Immortal In The Magic World

by Stayrr

Eli was transmigrated to a world of magic and became immortal. He had endless life and could never die. “Huh? I’m talentless? Then, I’ll just train for as long as I need, even if it takes 1000 years. That should be enough for me to become strong.” “The skill is hard to learn? Then, I’ll take a few dozens of years to research it. There’s no way it’s that hard, right?” “What? I can s

Chapter 33: The gold-devouring demon-Harry Potter

Translator: Lonelytree

"It's much easier than I thought!"

Back home, Eli hung his black clothes on the hanger, took off his hat, and then walked to the wine cabinet to pour himself a glass of wine.

The operation this time was much smoother than what Eli had imagined.

First of all, it was because of Evans' cooperation that he was able to get in touch with the " big client " very smoothly. Second, the security at the casino was not strict, which allowed him to leave easily. And finally, with the help of the dark concealment spell, he was able to avoid being found.

Dark concealment was a zero-circle spell that allowed Mages to hide in the shadows of the dark. It was most effective in the dark as it was almost impossible to see one with the naked eye.

Of course, he actually had another option, which was to kill David and Jones and then leave. But that would be too bloody, and Eli didn't want to cause too much trouble.

He was a law-abiding citizen of Jun Lin city!

How could he do things like fighting and killing?

"Let's take stock of our gains." Eli put down his glass and took out his money bag.

He had a total of 29 golden tarls, one he had brought, and 465 silver tarls won from other casinos, of which 400 were won, and the rest he had brought.

So, this time, he earned a total of 32 golden tarls. After deducting the rental price of the clothes, the mortgage, and the rental of the carriage, the total profit was about 31 golden tarls.

As for why the mortgage of the clothes had to be deducted, it was naturally because he couldn't return the clothes, as it might cause unnecessary trouble.

"I'm rich."

For the first time, Eli felt the terrifying speed at which knowledge was transformed into money.

In one night, no, in about half an hour, he had earned 31 gold tarls. It was the kind of money he would only earn in decades. It was simply terrifying.

"This experiment will last for a long time." Eli walked to the window in a good mood.

The lack of money had always been his biggest problem, but this time, it should be enough to last him for a while.

'no, the experiment's consumption is more than I thought. Maybe this money isn't enough!' Suddenly, as if recalling the previous experiment, Eli frowned.

He didn't know how long the experiment would last, but if it kept going like this, he was afraid that thirty gold tarls wouldn't be enough for long. Besides, he didn't just need money for this experiment.

The speed at which money was spent was not slow at all when it came to the research of sorcery.

As he gradually became more and more experienced, he realized how difficult it was.

Knowledge would always be the foundation of a wizard, but some knowledge could not be obtained without money.

"Maybe..." as he thought, Eli looked out the window.

It was nighttime, but two areas were still brightly lit.

One was Liuying Street, and the other was moon alley.

But at this moment, his gaze did not stop at the street, but at the moon Lane.

Moca casino was not the only casino in moon alley. Since his attempt was successful, why not repeat it a decade later?

Moca casino will definitely not tell anyone about what happened today. The outside world will only know that someone won a lot of money at Moca casino today. With Eli's understanding of the casino, there was no way they would tell anyone about this.

"Therefore, the next three days, a week, or even a month should be a safe period!"

After thinking it through, Eli's eyes gradually lit up.

"I'm sorry, the King of Gamblers, Harry Potter, will be haunting the casinos again."

...

In the next half a month, every casino in moon alley experienced the most terrifying robbery since its establishment. Every casino, big or small, had been visited by a man named Harry Potter.

Every casino hated this person, especially the owners of the casinos.

Because every time they heard this name, it meant that they had lost a large number of golden tarls, but they could not catch him at all. Even if they sent out elite Knights, it seemed that they could not catch him. He was like a demon.

At first, these bosses also asked the people in the casino to keep this a secret. However, during a gathering, someone suddenly mentioned this name. Many casino bosses also knew about it. After chatting, they found out that everyone had been " robbed.

Since then, there had been an arrest warrant led by seven or eight big casinos in the underworld.

500 golden tarls for Harry Potter's head.

Even if one only provided information, it was worth ten gold tarls. For a moment, countless Wanderers and gangs in Junlin city went crazy, but when they were ready to look for him, they found that the casino didn't even know what he looked like.

There were a few casino staff who provided portraits, but every one of them was different. Moreover, Harry Potter had obviously been in disguise, and there was no way to find him.

The craze lasted for a full month before it finally stopped.

If there were people who hated him, there would naturally be people who loved him.

The higher-ups hated him, while the people on the ground loved him.

At the same time, a sentence was also heard.

'If you meet Harry Potter, please believe in him because he is a God.

'As long as he doesn't want to lose, he can't lose.

'If you meet Harry Potter, as long as you believe in him, you will definitely make a lot of money. If you are a little braver, you could even achieve wealth and freedom.'

Most of the people at the bottom of society boasted about this. Many of them claimed that they had met Harry Potter and made a lot of money.

With their publicity, Harry Potter's fame spread far and wide.

Some people called him the devil's hand, the King of Kings, while others called him the magic hand, the nemesis of casinos. But the most famous of them all was the gold-gobbling devil.

In an instant, the reputation of the gold-gobbling demon Harry Potter spread rapidly.

He had become the idol of many gamblers.

They all hoped that one day, they could be like Harry Potter, dominating the casino and leaving in a carefree manner.

...

"Gold-eating demon!"

Eli smiled as he looked at the newspaper. He didn't expect the newspaper to actually write down the incident and print it out. historical

It had been more than half a month since he left the last casino.

Thanks to the behavior of various casinos, he could be so unscrupulous. In just half a month, he swept through many casinos and took away a large number of gold tarls.

He now had a total of three hundred gold tarls.

'I only wanted to earn some money for experimental materials, but now I'm afraid it'll be enough for many years.' It was as if he had discovered a new world, and even Eli was filled with emotions.

He put down the newspaper, put on his usual work clothes, and prepared to go to work.

'The casino incident was just a small disturbance. It was time to return to normal life.'

After tidying up his face, Eli opened the door and walked out.

He walked toward the library.

Mixed in with the crowd, he was just like an ordinary person.

Chapter 34: First Phase Completed

Translator: Lonelytree

"Eli!"

Soon, Eli arrived at the library. Coincidentally, Herman had just arrived as well. However, he couldn't hide the smile on his face. He must have encountered something wonderful.

The two of them walked up to the second floor.

Eli didn't ask because he knew that Herman wouldn't be able to resist telling him.

Sure enough, a few seconds later, Herman, who was next to him, saw that he didn't respond. He took the initiative to approach him and said, "Eli, I'm so happy today."

"Oh!" Elie nodded and continued walking.

Seeing that Eli was still ignoring him, Herman suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if he was constipated. However, a few seconds later, he couldn't help but lean forward and say, " Eli, do you still remember when I said I was tricked? "

"I remember. Why? Did you gamble again? Aren't you afraid that teacher will beat you to death? " Eli turned around and looked at Herman in confusion.

With this kid's intelligence, he could do anything.

"How is that possible? Didn't I tell you that I was dragged there by someone else?" Herman quickly denied it. Then, he whispered into Eli's ear, "That person is dead."

"?" Eli was puzzled.

"Yes, I think he was beaten to death by the people at the casino. Although he's really pitiful, I'm really happy." Herman sighed and added, "He cheated me of my money but lost his life. I didn't lose anything this time!"

What a strange way of consoling himself!

"His name is Evans!" While they were walking, Herman suddenly said.

Evans?

Upon hearing this familiar name, Eli was taken aback. Wasn't this the young man who had led him to be deceived the other day?

"Oh, right, and that casino, it seems that it's not doing well recently. It closed a few days ago!"

Moca casino closed.

Eli admitted that he did earn some money there, and he had been there a few times after that. He just made a small profit, but it closed down right away. He had overestimated the ability of these casinos to withstand pressure.

But that wasn't necessarily the case. Maybe other casinos wanted to annex it. Moca casino was not a very big casino, to begin with, and could only be considered a medium-sized casino.

"I heard that it was done by an outsider. It's a pity that he's not here. Otherwise, I would have kowtowed to him on the spot." Herman was amazed and said with a smile.

Eli smiled and didn't say anything.

Soon, the two of them started working after visiting scholar Clement.

...

After the matter at the casino was over, Eli's life also returned to normal. He paced back and forth between home and the library, occasionally going to the base in the valley outside the city to conduct some experiments.

During this period, there was no news from count Gimori's side, so Eli was free.

With sufficient funds, Eli also purchased a large number of materials from Roland for experiments.

Of course, in order to avoid Roland's suspicion, he also blurred Roland's memory with magic so that it wouldn't be leaked. After all, trust was trust, but he couldn't lose the necessary caution.

In any case, to the outside world, he was just a scholar without any combat ability.

He could improve his status and social circle without any scruples, but he would never expose his strength. The former would only make people think that there was a good scholar in the Empire, and the high-ranking people would not care too much about it. It would even make him safer, but the latter might make some people feel fear.

Moreover, he would only be able to obtain more resources if his social circle improved.

Hiding was for development, not because of cowardice.

...

"Experiment one hundred and thirty-sixth, failure!"

In the laboratory, Eli threw away the experimental waste again with a calm expression. Although he failed, he didn't feel discouraged because as time passed, he felt that he was getting closer and closer to completing the first stage.

The experiment had been going on for a month, and he had failed every time.

"No rush!" Eli took out a new set of materials from the side and continued his experiment.

For a moment, the bright basement fell into silence again, with only the sound of Eli operating the instrument.

"Experiment number one hundred and thirty-seventh, failure."

"The 138th experiment, failure."

...

"The 201st experiment, failure."

...

"The 301st experiment, success!"

Three months later, Eli finally succeeded in the first stage.

Eli looked at the potion that had been roughly concocted in front of him. It was actually faintly emitting a wave that was close to spiritual power. He felt a little excited. He had finally found a substitute experimental material for the original formula.

The next step was to adjust the comparison of these materials and then finally concoct the potion.

"When that time comes, my spiritual power will be able to grow rapidly. It might not take that long!" Eli was a little happy too.

His current spiritual power should be around 6.3, and with a rate of 0.5 per year, it would take 7.4-8 years. If he could formulate the potion, it would greatly shorten the time.

Although he didn't really care about the time, this advancement would reduce a lot of his concerns.

Once he advanced to a level 2 apprentice, his combat power would increase again. He wasn't sure about Grand Knights, but anyone below that would be easily beaten. His survival ability would also increase.

At that time, even if he was really exposed, he didn't need to have so many concerns. At most, he would just run away.

"Next up is the second stage, which is the detailed replacement."

Eli took a deep breath and prepared to continue his experiment.

However, when he went to get the materials, he realized that he had used up all the experimental materials without knowing it. There was nothing left.

"It looks like I'll have to go find Roland again." Since there were no more materials, Eli could only proceed with other work.

As for continuing the experiment, he would have to wait for the new batch of materials to arrive.

...

"Are there no more purple irises? "

It was a familiar room. Eli was puzzled.

"Yes." Roland nodded and said helplessly, " I have all the other materials you want, and I can help you find them. But I really can't find purple irises now!

"Why?" Eli was still a little dazed.

He had come to Roland today to order materials, only to be told that one of the materials, called purple irises, could not be found.

However, the purple irises were the most important ingredient in potions and were completely irreplaceable. If he really didn't have any, his potion experiment couldn't be completed.

"Here's the thing. The purple irises can only be found in rock Manor, which is outside the city. It seems to be a unique plant there and was transplanted from a very far place. A few days ago, Rock Manor suddenly stopped selling them. It seems that they are not going to continue selling them!" Roland explained.

"This sucks!" Eli sucked in a breath of cold air.

This meant that he couldn't continue his experiment.

"I really don't have a choice. Oh, right, that Manor belongs to the Count Alina family. Don't you know count Gimori? he seems to be very familiar with the Alina family. Perhaps you can ask him for help." Roland gave a suggestion.

When Roland said this, Eli actually recalled the ball from half a year ago. Didn't Alex belong to the Alina family? Unfortunately, he had no way to contact him, and the two of them were not familiar with each other.

On the other hand, he was more familiar with count Gimori, and he might really be able to get help from him.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help you!" Roland apologized.

"It's okay. I'm already very happy that you can help me find the others." Eli smiled. He had no reason to blame Roland.

"Then I'll take my leave first." Since there were no materials, Eli didn't plan on staying any longer. He bade farewell to Roland and left.

On the way home, Eli was filled with mixed feelings.

It was not good for a good experiment to face the risk of failure.

"I can only ask Count Gimori for help."

Eli thought about it and soon returned home.

When he walked into the courtyard, he found that there was a letter in the mailbox at the door. historical

Eli opened it and found that it just so happened to be from Count Gimori.

The letter told him that the rest of the horses had arrived at the stable and hoped that he would go over.

Chapter 35: Purple Irises

Translator: Lonelytree

"The horses are here. I can also take this opportunity to meet count Gimori."

Eli kept the letter. In this world, the most common means of communication was through letters.

Count Gimori would stay at Moore Manor for a few days every month. If Eli remembered correctly, the count would be in the manor tomorrow, so Eli only needed to go there tomorrow, and he should be able to see the count.

It could only be said that the horse came at the right time.

"I hope the count can help me," Eli shook his head and walked into the room.

If he really couldn't rely on the count, then he might have to rely on other channels, but that would be very troublesome and might have unknown risks. He would rather choose to give up.

The worst result would be to take it slow.

He was the one who had the agency.

...

The next day, after renting a carriage, Eli set off for the Moore Manor.

It didn't take long for Eli to arrive at the manor, and he was led by the manor's maidservant in the direction of the horse track. This was the same process as the last time, where he was led to the horse track by the maidservant, got his money, and was finally sent back to the city by the manor. historical

"Let's train the horse first." The count would be in the manor the whole day, so Eli was not in a hurry. He planned to meet the Count after everything was over.

Soon, he arrived at the horse track.

It seemed that all the remaining horses had been sent here today. There were a total of thirty horses.

The staff of the stable brought the horses out in batches, and then they were tamed by Eli.

During this process, the horse tamers on the racecourse were also staring at Eli's movements as if they wanted to learn something. Unfortunately, they couldn't even understand how Eli trained the horse.

"A natural-born horse tamer!" As they watched the horses being tamed one by one, all the horse Tamers were once again convinced by Elie.

It was around eight o 'clock in the morning when Eli arrived, and by ten O' clock, his mission was already completed.

Although there were many horses, Eli was very efficient. Eli could have been much faster to cast his spell in an area of effect, but that would be a little too shocking.

"This is three gold tarls!" As usual, the maid handed the gold tarls to Eli and was about to send him off, but this time Eli stopped her and said, "I want to see the count."

"Mr. Eli, do you want to see the count? The count is indeed in the manor at the moment, but I need to report to the Butler first and then inform the count. Is that alright?" The maidservant was also a little surprised when she heard this. She hesitated for a moment and said.

"Of course," Eli nodded.

Then, the maidservant brought Eli to the castle, left him outside the castle, and went in alone to report.

Very quickly, the maidservant came out. Looking at Eli, she said, "the Earl is upstairs, but he might not be able to see you. However, the Butler is there too. You can go in and have a chat with him."

'Unable to see me? Could something have happened?'

Eli nodded and then followed the maidservant into the castle.

In the living room, Eli saw the Butler. He was an old man with silver hair, a face full of wrinkles, but bright eyes, and a straight body.

"Mr. Eli, I'm sorry. His Excellency, the count, is troubled by something today, so he might not be able to see you!" The Butler saw Eli coming in and walked over to apologize.

"Butler Helen, what happened? Perhaps I can provide some help." He knew the Count's butler, so he asked politely.

"Something did happen, but you might not be able to help." The Butler shook his head and sighed.

"You haven't told me yet, so how do you know I can't help?" Eli smiled.

"Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you. But you can't tell anyone about this!" The Butler was more familiar with Eli now, so he shook his head and started talking about the Count's troubles.

Count Gimori was a Grand Knight, and he had become a noble by virtue of his contributions. After becoming a noble, count Gimori also started to invest in businesses in order to earn more money.

As his business grew, he naturally needed a bigger backer.

The Gimori family was backed by the Alina family.

However, a few days ago, Marquis Alina had suddenly been poisoned and fallen into a coma. The entire Marquis' family had fallen into chaos. Naturally, the Gimori family, which was backed by the Marquis, was also greatly affected. Count Gimori was also very upset by this.

"The Marquis was poisoned?"

Eli seemed to have understood a lot in an instant. No wonder Rock Manor had stopped selling purple irises. It turned out that the Marquis had been poisoned.

When the Marquis died, and a new Marquis took over, the purple irises would probably be re-sold.

Eli's heart was at ease.

As for the Marquis's death, it had nothing to do with him.

However, the Butler's next words immediately stirred up Eli's emotions again. He sighed and said, " I heard that the Marquis was poisoned when he was patrolling Rock Manor. I don't know what's in the manor. I heard that Rock Manor is closing down. It's a pity that the crops inside might have been destroyed."

Eli's eyes widened. How could this be?

If that were true, wouldn't there be no more purple irises in the future?

Eli pondered, feeling like he should do something.

The Butler was also very depressed. The Count was kind to Eli, and if the interests of the Gimori family were damaged, he would definitely be affected as well. But what could he do?

"Perhaps I can provide some help!"

The Butler raised his head and looked at Eli.

...

In the study, count Gimori sat on a chair. In front of him were the various problems that the family had encountered recently. Ever since the Marquis had been poisoned, the family's business had been affected one after another.

He was very upset, but he had no choice.

Many famous doctors of the Empire and mystics had gathered in the Marquis's house to try to detoxify the poison, but they had made no progress. They could only keep the poison from spreading.

At first, he also wanted to find someone to help him detoxify the poison. If he succeeded, then he would have a higher status in front of the Marquis. However, after looking around, he could not find that person at all.

After all, the best doctors in the Empire were either in the mystic academy or the palace.

"Maybe I should give up some of my business." If the Marquis were really dead, then he would have to think about the future.

Alex, the eldest son of the Marquis family, might not have the ability to control that large family. When the time came, the Marquis' wife might help to take charge, but he and the Marquis 'wife did not know each other very well.

"Let's withdraw the business first." Count Gimori sat down and thought.

At the same time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" The Count was a little confused. Didn't he ask the Butler to keep the others outside?

The door opened, and the Butler walked in. He looked at the Count and said, "Your Excellency, someone wants to see you!"

Count Gimori looked over, and at that moment, Eli happened to follow him in. Looking at the count, he smiled and said, "my Lord, I heard that you've been in some trouble recently.

"Perhaps I can provide some help."

Chapter 36: Basic Antidote

Translator: Lonelytree

"You can help?"

In the study, count Gimori looked at Eli and asked.

"Yes, I think I can provide some help with the poisoning," Eli, who was sitting on the sofa, nodded.

Just now, the Butler had left after giving his report, so only Eli and the count were in the room.

"How are you going to help?" Count Gimori looked at Eli.

His understanding of Eli was that he was good at taming horses. However, he had never heard of scholar Clement being good at potions. Wasn't he mainly studying history?

"My Lord, last year, I happened to pass by a market and met an old man in a black robe. He was selling all kinds of strange things, including antidotes. I was studying botany at the time, so I bought two." Eli explained.

"I didn't pay much attention to the antidote at first, but one time when I went out with my senior, Herman, he was bitten by a venomous snake, and I panicked.

"However, I don't know what I was thinking at the time, but I actually took that bottle of medicine and gave it to my senior. He quickly woke up and recovered without any side effects."

Eli began to make up a story.

As for whether Herman was bitten by a snake or not, no one would care.

"Oh, so you're saying that you think your potion can cure the Marquis' poison? " The Earl was not a fool, so he naturally understood what Eli meant.

"Yes, I am!" Eli nodded.

"Eli, you're still too young. This poison isn't that simple. If it really were a simple poison, the Marquis would have recovered already." The count shook his head and stood up.

He believed that Eli had good intentions, but good intentions couldn't cure the poison!

How could there be such an all-purpose potion?

However, he still couldn't bear to hurt Eli's good intentions, so he waved his hand and said, " how about this? I'll get someone to get the medicine from you in the afternoon. I'll take a look."

"Alright!" Eli nodded.

"By the way, why are you doing this?" Count Gimori suddenly asked.

He was a little curious. He did not believe that Elie would do such a thing for no reason. Eli always knew his limits.

"My Lord, I've been studying Pharmacology recently, and I need a lot of purple irises. However, because the Marquis was poisoned, I heard that Rock Manor stopped operating. " Eli said directly without hiding anything.

"I understand." The count nodded. This made more sense.

"Then you can go back first. I'll send someone to get the medicine in the afternoon."

"Alright, I won't disturb you any longer." With his right hand on his chest, Eli turned around and left.

"Oh, by the way, my Lord, if it's really effective, please don't tell anyone that I'm the one who provided the potion." As if remembering something, he turned around and said, after taking two steps.

"No problem, I agree to your request." Count Gimori smiled.

Although he knew that the potion was definitely useless, he could see that Eli wanted to help him. If there was a chance, he even wanted to make Eli his consultant scholar in the future. Of course, that would have to be after Eli became a scholar.

After getting the Count's reply, Eli didn't hesitate this time and left immediately.

