The explosion of "Boom!" was the most obvious sound that broke the morning silence of the Earl's Mansion.

A curl of green smoke came from the tower where Saine was located.

Faced with the sudden explosion and thick flames and smoke, the 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, it wasn't the first time this happened.

This is the third explosion this month.

Although the Mages are exploring the secrets 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 Truth Arcana, it is accompanied by various difficulties and accidents.

Sometimes going astray will be accompanied by certain risks and crises.

Especially for a fledgling Advanced Apprentice like Saine, there is no Formal Magician with profound knowledge to teach him. He can only explore the mysteries of magic by himself, even if there is Magic Books left by Moxidu 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 the laboratory where Saine was located.

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 and put out the fire carefully did not disturb Saine in front of Laboratory Table at all.

Looking at Laboratory Table, who was already completely dark in front of him, Saine looked like a wooden man, still standing there with his head bowed in thought.

Saine was thinking about which step went wrong during the experiment just now.

His latest research is on advanced magic - the spell construction of Sun's Eye.

Among the Magic Books that mentor Moxidu left to Saine, there are many high-level magic involved.

Among them, Sun's Eye 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 this way, after thoroughly understanding the spell, you can construct the relevant Spell Model in your own spiritual consciousness.

The research difficulty of Sun's Eye is more than twice that of advanced magic Flame Blade.

Similarly, its power is almost three times that of Flame Blade.

This is a top-notch advanced magic. As long as you master it, until Saine is promoted to Formal Magician, Sun's Eye will also be successful enough.

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.

Thinking about Saine, how long did it take to learn and master Flame Blade?

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 Flame Blade so quickly was because I mastered its prerequisite magic Fire Chain Blade in advance during the Intermediate Apprentice stage."

"Sun's Eye's research progress should be put aside temporarily. I can work on alchemy first."

"No, if I give up so easily, how can I explore the path of the elements to the end?"

"This problem must be overcome, even if it takes much longer than expected!"

Saine thought repeatedly and found where the problem might occur, and walked to the test bench again.

The mid-level and low-level Fire Element crystals were once again embedded by Saine in the various spell nodes of Laboratory Table in front of him.

The maids who noticed Saine's actions hurriedly cheered and ran out of Saine's laboratory, as if there was some savage beast here.

Including those Knight Attendants with thicker lines, their faces darkened 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 Saine continued his experiments.

Mage people are generally lonely Truth Explorer.

In this deserted laboratory, Saine continued his research on Fire Element Magic.

At the end of the second month after Saine came to Earl's Castle, Earl Grant forcibly called out Saine, who had been bored in the laboratory for several days.

Why do you say "forced"?

Because the count called him several times at first, but received no response.

Especially after learning from the maid who served Saine that Saine had not come out of the laboratory for three days and had not eaten any food, the count broke in directly.

As a result of Earl Grant breaking in, on that day, Earl's Castle exploded for the fourth time this month!

It was a big explosion with shocking movement. More than 40% of the tower where Saine lived was wiped out.

Thanks to the fact that there were more than three floors of the tower at that time, except for Saine in the laboratory and those who had just gone up

There are no other maids and servants except Earl Grant who went there.

Otherwise, we don't know how many non-combat casualties this explosion will cause.

Saine was protected by 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 Quasi-Knight tyrannical physique, 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 Saine is researching - Sun's Eye.

The tower was bombed, Saine may have to find another place to live in the near future.

Earl Grant chose the place for him, behind Earl's Castle.

It was originally a huge park garden, and the count planned to demolish part of it and then build a new tower for Saine.

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 sat in the main seat, and Saine sat in the second seat to his right.

Solon sits on the second seat to the left of the earl, and Lady Diya sits on the other side of Solon.

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 feasts.

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 typing White Bandage, which makes the atmosphere of the dinner a little strange.

Before dinner, the second young master Solon first glanced at his father quietly, and then at his eldest brother sitting opposite him.

Almost two months have passed, and Solon's sense of Saine has also undergone some subtle changes.

If we say that two months ago, there was naked jealousy and complaint about the appearance of Saine.

Today, two months later, Solon actually felt a trace of awe and fear towards Saine that he himself was unwilling to admit.

Earl's Castle Solon has seen the explosions that have occurred frequently this month.

It was also the first time for him to see that his Invincible father could be injured?

And all of this was caused by Saine in front of him. No wonder Solon would feel a little awe of it.
