Chapter 15: Drinking Parties and Duels
Let's shift our gaze back from Moloch Harbor to Mage City. At this time, Leah and Isabella did not expect that the situation of the war would be so severe.
In their opinion, as long as King Cliff had received the letter, Moloch Harbor could not have been lost.
It is a pity that no one could have imagined that the faith had been robbed by Germain, and that the Holy Church had used plural holy scriptures as weapons.
In any case, even if the news didn't reach Mage City, Leah's current mood wasn't good.
The bottleneck of teleportation magic has not yet been broken, and it has become a nightmare for every "guinea pig" after spitting up in the dark.
In order to verify the source of the dizziness, Leah threw herself, the princess, the knights, Karen, and even Hanufain and the goddess of creation Evette into the teleportation crystal at least once during this time.
And this kind of inhumane behavior also led the knights and guards to see Leah now, like a mouse seeing a cat, how far and how far to hide.
And on this day, when Alec met Leah, he immediately understood that the third lady of the Fareen family was still in a bad mood.
"Hello, Alec. ”
Although the signs of low air pressure were visible to the naked eye, Leah still greeted the other party politely.
"Hello Miss Leah, I'm on my way to ...... Patrol ......"
Alec hesitated, but eventually chose to flee, and teleportation has become a popular punishment game among the knights, who even gave it a comical name - "Blue Vomit".
If he needed an unlucky ghost, he would be more than willing to introduce a few poor creatures who had lost the contest, and as for himself...... It's better not to take the initiative to invite disaster.
"Oh well. I should warn you, though, that you're headed in the tavern, and the patrol has just finished changing shifts right under my nose. ”
Leah sighed. Exposed this lame lie.
"Uh...... Miss ......"
"Alright, alright, I know you don't want to be part of my reality, it doesn't matter, I don't need you or anyone else to enjoy this anytime soon.
I have found the core part of the problem, and what remains is not a real yàn, but a proven means.
Yes...... The space for teleportation is simply too unstable. Compared to the short-distance flickering, the amplitude of this spatial oscillation has increased exponentially, and I need to be able to steadily transmit crystals ......."
Leah interrupted Alec's defense. Then he gushed out.
[It's over.] 】
Looking at the little Lori in front of him, the knight knew very well that once Leah entered this mode, the next time would be a lecture like a book.
Even so. He listened attentively. I don't understand even a single word.
Even if the "Blue Vomit" has a bad reputation, but the knights will not hate Leah because of this, they all know that a certain Lori's hard work is for the Randall Kingdom, teleportation has important strategic significance and value, if one day in the future, from the northernmost Snow Lotus City of the Randall Kingdom to the south and the border with the Salman Holy Sect becomes only a blink of an eye, a small vomit is nothing.
“...... Wow...... Sorry, I seem to be talking too much. ”
Finally. Leah, who came to her senses, covered her mouth with her hand.
"It's an honor to be the subject of Archmage Leah. ”
Alec shrugged playfully.
In this case, good students who listen well should enjoy a rich extracurricular life. Let's go have a few drinks, the teacher is in for a treat. ”
Leah was amused, and she reached into her pocket, pulled out a gold coin, and handed it to the knight.
"Haha, that's a good idea, it looks like we can consider vintage wines for today's party. ”
Alec grinned and accepted the coins, then said goodbye to Leah, ready to go to enjoy a rare time with wine.
Leah, on the other hand, went in the other direction, and in order to perfect the teleportation magic, she needed to add something to the crystal to stabilize the vibration amplitude of the space.
However, there is a strict problem here - this is the domain of the alchemist.
So she came to a workshop where huge bricks, stones, and countless priceless materials were placed everywhere.
"Isha, are you there?"
Leah spoke.
"Yes, what's the matter, Leah?"
The princess's voice came from above a huge arm, yes, this was Isabella's Colossus Workshop, and this kind of large-scale work really couldn't be arranged in the palace to be completed, so she had to rent a large workshop.
"If you have time, I'd like to ask you a few questions. ”
Leah said.
"Unfortunately, Leah, as much as I'd love to answer your questions, as you can see, this arm is being cooled down, and if left unchecked, it will soon turn into a pile of scrap metal. ”
Not far away, the princess's voice of regret was heard.
"Oops, looks like I'm going to need to find another mage. ”
Leah touched her head in frustration, but she could see that the princess was too busy to stop.
She had no choice but to turn around and leave for the Elemental Council.
"A good alchemist, preferably an alchemist......"
There are most of the mage's files here, although they will not be open to the general public, but with the help of Hanufain's connections, Leah can easily obtain the information she wants.
As for seeking the help of the Great Sage himself, it is a pity that Hanufain and Eve have been working on searching for Yuhime's whereabouts recently, and they are not currently in Mage City.
Jessica Rowrant...... She invented the Magic Storage Core...... Maybe I should try to visit her. ”
Soon, she found the perfect fit. Mana storage devices, that's a very complex thing, and the requirements for stability are very high, after all, the common problem of this type of device is love to explode.
"Since our Miss Jessica has been able to gain the alchemist's evaluation through the guò core, then I have reason to believe that this thing will definitely not be some occasional blasting device. ”
Little Lori is a man of action, and she immediately set off to prepare for the other party's location.
And on the way, she meets Alec.
"Ahh......h Well, what's going on?"
She was about to talk, but noticed that the knight's face was covered with gloom. Not only him, but more than a dozen knights behind him, each with fire spewing out of their eyes.
"Duel, Miss Leah, it's a duel. ”
Alec's voice was angry.
"Huh?"
Leah frowned, she really couldn't figure out who would provoke a knight in the tavern, and it was about the size of a squad.
"Can you imagine, Miss?
We were drinking in the tavern when suddenly a man walked in, looked at us, then frowned and turned his head away. ”
"You can't be too loud, right?"
Leah shook her head, that wasn't a reason for a duel.
"I'll admit that we were a bit noisy, as is always the case when people drink too much, and I apologized to him and was going to treat him for a drink as a gesture of sincerity. ”
Alec's story is clearly not over, and as he speaks, his expression furious:
"And guess what? The man said to me, 'Rather than drink with the knights, let me die.'" ’
It's an insult, miss!
Looking at Alec's expression, and the knights around him, Leah began to mourn for the poor creature who had annoyed an entire team of knights. (To be continued......)
