A fierce battle had just ended, Sun Ran hugged Tolia tightly, and the two were whispering.
"You must be careful these days and not leave the guards I have assigned you. There are many abnormalities in the palace." Tolia said softly, letting Sun Ran play with the beauty on her chest.
"What are the abnormalities?" Sun Ran asked lazily.
"Two days ago, the palace guards saw a maid who was sending a message. As soon as she was arrested, she committed suicide. The opponent had already infiltrated into the palace. Also, the chef in the palace was killed when he was out shopping.
Someone assassinated me, so I had to find a new chef. The new chef had a clean background, but he was still concerned about various matters.
I'm not very familiar with it, so I have to be careful about poisoning my opponents... Abnormalities like this make me feel a strong sense of conspiracy." Tolia frowned, reached out to catch Sun Ran's hand that was causing trouble in her lower abdomen, and gently kissed him
One glance: "Don't take it seriously. The signs are obvious. The black hands have begun to step up their assassination on you."
Sun Ran smiled and said: "I know. But the black hands are in the dark and we are in the open, so it is difficult to defend. Now I am thinking about whether to create an assassination opportunity for them."
"You want to lure the snake out of its hole?" Tolia asked.
"Well. Instead of waiting passively, it's better to take the initiative."
"You're right." Tolia thought for a while and made a plan: "This month, I have finished all the things I should be busy with. In the past, at this time every year, I would go to the Walder Forest, the royal family's hunting ground fifty kilometers south of the city.
Hunting. How about we prepare and set off the day after tomorrow?"
"That's a good idea." Sun Ran smiled.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, Tolia announced the news, and also stated that due to the impact of the war, this year's hunting plan would reduce expenses as much as possible, and travel in simple outfits, especially the number of guards, would be reduced to half of usual.
After the news came out, it didn't cause much disturbance. The ministers routinely praised the queen for her frugality and then went about their business.
The flames of war were beginning to subside, and everything was waiting to be done. They were all very busy.
Sun Ran was in the alchemy room, going through the final steps of refining his own new staff.
The previous guardian staff was very easy to use, but when the forbidden spell was released, it could not withstand the impact of the huge magic power and fell into pieces. It was a pity. Surrounded by powerful enemies, Sun Ran had to work hard to build a new staff.
**stick.
The main material of this new staff is the horns and bones of the green dragon, supplemented by a large number of rare materials collected by Sky City and the Royal Palace. It took Sun Ran a month of hard work to build it, and it is finally close to completion.
Sun Ran is currently doing the final magic solidification of the staff. This process will ensure the stable operation of the staff. It is very critical, but it is not a problem for Sun Ran. After only half a day, the staff is declared complete.
.
This staff has a jade-like luster all over its body, and the top of the staff is a shrunken dragon head. The magic guidance core is a rare treasure provided by Sky City, a perfect natural magic crystal. It is said that this
The crystal was dug out by the dwarves from the veins thousands of meters deep. It is called the "Heart of the Mountain". There are no more than ten crystals in the world and they are extremely valuable.
Sun Ran tried the effect of the staff, and it was very good. Compared with the guardian staff, the magic power increase is slightly inferior, but the magic acceleration is greatly improved, and it is more stable than it. Use it to release forbidden spells
.There should be no more problems.
"Your main body comes from a giant dragon, so you call it the 'Dragon Soul Staff'."
Sun Ran was very satisfied with the staff and admired it for a while before taking it out of his independent alchemy room and into the alchemy hall.
In the hall, the magic apprentices are all busy. Every young man cherishes this opportunity to spend time with the great magician, so they work very hard to complete their daily alchemy tasks so that they can free up time as soon as possible to ask the great magician for some magic advice.
question.
Sun Ran waited for a while and saw Judy coming over first as usual.
"Hey, Judy, your alchemy level has improved very quickly." Sun Ran looked at the potions she brought over and was very satisfied with the quality of these alchemy potions.
"Thank you." A bright smile appeared on Judy's young face, and her bright eyes sparkled. She smiled and said: "Master, I have a question."