...

On the way back, Eli sat in the carriage, thinking about the matter.

He definitely could not be directly involved. After all, no one knew if the Marquis's poisoning had anything to do with anyone else. Perhaps it was the doing of some other major force.

If he was involved, he might get into trouble.

If he could use the Earl to save the Marquis, it would be equivalent to directly shifting the conflict.

Furthermore, as long as the Marquis did not say anything, no one would think that it was Eli's doing. After all, he was just an ordinary scholar. Who would think that he was the one who had helped?

And if he really succeeded, based on his understanding of the Count, he believed that the Count would definitely help him.

He only needed to provide the antidote.

As for why Eli was so confident, there was naturally a reason for it.

From Roland, Eli had already learned that the Marquis was not a Knight but an ordinary person who had been poisoned and unconscious for three days. This meant that the poison was definitely not very strong and was definitely below the supernatural level.

Coincidentally, there was a type of magic medicine in Saleen's notes called the basic antidote.

By extracting some transcendent elements and mixing them with some ingredients, one could obtain a potion that could completely remove non-transcendent toxins and alleviate ordinary toxins.

This was also the confidence that Eli had in his potions.

The principle of this magic medicine was to get rid of the foreign substances in the body. Therefore, no matter what kind of poison it was, as long as it entered the body and was below the transcendent level, it could definitely be removed.

It didn't matter what kind of poison it was as long as it wasn't a transcendent poison, it couldn't resist the power of the potion.

As for him, he only needed to sit at the back and watch how things developed.

...

In the afternoon, the count sent someone to retrieve the potions as promised.

Meanwhile, Eli continued his experiment.

Recently, he had been interested in alchemy and had started to learn this school of thought that he didn't know much about. The main reason was that once he had enough money, he could do the experiments he wanted to.

As for the news from the count, Eli didn't know what was going on either. After all, his job of taming horses had already ended, and the count was a busy man.

...

At night, In a Castle within the Gimori territory, in a luxurious room, Count Gimori was holding a potion bottle in his hand.

The potion bottle was shaped like a test tube, and it contained a bluish-purple liquid. If one looked closely, one could even feel a little golden light in the potion.

"Is this the potion?" The Count looked at the potion and fell silent.

Could this fancy potion really save the Marquis' life?

"I'd better not risk it!" Count Gimori shook his head and placed the potion on the table.

...

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

Early in the morning, when count Gimori had just woken up, the Butler suddenly came. My Lord, Marquis Alina's condition has suddenly become very dangerous. The people of the Empire's mystic academy are already trying to treat her, but there has been no progress. Should we also go? "

"Let's go." Count Gimori shook his head. historical

"Oh, right. Can you also bring along the doctors I found before?"

Naturally, he had been doing something for the past few days. He also found a few famous doctors.

"Clean up the carriage, and we'll be there in a while." This matter was related to his backer, so count Gimori did not dare to delay too much.

"Yes, my lord." The Butler quickly went out.

Twenty minutes later, a carriage was already waiting outside the castle. Two doctors were also waiting. They had been here for a while and were ready to set off at any time.

The count, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, appeared at the entrance of the castle and walked towards the carriage. The Butler stood by the side, ready to see the count off.

Count Gimori walked forward quickly. As a Grand Knight, he was very fast. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of the carriage. He stepped on the bench and was ready to get on the carriage.

However, just as he was about to enter the carriage, he suddenly thought of the confident words that Eli had said yesterday. He hesitated for a moment, then turned to the Butler and said, "Helen, go and get the potion bottle on the table in my study.

"Yes, master!"

Soon, the Butler returned with the potion. The Count glanced at it and pocketed it.

Although there was a high chance that it would be useless... What if it really worked?

Chapter 37: Alex in Despair

Translator: Lonelytree

After the Count entered the carriage, the coachman whipped the horse, and the carriage began to move.

Soon, the carriage entered the city. When the citizens saw that it was the Count's carriage, they all made way for it. The carriage did not slow down and quickly headed toward the destination.

In the carriage, count Gimori sat in the main seat, with two physicians sitting on either side. It was very quiet in the carriage, and no one made a sound. Suddenly, the count coughed, then looked to the side and asked, "doctors, do you think a potion can cure the Marquis 'poison? "

The two physicians were both in their forties, but they did not have much hair. One of them was stunned when he heard the Count's question, but he still answered, "That's not possible!"

"We don't know what kind of poison the Marquis is suffering from, but it should be a mixed poison. It's not possible to cure him with a bottle of medicine."

"Indeed. If it were that simple, the Marquis would not still be in a coma." The other person nodded in agreement.

"I see!" The count nodded and did not say anything.

He reached his right hand into his clothes and could still feel the hard and cold touch of the potion bottle.

...

Jun Lin city was not big, but it was not small either.

The Alina family's territory was to the West of Junlin, several kilometers away.

In just 20 minutes, the carriage had passed through the city, left the city, and arrived at its destination.

When they arrived at their destination, count Gimori alighted from the carriage. A middle-aged man in Black clothes came up to him and saluted, "Long time no see, my Lord."

He looked at the count and the two doctors behind him. He had an expression of understanding and said, " "My Lord, are you also here to help the Marquis?"

"Also?"

Count Gimori asked.

Were there that many people?

Very quickly, he knew that his guess was correct.

The man didn't say anything. He led count Gimori into the room. Soon, they arrived at a large living room.

The living room was already packed with people.

Count Gimori roughly estimated that there were dozens of them.

There were barons and Viscounts everywhere, and there were even a few counts. Of course, there were all kinds of doctors. Some of them were brought by nobles, while the others were from the Empire's mystic academy.

The nobles stood on one side, while the mystics were on the other side, led by a woman in a white robe. Count Gimori knew this woman. She was the woman who had asked him for investment with scholar Clement last time. The elegant student was also following behind her.

"How's the situation?" After bringing the count here, the Butler left. Count Gimori walked over and saw a familiar Viscount.

"Your Excellency!" The Viscount said respectfully when he saw him. He then began to explain the current situation.

"Ever since the Marquis had been poisoned and fell into a coma, the Marquis 'family had first asked their own doctors to help, but it was to no avail. Thus, they asked the mystics for help and successfully stabilized the Marquis' condition.

"However, that was all. They wanted to detoxify the poison, but they had no way to do so.

"But yesterday, the Marquis's situation had suddenly taken a turn for the worse, so many self-proclaimed nobles had come. Alina's family had not stopped them, as they had also hoped to gather everyone's strength to save the Marquis."

"Oh, isn't this count Gimori?"

Count Gimori was listening to The Viscount's report when a voice suddenly rang out.

He turned his head and saw a man in a gorgeous black suit walking toward him. Behind him was an old man with a white beard.

"Count Monchi!" Count Gimori frowned.

Count Monchi and he were both subordinates of the Marquis, but they didn't get along. They both wanted to win the support of the Marquis, but they were evenly matched.

"It seems like you're here to help too." Count Monchi looked at the two people behind count Gimori and laughed.

"Hmph, that's none of your business." Count Gimori did not stand on ceremony and glanced at him.

"Hehe, then you'll definitely lose this time." Count Monchi smiled and invited the old man behind him to come out. He said, " this is Doctor Robert. You might not have heard of his name, but he was once the chief doctor in the palace. Many doctors are his students now!

"The two doctors you brought are so young. They might not be able to do anything!"

The man was showing off.

The corner of count Gimori's mouth twitched. He was not in the medical business, and it had been a few days of hard work to find these two.

"Teacher!"

What happened next caught him even more off guard. As Doctor Robert walked out, the two doctors behind him actually walked out and bowed to the old man.

The two of them were actually Robert's former students.

"Haha!" Even Count Monchi did not expect this, and he laughed out loud.

"The Marquis's poison is very complicated. It's not something you two can handle." Robert was already very old, but his tone was still full of confidence.

"teacher, we were invited by count Gimori!" The two of them did not expect to meet their former teacher here, but they still stood on the Count's side.

"Yes." Robert nodded and did not say anything.

He had many students, and these two were just above average.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Count Gimori, it looks like you don't stand a chance this time." Count Monchi patted Count Gimori's shoulder and left.

Count Gimori took a few deep breaths and told himself that he was in a Marquis's house and could not use force.

Damn it. He was so angry that he had no way to refute it.

At the same time, the door to the living room suddenly opened, and a few doctors came out.

Count Gimori looked over. Through the door, he could see a room. There was a large bed in the room, and Marquis Alina was lying on the bed. Several of his immediate family members were around the bed.

"No!" The doctor walked to the Count and shook his head. They were brought here by the Count to help, but it seemed like they had not made any progress.

"Is there anyone else who has a way?" At this moment, someone else walked out of the door.

Alex looked at the large group of nobles and people from the mystic academy before him and sighed.

"Let us try again?" At this time, the old woman in the lead of the monastery stood up, followed by a few people.

"Alright!" Alex knew that these mystics had already been studying the illness for a few days, and he hoped that they would be of some help.

The mystics entered the room, and Alex ordered them to close the door.

The others waited.

Half an hour later.

The people from the monastery came out again with depressed looks.

"Anyone else wants to try?" Alex's tone became even more downcast.

"I'll do it." Count Monchi raised his hand.

"This is the former chief doctor of the palace, Doctor Robert!" He introduced him to Alex.

"Hello, Doctor Robert!" Alex's eyes lit up, and he invited the doctor and the Earl in before closing the door again.

An hour later.

The door opened, and Doctor Robert walked out with a frown. Monchi followed closely behind, silent. It was obvious that he had not found a way.

"it's impossible. The poison in the Marquis's body is a mixture of at least ten different types of poison. It has already penetrated deep into his internal organs. There's no other way." Robert said, shaking his head.

"Ah, even Doctor Robert can't solve it?" Robert was a big Shot in the medical circle, and many doctors knew him.

"I can't!" Robert didn't deny it.

However, his words were like a bolt of lightning to the other doctors.

Robert was once the chief doctor of the palace, and if he said no, it seemed like the Marquis was beyond saving.

For a moment, the room was filled with groans. historical

"Anyone else wants to try?" Alex was also in despair. The person lying inside was his own father.

"Oh, right. Count Gimori, do you want to try?"

At this time, Count Monchi, who was not far away, suddenly spoke as if he wanted to vent his frustration.

"Ahem, forget it. I'll take care of it."

So many people had failed, and the Marquis had already been given a death warrant by Robert. Count Gimori was ready to give up.

"Let's try!" Alex suddenly said with a mournful expression.

To him, there was still a little hope if he tried. He was like a drowning man who was unwilling to let go of the little bit of hope.

Count Gimori looked at the sorrowful Alex and thought of the potion that Eli had given him. He hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Alright then!"

"I'll try."

He was already here.

After all, he wouldn't be the only one who failed anyway.

"Let's go!" At this point, Alex couldn't be bothered with the etiquette of a noble, and he turned around and walked inside.

Count Gimori looked at the two doctors behind him, then the three of them walked into the room together, and the door closed again.

cough cough cough!

As soon as he entered the room, the first thing he smelled was the pungent smell of herbs, which came from Marquis Alina, who was lying on the bed.

The Marquis was lying on his bed with his eyes closed. His hair was brown, and his face was wrinkled from the years. But even so, he still gave off a faint sense of majesty.

However, the Marquis seemed to be in a terrible situation.

The bulging veins on his arms were bluish-purple in color, and even his lips were dark black. The family members of the Marquises were all around the bed.

Some of them were crying at the foot of the bed, some were standing by the side, watching everything, and some of them had unconcealed excitement on their faces. This made Gimori wonder if he would see something like this when he was on his deathbed.

On the other side, the two doctors brought by count Gimori had already gone up to check.

They gently pried open the Marquis' eyelids and could see that the Marquis' eyes were listless. Then the two of them discussed for a while and began to try to treat him. historical

Half an hour passed.

Count Gimori watched as the two of them busied about. They even used the Count's blood samples for experiments, but none of them worked.

Alex closed his eyes as he witnessed all of this.

He had seen the same procedure many times, but it was useless.

He suddenly felt that he should not continue like this. Instead of letting the Marquis continue to suffer, it was better to let him die with dignity.

"Forget it!"

In the quiet room, Alex finally spoke.

The two doctors stopped and looked at each other helplessly. After testing, the poison in the Marquis 'body was very tenacious and could not be removed. It would be fine if the Marquis was a Knight, but unfortunately, he was just an ordinary person.

"I'm sorry, my Lord." The two of them walked toward count Gimori with their heads lowered.

"I'll send you off." Said Alex, dejected.

Count Gimori was hesitating. He put his hand into his pocket as if he was hesitating whether to take out the bottle of potion. He did not know if it would really work.

"I have a bottle of potion here. I got it by chance last year. It might be able to detoxify the poison!" In the end, count Gimori still took out the magic potion.

Alex looked at the bluish-purple liquid in the potion bottle in the Count's hand and fell silent.

The others also looked at the potion with strange expressions. Could this potion really cure the poison?

"Let's give it a try." Count Gimori also knew that this was really outrageous, but he still said it out of curiosity.

"Alright." Alex nodded after a moment of hesitation.

One last time, just one last time.

The two doctors took a blood sample. The blood was abnormally black. The Count opened the potion and dropped it a little into the blood sample.

It was only a drop, and the bluish-purple medicine entered the reddish-black blood.

A sudden change occurred.

The blood started to turn red, and a layer of black substance appeared on the blood.

"Oh my God!" Alex's eyes widened.

The others also showed an expression of disbelief.

Alex took a few steps forward and took the blood. He looked at it, and it was a healthy red color. This made his entire body tremble.

"Quick, give it to father!"

Of course, it was impossible to use it so rashly. The medicine had to go through tests and be confirmed to be harmless before it was given to the Marquis.

Everyone looked at the Marquis as if they wanted to see something change.

A mouthful of black blood slowly flowed out of the Marquis 'mouth. His fingers, then his limbs, began to tremble. As the blood flowed out, the Marquis slowly opened his eyes.

No one dared to make a sound as they witnessed this.

When the Marquis spoke, Alex was the first to cheer.

...

At the same time, outside the room, Count Monchi was talking to the other counts.

"I'm telling you, the Marquis probably won't make it. We have to be prepared."

"Indeed. The mystics and Doctor Robert can't do anything. It seems like there's no hope." One of the counts nodded.

"Teacher, let's go!" The elegant young man behind the woman said.

The leading woman of the mystics nodded.

With their failure, they had lost all hope of saving the Marquis. After some discussion, they were ready to leave.

However, before they could walk out of the door, they suddenly heard a loud noise behind them.

The Marquis's door opened, and a man ran out, shouting, "The Marquis is awake, the Marquis is awake."

Everyone was stunned.

The noisy conference room instantly fell silent.

It only returned to normal after a few seconds.

Count Monchi stood there in a daze as if he couldn't believe this fact. How was this possible? How could count Gimori possibly have resolved such a terrifying poison?

The previously confident Robert also frowned and asked, "Are my two students that powerful?"

The mystics also stopped, wanting to know the specific information.

Such a complicated poison could actually be cured. The healer knew how to deal with the complications between different poisons.

For a moment, everyone in the room, from the Earl to the doctor, had their own thoughts and questions.

No one knew if the Marquis had really recovered or how.

...

The next day, Eli received the news that Marquis Alina had fully recovered.

It seems like there's a way to get the purple irises. Elie smiled and continued with his experiment.

In the next half a month, Junlin was in turmoil.

The news that the Marquis had woken up was more impactful than what Eli had imagined. It was impossible for such a violent poison to be natural. After the Marquis 'thunderous search, he found out that the poisoner was actually a Count's family. They had secretly mixed the poison into the Marquis' food.

This matter had a huge impact. Not only was a Count's family directly exterminated, but why would a Count have the guts to poison a Marquis?

And considering that Alina's family controlled an important iron mine in the Empire, the truth behind this was enough to make one's hair stand on end.

This also made Eli even more grateful that he wasn't directly involved in this matter.

He was just an ordinary librarian.

During this period of time, the Count did not look for him to talk about the purple irises. He was not in a hurry either. The Count had sent him a letter, telling him that he would look for him after the storm passed.

In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.

Count Gimori did come looking for him, but he did not bring the purple irises that Eli wanted. Instead, he brought another piece of news.

Marquis Alina wanted to see him.

Chapter 39: Conversation

Translator: Lonelytree

Sitting in the carriage heading to Alina's family, Eli looked at count Gimori with a bitter expression.

Count Gimori was also a little embarrassed. After all, he had made an agreement with Eli back then. Therefore, he could only apologize.

"It was indeed my fault, but you don't have to worry. I only told the Marquis because the Marquis asked. I can't do anything about it.

"Don't worry. You'll be safe." Count Gimori spread his hands.

"Thanks to you saving the Marquis and capturing the Earl, after reporting to the king, the Count's family was eliminated. I heard that it was related to something even bigger. I don't know how many people were captured.

"This should be the safest period of time in Junlin city."

A small bottle of medicine had caused the death of countless people and ruined many people's plans.

"Don't worry. In order to protect you, this meeting with the Marquis will be a secret. There will definitely be benefits, so don't worry."

Eli nodded and did not say anything else. After all, what had happened had already happened, and it was obvious that the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. The only bad thing was that he had been exposed.

However, this also served as a reminder to Eli. In the future, when he had reached a certain level, he must learn some curse-type or mental-type sorcery to ensure that his identity would not be exposed.

Along the way, the count was very talkative, and it was obvious that he was very happy.

After asking, he found out that it was because of the potion that count Gimori had become the Marquis 'most valued aide. With the Marquis' strong support, his family's power had once again expanded.

As for Earl Monchi, he was temporarily silenced.

Count Monchi would never have thought that he would be defeated by count Gimori after all the preparations he had made. What was even sadder was that count Gimori had announced to the public that the Marquis had been cured by two young apothecaries. This made Doctor Robert depressed, and he announced that he would retire. historical

As for the mystic sect, the students were in tears when they heard that there were many new poison-related courses.

...

The carriage was fast, but it didn't use the normal path. Instead, it entered the back door.

Eli and the others were guided along the way, and finally, Eli met Marquis Alina in a room.

At this time, Marquis Alina's condition was much better, but the white hair on his head had increased a lot. Fortunately, he looked very energetic and his eyes were bright.

It was hard to imagine that a month ago, this Marquis had almost died from poisoning.

"Lord Marquis, I've brought the person. I'll take my leave first."

After dropping Eli off, Gimori turned around and left the room, leaving the two of them some private space.

Eli was not worried either. After all, he was only a few meters away from the Marquis. If something were to happen, this distance was enough for him to kill the Marquis or kidnap the Marquis.

However, the chances of that happening were less than one in a thousand. After all, no one would risk a Marquis for him. He was just an ordinary librarian.

The Marquis looked at Eli with a smile. He probably never would have thought that in just a few seconds, Eli had already thought of how to abduct him and escape.

"ahem, I specifically called count Gimori to get you here for two reasons. One is about the potion I drank, and the other is about your reward." Said Marquis Alina.

' It seemed that the Marquis was very interested in potions.' Eli thought helplessly.

"I want to ask, do you still remember the person who sold you the potion? Can you describe them to me?" Count Alina looked at Eli with a warm gaze.

?

??

'What kind of logic is that? I just made up that person!'

"Uh, that person, he's wearing a black robe, his eyes are very bright, he looks very old, and his face is full of wrinkles." Eli even started to make up a story with a serious face.

"Yes, yes." The Marquis listened very seriously and kept nodding.

Eli also did not understand why the Marquis would be so interested in a person.

"Lord Marquis, if it's convenient, may I ask why you are so interested in that person? " After describing a common face, Eli asked with a puzzled look.

Marquis Alina shook his head and hesitated for a moment before saying, " I suspect that the potion you bought isn't simple. It's a real secret, but since you saved me, I can tell you.

"Do you know when the Empire was established?"

"Of course, the Empire was established three hundred years ago." Eli nodded. He was naturally very clear about these things.

"Then do you know the name of the first king of the Empire?" Marquis Alina asked again.

"the first king's name was Merlin the first. His name was..." suddenly, Eli realized that he did not know the king's name at all, and he did not know anything about the king's name in his memory. It was not recorded in the books at all.

"You don't know, do you?" Marquis Alina smiled as if he was happy that he had made things difficult for the scholar, Eli.

Eli nodded. From the Marquis 'words, he felt that what he was going to hear next might be a huge secret.

"Then do you know?" Eli asked.

"Um." The Marquis was stunned. He touched his beard and smiled awkwardly. "I don't know."

'Fine, then you've been speaking in riddles all day!'

The Marquis might have felt a little awkward, so he continued, " but I'm sure that this King came from somewhere else, and he's not simple. He built such a big country in just ten years, and as far as I know, every one of his subordinates is extremely loyal. This is ridiculous."

Perhaps he had said too much. The marquis picked up a glass of water from the side and took two sips. Eli sat quietly opposite him. He wanted to know what the Marquis was trying to say.

And he had a faint feeling that this might have something to do with him.

"After the kingdom was established, the king did not expand further. Instead, he stopped, but he did not develop it. He just kept sending people to various places as if he was searching for something. "

What was he searching for?

Eli's eyes moved as he recalled the title page in Saleen Metatrin's notes. The last sentence on it was as such.

'I wonder if I've found it?'

