Gao Wen and Amber went to inspect and accept the hundred or so future "intelligence elites". An 'Ancient Magister'?"
Gawain nodded: "His name is Kamel, you will see him soon."
Amber rolled her eyes, she didn't know what to think, and suddenly said: "Did you dig people out from the ruins in the mountain?"
"... It can't be said that it was dug out," Gao Wen felt that the half-elf's choice of words was a bit subtle, "he was trapped in a different space..."
"That's what was dug out." Amber said logically, and then began to look Gao Wen up and down, making goosebumps all over his body when he saw the latter: "What do you mean by that look?"
"There's another coffin uncovered in the territory!" The half-elf lady slapped her hands, "Did you decide to dig someone older than yourself because you are the only ancient person in the territory and feel that there is a generation gap with everyone? But don't you two also have a generation gap?"
Gao Wen suddenly felt that the knock on this guy just now was a little light...
However, Amber's twists and turns of thinking and her smacking mouth did not last a day or two. Gao Wen has already developed a good immunity. As long as she ignores this guy, she will soon calm down .
But this time, Amber's baba seemed to be stronger than usual. Even if Gao Wen ignored her, she kept opening new topics beside her. She glanced at her: "Why do you talk so much this time?"
"Is there?" Amber was taken aback for a moment, then shook her head, "I don't think so!"
"You're a little nervous." Gawain looked at this guy helplessly. "When you're nervous, you talk a lot of nonsense, and you don't even feel it."
After being reminded by Gao Wen, Amber realized that she had inadvertently exposed her emotional changes. After lamenting why a knight should be so sensitive, she finally nodded in embarrassment: "To be honest... a bit, but I Not nervous yourself."
In fact, Gao Wen had vaguely guessed what Amber was thinking: "Is it because of those people you brought?"
"Basically..." Amber smiled dryly, "I just want to say... those guys are bastards who grew up in the gutter, bastards, liars, and thieves were their main roles in the past, although they swore before they came Rules, but I know what they're up to... I hope you're prepared and don't get pissed off by their vulgarity. Those... are actually a pretty good bunch."
Gao Wen stopped in his tracks, looked at Amber with a half-smile, until the other party turned his head away in embarrassment, he smiled and said, "It's rare that you speak so cautiously and excuse others in advance."
"It's been many years since I had a fateful relationship with them," Amber curled her lips, "I wanted to take this opportunity to give them a hand, but I really don't feel at ease about their seriousness."
Gao Wen shook his head with a smile, and suddenly brought up a seemingly irrelevant topic: "You know the Royal Shadow Guard who is loyal to the Ansu royal family, right?"
Amber was stunned for a moment, then nodded suddenly: "I know, I know, last time we went to the capital, I met a Royal Shadow Guard who was kicked out of the Shadow Realm by me and almost fainted into a grandson, right?"
Gao Wen: "...you don't have to worry about that one accidental record. If you were to face the shadow guard at that time, ten of you would not be enough for him to deal with. The royal shadow guards were trained by the Ansu royal family. The most powerful stalkers and intelligence personnel, from the beginning of the Ansu Kingdom, they were responsible for secretly defending the kingdom, and at the same time collecting various intelligence for the king. And I was one of the original trainers of the Royal Shadow Guard. "
"I seem to remember you said that too," Amber frowned and tried to recall, "Oh, you taught them two-handed swordsmanship and physical training..."
Gao Wen was choked again. It was not a good feeling to be choked back when he was trying to show his B character, but he still bite the bullet and continued: "... I did teach them these two things, but besides these , I also participated in formulating a complete training process for the Royal Shadow Guards."
Amber finally understood what Gao Wen meant, but her face was full of astonishment: "Could it be... you want to train those worthless guys according to the standard of training the royal shadow guards?"
Before Gao Wen could answer, she waved her hands vigorously: "Don't be joking, I don't know how much those guys weigh? What are they capable of other than cheating and a few deceiving tricks? Training It’s enough to be an ordinary soldier, not to mention the elite.”
"They don't need too much force, and I don't expect to train them completely according to the standards of the Royal Shadow Guards." Gao Wen smiled and shook his head, "The Royal Shadow Guards are different from the intelligence personnel I require. I don't need a group of elite fighters... intelligence gathering, covert contact, identity disguise, use of espionage tools, they have a lot to learn as ordinary people. You should have some confidence in them."
"I don't know what you're thinking," Amber looked at the confident Gao Wen, and couldn't help scratching her hair, "But you always have a lot of ideas, I just believe you'll be fine this time."
At the same time, in the magic laboratory located in the southern part of the territory, Hetty and Rebecca, who was brought in by her as an assistant, were lowering their heads and testing a strange "stone".
They opened up a large open space in the center of the magic laboratory. On the ground, a "portable honeycomb magic net" spliced with rune substrates, which is easy to disassemble and move, was laid. A red copper substrate used to transmit magic power. These three substrates are arranged in a zigzag shape, and in the center of them is a "stone" tens of centimeters high and roughly in the shape of an obelisk.
