Then, he reached out and mixed a large handful of sparkling gems with some of the silk agate that Edward had left behind, and without seeing any movement, the objects formed a larger disc-shaped circle in his hand, which was attached to Edward's work and clasped together.
Diamond?
Edward raised his brow, the tiny stone with a shiny glitter was undoubtedly one of the more well-known gemstones, but in fact, it was also one of the most precious magical materials, and the items used to make zuò could enhance the activity of any spell, and also increase their power.
Although he didn't know much about the function of magical items, Edward knew it. The additional circle that Albert was going to make was also a high-end item of great value.
"The runes are these, engrave them, and then focus your mind and guide the first initiation. The ** master spoke, and at the same time drew in the air, so a layer of silver bright lines flickered in the air, outlining the appearance of more than a dozen runes, and it did not slowly disappear until a moment later.
Edward gritted his teeth.
Transforming his magic into a circle is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and every moment the circle is formed, Edward can feel his life lightly, and it is also gradually moving away. And this feeling becomes more obvious with the higher the number of rings of the circle, the power of the first layer of the circle is only a slight numbness of the fingers, and when it reaches the twelfth layer just now, it has almost made him mentally stiff, and he only feels that his life seems to have dissipated......
Let's hope this thing isn't very demanding.
The last layer of runes was not much, and it was already completed in a few moments. So Edward closed his eyes, his left hand and right hand overlapped together to cover the circle sequence of the agate, and then the next moment, a wisp of ripples vibrated slightly. Layers of runes gradually lit up! The magic and elemental power converged along the path of the circle, and were eventually dispersed to the entire creation, and even the entire space!
Then, there was a low, deep sigh that rang through my head.
Around the round agate plate, there was a circle of shiny decorations, and the black skull sculpture of the Spirit Sucker was stuck together in the next moment, and Edward raised his gaze, and was about to say something in joy, but noticed that the teacher's footsteps had just stepped out of the two doors of the room. Disappear into a scattered halo of light.
The telemancer tugged at the corners of his mouth.
All the reasons to stay here. It all seems to have disappeared. He looked around, and in his eyes, dozens of lines of sight retreated. So he sighed. Edward also walked out of the room.
The path in the mage's tower was complicated, but it was not enough for a psychic warlock, but after going down a few floors, Edward appeared, and his goal was gone.
It's really gone, there are only a few people in the real yàn room of the mage Minahir, and Edward is standing at the door of the real yàn room, and no one pays attention to her.
Cecilia ...... No, Shiluda...... No. Where are those mage apprentices from Krurod?"
His last remaining patience was finally exhausted, so he grabbed a mage who was hurrying by.
"Krurod people, I don't know, I haven't seen them for at least two or three days. The mage apprentice who had been stopped by Edward was a woman, and she glared with some disgust at the guy who dared to stand in her way, and then became annoyed by the overly young face of the other man, "Who are you?"
But the inquirer didn't seem to want to let it go: "Do you know what they're doing?" he asked.
"Where they went, what were they doing, how would I know?"
The female apprentice struggled twice, but she couldn't get rid of the hand that was pressed on her upper arm, and she couldn't help but raise her voice sharply: "What the hell are you going to do? And who are you? Those accomplices of the Croud thieves...... Oops!"
Before the shouting was over, she finally broke free from the hand that had grabbed her—but apparently she had exerted a little more force to be free, and she stumbled and fell straight to the back, and before Edward could even show her strength, she had already slammed her ass into a metal bracket, and then there was a series of crackling and screeching sounds!
Of course, the Psychic Warlock just didn't bother to spend more psionic points on her.
"Thief?"
Edward frowned, but while he was considering whether to give this guy a mastery technique to get her to cooperate a little, the shouting and noise seemed to have caused more trouble, and seventeen or eighteen guys swarmed out of the room, and surrounded him menacingly.
"What's going on? Ina, you don't matter, right? Also, who are you?"
"Oops, Ina you're bleeding, quick, I've got a healing potion here......"
"Stupid, the crystal fragments are very sharp, I'll help you suck them out......"
"Haven't you seen this guy before? Why don't you even wear a badge? Who is the apprentice of the real yàn room? How dare you come here to spread wild!"
"Strange, how did he get in? Oh no, the goddess of magic is on top, our Purifying Potion! Three crystal bottles have been reimbursed, and six high-grade crystal vessels...... Don't run away, bastard, compensate me according to the price!"