Furthermore, Saleen Metatrin's surname was close to Merlin, and combined with the king's story, it was hard for him not to make the connection.

"Of course, this isn't the main reason. The reason I'm so interested in that person is that I've seen that bottle of the potion of yours before. It was a gift from the king when I was young. At that time, the king was Merlin I, so I'm curious about that person."

Alina said calmly as if reminiscing about the past.

But what he didn't know was that a storm had already set off in Eli's heart. The basic antidote potion was a truly extraordinary potion, and it was impossible to concoct it without using magic. Didn't this mean Merlin I was a wizard?

Or could it be that Saleen Metatrin was actually Merlin I?

Establishing a country just to find one thing?

Eli felt like he had just discovered something big.

However, there was still a question in Eli's heart. If Saleen Metatrin was really Merlin I, then where did he come from? Or rather, was there a way to reach the territory of the mages? And how did his kingdom become a kingdom of knights?

These were all questions for Eli.

'But there's no rush. We can slowly collect these things.' Eli shook her head. So what if he knew? he still had to take it slowly.

These were all just his guesses.

"It's really amazing. I always feel that there should be other powers in the world besides Knights. It might be outside this area, outside the endless sea, outside the surrounding countries." Marquis Alina shook his head and sighed.

"I've seen some magical beasts before, and their strength was even greater than that of a Grand Knight. I was thinking that there might be more powerful ones and that black-robed man might be that kind of person.

"It's a pity that I won't be able to see them in my life!"

Marquis Alina let out a long sigh and fell into a state of melancholy. On the other hand, Eli was certain that the Marquis did not know about the existence of Wizards. It seemed that there were no mages in the kingdom at the moment.

"Forget it. Let's talk about the reward for saving me."

After a few minutes of dejection, Marquis Alina looked at Eli sternly.

Eli sat up straight as well.

Instead of worrying about the vague and even uncertain information, it was better to care about the reward that the Marquis was going to give him.

Chapter 40: Reward

Translator: Lonelytree

"Tell me, what do you want? As long as it's something I can do, I'll definitely satisfy you." Said Marquis Alina generously as he looked at Elin.

For a family that controlled many of the iron mines in the Empire, the financial power of the Alina family was no laughing matter. At the very least, he was one of the most powerful Marquises in the Empire.

Marquis Alina's thoughts were also very simple. Since Eli had saved his life, he would naturally do his best to satisfy Eli's needs. This was the rule of the nobles. historical

He would pay some money, but Eli had sacrificed a precious bottle of medicine.

He also wanted to see what kind of things this young man wanted.

Was it Noble's title, a large number of gold tarls, or a Manor?

"my Lord, I believe you've heard from count Gimori what I need. I only need the violet irises. " Eli answered calmly.

"Only violet irises?"

Marquis Alina raised an eyebrow in surprise.

He had already said that he could let Eli name his conditions, but Eli only asked for purple irises.

Naturally, he had heard about Eli's request from count Gimori, but he did not expect that even after he had offered such luxurious conditions, all Eli wanted was the violet irises.

For a moment, he was a little stunned.

"Are you sure you only want the purple irises? Money, a Manor, you can ask for these. I can even help you think of a way to get a noble title." As if uncertain, Marquis Alina asked again.

"Yes, I only want the purple irises!" Eli nodded.

It was fine even if he didn't have any money now. At most, he could go to the casino to get some money.

He didn't need a Manor or a villa. After all, in a few decades, or even a hundred years, he would have to change his identity and place of residence. It would be a pain to have one. He preferred to rent a place. If the place were too big, he would definitely need servants, which would be detrimental to his experiments.

With the title, there would be more social interactions and trouble, which he felt was a little boring.

"Alright, then." Marquis Alina helplessly nodded. This was the first time he had wanted to give something but could not.

However, this also made him think even more highly of this young man.

"I really like you." Marquis Alina looked at Eli in admiration. "but just the purple irises aren't enough. How about this? I'll let you go to my warehouse and pick three items. Anything will do."

As if thinking it was too little, Marquis Alina added.

This time, before Eli could say anything, Marquis Alina extended his hand and said, " you can't refuse this. It's a gift from a Marquis."

"Alright then. Thank you, my Lord." Eli nodded.

The warehouses in this world were not really just storerooms. Most nobles would store precious items in their warehouses, and a Marquis 'warehouse would naturally have more precious items. Perhaps, Eli could even find some good stuff inside.

"It's okay. You deserve this. This is for you!" Seeing that Eli had accepted it, count Alina smiled, then suddenly reached out to his chest, took off his noble badge, and handed it to Eli.

"This is the friendship of the Alina family. If you have any needs in the future, take this badge, and the Alina family will do their best to help you."

"Alright, thank you, Lord Marquis." Eli took the badge.

He couldn't refuse this. First, this thing might really be useful in the future. Second, it represented the friendship of the Marquis family. He couldn't say no, right? that would be too disrespectful to the Marquis.

"Hmm, then that's all for today's conversation. If you need any help, you can contact me through count Gimori, or you can take the badge directly to the Alina family's territory. Cough, cough, cough." It seemed that the Marquis was not in good health. He coughed twice after he finished speaking.

After coughing, he pulled on the rope beside him.

A Bell rang outside the door.

The other door of the room opened a few seconds later, and a few doctors came in to take care of the Marquis.

At the same time, a middle-aged man in a black suit walked in. The Marquis waved him over and seemed to say something. Then, the man walked over and said to Eli, " Mr. Eli, let me bring you to the warehouse."

Eli nodded and stood up.

He glanced at the doctors surrounding the Marquis, then turned around and followed.

...

Soon, the middle-aged man led Eli to the warehouse.

This was a warehouse built against a mountain. It was separated from the outside by a thick iron door. There were two knights standing guard outside at all times. Moreover, this place was very close to the castle. If anything happened, there would be a large number of Knights to help immediately.

"This is warehouse No. 1. It contains the marquis' best collection!" The middle-aged man brought Eli closer to the warehouse.

"Number one. Are there any other warehouses?" Standing behind the man, Eli asked.

"Of course. The Marquis has three warehouses here, and their value is lower in order. The Marquis usually rewards people with stuff from warehouse number three. Although I don't know what you did, the Marquis must like you very much." The middle-aged man, who was actually the Marquis' Butler, looked at Eli with a smile.

"I see!" Eli nodded, indicating that he understood.

The Marquis was very powerful!

"You can go in now." The middle-aged man then went to negotiate with the guards and gave them some badges. Then, the two knights slowly opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, a cloud of dust rose, and Eli looked inside.

The interior was very large, basically in the shape of a cuboid. There were shelves on both sides with all sorts of things placed on them. Although he only took a glance, Eli still found many good things.

"The warehouse is huge. You can take your time to choose." The Butler patted Eli's shoulder, indicating that he could go in.

Eli nodded and then walked in.

Entering the warehouse, Eli began to look around.

It had to be said that this place was worthy of being a Marquis' collection, and there was no lack of valuable items.

For example, Eli saw a piece of sapphire. Its purity and appearance were all top-notch. He estimated that this one piece of sapphire could be sold for a hundred gold tarls.

Of course, Eli guessed that this was probably one of the more valuable items in this storage unit.

"I wonder what's the situation in warehouse 3? " Eli's hand brushed past a valuable piece of armor, and he felt a little tempted.

"This is the tail feather of a Sunbird!"

"This is an ore that is impossible to find in the empire!"

"This is wood with spirituality! "

The warehouse was huge, and Eli was impressed. He looked at each item one by one, and although most of them were ordinary items, he did find quite a few that he could use.

As he walked, Eli suddenly stopped and stood in front of a shelf.

There was a black ball-like object on the shelf.

"Isn't this the shed skin of the hundred transformation beast?" Eli's eyes lit up.

Report chapter Comments

Chapter 41: The End

The shed skin of the hundred transformation beast!

Saleen's notes recorded this item. It was an item left behind by a creature called the hundred transformation beast after it had grown naturally. Although this magic beast was not very powerful, it was very difficult to capture because it had extremely strong concealment and transformation abilities. historical

It was the same for its shed skin, which had the same extraordinary characteristics.

This might just be what Eli needed.

Ever since he found out from Saleen Metatrin that the first king might be a wizard, Eli felt that he needed to improve his hidden abilities. After all, he did not want his identity as a wizard to be accidentally exposed one day.

This thing was destined to be his.

After deciding on the first item, he continued to move deeper into the warehouse, picking through the marquis' collection one by one.

Ignoring the non-magical items, Eli's eyes were like torches as he searched for the items he might need.

However, the final result was a little disappointing for Eli. Other than the shed skin, there was almost nothing else that was of interest to him. This was normal. After all, the empire was only a kingdom of knights, and the things of the wizards were relatively rare.

He could only pick two that were barely acceptable.

Finally, Eli walked out of the warehouse with the three items.

They were the shed skin of the hundred transformation beast, a material that could match the shed skin and the spiritual wood that he first saw.

He planned to use the first two to create a concealment Wizard, and he planned to craft a magic staff out of the wood.

As Eli came out, he explained to the Butler what he had taken away. The Butler only memorized it and didn't say anything. After all, it wasn't his.

" yes, count Gimori is already waiting for you on the other side. I'll take you to him. " The Butler said politely.

"Alright!" Eli nodded and followed the butler.

After a few hundred meters, Eli saw a carriage from afar. It was the carriage that count Gimori had brought him in. count Gimori was standing to the side, and beside him was another person that Eli had not seen for a long time.

"Eh, Eli? You're here?" Alex was chatting with count Gimori when he saw his butler walking over with Eli, and a surprised expression immediately appeared on his face.

"I came here with the count," Eli replied in surprise, not expecting to run into Alex.

"Yes, I did bring him here." Count Gimori laughed as he spoke.

Alex was immediately confused.

Coincidentally, he had come to his family's manor today. On the way, he ran into count Gimori, who had saved his father's life. Naturally, he could not pretend not to see him, so he took the initiative to talk to him and thank him.

But when he asked the count's purpose, the count just laughed it off and said that he was there to see the marquis. Alex did not manage to get any details.

Now that he had encountered Eli, he was a little lost.

In his impression, Eli was a student of scholar Clement, who was extremely good at dancing and seemed to be very good at taming horses. He had a good impression of Eli, but why would he appear in their family's territory?

He couldn't figure it out at all!

"Well, since Eli is here, we'll take our leave." count Gimori said to the bewildered Alex before taking the lead to board the carriage.

"Goodbye!" Eli also smiled at Alex, then got into the carriage.

Then, the coachman whipped the horse, and the carriage left along the road.

Alex stood where he was without moving as if he were contemplating the entire situation.

"Butler, do you know what count Gimori and Eli were here for? " Alex asked.

"Young master, I don't know either. If you want to know, I think you can ask the old master!" The Butler reminded him with his signature politeness.

'Should he ask his father?'

Alex felt that this shouldn't be a big deal, but if he didn't get to the bottom of this, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night, so he turned around and headed back to the castle.

Not long after, he arrived at the castle, the place where Eli and the Marquis had been chatting.

"Father." In the room, Alex saw his father.

"what are you doing here?" marquis Alina asked in confusion. He had just been treated and seemed to be feeling much better.

"Father, I have something to ask you. " Alex didn't try to hide anything and directly asked the question he had just been wondering.

Alex waited for his father's answer, but the marquis didn't seem to have any intention of answering him. Instead, he stood up from his chair and walked to the window.

"Son, you're the future head of the family. I shouldn't say this, but I think you should have the ability to think for yourself." marquis Alina looked at Alex with a meaningful expression.

Alex furrowed his brows, not quite understanding.

" let me tell you something. The person I just met was Eli, not Count Gimori. " marquis Alina sighed and said.

Alex was truly shocked this time, and he was about to ask, but Marquis Alina waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

"I've already said a lot. You can think about it yourself."

helpless, Alex could only leave.

Alex's brows furrowed as he pondered over his father's words while walking along the castle's long corridor.

Was it a special meeting with Eli? at this time?

As he walked, Alex's eyes suddenly lit up, and his mouth gradually fell open. He seemed to understand why his father wanted to see Eli, but this was a little too shocking.

"ridiculous!"

Alex took a few deep breaths before calming down.

To think that he had been thanking count Gimori for so long. no wonder he kept smiling when he heard it. It turned out that the person who had saved him was not Count Gimori, but Eli.

He finally understood.

"my silly son!" On the other side, Marquis Alina could see the departing carriage of Eli and the others through the window, and then he sighed deeply.

This son of his was actually already very outstanding in all aspects, but he was still lacking in one aspect. He was balanced but not outstanding, and he did not have the ability to think independently.

When he thought of Eli, who had just chatted with him, he suddenly felt a sense of disparity. He sighed. "looks like I'll have to send Alex to the mine for a while to train."

Poor Alex didn't know that his question had given him a lot of work.

…

On the other side.

After the carriage sent Eli home, it left with count Gimori.

Eli looked at his house in front of him with mixed feelings.

He had gained a lot from this trip.

It was not just those few items. More importantly, he had obtained information about Saleen Metatrin from Marquis Alina. This wizard might have been the first king of the Bryne Empire.

In the eyes of a Magus, the power of authority should have been of no value to Saleen Metatrin, who was at least a level three apprentice or even an official Magus and above. However, he had established this country.

All that just to find something?

Eli was also a little interested in the thing Saleem was talking about.

However, there was no other information for the time being, and he did not have any clues either. Eli decided to put this matter aside for the time being and wait until he advanced to a level 2 apprentice.

The problem of the purple iris flowers had been solved, and he could continue with his magic potions. He also needed to refine the item he had obtained from the marquis into a wizard tool.

"I'll be busy from now on, but fortunately, I'll be on my own."

Shaking his head, Eli walked into the house.

Chapter 42: The Mask and The Staff

A month later, in the laboratory, Eli stared at the experiment table in front of him without blinking.

On the experiment table, in a container as thick as a bucket, there was a black ball floating. The surface of the ball was full of potholes and looked like there were many small holes. It was the shed skin of the hundred-face beast.

"Next, I'll add in the upeless flower's liquid!"

Eli looked at the container calmly and took out another bottle of reagent from the side. The reagent was a strange blue-purple liquid, and he poured it directly into the container.

The liquid flowed into the container, but it did not spread into the water. Instead, it surrounded the sphere inside and began to slowly merge into the sphere.

Just like the first snow melting, the purple gradually wrapped around the black sphere. Then, the sphere began to crack and finally melt.

Half an hour later, there was only a layer of black material floating on the surface of the liquid in the container.

"This is liquid shed!"

Eli waved his right hand, and with a slight movement of his spiritual power, a translucent elemental hand appeared and then gently pulled out the layer of liquid. historical

The materials had been prepared, and the next step was to refine them.

The elemental hand dragged the materials, and Eli looked to the side. On the ground beside him, a miniature alchemy array had already been carved out. It was layered on top of one another, presenting a complicated yet beautiful feeling.

He placed the materials into the alchemy array and activated his mind power.

Eli's eyes were fixed on the alchemy array. With the interference of his mental strength, the prototype of a black mask gradually appeared. At the same time, he threw in the other materials one by one, fusing them with the mask.

Half an hour later, the array disappeared.

A black and white mask slowly appeared.

Its left side was black and its right side was white. It was oval in shape, and its surface was extremely smooth. There were only two holes where the eyes should be.

"I'm just missing the last rune." Looking at the mask, a satisfied smile appeared on Eli's face.

He took the mask and began to carve all kinds of runes on it.

And this took two hours.

When it was all over, Eli looked at the mask with runes carved on it and really heaved a sigh of relief.

The forging of the wizard tool was a success.

"Let's call it the faceless one's mask." feeling the smooth texture of the mask, Eli named his first wizard tool.

According to the wizard's classification, this should be a level zero intermediate wizard tool. level zero represented the wizard apprentice stage. After that, wizard tools were divided into three levels, low, intermediate, and high.

This was also a wizard tool that Eli had tailored for himself.

There were only two effects, concealment, and transformation.

By wearing the mask, one could change their appearance at will, as well as hide their soul fluctuations and the strength of their spiritual power.

The former was convenient for the changes in Eli as he grew older in the future and for him to do certain things, while the latter was convenient for Eli to better hide himself.

"This is much more convenient." Eli took the mask and put it on his face.

Suddenly, the black and white mask seemed to melt. On the other hand, Eli casually imagined Herman's face in his mind, and a few seconds later, his face had completely turned into Herman's face.

If Herman saw Eli now, he would probably just shout 'god' and faint.

"Maybe I need to find a place to try!" there was a smile in Eli's eyes. he wanted to go out and test whether this transformation ability was useful or not.

On the same day.

At night, all the casinos were visited by " harry potter " again.

All the gamblers claimed that the man was back, and the casino was bleeding in their hearts.

Due to harry potter's incident, all the casinos had already upgraded their management and detection to guard against him.

But this time, Harry Potter was even more bizarre, like a devil.

There was no trace of him at all.

For a moment, some casinos even suspected that " Harry Potter " was not a human.

An urban legend of jun lin city was slowly being born.

…

While the casinos were ready for his arrival, Eli had actually gone home.

After a night's worth of testing, this transformation ability was really useful. Not only his face but his body's appearance could also be changed as long as he wanted to.

Coupled with his wizard abilities, he had earned quite a bit of money.

However, to Eli, money was no longer as important as it was in the past. As time passed, money might become less and less useful.

Also, with the completion of the wizard tool, he could change his appearance at any time, so he did not have to worry about monetary issues.

"next up is the staff. At the same time, I can continue with the experiment on the spiritual force potion."

Just yesterday, the latest batch of purple irises in Locke's Manor had ripened. The Marquis had sent someone to deliver them to him directly and told him to tell him when he needed to.

…

Another month passed, and in the same laboratory, Eli withdrew his mental strength and looked at the staff in front of him with satisfaction.

This was a staff whose main body was made of spiritual wood. Its outer appearance was that of staff, and it was completely black, giving off a gentlemanly feeling. However, Eli had carved some stable magic circles on it, making the staff as strong as steel, and could be used as a close-combat weapon at a critical moment.

Of course, his close combat ability was only support. The staff's main role was to help Eli cast spells faster and increase the strength of some spells.

This was a zero-circle low-rank magic wand. It could increase the power of a zero-circle spell by 20%, which was not a small increase.

"Another mission completed. The next most important thing is the experiment of the magic potion". eli let out a sigh.

Of course, in fact, he had been carrying out experiments on the magic potions for the past month. However, he was very unlucky. Because of the problem with the proportion, he encountered various problems.

For example, the concoctions he made would damage one's mental energy, cause physical deformity, hallucinations, and so on!

In short, he kept failing. With the success of the staff, eli finally had the time to devote himself to the potion.

However, he couldn't do that today. He had to go to work.

After briefly tidying up the laboratory, eli walked out.

He changed his clothes, took his cane, and simply tidied his clothes in front of the mirror. He admired his unchanged but handsome face for a while and then walked out of the house.

As soon as he walked out of the house, eli could feel a cold breeze.

A snowflake fell.

Eli looked up. The sky was covered in dark clouds without him knowing, and snowflakes were falling.

Winter was here!

No. Eli shook his head. 'Many people would freeze to death this winter.'

And if Eli remembered correctly, after winter, the learner certification exam that was held once every four years would also begin. Scholar Clement had said four years ago that he wished for Eli to become a learner.

However, that was a small problem. He would just have to study a little when the time came.

Becoming a learner had never been a problem for Eli.

Chapter 43: War

The empire's winter was very cold.

This year seemed to be even colder than before due to the cold front.

However, to Eli, it was no different. He just had to stay in the Imperial Library and stay at home.

The experiment continued, but it kept failing.

Of course, throughout this process, Eli did not give up on his cogitation because it was the foundation of his wizardry life. He did not neglect his witchcraft at all, and continued to learn new spells.

When he had nothing to do after work, he would occasionally go to the casino to play, but it would not be like before. He would just purely play and try not to cheat.

If he lost, he would go home. If he won, he would go to the nearby Liu Ying Street.

However, due to the powers of wizards, he won more than he lost.

…

In the blink of an eye, more than two months had passed.

Eli received a piece of news.

"The learner test has been postponed? "

In scholar Clement's office, Eli was a little surprised.

"Yes, it might be because it's winter, and it's not easy for scholars from other places to come here, so they're planning to postpone it to summer. You don't have to be too nervous, just relax. " Scholar Clement comforted.

Eli nodded.

Becoming a learner was only one part of his plan, but it didn't matter if it was delayed. It wasn't a big deal any way. In the past, he was only concerned about the salary increase, but now, he didn't care about the salary from the library anymore.

He only wanted stability.

"Well, delaying it for half a year will also give you more confidence. You should prepare well. " Scholar Clement looked at Eli in admiration.

He was already old, and it would be difficult for him to rise further.

However, his students still had a bright future ahead of them. After the incident with the count, he admired eli even more. Furthermore, Eli was never late or left early, which made him admire him even more.

Self-discipline was also good quality.

" yes, teacher. I will prepare well. " Eli nodded, then left the room.

On the way downstairs, he looked at the frost outside the window.

He had an inexplicable feeling that the learner test might not even be held next summer and might even be postponed.

But this time, the reality didn't go as Eli had expected.

The scholar test was not postponed.

It might be canceled.

This was because the war had arrived.

