I have a Synthesizer

Seven days later, Asmund looked at the report Gwen brought back and frowned slightly. It had Klein's own magical signature, fingerprints, and the executor's seal on it, making it impossible to fake.

So the report was real, but the problem was that Klein actually acknowledged the legality of this 430 million compensation clause. Although Jay's only had to pay half of it, 215 million was still an astonishing sum.

"That kid must have reached some kind of deal or agreement with Horthwagg, otherwise, he shouldn't have agreed to this 215 million compensation."

The compensation was fine. Asmund had originally planned to compensate in order to protect Klein. In the past, 215 million would have been a huge drain, but now that they had Perona, the sum wasn't beyond his expectations.

What annoyed Asmund more was the slanderous demonization of him in Horthwagg's report.

【Shocking! The Arcane Mage has been hiding for years, just to do such a thing!】

【The Horthwagg Cataclysm, is all this behind the moral decay of Arcane Mages, or the distortion of human nature?】

【Super-Order powerhouses hide so deeply, doing such a thing that will be infamous for ten thousand years, aren't they afraid of misfortune in their later years?】

These heart-stirring sentences and exaggerated words were too eye-catching, unlike the media tactics of this era at all.

That wasn't the most outrageous thing. What was even more outrageous was that Klein's personal confession contained all sorts of hints, and who the hints were directed at didn't need to be said.

【How could a low-level Arcane Mage like me cause such a commotion? Use your brains, okay? Such a large-scale destructive energy tide could only be created by a very profound Arcane Mage.

There are only a few very profound Arcane Mages in this world! I don't need to say who created it, right? It's no fun if you keep blaming me!】

There were more than just one such hint in the confession. Wasn't this openly shifting the blame? Could this matter be blamed on him?

Okay, perhaps the matter of Edward and the Thread of Time was indeed related to him to some extent, but a big thing like the Arcane Energy Tide had absolutely nothing to do with him.

"What exactly does Klein want to do? What good will it do him to shift all the blame onto me?"

Gwen, who was beside him, heard Asmund's mutterings. In fact, Gwen knew the reason why Klein did this, it was Klein's development theory.

I develop, you develop, then it's the same as me not developing, which is undesirable.

I develop, you don't develop, then it's the same as me developing twice as much, which can only be considered a lower strategy.

I develop, you don't develop, and you have to help me pay money and handle my affairs, then it's considered double the development, which is a middle strategy.

【According to the damage suffered by Horthwagg Magic Academy, Jay's and Klein himself will pay 430 million Thales and a quantity of magical materials, to be borne jointly by both parties.】

Although Asmund was somewhat angry and annoyed, he could accept the outcome of this judgment. It was just money. The current Jay's was no longer the poor wretch it used to be.

Moreover, the handling of Klein's personal affairs was not beyond Asmund's expectations. Once detained for a long time, Klein's development time might be postponed.

If he hadn't obtained RS-01, Asmund might have tried his best to rescue Klein, but now that he had obtained RS-01, Klein's priority was still very high, but it was no longer the highest.

What he was more concerned about now was the method of using RS-01. Asmund hadn't decided what to do.

If RS-01 was male, he certainly wouldn't hesitate in the slightest, but RS-01 was female, so the specific method of use had to be carefully considered.

Putting this matter behind him, Asmund casually asked Gwen:

"Gwen, is Klein still in Grayshill Prison?"

"Yes, sir," Gwen replied with a calm expression.

Asmund lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep drag, and said:

"Forget it, let Klein stay there for a while. It can be seen that he has a lot of thoughts now, but he will never understand that everything is in vain.

Now that we have Perona, we're not short of money. Ask Horthwagg if we can use new magic mechs to offset the debt if we don't have enough cash."

"New mechs? At the original price? Will Horthwagg agree?"

Whenever new magic mechs were mentioned, Asmund's face always had an indelible smile.

"Once they've seen the performance of the mechs, they'll definitely agree. Not to mention anything else, even as a defensive force, the new magic mechs are enough to satisfy many people.

Handle this matter yourself. Go, I'm still relieved when you handle things."