The few guys who gathered around were obviously not sane guys, especially a few male creatures who looked a little taller - the females who rushed into the cupboard had a decent face, enough for them to secrete enough excess hormones to stimulate the brain and lower their IQ. Three or five of them immediately acted as gentle and caring messengers for the flowers, and the rest of the guys who were a little slower chose to contribute as a matter of course.
However, these guys finally haven't had a hot head enough to be ashamed of their identity, and although a few of them obviously have wands in their drooping sleeves, none of them have chosen to replace the inquiry with action.
"What the hell are you......"
"Ah......h
The commotion continued for a moment, and eventually, the eldest of them all stepped forward, but as soon as he spoke, a screech sounded behind him. Direct everyone's eyes in that direction.
Edward turned his gaze to notice the shouting fellow, who seemed to be one of his own apprentices, and the poor fellow's mouth opened as the eyes of his companions gathered around him instantly. Finally remembered and bent down deeply: "I'm sorry, Edward Apprentice, excuse me...... What is the matter with you here?"
"Edward's apprentice?"
The name seemed to have a special magic, a group of originally indignant guys immediately looked at each other, and then hung their heads in silence, the blood in their heads instantly returned, they hid their faces in the shadow of the hood, and the huge space was unexpectedly audible for a while. A few guys who were menacing just now subconsciously took a few steps back in unison, and even a few wanted to cover themselves with the help of shadows such as those bookshelves. The faces of surprise and even horror, and the superficial thinking that rises up in a mess. Edward couldn't help but shake his head.
Am I so terrible?
"Where did those apprentices from Krurod go. Does anyone know?" coughed lightly. He repeated his words: "Also, what is the so-called thief?"
"I'm sorry about that. Your Excellency the Master of Apprentices. Glancing at each other, the oldest of the apprentices bent over: "About Krurod, well, those apprentices, they haven't come to the real room to report since the day before yesterday." ”
"As for the thief......," he paused, and he peeked at the figure in front of him, who seemed to be smaller than him, and then snorted, and continued with an effort to organize his words: "There are no thieves, Master Apprentice. There may be some misunderstanding here...... It's just, ahem, because the timing of their disappearance is a little, that. In short, because last night we 6 reappeared, there were at least five or six people whose magic books were missing, and there were still a batch of magic props missing from this real yàn room, and Mentor Minahir was working on his own real yàn, so we couldn't bother. So, so ......"
"What. ”
Edward couldn't help but laugh.
The magic book is a necessary prop for mages to cast spells, and it is also valuable in itself - the detailed process and circle of each spell will be copied on it, as long as you have the ability to cast the corresponding ring, you can roughly understand the secret of a spell when you get it, and some mages' spell books will also copy their methods of improving spells, so it is a valuable thing.
The problem is that spellbooks don't have a one-time effect like scrolls, they can be copied from each other.
Indeed, Cecilia and the others came to Romante for a simple purpose, to learn as many spells as possible, but how could they be interested in the apprentice's spell book?
How many skilled spells can an apprentice master? At best, it is four or five rings capped, and although Krurod does not have many mages in existence, he must not have paid so much attention to these spells that can buy scrolls in the market. Not to mention that if you make a problem to steal something like this, you're sure to ruin the opportunity to learn the mysteries of the spell...... This kind of loss-making business is impossible for a person in their right mind, and although border dwellers like the Romantes have always been contemptuously called barbarians, that doesn't mean that they are really intellectually bankrupt and full of teasing.
"Yes, Master Apprentice, this and this, this is just some idle rumor...... Your Excellency, the apprentice, but they really haven't come to the real room recently, and the tasks assigned to them by the teacher have not been completed. ”
"None of you know where they live? I remember not far away, right?"
"We went to their dwellings, but there was no one except a few servants, who had not returned there in recent times. ”
Edward's brow furrowed.
Although Cecilia's apprentices were unreliable, absenteeism for no reason didn't seem to be their style, or rather the opposite—what would they do to halt their pursuit of magic unless their lives were at stake?
Let's hope it's not that much of a hassle.
But in fact, it was already very troublesome - there were really not many places for these Krurods to go other than their residences, except for the Magic Academy, and then only the palace was left.
Edward let out a sigh.
