The bright sunlight pierced through the thick white clouds, and warmth fell upon the earth along with the radiance.
Outside the mansion, birds sang merrily in the treetops, and bees, drawn by the fragrance, landed on the petals to collect nectar.
Victor sat on a stone chair in the garden, breathing in the fresh air.
Holding a thick magic book in his hands, he read it intently in the sunlight.
Yesterday, the capital city of the Kingdom of Kant suffered an unprecedented blow.
The demi-humans stormed the city walls and destroyed the magnificent royal city, leaving only ruins and ashes.
This caused extremely heavy losses to the entire Kingdom of Kant.
Every household in the royal city was plundered, although the main losses were suffered by the imprisoned demi-human slaves.
Apart from that, most people just had their homes demolished.
But the Cassidra Chamber of Commerce was clearly in big trouble.
The kingdom's commercial city suffered a severe blow during Victor's battle with the demi-humans.
That once bustling commercial city has now been razed to the ground.
Countless buildings and shops were reduced to dust, and the resulting economic losses are beyond description.
Nearly half of the huge commercial city in the royal capital belongs to the Cassidra Merchant Guild.
Although this chamber of commerce is so powerful and wealthy that it cannot withstand such losses!
Therefore, the Kingdom and the Cassidra Merchant Guild will discuss the issue of compensation for the destruction of the Commercial City today.
As a duke, Grand Duke Barlow boarded his carriage early in the morning and headed to the royal city.
After all, he was the strongest in the entire kingdom.
In the next few days, he may need to frequently travel between the royal city and his territory.
The Grand Duke's departure gave Aurelion some free time.
Otherwise, whenever the Grand Duke has time, Aurelione will follow him to learn magic.
Just then, Aurelion walked slowly along the garden path.
She was also holding two items in her hands.
One of the pieces of steel, gleaming with a silvery-white color, was clearly an extraordinary object.
The other item resembled a tail that had fallen from some kind of monster, but with spikes, making it look particularly dangerous.
"Teacher, the items you auctioned yesterday have arrived."
Upon hearing Aurelian's voice, Victor put down his book and looked at the two things she was holding.
The name of the item silently appeared before Victor.
Gaia's Fine Steel
【Mahazak's tail sting】
Immediately afterwards, a white magical energy flashed in Victor's eyes.
Two wisps of wind slowly rose from Aurelion's hands, lifting the two items into the air, and they drifted down to his palm.
Only after holding them in his hands did Viktor's eyes flash with information about the two materials:
【Gaia's Fine Steel: Originating from the deepest part of the earth, it is said to be a fragment of ore that fell from the mountain range that the ancient giant Gaia carried on his back. Its toughness even surpasses that of diamond and can withstand extremely powerful magical attacks.】
【Mahazak's tail spike: Taken from the ferocious beast 'Mahazak' that roams the world, its deadly tail spike can even pierce mountains and penetrate giant snakes】
It is obviously genuine.
Viktor weighed the gleaming steel in his hand and pondered for a moment.
The amount of Gaia's finest material wasn't large enough to make a full-body suit of armor.
Moreover, Gwen already has a powerful suit of armor that has been reinforced several times, so she doesn't need another one.
Perhaps, it could be made into a weapon.
With his gaze fixed on 'Mahazak's tail spike', Viktor couldn't help but think of Erica.
Because Aurelion possesses the insane buff, the Eternal Forge.
Therefore, when teaching her, Viktor did not treat her entirely as a mage.
By cultivating both near and far, she can maximize the potential of her [Eternal Furnace].
But Erica is a pure mage.
Having reached the third rank, she should at least have her own staff.
Considering that she bravely stopped two calamities in that battle in the waters of Padarum.
Victor felt he should craft her a fine staff as a token of his gratitude.
But Victor glanced at Aurelion again.
The little princess was looking down at the materials in Victor's hand with a hint of confusion.
Victor then sighed.
Aurelion's birthday is in two days.
Never mind, we'll see when the time comes.
The two materials in his hands gradually emitted a faint glow, like stardust in the night sky, slowly dissipating.
Then, he looked up again at Aurelion:
"How's your studying going?"
Aurelion was not surprised by Viktor's words.
She knew that her teacher was asking about her progress with necromancy.
Normally, after she finished learning a new spell, Victor would patiently ask her about her progress.
The teacher was very attentive to her learning of the new magic.
And after she learned each spell, the teacher would use it exactly as she had learned it.
It was as if they were correcting her mistake.
This time was no exception.
As usual, Aurelian would confidently tell Victor that she had learned it.
But unlike usual, this time, Aurelion's face was somewhat somber.
Like a child who has done something wrong, he has even lost his former confidence.
"I'm sorry, teacher, I don't quite understand."
Necromancy is strange and profound, quite different from ordinary magic.