"Yes!"

Gwen nodded and left Asmund's office, with a faint smile on her face as she walked.

Returning to work in the library, Gwen placed a ring wrapped in paper on the corner of the table.

Just as Lance, who had finished reading a book, walked past Gwen's desk, he inadvertently took the ring away. The two of them didn't communicate at all, but they understood each other.

After Lance left Jay's, he went to the southern suburbs to gather herbs and stopped in an area where Bone-Eating Beasts roamed. The Scythe Demon was already waiting there.

Lance stuck the ring on the Scythe Demon's back, nodded, and the Scythe Demon also nodded at Lance, activated invisibility, and jumped towards the Western Border.

A silent exchange of goods between bottled creatures ended just like that.

… …

At the same time that Lance and the Scythe Demon were exchanging supplies and information, Klein, who had been a prison bully for a few days, had arrived on the border of the Western Territory! Lilith and the others followed behind him.

"What agreement did you reach with Annabella? How could she let you go so easily?"

Lilith looked at Klein and asked curiously.

At this time, Klein was wearing a brown robe. If you didn't look at the long sword in his hand, he really looked like a regular mage.

"The ostensible meaning is that Horthwagg will weaken Jay's while receiving compensation, but this is just the purpose of the Dean of Horthwagg and some elders. She is doing this as a matter of routine.

Her personal need is to get the triggering method of Chaotic Arcane Energy from me, which is very attractive to her."

After contacting Annabella a few days ago, Klein learned that the other party's method of using arcane magic was decomposition, as well as metal-based shaping. Arcane decomposition was considered a first-order enhanced power, which Klein no longer valued.

Metal-based shaping had many things to learn from. Annabella's magic principle was to mix violent arcane energy into metal construct magic to achieve the effect of mutating and shaping metal.

Now that Klein had Supreme Arcane Energy, the effect and skill of shaping would be of great use.

"Then you gave her the triggering method of Chaotic Arcane Energy?"

Lilith knew that Klein's abilities were extraordinary. The Arcane Energy Tide was a linkage effect of Chaotic Arcane Energy. This was not only a matter of destructive power and pollution, but also mixed with some information about her and Klein's breakthroughs, so she naturally cared very much.

However, Klein didn't care much and just nodded casually.

"I gave it!"

"You gave it so easily?"

Klein shook his head with a smile again.

"My things aren't so easy to take."

This wasn't the first time Klein had said such a thing, but every time he said such a thing, the other party would most likely be unlucky.

"Chaotic Arcane Energy is no longer just a violent effect. Its most dangerous aspect has never been its power, but its super decomposition and assimilation properties, as well as its extremely outrageous pollution.

However, the other party is a Super-Order powerhouse and must have a way to resist this pollution, but my purpose is just to make her have some concerns.

It's really naive to think that she is a Super-Order and I am in prison, so she can coerce me at will."

Klein pulled down his hood, completely hiding his face under the robe, and then said to the others:

"Okay, the next time will be our best opportunity for development. Make good use of this time and improve your strength! By the way, help me collect high-level magical beasts!"

"Your focus is on helping you collect magical beasts, right?"

"Improving oneself in battle is also very important."

Klein said insincerely.

… …

Also on the border of the Western Territory, Annabella was conducting experiments in her laboratory.

The title of Magic Golden Pig wasn't just for show. She could instantly shape her body into an orichalcum body with extremely strong magic-conducting properties.

The orichalcum body not only had almost indestructible physical defense, but also had a very powerful magic amplification effect, which was her proud ability, and the title of Magic Golden Pig came from this.

But at this time, Annabella couldn't become golden no matter what she did. She looked at her left arm with a grim face. The orichalcum body shaping was dissipating bit by bit, and the orichalcum was automatically leaving her body. No matter what she did, she couldn't merge again.

This situation originated from a magical experiment just now, an experiment about Chaotic Arcane Energy.

All the theories Klein gave her were correct, and the manufacturing method of Chaotic Arcane Energy and Arcane Dust hadn't been tampered with, but because of this, it was an open pit, luring Annabella to jump in.
