Chapter 83: Dean of the College (3rd update, please subscribe!)

The magician is a fragile person, at least the magician in this world is a fragile person.

Anything could kill them.

Forbidden magic daggers, guns, explosives, and...poison.

A long time ago, many magicians were poisoned to death.

They can use magic to make their bodies stronger and to form a shield in front of themselves, but they cannot use magic to protect their internal organs.

Therefore, magicians developed a special spell to deal with poison.

It's called 'detection'.

Detection can effectively detect whether an object is poisonous. This spell has helped many magicians avoid being poisoned to death.

But as the saying goes, the higher the virtue, the higher the devil.

With the advent of detection technology, there will naturally be poisons that interfere with detection technology.

This is the same poison that is currently in Richie’s steak.

Li Qi had the good fortune to have seen this poison in Derian's alchemy class.

Derian told him that this was a poison specifically designed to target people with magic power. After taking the poison, it would interfere with the flow of magic power in the body and destroy the body's magic circuits.

In short, it turns magicians into ordinary people who cannot use magic.

Although the magic circuit can be rebuilt, the magic power in the body still exists.

But before the magic circuit is rebuilt, the magician can only be an ordinary person.

This poison cannot be detected by detection technology. Apart from using scientific methods to analyze food or having people test the poison, there is almost no other way to detect it.

Except for Li Qi.

Li Qi who can see the flow of different magic powers.

That was why he rejected Grand Duke Mills. After all, he didn't want to be imprisoned by Ilona and the others in the name of 'protection'.

Mills did not explore how Li Qi discovered the existence of the poison.

He poured himself another glass of red wine and sighed, "An alchemist doesn't need such strong strength."

"But that's no reason to poison your food."

"So, there's nothing to discuss?"

Mills and Li Qi looked at each other.

Li Qi did not answer. He stood up and grabbed the edge of the table:

"Thank you for your kindness, Duke Mills, but... I'm sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Qi suddenly flipped the long table over! The food on the long table flew in the air with Li Qi's movements. Li Qi used the long table to cover his body and lay on the ground without hesitation.

BANG BANG BANG!!

A series of magic flew out from the shadows behind Mills.

The magicians, who had been prepared for a long time, wore the first generation of magic devices researched by Derian on their chests and held their staffs to cast spells on Li Qi! "Lightning Strike! Get ready!!"

A wizard gave orders to the others. The wizards raised their staffs and, with the amplification of the magic device, simultaneously released lightning strikes! Blue lightning ran wildly in the room.

They smashed the table that Li Qi overturned, and turned the flying objects in the air into ashes, presenting Li Qi's figure in front of everyone.

The jumping arcs of electricity raged around Li Qi, and the transparent magic shield protected him in the middle, isolating him from all the magic around him.

"Kiri!! I'll give you one last chance!!"

Grand Duke Mills shouted again.

The team of mages also held their staffs behind him and cast the same spell at the same time.

Judging from the rune structure of the spell, this should be the third-level spell "Dissolution".

"I'm sorry, but I don't need the chance you give me."

As Li Qi spoke, he bent down and half-crouched on the ground.

He placed one hand on the ground, and layers of magic runes formed a circle around his arm.

Seeing Li Qi's actions, Mills no longer hesitated: "Kill him!!"

"It's too late."

Li Qi said calmly, and almost at the same time when those mages cast their spells, he used the spell he had prepared long ago.

This spell was named "Earthquake" by Li Qi.

Several green rays of light hit Li Qi's shield, but only dimmed the shield's light a little.

In contrast, when it came to Li Qi's magic, although they felt nothing at first, after a few seconds, they felt the ground shaking.

The shaking was slight at first, then gradually intensified, until the entire manor began to shake and wood chips and dust began to fall from the ceiling.

Seeing this, the mages had to send some people to offset the vibration of the ground, while the rest continued to cast magic on Li Qi.

After being amplified by the magic device, colorful magic hit Li Qi.

Li Qi's expression remained unchanged as he continued to increase his magic output.

In the blink of an eye, the soil rose from the ground, forming a solid barrier blocking him!

The solid rock walls and shields together blocked the mages' magic, making it impossible for them to stop Li Qi from casting the earthquake spell.

The ground was shaking more severely. No matter how the mages tried to stabilize it, they could not stop the waves caused by Li Qi's earthquake spell!

How can a wizard in the traditional sense, even if his magic power is enhanced by a magic device, compare to Li Qi who has a new magic device in terms of magical power?

"Oh no! The house is going to collapse! General Mills, retreat quickly!"

Seeing that the house was about to collapse, the leading magician no longer paid attention to Li Qi and quickly asked someone to take Mills out of the house.

Mills broke free from their hands that were holding his arms and said angrily:

"No need!! I want to see him die here! Only when he dies can we feel relieved!!"

