Chapter 112: Magic Exchange
"Look, Victor is here!" Faras said happily to Ryan, who was sitting next to him, "Blair is going to show up soon, this is the second time they've communicated, right?
Ryan let out an "um", but he was still thinking about what had happened in the past few days. On the night that Blair and his party entered the imperial capital, Ryan entered the palace with Faras and Flanna, and met with Queen Catherine, Luke, Orlando, and Victor.
As the leader of this trip to the south, Ryan reported in detail to Catherine and the other three about the details of his trip to the south, including the defense of Seabreeze City, the attack on the banks of the Riptide River, the declaration of independence of Freedom Paradise, and the experience in Mochizuki City.
Originally, Ryan planned to propose to Luke immediately after completing the official business, so as to marry Farath as soon as possible, but it was obvious that this kind of family matter was inconvenient to say in front of Queen Catherine, and after Ryan finished reporting, Luke immediately gave Ryan another task in front of Catherine and others, that is, to assist Victor in preparing for the magic exchange conference, and also to accompany Mochizuki City and his party throughout the process.
In public and private, Ryan couldn't refuse this task, so he had to agree, due to the urgency of time, Ryan and Faras followed Victor to the Royal Academy of Magic overnight that night, and began to be busy for the magic exchange conference that began three days later, and during the day, Ryan also took Faras to accompany Blair and others to visit the imperial capital rebuilt after the war, and was very busy, so the matter of proposing to Luke could only be put aside temporarily.
After three days of intense preparations, the magic exchange conference finally began, but Ryan and Faraz could not rest, they not only had to accompany Blair and his party throughout the whole process, but also had to communicate with other magicians at this exchange conference, after all, this kind of opportunity is also rare.
This conference lasts for a full twenty days, as long as you wear a magician's robe, as long as you are a magician registered in the magic guild, even including magic apprentices, you can freely enter and leave the venue located in the Royal Academy of Magic, it can be said that these 20 days are a grand gathering of magicians in the entire continent.
On the first day of the conference, Queen Catherine, Imperial Chancellor Luke, and Archbishop Red of the Church of Light all attended in person, and the most anticipated thing on this day was that Victor and Blair exchanged magical experiences together. These two top magicians in the continent will each make a magic item on the spot, and then evaluate each other, exchange experiences, and answer questions for the magicians on the spot.
Ryan was a little depressed because his marriage to Faras would continue to drag on, so when Faras was a little absent-minded when talking to him, Faras quickly noticed this, she stretched out her hand under the table, held Ryan's hand, and whispered to comfort Ryan: "Fool, I'm yours sooner or later, what are you anxious about?"
Ryan listened to Faraz's soft voice in his ear, and his hand was in contact with Faraz's slippery little hand, and his heart couldn't help but wave, he suddenly felt that he was a little too persistent, in fact, as long as he could be with Faraz, it would be good, and the engagement ceremony was just a formality, could it be that without engagement, Faraz would not care about himself?
"Fani, what do you think Victor and Blair will make today?" Ryan quickly adjusted his mood, after the marriage with Faras, he had time to be busy, and the most important thing at the moment was to observe the masterpieces of the two masters.
Faras thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I don't know, but I'm sure these two works will definitely be passed down and become the dream of countless people." ”
Ryan thought for a moment and said to Farahs: "I think that a magic item should not only look at the power of killing, but should be suitable for the user, or make up for the user's shortcomings, or enhance the user's ability in some aspects, or even help the user improve their own strength. If it is simply evaluated by lethality, then a beginner magician taking this thing is equivalent to carrying a mage with him, and the consequence of relying on it everywhere is that his own strength stagnates or even regresses, which is not good for the user. ”
"You're right, but sometimes powerful attack magic or strong defensive magic can change the outcome of a battle, and it doesn't mean that it doesn't necessarily work. Faras nodded in agreement with Ryan's notions, but offered some of her own opinions.
"Ha, we don't need to argue about this, because none of these two different views have really won in thousands of years, oh, look, Master Blair is also on the scene, hey, why did you bring so many people in?"
In the center of the exchange venue, a total of two platforms were set up, Victor was already sitting on one platform, and Blair walked up to the other with four assistants. The platform where Victor was located was very simple, only a wooden table and a chair, and on the wooden table was placed a wooden staff, a stack of blank scrolls, some simple and cheap magic materials, and a complete set of magic items-making tools, about which Ryan was familiar with, and he could close his eyes and treasure: Mithril powder, Mithril filament, white quill, moonlight ink......
And the platform where Blair is located has a lot of things, a set of tables and chairs for Blair to rest and make items, a large shelf, which is full of all kinds of magic materials, in addition to these, there are actually water tanks, iron felt, stoves and other things that only blacksmith shops have, I really don't know what Blair thinks.
"Live production starts now and lasts 2 hours. With a shout from the master of ceremonies, the huge hourglass placed between the two platforms slowly began to flow sand downward. As soon as Blair's side heard the signal for the start of the game, they immediately got busy, and two of Blair's four assistants quickly took off their coats and began to operate the stove with their upper bodies, while the other two assistants stood by the shelves where the magic materials were placed, waiting for Blair's orders.
After a while, the flames in the furnace burned brightly, Ryan saw that there was no fuel at all in this furnace, and the bright red flame was by no means an ordinary flame, he looked at it carefully for a while, and still had the answer in his heart, this is simply a magic furnace, releasing magic flames with magic arrays, and most of the energy provided is the fire core or gem stored in it.
Ryan figured this out and set his eyes on Victor's body, but found that Victor was still sitting at the table with a calm demeanor, and he didn't mean to make it at all, Ryan was stunned, he didn't expect Victor to be so calm, and when Ryan turned his gaze back to Blair's side, he saw that Blair's two assistants put several smelted boxy pieces of metal on the iron felt, and under the iron felt, was the roaring furnace.