…

Empire calendar year 310, as the winter was about to end, an earth-shattering event happened in the empire.

The duke of Frostwolf in the north had rebelled and joined forces with the northern grasslands, preparing to betray the empire and establish a new country.

Everything seemed to be just like the rumors in the winter of a few years ago, and it was coming true.

For a time, the empire was in turmoil.

Although there was no news from the king, everyone knew that the storm had begun.

As expected, two days later.

King Bryne the sixth issued an order to gather all the suzerains under his command. He was ready to start a war with the duke of Frostwolf, and he was going to fight in person.

This surprised everyone.

…

Another half a month passed.

This was the first time Eli met the Supreme ruler of this Empire, Bryne the sixth.

He had seen him on the vermilion bird avenue, which led to the outside of the city.

This was a king who could already be considered an old man. He wore silver-white armor and stood straight in front of the war chariot. His beard was a little white, but the aura that he exuded was the most powerful one that Eli had ever seen.

He was sure that it was the peak of a grand knight.

On both sides of the king were knights on horses. Each of them was at least an elite knight. Behind them was a long line of infantrymen. They were dressed in black.

"Could this be the descendant of Saleen Metatrin? " Eli looked at the old man. it was a pity that he did not have a portrait of Saleen Metatrin, or he might have been able to confirm it.

" the war is about to begin. Should I eat mashed potatoes or goose-breast tonight? " Standing in the crowd, Eli watched for a while before leaving.

As long as the war didn't involve Jun Lin city, it had nothing to do with him.

The only unfortunate thing was that this year's learner test might really be canceled.

…

Time flew by, and a month passed.

The king's marching speed was much faster than Eli had imagined. In just half a month, they had already arrived at the territory of the Duke of Frostwolf, followed by a large number of other suzerains.

Their opponent was the Duke of Frostwolf and the grassland Alliance.

The war had begun.

A month later, the war was over.

The war ended much faster than eli had expected. He had thought that since the Frostwolf duke dared to assassinate the king and even rebel, he must have been prepared, but he did not expect the duke of Frostwolf to lose so badly in the battle.

However, the Duke of Frostwolf could not be blamed.

It was said that the king was extremely brave, leading a troop directly into Frostwolf fort and pulling the duke of Frostwolf out of bed.

No one expected this. After all, the king was already 70 years old.

The war started hastily and ended even more hastily.

On the day of the king's triumphant return, Eli had even come to take a look.

He mixed in with the crowd and saw the king again.

He was riding on a pitch-black warhorse with the bloodline of a magical beast. His appearance did not change much from before, but eli could see that the king's mental strength was no longer as strong as before.

Or rather, it was wilting.

He probably only had a few more years to live.

…

In a short period of three to four months.

So many things had happened, and it had a great impact on many people. With the death of a Duke, a large area became empty again, and a large number of nobles began to devour it like wolves.

However, the king did not bequeathe these titles to them. Instead, he bequeathed them to his second son, or rather, the second Prince, who was also conferred the title of Archduke.

As for the first Prince, this was a Prince that Eli had only heard of but had never met before. Eli guessed that he was already preparing to inherit the throne.

Originally, the king should have no problem living for 30 or 40 years in his previous state, but now he was estimated to live for seven or eight years at most. This was an unexpected " surprise " for the first Prince, who was almost 40 years old.

Of course, to eli, these things might affect him through the higher-ups, but the impact would be very limited. After all, the library was not only independent of the empire, but he was only a librarian.

He would only be affected if the whole country fell.

As for the learner test, it was canceled, and the next one would be held four years later.

For this matter, scholar Clement even had a heart-to-heart talk with Eli as if to tell him not to be too anxious and to continue working hard.

It really didn't matter to Eli. Wasn't it just four years?

He had a lot of time.

Furthermore, he had been in a good mood recently. As time passed, Eli's potion experiments were becoming more and more perfect. He could feel that the day when he could concoct a low-grade potion was getting closer and closer.

"Everything is getting better and better."historical

Chapter 44: The Potion

The war had ended, but the effects of the war continued to ferment.

The first to be affected were the nobles of the Empire. Because of this incident, King Bryne the sixth began to set up a special organization to investigate a large number of nobles. Among these nobles, there were indeed a few problems, and some of them were spies from the surrounding countries.

As for the outcome of these nobles, it was needless to say that they all died quite miserably.

Of course, that was not all. He also began to clean up various aspects of the Empire. The economy, politics, and military were of the utmost importance. He made bold and decisive reforms and tough measures. For a time, people were in a state of panic.

Those who were affected privately claimed that the king must have gone crazy, but only Eli knew that this was probably the king's final preparation for the Prince to inherit the throne.

Change required time, and it would probably take a few years for the nation to change.

Throughout this process, eli was barely affected. Instead, the people around him were greatly affected.

Due to the economic reform, Roland's Chamber of Commerce actually rose up. The strength of the Chamber of Commerce began to expand, and the scope of business also began to expand, showing a sense of prosperity.

And because the king had taken back part of the iron mine, the power of Alina's family had shrunk. Of course, there had to be some sort of exchange of benefits, but Eli didn't know and wasn't too sure about that.

Herman's father seemed to be involved in this as well. He was imprisoned, and his eldest son inherited the title of nobility. His other sons divided up the family business and left Herman a house in the suburbs of Jun Lin.

The sudden accident made Herman lose all hope of inheriting the title, but it made Scholar Clement very happy because he thought Herman could focus on his studies.

But reality told scholar Clement that it was hard to change a person's personality.

…

"Herman, you've made another mistake!!

"It's a good thing the learner test was canceled. If you passed by accident, it would simply lower the overall standard of the learners. Can't you be more serious? "

The study room was filled with the angry voice of scholar Clement. Eli was helping to analyze the materials while Herman was standing on the side, berated by Clement.

But this time, Herman just stood there quietly with his head lowered.

"I'm sorry!"

A low, sobbing voice was heard. Clement was originally cursing happily, but he was stunned.

"…Did something happen?" Scholar Clement knew Herman's personality. Something must have happened.

"I received news this morning that my father died in prison," Herman said in pain, and his tears fell to the ground.

Scholar Clement also fell silent.

Eli looked over as well. No wonder Herman was in a daze today.

"Well, it's fine. actually, the food you made today was not bad." scholar clement was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Eli, take him out to play. He needs a break!" he said to eli beside him.

"Okay!" Eli stood up and led Herman out.

"Eli, don't you think I'm stupid? why can't I do anything right!" Herman walked down the corridor and looked at eli with tears on his face.

"of course not. Scholar Clement scolded you because he thought you still had hope of improving. If he really ignored you, that would mean that you're really useless." Eli consoled.

Even though Herman was his senior, he was about the same age as Eli. They were both 20 years old this year.

"Maybe," Herman shook his head. "my father is also dead, so I'll be moving into that house in the future. I'll have to work hard in the future." Suddenly, Herman raised his head, wiped his tears, and smiled.

"This is good! It's a rare day of leisure. How about this? I'll bring you around to have some fun."

"Sure, where are we going?" Herman grinned and replied.

"We'll go to moon alley and Liuying alley to play."

"I've never been there. Have you been there?" historical

"How could I have been there? I'm doing everything for you. If not for you, I wouldn't have gone to that kind of place." Said Eli, shaking his head.

"Thank you." Herman smiled.

Time always passed quickly during the entertainment.

The process was very pleasant, and it made him feel as if he was rising into the clouds. It was the happiest day of his life.

However, when he returned home, he had some doubts.

'Why did all the ladies in Liuying alley seem to know eli?

'Besides, wasn't Eli way too familiar with the place? It was as if he had returned home.'

…

Herman recovered very well. The next day, he worked even harder and made fewer mistakes.

This made scholar clement overjoyed. The only thing that made him feel bad was that no one was there for him to scold recently, which made him feel a little sullen.

Of course, Herman had to take on this mission regardless, so scholar Clement raised his standards. The days resumed, and Herman was still the one being scolded.

Thus, the teachers and students returned to their peaceful lives.

Eli was also getting closer and closer to successfully brewing the potion.

He should be able to succeed within a year.

However, three months later.

He seemed to have encountered a small accident in the middle of the experiment.

…

Three months later!

"experiment 1111th, the materials are purple irises and ghost head mushrooms. The specific ratio is 6:1…"

In front of the experiment table, Eli seriously took down the experimental data, then picked up the potion that had already been concocted.

He walked towards the corner of the laboratory. A huge transparent box was placed there. At this moment, many white mice were jumping around in it. They looked very active.

A live experiment!

He casually took out a white mouse.

Eli moved him to another box, then had it consume a few milliliters of the prepared solution.

The mice drank the liquid and walked over a dozen meters. There was no change at all. On the other hand, Eli waited patiently. He knew that it would take some time for the potion to take effect.

Another minute passed.

The mice finally changed.

His fur began to dry up quickly, but his body didn't seem to be getting thinner. His nails fell off bit by bit, and his teeth loosened. He seemed to be dying.

But to Eli's surprise, the black eyes of the mice were getting brighter and brighter, like a ray of light. This was a sign of an increase in mental power.

"I failed!" Eli shook his head.

Without a doubt, he had failed again.

He took out the mouse and threw it aside. There were already a few dead ones there, and he would clean them up after the experiment.

"This won't do. The potion sacrifices one's vitality to increase one's spiritual power." eli shook his head and prepared for the next experiment.

"Wait a minute…"

Suddenly, in the laboratory, Eli's movements froze.

The experiment failed, but it didn't seem to be a complete failure.

Chapter 45: Advancing to a level 2 apprentice

It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck Eli's brain, causing him to wake up quite a bit.

"It can't be?!" Eli turned his head to look not far away. The seemingly withered mouse was still lying in the pile of mice.

As Eli made the potion, the potion seemed to have changed a little.

Eli was an eternal being, so of course, he had done some experiments on himself this year. The clearest perception he had was that he could live forever. The most direct expression was that his life force would not be exhausted.

If the magic potion in front of him could really increase spiritual power by consuming vitality …

He could then announce that the experiment was a success.

Eli took a deep breath, then immediately remade the potion. Today might be a sleepless night.

…

Three days later!

In the laboratory.

"It's really a success!" eli held a bottle of newly concocted solution in his hand, an excited expression on his face.

After some experiments, he finally verified the effect of the potion. It really consumed life force to increase spiritual power. He also found that the most important thing was the purple irises. The more he added, the more spiritual power he could increase.

Eli had even verified a specific amount that could improve the potion to a level comparable to the original.

"I'm a genius!" a smile appeared on Eli's face.

This was an accident, but he had somehow created a potion that was so suitable for him.

However, Saleen Metatrin could not be blamed for this. Saleen Metatrin's notes only recorded very proper magic medicines. How could he have recorded magic medicines that consumed the life force of an apprentice to increase mental power? That would simply be harmful.

"I'm finally on the right path." Eli pursed his lips, feeling as if a strange path had opened up.

The next step was to do more experiments.

…

Three months later!

At home.

"It's almost time!" after three months of verification, eli could already confirm that the potion had no other flaws other than consuming life force.

Today was the day he was going to take it.

His spiritual power was currently at 6.3.

After recording his stats, eli took out the medicine and consumed it directly.

The moment he consumed it, Eli felt as if something was flowing away, and his spiritual power began to grow slowly. All of this happened very quickly, yet very slowly.

If someone were to look at Eli right now, they would notice that he was in a very strange state. For example, his hair was turning white bit by bit, and wrinkles were gradually increasing on his face. But every time it happened, his hair would turn black again, and the wrinkles would disappear.

It was only half an hour later that the change gradually disappeared.

Eli examined himself again.

His spiritual energy had become 6.5.

It was an increase of 0.2 in one go, which wasn't a lot, but for safety reasons, Eli only used the normal version and didn't use the enhanced version.

At this rate, he would be able to advance to a level 2 apprentice in a year and a half.

However, taking into account the problem of drug resistance and the production period, it will take a little longer. It should be done in about two years. " … " eli fell into deep thought.

'Please don't let anything happen for the next two years.'

…

The passage of time was always fast and slow for eli.

Time was slow, but whenever he looked back, it felt like time had passed quickly.

When he felt the same feeling again, he realized that two years had passed.

And he was finally about to become a level 2 apprentice.

On this day, Eli specially applied for leave.

In the basement.

Eli felt his own state. His mental strength was 9.99, and on his right hand was a bottle of khorium No. 1 potion that he had just made. That was the name he had given the potion.

After all, although this originated from the dark blue potion, it had nothing to do with the dark blue potion in the end. Because of its life-force consumption effect, he named it khorium No. 1.

Eli immediately opened the bottle and drank it in one gulp.

The familiar feeling once again made Eli feel refreshed, but the increase in his spiritual power also made him happy.

Very quickly, his spiritual energy broke through 10 points mark and finally stopped at 10.1.

There were no accidents or bottlenecks. Of course, if he faced a problem now, then his talent would be worse than trash.

"I feel good." After absorbing the potion, Eli felt the changes in himself.

As he advanced to a level 2 apprentice, he could feel more elements, and his ability to communicate with the elements in his body was also greatly enhanced.

Of course, this was only the main change. Eli's physique also became stronger. Of course, this would take some time, but even so, Eli could already clearly feel that he was stronger.

As for how much stronger he was, he would only know after testing.

Immediately after a simple packing, Eli headed straight for the secret valley outside the arena.

In the valley, Eli focused his spirit and began to draw spirit runes, and in an instant, a huge fireball appeared before him.

The fireball was twice as big as when he was a level 1 apprentice. He could also feel that the temperature was much higher, and the power contained in it was much stronger.

The fireball instantly smashed into the stone wall not far away.

Boom!

A huge explosion was heard. The fireball on the stone wall exploded instantly. The flames spread out, and the power of the explosion directly smashed a big hole in the stone wall. Gravel flew in all directions like rain.

A wall of wind appeared and blocked these attacks.

Within the wind wall, a smile appeared on Eli's face.

This was at least two times more powerful than when he was a level 1 apprentice. With other abilities, his combat power would soar immediately. There was also the staff, which could also increase part of his strength.

"My current strength should be much higher than a normal knight." Although he had never fought a knight before, Eli had his own judgment.

After testing the fireball spell, Eli tested other spells. After getting the specific data, he left.

On the way out, eli saw that there seemed to be a lot more people in the nearby forest than usual.

"What happened?"

"What's going on? " Eli asked a man who was walking.

"We just heard some noise from this side, so we came to take a look. "

The man was a little surprised to be suddenly called, but he still answered.

"Oh." Eli nodded and left.

He should have set up a soundproof magic circle for the valley. The sound of the fireball explosion was indeed a little too loud. Of course, he did not have to worry about anything. Although there was no soundproofing, the place was well hidden. There were other ways to hide. Even an elite knight would not be able to find out anything.

There were many people along the way. Eli even saw a team of Knights from Jun Lin City, but they only cast a glance at him and ignored him.

After all, Eli was just an ordinary person.historical

Chapter 46: Herman's Love

Moving against the flow of people, Eli soon arrived at the city gate.

At this time, the city gate guards seemed to have become alert because of the explosion. The soldiers who were originally guarding the city had put down the barrier, and they needed to be checked before entering.

Eli didn't plan on doing anything, so he followed the flow of people and lined up.

"Mr. eli!" when Eli arrived, a soldier greeted him in a familiar manner.

Eli nodded. as he often went out, some soldiers even recognized him, and he might even help out a little.

After a simple search, Eli went through the city gate.

After Eli left, another soldier beside the previous soldier asked curiously, "Do you know that gentleman?"

"I do. Mr. Eli is a scholar who goes out often and is always very polite, even to the homeless. He's a man worthy of respect. He's the one who gave me my son's name." the soldier replied with a smile.

"My wife is about to give birth. If I can meet this gentleman again, I'd like to ask." another soldier exclaimed in admiration.

They were just the lowest-ranking soldiers in Jun Lin city. People of status would not even bother to talk to them, let alone ask a scholar to come up with a name for them.

"Of course. It's rare to see a gentleman like Mr. eli who doesn't discriminate between rich and poor. " the soldier smiled and said proudly.

"Hurry up. Can you guys hurry up? You bunch of dog shit!"

suddenly, beside the city wall, a man who seemed to be a noble cut the line and said unhappily.

The soldier immediately put away his previous expression and said humbly, "my lord, I'm truly sorry!"

The soldier explained humbly, and the noble looked on arrogantly.

…

Naturally, Eli didn't hear this.

Even if he saw it, he wouldn't care because this was the current state of the empire, and it couldn't be changed.

When Eli returned to the city, he didn't go home. Instead, he went straight back to the library and began his work for the day.

Everything seemed to have returned to normal.

Advancing to a level 2 apprentice did not seem to have any substantial changes to Eli.

Of course, Eli knew that this was an illusion because as he advanced, he could do more things, and he had more freedom. His ability to survive in the face of danger had also greatly increased. historical

However, to him, he would still maintain the pace of his life from before.

He hoped that this kind of life could last for a long, long time.

…

A peaceful life was always fast.

In the blink of an eye, another year and a half had passed.

Year 313 of the Bryne calendar.

This year, Eli was 24 years old. He had been in this world for almost seven years.

In the past year, Eli had been familiarizing himself with the changes brought about by his advancement, and he had also learned many new spells, starting to learn other types of spells that he could not learn before.

For example, soul imprints, bewitching speech, and other spells that he might need in the future.

In addition, the Empire had not become stronger following the reformation. Instead, it had become much weaker. This was because the king had removed a large number of redundant parts and simplified the Empire to a certain extent.

This was beneficial to the empire's long-term development, but in the short term, the empire's strength had indeed weakened a lot, and many nobles had a lot of opinions about the king.

Of course, as mentioned before, none of this had much of an impact on Eli.

His life had always been peaceful and uneventful, but Herman's life seemed to be a little turbulent recently.

Ever since her father passed away two years ago, Herman had been working even harder to learn all kinds of knowledge. However, after a long time, he would inevitably feel bored and even lonely.

Herman was also 24 years old. In this world, most people of this age were already married and even had children. Herman seemed to have realized this.

He seemed to have met a girl a few days ago and quickly fell in love.

…

"Eli, I've known Windsor for almost a month now. What gift should I give her? "

In the library, eli was working with Herman, and he asked hesitantly.

"you can do as you like!" Eli replied as he put a book back on the shelf.

" Well, she told me that she liked perfume a lot, and her favorite was the tulip perfume from the tulip chamber of commerce, but that bottle cost three gold tars. It's really expensive. But if she likes it, I'll buy it for her. " Herman thought of something sweet and said firmly.

"Yes, " Eli responded.

Actually, it wasn't that he didn't want to talk to Herman. It was just that this kid had been telling Eli about his sweet love every day since half a month ago.

At first, he was interested in hearing how beautiful, gentle, and nice the girl called Windsor was, but half a month later, he only felt a headache.

"Eli, can you lend me some money?" Suddenly, Herman turned around and said.

Eli turned his head and looked over.

Compared to three years ago, the current Herman was obviously more mature. He even had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He didn't look as playful as he did three years ago. Instead, he looked more mature.

Of course, it was the same for eli. At this moment, his appearance also looked a lot more mature, but that was his transformation through the faceless mask. in fact, his true face was still how he looked when he was 18 years old.

"Borrow money? what's wrong?" Eli asked, frowning.

If he remembered correctly, even though Herman's father had died and divided the family property, he still had a part of the inheritance. Although it wasn't much, there were at least twenty to thirty gold tars.

During the past three years, Herman had not spent much money. He had been studying and working in the library. Even when he went to relax occasionally, Eli would always treat him, so he should not have spent much. Why did he need to borrow money?

"Yeah, Eli, I know you have money. Can you lend me some? I promise I'll return it to you. " Herman extended his right hand and promised.

"where's the money your father left you? All gone?" eli asked.

"Yup!" Herman nodded.

"What happened? where did your money go?" Eli's eyes turned serious. With Herman's spending power and the fact that he didn't buy any real estate, how could he have spent so much in three years?

"Erm…" Herman seemed to be caught off guard by Eli's sudden question. He stammered and didn't want to answer.

"If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have lent it to you today. Or you could have gone to the teacher to borrow money, as long as you're not afraid of the teacher breaking your legs." Eli said.

"Don't! Alright, I'll tell you, but don't tell anyone else!" Herman thought about the perfume that was worth three gold tars and hesitated before telling his story.

Eli was listening to the side.

However, his expression became weirder and weirder as Herman continued.

When Herman finished, Eli looked at him, his mouth twitching.

What a sweet love story.

Chapter 47: She Loves Me

Herman's love story started a month ago.

He ended a busy day of work and seemed to feel a little bored, so he went to the bar alone to drink some wine. It was there that he met the " lady of his destiny, " Windsor.

In Herman's description, Windsor was a beautiful girl with long, maroon hair, a slim and graceful body, and liked to wear sexy clothes. Her eyes were always filled with love for Herman.

Of course, the last message was based on Herman's own feelings.

The two of them met in a tavern and hit it off. That night, Herman had a sweet night, and they promised each other that they would have a good time in the future.

Over the next month, Herman and the girl would meet every few days, and Herman would always be generous with Windsor and spend all kinds of money.

During this process, Herman also gradually learned the girl's identity.

According to Windsor, she was from a neighboring country. Because of the war between the feudal lords, she fled her hometown. Due to an accident, she and her brother were separated from their family, and the two of them had wandered all the way here.

