Chapter 274 The Fourth

Time has arrived in December before we know it.

Annan came to the hospital to visit Professor Duran that day.

He would come to the hospital every few days to visit the injured teacher.

"Annan, the holiday is coming soon. What are your plans for the winter vacation?"

Dulan, who was half lying on the bed, had gone through a period of convalescence and his complexion had improved a lot. However, he may have to wait until next year for a complete recovery. His broken foot has not yet recovered.

Naturally, Dulan wouldn't wander around in this state, but there was no need for his student Annan to stay with him.

"Yes, it will be vacation soon. I should go back to Kedax City and come back after the vacation."

If the professor hadn't reminded him, Annan would have really forgotten that the New Year was coming soon. As a student, he could have taken two weeks off.

He has been living a very fulfilling life recently and has really forgotten the passage of time.

"Annan, what do you think of this capital and the magic academy here?" Duran asked.

"It's not bad. I haven't encountered any bad things in the magic academy here. No one has come to trouble me out of nowhere. On the contrary, because of your teaching of life magic, many people want to get to know me."

Annan didn't particularly make friends at the magic academy in the capital, nor did he frequent the magic academy, but even so, he still got to know a few local classmates.

"Although life-based magic seems useless, if you can join in the research and make new progress, you can write your name in the history of magic. It's called leaving a lasting name in history."

Annan doesn't hate others trying to get to know him for a purpose, but in this case he won't regard the other person as a friend, at most, they will be familiar classmates.

"Professor, you just asked me what I think of this place. Could it be that the people here want you to stay?"

"That's right. Yesterday, the principal of the Magic Academy in the capital came to see me."

Duran nodded slightly.

"He said that if I am willing to join, I will get better benefits and salary, and my research resources will not be less. No matter whether there is more progress in life magic in the future, my treatment will not change, Annan, If it were you, would you stay here?"

"If you ask me, the facilities and resources of the magic academy here in the capital are definitely much better than those over there. This is the capital after all."

Annan rubbed his chin and thought.

The magic academy in the capital really has a lot of interesting things.

For example, Annan asked them to borrow the latest model of war wand.

The magic academy here has cooperation and transactions with the United States of Eureka in the north. They recently purchased the latest magical combat weapons that are said to be developed by the elite magicians of the United States of Eureka.

When Annan knew that these things existed, he immediately applied to the Magic Academy for their use. After waiting for more than half a month, they were finally approved.

He borrowed two things, one was the latest heavy war wand over two meters long with a rather technological appearance, and the other was a flight backpack for magic props.

Although these two magic items are newly developed, they are quite simple to use and can be used in a fool-proof way by just inputting magic power.

The flight backpack, which looks like an iron box, is a bit heavy, but it can really fly successfully. Unfortunately, the maximum flying height is only ten meters, and the magic power required is too huge, so it won't take long.

However, in this low-magic world, flying spells are difficult to learn. Being able to fly at low altitudes with just a magic item is also a quite remarkable research achievement.

As long as the volume and magic power consumption issues can be improved in the future, it will definitely attract the attention of countries around the world.

As for the latest war wand, it is a type specially designed to deal with tanks and armored vehicles.

This war wand can shoot an explosive shell. Its speed is a bit slow, but it has a physical penetration effect. No matter how high or thick the target's armor defense is, it can easily damage the driver inside.

Both of these magic props contain quite the latest technology. Unfortunately, it was impossible for Annan to take them apart and study them, and it was impossible to give him the design drawings of the items.

After all, these two newly researched things feel a bit like military secrets, and the ability to borrow them for short-term use is the limit.

All in all, regardless of the teachers, the magic academy in the capital does have the highest resources in the country.

"However, I probably won't stay. I can't do research anywhere. The main reason is that it feels very troublesome. There are really a lot of social activities here."

If there had not been a big explosion in the hotel and Dulan had not been injured and hospitalized, it is estimated that the two of them would have had to socialize every day.

"Social entertainment?"

Dulan chuckled.

"Annan, if you don't want to stay here, then I will reject them."

"Huh? Professor, you don't have to care about what I think." Annan blinked.

"Annan, life magic can only progress with your presence. I only play the role of an auxiliary helper. And as you said, there is no place where research cannot be done. There are no necessary hard conditions for the research of life magic. It would be better to stay in a familiar city."

Duran waved his hand gently.

"Moreover, there are a certain number of white knights stationed in the capital, so our side is always relatively quiet."

"That's right."

Annan smiled and nodded.

"Ah, Professor, I forgot to mention it. Yesterday I created a new life magic. Do you want to see it?"

"... Why are you not talking about such an important thing until now?"

Dulan looked helplessly at the student who took out the wand from his arms.

"So, what kind of magic is it?"

When it comes to the research on life magic, Dulan's eyes shine.

"The name is the Mouthwash Curse. Professor, open your mouth a little, and then, look at me! Your breath will be fresh!"

The tip of the wand in Annan's hand emitted waves of green ripples.

"Should it be done?"

"Let me see……"

Duran put his palm in front of his mouth and exhaled.

"Indeed, my breath has become fresher...but why is it mint?"

"Why?"

Annan said he didn't know or understand.

Anyway, yesterday he had a sudden feeling and came up with this mint-flavored mouthwash charm in two or three strokes.

"In this way, the life magic now has four related magics. This is a good progress."

Duran was very happy.

However, because Annan doesn't want to attract attention, the newly developed mouthwash spell cannot be made public for the time being, at least until Dulan is discharged from the hospital.

"Annan, you are indeed a genius in this area."

"It's just a lucky flash of inspiration, don't laugh at me."

Annan was a little embarrassed.

Du Lan gently patted the student's shoulder.

"Then, Annan, I'll leave it to you to write the relevant papers."

"..."
