"How interesting..."

Looking at the mirror image in front of him, the white-robed wizard touched his chin and smiled strangely. Beside him, a woman in a red wizard robe rolled her eyes helplessly.

"Douglas, you've watched this video ten times. Aren't you tired of it?"

"Of course, my dear Mary."

Facing the questions from his colleagues, Douglas smiled, raised his head, and once again injected magic power into the crystal ball in his hand.

"You know, it's a rare sight to see Vanriel's barbarians being humiliated in public. I think I can take it back as a family heirloom. I can take it out and look at it when I'm happy, and I can take it out and look at it when I'm unhappy. But no, no, no, as the saying goes, happiness is better shared than happiness alone. Perhaps I can hand this video over to the academic institution in the White Tower..."

"It only publishes information about the invention and transformation formula of magic. Under what name are you going to publish this?"

"Um……"

Hearing this, Douglas thought for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and chanted a spell. Soon, the image projected from the crystal changed, and a small "DG" logo appeared in the upper right corner of the image, dancing as if burning with flames.

"How about 'Douglas's New Special Effects for Projected Images'?"

"…As long as you are happy."

Faced with Douglas's cheating behavior, Mary no longer wanted to say anything. She could foresee that this video would spread rapidly throughout the Magic Kingdom. Of course, according to reason, such a video was not up to standard, but the magicians in the Magic Kingdom were not nerds who buried their heads in books and had nothing else to do - they also had their own ways of having fun.

While wondering whether she should make a copy to take back with her, Mary sat next to Douglas and stared at the projection in front of her again.

"But...it's still hard to believe..."

"Yes, a group of children under ten years old can actually master such power."

Douglas also sighed, then he narrowed his eyes and looked at the female mage beside him with interest.

"By the way, Mary, who do you think is the strongest among these children?"

"Isn't that the girl with the twin tails?"

Hearing Douglas' question, Mary was stunned for a moment, then gave an answer.

"Since she dared to go up and fight Alfred alone, it means that she must be the strongest person here."

"My stupid student..."

But in response to Mary's answer, Douglas shook his head.

"As a mage, you are too dull. I am really worried whether you can inherit my legacy..."

"I became your student only because other tutors were not available. This was the worst option for me."

Mary looked at Douglas indifferently, without any respect on her face that should be shown to a mentor.

"The teacher will be sad if you say that. As a student, shouldn't you respect the teacher more?"

"If you hadn't used your magic eye to spy on girls bathing and changing clothes, and if you hadn't always sent your familiar to steal my underwear, I think I might have had some respect for you, teacher. But now...if you don't drive away the familiar hiding under the chair, I can't guarantee that I will do anything to it."

"Well……"

Hearing this, Douglas' smile froze slightly, and then he whistled. Soon, a hamster ran out from under Mary's chair, then it looked at Mary in fear, squeaked twice, and climbed along Douglas' robe all the way to his hand.

"Oh, my poor Selina..."

Gently stroking the hamster in his hand, Douglas sighed.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know where you went... I've been looking for you for a long time..."

"Please stop acting!"

"Ahem, ahem, alright."

Perhaps to cover up the embarrassment of using his familiar to spy on his students, Douglas coughed a few times, then he reversed the projection and paused, then Douglas reached out and pointed at one of the girls.

"Did you see her?"

"You mean the blonde girl?"

Hearing this, Mary narrowed her eyes, looked at the girl carefully, and then shook her head.

"I don't see anything special about her."

"That's why I say you are not mature enough as a mage."

Douglas held out his finger and wiggled it slightly.

"As a wizard, you should never give up observing your surroundings... Didn't you notice? When the child and Alfred started fighting, the blonde girl stood in front of the others, and they didn't resist at all. Not only that... At that time, I felt a very mysterious and powerful force protecting these children, and the source was..."

As he spoke, Douglas pointed to the image in front of him.

"That's not surprising."

Mary didn't seem to care much about this. After all, as a wizard, she had seen all kinds of strange things and would not make a fuss over such a small matter.

"If there is some kind of blood in her body, then it is normal for her to awaken some special abilities, isn't it?"

"What if I told you that these kids all have this power, just in different intensities?"

"Why?"

Hearing this, Mary finally showed a surprised expression.

"Really?"

"Yes, it was only after I felt the energy field released by that girl that I became curious and tried to investigate. Hmm... the result is really interesting. The energy feedback shows that those girls all have a certain energy strength that is above the average level. However, they don't seem to use this power on a daily basis. It's just like us mages, who just store this power in their bodies and use it when necessary..."

As he spoke, Douglas opened his right hand and made an explosion gesture.

"Look, it's interesting, isn't it? Not only that, I also feel that these energy fields are connected to each other... They are very similar to the mental network of the mind flayer, but I have never seen such a system before..."

"It is never a good habit to secretly spy on other people's secrets, teacher. When will you be able to change this bad habit?"

"This is a common problem among mages."

Douglas doesn't seem to have any remorse for what he did.

"Our lifelong wish as a wizard is to lift up the skirt of the goddess of truth and peek at the truth and secrets hidden underneath. So you see, Mary, the goddess of truth is so charming that we are not afraid to do this..."

"If the Speaker of the Council hears this, I think you will be hung on the top of the White Tower to dry out when you return."

"Haha, he doesn't have the guts to do that, otherwise I would have revealed his dark history. By then, it would be a good idea to have someone accompany me to enjoy the scenery on the top of the White Pagoda."

"I really want to ask what the dark history is, but I think it's better for me not to know... So, teacher, what are you going to do?"

Mary decisively abandoned this dangerous-sounding topic and returned to the right track.

"Do we need to make contact with this newly emerged force?"

"Of course, Mary, do you think we can let this opportunity go?"

Having said this, Douglas suddenly became excited. He stood up, walked to the window, and stretched out his hand to point at the huge warship outside.

"Look at that! That's what we're aiming for! Perfection, sophistication, and the limits of imagination and creativity! Isn't this exactly the future we in the Magic Kingdom hope for? Faced with such a miracle, how could we let it go? We need to learn, we want to acquire these technologies!"

Having said that, Douglas took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"Fortunately... the leader of the team has some connection with the White Tower... By the way, Mary."

"Hmm? What's up?"

Hearing Douglas calling her name, Mary immediately became alert, and Douglas came to her side with a smile on his face.

"You've always complained that I'm not a good teacher, haven't you? It just so happens that I can introduce you to a new teacher... Lord Fang Zheng. He just passed the assessment a month ago and became a full-time mage in the White Tower. I think with your charm, he will definitely not refuse some small, not excessive requests... Puff!"

But before Douglas could finish his words, he saw Mary suddenly jump up and hit him in the face with a beautiful right hook.

"You want me to sell my body?!"

"For the sake of knowledge, a wizard can even sell his soul!"

While rubbing his cheek, Douglas looked at his students again.

"Besides, this gentleman is handsome, young and promising...Aren't you tempted? In that case, I will have no choice but to let Mistra go..."

"etc."

Hearing this, Mary raised her eyebrows.

"Why does her name appear here?"

"Because the Temple also wants to establish a relationship with him, and if they want to establish a relationship, then someone familiar would definitely be more suitable."

As he spoke, Douglas looked at Mary with a smile.

"How is it? Your sister is very eager to meet Mr. Fang Zheng?"