The surface of the "stone" has a deep purple luster, and its texture is between crystal and metal. It is the original hom stone that has been purified and recast.
In order to purify this peculiar magical material, Hetty and Hammer of the metal smelting factory spent a lot of thought. As the temperature continues to rise, these rough stones will only fall apart and eventually turn into useless powder like sand. Although Nicholas Egg successfully overcomes the symptoms of "allergic cold" to the rough Holm stones, his metal manipulation ability has an effect on these ores. It didn't work, but it was a seemingly inadvertent wrong operation that finally solved the purification problem.
Hetty accidentally poured the acid solution used for the experiment into the container containing the original sample, but found that the ore, which does not allow oil and salt, would be dissolved by the acid solution, and the useless components in the ore reacted with the acid It becomes a residue that can be filtered out, and the acid itself finally becomes a smeltable powder after a series of subsequent reactions, replacements, and purifications. After a series of melting and casting of these ore powders Only then did Heti get the first pure Holm crystal.
Confirming that the precious Holm crystal has been stably connected to the magic net, Hetty turned to look at Rebecca who was standing next to a magic circle in the corner of the room: "Can you sense the magic field over there?"
Rebecca glanced at the induction crystal in the center of the magic circle, the crystal was emitting a faint light, and three of the dozen or so runes around the crystal lit up: "Yes, yes! But the intensity is still very low..."
Hetty frowned slightly, looking at the Holm crystal connected to the magic net: "Well... after purification, it becomes easy to release the magic field, and it can work just by connecting with the most basic magic net unit , which shows that the purification is indeed effective, but the strength of the magic field has not changed much... Is the upper limit of the magic field released by this thing so big?"
Rebecca said while recalling: "I remember that when you injected an extra amount of magic power into the crystal just now, the strength of the magic field increased for a moment..."
Hetty frowned: "Is there? Why didn't I feel it?"
Rebecca was a little unconfident: "That's probably because I misunderstood..."
"No, we can try." Hetty is a person who will not let go of any details. Hearing Rebecca's mention, she immediately picked up her staff and put the front end of the staff close to the piece on the ground. The purified Hom crystal then released the simplest infusion spell, "Do you see any changes in the induction crystal?"
"It does seem to be lit up..."
"What is 'as if'?" Hetty glared at Rebecca, "How many times have I said that magic experiments are very rigorous, and words like 'like' and 'probably' cannot be used! Let's try again!"
Hetty and Rebecca were busy testing the purified Holm crystal, while in the Rune Research Institute, which was far away from the magic laboratory, Kamel was very devoted to studying the "textbook" that Jenny brought out.
This ancient magister from a thousand years ago eagerly absorbed all the useful knowledge of this era, no matter whether the knowledge came from a learned scholar or a small fourth-level rune master, as long as it was useful, he would He is willing to learn. Although he felt quite disdainful when he first learned that a little girl who is not even a junior mage is leading the rune research in the territory, but after seeing the rune logic materials that Jenny brought out, this An ancient scholar who loved to study was deeply impressed by this novel theory.
Jenny, on the other hand, looked at the great magister with an incredible form in front of her with mixed emotions of awe and joy. When she saw Kamel for the first time, she was taken aback, but after knowing the identity of the other party She even fell into tension and anxiety. Although she has adapted to the relaxed and respectable new life led by Cecil, the coercion from the senior magician continued to weigh on her heart. Among them, the powerful great magicians are arrogant, cold and terrifying. These powerful spellcasters will not only dismiss the weak like themselves, but also regard their own research results as deviant. So, how proud and elusive should an ancient magister who has lived from a thousand years ago to today be
She was ready to face Kamel's wrath, and was ready to uphold the dignity of rune logic in this situation, but she did not expect that the ancient magister saw rune logic After that, he didn't get angry at all, but showed great research interest.
This made her very happy. It turns out that the great magicians or magisters are not all so unreasonable.
Kamel lowered his head for a long time, and didn't raise his head until after reading the discussion about the interference knot. He seemed to want to say something, but before he spoke, his body suddenly trembled slightly, and then he made a suspicious voice: "Um?"
Jenny suddenly became nervous: "Master Kamel, what's wrong with you?"
The arcane flow of light on Kamel's body gradually stabilized: "I don't know... I suddenly itch."
In the magic laboratory far away from the Rune Research Institute, Hetty put the staff on the top of the Holme crystal again, and while preparing to release the magic, she told Rebecca: "Be careful this time, and you must count clearly." How many runes are lit up!"
After the words fell, a small ball of white light erupted from the front of Hetty's staff, and the Holme crystal shone slightly.
In the Rune Research Institute, just as Kamel manipulated the Evocation Hand to put down the information in front of him, his body trembled again.
Jenny became nervous again: "Master Kamel?"
"... I don't know what's going on, I itch again..."