Then, she met Herman, the man she could trust with everything she had.

His money had been spent during this period.

"Eli, maybe this is what love is." After saying that, Herman looked at Eli with a sweet expression.

"Are you sure she really loves you?" eli asked with a strange expression.

Why did he smell a strong sense of suspicion in this story?

He met his true love at the bar, a beautiful woman, fell in love at first sight, promised a lifetime of love, and had a sappy background.

If it wasn't for the fact that he was embarrassed, even Eli felt like he would be clapping. What a beautiful love story!

He had spent twenty to thirty gold tars a month.

According to the purchasing power of this world, Herman spent about a million dollars a month on less than ten dates.

"I think you might have met a scammer!" Eli said directly. He felt that it was better to remind Herman as soon as possible.

"A scammer? How is that possible?" hearing what eli said, Herman immediately jumped up and said in a loud voice, " it's true love between us. How could a beautiful girl like Windsor lie to me?

"you haven't experienced it, but I'm sure that this is true love, a beautiful love. Eli, although you're my best friend, I won't allow you to slander Windsor like this. She's a good girl." Herman huffed and said quickly.

"No, no, no, calm down first." Eli didn't expect Herman to have such a huge reaction.

However, thinking about it, it made sense. This kid was only 24 years old and had never been in a relationship.

"Hmph!" Herman was panting heavily. Then he said, " "If she didn't really love me, why would she spend time with me?

"If she didn't really love me, why would she say 'dear' to me?

"If she didn't really love me, why would she go to the concert with me?"

Eli blinked his eyes. 'Does someone have to be in true love with you just because they have done these things?

'Herman, you're too naive.'

"Alright, I'll lend you some money, but I have a request." Knowing that he couldn't persuade him, Eli said.

"Okay, go ahead," Herman replied.

"I can lend you some money, but since you've decided to live together with her in the future, I think teacher and I should at least meet her," Eli said helplessly.

As Herman's junior, Eli felt that he had to show some concern for his senior.

If it was really a scam, then he could be prepared in advance. Although Herman's money was gone, his father had left him a house worth almost a hundred gold tars.

"uh, but Windsor said that she doesn't want to see anyone until our relationship reaches a certain level." Herman was conflicted.

"if she's really that determined to be with you, shouldn't she meet your friends and mentor? What's there to be conflicted about? I think teacher will be very happy too." Eli asked.

As if convinced by Eli, Herman nodded and said, "alright, I'll go and ask."

"yes." eli nodded, then took out a money bag from his pocket and gave three gold tars to Herman.

"Thanks, eli." after receiving the money, Herman finally smiled and said, " don't worry, Eli. I'll definitely talk to Windsor about this.

"Also, don't be so flustered all the time. I'm very smart, How could I be deceived? Besides, Windsor is so gentle and sweet."

"Go, go, go. Work hard."

Seeing that Herman still had the urge to continue, Eli left immediately.

…

After work in the afternoon, Eli didn't leave right away. Instead, he went to the second floor, ready to talk to the teacher about Herman's problem.

Eli knocked. historical

"Come in!" A voice came from inside the door.

Eli walked in. at this time, Scholar Clement was still working.

"Oh, Eli, what's the matter? I don't usually see you after work, so why did you come to me today?" compared to the changes in Eli and Herman, scholar clement didn't change much. The only obvious change was that there were more wrinkles on his face, and his hair had turned white.

" uh, teacher, it's like this, Herman…" Eli said directly.

After hearing this, scholar clement also put down his pen, and his expression became serious.

As expected, the teacher also felt that something was wrong!

Seeing scholar clement's reaction, Eli nodded. This meant that he was an old man and had some experience.

"You're right. There's something wrong with this matter." scholar clement stood up.

" Teacher, do you also think that Herman was tricked? " eli said directly, but before he could finish, he heard clement say, "something's not right. If Windsor is really that beautiful, why would she like Herman?

"Something's very wrong."

Eli, 'teacher, is this what you think?'

"teacher, I'm saying, is it possible that Windsor is a scammer? " Eli said, speechless.

"Scammer?" Clement frowned as if he had never thought about this.

" Well, I've arranged to meet them. We'll talk about it when the time comes. After all, Herman's a little silly, so it's better to confirm it. " Eli added.

"That makes sense. That's what I was actually thinking just now." Clement nodded in agreement. "Well, that's it then. We'll just have to meet them when the time comes."

"Alright, I'll take my leave then, teacher." eli left immediately.

He had worked overtime for more than ten minutes for Herman.

He was such a good junior.

…

At the same time, at the wooden barrel bar.

In a single room.

"Windsor, I think we're pretty stable in our relationship. I'd like to arrange for you to meet my teacher and junior so that we can have a chat." Herman was sitting by the bed, holding a woman's hand.

The woman had maroon hair and was wearing thin clothes. She looked very sexy. She was snuggling in Herman's arms like a delicate little bird.

However, when she heard Herman's words, she was obviously stunned. She thought for a moment and said in a flirtatious way, "Sure, as long as you like it, I'm fine with anything."

"Hehe, Windsor, you're the best." Herman could feel the softness of Windsor's body, and he couldn't help but snicker. He held Windsor in his arms and seemed ready to do something.

"Don't be like this. I'm not feeling well today." Windsor sensed Herman's intentions, so she quietly let go of Herman's hand and said.

"Well, alright then." Herman was also stunned, but he nodded.

"I want to have a good rest today. You should go first. It'll be too late if you don't." Windsor continued to act coquettishly.

"Alright. Oh, right, this is the perfume you wanted!" Herman stood up and took out the perfume he had bought in advance.

"Wow, I love you the most." Upon seeing the perfume, Windsor's eyes lit up, and she gave Herman a big hug.

"Hehe, it's what I should do. I'll take my leave first. " Herman chuckled.

After the hug, Herman left.

As soon as Herman left, Windsor's smile disappeared.

She walked to the wall and knocked on the wooden wall.

A few seconds later, the door opened, and a man walked in.

He was very tall and strong. Even though he was only wearing a long robe with long sleeves, one could feel the explosive muscles under his clothes.

Upon seeing the man enter, Windsor immediately walked over and hugged the man's arm. "David, this silly boy is in so deep. We can leave once we sell the proof of his house. But there's one more thing, his teacher wants to see me. "

"Yes, that's normal. When the time comes, if you act well, there shouldn't be any problems. Don't worry, even if something happens, with my strength as a high-level Knight. I can solve everything." the man named David said, a fierce light flashing in his eyes.

"Yes." Windsor caressed David's chest and said charmingly, " Oh, right, you're my big brother now. I shouldn't be calling you by your name. "then, brother, do you want to take good care of your sister?"

Windsor raised her head and looked at David.

There was no response.

However, an arm had already picked up Windsor and walked towards the bed.

…

At the same time, outside the tavern.

Herman looked at the tavern behind him and left in satisfaction.

She was worried that he would be home too late.

As expected, Windsor loved her.

Chapter 48: Warning

Three days later, Eli and scholar clement met this miss Windsor in a restaurant in the empire.

"Hello, I'm eli, Herman's junior. This is my teacher, scholar clement. "

In a luxurious private room, Eli extended his hand to the lady.

"Hello, I'm Windsor!" Windsor and eli shook hands gently. she was wearing a light pink dress today, matched with her long, date-red hair. Her pretty face made her look even more delicate and beautiful.

"I'm Herman's teacher, scholar clement!" he said. Scholar Clement also nodded at Windsor. He also felt that something was wrong.

Would such a beautiful girl really like Herman?

"Everyone, please sit down!" Herman was chuckling at the side. He was obviously very happy.

Everyone took their seats.

The waiter began to serve the dishes, and scholar clement inquired about Windsor's situation.

Windsor also answered very seriously. It was clear that she had come prepared. It would be a little difficult to tell if it was real or fake based on this.

Hence, Eli chose a more direct method.

While a few of them were chatting, spots of light that looked like stars appeared in the bottom of Eli's eyes. in the darkness, Eli's vision gradually changed.

The air was filled with all kinds of pheromones, just like the stars. This was the zero-circle spell, information eye, which could observe things that could not be seen with the naked eye.

He looked at the three of them.

Herman's body was very clean. Other than some pink substances, there was all kinds of dust, the smell of horses, and the air mixed together. It was a very normal situation.

As for the pink, it was probably from Windsor.

Scholar Clement was in a similar situation as Herman.

But when eli turned to look at Windsor, he was instantly stunned.

At this moment, apart from Windsor's own pheromones, Herman's, a small number of Eli's, and scholar Clement's, there were also other types of pheromones belonging to other males on her body. He estimated that there were dozens of them.

There were still seven or eight pheromones left in her body, which meant something.

This was because the pheromones that Eli mentioned were not regular pheromones. They could usually be retained in a human body for three to six months. historical

This meant that within half a year, Windsor had had sex with at least seven or eight people.

And Eli observed that Windsor had been with the same person every day for the past few days.

But if he remembered correctly, Herman had been staying in the library for the past three days.

What he had guessed was right. There was no love at all.

Scholar Clement and Windsor seemed to be having a good conversation. This woman called Windsor still had some tricks up her sleeve. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to charm Herman so much.

However, the main thing was that scholar Clement was asking ordinary questions. Thus, Eli decided to take the initiative.

"Cough cough!"

Suddenly, eli coughed twice, and a few of them looked at him.

"It's like this. As for me, I've always been very interested in foreign cultures. I've also learned a lot about them. I heard that Miss Windsor is from another country. May I ask you a question? " eli said with a smile.

Clement was speechless.

'Since when are you interested in a foreign culture? Why didn't I know about it?'

"Of course, you can." Windsor smiled in response. She didn't refuse the question at all.

However, a few minutes later, the smile on her face gradually froze, and small beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

The more confident she was earlier, the more panicky she was now.

In the beginning, the questions that Eli asked were really about the foreign country. She knew most of it, but for some reason, Eli suddenly started asking about her situation here and what she had been doing there!

However, how could Windsor reveal what she had been doing in the empire? She could only make up stories!

However, the more Eli asked, the more logical his questions became. This left Windsor at a loss for an answer, and she was afraid.

It was a pity that Lyas was not here, or she would have been able to empathize deeply with Windsor's feelings.

Just as Windsor was about to collapse, suddenly, Eli laughed and said, " that's all I have to ask. Thank you, miss Windsor, for answering my questions. "

"It doesn't matter!" Windsor didn't seem to have expected why Eli had suddenly stopped, but she still felt as if a stone had fallen from her heart.

'God, it's finally over.'

Herman, who was standing beside him, was also puzzled As to why eli was asking a bunch of seemingly unrelated questions. However, since the questions were harmless, so he didn't stop him.

In his heart, other than his mother, eli should be the person he had the best relationship with. he was willing to believe that eli wouldn't do anything bad to him.

But this time, he felt that it was probably eli who had made a mistake.

After that, they chatted normally. However, Eli would still interject occasionally, and Windsor would answer very cautiously every time.

After chatting, Eli and the others left first.

"Eli, I told you Windsor is a good girl! " along the way, Herman said to eli.

Eli just looked at him calmly.

'My stupid senior!'

"Oh, right, I forgot something. I'll go back and get it." As if remembering something, Eli suddenly said.

"Alright, alright!" Herman and scholar Clement nodded and watched as Eli returned.

…

"This is too terrifying!"

At this time, in the original private room, Windsor wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and panted as she watched the few of them leave.

In fact, she had experienced similar meetings many times, and it had always been the same situation in the past.

She and David had been traveling between different countries and cities. Windsor had relied on her beauty to attract some people's interest and then deceived them.

Of course, they would usually not choose people with real status, as that would make things difficult for them. They would usually choose people who had some money but no power.

And this time, they met Herman.

Originally, they only wanted to make a small profit, but after hearing that Herman had a house that was worth nearly 100 gold tarls, they immediately decided to grab him.

That was why all these things happened. Otherwise, they would have left a few days ago.

After all, they had already earned more than a dozen golden tars from Herman, which was normal for them. But this time, they wanted more.

But today's meeting really made her a little scared.

Every time eli asked her a question, she felt as if he had seen through her.

"Fortunately, it's already over. They shouldn't have noticed the problem. " Windsor took a deep breath and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened again, and someone she didn't want to see walked in. It was Eli.

"I'm sorry, I forgot something!" Eli walked in politely.

"Do you need me to help you find it?" Windsor didn't expect eli to return again, and her heart started beating rapidly again.

"It's okay. I remember where it was!" This time, Eli walked in directly, then walked to the table and picked up a copper coin from it.

" oh, it's here indeed. I almost lost it. "

Windsor, 'Don't scare me like that.'

" Oh, right. Miss Windsor, there's something I need to tell you," Eli said in a relaxed manner as he put the brass tarts back into his money bag.

"What?" Windsor was rather puzzled.

"You're not suitable for Herman. Please leave him." Eli looked up at Windsor.

Windsor's pupils instantly widened, but she still replied, "I don't understand your suggestion. Herman and I are truly in love. "

Eli walked towards the door, and as he passed Windsor, he said coldly in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "This is not a suggestion. It's a warning!"

" if something happens to Herman, I'll have a lot more work to do. I'll be very unhappy. "

The cold voice reached Windsor's ears, making her feel a little cold. Just as she was about to say something, she realized that eli had already left the room.

After a few minutes, she also left the room.

Chapter 49: Crushing

On the other side, Herman and scholar clement had already left, and eli had returned to the library alone.

In the previous interrogation, as well as the evidence left in her body, he was very certain that Windsor was a liar, a repeat offender at scamming money.

There was naturally a reason why he had given a warning instead of directly attacking.

First, they were in Jun Lin city, which was a little inconvenient. Also, if someone died, it would be too cruel for Herman, and he was sure that she had accomplices, which would be even more troublesome.

!!

Secondly, her goal was money, so Herman would be fine for a while.

"Let's see if she knows what's good for her." Eli shook his head.

The best-case scenario would be for Windsor to leave on her own.

Of course, if she really didn't want to leave and did something irrational, eli wouldn't mind doing something.

Following the path, Eli quickly returned to the library.

On the second floor of the library, in the office, Eli saw the teacher, but not Herman.

However, when he saw scholar Clement's speechless expression, he knew what had happened.

" Herman left, but he still thought that he had found his true love! " Scholar Clement said, speechless.

"Oh." Eli nodded.

Eli was already very sure, but scholar Clement probably had his own thoughts as well. After all, he was shrewd. Scholar Clement was almost 60 years old, so he was naturally someone who had seen many storms.

"The Imperial Police Department is closed today. I'll look for her myself tomorrow!" As a teacher, Clement naturally wouldn't let Herman enter the fire pit.

As for the empire's police station, it was similar to a police station.

"Mm, don't bother about this matter. If something really happens, there might be someone else behind this Windsor. You won't be able to handle it!" scholar clement added.

Eli nodded.

"Don't worry. We didn't provoke Windsor. They won't make a move for a while, so we still have plenty of time!" Scholar Clement comforted.

…

That afternoon, a cry of surprise came from scholar clement's office.

"What? Herman is missing?"

In the room, scholar clement looked at the library staff in front of him in surprise.

It turned out that Clement was still worried, so he sent someone to look for Herman in the afternoon. However, after searching the whole house, he still couldn't find him.

"The Imperial Police are already off work at this time. They definitely wouldn't send out people for someone who's not sure if he's missing." Clement mumbled.

The truth was that the people couldn't rely on the imperial police.

"No, I have to do something." Scholar Clement seemed to have realized something and immediately walked out of the door.

Among the people who cared about Herman, scholar Clement was definitely one of the tops.

But before he could walk out, he turned around and said to Eli, who was raising his head not far away, " Eli, you go back first. Go back and wait for the news."

Eli was there to help with work.

However, he also had a strange expression on his face at the moment.

He had warned her in the afternoon, and now she was taking action in the afternoon. She looked down at him.

Or did Herman volunteer himself to her?

"Alright, teacher!" But Eli still said to Clement.

As he spoke, Clement had already left the room, and so did Eli.

As he walked out of the door, he closed his eyes and tried to sense Windsor's location.

When he returned in the morning, it wasn't really just a warning. Similarly, without making a sound, he also left a spiritual imprint on Windsor so that it would be easier for Eli to find her.

At this moment, she was in a house in Jun Lin city.

She had completely ignored his warning.

He was a little angry.

…

In the Western part of Junlin city.

This was a slum area that was about to be abandoned. It was said that it was going to be demolished and rebuilt, so there was almost no one here at the moment. There were dilapidated houses everywhere.

At this moment, there were three people in a relatively intact courtyard.

However, two of them were standing, while the last one was unconscious and tied to a chair.

" David, is this really okay? I really feel that something is wrong," Windsor said to David with a conflicted expression.

After hearing Eli's warning, she was really scared, so she returned to the tavern and informed David to get ready to leave. Although David was upset, he agreed to leave.

However, they didn't expect Herman to show up just as they were about to leave.

Perhaps due to his ferocity, David actually suggested tying Herman up and demanding he gives up the proof of ownership. He would then sell the proof to the black market before leaving.

"Don't hesitate. We've already done it. As long as we get the deed, we'll kill this guy and sell him. We'll leave after that. I've already contacted the black market." David said. After all, he was the backbone.

"But who would dare to take it?" Windsor hesitated.

"Hmph, who do you think is behind the black market? they don't care." David snorted coldly.

Upon seeing that David was a little unhappy, Windsor didn't dare to say anything.

"Don't worry. We've done this seven or eight times, and we've never failed. Just a warning and you're so scared. Hmph, it's just that that man is not here. If he were, I would've killed him!" David seemed to like Windsor as well, so he consoled her.

Windsor nodded and stopped struggling.

"oh? Who would have you killed?"

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the quiet courtyard.

David and Windsor froze at the same time and turned to look.

Not far away from the broken gate, a man in black clothes and holding a cane slowly walked in. historical

"Eli!" Windsor's eyes widened as if she couldn't believe that she was seeing this person.

David, on the other hand, looked at eli cautiously as he walked in, his eyes wandering in other directions.

"Not a bad place, a good place to do bad things," Eli commented on the small courtyard as if he didn't see the two of them.

"How did you find this place?"

At some point in time, David had already picked up the Knight's longsword that he had brought along in advance and was looking at Eli with a serious expression.

"You're nervous? Don't be nervous. I'm alone." As if seeing David's tensed muscles, Eli smiled.

David felt wonderful at that moment.

At first, he was still very nervous, but when he saw that Eli was really alone, his mood became a little better. However, he found it strange that Eli was so calm.

'you're just an ordinary person. Who gave you the courage to come here?'

David also knew that he had no other choice but to kill Eli. Therefore, he got ready without any hesitation or nonsense. His muscles tensed up quickly, and he held his longsword tightly in his hand.

The next second, he suddenly attacked.

He stomped on the ground, and the terrifying power directly caused a small pit to appear on the ground. He brandished his longsword and slashed at Eli. He had used this attack to cut off the heads of many enemies before.

Today was no exception.

"Go to hell!" David grinned.

But the next second, he was stunned.

Just as he was a few meters away from Eli, a wall of wind suddenly appeared, blocking his longsword. Then, he saw the man pick up his cane and glance at him.

Then, as if his head had suffered a heavy blow, he instantly felt dizzy and was directly thrown into the air by the wind wall.

He couldn't do anything at all in the sky, and he was also in a dizzy state.

However, when he finally regained his consciousness, he saw that a wind blade had already kissed his neck.

In an instant.

Blood splattered all over the sky, and in a daze, David saw his body separate.

"Am I dead?" David's vision gradually fell into darkness.

With a bang, the two halves of the body fell to the ground.

On the other side, Windsor was already dumbfounded as she watched the scene with her mouth agape.

Was this a demon?

Was there such a power in this world?

Was this the power of a Grand Knight?

Fear instantly enveloped Windsor, and she collapsed to the ground.

"spare me!"

Upon seeing David's instant death, Windsor begged while trembling.

However, it seemed like Eli didn't intend to answer her. Instead, he sent a wind blade flying over.

Blood splattered again.

"I've given you a chance, and there's only one chance. "

Eli walked over slowly, looked at the corpses in front of him, and sighed.

Report chapter Comments

In the dark courtyard, standing on the clean ground in between the pools of blood, Eli's mood was slightly different.

He didn't feel anything when he killed just now, but now he had a strange feeling. He didn't feel any discomfort. Perhaps it was the absolute rationality of being a mage.

There was no pain, regret, or any other unnecessary emotion. Even the joy of getting off work early today seemed to be stronger than this.

"Being too rational is not necessarily a good thing!" Eli sighed and started searching the body.

Wasn't it normal to kill and loot corpses?

In the end, Eli found more than fifty gold tarls on the two of them, as well as a Knight's skill book. Eli was surprised to find that.

He did not have any thoughts about becoming a knight, but he felt that he could have a deeper understanding of knights through this book. Eli was very happy.

After that, Eli left immediately.

As for Herman, he would just leave him here.

When he woke up, he would definitely be very surprised.

…

The next afternoon, the imperial police found Herman in the abandoned house.

According to Herman, he woke up in the afternoon and saw that scene. He was tied up, so he almost crawled out of there before he was discovered.

No one knew how Herman felt that day.

However, that night, Herman also learned from the Imperial Police that Windsor and David were repeat offenders, which made him feel ashamed.

