Miracles only happen in an instant.
A ‘crack’ and another ‘crack’ could be heard.
The spectacular “Wall of Fire” was frozen from the bottom to the top by ice.
In an instant, the high temperature of 55 degrees plunged to below zero.
The bottles thrown by a few Apprentice Knights actually froze the Level 8 Flame Magic of a Master of the Mage Tower.
If this were told, not a single person across the continent would believe it.
But the miraculous scene unfolded before their eyes.
The pupils of the crowd continued to quake, and everyone was stunned.
[You have demonstrated the power of the ‘Ice Potion’ under everyone’s eyes, earning 100 points of kindness reputation.]
Ellie Miller: Wow~
At this moment, Charlie Cullen reacted the fastest, “Ahhh!
It must be the devil!
That bottle must have had ‘witch medicine’ in it!!”
“Yes!
It must be!”
Yes, hahaha!
Artor Coldcrest is so desperate he made a deal with the devil!?
Heh.
Hehehehehe!
However, the one who reacted the most fiercely was surprisingly Jupis, the Master of the Mage Tower.
He could bear it no longer and opened a Magic Gate, and with an impressive kick, he aimed to boot Charlie Cullen into the Magic Teleportation Gate.
But clearly, the weight difference between the two doomed the attempt.
Seeing Charlie Cullen not moving a single inch, the old man huffed and swung his Magic Wand directly.
A gust of wind blew the helpless Charlie Cullen into the Teleportation Gate.
From the teleporter, the sound of a woman’s scream and a man’s angry shout came through.
“Damn it!
Charlie, how did you fall from up there!”
“Ahhh!
Your Majesty!
Get him out now!”
“Close your eyes!
Damn it, close your eyes and get out!”
Ellie Miller: “…”
She figured the situation over there might not be suitable for children.
Jupis casually waved his hand, closing the Teleportation Gate, causing the chaotic sounds from the other side to disappear.
The Royal Knights escorting Charlie Cullen opened their mouths, seemingly wanting to say something for him.
But upon seeing Jupis, Lord of the Red Tower’s demeanor, they clamped their mouths shut obediently.
Jupis, Lord of the Red Tower, pulled at his white hair, stepping step by step to the enormous “iceberg”.
“…Impossible, how can this be possible?”
The ice reflected his image, bloodshot eyes, and his silver hair tugged into disarray.
Ellie Miller also scrutinized the masterpiece of the [Ice Potion].
Honestly, she hadn’t expected the [Ice Potion] to be so powerful.
She had been using it as a ‘medicine preservative,’ what a waste of its capabilities.
Ah, this fire is quite strong too, it is still “valiantly” flickering within the ice.
Truly a marvelous sight, a fire within ice.
“Wow~” She had no intention to mock anyone, purely marveling at the beautiful scene.
But, the old man Jupis in front of the iceberg couldn’t handle this “stimulus”.
He, of course, noticed whose hand the bottle came from.
“Don’t you get cocky!” He turned and shouted at Ellie Miller.
The Duke of Coldcrest’s face darkened, he moved to draw his sword but was stopped by Ellie Miller placing her hand on his.
The Duke’s motion paused, his gaze fell to the small hand on top of his.
After shouting, Jupis started pacing around in circles on the spot, muttering nervously, “A magic that can freeze a Level 8 Flame Magic, what is this?”
“Could it be Level 9 Ice Magic?”
“No!
This is impossible!
Never has Ice Magic been seen,” his expression twisted, “to be contained in a bottle!!”
“A magic’s medium can only be an Enchantment Scroll…”
“Clearly, it is not ‘witch medicine’ either.”
“Ah!
Whatever it is, my magic will never be defeated!!
Magic!
Can only be defeated by magic!” Lord of the Red Tower shouted loudly, scaring Ellie Miller.
“Ah, how about we make a bet?” Ellie Miller suggested, “Let’s bet on how long my [Ice Potion] can contain your magic?”
“Hah!
How long!
Little girl, you truly dare speak boastful words!
I am the Master of the Mage Tower!
Your little trick won’t deceive me for long!”
“Not even a day!” He looked at the flames bouncing within the thick ice, “In less than a day, my flames will burn away your trick!”
Ellie Miller thought of the “Water Flower Sample” given to the Duke, feeling her potion could last another two or three days, so she nodded and agreed readily.
“Alright, let’s bet on whether my ice can last more than a day.”
“Ah, and what would be the stakes?”
Lord of the Red Tower’s eyes were bloodshot, “If you lose, you will tell me the principles behind that bottle’s liquid!”
Upon hearing this, the knights of the Duchy were enraged.
A mage’s magic is not taught to anyone outside of apprentices, so could their Duchess’s “Miracle Bottle” be divulged easily?!
The Duke’s pupils elongated gradually, turning into a ‘vertical line,’ gazing menacingly at the aged “Master of the Mage Tower”.
Ellie Miller curiously asked, “I have to risk such a large wager, so what about you?
What do you plan to wager if you lose?”
The Lord of the Red Tower’s face twisted just at the thought of that outcome, “If I lose, I will teach you this Level 8 Flame Magic!”
Ellie Miller shook her head, “If I win, it proves my thing is better than your magic.”
“Which means, in the bet, my cost is higher than yours, it’s not fair, you need to change it.”
“What did you say???” Jupis’s voice cracked, “Do you know how many Great Mages are begging me to take them as apprentices???”
“Do you know what it means to have an 8th-Level magic created by the Master of the Mage Tower??”
Ellie Miller was a little troubled: “But, if you lose, it means this magic isn’t as powerful as my [Ice Potion], then it doesn’t deserve to be a match for the stakes, right?”
What would the Lord of the Red Tower say?
The Lord of the Red Tower trembled with rage, “I-you!”
Ellie Miller feared he might faint from anger, “Uh, don’t be mad, aren’t we just…”
Jupis shouted in rage: “I can’t lose!
If I lose, I’ll become your apprentice!”
Ellie Miller hurriedly waved her hand, “No, no!
I’m not a mage, you being my apprentice would be betraying your beliefs.”
Jupis declared: “No!
That’s it!
If I lose, I’ll willingly be your apprentice!”
The faces of the Royal Knights from the Royal Capital turned pale.
They could hardly imagine what the King’s reaction would be if Lord Jupis lost the bet.
And what would happen in the Kingdom of Clark.
They must stop this!
“Your Excellency, I…”
However, with a gesture from the Duke of Coldcrest, the Great Knight Commanders of the Coldcrest Knights surrounded them altogether.
The Royal Golden Knights, forced into silence: “…”
Balk quickly fetched a scroll of parchment, and the Duke wrote down the verbal agreement between the two with a ‘swish of the pen’.
The old man from the Lord of the Red Tower didn’t even think, directly ‘signing and stamping’ on it.
Ellie Miller smiled shyly, but her signing motion wasn’t slow at all.
After signing, she started shirking responsibilities.
Despite the presence of Lady Cullen, as well as 16 Royal Knights, and an old man stubbornly sitting at the “Wall of Ice and Fire”.
“I’ve gotten some new inspiration, I’ll leave it to you to handle, my dear.” Ellie Miller said to the tall and handsome Duke.
Artor Coldcrest gazed down at her, “Do you need me to escort you back, my dear wife?”
“No, I believe there are still many things here you need to handle.” Ellie Miller gave a meaningful glance at the Royal Knights surrounded by the Coldcrest Knights.
