Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Restaurant Incident

In this way, Ace added a new item to his daily itinerary, and that was to listen to classes at the Academy of Magic.

Of course, the release and practice of the magic of the five departments is an internal arrangement of the academy, and outsiders are never allowed to participate. Therefore, Ace mainly went to listen to the history and basic knowledge of the five systems of magic.

Because it seemed to him that since his mother had discovered many similarities and connections between different magics, he was able to verify his mother's suspicions by studying them carefully.

During this time, Ace did learn a lot of things that he didn't know before.

For example, the mutual constraints of the five magic systems.

Earth conquers water, water conquers fire, fire conquers wind, and wind conquers earth. The Holy Light System is independent of these four attributes and is a special kind of existence. Holy Light spells do not limit the other four attributes. At the same time, the four attributes of earth, water, fire, and wind do not limit the attributes of holy light.

Ace heard about this knowledge for the first time.

Of the five major magic systems, fire magic is the most destructive and the least defensive. The magic of wind, earth, and water is relatively balanced.

Holy Light Magic focuses on secondary defense, and its attack stats are much weaker than the other four.

There is also knowledge about magic scrolls. Magic scrolls are scrolls made by powerful magicians that can cast different spells in an instant. Only high-level magicians can craft magic scrolls, and the items required to craft them are extremely expensive. Reel paper itself is not cheap.

A paper made from the bark of the "World Tree" that can withstand magical power. The World Tree grows in a mysterious place far away from the New Delhi Empire.

Mages need to draw a layer of magic stone powder on this piece of paper and then carve magic spells on it, so that they can make a magic scroll.

Although magic scrolls are expensive to craft, it is common among high-level magicians because the scrolls are so convenient to use that they can cast magic immediately without having to chant the spell again. They can make a huge difference in real combat and sometimes even save their own lives.

As a result, high-level magicians carry some magic scrolls with them in case they need them.

Ace was also interested in this information. He just wanted to know what were the advantages and disadvantages of the dark magic he practiced compared to the five series of magic? The answer to this question is unlikely to be found in the academy.

With the help of the wealthy young master Leon, Ace also managed to gain free access to the academy's library. How did Lyon do it? Quite simply, there is only one word, and that is money.

The guard of the academy was not a rich man, and when he saw two bags of gold coins in front of him, he couldn't help but swallow Adam's apple, which showed that Leon's acquisition plan was bound to succeed.

Ace will definitely cherish such a good resource. In this way, he quickly developed the habit of reading various magic books in the library every day.

However, such an ordinary day, which lasted less than a month, was broken by a restaurant farce.

On this day, Ace and the other three came to a restaurant together. According to Leon, the restaurant is also an estate of their Vicky family.

When he arrived, Leon seemed relaxed. After all, no one dares to make trouble in their own restaurant, right?

But it backfired. There are really some people who dare to do whatever they want in the restaurant.

In order not to affect their business, the chef of the restaurant decided to kick the troublemaker out, but unexpectedly, the man suddenly fell to the ground under the chef's push, and then foamed at the mouth, and soon died.

Suddenly, the restaurant was in chaos. Know that once a restaurant goes out of business, it will have a huge impact on business.

Is there something wrong with this food, poisoned? Or did the chef kill someone? This speculation would soon spread throughout the imperial capital. At that point, the restaurant will no longer be able to continue operating due to the accident.

Shortly after the death of the perpetrator, a large number of guards arrived from the street.

When the guards came in and saw the body lying on the ground, they immediately took control of the cook and said they would take it back to the courtroom for investigation.

Leon had never seen such a battle, and he stood there with shock and horror on his face. Instead, Ace was the first to stand up.

"You can't take people away!" Ace said to the guard. When he made a sound to stop, he noticed something strange.

Now, Ace is a Level 3 Dark Mage, and he has an extremely keen sense of any creature in the nearby streets that is less than Level 3. When Ace first arrived at the restaurant, he noticed a large group of guards not far away.

Saying that these guards were patrolling the city, Ace absolutely didn't believe it, because they stayed in one place for more than half an hour.

Ace didn't pay much attention to it at the time, thinking they were on a special mission.

However, the troublemakers fell to the ground, and the guards, who had never moved, rushed to the restaurant without hesitation. How did they know so quickly that someone had died in the tavern?

Based on the above two points, Ace has been able to conclude that this matter is not simple, and it is likely that there is a huge conspiracy hidden.

Seeing Ace blocking the way, the team leader immediately sneered, "How dare you interfere with the trial of the criminals we arrested?" ”

Ace said without fear, "We were all there when it happened. You don't even ask us, you just take people away. I don't think it's appropriate to do that. ”

The team leader obviously did not expect that a boy of thirteen or fourteen would dare to face himself so righteously and solemnly. He couldn't help but be surprised for a moment, but soon the mockery on his face became more intense: "When do we need the consent of a civilian from you?" ”

With that, the guard was ready to rush out with his men.

But Ace said to the other chef in the restaurant, "Go and close the door." Without figuring things out today, no one can leave here. ”

By this time the chef was already stupefied. Hearing Ace's order, he obeyed almost instinctively and closed the door tightly.

The guard's face suddenly became gloomy: "Little bastard, stay away from me!" As he spoke, the guards prepared to chase Ace away.

However, Ace's reaction was so fast that he dodged it directly. After the guard flew into the air, he tripped and almost fell to the ground. He immediately got angry and shouted, "What are you waiting for? Tie him up! ”

For a while, the restaurant was in shambles, tables and chairs fell to the floor, cutlery fell to the floor, and all the diners screamed in horror.

However, under the joint arrest of more than a dozen guards, Ace was still able to escape peacefully.

The reason why Ace wanted to do this was actually very simple. He just wanted to wait until someone from the Vicky family could come in time.

If the chef is really taken away, even if the restaurant is innocent, the chef may be beaten to the point of admitting the charge, which is Ace's first reaction. That's why he stopped the guards who tried to leave as soon as possible, giving people time to tell the Vicky family.

In Ace's opinion, what happened at the restaurant today must have been premeditated. Otherwise, why would the soldiers keep waiting outside for something to happen and then rush over to arrest someone?