"but--"

The magician leader wanted to try to persuade him, but the beams had already fallen from above.

Boom! Behind the beams was the floor and all kinds of debris. Countless things fell from above, burying the magicians and Duke Mills under the debris!

The mages had to cast magic at the same time to protect themselves and Duke Mills.

Li Qi took this opportunity to escape immediately. By the time everyone realized what was happening, Li Qi had already disappeared into the ruins.

…

"What...what happened? An earthquake?! Wow!"

Jeremy, who was still on the second floor, was still worried about Li Qi's situation.

But suddenly, I felt that the entire manor villa was shaking violently.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw the ceiling falling from above! Fortunately, Jerome was a knight, a tactical knight at that. The moment the ceiling fell, Jerome reacted, broke the window and jumped out from the second floor! He jumped out of the window, landed on the ground, and rolled over to release the force.

When Jeremy stood up again, he saw that the Mills' villa had collapsed like an overturned building block.

At the same time, a figure quickly approached Jerome, grabbed his shoulders, and ran outside.

After running for a distance, Jerome realized that the person who grabbed his arm was Li Qi.

Seeing Li Qi running outside with him, he couldn't help but ask:

"What happened? Did the talks fall through? And what about that earthquake just now? Did you cause it?!"

"Why do you have so many questions? I'll tell you when it's safe!"

"Then you have to tell me where we are going next, right?"

Jeremy ran outside with Li Qi and asked the questions in his mind.

Previously, they thought they could leave Lankana through Grand Duke Mills's channel, but now that Li Qi and Grand Duke Mills have broken up, where can they go next? They can't really run to the magic academy, right?

Yes, the magic academy might be able to protect Li Qi, but it couldn’t protect Jeremy!

Jerome was a little worried about his safety.

After he asked, Li Qi took out a talisman from his pocket:

“We’ll leave Lankana directly through the main gate!”

"ah?"

"This is the amulet of the head of the Mills family. The northern exit of Lankana is controlled by Mills' people. With this amulet, they won't stop us! Of course, the premise is that we have to be fast!"

Li Qi put away the amulet and spoke quickly.

It was also thanks to Mills's proximity to him that he was able to steal Mills' amulet at close range.

Otherwise, they might really have to find another way.

After escaping from Mills's house, Li Qi and Jeremy ran all the way towards the north exit of Lankana.

They had to reach the North Gate before Grand Duke Mills discovered that his amulet was lost. Otherwise, once Mills contacted the guards at the North Gate, it would be like walking into a trap for them to run over now.

With the amplification of the magic device, Li Qi's speed was faster than expected. Even with Jerome, it didn't take long for him to reach the north gate.

But just as they were about to escape from Lanka, an old man wearing a white wizard robe and with gray stubble on his chin suddenly appeared on their path.

The old man seemed to have been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Li Qi running over, he raised his staff with a smile:

"Sorry, this road is blocked."

“…”

Li Qi and Jerome stopped at the same time and looked around.

Although they were close to the city gate, it was night and there was basically no one around. Li Qi used his super senses to look around but did not find any other ambushes.

The old man is the only one here.

But even though the old man was the only one in front of him, Li Qi's expression still became solemn.

He said to Jerome:

"Take the amulet and run first."

"And you?"

"Stop talking nonsense and run!"

Li Qi stopped Jerome and stared at the old man in front of him.

Jerome glanced at the old man, turned around and left without hesitation:

"Be careful."

Having said that, Jerome quickly disappeared from Li Qi's sight.

The old man didn't move. It seemed that his only target was Li Qi, and he didn't care where Jerome went.

After the troublemakers left, Li Qicai asked:

"Who are you?"

"Hehe, little Julie should have told you about me? My name is Reyes, Moore Reyes."

The old man introduced himself.

Li Qi's eyes flashed and he recognized the identity of the old man in front of him.

The current dean of the Magic Academy, the veteran legendary wizard who is only known by name but has never been seen.

Maul Reyes!

It is said that he is one of the few magicians in the world who has surpassed the legendary level. Even though the status of magicians is not as high as before, he is still feared by enemy countries.

Li Qi used to think that the statement of "exceeding the legendary boundary" was just an exaggeration.

But when Moore really stood in front of him, Li Qi had to admit it after seeing the magic power in his body that was so rich that it was almost black.

Perhaps this is correct.

With no weapon in his hand, Li Qi clenched his fists and stared at the old man in front of him.

He said in a deep voice: "It turns out to be the dean. Why is the dean here?"

"Come and take a certain naughty puppy home, Kiri, have you had enough of the trouble?"

The dean said with a smile.

Hearing his words, Li Qi's eyes flickered.

It seems that Julie told the dean in front of her about her affairs, so Dean Moore came to take her back? Li Qi thought in his heart, and after a while he sighed softly: "Sorry, Dean, I don't want to go back."
