Chapter 642 Edward's Surprise! (Three in One)
"Harry?"
Laci stopped when he heard Adela's cry. When the skeleton soldiers began to crawl into the black hole, he finally saw Gervis who was intact and immediately exclaimed in surprise.
"How did you get in?!"
Gervis looked at them with a smile and asked a question even though he knew the answer.
After he finished speaking, Gervis looked towards Adela again, only to see the three skeleton soldiers beside Adela. His jaw almost dropped.
"Oh my god, what did I see? Three red skeleton soldiers. And this equipment must cost at least thousands of gold coins! Gold coin players are really extraordinary."
Gervis had a strange look on his face. Adela had summoned skeleton soldiers in front of them once in the Holy City of Heka. It was at that time that Gervis witnessed the magic of the necromancer, so he decided to practice undead magic.
But at that time, Adela's three skeletons were clearly the lowest level gray, but now, after only a few months, they have all become red-level skeleton soldiers.
Adela blushed slightly when she saw Gervis staring at his three skeleton soldiers!
These things were sent to her by her grandfather, who said that they would strengthen her strength and protect her safety.
Adela had no choice. Since the things had been delivered, it would be a pity to leave them unused, so she gave all the things her grandfather had sent to her skeleton soldiers.
Because she had sufficient soul crystals, in just a few months, her three gray skeleton soldiers were transformed into red skeleton soldiers, possessing strength comparable to that of high-level silver soldiers.
"Osido!"
"What's going on?"
At this moment, all of Gervis' skeleton soldiers had disappeared in the training room, and only Osido, who had lost his breath, remained on the ground.
Silas heard Gervis's powerful voice, but did not hear the voice of his chief apprentice, so he also walked to the door of the training room.
But when he saw Osido lying on the ground with his body charred, he was a little bit unbelievable, and immediately looked at Gervis in anger.
When he saw the magic badge on Silas' chest and the angry expression, Gervis knew that this must be Deville's father.
"Examiner Osido said he would cast three spells on me. I can choose to defend or fight. As long as I pass, the test will be considered a success!"
"I didn't expect that when Examiner Osido was casting the second spell, something went wrong and he was backfired by his own flaming meteor!"
Gervis answered very honestly, completely shifting the blame.
"you……"
But Silas was extremely furious. How could he believe Gervis' explanation?
As his mentor, Osido knows best how capable he is.
Although he didn't know why Gervis was able to kill Osido, it was absolutely impossible for Osido to make such a mistake. It must be the work of this guy named Harry!
Thinking of this, Silas felt a chill in his heart, and the next moment he was ready to release magic to kill Gervis, who was talking nonsense.
"Silas!"
But at this moment, Silas heard the voice of Duke Edward in his ears, and then his whole body suddenly stiffened as if he felt a huge threat.
"Although I'm not a magician, I remember that the magician's certification test does not require a confrontation test. It only requires the test taker to release three equal magics. What did Adela say earlier?"
Edward's words were plain, but his majestic aura was directed towards Silas.
Suppressed by Edward's momentum, it was impossible for Silas to do anything to Gervis.
"This matter should be the personal act of Osido. I will ask someone to investigate it."
Silas's face was uncertain, and in the end he could only grit his teeth and utter one sentence.
The Magic Guild's assessment does not require combat assessment, as this can easily lead to danger. Normally, the assessee only needs to release three equal magic spells for assessment.
Now that this matter has been pointed out in public by Edward, this is the evidence.
There were two traces of fighting on the floor of the training room, which clearly showed that a battle had taken place between the two sides. He certainly could not deny what Gervis had said.
So now, let alone revenge for Osido, what he needed now was to get himself out of this situation, so he directly pushed everything onto Osido.
Edward could not deny Silas's answer and said nothing more.
He originally came to find his granddaughter, and his granddaughter wanted to help her classmates, so he helped her.
As for settling accounts with Silas afterwards, that was not within Edward's scope.
After Silas finished speaking, Gervis first looked at Edward curiously, and when he saw Adela standing obediently beside him, he immediately knew that this was most likely Adela's grandfather.
Gervis was secretly surprised. Although the old man looked old, the aura he possessed was unmatched even by several Alonso's. Gervis felt like he was facing the vast starry sky.
After looking at him, Gervis saw that Edward didn't say anything, so he immediately spoke to Silas.
"So, do I need to continue my certification assessment?"
