"If it's for Amy, it should be made into a mage's staff that can smash giant dragons at close range and summon fireballs when retreating!" Crassus said seriously.
"Bullshit! A magic wand should be small and elegant, and can be easily tucked into a sleeve. That's the standard for a mage. You go out everyday with a cane, as if you're afraid people won't know that you have a problem with your legs?" Yulian said with a sneer, his hoarse voice rising a few decibels to strongly express his dissatisfaction.
"Hmph, with your chopstick-like magic wand, if a goblin gets close to you, you probably can't even beat it." Crassus said to Yulian with a hint of sarcasm.
"The only one who could get close to that thing is you. As a mage, you fight like a monkey, jumping around like that. You're an insult to the title of mage, a disgrace to the mage world!" Yulian retorted without holding back.
"Hmph!"
"Hmph!"
The two glared at each other, simultaneously letting out a cold snort. Their auras continued to escalate, and their gazes seemed to spark with each other, threatening to erupt into a fight at the slightest provocation.
The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became tense, and even Sally stopped in her tracks, watching with some apprehension.
Mai Ge watched with some concern. After all, if the two great mages were to fight, the system's level three defense would be no match for them. But when he looked at Amy standing in the middle, he couldn't help but laugh and cry. This girl really wasn't afraid of things getting out of hand.
"Masters, fighting is not allowed in the restaurant. If you fight, Amy will get angry, and if I get angry, I won't talk to you two anymore." Amy said seriously to the two of them.
"Little Amy, look how beautiful Master's mage staff is! If you want it, I'll make you a blue purple mage staff out of purple-blue gold, and attach a beast crystal of a level nine magical beast, the Purple-Eyed Beast to it. It'll be purple too." Crassus first withdrew his imposing aura, then looked at Amy with a tempting smile.
"All purple? Amy loves purple the most!" Amy's eyes lit up immediately.
"Little Amy, look how small and cute Master's magic wand is! It can even retract! It's not bulky at all, you can easily put it in your pocket. It won't get in the way when you play with other children. Otherwise, how can you play with other children while carrying a mage staff?" Yulian slid a black magic wand about ten centimeters long from his sleeve, gave it a gentle twist, and it immediately sprang into two sections, becoming a magic wand about thirty centimeters long. With a gentle press, it reverted to its small size.
"Wow, this is great too! I love playing with other kids, and I don't want to be carrying around a big stick all the time." Amy's eyes were already sparkling as she looked at the little magic wand in Yulian's hand.
"That's right, this is the kind of magic wand a little girl should use. In the future, it will slide out of your sleeve, and with a gentle flick, it will turn into a magic wand. Other children will definitely be very envious." Yulian nodded with a smile, looking confident.
"He was prepared all along, shameless!" Crassus stared at the shrinking magic wand in Yulian's hand, feeling a little anxious. It was probably unrealistic to subdue Yulian in a short time, so he could only start with Amy.
However, the mage's staff is only so long to begin with, and it's best if it's solid so that it won't break during melee combat if she has enough strength.
"But it can't be too small either. If I learned the magic of Master Half Beard and used such a small magic wand to hit the giant dragon's head, it probably wouldn't hurt at all." Amy stared at the magic wand in Yulian's hand for a while, then shook her head.
"So what exactly do you want?"
Crassus and Yulian asked simultaneously, their expressions somewhat conflicted. Their precious disciple's demands were truly difficult to satisfy. She wanted something both small and exquisite, yet capable of striking a giant dragon—both large and small, how could that be possible!
"I want… a magic wand that's only as long as my palm when it's small, and as tall as me when I make it bigger. Ideally, it should also be able to turn into a long sword, and into a big broom when I want to fly…" Amy said seriously, paused for a moment, and nodded, "That's all I ask for."
"That's all?" Yulian and Crassus's expressions immediately became somewhat strange. To conjure so many variations from a magic wand the size of a palm—was that really just a small request? This was practically driving her masters crazy!
"Masters, isn't it super easy?" Amy asked the two expectantly.
Seeing Amy's expectant gaze, the two hesitated for a moment, exchanged a glance, and then nodded together, forcing a smile, saying, "Yes, it's... quite simple."
"So, can you two really make it for Amy? A purple one, a really pretty purple one!" Amy said happily.
"I can understand the first two points, but why hide a sword inside the mage's staff? And why does it turn into a big broom when you want to fly?" Crassus asked Amy, looking somewhat puzzled.
Mai Ge raised an eyebrow. He knew perfectly well why Amy had made this request, but he hadn't expected her to say it in front of Crassus and Yulian. If they found out he was going to teach Amy swordsmanship, it would expose him.
"That way, Amy can pretend to be a female knight, and they'll never guess I'm actually a mage. And don't witches all have big brooms? I saw those painted on the walls outside the school building." Amy nodded seriously.
"…"
Crassus and Yulian were both speechless.
"Do you really need both of them?" Crassus asked again.
"If I could only choose one, I'd rather not have the broom." Amy hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly gave up one.
A magic wand, a mage's staff, a long sword... three completely different things, all to be integrated into a small stick the length of a palm. Crassus and Yulian both fell into silence and deep thought.
"Masters, can't you make it?" Amy stood quietly for a while, her expression a little disappointed, but she still comforted them, "That's okay, Amy only needs a regular magic wand."
"Who said that? I will definitely make a satisfactory mage staff for Amy." Crassus stood up and looked at Amy seriously.
"Don't worry, you can leave it to master." Yulian stood up and nodded solemnly.
"Yes, I trust my masters! Masters are the best!" Amy's eyes lit up again as she held up the things in her hands, saying, "Then this big boar tusk and the purple eagle eye…"
"Keep it for fun. The materials from level two or three magical beasts are too poor, they're more suitable for making toys. I'll go back and figure out how to make it." Crassus smiled, shook his head, and turned to walk out the door.
"I'll go and see how to do it too." Yulian said, getting up and following Crassus out the door.
"Goodbye, Master Half Beard, Master Turtle Shell." Amy said to their retreating figures.
"Old Hunchback, it seems we have no choice but to cooperate this time." Crassus said, stopping at the door and turning to Yulian.
