Chapter 69 New Year
"Ah...Ah Qiu!"
In the lab, Derian sneezed.
Li Qi blinked and asked, "Professor, are you okay?"
"It's okay, maybe someone is scolding me... Let's not talk about that."
Derian said, and put the broken magic device on the table, and asked Li Qi:
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"Professor, I have already said this before."
Li Qi looked innocent.
"So what you mean is that you used the magic device you imitated to release the Great Fireball Spell, and as a result, the Great Fireball Spell, under the amplification of the magic device, produced a power far exceeding that of the Fire Meteor Spell... Is that what you mean?"
"Yes, Professor."
“Nonsense!”
Derian couldn't help but swear, "I know how strong this magic device's amplification is! Unless you used the Fire Meteor Technique, how could a large fireball alone cause an explosion of this magnitude!"
"But what I said was true."
Li Qi responded seriously.
The rest of Reacher lied, but he did not lie about the magic he released.
Although he released the Fireball Spell at that time, the magic power that finally flowed out of his body was of the standard of the Big Fireball Spell no matter how you looked at it.
This is because Li Qi has enough magic power.
Otherwise, if any other real magician came here, his magic power would probably be drained by this move.
Li Qi spoke with great confidence, and seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, Derian remained silent for a long time.
After a while, he opened the broken magic device and tried to study its structure, but when he saw the broken gears and magic crystals inside, he grimaced again.
Using the Wizard's Hand, he took out all the broken structures inside and placed them on the table. After gesturing for a long time, Derien confirmed that the general structure here was indeed similar to the magic device he made, and then frowned and pondered.
"This shouldn't be the case. If you copied my magic device one-to-one, it would be impossible for you to create such a powerful explosion..."
Derian said, and suddenly took out the magic device he made and threw it to Li Qi:
"Come on, let's go to the training ground again. You can use this to cast the Fireball spell again."
“…”
There was no choice but to do as Li Qi was told.
Back at the training ground once again, Li Qi followed what Derian said and used his magic device to release a huge fireball.
The fireball spell, amplified by the magic device, did produce a considerable explosion.
But compared to that explosion, the shock wave alone blew Li Qi away fifty meters away, it was still far inferior.
The two explosions were vastly different, and Drien could certainly see that.
His brows furrowed even tighter, and he looked back at Li Qi for a long time without saying anything.
Li Qi lowered his head, looking like he knew nothing.
A little later, Li Qi heard Derian say, "Make another magic device for me later."
"Do another one? But I don't remember where I went wrong..."
"It's okay. Try making another one. Most alchemical tools are created by chance. It is these coincidences and accidents that have allowed alchemy to flourish. So don't feel any pressure. Just go for it."
Derian comforted Li Qidao.
He didn't doubt anything. After all, the birth of many alchemical tools was just a coincidence.
This also happened with many of Drien's inventions. When making the original objects, an error occurred in some link in the process. As a result, not only did the alchemy not fail, but new things were created.
It was because of similar experiences that Derian believed that the magic device Li Qi had made before was really just a coincidence.
Once there is a coincidence, the second and third "coincidences" will appear. When the patterns of "coincidences" are summarized, then coincidences will become inevitability.
What Derian has to do now is to guide Li Qi and turn the "accident" that happened to him on the magic device into a "necessity".
Understanding what Derian meant, Li Qi nodded in agreement with mixed feelings.
Derian taught him as if he were a real student and never doubted Li Qi. This trust and care made Li Qi feel a little guilty.
I don't know how Deren would react if he knew he was a 'spy' sent by Uno.
…
Li Qi certainly cannot hand over his improved magic device. First of all, the improved magic device is unstable. Secondly... the inspiration for the magic device comes from Dr. Levi.
If the improved magic device is handed over to Drien, it would be tantamount to betraying Uno.
Because he could foresee that if the improved magic device really became popular in the army, Uno would be the first target of England's attack.
Although Li Qi's sense of belonging to Uno is not that strong, after all, his friends and subordinates in this world are still fighting the enemy on the front line of Uno.
Genero, Rick... and Bailey.
Especially Bailey. Li Qi said that he was annoyed to death with her, but actually he didn't hate Bailey.
In the early battlefield, if Bailey had not used her medical magic to save Li Qi several times, Li Qi might not have survived until now.
Even if not for others, Li Qi would never hand over the magic device for the sake of this older sister with some quirks.
In the end, Li Qi chose to imitate the orb made by Derian. This time he did not do anything with it, so the result of the experiment was mediocre.
Derian seemed a little disappointed with the result, but he said nothing.
After that, Li Qi continued to learn magic from Julie, and sometimes went to the Blue Academy to attend auxiliary magic courses.
Time continues to move forward, and in the blink of an eye it is the new year.
The last time Li Qi celebrated the New Year was on the battlefield. On that day, neither Farol nor Uno opened fire. It was a rare moment of peace, which left a deep impression on Li Qi.
But I didn't expect that a year later, I would celebrate the New Year in the magical capital of England.
Originally, for Li Qi, the New Year was a festival that had nothing to do with him. After all, he had always been alone, and the most he could do on New Year's Day was to have something delicious to eat.
But what Li Qi didn't expect was that someone came knocking on the door early in the morning of that day.
"Senior Qiao...?"
Li Qi opened the door and looked at Qiao, who was standing outside in slightly fancy clothes, with a surprised expression.
Joe smiled at Li Qi, handed him a packed box, and said:
"Happy Devil's Day, Kiri."
"Ah... um, Happy Devil's Day... Um, I haven't prepared a return gift..."
Li Qi held the gift in his hand, feeling a little overwhelmed.
Qiao smiled and said, "It's okay, you are not yet an adult, you don't have to return the gift."
The New Year in this world is called differently in every country. Uno calls it "New Year's Day" and Farol calls it "New Year's Festival".
England...it's called Devil's Birthday.
It means the day magic was born.
In England, elders give gifts to younger generations during this festival. It sounds a bit like New Year's money, but in fact it is more like Christmas gifts.
Because when accepting a gift, you have to open it in front of the giver to express your feelings. This rule is not much different from Christmas.
The gift that Joe gave to Li Qi was a yellow scarf, which should be a magic prop made by Joe himself. It seemed to have a constant temperature function. Li Qi felt pretty good when he put it on.
"Thank you, Senior."
Wrapping the scarf around his neck, Li Qi said gratefully.
Joe's gift was just the beginning. After Joe, many people also gave Li Qi gifts on Devil's Birthday.
Derian gave Li Qi a copy of his alchemy experience, and Julie's gift was a third-level magic book, which recorded many spells that only England could learn.
The types of gifts the professors give are surprisingly consistent: they are all knowledge.
The gift from senior student Lisa was a new magic wand, and even Amy gave Li Qi a gift.
However, Amy's gift was thrown into the trash can by Li Qi.
Because it was a dress for summer.
What Li Qi didn't expect was that in addition to these, he also received a special gift today.
A gift from Belle of the Principality of Uno.