Gervis looked at Silas calmly.
"That's not necessary! Osido has done something so outrageous, and you have a certificate from the Higher Academy, so you can be directly certified as a junior magician!"
Although Silas secretly hated Edward, since Edward was here, he naturally couldn't retaliate, so he suppressed his anger and answered Gervis' questions.
Then he looked at the staff member Locke!
"Take this student to get the certification!"
"Yes, President!"
Of course Locke didn't dare to say anything more. He nodded quickly, then took Gervis to the hall to go through the certification procedures.
"Grandfather! Then let's go too!"
Seeing that Gervis was safe and sound and the authentication was successful, Adela immediately put away the skeleton soldiers, then took Edward's arm affectionately and walked towards the hall.
Edward nodded lovingly to Adela, without even saying hello to Silas, and turned and walked straight into the hall.
Finally, Silas's face turned pale and blue as he looked at Osido lying on the ground, looking terribly gloomy.
"You will definitely pay the price, bastards!"
After a moment, Silas finally suppressed his voice and growled.
Now he not only hated Adela and Laci, but also hated the Castle in the Sky.
…
With no one to make things difficult for him, Gervis quickly completed the magician certification procedures and successfully obtained a junior magician badge.
From then on, Gervis became a certified magician, and he no longer had to worry about being in trouble with the Magicians' Association even if he used magic on the street.
"Harry! This is my grandfather!"
At this time, Adela and others did not leave, but continued to wait for Gervis in the hall.
When Gervis completed the certification and walked in front of Adela and others, Adela took Edward's arm and introduced him to him.
"It's an honor to meet you, Duke Edward!"
After hearing Adela's introduction, Gervis immediately bowed respectfully to Edward.
Not only is Edward Adela's elder, but if Edward had not been present just now and had killed Osido, he would definitely not have been able to get away so easily today.
So Gervis was still full of gratitude to the old man.
"Haha! Young man, not bad!"
Edward just smiled and simply nodded and said something.
At this moment, all his aura was restrained. If you didn't know his true identity, you would never imagine that he was the lord of the first holy city of the Holy Alliance.
"Okay! Adela, now your classmate certification is complete, you and your grandfather can go back first!"
"Yes, Grandfather!"
Edward came here for Adela. At this time, Gervis's certification was completed, and with his identity, he naturally would not stay any longer.
"Zenia, Harry, and Lachie, you can go back on your own then! I'm going to the manor in the city with my grandfather first!"
Adela took Edward's arm and said goodbye to Gervis and the others.
"Okay, Adela!"
Naturally, they had no objection and responded immediately.
Afterwards, Adela followed Edward and walked directly out of the manor of the Magicians' Association.
Outside the manor, there was a convoy waiting. Although there were only dozens of people in the convoy, there were many strong men among them, all wearing the same silver armor.
After a brief investigation, Gervis discovered that the lowest-ranking among these people were the White Flag Knights, and that Waddington, whom he had met once, was among them.
"Huh! He finally left! I was scared to death!"
When Adela and Edward left in the carriage, Lucky suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
Obviously, facing the existence of Edward, Lucky, the dandy boy who has special thoughts about Adela, is the most frightened.
"Laki, you and Zenia should go back to the academy first! I still need to go to the outer city!"
Gervis and the other two had already arrived on the street. Gervis was not planning to return to the academy immediately, so he said something to Laci and the other two.
"Harry, where are you going?"
Lachi asked curiously.
"I went outside the city a few days ago to make some weapons and armor for my skeleton soldiers, so I have to go outside the city to get them now!"
Gervis did not hide it. Anyway, Laci and others already knew that he was a person who possessed the magic of the undead.
"By the way, Harry, when did you learn about necromancy?"
At this point, Lachi instantly remembered the scene in the training room and immediately asked.
"In fact, I already had a talent for necromancy magic, but because my mentor only knew fire magic, I could only learn fire magic!"
"A few days ago, Adela learned that I had a talent for necromancy and lent me her training notes. So I haven't been to class to learn fire magic recently. I've been studying necromancy in the dormitory most of the time!"
Gervis said it half-truthfully.
"You are actually a dual-element magician!"
Hearing Gervis' words, Laci exclaimed in amazement. Dual-element magicians are rare to begin with, let alone an undead magician!
"This is really unfair! Harry, now that you're an official wizard, you have to treat us in a few days!"
