My Endless Life

The arrival of the second princess, Ilona, ​​not only made Derien's heart sink, but also made Li Qi feel a little nervous.

He had thought that a professor would come to investigate the situation, and he had also thought that Derien would ask him why he released such powerful magic.

And in order to make his words more convincing, Li Qi also raised his apparent magic level to level three.

When I really asked about it, I said that I had just acquired the third-level magic power and wanted to try the third-level magic fireball technique, so I used the magic orb to release it.

I didn't expect it would turn out like this.

At the same time, in order to ensure that it was foolproof, Li Qi also destroyed the internal structure of the orb to ensure that no one could imitate the orb.

So much has been done, all that remains is to answer Derien's questions.

But he didn't expect that the second princess Ilona would appear here.

It was so late, why was she still staying in the academy?

Li Qi hid behind Derien, as if he was a little transparent and said nothing.

Derien held the orb made by Li Qi in his hand, looked at the second princess and asked:

"Why is Your Highness here?"

"Oh, come here to see my brother. I was planning to leave, but I didn't expect to see something interesting."

Ilona walked up to Derien, stared at the magic orb in his hand, and asked:

"Is this your improved magic orb, Professor? Does the explosion just now have anything to do with it?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just that I was experimenting with an explosive magic item, and the experiment failed. If nothing happens to you, Your Highness, you'd better leave as soon as possible. The military... still needs you."

Derion remained calm.

He didn't push Li Qi out and said it was Li Qi who did this.

After all, it remains to be studied whether this orb was made by Li Qi, and even if it was made by Li Qi, Derien would not let him appear in the sight of the second princess.

Li Qi is a magic genius, and he must not be allowed to get involved in messy things.

Derion's words seemed to mean something.

The current international situation is not optimistic. Ilona is a military marshal. The place she should be at is the military headquarters, not staring at Derien in the academy.

Derion vaguely meant to mock Ilona for not doing her job properly, but Ilona responded calmly:

"It is precisely because they need me that I am here, Professor. The soldiers on the front line need orbs to resist the invasion of Ship and Uno. They need you more than me."

"No need to put a high hat on me! As I said before, magic guides can only be combined with wands! Combined with firearms, it is a complete heresy!"

Derion shouted angrily.

Ilona's expression remained unchanged: "If you can make magic more powerful than the enemy's magic bullets, and make the range of magic exceed the range of firearms, or even further!

"Then it doesn't matter whether you combine it with the wand or turn the magic orb into a new wand, I don't care!"

She said, looking at the broken magic device in Derien's hand again.

"..." Noticing Ilona's gaze, Derien also looked at the magic device. He subconsciously looked back at Li Qi.

And this glance also caught Ilona's attention.

She finally turned her attention to Li Qi, looked at the strange young man in front of her, and suddenly changed the subject and asked:

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, who is this...?"

"His name is Kiri, Julie's student. I am responsible for teaching him alchemy. Kiri, come and say hello to Her Royal Highness."

Before Li Qi responded, Derien answered on his behalf.

Li Qi knew that Derien was protecting him. He lowered his head slightly and stepped forward to say hello to Ilona:

"See Your Highness."

Unexpectedly, after Li Qi said hello, Ilona said thoughtfully:

"Kili...oh, you're that Kiri."

"?" Li Qi was slightly shocked: "Your Highness, do you know me?"

"I don't know you, but I know Mary who was defeated by you."

Ilona explained.

Mary's father, Grand Duke Mills, was a subordinate of Ilona.

Grand Duke Mills is a daughter-in-law. Every time he drinks coffee with Ilona, ​​he will talk about his daughter's recent experiences in casual chat.

The last time she had a chat with Archduke Mills, Ilona heard him complain that her daughter challenged a young man named Kiri every day and focused on magic every day, and even ignored him as a father.

This made Grand Duke Mills want to find someone to teach this young man named Kiri a lesson for Mary.

If Mary hadn't said that she would break off all relations with him if he dared to do this, Archduke Mills might have really done this.

It was precisely because of this that Ilona remembered Kiri, the boy who haunted Mary's dreams.

I didn't expect to meet him here.

"..."

What can I say?

Hearing Ilona's explanation, Li Qi was extremely speechless.

He never thought that he would leave an impression in front of the second princess Ilona in this way.

With a silly smile on his face, Li Qi said:

"Your Highness is laughing. It's just a fluke that I can win against Miss Mary."

"Mary is a third-level demon knight. You are probably not older than her, right? Being able to defeat her and become a twelve-star can't be said to be a fluke."

Ilona said seriously.

Seeing that the two of them seemed to want to continue chatting, Derien couldn't help but coughed dryly:

"Well, Your Highness, it's very late. If you have nothing to do, just go back. I still want to teach Kiri alchemy."

Interrupted by Derien, Ilona stopped chatting.

She turned around and said to Derien seriously:

"Professor, whether it was your 'magic device' that caused the explosion just now, or a new magic item, we still need it. If you think clearly, please hand over the relevant technology to the Magic Academy as soon as possible.

"You must know that if you hesitate for even one more day, hundreds or even thousands more soldiers will die on the front line."

"..."

"Professor, I know that most magicians look down on ordinary people, but now it is these ordinary people who can protect us from the invasion of enemy countries. Professor... think about it carefully."

At the end of the day, Ilona said no more.

She gave a magician salute to Derien, turned around and left.

Derien looked at Ilona's back, clutching the broken magic device tightly in his hand, and remained silent for a long time.

…

After leaving Derien, Ilona did not look for Amy and Dio again.

She left the academy directly and got on the carriage back to the headquarters.

In the carriage, Ilona thought for a while and said to the adjutant beside her:

"Go back and ask the Intelligence Department to help me investigate a person."

"Who?" The young man with short black hair raised his head and asked.

"His name is Kiri. He seems to be Professor Julie's student. Go back and check for me."

Ilona spoke softly, but as soon as she finished speaking, she heard the adjutant say:

"Oh, it turned out to be him."

Raising her eyebrows slightly, Ilona asked in surprise: "Do you know him?"

"Of course I know that the magic genius who replaced Miss Mary is now the tenth seat of the Twelve Stars. The genius who has become an official magician from an ordinary person in just three months. The name of Kiri Flores is among the students. Very well-known in the group.”

"Flores? He is from the Flores family? Judging from his hair color...it doesn't look like him."

"It is said... that he was originally a civilian. Professor Derien allowed him to join the Flores family because of his protection. Of course, this is just a rumor."

The adjutant answered again.

Ilona thought for a moment and said:

"Ask the Intelligence Department to give me his information as soon as possible. I have a hunch that today's explosion may not be caused by Professor Derien alone."

In fact, Ilona didn't think so at first.

But when she saw that Derien cared so much about the boy named Kiri, she realized that something was wrong.

Derion's favorite disciple is Joe Lar, the fourth seat of the Twelve Stars and a third-level magister.

Derien usually doesn't bring students with him when he conducts experiments. Even if he brings a student with him, it can only be his favorite student Qiao.

But in his personal training ground just now, Derien did not bring his favorite disciple, but instead brought an unknown young man with him.

This is enough to prove that there is something wrong with the young man's identity.

"Could he be the professor's illegitimate son... haha."

Ilona thought a little bit wickedly.

Of course, it was just a casual thought. After all, Kiri and Derien looked nothing alike.

Well, it means that Derien is ugly and cannot give birth to a beautiful child like Kiri.