Hence, on the fourth day at work, Herman said that he would take on more work in the future, which was a pleasant surprise for eli.

Herman had a strong tolerance, so he quickly got over the incident. It was said that he met a nurse in the hospital, and they seemed to have fallen in love. historical

This time, it was normal. she was just an ordinary girl.

The two of them were preparing to get married a year later. Of course, this was a story for later.

As for who had killed Windsor and David, no one cared.

At first, the police wanted to investigate, but there were no clues, so they gave up. No one cared about the life and death of two repeat offenders.

As for Scholar Clement, he had gone to a noble he was familiar with to ask for help, but the noble didn't care much. After some running around, Clement found Herman at the imperial police station.

As for Eli…

He went home to sleep. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him.

…

Herman's matter had come to an end.

On the other side of the empire, a storm was suddenly brewing.

No one knew where the news came from, but the king's health was on the verge of collapse. Suddenly, Jun Lin City and the whole kingdom became unstable.

The commoners loved the current king, and when he was the king, the Empire had been developing well. No one knew what would happen if he died.

Of course, compared to them, the surrounding countries were also very concerned about this matter.

The most obvious feeling was that there were many more foreigners in Junlin. No one knew what purpose they had in Junlin.

As for Eli, he went to and from work as usual.

He would consume a bottle of khorium no. 1 every once in a while, and his mental strength was also growing. However, he could clearly feel that his resistance to this potion was getting stronger and stronger. It might not be long before it would be useless.

He had also carefully read through the knight's book that he had found on David.

He found out that the advancement of a Grand Knight actually required the integration of elements. However, it did not record how they integrated elements. This should be a secret, so he did not spend too much effort on it.

Half a year later, Eli received a piece of news from his teacher.

Perhaps due to diplomatic considerations, the empire decided to visit the neighboring countries to establish a deeper connection.

There would be a marquis of the empire leading the team, along with some knights, musicians, scholars, and so on. they would visit and interact with each other to establish friendship between the two countries.

As for who would lead the team, who would be brought, and where the visit would be, those were all classified information.

But eli knew very well that this matter wouldn't be delayed for too long.

He reckoned that this was the king's last plan to pave the way for the first prince before his death.

Of course, this matter had nothing to do with Eli and the others.

First of all, it was impossible for the visiting group to bring him, an ordinary librarian, along. Even if he were to go, he would definitely be going with his teacher.

However, with how low-key Scholar Clement usually was, it was almost impossible for him to be chosen.

Although this was only a diplomatic activity, it was a good promotion for scholars. Many famous scholars and even Grand scholars would fight for it.

It really wasn't that Eli was looking down on her teacher.

Scholar clement was a slacker among the scholars. Perhaps he was old and knew that he couldn't compete, so he just did his own thing.

It could be said that clement was the most low-key scholar among all the scholars.

Even if there were activities outside, they almost didn't participate unless they were forced to.

Regarding this, Eli didn't care.

This was also good.

…

At the same time, in the palace, the pale-faced King Bryne the sixth sat on the throne. There were two guards on both sides of him, and below him stood a man who did not look any younger than the king.

" Marquis Alina, you should know that even though the kingdom is doing well now, after my death, whether it is the rats within the empire or the jackals outside the empire, they will all make their move.

"At this time, we need more friends to help us. This time, I will send you to the Lorraine Kingdom to establish an alliance with them."

"yes!" marquis Alina also raised his head to look at the king.

This man, who used to be a peak grand knight, had become like this. It was really sad.

It was almost impossible for even a Grand Knight to penetrate the enemy's camp and kill the Duke of Frostwolf, but he had done it. It was simply unimaginable.

"Alright, then you can leave. The members have already been decided, but if you want to change, it's up to you." the king waved his hand, signaling for marquis Alina to leave.

The two of them had known each other for many years and were already very familiar with each other.

"yes." Marquis Alina didn't waste any time and left.

After Marquis Alina left, the king gestured for the two guards to leave.

Not long after, another man walked in.

He was wearing a loose scholar's robe, had a head of white hair, black eyes, and a strong body.

"Ash, you don't have much time left." the man said.

"I know!" The king, Ash, coughed twice, and a mouthful of blood flowed out. "There's an item left behind by my ancestors. It can only be used by consuming my flesh and blood. It's really terrifying. I'm clearly a Grand Knight, but after using it, I can explode with power far stronger than a Grand Knight." Said the king helplessly.

"If you hadn't mastered that power called spiritual power and wanted to use it, it would have been impossible. So you paid the price." the man looked at the king and shook his head.

"Haha, that's true," Bryne the sixth smiled and asked, " "are you still looking for that power?"

" of course, since Saleen came from the outside, there must be a place famous for having 'mages'. I have been looking for it, but I have not found it. " The man shook his head.

"Stop finding, or you might end up getting killed." Bryne the sixth said with a chuckle.

"If that's the case, I'll just accept it." The man shook his head and said.

"Also, your eldest son has been trying to meddle in the library recently. I won't allow that to happen."

"Haha, okay, I'll warn him. But after I die, I probably won't be able to intimidate him for long. After all, he's the future king." a smile appeared on Ash's pale face.

It was no secret that the king had a good relationship with the head of the library.

"Okay, I'll be leaving then. Take care of yourself". The man took one last look at the king and left.

Finally, in the empty Palace, only Bryne the sixth was left on the iron throne.

51 List

On the other side, when marquis Alina got home, he lay on the sofa. Although he had recovered from the poison a few years ago, he had some minor problems, such as getting tired more easily than before.

"Father, this is the name list given by the king!"

At this moment, Alex walked in.

Compared to more than three years ago, he was also more mature. He was much older than Eli, already 26 years old, and was already engaged to another Marquis' daughter.

Actually, many of the people that eli knew were engaged or even married. Kurt got married when he was nineteen, and Eli wasn't even invited.

Herman and Alex were also about to get married. Even Klein and Alice, whom he had met once before, were already married. Of course, they didn't invite Eli to their wedding.

Speaking of which, scholar clement had told eli many times to find a girl to marry, but it seemed like eli didn't have that plan.

There was also Rias, who seemed to be single at the moment. She had left the library and returned to the Gimori family. It was said that she would leave Junlin and head to the fief given to her by the count.

"Oh, is it the list of people who will be coming with?" Asked Marquis Alina.

At the moment, Alex had already taken over many of the family's businesses, and Alina was also working hard to groom Alex into an outstanding heir in his remaining time. As such, there were many things that Alex was actually doing for him.

" yes, the king just sent it over. " Alex nodded and handed over a document.

Marquis Alina took the document, opened it, and took out a few pieces of paper. On the paper was a list of the trip.

[ nobles: marquis Alina, count Ivan, count Gimori ]

[ Knights: great knight Haworson (Imperial Knight Academy), great knight Leighton (Imperial Royal Knights Regiment), great knight…, great knight Abaddon (Imperial Knight Academy) ]

[ other members: Robert (Imperial monastery, doctor), Hila (Imperial Library, scholar) ]

With just a glance, there were dozens of main members. if these people also brought students, followers, and the like, there might be more.

"There are too many people." marquis Alina shook his head. If things went as they were now, there would probably be hundreds of people. They were going on a diplomatic mission, not to fight a war.

"Get rid of these people." He was also the screening staff and removed some unnecessary personnel.

"Then, father, do you want to change some people? The manager of the cross Chamber of Commerce wants to participate in this event, and he has paid a lot." Alex said.

"Alright," he said. Marquis Alina nodded and added one more person.

Alex was going to be the leader of the family in the future, so he didn't mind giving him some authority.

He was very clear that although it was diplomatic relations, the benefits involved were too great. Among the characters he had just deleted, who knew how many of them he had already offended by removing them?

How many people still wanted to squeeze in?

"Oh, right.?" as if he suddenly thought of something, marquis Alina picked up a pen and deleted Hila (imperial library, scholar).

"Father, Hila seems to be the youngest scholar in the empire at 26 years old. She has also made several suggestions for this mission. She is knowledgeable and has a certain reputation. It is not good to delete her like this. " Alex said.

Upon hearing this, Marquis Alina glanced at him and said, "We're going to make a diplomatic trip. The situation outside is complicated, and she's too young. We need an experienced old scholar.

"Do you understand?"

Alex was about to say something, but he suddenly thought of something, and he paused for a moment before saying, "I understand."

"Then who do you think is the most suitable?" Marquis Alina asked again.

"In terms of qualifications, I think scholar Clement is very suitable." this time, Alex said firmly.

"yes, you're right." marquis Alina pretended to think for a moment and then agreed.

With a few words, the two of them deleted a famous scholar in the empire and replaced him with scholar clement.

As for a reason, there was naturally no need to explain.

So what if there was nepotism?

The king had already given him the power anyway, so it was up to him to do what he wanted.

As for who Hila was, it had nothing to do with him. She was just a scholar who did not meet his requirements.

…

Naturally, Eli didn't know about the conversation between Marquis Alina and Alex.

As usual, he was preparing for the upcoming learner's test.

"Four years, and another four years. This time, I must become a learner." Eli walked on the road.

He didn't really want to become a scholar, but if he could become a scholar, he would have an additional five days of leave every month, half of his workload, and a salary increase.

How could he reject this?

The test was naturally a cinch for Eli. When the time came, he would probably just casually do it, and he would be done for. There was not much difficulty, to begin with.

"It's Herman who's in trouble this time." Eli shook his head.

Herman had only started learning from his teacher a year earlier than eli, and it had been almost nine years since then. He was 25 years old, the same age as eli, and the average age to become a learner was actually 30 years old. This also showed how amazing it was for hila to become a scholar at 26 years old.

Even now, eli still remembered that scholar clement had said that he knew Eli would become a scholar within four years. It was only later that he found out that he had said the same thing to Herman and Kurt. The man said the same thing to every one of his students.

"A peaceful life!"

Eli sighed. historical

In fact, his life was really very plain. His main life was work and experiments.

…

The news that the marquis had confirmed the list quickly spread.

As the name list was submitted, some people already knew who was on the list. Many people felt heartache when they saw it. They had clearly spent money, but they still did not get on the list.

At the same time, in a villa, a woman was looking at the letter in her hand, her eyes full of surprise.

The woman was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. She had a good face and was wearing a black scholar's uniform. Although it was large, it was not difficult to see the curvaceous figure under it.

At this moment, she was sitting in the living room, which was filled with all kinds of books. It was like a sea of books. When the woman sat in it, she had a fusion of knowledge and sexy beauty.

However, the beauty was frowning at the moment.

The letter that had just arrived told her that she had been squeezed out of the tour and that she had been replaced by an unknown scholar.

It was worth noting that the imperial library involved more than just librarians. Some scholars did not necessarily work in the library. They might work at home, as vassals of the nobles, or even in the palace.

"Scholar clement? Who is this?"

The empire's newly promoted scholar, Hila, frowned and asked.

52 Coincidence

"No, I have to make a trip!"

Although Hila did not really care about that spot, she had already made up her mind, and now, her spot had been taken away by an unknown scholar. How could she accept that?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Her full chest rose and fell with her breathing.

"No, I'll go tomorrow morning!" Hila looked outside, and the full moon was already high in the sky. At this time, even if it was the library, there should not be many people.

Hila took a deep breath.

She wanted to see who this clement had.

…

The full moon gradually set, and the sun gradually rose.

The bright golden sun touched the earth, and the cool morning wind swept through every street in Junlin. The city began to come alive.

Eli walked down the street, heading towards the library as usual.

The tramps on both sides of the street were no longer the tramps they used to be, and many of the shops on the street had been replaced.

The people on the road were either walking quickly, taking a leisurely stroll, or worrying about not being able to find work.

'khorium one's effects are getting worse and worse. I need to make new plans. It's a pity that Saleen Metatrin left me with very little information about potions, and there are no other mental power potions. It seems that I can only rely on time to slowly grind it out.' On the way, Eli thought to himself.

It was true that it was difficult for Eli to concoct a perfect potion, but thankfully, Eli didn't need to do that. He only needed to concoct one that consumed life force to permanently increase mental power.

However, the only problem was that even though Roland's trade association had developed a lot, it was still limited to the Empire. The materials were all materials that could be found in the Empire, and Eli had more or less studied these materials, so he did not need them.

Unfortunately, he had no access to other countries.

'Sigh, forget it. I'll just take it one step at a time. At most, I'll just slowly grind it out with time.' Eli was very relaxed.

In fact, he didn't need the spiritual force potion.

Although it felt good to quickly increase his spiritual power, he actually cared more about the process.

To a mage, the spiritual force could be transformed into visible power, but in the end, knowledge was the true source of a Sorcerer's strength.

However, knowledge did not come out of thin air. In addition, the help he had was limited, so he could only use this as the foundation in the notes to continue to extend and expand.

The simplest way was to constantly do various experiments and carry out various investigations.

For example, in the experiment to make khorium one, other than the unexpected success of the potion, Eli learned that the process of making the potion was more important than the final success.

He couldn't slack off in his studies for even a moment, and he couldn't stop his experiments for too long either.

As he pondered, he quickly arrived at the library.

It was only when he arrived at the library that he found out that something special had happened today. Scholar Clement was called out early in the morning while Herman went out to play with his fiancée. He told Eli that he had gotten engaged a while ago.

At the time, Eli even saw the girl. She looked average, but she looked very nice.

Eli also observed her for a moment. She was a very clean girl.

In the blink of an eye, that cheeky Herman was also getting married. It could only be said that time passed too quickly.

"Alright, I've been slacking off for the whole day!" His teacher and senior had run away, so Eli decided to slack off for the rest of the day.

He went straight to the second floor and opened the door to the teacher's office.

Then, he went in and lay on the recliner. He began to think about the problems he had encountered in the past few days.

…

On the other side, an exquisite carriage stopped in front of the library.

A woman got off the carriage. She was wearing a white, elegant long dress with a slender waist. She walked towards the library, and the eyes of the people around her instantly focused on this beautiful lady.

The only thing they regretted was that the woman was still wearing a black gauze hat, which blocked her face.

"This must be a beautiful lady!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Hila, on the other hand, was already used to such situations, and she walked toward the library.

"Beautiful lady, please come in." The guard at the door saw Hila and quickly greeted her.

"Do you know where scholar Clement is?" Hila had not been to the library for a long time, and she did not know who scholar clement was.

The guard felt extremely happy at this time, and he stammered, " beautiful lady, scholar Clement's office is on the second floor, the one closest to the right side of the corridor.

"Alright, thank you," Hila said politely before walking into the library.

Perhaps it was because of her beauty, no one stopped her along the way. She went straight to the second floor and arrived at the room that the guard had mentioned.

Hila gently knocked on the door.

…

Upon hearing the knock, eli, who was lying down, stood up immediately.

"teacher, you've returned so quickly?" Eli was a little surprised.

His mental power flowed out, and Hila's image outside the door was reflected in Eli's consciousness.

It was a woman, and she was very beautiful. He didn't know her.

"Please enter!" Eli didn't know who she was either, but he still felt like inviting her in first.

Hila, who was outside the door, heard the sound and gently pushed the door open, walking in.

"What a beautiful woman!" upon seeing the woman, eli was a little surprised too. Such a beautiful woman was rare even in the empire.

'Is he scholar Clement?'

Hila looked at Eli. Because of the transformation, Eli's face did not look young, but neither did he look old. Hila estimated that he was around 23 to 28 years old.

As Hila did not know much about clement, she did not know how old he was.

But seeing that " Clement " was so young, many thoughts appeared in her mind. The first thought was that he was a descendant of a gilded noble.

In fact, whether it was the library, the cloister, or even the knight academy, there were similar people. They were blessed from their birth.

She started to understand why she had been replaced. It was politics at work.

As such, Hila was very angry right now. If her slot had been given to an old scholar, he might not be so angry, but right now, she was really angry.

However, she still decided to test " scholar Clement " first to see how bad his academic ability was. historical

And from the expression on scholar Clement's face, he didn't know her.

"Do you need something?" Eli had a strange look on his face. This woman didn't say anything the moment she came in. Was there something wrong with her?

" It's like this. I came to the library recently and had been studying. I have a lot of questions. I heard that you are very knowledgeable, so I want to ask you some questions. May I? " Hila requested.

Eli thought it was something important, but she just wanted to ask for advice.

Occasionally, he would encounter people from the library who would come to ask for advice. Eli usually wouldn't stop them since they would only pose simple questions.

It was a pleasure to help others.

"Of course you can," Eli replied with a smile.

"Thank you so much," Hila thanked him, and the questions that she should be asking appeared in her mind.

Hila left, her eyes blank.

...

In the carriage, Hila had even forgotten how she had opened the door, how she had come down from the second floor of the library, and how she had entered the carriage.

She sat in the carriage, took a few deep breaths, and clutched her chest.

She wasn't angry, but she was a little confused!

"How did this happen?" Hila took off her veil and pinched her beautiful face, doubting her life.

This was the first time in her life that she felt defeated in terms of knowledge.

She closed her eyes and tried to recall what had happened in the library. It was as if every scene was still clear.

At first, she had asked with the intention of testing him, and then she had asked some random questions that were actually quite difficult. she didn't expect " clement " to answer all of them and even give some details that she hadn't noticed.

This also triggered Hila's competitive spirit.

Gradually, the two of them went from asking questions, to discussing, to arguing, and finally to silence.

As for why she was silent, it was because Hila was asked a lot of questions that she was also puzzled by. Then, the two of them retorted, but every time they argued, she found that Eli was right every time.

Thus, Hila fell silent.

"Fortunately, it didn't blow up this time. I was too impulsive." hila shook her head self-deprecatingly. she had always thought that she would be one of the top scholars.

But today, her confidence was completely shattered.

Furthermore, clement was so low-key that hila had not even heard of him. However, Hila felt that this unknown scholar's knowledge was not inferior to that of the grand scholar.

It was too shocking.

This reminded her of what her teacher had once taught her: a true scholar should always be humble and have a heart for learning.

In the past, she didn't quite understand this sentence, but now she seemed to understand.

Scholar Clement was the best embodiment of this sentence.

As for herself, the youngest scholar, the most beautiful scholar, and the lady who might become the Empire's first female Grand scholar ...

She thought of all the glory she had in the past. It turned out that it was just fleeting clouds.

"Next, I'm going to settle down and focus on myself." hila clenched her right fist and looked out of the carriage, which was gradually moving away from the library. In her mind, she thought of 'clement'.

"Clement, I will definitely surpass you."

Facing the rising sun, hila said with certainty.

...

" She's finally gone. "

In the library, Eli stretched his body, skillfully took out Clement's cup, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Such a beautiful lady. How could she be so pushy? historical

The questions came one after another, making it a little troublesome for him.

"Whoever marries her will be in deep trouble!" Eli clicked his tongue.

He had thought that it would only be a few questions, but he didn't expect this woman to ask him for almost half an hour. Moreover, the woman would always argue until her face was red and then lower her head in shame.

As for the woman's question, Eli didn't really feel anything.

If one could basically read all the books in the library, one could easily answer all the questions. Of course, this might require a bit of memory and the ability to link the knowledge together.

It just so happened that Eli had that ability.

However, she was really quite beautiful, just a little stupid. She always had to think for a long time to solve some problems.

Who knew what Hila would think if she knew about Eli's evaluation?

...

"Is that Hila? Why is she in the library? "

Just as the carriage left, a plain and ancient carriage slowly stopped in front of the library.

Scholar Clement got off the carriage with a happy expression and saw Hila, who had just left. He could not help but feel a little confused.

He knew Hila, but she probably did not know him. He had once seen this famous new female scholar at the Grand Scholar's Banquet, and she was indeed very attractive.

He felt that he was inferior in some aspects.

However, why would this scholar come to the library? Was she here to look for information?

Clement was a little confused, but his confusion only lasted for a few seconds before he was buried by another matter.

He quickly walked toward the library and entered it.

"It seems that the beautiful lady has missed him. Will she come again? " When the guard saw Clement, he guessed that Hila had not found scholar Clement and had missed him. He wondered if he would be able to see that beautiful lady again.

However, since he had not found her, why did Hila still go up for more than half an hour, and when she came out, she seemed to have lost her soul?

This made the guard a little puzzled.

...

Clement entered the library and quickly went up to the second floor.

He went straight to his office and pushed the door open without even checking if there was anyone inside.

Then, he saw eli holding his cup and drinking his tea.

If it was any other time, he might have said a few words, but today, he was not in the mood for that.

"Eli, go back and pack your things. In three days, we'll set off for the Lorraine Kingdom!" clement said quickly.

Eli was confused.

At this moment, Eli was holding his teacher's teacup and enjoying his high-grade tea leaves. When he heard this news, he was also dumbfounded.

Pack up?

The Lorraine kingdom?

What was he doing?

"Teacher, what happened?" asked eli as he put down his teacup.

"Hmph, you don't know this, but I'm actually on the list for this visit. Sigh, as expected, my hard work over the years has been seen. I heard that even the famous female scholar of the Empire, Hila, was not selected. As expected, your teacher still has a status." Clement said proudly as if he hadn't been this happy in a long time.

Eli raised his brows. 'he actually got chosen.

'When did reality become so magical?'

"Who is the Marquis leading the team this time?" After some thought, Eli asked.

"It's marquis Alina."

Well, the case was solved.

