Chapter 1295 - 381: The Demon King's Weapon (Part 2)
Chapter 1295 - 381: The Demon King's Weapon (Part 2)
Ophelia's expression completely collapsed, her teary eyes fiercely glared at him, and she ran off, clutching her textbook covered in sticky notes.
Admiring the escaping figure, Luo Yan nodded in satisfaction, looking at the sticky notes in the drawer, he just felt that these were much more useful than magic.
Youyou's shadow appeared beside him, whispering a complaint.
"Lord Demon King, Youyou finds that you are truly wicked..."
Taking a sip of warm tea, Luo Yan calmly thought to himself.
"Aren't I doing it for her own good?"
Youyou: "But you say that to everyone..."
Hmm?
Do I really?
...
Time quickly reached dusk, but the "Genius Girl" from the Holy City, Ophelia, was still racking her brain over the first problem.
Ilana was a bit worried about her condition and was even more curious about what kind of difficult problem Prince Colin had given her, so she asked if Ophelia needed help.
This time, Ophelia was unpretentious and decisively sought help.
Ever since Ilana showed off last time, Ophelia has been impressed by this academic genius's godly mathematical talent.
The two seemed to become good friends.
With the first problem in hand, Ilana quickly began to calculate.
And then—
Unsurprisingly, both were stumped by the tongue-twister-like math problem.
Luo Yan, observing in the shadows, nodded in satisfaction.
Perfect!
When Luo Yan finished dealing with the lab chores and returned to the dormitory tower, a stranger-looking apprentice was waiting at the base of the tower, covered in dust.
Seeing Master Colin's figure, the apprentice's eyes lit up, and he quickly approached, excitedly handing over a letter sealed with red wax.
"Sir! You're finally back! Someone entrusted me to deliver a letter to you!"
The two metal demon statues in front of the dormitory tower door glared at the apprentice, clearly having no intention of letting him pass underneath.
However, the apprentice was well aware he couldn't enter the professors' dormitory tower, so he wisely chose to wait obediently below.
"Thank you."
Luo Yan smiled as he took the letter, casually tossed the young man a magic stone as a tip, and then returned to his dorm, to the young man's delighted gratitude.
Sitting in the comfortable chair in his study, he opened the envelope, and a mixed scent of oil and metal dust wafted out.
[
Dear Master Colin:
I apologize for intruding upon your precious time immersed in endless truths.
This letter is to report that the mysterious "magic device" you previously commissioned our shop to create, a veritable "masterpiece," has finally met your expectations after countless days and nights of meticulous crafting and repeated tuning. It is now completed as of today.
You are welcome to visit my workshop at your convenience to personally inspect this outstanding design, to which you and your apprentices have dedicated your efforts!
Artisan Street, Alberto's Workshop.
Sincerely, Alberto
]
The letter was sent from Alberto on Artisan Street.
The words in the letter were humble and respectful, informing him that the mysterious "magic device" he had ordered was complete and ready for pickup at any time.
Obviously, this skilled craftsman did a "background check" on his generous customer after accepting the order, using his connections at the Tower of Great Sage to understand what the name Colin meant.
Luo Yan wasn't surprised by his curiosity about his identity, just a bit amused at the stark contrast in attitude shown by this gentleman.
It seems he hadn't fully shed his past, and though he left the Academic State, its imprint remained deeply etched in his bones.
Just as Luo Yan was contemplating his next schedule, a round shadow suddenly poked its head out from beneath his robes.
Golden vertical pupils flickered with curiosity, and a thumb-sized nostril twitched eagerly, musing enthusiastically.
"Magic device? What magic device?! Is it a weapon?"
Taufu's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.
She used her small front paws to cling to the edge of the table, trying hard to climb higher to see the contents of the letter.
She had long been captivated by the legend of the Artisan Street where magic apprentices often visited.
Just thinking about the various curious items and the never-before-tasted delicacies that might be there, made the tip of her little tail wag uncontrollably with excitement.
Mostly thinking of the food.
Seeing Taufu's pitifully eager, tail-wagging state, Luo Yan smiled and nodded, saying graciously.
"Of course, but you must behave and not run around."
"Got it, got it," Taufu impatiently patted his arm with her curled tail, "I'm not a child, you don't have to remind me every time!"
Luo Yan smiled silently.
He wouldn't forget the last experience.
Previously, this little creature had clamored to join his class for some fun. Knowing many students were curious about his pet, he brought her along.
At first, she sat quietly on the climbing frame, playing with her tail. But as soon as he touched on something she knew a bit about, this little "know-it-all" couldn't sit still, making pfffff sounds and giggling behind her paws.
Though she refrained from openly disrupting the class due to her master's orders, that buzzing sound was quite annoying.
Of course, Luo Yan didn't coddle her and with a wave of his magic wand, she settled down.
After all, a mere young dragon is not enough to resist the magic of a Platinum Level Mage.
Of course, the aftermath left Taufu denying any memory of the incident, stubbornly claiming he was too sensitive instead.
