Time passed day by day, and the atmosphere in the academy was a little depressing because of the loss of more than thirty wizard apprentices at once.

Although the competition between the apprentices is also fierce, who can not have a few friends to talk to? Not to mention the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, this road is not an easy road, and who dares to guarantee that the next victim will not be himself? Even those teachers who are plain and indifferent have become more silent.

At this time, the Golem Academy was as if it was shrouded in a layer of silent enchantment, although there were still people coming and going in the academy, but it was surprisingly not noisy, everyone was in a hurry, and the atmosphere of learning and cultivation was unprecedentedly rich. However, the school's mission area and trading area are becoming more popular, and even Mei Lin's business is getting better.

There are a lot of magic stones in the inheritance of the Omas family, and Merlin is not a loss in this regard, but for wizards, whether it is magic stones or various spells and experimental materials, it is never enough, but Merlin's current goal is more long-term, taking the high-precision route, and the general public goods can no longer meet her needs.

It must be admitted that the loss of more than thirty third-level academies at a time was still quite a big blow to the Golem Academy. However, according to the investigation after the fact, in this secret realm trial, several other academies of the Wizarding Alliance also suffered heavy losses, and they were not under the Golem Academy. Some of the elders of the Witch Alliance have proposed that in the future secret realm trials, it is necessary to absolutely prohibit the fight between apprentices, otherwise it will have a significant impact on the future development of the entire Witch Alliance, after all, every third-level apprentice is a future wizard seed.

Of course, with Merlin's current identity and strength. She didn't need to worry about this level of consideration, and Mei Linshuang returned to the monotonous life of the previous time, going to the mentor every day to cooperate with the experiment. Learning experience.

Merlin felt that she had not changed much, and because of the extra layer of secrets on her body, she felt very low-key, but in front of others, the aura on her body was even brighter.

In the past, after becoming a disciple of Dean Alonso, among the apprentices, even there were people who hated her. On the surface, it is also very courteous. However, since returning from the secret realm, she has gained a sense of power out of thin air...... This doesn't just mean that her cultivation has improved. And it's obviously because of the evil aura accumulated by the killing.

Homicide!

Only between the fight between people will this kind of evil spirit be formed, and some of the apprentices who had befriended her in the past all felt a little trembling in front of her at this time. Some of the other apprentices met her elsewhere in the academy. They all saluted from afar, making Merlin wonder if there was something wrong with her.

What's even more exaggerated is that when she saluted the formal wizards on the way, she received a rare polite response - this is remarkable, in the wizarding world, strength represents status, and these mentors who used to have nostrils to the sky are now clearly leading her to the same kind.

But think about it. It doesn't seem to be a surprise either.

Putting aside Murong Xianxian's identity, Mei Lin has fifth-class qualifications. Before the age of twenty, he had already become a third-class apprentice, and he had shown extremely high attainments in both magic and alchemy, and if he had the opportunity not to make friends now, it would be too late in the future.

Don't think that wizards are all nerds who are diligently seeking on the road to explore, they are actually not weaker than ordinary people in terms of human relations, but they pay more attention to the equivalent exchange of interests, and it is difficult for them to be tempted by things without benefits.

Whether others pay attention or not, Merlin doesn't care very much, because she really doesn't have time.

On the one hand, she's strengthening her body. You must know that a wizard's body can only withstand the impact and baptism of powerful energy to ensure that the promotion can be successfully completed. Moreover, in the promotion from the first level to the third level, her body has also been somewhat negatively affected, and she must find a way to eradicate it before the official promotion, otherwise even if it will not affect her promotion to the official wizard, it will cause irreversible damage to her future development.

On the other hand, she greedily absorbed all kinds of knowledge about how a third-level apprentice could advance to a full-fledged mage.

In the wizarding world, all kinds of advanced knowledge are monopolized. For example, the intermediate meditation method is only inherited in some large academies, while the advanced meditation method is monopolized by the high-level and it is difficult to reach a inheritance agreement.

"Merlin, come to me. ”

On this day, Merlin had just finished an experiment when she received a call from Alonso.

"Mentor, I'm here. Merlene stood behind Alonso, who was doing the experiment, and said respectfully.

"Wait a minute. Alonso didn't turn around immediately, but continued with the last step of the experiment before turning around and looking at it with a satisfied expression.

Although this disciple is young, her qualifications are relatively good among several disciples, and she is also the earliest to be promoted to a third-level apprentice, which means that she has more time to squander than other third-level apprentices...... Not a waste, of course.

"You're already preparing to become a full-fledged wizard, aren't you?" Alonso asked.

"Yes, Mentor. I'm preparing. Merlin didn't hide it, and replied respectfully.

"According to the rules, I will pass on part of it to you. But not all knowledge is free from time to time, if you are willing to serve the academy for a hundred years or join the Verton family, then the knowledge, meditation methods, and resources related to promotion are not a problem......"

Merlin looked like she was listening, but she had already answered in the negative.

There is no doubt that if she agrees with Alonso's advice, she may save herself a lot of trouble, but again, her freedom is shackled, either to the academy or to the family. Although there is a clear time limit, time is not actually an issue, the important event itself. It is intolerable for shamans to prevent their search for the truth, or to restrain their free will. Making a compromise is in itself a failure in the baptism of the soul.

"Mentor, you know, I'm still young and I still have plenty of time, and I want to try other paths. Merlin politely rejected Alonso's offer.

Alonso wasn't angry, it was supposed to be an exchange of interests, he just took a deep look at Merlin, nodded, and asked her to go back.

Back in her room, Merlin fell into deep thought.

Mentor Alonso was actually a temptation this time, and she didn't know what else she would encounter...... Marriage?

This may be an embarrassing problem for all female wizards, but if Alonso speaks again next time, it will not be a temptation, and if he refuses, God knows what will happen.

She pulled out an old map from her storage bag, the one Ingram had gotten.

"Ingram, looks like we should take a trip. Merlin muttered. (To be continued.) )