Eli immediately understood what was going on.

Alina was friends with his teacher.

"As expected of you, teacher. This is the Empire's recognition of you!" Of course, Eli would definitely not tell the truth. Instead, he just flattered him.

"Of course." upon hearing this, scholar clement was obviously happier and said, "I'll give you a day off today. Go and pack, but don't bring too many things. "

"Alright!" Eli nodded.

He had been thinking that there were no foreign materials, but here he was.

Moreover, they would be following the Empire's patrol team, so their safety was very guaranteed. They could also go to foreign countries to experience the local customs and broaden their horizons, and it was for a public fee.

He had no reason to refuse such a good deal.

The experience was also very important to a wizard.

Moreover, he should go out and take a look.

For more than eight years, he had never left Junlin for more than a few kilometers. It was time for him to go out.

He had immortality and he wasn't going to coop up in Junlin for a few hundred years. That would be too boring.

There were still three days left.

Hence, there was plenty of time for eli to prepare.

He was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, he left after drinking the good tea. Scholar Clement was happy, so he didn't say anything and even asked him to drink more.

After finishing the tea, Eli immediately left the library and headed for the market.

After all, he was going on a trip, so he had to bring some things. Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient. From simple toiletries to some materials that he might need, he bought a lot.

Of course, considering the problem of weight, he was also very moderate.

But for some of the materials, Eli was ready to go to Roland.

After all, it was really troublesome to have no channels.

As Roland's rose chamber of commerce was on the street next to the market, Eli chose to walk there. Coincidentally, he had also made an appointment with Roland a week ago, and it was today.

However, when Eli arrived at the Rose Chamber of Commerce, he realized that the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce was already full of people.

"What about Roland? He has to give us a guarantee!"

"Get Roland out!"

"We must see Roland today, or we won't leave."

At that moment, a group of merchants in luxurious clothes blocked the entrance of the rose chamber of commerce. A group of people wanted to squeeze in, but they were blocked by a group of guards.

"What happened?"

Eli was puzzled.

He had even looked for Roland once three months ago. At that time, Roland was in high spirits. At that time, because of the king's influence, the Rose Chamber of Commerce had taken on many big orders, and its influence had directly surpassed many established Chambers of Commerce.

However, it seemed that the situation had changed today.

"Mr. Eli!" Just as Eli was feeling puzzled, a voice came from behind him.

He turned around and saw a man. Eli had some impression of him. He seemed to be someone close to Roland.

"Eh, Chris, what's going on here? Did something happen to Roland? " Eli asked.

"Mr. eli, something did happen. " Chris didn't expect Eli to remember his name and was a little touched, but then he frowned and said, " Mr. eli, it's complicated. It's not something I can explain clearly. You should talk to the boss. The boss is worried that something might go wrong with you coming here today, so he asked me to wait here. Come with me. " historical

"So, Roland isn't here!" Eli also understood that something must have gone wrong, or it would be impossible for even Roland not to dare to come to his Chamber of Commerce.

After Chris finished speaking, he walked towards the street not far away, with eli following behind.

Soon, Eli met Roland in a private room in a Tavern.

However, Rowland seemed to be a little drunk at this time. He was leaning on the sofa with a bottle of rum in one hand, and his face was a little red.

"Eli, my friend, you're here!" he said. Roland wobbled and raised the bottle with his right hand.

"What happened?"

Chris left the room, leaving the two behind.

Roland burped at first and then said, " Eli, my Chamber of Commerce might be finished. I might not be able to provide you with materials in the future."

"What happened? did the chamber of commerce run out of funds? I can help you if you need it. " Although the materials were more important, Eli was also very concerned about the state of his few friends.

" Haha, thanks. I knew you were rich, but this time, it's not something that can be solved with money. " Roland shook his head, poured himself a glass of wine, and finished it in one gulp.

"As you know, due to the expansion of the Chamber of Commerce, I've encountered many competitors. The biggest one is the cross Chamber of Commerce. They played a dirty trick and directly cut off our domestic suppliers. However, due to the previous contract, I still have a huge amount of medicinal ingredients to deliver in batches. I can't back down now."

"Then how long can you guys last?" Eli knew that he really couldn't help at the moment.

"At most, half a year. After half a year, the large number of orders will directly crush me. You should have seen the group of merchants." Roland grinned, full of self-mockery.

"I've already sent you the materials." Roland stood up and said, " you don't have to worry about me. maybe things will turn for the better in half a year.

"Don't underestimate me. I've already sent people to the big chambers of commerce in the surrounding countries to seek cooperation. Maybe there will be a turn for the better. " Roland seemed to have recovered a little and said with a smile.

"If you need anything, you can find me anytime," Eli said without any nonsense.

True friends didn't need to talk too much.

"I will. You are the person I can't understand the most. You are two years younger than me, but you always give me a sense of mystery. " Roland nodded.

"I won't stay any longer. You might need some private space now. Also, don't drink too much. It's not good for your health. Anna will be unhappy! " Seeing this, Eli knew that Roland needed some time alone, so he prepared to leave.

Anna was Roland's current wife, and they were married a year ago.

"Get lost!" Roland scolded jokingly. "Also, you're already 25, and you're not married yet."

"I'm not in a hurry!" eli smiled as well and left the room.

He was really not in a hurry.

With regard to Roland's matter, Eli could not help.

But when Eli answered home, he realized that there was already a huge pile of materials in the house, three to five times more than what he usually bought, all of which were gifts from Roland.

"Really, he should look after himself first!" eli looked at the materials in front of him and shook his head, his emotions a little complicated.

Putting away the materials, Eli returned to his room.

In his heart, he was prepared to see if he could do anything during this trip to the Lorraine kingdom.

...

Three days later.

It was a sunny day.

A huge convoy had already gathered in a manor in the suburbs. Just by looking at it, it was estimated that there were more than a hundred people. The carriages were parked in a random and orderly manner, and some of them belonged to various forces.

Not far away, there was a large number of carriages pulling unknown goods.

Knights and grand knights were riding on horses, giving off powerful auras. There was also a group of soldiers who were ready to set off at any time.

The carriage in the lead belonged to Alina's family. The count was dressed in noble clothing and was standing at the very front of the group, a person reporting something to him.

"Is everyone here?"

"Lord marquis, everyone has arrived."

"Then let's go." the marquis nodded and got into the carriage.

After receiving the order from the marquis, the moment they left, someone started to direct them. In just a few minutes, a long line of carriages started to move, turning into a long dragon and moving towards the main road.

And off they went.

There was a carriage at the rear of the group.

When the coachman heard the order, he also directed the horse to move forward, and a slight bump was transmitted into the carriage.

"Eli, this is a tour or an exchange. When we reach the Lorraine kingdom, you have to be careful. We're representing the library. " In the carriage, Clement sat on one side of the carriage and spoke to the person opposite him.

The carriage wasn't big, but there weren't many people in it either. There were only two people, eli and scholar clement.

Considering that the journey would take a long time, there were not many people in each carriage. As the representation from the library, the two of them occupied one carriage.

"I understand!" Eli nodded and couldn't help but look at clement, who was opposite him.

At this time, scholar Clement was dressed in his best attire. Not only had he changed into a new scholar's uniform, but his beard had also been carefully trimmed. He was in good condition.

"Teacher, I've never seen you so formal before." Eli laughed and teased.

" hmph, what do you know? This is the empire's recognition of me, so I naturally have to be more serious. " Clement cast a glance at Eli in annoyance.

Eli nodded, not bearing to expose the truth of the matter.

The two of them chatted.

"Oh, right, I saw scholar Hila coming to the library the day before yesterday. Do you know what she was there for? " Clement suddenly asked, as if he had thought of something.

"Hila? I don't know." Eli shook his head.

That day, he had only seen a Pretty Woman who was a little stupid, but he had not seen Hila.

"Oh!"

Clement also asked casually, but there was no answer, so the two fell silent again.

Eli wouldn't try to start a conversation, so he looked out of the car.

The small window of the carriage shone on Jun Lin, but at this moment, the city was getting smaller and smaller in Eli's eyes. This meant that they were getting further and further away from the city.

It had been eight years, but he was still in the same city. This was the first time he had left this place.

"This world is really peaceful!" The sadness only lasted for a moment before he turned his attention to other aspects.

As the carriage advanced, the trees on both sides gradually increased. In the midst of the lush greenery, Eli could even see the wild beasts that were spying on them from the forest.

If it weren't for the fact that there were soldiers and Knights on both sides of the convoy, Eli seriously suspected that a wild beast would have charged straight at them.

Traveling far was never a simple matter, especially a long-distance trip across countries.

In fact, most of the people in the empire would probably live and die wherever they were born. Very few people would choose to leave the safety of their neighborhood.

Therefore, the host must have some ability to be able to escape to Jun Lin from some other places. Otherwise, he would have died on the way. historical

The convoy continued on until nighttime and finally stopped at a large patch of grass.

The coachmen had the horses gnaw on the grass on the ground.

Meanwhile, Eli and his teacher came down from the carriage to stretch their muscles.

"Comfortable!" Eli spread his arms and stretched them out.

Although he could even lie down and sleep in the carriage, Eli still preferred the feeling of nature.

Looking at the surrounding jungle, Eli decided to take a look around and broaden his understanding of this world.

"Eli, there's a chef in the convoy cooking. if you're hungry, you can go over and have some. I'll go visit grand scholar colt. " Clement said to Eli. " oh, and don't stray too far from the convoy. It's dangerous outside. "

Other than clement, there were naturally other people in the library, and grand scholar colt was the highest-ranking person.

"I understand!" eli nodded.

But when he saw that scholar Clement had gone in the other direction, he immediately went to the forest.

Understanding the advice was one thing, but whether or not he would listen was another.

"Don't get too far away from the convoy. The jungle is very dangerous. " Eli met a patrolling team of knights, and one of them reminded him.

"Yes, I won't be too far away." eli nodded as well, accepting his kindness.

"Hey, are you Eli?"

The patrolling team was made up of three people. Someone suddenly said.

"And you are?" eli looked at the knight who spoke, but because he was wearing a helmet, he could not recognize him.

As he spoke, the knight took off his helmet, revealing a red-haired man with a determined face. Eli blinked and remembered. 'wasn't this the man who tried to tame the horse five years ago?

'What is his name again?'

"I'm Andre!" After more than five years, the man had obviously matured a lot, and his body also exuded the aura of an intermediate Knight.

"Of course, Andre. I remember you from five years ago, " Eli greeted him with a smile.

"Hey, you're Eli!" At this moment, the two knights beside Andre also said curiously.

???

'Do I know that many knights?'

"Heh, Eli, you're very famous in the knight academy. Five years ago, because of you, we added many more horsemanship classes, and the price was that we lost a day of rest every week. This made you very famous among the students. " Andre couldn't help but laugh.

Eli, "..." No wonder so many knights knew him. There must be a lot of people secretly scolding him.

"That's right. Back then, I was scolding Eli and Andre while I was in class. But fortunately, we were one year away from graduation, so I felt fine. Those who had been in school for two or three years were the ones who really felt terrible." One of the Knights chuckled.

Eli could only smile in agreement.

He really didn't know that there was such a thing. Poor Knights in training.

"But the most miserable one is still Andre. He's been ambushed and hazed quite a few times!" Another Knight added.

"Hey, don't tell anyone about this!" Hearing this, Andre's eyes widened. This was his dark history.

It was reasonable to think about it this way. as the person who lost to Eli, Andre must have had an unforgettable year in the academy.

"Okay, let's talk next time. We still have to patrol." Andre hurriedly pulled a few of them away. He didn't want his shameless history to be exposed.

Looking at their backs as they left, Eli thought to himself that if he were to meet any students from the Knight Academy in the future, he would just use Herman's name.

There was a risk of being beaten if he used his name.

"Eh? This is a seven-petaled flower, right? "

After Andre and the others left, Eli continued walking toward the forest.

Suddenly, eli saw a small beige flower swaying in the wind in the grass.

The seven-petaled flower was a precious supplementary ingredient for potions. As it was considered a useless plant in the empire, it was very difficult to find. Even eli only had a few.

But today, he actually encountered one just as he wandered about.

"The seven-petaled flower usually grows in large patches. There must be more around here. " something came to his mind, and his eyes lit up. He passed through the grass and entered the woods. In an open space not far away, a pile of beige flowers grew.

"Not bad!" Eli's eyes lit up.

With these seven-petaled flowers, the trip was already worth it.

This might be a good sign too.

56 Arrival

After a night's rest, the journey to the Lorraine kingdom began again.

For safety reasons, they traveled along the main road most of the time, but occasionally they would pass through the territory of some nobles. The local nobles would actively cooperate and send people to escort them, as well as appropriately supplement some resources for the convoy.

Every time this happened, it also meant that they could rest for a day. After all, this was a long journey, so they naturally needed to rest. Not everyone's physique was the same as that of knights.

To Eli, it was also an interesting trip.

Along the way, Eli saw a lot of interesting things, and he would occasionally collect some items that Jun Lin did not have. Some of his knowledge also increased rapidly.

Ten days later, the convoy arrived at the border.

After some negotiations, the convoy successfully crossed the border and entered the boundary of the Lorraine Kingdom.

The kingdom of Lorraine had also sent a group of people to receive them, and the carriage was led forward.

Perhaps it was just like what Eli thought the other day, seeing the seven-petaled flower was a symbol of good luck.

The journey was very smooth, and they did not encounter any obstacles.

However, after thinking about it, it made sense. After all, they were representing the Bryne empire. If anything happened to them, it would inevitably cause a huge dispute. This was something that the Lorraine kingdom did not want to see. Therefore, the Lorraine kingdom would definitely ensure their safety within the kingdom.

As for Eli, he was also observing along the way.

In fact, the Bryne empire and the Lorraine kingdom were located in similar locations. They were basically flat lands. However, as the carriage moved forward, eli also noticed the differences between the two countries.

The first was the land.

Perhaps it was due to the difference in location, but the soil quality of the Lorraine Kingdom was better than that of the Bryne Empire. This resulted in the Lorraine Kingdom being able to produce a large amount of food every year. Other than for their own use, they would even export a large amount of food to the Bryne Empire.

Eli guessed that this was an important reason why the king had chosen to establish diplomatic relations with the kingdom of Lorraine.

The second was the people.

Eli could clearly sense that the population here was not as large as that of the Bryne Empire, and there should be some differences between the people here and the Bryne Empire. For example, the people here were generally taller, and their eyes were big. Their pupils were mainly blue, which made them look very exotic.

Of course, this was only what Eli had observed simply. If he really wanted to understand the differences between the two countries in detail, he would need to observe more closely, but he had no interest in that.

He was here for a public tour, not to check out the local customs.

Just like that, eli enjoyed the scenery along the way and arrived at their destination.

The capital of the Lorraine kingdom, Douling city.

This was a city that was no less magnificent than Jun Lin city. In fact, it was even more prosperous than Jun Lin city. Thanks to the food business, the Lorraine Kingdom's military might not be as strong as the Bryne Empire, but their wealth was not inferior, or even more.

This could be seen from the magnificence of the city walls. Whether it was the sniper cannons every few meters on the city walls or the armor of the soldiers that reflected the sunlight, it fully demonstrated the wealth of the country.

At the city gate, they were inspected as usual.

After the inspection, the carriage entered Duoling.

"Is this Duoling?" sitting in the carriage, eli looked outside.

At this time, the carriage was traveling on a very wide road. The road was paved with stone bricks, and the width was enough to accommodate ten carriages running at the same time.

On both sides were shops, all of which were three stories or above. This was something that couldn't be seen in jun Lin because the houses in jun lin were usually two stories high. Of course, this was just a difference in habits.

Perhaps it was because it was afternoon, but there were many people on the road. Most of the men were wearing gray clothes, while most of the women were wearing purple and red clothes, revealing their arms and legs. They even had jewelry on their heads, which made them look very sexy.

This made many of the casual soldiers' eyes pop out of their sockets. In Junlin, there were very few women who would dress so sexily outside. If you revealed too much, you would even be arrested by the guards.

But Duoling was different. Women had a higher status. historical

Of course, this wasn't without reason. This was because the current Supreme Leader of the Lorraine Kingdom, Queen Cynthia, was a woman.

As Eli observed the people, there were naturally people observing the convoy.

"Is this the symbol of the Bryne empire?" On the way, a man asked an old man beside him.

"I think so. the symbol of the Bryne empire is the black dragon. Look at the carriage in the front row. It has the black dragon symbol! " The old man pointed at the convoy at the front.

" I wonder what they're doing in our country? "

"Who knows? That's a matter between the nobles and the Queen. What does it have to do with us? " The old man said without a care.

"Well, that's true. It has nothing to do with us!" The man was stunned. However, it seemed to be the case after some thought.

Even if something did happen, it would have nothing to do with him.

The man observed the convoy for a while longer before he turned around and left.

...

On the other side, the convoy had also arrived at their destination under the guidance of the people from the Lorraine Kingdom.

It was a hotel that was dedicated to receiving outsiders.

When Eli walked into the inn, he looked at the compact tiles on the floor, the chandeliers that were worth at least dozens of gold tarls hanging in the hall, and the portraits hanging on the walls.

It was only then that eli truly realized that the Lorraine kingdom was truly rich!

"Eli, let's go to our room first!" beside him, scholar clement patted Eli's shoulder and motioned for him to follow him.

The two of them followed a waiter who was waiting for them and soon arrived at their room.

The room was also very luxurious. The bed was covered in goose down, the bedding was smooth, and the furniture was made of mahogany. This made Clement a little stunned.

"Teacher," Eli patted Clement on the shoulder.

"Um." Scholar Clement recovered and said slowly, "It seems that the alliance this time is not as simple as it seems?"

??

Eli frowned. What did this hotel have to do with the alliance?

"Teacher, is there a problem?" It was always Eli's habit to ask if he didn't understand.

Scholar Clement looked over and said slowly, " I've been to Duoling before, and we stayed in this very hotel, but that was 30 years ago. I came here with my teacher.

"However, the king back then was not the current queen of Cynthia, but king Harriman. Back then, this place was very simple, with only a bed and simple furniture, but it was also very crude. But now, just look at this hotel, and it's so luxurious. What do you think this means?"

When he said the last sentence, scholar Clement looked at Eli and said worriedly, "To be able to develop the country to such a great extent in such a short period of time, it seems like this Queen Cynthia isn't a simple character. Will she really agree to an alliance so easily? "

'Just that?' Eli thought it was something worse.

"But teacher, what does this have to do with us? The negotiation should have nothing to do with us, right?" Eli said with a strange expression.

Scholar Clement, "..."

The tour was only a front, but the purpose of the Bryne Empire was still to seek an alliance.

Of course, this was definitely not something that could be done in a day or two. Even if it was just a rough estimate, Eli estimated that it would take more than a few months. By the time he returned, the learner's test should have already ended.

If nothing went wrong, Herman would become a learner by then, and so would Rias. After all, even though she had decided to inherit part of the family fortune, she would never give up her identity as a scholar, which was a great bonus.

Only the pitiful eli was still an ordinary librarian.

Therefore, he decided to take a break and go out to find a channel for herbs. This way, his trip would not be in vain.

However, this plan was destroyed by marquis Alina at the very beginning.

Out of consideration for the safety of the environment, except for a few people, everyone had to stay in the hotel for three days. They could only leave after that.

With no other choice, Eli could only stay in the same room as scholar Clement for three days.

Each room had two bedrooms.

Every day, Eli would stay in his room and think about some problems. Although scholar Clement could not go out either, he would hang out with the other scholars every day. During this period, he invited Eli, but he was rejected.

Finally, three days passed as Eli anxiously waited.

The sun had just come out that day when Eli jumped out of bed.

But it wasn't just him. Scholar Clement had also woken up early and even earlier than him.

"Eli, are you going out?" scholar clement asked eli as he tidied up the suit he had specially bought for going out.

"Yes, I'm planning to go out and see the difference between Duoling and Jun Lin." Eli replied with a smile.

"Be careful. There are many mercenaries in Duoling. Be careful and run to a place with more people if you're in danger." Scholar Clement reminded.

"Yes, I understand." Eli nodded.

Then, he watched as scholar Clement tidied up his clothes, took out some perfume from his pocket, and sprayed it on himself. "teacher, are you going to meet a beautiful lady? "

"What nonsense!" Scholar Clement glared at Eli and said, "Don't you know Duoling's other name, the perfume city? Perfume is very important in this city."

"Of course, I know. I was just joking? " smiling, eli also took out the perfume he had prepared from his pocket and simply sprayed some on.

It hadn't been long since Duoling was called the perfume city, probably around 20 years ago. It started because Queen Cynthia loved perfume. In order to please the Queen, more and more new perfumes were developed. Slowly, Duoling became known as the perfume city.

Therefore, there was no shortage of perfume stores in Duoling. There might not be any other stores every few dozen meters, but there were definitely many stores selling perfume.

In this country, everyone had a special feeling for perfume. It was also a custom to wear some perfume when going out. They were doing as the Romans did.

"Teacher, where are you planning to go today?" After making a joke to liven up the atmosphere, Eli continued to ask.

"I'm going to visit some old friends. If you're willing, you can come with me, but I'm sure you'll reject me, so I didn't tell you." scholar clement shot him a glance.

After more than eight years together, eli knew clement very well, and clement also knew eli very well.