He didn't like the inference.
Although Cecilia's self-directed farce has come to an end, after the wedding, there is no one who has nothing to do to investigate this marriage that has been approved by the gods. What's more, there were a lot of things after that, and recently His Majesty the King was 'not in good health', so the original slight suspicion had long been replaced by newer things, and no one paid attention to it.
But there's no guarantee that nothing will go wrong. So under normal circumstances, Cecilia should not go back to the palace...... But now there doesn't seem to be much of an alternative to this place.
Edward turned and disappeared into a halo of teleportation, leaving the hapless group to lament their scrapped test props.
"I said, are you sure, that guy...... No, is he the same Edward?" It was only after a half-bang that a sluggish fellow finally regained his ability to think, and turned to the civilian apprentice beside him who had first recognized the Psychic Warlock.
"That's right, even though his head turned out to be black. The guy who was asked shrunk his neck and glanced at the place where the psychic warlock had disappeared: "I have long heard that he is very favored in front of Albert's ** master." But that's too ...... Too strong, right? You don't feel it. There was a chill in him. I can't even speak as long as he speaks......"
"It must be not easy to kill a guy who can kill a ** division, alas. If you say that, you really can't provoke those Krurod people lightly in the future...... By the way, no wonder he said it was, didn't he give those guys advanced magic a long time ago, didn't he have to steal from us?"
"And who do you say stole those things?"
"How do I know?"
"But did he really kill a ** teacher? How did he do it? Didn't he say that there are no shortcuts on the road of magic? He just entered the academy this year, right? Even if he was a student of Albert ** teacher, it was impossible for him to ...... so quickly. Even the youngest ** master in the legend seems to have become a ** master in his twenties, and he started learning spells at the age of two, and it took him eighteen years?"
"Who knows, though. Maybe His Excellency Albert sent him to some other plane? I've heard that time passes much faster in some planes than in the main material plane, one day on our side, and a year there. ”
"Then how could his appearance not have changed?"
"It's rare and weird, a lot of mages do some disguise, right?"
"Deliberately pretending to be thirteen or fourteen years old with magic? ”
"What powerful mage isn't a quirk? Besides, his own age has increased, but there are always people who have not grown in age, such as this Krurod man he came to...... I've heard from a few of the seniors before me that it's his lover......"
"Really?"
"Someone saw them ...... in the hallway" "Wow!" "Ah......hh
"I have to admit that I am unlucky, the mentor and he know him, so he probably won't embarrass us...... Who let us meet a love, no, it's the apprentice who is shaken by the heart of spring? It's understandable that people are anxious to see their lover, hahaha......"
......
Of course, there is a huge gap between these garbled evaluations and the facts, but there is no doubt that one thing is right.
Edward was indeed in a hurry to find Cecilia.
Either way, it's a fact that these Krulrod's apprentices are weird, and unconventional actions often mean problems-
Although the central institutions are heavily guarded in any country, the Louvre Fort today is tenfold vigilant - the sun outside is just tilting to the west, but the gates of the palace have been tightly closed, and groups of royal guards and knights have begun to patrol around the imperial city in full armor, and everyone's face is full of solemnity as if they are facing a great enemy.
What's worse is that now that Prince Strand's army is on the march, Edward doesn't even have an acquaintance in the court, and even if there is a reason to go in, it would be a big problem to want to meet with the queen.
Of course, that's just a problem.
"She had been saying she was unwell since ten days ago, and then she started to have a fever, and we got a few priests to treat her, but the effect seemed to last only a few hours!, and we ......," said one of the apprentices
These guys have no relatives in Romante, and no one has asked them since the king was cursed and sick, and there is really no other place to ask for help except to choose to come to the queen.
But for no reason, how could it be burned?
"Her Royal Highness the Princess...... She ......" This guy snorted and gasped, but he couldn't speak with his mouth wide open, and his face gradually turned purple!
"Calm down!" Edward's eyes flashed silver, and the power of psionic energy soothed the unfortunate fellow's mind, and also suppressed his breathing, so that he finally calmed down, and after a few more breaths, he spoke, "She's gone!"
Damn, what are you afraid of......
Edward cursed, but was not interested in talking to the guy, "Didn't someone watch her?"
"Yes, ahem, but...... I don't know, it's gone! The window in her room was open, and I don't know where she went. ”
