After Amy brought the Bone back to the City of Dawn, the storm stirred up by the Dark Appointment finally settled.
For the first time, he had an intuitive sense of the role of high-level combat effectiveness in warfare. This greatly inspired and changed his thinking about warfare, and also brought about new ideas for the future development of the City of Dawn.
After the others left, Morgen returned to the Scarlet Mage Tower alone. Although the Mage Tower had not suffered much damage, there was still some aftermath work that needed to be done.
Grot, Betty, and Corso, who had not shown up, followed Amy back to the City of Dawn with Morgen. Grot's return was because there were still 23 northern soldiers imprisoned in the secret prison of the City of Dawn. He also had to return and learn the "true history" of the Blood Clan from Morgen to avoid any jokes in the future.
As for Betty, the powerful northern Valkyrie, her return was because Isa was still in the City of Breaking Dawn. Additionally, the savage Valkyrie enjoyed the atmosphere of the City of Breaking Dawn. As such, she could not wait to return to experience more of this unique city.
In the study on the third floor of the Scarlet Mage Tower, Morgen's tall and handsome figure sat behind the desk.
"My lord, Morgen." Karu, a small man clad in a black mage's robe, stood in front of Morgen, bowing respectfully.
"Karu, what were the losses of the Scarlet Mage Tower yesterday?" Morgen asked.
"My lord, the Scarlet Mage Tower has not suffered much loss, as the bone dragon did not break through our magic shield.In addition, the magic shield needs a large amount of magic crystals to maintain. We spent at least 10,000 Kimpuke worth of magic crystals during the bone dragon's attack."
Morgen nodded slightly. War was a matter of economics. While the Scarlet Mage Tower lacked high-level combat power, it could only rely on money to build up its defenses. Fortunately, the Scarlet Mage Tower currently had no shortage of funds.
The bone dragon had attacked the Scarlet Mage Tower for two consecutive minutes. To be able to hold on for two minutes under the dragon breath of a level beta plus bone dragon, the 10,000 Kimpuke spent was not excessive. It was even worth the price.
"When was this magic shield built?" Karu looked a bit strange when he heard this question.
"My lord, Morgen, this is Lord Spark's masterpiece. The final process was completed four days ago. For this, we also paid 20,000 Kimpuke worth of magic materials. You were not in the Scarlet Mage Tower at that time."
Morgen nodded in understanding, and a hint of deep thought flashed in his eyes. Judging from the effect of the magic array, Spark had not exaggerated its effectiveness. The money spent was worth the investment. At the same time, he also became more interested in what Spark had said about the ancient alchemy magic array. If Spark had not spent hundreds of thousands of Kimpuke to arrange the magic array, the Scarlet Mage Tower might have been directly broken through by the bone dragon, and his losses would have been even greater. Perhaps they could strengthen the construction of the ancient alchemy magic array in the future. After all, nothing could happen to their own nest.
"Do a good job of appeasing the families of the deceased mage's apprentices and compensate their families with triple Kimpuke. Also, do not stop the production of the magic factory. No one will attack us again."
"Yes, my lord, Morgen."
"Alright, you may go now."
Just as Karu had left, an anxious voice came from outside the study.
"Karu, Karu! I heard that the Scarlet Mage Tower was attacked by the necromancer and the bone dragon?"
Spark, dressed in a white robe, appeared in the study. His messy white hair looked as though it had not been washed in three days, and he had a strong smell of wine on him, appearing slightly intoxicated.
"Teacher, I'm fine." Morgen felt warmth in his heart when he sensed Spark's concern.
If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"The city guard blocked the bone dragon, and the necromancer did not break through the magic shield of the Scarlet Mage Tower. Thank you for building the magic array. It's so strong that it can even block the dragon breath of the bone dragon." Spark was immediately overjoyed upon hearing this. A wide smile appeared on his face as he raised his head and said arrogantly, "This is the magic array arranged by Master Spark himself, boy of the Kachar family. Now you know how amazing it is, don't you?" After a brief pause, a hint of irritation flashed in his eyes.
"Well, how dare these damned undead creatures come to Green City!! If I hadn't had a few more glasses of wine from the Stormy Sea, I wouldn't have discovered this bastard. I would have pulled out its soul fire and roasted it." After saying that, he looked around nervously. "Where's Isa?"
