"As for you, Alicia, I hope you can continue to collect intelligence about the Alves brothers and report to me at any time." Yuna's tone became gentle again, but the majesty in it was still unquestionable. "I need you to be by my side and help me monitor their every move."
Alicia nodded "Of course, Princess. I will do my best to carry out your instructions."
Yuna wiped her hands with a handkerchief. She believed that her control over Alicia was strong enough and Merlin's future would be in her plan.
Doesn't Merlin know that the academic research and alchemical research of the Arcane Academy are the most valuable things? Of course he knew that even on Blue Star, "knowledge" was the most expensive thing.
But Merlin knew his own identity clearly. He was just a small character in the Arcane Academy. Even if he had some achievements in business, in the eyes of those who had real power and strength, he was still just an ant that could be crushed to death at will.
Of course, this is entirely because Merlin doesn't know that his "good brother" Lao Deng is the dean of the Arcane Academy and one of the most powerful demigods in the continent of Azer. As long as the gods don't come out, he is one of the strongest people.
If Merlin knew this, he would definitely be extremely arrogant.
On his way back, Merlin kept replaying the encounter with Alex in his mind.
Electrolux's invitation was not sincere, but exploitative and manipulative. They hoped that he could use his abilities to serve their interests, but Merlin knew that such a deal would be a loss for him.
"Joining the student union is a good choice." Merlin said to himself.
The student union is not only a symbol of power, but also an important channel for obtaining information and resources. Through the student union, he can get more opportunities, which is crucial to his future development.
But if he just serves as an ordinary student union member, it is not necessary at all, but a burden to himself. If he wants to join the student union, he must join the core layer, preferably the president of the student union.
However, it is a bit difficult for him to become the president of the student union, after all, he does not have enough time to settle down.
"I have to find another way to join the student union." Merlin thought about what conditions he could take advantage of now.
After thinking for a while, Merlin seemed to have thought of something, but he scratched his head and decided to put the matter aside for the time being.
The most important thing now is Arena of Valor and the upcoming final exams...
In the back garden of the Wizard Tower, Merlin looked at the red-crowned and white-feathered chickens running all over the garden with a look of relief on his face. Ever since Lao Deng followed his advice, the red-crowned and white-feathered chickens have been "working overtime" every day, and he didn't know how many male red-crowned and white-feathered chickens had died of exhaustion.
And Jones couldn't always use the resurrection spell on these red-crowned and white-feathered chickens that died of exhaustion, so Weber and Jones could only cook them into lotus leaf beggar chickens and eat them with tears in their eyes.
"Kid, how come you have time to look for me today?" Weber looked puzzled as he chewed on a bone.
Merlin chuckled, took out the Legend Duel duel disk and a stack of cards from his space ring and placed them in front of Jones and Weber. "I brought you a good thing, specially to relieve the boredom of you two old men with nothing to do."
Jones was instantly displeased when he heard Merlin's words. What do you mean by doing nothing? As the Pope of the Temple of Light, I have always been upholding a fearless spirit of dedication, and every day I have been giving all kinds of powerful breeding buffs to the red-crowned white-feathered chickens. How dare you say that I have nothing to do?
"Arena of Valor? What is this?" Although Jones was a little dissatisfied, he was also attracted by what Merlin took out. Looking at the words "Arena of Valor" written on the duel disk, he was full of curiosity.
After all, the things that little Merlin brought have not disappointed them yet.
You have to know that they are standing at the pinnacle of the Aize continent, they are demigods, and they have enjoyed everything.
But everything that little Merlin makes brings anticipation and surprise to both of them.
Weber spat out the bone and looked up when he heard Jones' words. A hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes. "Arena of Valor? You're getting more and more mysterious. Tell me what this thing is."
Merlin saw that the two old men's interest was aroused, and a shrewd light flashed in his eyes. He placed the duel disk on the table and began to explain the rules and gameplay of the legendary duel in detail.
"This is a card game that combines strategy and luck. Players can use different card combinations to summon a variety of followers and cast various powerful magic and skills. You see, these cards have their own attributes and effects. Playing with them will definitely blow your mind!" Merlin's voice was full of passion, making Jones and Weber want to know more.
Weber frowned slightly. Although he was not very interested in games, as the dean of the Arcane Academy and the foremost alchemist, his curiosity was still aroused.
"What research value can this thing have? We are not idle people."
“Hey, Lao Deng, think about it, Arena of Valor is not just a game. The card construction, strategic thinking, and even the use of magic involved are all areas that can be studied in depth!” Merlin took the opportunity to say, “Also, imagine if we can develop this game into a new teaching tool, and even help college students improve their combat thinking and decision-making abilities, that would be really meaningful!”
Webber looked at Merlin thoughtfully while gnawing on a bone, as if he was infected by his enthusiasm.
"You are quite good at this, keep talking."
Merlin was delighted when he saw this, and continued to push forward. "Also, I have some ideas here. We can study more efficient ways to cast magic by analyzing the combination and battle of cards. As the authority of the Mage Tower, your participation in this will definitely add a lot of weight to this research!"
Although Waver was still a little hesitant, he began to waver when he saw Merlin's expectant look.
"You have a point, but I still need to see what this legendary duel is like."
"I promise, this is definitely an easy and fun game. Come, come, I will teach you how to play this game now." Merlin looked sincere, but there was a calculating light flashing in his eyes.
Weber finally couldn't help it. He put down the bone in his hand, touched his chin, and his eyes sparkled with excitement. "Okay, I'm convinced. Arena of Valor does sound interesting. I want to see how attractive this game is."
Jones finally sighed, and although he still had doubts in his heart, he nodded. "Since Waver is willing to participate, there is no reason for me to refuse."
Merlin was secretly delighted, it seemed that his plan was finally taking shape. He knew that being able to win over these two old men with deep backgrounds in the Mage Tower would add a lot of bargaining chips to his research and might even attract more attention in the academy.
"That's settled!" Merlin clapped his hands, his face full of excitement. "Next, let's get started! I'll sort out these cards and rules, and we can have a few duels first to see how it goes!"
