Crohn held the crystal box as if he was holding a piece of artifact equipment. After putting it in a special protective boundary, he continued, "You're still young. You don't know what the appearance of this crystal means. Didn't you notice that I've already completed the experiments for the next two weeks? A stable supply of energy is like a door to a new world for mages! "
"Efta wants me to sign an agreement not to participate in the war. If I agree to this, I'll have to bear the pressure from His Majesty's side. They also have a limited supply, and I have to buy them in batches … They gave me 24 crystals at a time, and I can only exchange the Voidspar for new ones after using this batch. How can I not cherish it?"
As he spoke, he walked to the wall at the entrance of the laboratory, which was filled with rules. He waved his hand and changed the entry related to "Waste Crystal Recycling Regulations". He directly added "The energy-filled crystal produced by Efta needs to be specially recycled", which caused the assistants around to murmur.
"Master … Do we really not have to participate in the war? Will His Majesty blame us? "
Velda had been dragged by Crohn to be his assistant for the past few days. Being able to observe the Archmage's experiments had benefited him a lot. After listening to Crohn's words, he raised a question with some doubts. After all, Milnor was conscripted by the Emperor. It would be too disrespectful to reject him like this.
"Blame? What's the point of blaming? Milnor said that Efta is the enemy, so I have to listen to him? " Crohn sneered. "The Lassman Kingdom has just flaunted their prowess in front of us. Instead of trying to narrow the gap, they insist on engaging in this meaningless internal strife … I have no interest in participating."
After all, the status of a Magister was extraordinary. As a mage with independent thinking ability, "blind loyalty" did not exist. What they pursued was the truth, not land or spoils of war. Therefore, Charles II would definitely consider their words. Crohn only needed to use the excuse of "recently had a major breakthrough in research and had no time to attend to the war", and naturally, he would not have to participate in the war. As for Milnor's conscription order, it would be easy to fool him with a few magic apprentices.
Although the "apprentices" knew magic, they were not mages. Crohn, who played on the edge, did not offend either side.

Elsen City.
It was the 20th day since Teflin came to Elsen City. For them, who had been exiled in the forest for decades, these 20 days of city life could be said to have reshaped their worldview. Of course, this was inseparable from Luther's efforts. Under Rody's instructions, he had been emphasizing his sense of belonging to Efta during the night lessons. That was why these Teflin were so easy to teach.
To put it bluntly, Teflin still retained simple human thinking. Of of of of the Teflin of the world, Teflin could of Elsen City.
Elsen City was not just inhabited by humans. There were also High Elves, Barbarians, Beastmen, and even the Wood Elf who had always been with Rody. As a result, people were used to seeing different races appearing on the streets. However, Teflin, who had a different appearance, was obviously not suitable to appear in public. Originally, Rody wanted them to take the 'Appearance Changing Potion' before slowly coming into contact with the humans. However, when he found out that the laborious Teflin were quickly seen and accepted by the humans in the city, he changed his plan.
After the transformation, the dozen or so Teflings were huge and powerful. It was hard not to notice such a conspicuous target while working. Their appearance spread like wildfire. Soon, people knew that a group of people who were even taller than the barbarians had appeared in the city. At first, most people were scared to death by the appearance of the demonized Teflin. However, when they saw that the demonized Teflin had helped the construction team build temporary housing outside the city, some people were finally willing to have a short conversation with them.
Teflin didn't waste his time studying these days, and with Luther's strict education, Teflin quickly left a good impression on the natives of Elson.
Rody struck while the iron was hot. He directly posted notices explaining Teflin's identity. He also personally participated in a few political events with Teflin. With the theme of 'Teflin is a human', he successfully nipped people's strange gazes of Teflin in the bud.
Every time Elder Luther recalled Roddy's actions, he couldn't help but admire his grasp of the human heart and his mastery of political tactics. Now that he was wearing a cloak on the streets, very few people would point at him.
"Onion! Fresh onion! "
"Freshly picked fruit! Hurry up if you want to buy it! "
"Baa …"
The noisy market echoed with the peddlers' cries. The neatly planned streets were not as crowded and narrow as in other cities. At the same time, "market managers" came to urge the peddlers to clean up the stalls from time to time, so there was no messy feeling of chicken feathers and vegetable leaves on the ground. Luther touched the silver coins in his pocket and quickly bought the food he wanted. His body was not conspicuous when he was not transformed, but his skin color and eyes were very impressive. Now, the peddlers would greet him when he was shopping. Obviously, they had become familiar with each other these days.
As the manager of Teflin's "Block Committee," Luther had been busy integrating his people into Elson's life. Although there were only two hundred of them, the trivial matters were really troublesome. Fortunately, everything was on the right track, and there were fewer things that he had to deal with personally. Since he was free today, he wandered around the market in the outskirts of the city. However, before he could go to his favorite tavern to have a drink, his eyes were attracted by the huge figure that was walking towards the city gate.
The arcane puppet, which was more than five meters tall, was driving out of the city gate on its roller wheels. The construction team outside seemed to be prepared. When it arrived at the predetermined location, they began to make way for it. There was a magic circle on the arcane puppet's arm. When it stretched forward, it began to use the energy of the crystal to cast the "Soil Loosening Spell" to soften the uneven road surface. Then, it used its own weight and the huge roller axle to flatten it. At the same time, his arm would automatically activate the "Solidify Spell" every once in a while, using the spell to reinforce the flat road.
