! What a wonderful idea...... Victor's old face flushed, and he turned his head to Deves and said, "You see, I have long said that naturalism is more magical than magic......!

Dean Devis ignored Victor and continued to look at the wand in his hand, "This material...... Could it be ......?"

"It took a quarter of Mithril. Downer replied.

"A quarter of Mithril?!, are you sure?" Victor snatched the wand from Deves's hand, flipped it back and forth, and looked closely.

"How did you get so much Mithril?" Dean Devis, who had always been calm, his voice trembled a little.

"I have a bit of a cooperation with the gnomes, and like the magic crystal that paid the tuition last time, it was all sold to them for the invention in exchange. ”

"Dozens of crystals are one thing......," Victor tossed the weight of his wand, "a kilogram of Mithril is another matter entirely...... Do you know how many magic crystals these Mithril cost?"

"Ten thousand magic crystals?" Donner replied cautiously.

"You can't buy a hundred thousand magic crystals!" Victor shouted.

"Then I'll give it back to others, this is too cheap......" Donner didn't expect the difference in the price of Mithril in Middle-earth and the Far North to be so big, and the dwarf sisters were really a little messy this time.

"If you get it, how can you return it!" Victor hugged the magic wand, and suddenly felt that his words were a little wrong, and added: "I mean, the dwarves want to save face, and if you return it, you just don't give face......"

Donner was speechless.

Dean Devis slowly stood up, opened a side door in the laboratory, and said to Donner and Victor, "Let's try how powerful it is." ”

Donner followed Dean Devis through the door, the room was larger than the lab, barely furnished, and looked empty. In the center of the room, there is a humanoid sculpture made of metal, covered with various imprints, apparently used to test the power of magic.

"This doll is stronger than the one in the magic lab, and can withstand up to a full blow from a level 5 knight. Dean Deves introduced Donner.

In fact, Donner, as a third-year student, was not qualified to go to the magic lab at all.

Donner took the wand from Victor and aimed it at the puppet, pushing, pulling, and turning.

"Boom", in a closed room, the sound of the explosion will become louder.

Dean Devis and Victor stepped forward to inspect at the same time.

"It's already more than the full force of the third-level knight's blow, and the power is more concentrated!" Deves's voice trembled slightly.

"And at such a distance...... Victor added.

"Bursting ice beads didn't have such a powerful ...... before," Donner was still a little puzzled.

"That's the effect of Mithril. In such a small area, surrounded by such a high concentration of Mithril, the magic power will explode several times. Dean Devis explained, "Normally, no one would cast magic in a container made of Mithril, because there is no point. ”

"That's right, if your magic wand doesn't use Mithril evenly, but uses all the cavities that produce explosions near the handle, the power will be even greater, and the Mithril used in the first half of the wand is actually wasted except for reducing some weight. Victor added.

Donner nodded silently, what Victor said made sense.

"That twelve-element magic, you created it yourself?" asked Devis.

"It was when I was building the model that I had a whim, and I broke my hand, and I thought it could be used that way when I duel with Aldrich. And then I came up with the idea......"

"I remember Vivien is also a ...... of fire and water," said Deves, who walked out of the lab and instructed his assistant to call Vivien.

Vivien, the professor of meditation, was also injured in yesterday's battle, and her face was still a little haggard.

"Dean Devis, Professor Victor, oh Donner, you're there too. Vivien gave Donner a warm hug.

The mature and sexy female body gave Donner a lot of shock, and he was worried that the other party would see something strange on his face, but fortunately, Vivian's eyes didn't stay on him for too long.

"Dean, you called me ......"

"Vivien, if I'm not mistaken, you're a fellow practitioner of both fire and water?" asked Devis.

"Yes, Dean. ”

"Donner, describe to Professor Vivien what your burst ice bead magic is. ”

A basic twelve-element defense model, but the inner and outer layers used different divine elements, and Vivien immediately understood.

"Be careful, the explosion will hurt your hands. ”

"It's okay, my magic resistance is much higher than yours. Vivien said playfully, and then she stretched out her right hand, and without any preparation, an ice bead appeared in her hand, much larger than Donner's burst ice bead.

Poof, the ice beads cracked, and a small flame flickered.

"How so?" said Vic suspiciously.

Devis frowned, and only after sending Professor Vivien away did he speak slowly.

"Donner, it seems that you have a special talent, you don't need to recite spells, and every magic becomes more powerful in your hands, and this kind of magic that bursts ice beads is the same. To maintain such a small volume, such a large burst power, it may be ...... Only you can do it. ”

Before Donner left, Deves said something encouraging, and Downer felt that the glory of the house depended on him to inherit something, and Donner felt that it was a little too far away. However, it can be seen that the promotion of the magic rifle has failed, and the dean is obviously still a little frustrated.

Donner was completely unaffected by Dean Devis's emotions, on the contrary, he would not even be willing to reveal the secret of this magic wand if it weren't for Victor's sake - it was better to have a unique skill than anyone else.

From this day on, Donner became a star student in the magic academy, and he was greeted by unknown students when he came and went, which made him very uncomfortable. Fortunately, Wesley's attitude towards him was the same as ever, and he even asked him several times to borrow that magic wand to show off his might in the academy. Donner knew he couldn't use it, so he left it to him.

On the day of the mutiny, Lucia returned to the imperial capital accompanied by Kaz.

Dick, who injured Kelly at the conference, disappeared for a few days, with a face full of scars and a broken right arm (presumably self-harmed or beaten by a family member), took the initiative to find Donner, and deeply repented and wept bitterly for what he had been deceived by Carl all along. Donner listened to him silently and then turned away, not speaking the whole time. Dick was still terrified, and finally couldn't hold on anymore and dropped out of the magic academy.

Richard spent more than ten days recuperating in the dwarven laboratory, and after recovering, like Kelly, he threw himself into Adarua's devilish training.

After the accident of the Martial Demon Conference, the enthusiasm of the two for training became extremely high, and Idalua simply treated them all as dwarves, and the training intensity increased day by day.

The contents of the alloy experiment were transmitted back to the Far North, and a reply was soon received from the School of Engineering, which gave the experiment a very high evaluation, believing that this achievement, once popularized, would greatly improve the operational efficiency of the mining area.

Natia Vader also wrote a letter thanking Donner, after which the dwarf sisters and Idalua invited Donner, Richard, and Kelly to celebrate in a restaurant near the lab, and Adarua even drank too much.

As for the wand, Donner insisted on returning it to the dwarf sisters, and the two sides argued, so they had to take a step back and remake the wand, using pure Mithril material in the reaction chamber of the burst ice orb, and only a small amount of Mithril in the dwarven steel for the other parts to ensure strength. In this way, not only did the power increase again, but also saved more than half of the Mithril, and Donner accepted it with peace of mind.

In mid-May, the Academy of Magic received an official letter from the Imperial Capital, inviting Donner and Wesley to attend the Martial Arts Gala held in the Imperial Capital at the end of May. Also on the list of the gala was Roger of the Knight Academy. In addition, the letter also invited a number of professors from the School of Magic, such as Devis and Victor.

Although the royal family did not say it explicitly, it is not difficult for those who are interested to find that these people resolutely refused to compromise with the Triss family on the day of the rebellion, and even contributed to the suppression of the rebellion in the end. Presumably, this convening also has the intention of rewarding meritorious deeds.

The day after receiving the letter, four carriages led by Dean Devis, a team of more than a dozen people, set off in the direction of the imperial capital of Cohenas.

This is the first time Downer has set foot outside the province of Tris.
