The explosion of "Boom!" was the most obvious sound that broke the silence of the Earl's Mansion in the morning.
A curl of green smoke came from the tower where Thain was.
Faced with the sudden explosion and thick flames and smoke, the entire Earl's Mansion was in chaos.
Groups of maids and attendants carried water and shuttled outside the tower.
Although there was some confusion, everyone seemed to be working together in a coordinated manner.
After all, this isn't the first time something like this has happened.
This is the third explosion this month.
Although magicians explore the mysteries of truth in the laboratory and use this to promote themselves.
But this process is not without danger.
It's not as simple as outsiders think.
In addition to the exploration of the mysteries of truth, it is inherently accompanied by various difficulties and accidents.
Sometimes going astray will be accompanied by certain risks and crises.
Especially for a fledgling senior apprentice like Thain, there is no formal magician with a profound background to teach him. He can only explore the mysteries of magic by himself, even if there are many magic books left by Moses to provide guidance.
But sometimes the content described in books is still very different from the actual operation.
Buckets of clean water were sent to Thain's laboratory.
The flames generated by the fire element magic matrix have been extinguished, including the flames in the room.
The maids and attendants who went in and out of the laboratory, carefully extinguishing the fire, did not disturb Thain in front of the experimental table at all.
Looking at the dark experimental bench in front of him, Thain was still standing there with his head bowed in thought like a wooden man.
Thain was thinking about which step went wrong during the experiment just now.
His latest research is on advanced magic - the spell construction of the Eye of the Sun.
Among the many magic books left to Thain by his mentor Moses, there are many advanced magics involved.
Among them, Eye of the Sun is undoubtedly one of the top three powerful spells among these advanced magics.
If you want to learn and master a spell, the first thing you need to do is understand the principle of the spell and the core secrets used in it.
In this way, only after thoroughly understanding the spell, can you build a relevant spell model in your own spiritual consciousness.
The research difficulty of the Eye of the Sun is more than twice that of the Advanced Magic Flame Knife.
Likewise, its power is almost three times that of the Flame Knife.
This is a top-notch advanced magic. As long as you master it, until Thain is promoted to an official magician, the Eye of the Sun will be enough to become one of the most powerful spells at his disposal.
However, according to his current learning situation and research progress, he may not be able to master this advanced magic in another half a year.
Think about how long it took Thane to learn to master the flame knife?
It’s only a month before and after!
"There is a big difference between having a mentor to teach you and exploring magic elements on your own."
"Of course, the reason why I was able to master the advanced magic of Flame Knife so quickly was because I mastered its pre-magic Fire Chain Knife in advance during the intermediate apprenticeship stage."
"Should I put the research progress on the Eye of the Sun aside for a while? I can work on alchemy first."
"No, if I give up so easily, how can I explore the path of elements to the end?"
"This problem must be overcome, even if it will take much longer than expected!"
Thain thought over and over again and found where the problem might go, and walked to the test bench again.
One by one, low-level fire element crystals were embedded in each spell node of the experimental platform in front of him by Thain.
The maids who noticed Thain's actions hurriedly cheered and ran out of Thain's laboratory, as if there was some savage beast here.
Including those knights and attendants with thicker lines, their faces turned dark at this time.
Unable to understand the mysteries of magic elements, they had no idea what the explosion just now was about.
However, the noise and destructive power caused by the explosion still made these knight boys, who were generally young, a little scared.
The surrounding laboratories returned to silence again, and Thain continued his experiments.
Magicians are generally lonely seekers of truth.
In this deserted laboratory, Thain continued his research on fire element magic.
…
At the end of the second month after Thain came to the Earl's Castle, Earl Grant forcibly called Thain out, who had been bored in the laboratory for several days.
Why is it called "forced"?
Because the count called him several times at first, but received no response.
Especially after learning from the maid serving Thain that Thain had not come out of the laboratory for three days and had not eaten any food, the Earl broke in directly.
As a result of Earl Grant's break-in, that day, the Earl's Castle exploded for the fourth time this month!
It was a huge explosion with shocking movement. More than 40% of the tower where Thain lived was wiped out.
Fortunately, there were no other maids or servants on the third floor or above of the tower at that time, except for Thane in the laboratory and Earl Grant who had just gone up.
Otherwise, we don’t know how many non-combatant casualties this explosion will cause.
Thain was protected by an earth elemental shield. Apart from being slightly stunned by the explosion, he did not suffer any injuries.
Earl Grant was unlucky enough to see blood.
Even with his tyrannical physique as a quasi-knight, facing an experimental accident of this magnitude, his arm was inevitably injured.
Of course, from here we can also see the tyranny of the advanced magic that Thain is studying - the Eye of the Sun.
The tower was bombed, and Thain may have to find another place to live in the near future.
The place chosen for him by the Earl of Grant was behind the Earl's Castle.
It was originally a huge park garden, and the count planned to demolish part of it and build a new tower for Sein.
The beautiful environment is only one aspect. More importantly, it is relatively quiet there and there are fewer maids and servants coming and going. Even if another experimental accident occurs, there is no need to worry about accidentally injuring other people in the Earl's Mansion.
During the dinner, Earl Grant took the main seat, and Thain took the second seat to his right.
Sauron sat on the second seat to the left of the count, and Lady Tia sat on the other side of Sauron.
Dinner at the Earl's Palace does not always have to be a grand banquet.
Some nobles do like to do this, but Earl Grant is not such a person.
Except for some special festivals and extremely happy situations, there will be a big banquet.
During a normal lunch or dinner, sometimes the count and his family would sit together and simply eat more than 20 dishes, or open a few bottles of wine.
What's a little different today than usual is that the count's right hand is wearing a white bandage, which makes the atmosphere of the dinner a little strange.
Before dinner, the second young master Zoro first glanced at his father quietly, and then at his eldest brother sitting opposite him.
Almost two months have passed, and Sauron's sense of Thane has also undergone some subtle changes.
If we say that two months ago, there was naked jealousy and complaint about Thain's appearance.
Two months later today, Sauron actually felt a sense of awe and fear towards Thane that he was unwilling to admit.
Sauron has seen the explosions that have occurred frequently in the Earl's Castle this month.
It was also the first time for him to see that his invincible father could actually be injured?
And all of this was caused by Thane in front of him. No wonder Sauron felt a little in awe of him.
