The next day, Karl officially invited Wesley to a duel, and the time was set for the evening of the same day, which in Donner's impression should be a knight's tradition, but he didn't expect this to be popular in the Academy of Magic.

"I just found out that Carl is the one on the top 10 master rankings, aren't you going to lose badly?"

"What kind of duel, the child's housework, I don't bother to pay attention to him. ”

"I heard the story of a famous poet who was killed in a duel. ”

"Hey, can you say something auspicious?"

"You're not going anyway. ”

Donner imagined Wesley standing in the dueling arena as comically as if he had put a quail in front of a fighting. Wesley couldn't help but sit a little farther away when he saw his weird smile.

At this point, Lucia walked into the library and walked straight to Wesley, who immediately changed to a lewd smile on his face.

"I've heard about Karl, and I hope you don't do such childish things. ”

"Lucia Lucia, I knew you cared about me. ”

"What are you talking about? I don't want to mess up the academy because of my business. Lucia's brow furrowed.

"You don't want me to get hurt, don't you? Don't worry, although Carl is not my opponent, but I listen to you, don't go!"

"I ...... I changed my mind. You'd better go and get Carl to beat him up. Lucia glared at Wesley fiercely, rolled her eyes at Donner, and turned away.

Donner shrugged and thought, "What does it have to do with me?"

Wesley still looked like nothing had happened, reading leisurely, occasionally looking around, as if searching for prey.

"Do you know how you can get magic metal?" asked Donner.

"Magic metal?"

"What kind of primitives are used in the academy?"

"Mercury, flame gold, fanjin, gui gold, and spirit copper, just these five, the most common five series of magic metals in the continent. ”

"Maybe a little bit of each. ”

"What are you going to do, I warn you, don't draw blindly without a teacher looking at you. Wesley had a rare serious expression, even when he claimed to be a poet.

"Don't worry, I know. Is there any way you can get it?"

"What's not to be able to get here, we have a free quota every month, but it's not enough at all, we have to buy it ourselves, it's not very expensive. ”

Donner knew that what Wesley was talking about wasn't very expensive, and it wasn't something he could afford now.

"Can you buy some for me? I mean, in case I have money. ”

"Don't come here, I won't buy it for you, no matter where you got the money. But I can give you some of my quota, each of which is only enough for a dozen or so drawings, so that nothing will happen, and I don't want to hurt you. ”

"Do you know where you can see a larger magic array? I'd like to borrow one. ”

"You think too highly of me, you can't get this, I can't even draw the simplest magic array. Ask Professor Victor, he's the expert. ”

That evening, Wesley brought Donner something: five miniature crystal bottles with different magical metals, and a delicate set of drawing pens, neatly stored in a wallet-sized leather case. Donner didn't mention the money, didn't even say thank you, just slapped Wesley on the shoulder and said, "Don't go to the duel." ”

"I didn't plan to go. Wesley turned away, nonchalantly replied.

Mr. Victor was in a particularly good mood tonight, for his dissertation was finally completed and had been sent to the Continental Naturalist Society, and it was the first time he had written such a long dissertation, almost as thick as a book.

The magic lamp was rarely left unlit, and the laboratory looked cosy and warm in the candlelight.

"Mr. Victor, when I was in Lante Island, I once heard the bard say that the knight goes north, and the mage goes south, and recently I found that the door of the Knight Academy and the School of Magic also have it written, what do these two sentences mean?"

"Well, because the knight's sanctuary is in the Wasteland of Courage in the north, and the mage's sanctuary is in the Magic Sanctuary in the south. ”

"What kind of place is that, and why is the sacred place of mages and knights exactly north and south?"

"This is complicated to say, to put it simply, the north is close to hell, not a place for people to stay, suitable for knights to practice, while the south is close to heaven, good mountains and rivers, suitable for mages to practice. ”

"Is there really hell and heaven?"

"If not, how could this happen?"

"Have you been to the South, then?"

"No, the magicians who went to the south rarely come back. ”

"Why don't you go?"

"Nonsense, I went early. Only the Sacred Academy's Guiding Boat can deal with the wind and waves and demonic beasts in the southern part of the Forgotten Sea, but the Seven Holy Courtyards, which only recruit magical geniuses, must be promoted to an official magician before the age of twenty to be eligible to board the ship. ”

Victor was a little lost when he said this, and Donner quickly changed the subject: "I heard that you are an expert in the magic array. ”

"Of course!" Speaking of the magic circle, Victor was not at all modest.

"Do you know how to make a large magic circle?"

“...... Large-scale is a very general concept......"

"Then how big is the largest magic array you have ever made? Legend has it that some magic arrays can cover a radius of a hundred miles. ”

"You said it yourself, that's a legend!"

"It's the size of this room......"

Victor did not answer.

"...... the size of a test bed"

Victor still doesn't speak.

"Well, you've at least made a magic circle the size of your palm. ”

Victor glanced at his palm, then at Donner's palm, "That'...... It depends on whose palm ......"

"Can you show me your work?" said Donner, with a smile.

"Hmph, you stinky boy, don't you believe me? The Imperial Capital Magic School invited me to give a magic array class, and I didn't pay attention to them. Come on, come on, I'll show you my work, palm-sized, some ......"

Victor took out an iron box from the drawer next to his test bench, opened it in a strange way, and took out a stack of animal skins of various shapes. A few of them, indeed, are the size of Donner's palm.

"You see, these small ones were drawn by others, these big ones are mine, this is the Flame Shield Magic Scroll, this is the Whirlwind Technique, and this, this is amazing, the big fireball magic scroll is stronger than the first-level fireball magic......"

Donner reached out and took the powerful fireball scroll, "How do you use this?"

"These aren't inlaid with magic crystals, so they don't work. ”

"I see you're pretending to be so good, these must be your best works, right?"

"Of course not! I have a lot of better ...... I gave it to my friends......"

"And these are all ordinary?"

"For me, of course, it's very ordinary, I draw casually. Victor looked proud, but he had betrayed him by holding them carefully.

"That'...... I'll lend this one for a night, so it's fine, right?"

"Ahh......h

"It's very ordinary, you draw it casually. ”

"Borrow it!"

"Then these fire-based magic arrays drawn by others, so small, can you lend them to me too?"

"Hmph, take it, get it back for me tomorrow morning!" Victor gritted his teeth and agreed to Donner.

Donner took the loot and went downstairs with a puff of smoke. Leaving Victor with a look of resentment.
