The next morning, when the sun rose joyfully—forgive the meaningless analogy. Because when Du Wei was enjoying his sunny breakfast, someone came to see him.
That's the... trickster magician, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
After everyone thought that Du Wei was hijacked away, Solskjaer was under tremendous pressure... He was the only magician around Du Wei! But there was no trace of fighting on his body!
Everyone was injured, but he was intact!
Solskjaer is under a lot of pressure from his peers.
To be honest... he also felt that he was so scared and fainted by the opponent's title of eighth-level magician that he hadn't started the fight that day... it was a bit embarrassing.
But isn't it? You let a first-level magician (whose qualifications are still cheated) go to a head-to-head duel with an eighth-level magician.
That's not dueling... it's murder!
"Oh, my little master, I'm so happy to see you come back intact..." As soon as he entered the study door, Solskjaer immediately piled up a smiling face.
boom!
It was Du Wei's kick that answered him.
Du Wei kicked the magician to the ground with one kick, then looked at him, squinted his eyes, and laughed in a low voice: "My dear Solskjaer... I am not so happy to see you."
Solskjaer got up and raised his hat in embarrassment: "...my little master..."
"Thinking of your appearance that day, I really feel ashamed." Du Wei said with a black face: "My Mr. Magic Advisor, you actually passed out straight up during the battle... You are more courageous than a rabbit." Small!"
That day, Solskjaer was the last person left beside Du Wei, but this shameless guy didn't show any effect at all, and just passed out! When it was, Du Wei was almost pissed off!
"My God! The other party is an eighth-level magician! Eighth level!! Master Du Wei!" Solskjaer was defending: "I am just a guy who has the qualifications of a first-level magician, and my real strength is no more than that of a magician. How much stronger is a magic apprentice! You understand this very well... Do you think I can resist that eighth-level magician?"
"Then you can't pass out. It's too embarrassing!" Du Wei shook his head: "As your employer, I'm really disappointed in you... By the way, where have you been these days?"
"I... took a few people, went to the south, and moved the things in my laboratory." Solskjaer's answer made Du Wei a little satisfied.
"You moved your laboratory here?" Du Wei was a little surprised: "Aren't you afraid that I won't come back? If there is no me, do you think this family will accept you?"
Solskjaer had no choice but to tell the truth... He came here after hearing that the young master of the Luo Lin family had been found.
"Oh, so it's like this... If I don't come back, then you plan to go away, right?" Du Wei looked at this cunning guy: "Take the "trophy" I threw at you that day? Right?"
Solskjaer was speechless.
"Okay, let's take out the things." Du Wei was referring to the things that were exploited from Vivienne.
Almost instinctively, Du Wei felt that he didn't want to hand over these "Vivien's things" to others, but just wanted to keep them for himself.
Solskjaer was a little anxious: "Master Duwei...you are not a magician, these things can only reflect their value in the hands of a magician..."
Don't want to pay
Du Wei snorted, glanced at the closed study door, then smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently summoned...
call!
On the several burning candles on both sides, several flames sprang up immediately, and these flames flew to Du Wei's palm, and instantly solidified into a fireball!
Solskjaer's eyes widened: "Magic? My God, you can use magic?!"
"Do you think I'm performing acrobatics? This is the method taught to me by an eighth-level magician!" Du Wei sneered: "Bring it here."
"Can I leave a magic crystal?" Solskjaer tentatively said: "Just a small piece... My experiment needs a good magic crystal to store fire elements..."
Du Wei didn't speak, just opened his palms.
Solskjaer had no choice but to hand over the bag and sighed deeply.
"Okay, don't sigh, my Mr. Magic Advisor." Du Wei got Vivienne's things, and he felt a little happier: "You will get what you want soon. I promise."
"A medium-grade magic crystal needs at least several hundred gold coins." Obviously, Solskjaer also knew about Du Wei's current situation. Du Wei was grounded and his pocket money order was suspended. Many people in the castle knew of.
"Don't worry, there will be gold coins, and they will be available soon." Du Wei is not worried about this.
The plan to rob the pirates is underway, and there will be a lot of income soon... And, don't forget, there is a secret room in the secret passage under the study, and there are many treasures left by Semel Woolen cloth.
"By the way, Solskjaer, come on, let me show you your new laboratory! It's in the woods outside the castle!"
When leaving the study, the old butler came to see Du Wei. Du Wei pointed to a pile of burnt ashes on the ground and said with a smile: "My dear Mr. Butler...I'm sorry, when I was reading a book last night, I didn't know what to say. Well, the painting fell off the wall and fell right on a candlestick... and it just burned. I suppose you'd let the servants clean it up, wouldn't you?"
The old butler stared blankly at a blank spot in the row of oil paintings on the wall, and then at the pile of ashes on the ground.
My goodness...that's an antique!
