Chapter 541

The young mages in the army felt their blood boiling from excitement. None of them thought anything about maids before until they saw his act. Seeing him act so arrogant made them yearn for the same thing.

These mages told themselves that they would get their own maid once they returned. Thus, their morale for victory increased to another level.

“I will start my lecture now. This will be about increasing your mana purity. It will be very beneficial for High Mages and somewhat help the Arch Mages here,” Lawrend said.

The mages gulped and waited for his lecture eagerly. Most of them were graduates from the Mage Academy and naturally knew that his next words would be priceless.

“The way mana exists in nature is with all elements combined. More fire mana would be there in a place with a high fire affinity, but that doesn’t mean mana from the other elements is nonexistent. It simply makes it easy for a fire mage to purify that mana.

“Thus, how do you effectively purify mana? You separate them according to their elements. By understanding this property, you are able to use countless methods to separate them. For example, I discard lightning mana that doesn’t exert the properties it should be…”

Lawrend’s lecture continued for several hours. The mages in the army were engrossed in his words. The Arch Mages thought this lecture wouldn’t be helpful to them, but the more they listened, the more they realized that their understanding of mana purification was subpar.

That included the three envoys. Things they couldn’t understand about mana purification became as clear as spring water. Their doubts cleared, allowing them to connect the dots in other theories they couldn’t comprehend before.

Ember felt aroused at the start because of what they did earlier, but it all disappeared. An earnest learner replaced it, and she took his lesson in like a dry sponge.

“Ah! So that’s how the Centrifugal Mana Purification Technique works!” Otor exclaimed in shock.

“If any of you have any questions, you may write them on a piece of paper. My maid here will collect them and select the most asked one,” Lawrend said to the mages.

None of them moved as they were still in a daze from his lecture. Their minds were thinking about different ways they could use to purify their own mana.

“I did it!”

Suddenly, a High Mage in the crowd exerted a powerful Arch Mage aura. His pure mana washed through the army and woke them up from their daze.

“Damn! I was about to become an Arch Mage, but you disturbed it!” a High Mage cursed.

He was so close to doing it, but he was disturbed at the most important moment.

That wasn’t the end. Two more High Mages exerted the pure mana of an Arch Mage.

“Sh*t! I should’ve kept my focus!” the High Mage that got angry was regretful.

The two High Mages that became Arch Mages ignored the disturbances and managed to reach a higher level. If only he did the same, he would be like that.

Alas, there was no medicine for regrets. The High Mage missed the optimum moment to become an Arch Mage. Other High Mages were in the same position as him. All of them sighed at their shortsightedness.

“Congratulations!”

The army erupted into a clamor and congratulated the three new Arch Mages.

“Thank you. I have been stuck at this level for so long. Reaching this level was all thanks to His Majesty,” one of the new Arch Mages said and bowed to Lawrend.

The three new Arch Mages bowed at the same time. They all realized the difference between them and a supreme genius like his majesty. They were very grateful to him.

“Mm. There are ten thousand of you here. If all of you can become Arch Mages, that will truly make me happy,” Lawrend said.

The mages turned to each other in shock. None of them could imagine the army’s might once they all became Arch Mages. They would be able to trample any other army they meet on the battlefield.

“Put your questions here,” Ember said and stepped forward.

She carried a small box in her hands. The mages finally remembered Lawrend’s words. Some of them didn’t have any paper, so they asked the others.

Soon, the box was full of them.

“Now it’s the turn of you three,” Lawrend said and looked at the three envoys.

They humbly nodded their heads at him and stepped up beside Lawrend.

“Ehem. I’m Julianne Desert. This is Otor Forest and Gregory Beer. We three will teach all of you powerful combination formations.”

Otor unrolled a large blank white paper, and Julianne started scribbling on it and drawing weird shapes. These shapes were formations. By making them, one would be able to challenge an Earth Mage using numbers.

The mages didn’t know who they were, but they still earnestly listened.

Their lecture wasn’t comparable to Lawrend’s, but it opened the eyes of the mages. They didn’t expect there to be a way to combine their mana together to challenge a much more powerful foe.

The Trunden Empire was still an empire. The Undrasil Kingdom might have a lot of Arch Mages and High Mages, but it still couldn’t compare to a behemoth.

The empire was built through wars and conquest. Their techniques were suitable for armies and joint attacks, unlike the Undrasil Kingdom, which focused on personal spells.

The three envoys ended the lecture after the sun fell. Lawrend listened throughout the whole lecture.

He now had some basic ideas to create his own formation. He was severely inferior to them in this subject at the start. Of course, he improved crazily as he listened.

It would take a long time to create one, but he might be able to create one just before their battle with his current growing intelligence.

Lawrend returned to the inn with Ember. She immediately prepared a bath for him and meditated on the bed.
