While Angus and his friend were enjoying their time in the commercial district, a figure suddenly appeared inside the Royal Palace. *Blink* After releasing a deep sigh, King Leon massages his temple before going back to do the paperwork.
Previously, King Leon appeared above the capital city and warned Angus to not get too reckless. Although Angus is usually cold-headed and calm, he gets emotional and furious whenever someone touches his little family.
This behavior becomes more apparent as time passes. Jayna and Anna become his reverse scale. However, King Leon and Angus know this is already a fact, and Angus himself couldn't change it.
Even King Leon couldn't ignore it when someone tried to touch the one that bonded with him at the soul level. Still, King Leon couldn't just let Angus humiliate his son and the envoy of Alvan United.
King Leon is not afraid to offend this powerful magical nation. However, it didn't mean he wanted to create trouble just for this simple conflict. If they could avoid conflict with a simple step back, why did they try to find more conflict and make trouble?
A few moments after King Leon worked on his paperwork, a massive explosion was heard across the Royal Palace. *BOOOM* The whole Royal Palace even shakes for a moment. King Leon frowned for a moment before going back to his work.
With his sharp perception, he knows it is caused by the twins. After the previous meeting with Capricorn, the twins became more mischievous and unrestrained. Every day, the twins create a huge mess for everyone.
Currently, the twins are inside the research facility near the Royal Palace. With the magical technological advances over the past few years, King Leon agreed to build a new research facility as part of the Royal Palace.
This will protect all the secret research and differentiate it from ordinary research at the research center. Most of the secret research and the production of Miasma Antidote are also here.
By coincidence, the Magic Canon research facility is also located here. For the twins, the golems and stuff built by the dwarf Kusibella and her team are their favorite toys.
It is not unusual for them to create a massive explosion or catastrophic accident with their mischievous prank. Magically, no one dies or suffers a permanent injury from their naughty act. At most, they will get hospitalized for some time or blackened from the explosion comically.
Now, the twins are coming out from a smoky room wearing gas masks. The twins walk calmly as if nothing happened while everyone panics and coughs from the heavy smoke.
"*Cough* *Cough* GRRRRT... Catch those twins!! *Cough* *Cough*" shouted Kusibella in anger.
Hearing the scream from inside the room, the twins pace up and go towards another room. Just as they are about to approach the heavily secured room, a pair of metallic hands grab them.
"Gezz... You two really creating a mess this time. And why does the smoke smell like lavender?" said Gilford while holding the twins.
A pair of mechanical arms emerges behind him and holds the twins while Gilford tinkers with something in his hand.
"Ahh... It's the nerd." said Gemin.
"No, it's the dork." said Gemis.
"Bookworm." said Gemin.
"Antisocial." said Gemis.
"Geek." said Gemin.
The twins badmouth Gilford directly in front of him without remorse.
"*Blurp* Damn... This is excellent stuff." exclaimed Axel happily.
"Yeah. It's been a while since I had a fizzy beer." said Ian.
"Well, if it is not for a certain sadistic person who likes to beat us every day, I would already drag Millie here." grumbled Mira.
"Hahaha... It's for your..." said Angus embarrassingly.
"Our future... bla bla bla, right?" said Mira, cutting Angus' usual reason.
"Mira, don't say that. I believe Angus is just trying to help us win the knight competition." said Millie.
"About that, I don't think others could compete with us. Angus, aren't you just too cautious." said Axel.
"Hmm... You may be right. However, it is also a waste not to train your talent, especially you Axel." said Angus.
"Urgh... Why me?" asked Axel.
"Why you? It is because you could practically instacast any kind of elemental magic. You may not realize it. Keep training your talent and increase your affinity with the elemental spirit. You may cast disastrous magic with a simple thought." said Angus.
"Is this why you force me to read all those old grimoires and spell books?" replied Axel.
"Yes. I believe you could easily instacast all those spells with your elemental spirit. It is truly an enviable ability. Even for me, I need all those complicated and mind-breaking calculations before casting those spells." said Angus.
"Urgh..." groaned Axel dejectedly.
During these past few days, Angus has personally mentored Axel. Various kinds of elemental magics are drilled into his mind. Unfortunately, Axel had no monstrous mind like Angus or other high-grade mages.
Therefore, his progress is slow, and he must train with everyone. Among Angus' friends, he is the only one who is exhausted mentally and physically these days. Still, it is not without any results.
With Angus' resourceful support and knowledge, Axel could not only use more elemental magic but also establish different contracts with various elemental spirits. A few of them are quite strong and could instacast fifth-circle spells.'
Angus knows Axel has the potential to become an archmage, even surpassing the legendary Archmage Bern. Moreover, this is also Angus' way of repaying Axel for finding Frozen Heart.
According to Ian, they will never find Frozen Heart this fast if it is not for Axel's elemental spirit help. Therefore, Angus didn't mind spending some resources to nurture his friend.
For the current Angus, the problem that could be solved with money is not a problem. Money is the last thing he lacks now. The Frozen Heart that everyone found is far more important and beneficial to him than this money.
After a research period, Angus found Frozen Heart could 100% eliminate the heat problem of his magic gun design. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to synthesize such a material artificially. Just a single artificial Frozen Heart costs almost a hundred thousand gold coins.
Moreover, the production takes over a week with zero error tolerance. Such a difficult process and task is impossible for mass-production weapons. Otherwise, Angus could revolutionize the Heart Kingdom and turn it into a gun era.
However, Angus will never do it since he knows the effect of guns on society from his previous life. In the end, Angus could only use the Frozen Heart and the artificial one for his personal use. One is for his best magic gun, and the others will use the artificial one.