"Haha! No problem!"
Gervis agreed readily!
Afterwards, Gervis separated from Lach and others and rode the warhorse borrowed from Lach towards the outer city.
…
"Pearl of the Sky City, why are you dressed so beautifully today!"
In the large and luxurious carriage, Edward sat on the cushion and looked at Adela lovingly and asked a question.
"Ah... This is how I dress normally, Grandfather!"
Faced with a sudden question from her grandfather, Adela's face turned slightly hot, and she naturally couldn't tell him the real reason.
"Really? When Grandfather came to the City of Hope to see you before, I didn't see you dressed so beautifully. It was you who said not to disclose your identity in the academy, and you even drove out the people Grandfather sent to protect you!"
To be honest, Edward did have some doubts.
Although Adela seemed to be left alone on weekdays, how could the pearl of the sky city really be left without anyone secretly watching over it?
Therefore, Adela's sudden changes in the past two days were reported to Edward truthfully.
Edward first thought that Adela had fallen in love with someone and had a crush on someone.
But later, after his subordinates conducted a detailed investigation, they found nothing.
Adela didn't have many social contacts in the academy, and only those few people mentioned above could be considered his friends.
But even those people don’t spend all day with Adela, and you can tell at a glance that they are just ordinary friends.
If Adela liked someone and had a clear goal, Edward would be relieved.
Because with the power of the Sky City, it is entirely possible to make various choices and arrangements in secret on such matters.
But there was no clear goal, which made Edward a little worried.
"I just...I just want to change the way I live these days!"
Adela was speechless after being asked by her grandfather. After stammering for a sentence, she immediately knew that she could not let her grandfather ask any more questions.
So after a pause, Adela took the initiative to ask.
"Grandfather, did you come to the City of Hope just to see me?"
"The main purpose is of course to see my pearl. In addition, the Holy Alliance has some matters to discuss..."
Edward seemed to be distracted by Adela's question. He did not continue to ask Adela about her abnormal behavior in the past few days, but directly told Adela about the sea tribe.
This is the advantage of having descendants of big families like Adela. They will be the first to know about any disturbance in the Holy Alliance.
"Ah! Sea creatures! I haven't seen any sea creatures before! I heard that some of them are just like fish, but they can also speak human language!"
Adela was also attracted by what her grandfather told her.
"Haha! You'll be able to see it in a while! Before the Land of God's Fall opens, the issue of the passage quota must be resolved!"
Edward said cheerfully, then suddenly remembered something and asked Adela.
"By the way, Adela, do you know what's going on with the mental strength-enhancing potion in your academy?"
Even the City in the Sky cannot underestimate the potion that permanently increases mental strength.
Because with this thing, not only can more high-level magicians be trained.
It is also very likely to directly increase the base number of magicians, which can directly affect the future of any force.
The factors that limit humans from becoming magicians are nothing more than two points, that is, affinity for magic and personal mental strength.
One cannot become a magician without an affinity for magic. Similarly, some people's low mental strength prevents them from breaking through to become junior magicians. This is also a major reason why magicians are so rare.
It is conceivable that if one possesses this potion that increases mental power, many people who have an affinity for magic but cannot become junior magicians due to mental power limitations will be able to become junior magicians.
Although they are only junior magicians, when there are a certain number of junior magicians, they can exert tremendous power, especially when they join the army.
Although the Alliance Academy announced the existence of the potion a few days ago, all information about the potion's effectiveness and the type of person who prepared it has been strictly blocked. Even the Sky City was unable to find out any useful information.
That's why Edward asked Adela this question.
"Potion to increase mental strength?"
When Adela heard her grandfather's question, she immediately thought of that handsome, fierce knight! !
Adela's eyes rolled around, wondering whether she should show the potion that increased her mental strength to her grandfather.
The thing that could make her grandfather ask her must be very important to him, but after taking out the bottle of potion, Adela was worried that she would not be able to explain its origin.
Edward knew his precious granddaughter very well. When he saw her appearance, he knew that she must be hiding something from him.
Edward continued in a amiable manner, "The entire Holy Alliance is trying to find out about this potion. This potion is extremely important to any Holy City, including our Sky City. However, we are unable to find out any useful information."
"grandfather!"
After hearing her grandfather's words, Adela's conflicted mood disappeared. She bit her teeth lightly and took out a very light green potion from the space bracelet.