The word "prodigal son" turned in the old housekeeper's mind for a few times, but he dared not say it after all. He bit his lip lightly, and then reluctantly agreed.
Du Wei took Solskjaer out of the study carelessly and went to the woods next to the castle.
Deep in the woods, the wooden buildings beside the stream have been built.
The three-story wooden building looks very strong, and it is obviously made of high-quality materials.
"Are you satisfied? This will be the magic laboratory from now on... our magic laboratory!"
Walking into the first floor of the small building, here is a hall. Basic furniture, such as the large table that Du Wei specially requested can be used as a workbench, is already available. On the shelf next to it were a lot of glassware that Du Wei asked to order... various bottles and jars, and even a few crystal stones.
The second floor is a row of iron cabinets for storing various raw materials.
And the third floor is Du Wei's place. A spacious terrace was left for Du Wei to observe the astrology.
Du Wei even prepared to make an astronomical telescope by himself and put it here.
"Are you satisfied?" Du Wei looked at Solskjaer with a smile.
Solskjaer looked very happy: "Very good! Such a big place is enough for me to do a lot of experiments!"
Du Wei smiled and pulled him to the back of the small building, pointing to the plants on the ground in front of him.
These are some of the most basic materials in magic pharmacy... Of course, many magic materials cannot be bought by Du Wei, nor are there shops in towns, so they can only be purchased occasionally from those adventure teams. Or buy it from the Wizards Guild.
However, the Magician's Guild is not open to the outside world, and people without magician qualifications cannot buy anything from the Magician's Guild.
"I have prepared the most basic plants... As for the others, we can only buy them from the Magician's Union. You must come forward to buy this matter, and you know the rules of the Magician's Union. Money... Yes. , don’t worry, we will have money soon.”
Solskjaer silently looked at the things in front of him.
He is already very satisfied!
In the eyes of ordinary people, the magician's experiment is simply "burning money"!
Those precious materials are likely to be burned or destroyed without any value in a failed experiment.
In the past, Solskjaer didn't have that much money to buy these materials for testing. Many of his materials are "secretly accumulated" from his teacher in the past. In addition, he also needs to go out to work for the adventure team, work part-time to earn money, or get some magic cores of monsters.
Now that I have the promise of this little nobleman, I don't have to worry about money in the future, so I can open my heart and do the experiment I want to do!
Du Wei still has considerable expectations for Solskjaer.
This guy can actually develop a way to simulate magic... He really can be regarded as a genius! If this guy is allowed to continue his research, God knows what else he can research!
"Oh, by the way, let me see what you brought back from your laboratory in the South!"
Compared with Du Wei's laboratory, the things Solskjaer brought are much shabby.
The few bottles and jars he brought... half of them were fired clay, obviously the hard-pressed magician didn't have the extra money to buy those beautiful glassware.
In these jars, there are some magic elements extracted by Solskjaer... mainly fire elements.
That is what Solskjaer said, a "yellow powder" he extracted.
Du Wei is still most interested in this "fire element".
With Solskjaer's consent, he carefully opened a jar, and then he saw these "yellow powders"!
Seeing these things for the first time, and the familiar smell... Du Wei was stunned!
He couldn't help but gently stretched out two fingers to pinch a handful, then moved closer to smell it...
"This is the "fire element" you made?" Du Wei turned his head and looked at Solskjaer seriously.
"… Yes."
Resisting the excitement in his heart, Du Wei said slowly: "How fast can you refine this kind of thing?"
"Well, it depends on the raw material. The main material needed is fire scale powder, but it needs to be refined six times, and the refining process must be very careful, there must be no fire around... I was almost burned in an accident. die."
"What if I give you enough materials?"
Solskjaer thought about it, and he calculated: "I think, if there are enough materials, maybe three bottles can be made in one day."
three bottles
The bottle that Solskjaer was referring to was about the size of the beer bottle that Du Wei knew in his previous life.
Three bottles a day... the speed is not bad.
Du Wei suppressed a smile, and suddenly hugged Solskjaer hard: "My Mr. Magic Advisor... I am very satisfied with your fire element... I want to give you a salary increase! When I have money! Hahaha..."
After a pause, Du Wei whispered: "Listen, we must keep the formula of this fire element absolutely secret! Do you understand?"
"Of course!" Solskjaer replied quickly.
This laboratory is temporarily under Solskjaer's envoy. He left behind busy arranging the bottles and jars and crude tools he brought in the laboratory: several cauldrons, and some extraction pots and burning vessels and the like.
Du Wei walked out alone.
The two servants who followed behind him looked at the young master and kept laughing.
After Du Wei walked a long way, he finally couldn't control his mood and laughed out loud.
There was joy and surprise in his smile, as if an infinite gold coin fell out of nowhere and only fell into his pocket!
"Hahahaha... What fire element! It's clearly gunpowder! Haha, I actually have gunpowder!!"