Morgen shook his head and chuckled. This old man was truly helpless. No wonder Morgen had not sensed Spark's aura yesterday. He had thought that Spark had gone to explore the Door of the Abyss, but he had not expected that Spark had been drunk and had not noticed the danger at home.
"Isa has been sent to a safe place by me and will not be back these days. After all, the Scarlet Mage Tower was attacked by the bone dragon, the city owner's manor was also attacked by unknown enemies, and the Door of the Abyss appeared outside Green City. I don't know if there will be more threatening things in the future..." Morgen did not know whether it would happen in the future, but it definitely would not happen anytime soon. Viscount Bernard had offended an extraordinary existence, and the Dark Appointment would not have good days during this period.
Spark frowned upon hearing Morgen's explanation.
Indeed, the scene that appeared yesterday was truly strange. The Door of the Abyss, the bone dragon, and the attack on the city owner's manor. There must be a mastermind behind all of this.
"Well, are you sure the place where Isa is safe?"
Morgen nodded and said calmly, "There is no safer place than that." Not even a dog could be seen around the desolate City of Breaking Dawn. Other than some wild monsters, who would go deep into the distant mountains hundreds of kilometers away? There were not many places that could attract adventurers in the distant mountains. Not only were there few monsters, but the terrain was also dangerous and very difficult to navigate. Without the driving force of profit, basically no one would go there to seek adventure.
Spark nodded at ease. The old man was very fond of Isa. If Morgen had not accepted the other party as his disciple in advance, he would have rushed to do so himself. But even so, Sparks now regarded this girl with golden blood as his successor. She was smart, well-behaved, understanding, sensible, and had an unreasonable talent for magic. All of these satisfied the level beta plus mage.
Suddenly, as if he had remembered something, Spark said with some hesitation, "The matter of the ancient alchemy magic array, you..."
"In the future, I will give you 50,000 Kimpuke every month to build the magic array. I hope the sooner it is built, the better," Morgen said generously.
Spark's intoxicated eyes lit up, and he patted Morgen on the shoulder.
"Hahaha, boy of the Kachar family, this is the most correct decision you've ever made in your life..."
The strong smell of alcohol made Morgen frown. "Teacher, please go down and rest first."
"Yes, my wine isn't... I haven't studied my magic yet." Spark patted his head and turned to leave happily. He did not even look at Morgen.
Looking at Spark's hurried departure, Morgen could not help but laugh and cry. The old man was truly casual.
He stood up and went to the transparent glass window. Looking at the busy mage apprentices back and forth below, he felt a sense of satisfaction.
The Dark Appointment could finally develop at ease for a period of time.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and a thought appeared in his eyes.
"The Scarlet Mage Tower now lacks a high-level combat effectiveness as a deterrent. If Betty is transferred..."
Although the Scarlet Mage Tower was backed by Spark, no one dared to offend the unfathomable Spark among the nobles in Green City. But after all, he was Morgen's teacher, and Morgen could not let the other party do many things. When would he kill an opponent that could incite Spark to take action? I'm afraid that even if Morgen were to offer him food, the unkempt and arrogant old man would ignore him. If the Scarlet Mage Tower resided in a top combat effectiveness that could be fully controlled by him, there would only be advantages and no disadvantages for the Scarlet Mage Tower. It would be convenient to deal with many secret things. And Betty was not a blood relative, and he did not have to worry about being discovered by Spark or other powerful professionals.
The most important reason why he had not sent the blood clan to the Scarlet Mage Tower was that ordinary blood descendants did not have such a powerful ability as him to hide the breath of the blood clan. It was okay for a short time, but it would be easy to find problems after a long time. The most important thing was that he did not want to keep Isa in the City of Dawn. After all, it was definitely much better to learn magic from Spark than to learn magic from Amy or other blood clans. Betty could also protect Isa when she came back, killing many birds with one stone.
After confirming this idea, Morgen called Karu, who had just left, and told him to send someone to call Weina back. At the same time, the Scarlet Mage Tower was temporarily left to her for management during this period.
After solving these trivial matters, Morgen returned to the City of Dawn alone.
Although the war was over, the aftermath of the war could not be ignored.
He would also hold a funeral for the hero who died in the war.
