The Genius Mage

After returning to the Knights, Audrey immediately went to look for teacher Claude.

Although she had already resolved the matter of the beasts attacking Spark City, Audrey was still worried. The Carol Association still existed, and so did the demonic Qi. One day, they would make a comeback.

As for herself, she did not know much about the demonic Qi. However, there were many books in the Magic Academy, so there might be some records.

After passing through that remote path, an antique door appeared in front of her. There was a faint glimmer of light from inside. Audrey smiled and pushed the door open to enter.

Teacher Claude was sitting in the courtyard reading a book. Audrey slowly walked forward and sat opposite him.

“Audrey, you’re here,” teacher Claude said with a chuckle. His eyes were still fixated on the book. Even Audrey admired the extent of his obsession with books.

It was because the teacher treasured these books so much that the Magic Academy had been maintained until now.

“Teacher Claude, I’m here to ask you some questions.” Audrey nodded and went straight to the point.

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Claude. “I know what you want to say. Wait for me to think about how to answer you.”

With that, Claude sighed meaningfully. Then, he stood up and stood in the courtyard as if he was thinking about something.

This time, even Claude, who had been hiding in the Magic Academy, had heard about the attack on Spark City. So, although he was not involved in anything outside, he was very well-informed.

He also knew what Audrey and the others had done.

After a long while, Claude turned around and looked at Audrey with a deep gaze. “You did well!”

Audrey frowned and was puzzled for a moment.

Claude explained with a smile, “I know what you did outside. Whether it was fighting against the beasts or destroying the plan of the Carol Association, you did a good job.”

“So you know everything.” Audrey smiled and said helplessly.

“Are you here to ask me about demonic Qi?” Claude nodded and looked at Audrey seriously.

Audrey nodded, her eyes burning. Unfortunately, she knew too little about demonic Qi. She had no way to deal with the various schemes of the Carol Association.

“Demonic Qi. I thought it had disappeared for tens of thousands of years. I didn’t expect it to remain until now and become stronger.” Teacher Claude sighed deeply and said with a heavy tone, “A long time ago, demonic Qi was also recognized. Later on, because the cultivation method was too cruel, it was banned. However, people who cultivate demonic Qi bore a grudge because of it. So they became more and more savage, and they studied all kinds of cruel cultivation methods.”

It was indeed cruel!

Audrey acknowledged it in her heart. So many wild beasts had been killed this time. Who knew how many creatures would be killed in the future.

“Then, how should we deal with it?” Audrey asked with a slight frown.

“How to completely resolve it will depend on you. But right now, the Carol Association is very ambitious. So I’m afraid it will be disadvantageous to Spark City,” Claude reminded them kindly.

Audrey had also thought of this long ago. However, now that they had already destroyed the Carol Association’s plan of using wild beasts to attack Spark City, what other actions would they take?

Audrey racked her brains, but she could not think of what the Carol Association would do. Could it be that they were going to fight him head-on?

“Teacher Claude, what do you think they will do?” Audrey asked.

Teacher Claude frowned and fell into deep thought.

After a long while, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Audrey. Then, he said meaningfully, “As far as I know, there’s a secret technique in the demonic Qi. With a certain potion, normal human and demonic Qi can enter one’s body and lose one’s rationality.”

Potion?

These words seemed to wake Audrey up instantly. Her expression tensed up as she thought of the laboratory of the marshal and the others. Could it be that they were studying this matter?

However, they had yet to refine the potion.

However, there would be a day when they would succeed. The consequences would be unimaginable.

Audrey felt inexplicably nervous. She hurriedly told teacher Claude everything that happened in the laboratory. She asked him if what the Carol Association was doing was related to the matter that the teacher had mentioned.

“Are you serious?” Teacher Claude immediately became nervous as well, his voice urgent.

Audrey nodded solemnly.

“That’s not good. If demonic Qi invades the residents of Spark City, then this place will belong to the Carol Association.” Teacher Claude frowned, feeling very uneasy.

Hearing this, Audrey’s eyes darkened, and she said coldly, “I won’t let such a thing happen.”

There were still many of her friends and family in Spark City. These were Audrey’s greatest concerns.

“Teacher Claude, is there any way to stop this? I will definitely do it,” Audrey looked at Claude earnestly and asked.

Claude hesitated for a moment before slowly saying, “It’s not that there’s no solution. It’s just that it’s too dangerous and troublesome.”

“It’s fine if you say so.”

“There are three items in this world that can purify demonic Qi. Once we find them and bring them back, we can smoothly resolve this matter.” Teacher Claude thought for a moment before speaking sternly, “However, these three items are in different places. It’s difficult to find them, and the journey is also very dangerous…”

“Which three?” Audrey was delighted as she hurriedly asked, not caring about the hesitation in teacher Claude’s tone.
