In the magic room on the second floor of the magic potion shop, Julian looked at Amy, who was making a snowman. He coughed lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Little Amy, after this period of practice, you've become more proficient in the use of illusion magic. What we're going to do next is to endow the item with magical energy. Only then will it be able to exert its combat power in battle."
"Just like Master Julian's Frost Dragon that can spit out ice cubes?" Amy's interest was immediately piqued.
Julian nodded, and said, "That's right. If an illusion is just a form, then it's nothing more than a trick to deceive people. If a magician's illusion can't make the item they create possess the characteristics and abilities of an illusion item, then it's a failure. Just like the fire phoenix that Crassus created, it's just a fighting rooster with the appearance of a fire phoenix. "
"But Master Crassus's fighting rooster and Master Julian's Frost Dragon fought for a long time without a clear victor." Amy looked at Julian with a puzzled expression.
"Well …" Julian's expression stiffened, and he didn't know how to respond for a moment. He coughed dryly, and continued, "Now, let's start with endow the ability. First, choose an item that you think is the most powerful, and create its appearance. Then, think about its abilities in your mind, and think about how to make the item you create possess the same abilities.
"Also, I'll remind you one last time, you're not allowed to transform into Mr. Mak!" Julian reminded her again. During this period of time, he hated seeing Meg the most. He felt like he was a transfer student who would appear in front of him almost every day.
"I still think Father is the most powerful …" Amy murmured softly. However, when she saw Julian's expression, she hesitated for a moment, and fell into deep thought.
Julian watched from the side. He wasn't in a hurry to teach Amy the method, nor did he give her any hints or suggestions.
He had never seen anyone who was as talented as Amy in magic. Even Irina, who had amazed him in the past, was still a far cry from Amy.
As for himself, he admitted that even if he had another brain, he was still not as talented as Amy. Therefore, he was more willing to give Amy directions and let her walk on her own. This was something that Crassus and he had a rare tacit understanding.
To them, level-10 was already an insurmountable limit. Even though they were indeed much more powerful than ordinary level-10 great magicians, they were well aware that they were still within the realm of level-10.
Therefore, they wanted to know if there was really someone in this world who could break through the shackles of level ten and break through to level eleven.
Some people said that the Elven Queen was at level-11. However, even during the racial war, the Elven Queen had only fought a few times. No one knew how powerful she was, or if she was just a smokescreen released by the Elves to raise their status on the continent.
Julian and Crassus accepted Amy as their disciple at the same time not only because they cherished her talent, but also because they had a tacit understanding. They both wanted to see if there was really a level above that.
Amy closed her eyes. A ball of golden-orange light appeared above her head. It slowly gathered and then expanded. It looked quite magical.
"This is?" Julian's eyes lit up. He looked at the scene with some anticipation.
Successful Ability Bestowment was one of the hallmarks of a level-5 magician.
Amy had only been learning magic for a little more than a month. From a complete novice to a level-4 magician, her speed of improvement was unprecedented. If she succeeded in Ability Bestowment, she would once again set a new record for the youngest level-5 magician. This might be something that would never be repeated in the future.
The golden-orange light made Julian think of many magical beasts. Of course, this included the Golden Dragon. However, this was Amy's first attempt at Ability Bestowment. Even if the magical beasts were of a lower level, it was still a groundbreaking feat.
The golden-orange light wriggled slowly. Then, it slowly shrank and became more solid.
"This is … that orange cat?"
About 10 minutes later, Julian stared at the little orange cat that had appeared above Amy's head. His lips twitched, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Wow, it really is exactly the same."
Amy also opened her eyes. She looked up at the little orange cat floating in the air and nodded with satisfaction.
"Um … Little Amy, I meant for you to conjure up something that you think is the most powerful. Usually, it's some kind of powerful magical beast. Only then will it be able to unleash its full power in battle. You little cat …" Although Julian had always followed the teaching philosophy of letting Amy unleash her true nature, he still couldn't remain calm at the sight of that adorable little orange cat. If he were to toss out an orange cat in battle, the best outcome would be to make the opponent laugh themselves to death.
"Master, this isn't a cat. It's Ugly Duckling!" Amy emphasized seriously. Then, she pointed at Ugly Duckling, and said, "Also, Ugly Duckling is really powerful."
Julian still couldn't believe it. He looked at the orange cat, and said, "Then, have you given it any ability? Try unleashing it on me. "
“Duang！”
The entire building shook as a result.
A huge cat-shaped meatball fell from the sky and pinned Julian underneath.
Amy looked at Julian, whose upper body was exposed, and asked with concern, "Master, are you alright?"
Julian's face was a little red, and he said with difficulty, "I'm fine. But … move this ball away for me first …"
…
The city lord's castle and the Hill were extremely efficient. The specific contract for the steam locomotive was drafted in three days, and was approved by all three parties. Michael, the Hill, and Meg represented the three parties to sign the contract. Meg would get 10% of the profits.
This contract was kept confidential according to Meg's request. No news of the steam engine's development would be announced to the public for three years. Meg also wouldn't have any contact with anyone else who was involved in the project except for Michael, the Hill, and Dicus.
This was a form of protection for Meg. The steam locomotive was bound to cause a stir on the Norland Continent. When the time came, if the various powers noticed him, they would inevitably target him, the developer, when they couldn't obtain the technology through normal channels.
A man's wealth was his own ruin. Mag wasn't a fool.
As for the development of the steam engine, the city lord's castle made a new request. The city lord's castle would invest a sum of money and take 10% of the shares. They wouldn't participate in any business activities, but they would allow the Buffett Family to use the title of Chaos City. Meg would still take 20% of the shares, and the Buffett Family would have full control over the operation.
This is going to be the first technology company on the Norland Continent. As expected, City Lord Michael has a good eye. Mag looked on as the two horse-drawn carriages disappeared into the distance, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face as he looked at the briefcase in his hand.