"Ask. If you have any questions, just ask them together. Tomorrow I will go hunting in Walder Forest with Liya, and it may take some time to come back." Sun Ran smiled.
"Hunting? Are you going too?" Judy was a little surprised.
"Of course I have to go. I have to accompany Liya. You know, Her beautiful Queen has many admirers, so I have to deal with them carefully."
What Sun Ran said is true. Although Tolia is married, this does not stop suitors. In the mage world, people are more... romantic. Even if a beautiful woman is married, there is still no shortage of suitors. There is no shortage of suitors.
If you be careful, you may be captured by someone who is interested, so Sun Ran's reason is very valid.
"Oh." Judy nodded, and then said with a smile: "I'm afraid no one has the ability to interfere in the love between you and His Majesty. Haha, I won't talk anymore, Master, I want to ask..."
Sun Ran began to answer patiently. After a while, other magic apprentices came to ask questions, and Sun Ran also answered their questions one by one.
Time flew by, and soon it was evening. Sun Ran was about to leave the alchemy room. When he turned around, he heard a voice behind him. It was Judy.
"master."
"Is something wrong?" Sun Ran asked.
Judy said seriously: "I heard that there is not peace in the palace recently, and there are rumors everywhere that someone is going to do harm to you. Please be careful when you go out tomorrow."
"Haha, thank you. But my magic is always ready for these rats in the gutter, don't worry." Sun Ran's face was full of confidence.
"Well, your power is the most powerful." Judy said with admiration.
Sun Ran smiled, turned around and left the alchemy room, and went to have dinner with Tolia.
Not long after, the magic apprentices also finished tidying up the alchemy room, left Snow Swan Castle in an orderly manner, and returned to the Royal Academy of Magic near the castle to rest.
late at night.
In a double room at the Magic Academy, a small ball of paper suddenly rolled down on the bed by the window.
The person resting on the bed stretched out his hand, took the paper ball into the quilt, then cast a small light spell on the quilt, opened the paper ball and read it.
After a while, the person on the bed got his head out of the quilt and started coughing continuously.
Soon, the girl in the bed opposite was woken up and asked: "What's wrong?"
"I forgot to close the window and the cool breeze kept blowing on my head. Now my head feels heavy and my throat feels uncomfortable."
"Oh, you are really careless."
"What should I do? I won't be able to go to Master Russell's alchemy room tomorrow." The voice on the bed was anxious.
The girl got up, stretched out her hand to test the temperature of her roommate's forehead, and was surprised: "It's already like this, and I still want to go to the alchemy room. Just wait, I'll call the doctor."
The girl put on a robe and hurried out of the dormitory.
Not long after, a kind elder followed the girl in, carefully observed the condition of the girl on the bed, and comforted: "Don't worry, it's just an ordinary cold. I'll prescribe some medicine for you. After you drink it, rest for a few days."
That’s fine.”
"How many days will it take?" the girl on the bed asked anxiously.
"At least five days. Your symptoms are very serious and should not be taken lightly." the doctor patiently advised.
"Ah? Can you hurry up?" The girl cried anxiously.
"Oh, why are you working so hard? Why don't you take a few days of rest? Your health is the most important thing." My roommate advised me.
"But what should we do about the alchemy room?"
"I will explain it to you and make sure you won't be replaced. Besides, you haven't always done a good job. I heard that Master Russell admires you very much." The roommate promised.
"Then...well, thank you."
........
Early the next morning, the sky was bright and it was a good weather for hunting.
The two carriages, escorted by less than a hundred guards, quietly drove out of the palace, followed the Riemann Avenue, all the way out of the Red Dragon Castle, and finally headed along the grassland path to the Walder Forest in the south.
Outside the city, a pair of eyes quietly watched the moving carriage until the carriage disappeared from sight. A white dove flew up and quickly flew towards the Walder Forest.
The owner of these eyes also jumped up from the bushes beside the road and rushed into the dense forest beside the road at a speed that is unimaginable to ordinary people. His figure flashed for a few times and then disappeared. (To be continued...)