"This might be the potion you were talking about!"
Adela picked up the potion and held it in front of her to show Edward.
"What?"
Even though Edward was old and had experienced many ups and downs, he was still stunned when he heard Adela's words.
He originally thought that his precious granddaughter knew some clues, but he didn't expect that she would directly take out a potion and said that this potion was a potion that could permanently increase mental strength.
"Adela, is this potion really the same one your academy announced?"
Edward confirmed this to his precious granddaughter with a little solemnity.
"I don't know if it's the kind announced by the academy, but it should really be a potion that increases mental strength!"
Although increasing mental strength is very tempting, this potion was given to her by Gervis, so Adela was reluctant to take it for the time being, so she did not personally verify the true efficacy of the potion.
But she thought that Gervis would not lie to her, after all, Gervis had taken out the telepathic potion last time.
"Adela, can you show it to Grandpa?"
Edward saw his granddaughter's expression and knew that she was not lying, so he asked Adela softly.
"For your grandfather, but remember to return the bottle to me!"
"Don't worry, my dear granddaughter. Grandfather just wants to verify it and will not ruin your potion!"
Edward laughed out loud when he saw how well-behaved his granddaughter was.
After a pause, Edward thought of the source of the potion and asked.
"Adela, where did you get this potion?"
“A friend gave it to me!”
Adela sniffed slightly, turned her head away and gave a brief answer.
This was also where she was struggling before. She was unable to explain the origin of the potion to her grandfather. After all, she only knew the name of the God of Death and nothing else.
More importantly, Gervis had offended so many people in the Holy Alliance, and she didn't know whether her grandfather would arrest Gervis as well.
"Is this the same person who delivered the psychic potion last time?"
There was a gleam in Edward's eyes, and he asked calmly.
"Um!"
Adela simply hummed!
"I'll bring such a good friend back to my grandfather to meet him when I have the chance! I want to thank him for helping my Mingzhu solve the problem of not being able to break through and advance!"
Edward was very experienced and naturally knew what Adela was thinking, so he showed his kindness directly to his friend Adela to prevent his precious granddaughter from having any psychological burden.
"oh!"
When faced with something she didn't want to answer, Adela could only pretend not to want to speak, so her answers were all very simple.
Edward felt sorry for his granddaughter, and although he had many questions in his mind, he did not continue asking.
Soon, the luxurious carriage arrived at a luxurious manor under the escort of guards.
Although Edward usually lives in the Sky City, there is also a manor in the City of Hope, which serves as the Sky City’s residence here.
Moreover, the resident manor of Sky City is countless times more luxurious than that of the Golden Shield Family. It has many buildings and gardens, and its area alone is four or five times larger than that of the Golden Shield Family's manor.
Tap tap!
As the gate of the manor opened, the luxurious carriage drove directly into the manor and moved forward on the bluestone paved road. After about four or five minutes, the carriage finally arrived in front of an exquisite building.
“Adela, go up and play by yourself for a while, grandpa will go and arrange things first!”
"By the way, your potion grandpa will return it to you later!"
After getting off the carriage, Edward held the potion and spoke softly to Adela.
"Yes, Grandfather!"
Because Edward didn't ask about the potion and Gervis anymore, Adela had returned to her previous happy state.
Adela nodded obediently to Edward, and then, led by the maid, she went to the hall where she rested.
"Waddington, go get Bedford! I'll be waiting for him in the study!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
…
"My Lord Duke, you are looking for me!"
In a study room that was elegantly decorated and full of classical charm, Edward sat on the sofa holding Adela's potion.
At this time, an old man in a magic robe walked in. There were four stars on the badge on his chest. He was actually a four-star magician.
"Well, Bedford, I brought you to the City of Hope this time to learn about the mental potion. Now help me take a look at this potion!"
"Sir, could this be..."
Bedford was the chief magician consultant of Sky City. When he heard Edward's words, he looked at the potion in his hand and asked in great astonishment.
"It's not certain yet, so I need you to confirm it!"
Edward replied with a smile.
"well!"
When Bedford heard this, his hands trembled a little. He took the potion from Edward's hand tremblingly, and then began to observe and study it carefully.
Thanks again to "GrayFFF" for the 10,000-dollar reward!!!
But lately I have only updated three or four times a day, so I will keep the extra chapters for now. I will return the chapter when I am in better condition and write one or two more chapters!
