Chapter 95: Chapter 94: He is Silver Level?
Micro Magic Runes, as the most fundamental means of utilizing elemental power, are the cornerstone of most Magic Models and the soul of Spells.
Because of the difficulty in observing and controlling Micro Magic Runes, most Mages only dabble in the study and research of these runes, content to understand and successfully construct Magic Models without wanting to invest more effort.
However, Yousef knew that studying and researching Micro Magic Runes was the correct path to truly mastering elemental power and ascending to the pinnacle of legend.
And Lis, as a Mage at the Silver Early Stage, possessed a remarkably high level of control over Micro Magic Runes.
Yousef was certain that even Bernie, who had dedicated time to studying Micro Magic Runes, was far from Lis’s level.
Moreover, Lis remained exceedingly humble in his communication with Yousef, devoid of any self-satisfaction.
...
Therefore, Yousef was completely satisfied with Lis no matter how he looked at him, almost ready to flaunt Lis in front of his old friends at that very moment.
No hurry, no hurry, since Little Lis is still a student at the Magic Academy, it’s better to clarify their relationship first.
Lis earnestly sought Yousef’s advice on the mass production of Enchanted Products, after all, although he, Mora, and Bernie might be good in terms of other experience, they were indeed not as skilled as Yousef, the master, in this area.
Yousef naturally would not refuse and patiently explained the basics to Lis, promising that if he encountered any troubles in the future, he could come directly to him for help.
The promise of a Magic Rune Master was indeed precious!
Lis felt grateful, to be honest, although he really hoped to gain Yousef’s support before coming here, he never expected Yousef to be so decisive and supportive.
As a result, Lis almost spent the entire day at the Fifth Magic Workshop, only leaving as evening approached.
When leaving, Bernie personally escorted Lis downstairs, prompting the ordinary research students on the second floor to speculate about the identity of the person who had made their senior apprentice brother so proactive.
After arranging to meet Bernie at his place the next day, Lis left with light steps, still puzzled as he felt like he had forgotten something.
Moments later, Lis came back, found Angela who had already fallen asleep on the third floor, placed her on his shoulder, and then left with peace of mind.
He had forgotten his bodyguard!
Today’s gains were significant, and there was no need to expend too much effort in improving the “Self-Charging” Magic Rune!
With Yousef and Bernie backing him, he could focus his energy elsewhere first.
If he went to see Mora tomorrow…
That would be easy to discuss, but he still needed the support of Baron Carl and Duke Hade to utilize the strength of the Golden Vine Flower Commerce and the Radiant United Commerce.
It’s not a simple matter at all!
Lis felt a bit of a headache, but there was no choice, to secure greater interests, spending this energy and time was necessary.
After all, there’s no such thing as a free lunch, right?
As Lis’s thoughts meandered, he suddenly remembered the Secret Treasure “Acadia’s Lucky Brooch” on him.
If he didn’t use it in times of danger, would he actually encounter some stroke of incredible luck?
But considering the misfortune he was set to face later, it was better not to jinx himself.
As Lis pondered, he coincidentally passed by the Academy’s practice arena, which was specially designated for students to practice their Spells or spar with each other, equipped with a Defensive Magic Array so there was no need to worry about injuring bystanders.
Seeing a few people watching in the arena, it seemed there was a match going on.
Lis didn’t pay much attention, his mind mostly occupied with the matters he would be discussing tomorrow.
Just as Lis was about to leave and head to the Academy gates to take a carriage home,
suddenly, his Spiritual Sense emitted a warning, and Lis turned around sharply.
The sounds of an explosion and shattering filled his ears, while the onlookers at the arena let out cries of alarm.
For some reason, the Magic Array in the arena broke apart under the attack of a Wind Element Slashing spell cast by a student, and the Wind Blade continued on its trajectory, heading straight for Lis.
Seeing its power, it must be around the strength of a High-level Bronze.
Lis’s mind sharpened, and an Advanced Elemental Shield shimmering with faint white light emerged beside him.
Before the Wind Blade could strike the shield, the dozing Angela on Lis’s shoulder opened her eyes a crack. A speck of blood-colored light appeared out of thin air and shattered the Wind Blade to pieces.
The dissipating airflow fluttered the corners of Lis’s clothes, but his expression was somewhat inscrutable.
“Sorry about that, fellow student, you weren’t hurt, were you?”
The two magicians who were sparring in the field hurried over, profusely apologizing. From their anxious manner, it seemed they hadn’t expected the defensive magic array on the field to fail.
“No harm done, I wasn’t injured anyway,” Lis said to them with a smile, appearing as if he wasn’t too concerned about the incident.
The pair continued to apologize, and after Lis waved his hand dismissively, he promptly left.
Interesting!
Lis sauntered slowly toward the academy’s entrance, mulling things over.
Coincidence?
Lis never believed in such coincidences.
There’s just over a month left until the Sacrificial Festival. Are they getting restless?
I’m curious to see what other ‘coincidences’ await me!
—————–
Robert was in a secret hideout in Bright City, waiting for a response from his subordinates.
Ever since he received the mission from the Second Prince, not only had he not found Camus, but Lis kept disappearing to who knows where, returning home only to stay cooped up there.
This left Robert utterly unable to carry out his task of probing.
Today, he finally got word that Lis had visited the Fifth Magic Workshop at the Feis Royal Magic Academy again. Robert rushed to set up his men on Lis’s usual route, in preparation to test Lis’s capabilities.
The field’s defensive magic array was specifically tampered with, and an “accidental” Wind Blade — neither too conspicuous nor too weak — was just right to elicit the information Robert wanted.
Why haven’t they returned yet? How long was that Lis in the workshop?
Robert glanced out the window at the sky, tinted blood-red by the setting sun, looking both enchanting and somewhat dangerous.
Boom~
The door was pushed open from the outside. The person entering seemed to be in a hurry.
Robert turned around and saw that the newcomer was his subordinate from the Magic Academy, the same student who had nearly “accidentally” hurt Lis.
Robert walked over to his chair, sat down, and took a leisurely sip of wine from his glass, calmly waiting for his subordinate’s report.
That was Robert’s principle — no matter what happens, always stay composed. To be a leader, one had to be like that, or else how could he keep his followers in line?
“Lord Robert, we did as you ordered and tested Lis,” the subordinate reported.
“I’m confident that Lis himself must be a Silver Rank mage!”
Spurt~cough cough!
Robert completely forgot to keep his composure, and the wine he had just swallowed spurted out, his face wearing an expression of utter disbelief as he looked at his subordinate.
What the hell!
Silver Level?