Eli didn't answer and only smiled. As expected of his teacher.

"Let's leave together."

The two of them finished packing at almost the same time and walked out together.

Along the way, clement chatted with eli. Just as they reached the hall, they saw a group of people walking over.

Leading them was marquis Alina, followed by a few earls and a professional diplomat.

At this time, the nobles were all dressed up, and with the addition of the diplomat, it was needless to say that they were going to the palace for their first meeting.

When he saw that it was marquis Alina and the others, scholar clement subconsciously pulled eli aside to make way. After all, they weren't familiar with each other. However, something that he didn't expect happened. Marquis Alina actually greeted him. "good morning, scholar clement!"

Clement was instantly stunned.

He did not expect that marquis Alina would take the initiative to greet him.

"Good morning, Lord Marquis." scholar clement stammered and replied.

"Good morning, Lord Marquis," Eli replied respectfully.

"Yes, we still have things to do, so we'll be leaving first." The Marquis said casually. He nodded and walked out.

The counts behind him also looked at scholar Clement with strange expressions.

Although it was a simple greeting, everyone could tell that marquis Alina was definitely related to this scholar clement. Otherwise, the marquis would not have stopped to say good morning.

'It seems that this scholar is not simple.' the few of them silently remembered this and left with the Marquis.

"Eli, did you see that? This is my academic status. " after the marquis and the others left, although scholar clement was still a little confused, he still smiled and spoke to eli.

"Of course, it seems that your reputation has already spread to the upper levels!" Said Eli with a smile as he cast a glance at the Marquis who was leaving.

Needless to say, this was the Marquis' kind gesture. As for who he was talking to, it was obvious to Eli. After all, Eli's teacher was present, and he couldn't just greet him directly, as that was not in line with the etiquette of the nobles.

He couldn't possibly say hello to Eli. After all, the fact that Eli had saved the Marquis was a secret, so he could only say hello to scholar Clement.

"Hahaha!" upon hearing Eli's flattery, clement's face bloomed with joy. He took out a money bag from his clothes and took out a dozen silver tarls, handing them to eli.

"Take it and spend it. I'm in a good mood today."

"Okay, teacher." Eli took the silver tarts from scholar Clement with a smile.

It would be a waste not to take free money.

After putting silver tarl into his wallet, eli and scholar Clement parted ways at the entrance of the hotel.

Clement headed in one direction while eli headed toward a carriage.

"Sir, would you like to rent a carriage?" before the carriage, the man bent down and asked eli.

" yes, I need a carriage that is as comfortable as possible. I will rent it for a week. How much would it cost? " Eli stated his request.

The upcoming negotiations would have nothing to do with him, so he decided to hire a carriage to take him around Duoling.

Upon hearing the request, the man quickly found a carriage that met Eli's requirements. The horse was a maroon-colored horse, and the carriage was relatively exquisite, very much in line with Eli's requirements.

"This one." Eli was very satisfied.

"Five silver tars in total." The man said with a smile.

"Sure!" eli nodded. Without haggling, he immediately took out five silver tarls.

After paying, the man quickly called the coachman over. He was a middle-aged man who looked a little old.

"Let's go!" Eli also got into the carriage.

"Sir, where are we going?" The driver's voice was very muffled.

"Um, the most fun place."

"Let's go to Camellia Lane, then. The most beautiful women in Duoling are there." The coachman thought for a moment and said. Then, the carriage began to move slowly.

'Camellia lane?'

At this moment, Eli blinked his eyes in the carriage. historical

'Does he mean...'

However, since the carriage had already started moving, it would definitely be troublesome to turn around. It was better not to make things difficult for the coachman.

He was too kind.

58 Hijacked?

In the afternoon, Eli walked out of the street, satisfied.

He turned around and saw that it was a rather wide street. On both sides of the street were three-story buildings. Red and purple silk were hung on the buildings, and sexy girls stood at the entrance of the buildings.

"As expected, the place is still a little different from Bryne. They both have their own unique characteristics. " Eli stretched his back. It wasn't even noon when he went in, but it was already afternoon when he came out. Eli was proud of himself.

"Sir, you've come out." at this moment, the coachman who had been waiting outside the alley saw that it was eli and quickly came over.

'This gentleman's physical strength is really good. He has been here for more than half a day!'

"Sir, where are we going next?" the coachman asked.

" Well, next, we'll go to the casino here to make up for the money we spent. " Eli thought for a moment. He had been busy spending a lot of money today, so he had to replenish his funds.

"Alright, Sir, please get in." The coachman immediately brought Eli to the front of the previous carriage and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

Eli went up directly.

" Please sit tight. I'll check the carriage, and then we'll leave. "

In order to avoid any accidents, every time the carriage started, the coachmen would check to see if the carriage was in good condition. After all, someone would really dismantle the carriage's parts to exchange for money. If an accident happened, it would be troublesome.

The coachman circled around the carriage while eli was sitting leisurely in the carriage.

He could clearly sense the situation around the carriage with his spiritual power. The coachman was checking the back of the carriage. A figure was hiding in the corner of the alley and seemed to be watching the carriage!

"Oh? " Eli raised an eyebrow.

It should be a coincidence, but looking at that posture, curled up in the corner, holding his head, it looked more like he was hiding from something!

"Damn it, sir, a small part of the wheel has been stolen. I need to fix it. " At this time, the driver's cursing came from behind the carriage. He needed to go to the toilet earlier and left the carriage unwatched. A theft did happen.

In fact, this was a rare situation because most guests wouldn't stay in one place for too long, but he didn't expect that eli would be here for so long.

What else could Eli say other than yes? But his attention was on the man in the corner.

He did not move, but he seemed to be afraid of something. His muscles were in a tense state, and from the strength of his aura, he should be a low-level knight.

Eli guessed that he was probably hiding from someone.

"Find him. We must catch him today!"

Suddenly, a few burly men ran out of Camellia Street and searched around.

On the other hand, eli could clearly sense that the man's aura of fear was even more obvious.

Did the man eat without pay? Or was this revenge? Eli didn't know, and he didn't want to know. He just hoped that the man wouldn't drag him into this.

There were about seven or eight strong men, but the weakest of them was an intermediate Knight. They were exploring the street in this direction. If there were no accidents, they would be able to find the man soon.

The coachman was carefully repairing the car at the back. Suddenly, the man seemed to have made up his mind. While most of the knights on the other side had entered another alley, he rushed directly toward eli.

It was a short seven to eight meters, which only took a few seconds.

The coachman didn't notice that the man had already slipped into Eli's car.

A cold light suddenly appeared.

"Take me away!"

The sharp dagger was pointed at Eli, and the shadow of the dagger swayed inside the carriage under the candlelight.

"Alright!" Eli nodded.

It was only then that he saw the man clearly. No, it would be more appropriate to say that he was a boy. He was about 19 years old and looked a little young. He had brown hair and black eyes. Although he looked calm on the outside, Eli's senses told him that the child was very frightened.

Whether it was his rapidly beating heart, his tensed muscles, or his slightly trembling dagger, all of them spoke of his nervousness.

"Sir, the carriage is fixed. We can leave now." at this moment, the coachman had also finished repairing the carriage.

"Tell the coachman to bring us away!" the boy said again, still holding the dagger in his hand.

Eli smiled and nodded. Although Wizards were not good at strength, due to the increase in mental strength, his physical fitness was not much weaker than that of a low-ranked Knight.

At this distance, his safety could be completely guaranteed.

"Then let's go," Eli said calmly.

This made the boy a little less confident.

Wasn't he trying to hijack the car? Why wasn't there any panic in the eyes of the man in front of her?

However, when the carriage started moving, the boy seemed to be much more relaxed.

"What are you afraid of?" suddenly, a voice was heard. The boy saw that it was actually the kidnapped eli. The boy was speechless. historical

'Is this something you should be asking? Can't you have a little self-awareness that you're being held hostage?

'You're just an ordinary person. How can you be so brave?'

"Shut up and keep quiet!" the boy glared at eli and said in a low voice.

"Oh, I see. You're probably being hunted down. Let me guess, are those people your enemies or hired to kill you? You're so young, so you're probably not a Big Shot. You should be the descendant of a great noble or a merchant with status."

What the boy didn't expect was that Eli actually started analyzing.

"If you're a descendant of a noble, you don't look like one. You don't have the habit of a noble, and your skin is very fair. You probably don't go out often. You look more like my friend from the chamber of commerce.

"Are you a descendant of some big merchant association, and you're being hunted?" As if it was something fun, Eli analyzed the situation.

However, it was only a guess.

"Who are you?"

What Eli didn't know was at this moment, a storm was already brewing in the boy's heart. Although Eli's analysis was strange, he didn't get much wrong.

"I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense." The boy felt a little nervous for some reason, and the dagger in his hand unconsciously moved closer to Eli as if it would give him a greater sense of security.

He extended his dagger.

He saw the man, in front of him, smile at him. Suddenly, he felt a little dizzy. His head was dizzy, and his vision was a little blurry. At the same time, he felt as if he had lost something.

It didn't take long, only a few seconds.

However, the next time he woke up, he found that the dagger in his hand had already moved from his hand to his neck.

The man in front of him, who was eli, stared at the boy, one hand holding a dagger to his neck as he said politely, "Sir, if you don't explain why you got into my car without permission, you'll die!"

He could feel the coldness of the dagger on his neck and face the polite smile of eli.

The boy's back was instantly drenched in sweat.

He seemed to have just left a wolf's den and entered a tiger's den.

Report chapter Comments

59 The Deal

The boy's throat moved slightly, and cold sweat dripped from his forehead.

What just happened?

In just a moment, before he could even react, the dagger had already disappeared from his hand. In the blink of an eye, he turned from a criminal to a hostage as if it was a dream.

However, the coldness of the dagger told him that it was not a dream.

Everything was real.

"Tell me, who are you? Why did you barge in here?" Eli was smiling like a gentleman.

"I ran out because I didn't pay at camellia lane, and then they sent people to chase me." the boy's voice trembled. He knew that at this distance, even if the man in front of him was an ordinary person, he could easily kill him.

"No, you're lying!" Eli shook his head, and stars appeared in his eyes. He glanced at the boy and said, "no, other than your trembling muscles and unnatural facial expressions, if I'm not wrong, your body is very clean. You're a virgin. "

With just one look, the boy felt as if he had been seen through from head to toe.

The first half of the sentence chilled his heart, and the second half made him widen his eyes. Even though a sharp dagger was placed on his neck, he still gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'm sorry for lying to you. But I'll just say this. I'm not a virgin."

"Ha!" The voice was low but extremely insulting. "tell me about your situation. my patience is limited."

The carriage was moving along the streets in the evening.

The boy glanced at Eli. Although he didn't know why, he could tell that Eli wasn't lying to him, so he slowly said, "My real name is Aria Kazan, and my father is the owner of the Kazan Chamber of Commerce."

"Kazan chamber of commerce? it sounds a little familiar." Eli frowned, feeling as if he had heard this name before.

"The Kazan chamber of commerce is the largest chamber of commerce in the Lorraine kingdom. Its herb and perfume business is the largest in the kingdom." Aria reminded.

"You're the son of the owner of the Kazan Chamber of Commerce. Then why are you being hunted down? Don't tell me your father doesn't know?" it was strange, but from Aria's expression, he was not lying.

"That's because my father died, and my uncle joseph secretly used his former power to obtain the support of two-thirds of the people in the chamber of commerce and took over the chamber of commerce. " aria said through gritted teeth.

"Then why did he still want to kill you when you didn't have the ability to resist? " Eli was a little curious.

"Because my father left the title deed to the chamber of commerce to me. That's why he wants to capture me. " knowing his situation, Aria did not dare to lie.

"Let me go. If I take back my rights to the Chamber of Commerce, I will definitely repay you." Aria was agitated as he looked at Eli with a sincere gaze.

"You think you still have a chance?" His sharp mind allowed him to quickly analyze the situation, but he didn't think Aria Kazan could take back the Chamber of Commerce.

On one side was a large Chamber of Commerce with many people, and on the other side was Aria Kazan, who was alone.

No matter how he looked at it, it didn't seem reliable.

In fact, when he heard that Aria was the son of the owner of the Kazan chamber of commerce, he was a little surprised because the Kazan chamber of commerce could solve the purpose of his visit.

However, he immediately understood that he had just met an abandoned child.

This time, Aria was silent.

If he could really take back the chamber of commerce, he wouldn't have been chased so badly. If it wasn't for the carriage that suddenly came, he might have been caught.

A few seconds later, he said, "Actually, I still have a chance. As long as I can get the support of the major nobles behind the chamber of commerce, I can take it back. Not all members are traitors. There are people I can trust. "

Every large chamber of commerce had nobles behind them, and it was because of their support that the chamber of commerce could operate better.

" But why do you think that the great nobles behind the chamber of commerce will support you? To them, I think it makes no difference whether you or Joseph is the leader of the chamber." Eli shook his head. Aria in front of him was as innocent as a child.

"No, the aristocrat behind the Kazan Chamber of Commerce is different. She is a real top aristocrat. She doesn't care how much profit the Kazan Chamber of Commerce can bring her. In fact, the only reason why the Kazan Chamber of Commerce can get her support is because of our perfume production. The Chamber of Commerce has the best perfume in the Empire.

"She's a perfume fanatic, and as long as I can come up with a better perfume, I can get her support." Aria hesitated for a moment and then said more.

"Perfume fanatic?" eli raised an eyebrow.

This world was getting more and more ridiculous.

But it was also normal. If she didn't care who provided her with benefits and only wanted the perfume, then it seemed that if Aria Kazan could come up with a better perfume, he could really get the support of this noble. historical

The way Eli looked at him suddenly changed.

If that was the case, Aria Kazan had great potential value!

He wanted to invest in this project.

"Do you have a better perfume?" Eli asked with concern, his dagger still on Aria's neck.

"No, I don't," Aria was really silent this time.

Eli, "..."

As expected, he shouldn't have trusted this kid.

However, if he could help Aria Kazan obtain the chamber of commerce, then many of Eli's problems could be easily solved, whether it was his material problems or Roland's.

He didn't know how to make perfume, but it was possible if he used his Wizard Power.

"Sir, I'm really sorry. If you're willing to let me go, I'll take back the Chamber of Commerce in the future. I'll definitely..." Aria's eyes were sincere as he pleaded. He was really afraid that Eli would kill him with a knife.

"Of course." What Aria didn't expect was that this time, eli actually smiled and said.

Aria's eyes widened, and he was about to thank him.

"There's no need to thank me so quickly. How about this? I want to talk business with you." Eli looked at Aria, his gaze softening.

"What business?" Aria was a little shocked.

"I can provide you with better perfume to help you take back the chamber of commerce. However, according to the principle of equivalent exchange, you have to pay me back something. " Eli said with a smile.

Aria was completely confused.

"A better perfume?"

If it weren't for the dagger on Aria's neck, he would have laughed out loud. The Kazan chamber of commerce made its fortune with perfume, but the man in front of him said he could produce a better perfume. Was this a joke?

"Yes," Eli nodded again.

Aria wanted to reject him, but looking into Eli's eyes, Aria felt an inexplicable attraction, as if he wanted to agree with him subconsciously.

He was already in this state, what else could he lose?

What if Eli really succeeded?

"Alright!" Aria nodded.

"Then what do you want in return?" Aria asked.

"You'll know when the time comes." eli smiled but did not reply this time.

"I'll come and find you in three days. " Eli patted Aria's shoulder and handed him the dagger. "I've arrived. You should leave."

The carriage had already arrived at the casino. Eli patted Aria's shoulder and got off the carriage.

Aria looked at the dagger in his hand and was stunned.

He took the opportunity to run out of the carriage when the coachman stopped the carriage at the back. He ran in another direction, determined the direction, and decided to find his aunt, whom he believed in.

However, he suddenly stopped on the way.

"He didn't tell me where to meet in three days, did he?"

On the way, Aria blinked and felt that he had met a strange person.

60 Perfume

Time always flew by, and by the time Eli came out of the casino, it was already night.

"This is a really good place."

Eli came out of the casino and stretched.

Behind him was a magnificent three-story building with a long red carpet in front of it. There were only a few people who were poor. This was the biggest casino in Duoling.

Duoling's business was indeed better than Bryne's. Elin had seen many new ways of gambling.

Eli had also collected more than thirty gold tarls.

However, Eli didn't cheat. He was just playing normally, and this amount wasn't considered too big here, so no one would cause him trouble.

"Sir, you've come out." The coachman was waiting beside the carriage in boredom. When he saw Eli, he immediately came over.

A golden Tarl was thrown over, and it streaked across the sky. historical

The coachman's eyes were wide open. He caught the gold coin with the most agile movement in his life. Feeling the dense touch of the golden tars, the coachman felt like he was about to fly.

"Sir, this is?" However, he still asked.

"Let's go." Eli walked up the carriage with a smile.

"You are the most generous gentleman I have ever met. as long as you are in Duoling, I will always be at your service. " The coachman was completely won over by Eli. This was the biggest reward he had ever received in his life.

He quickly got into the carriage and asked, "Sir, where are we going now?"

Now, even if eli asked him to go to the palace, he would still dare to go with him.

"Back to the hotel." A voice came from the carriage.

"Alright, sit tight!" The coachman was no longer in a tired state. He sat up straight and drove the carriage.

The horse let out a low neigh and then carried the two away.

...

The main purpose of the day was to relax, other than meeting Aria, which was a small accident.

However, Eli didn't mind the chance encounter. After all, his investment wasn't high, but if he succeeded, the benefits would be huge. It was so huge that not only could Eli solve his economic problems completely, but he could also solve the medicinal materials and Roland's problems.

He had even used a portion of his spiritual power to guide the conversation, which allowed the two to carry on smoothly.

"Tomorrow, I'll find a way to solve the perfume problem."

After thinking about what he had to do tomorrow, Eli fell asleep.

...

The next day, before he left, he received a message.

The first round of negotiations had failed.

It seemed like Queen Cynthia felt that there was no point in forming an alliance, so she rejected the request of the Bryne Empire during the first round of negotiations.

This caused the entire convoy to feel a little defeated.

However, even though the start was not smooth, Marquis Alina's side did not give up. The second round of negotiations would take place in three days, and there might be new developments then.

Of course, the diplomatic team's defeat did not affect Eli much.

On this day, Eli was still in the same carriage as yesterday, but he didn't go anywhere else. Instead, he had the coachman take him to another place.

"Sir, this is the local perfume workshop. Are you sure you want to come here? " the coachman brought eli to a street along the river.

It was built along a river in the city, but the nearby area was dyed in various colors. Houses stood on the streets, emitting various smells.

"Yes, I am." Eli got off his horse, and an invisible wind immediately dispelled the smell near his nose.

As Duoling's largest perfume production base, it was best to wear a mask or something if you were not working here all year round. Otherwise, the smell would make you uncomfortable.

And he was there to make perfume.

He first had to rent a place to conduct his experiment.

"Sir, this place belongs to private families. If you want to rent it, it may be difficult. " Eli had already told the coachman his purpose when he came.

"Is that so?" Eli just shot him a glance.

...

Half an hour later, in front of a building.

"Sir, don't worry. This place will be yours for the next three days. I'll leave with my family now. You can also order the workers here as you wish."

In front of a small perfume workshop, a middle-aged man was bending over and smiling. Behind him was a woman in linen clothes, holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in her arms.

She was still young and didn't seem to understand why her father had pulled them away with their luggage after the handsome brother in front of her had taken out thirty gold tarls.

"Well, Sir, we'll take our leave first. You can do whatever you want with the rest." With that said, the man quickly pulled his family away as if afraid that Eli would go back on his word.

Behind them, the coachman's mouth twitched as he looked at the few of them who were running for their lives.

What just happened?

...

"Help me buy some things now." as he watched the original owner of the perfume workshop leave, eli turned to the coachman behind him.

"Yes, sir." the coachman naturally wouldn't refuse.

Following that, eli handed the coachman a list and sufficient money to make the purchase for him. Then, he turned around and entered the room.

Although it was just a small workshop, it already had the ability to produce perfume. Moreover, this was the capital of perfume. Even if it were just a small workshop, the perfume produced here would not be too bad.

Sure enough, the worker in the workshop handed a newly made perfume to Eli.

Eli smelled the fragrance of the perfume and nodded. With such a quality as the base, it should be enough to match his magic potion.

That's right, Eli had no intention of making perfume from the start. After all, even though he had a strong learning ability, how could he possibly make a top-class perfume in three days?

That was unreasonable and impossible.

Eli's plan was to mix a small amount of charm potion with the basis of the existing perfume and then get a smell that had a special attraction but also an original fragrance.

Of course, this wasn't easy. The difficulty lay in the ratio of the potion and perfume, but it was much easier than making perfume from scratch.

Three days should be enough.

Half an hour later, the coachman delivered the materials. This surprised Eli a little, as he didn't expect the coachman to be so fast.

"I'll go back tonight. You can come here then. You can go somewhere else now. " Eli said to the coachman as he took the materials.

"Sir, you've paid. I'll just wait here." The coachman said with a smile.

"Alright," he said.

Eli didn't refuse and directly entered the workshop with the materials.

Two days later, in the studio, Eli looked at the freshly prepared perfume on the table and smiled in satisfaction.

The perfume was a success.
