Chapter 64: Alonso

As the Mage Tower approached, Merlin could clearly feel a mysterious pressure permeating the space. Perhaps because of the experience in the last illusion, her perception has improved significantly, and she has become more sensitive to this kind of pressure...... She even had a feeling of being spied on by some kind of power, but unfortunately, although she vaguely sensed this power, she couldn't sense the source of this power at all.

Finally, the carriage arrived in front of the Mage Tower...... From the outside, any of these mage towers occupy at least five hundred square meters of territory, but the exact number of floors is not discerning. Because the shape of this wizard tower is like a straight cylinder, there is not much difference in the area between the top and bottom.

In Merlin's senses, there is a magical power on the periphery of the mage towers, which cannot be captured by human eyes, but faithfully guards these towers.

Although she didn't know how powerful this guardian power was, Mei Lin was sure that this kind of defense system composed of energy as the main body would not be too weak.

In front of this mage tower, a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old quietly looked at Merlin.

Merlin's gaze glanced at his body, and he immediately sensed that there was a faint energy fluctuation around his body, if it was judged by strength, it should be the grade of a third-level wizard apprentice.

The young man looked at it for a while, and said coldly: "Come in, the teacher is waiting upstairs." ”

"Yes. Mei Lin replied respectfully, and followed him closely into the long-awaited mage tower.

The ground floor of this mage tower is at least about 500 square meters, and there is nothing in the hall on the first floor except for a large table and a few chairs.

There were two stairs on one side of the wall, and the young man leading the way in front of him had a cold face, and Merlin didn't dare to speak rashly.

However, after going up to the second floor, Sean immediately appeared that except for the first floor, each floor was divided into several rooms, and he was keenly aware that there were faint energy fluctuations in some rooms, and the intensity of them seemed to be a little stronger than the young man who led the way.

Her heart moved slightly, it seemed that there were not many people living in a mage tower, and they all had strong strength, at least much more powerful than her own second-level apprentice.

Finally, they made their way to the fifth floor, and in a large room, they saw Alonso Verton, a third-level wizard.

This is a rather huge laboratory, and as soon as you enter the door, a spicy and sweet smell comes to your face, and the strong smell of disinfectant water makes Ling Meilin frown.

A huge table, taking up almost half of the lab, was filled with glass bottles, test tubes, beakers, and other testing equipment that Merlin was familiar with.

In front of the experimental table, there stood an old man with white hair, dressed in a white robe, with a golden collar and a pair of blue eyes, like a deep sea, unfathomable.

"I'm Alonso Verton, and I've read your information, so, Merlene, would you like to be my apprentice?" the old man asked in a relaxed tone, putting down the test tube in his hand.

"I do!" Merlin replied quickly.

"Okay, then I'll take you as a disciple!" Alonso's gaze was still solemn, "Merlin, come here, bow your head!"

Merlene bowed her head in front of Alonso, as if preparing to listen to the teachings.

"You, Merlene Grant, would you like to be a wizard?"

"I do. ”

"I, Alonso Verton, am here to bear witness to your vows. You swear that whatever you say after that will come from your heart, and you will have nothing to hide. ”

"I swear, and what I say next, will come from my own heart and hide nothing. ”

"Thou knowest that sorcery is a power, and the good use it for good, and the evil for evil. A sorcerer is a representative of spells, and spells are the highest manifestation of human intelligence. We own it on behalf of the whole of humanity and defend its heritage and majesty with our lives!"

"I swear that I am a sorcerer, and I will defend its heritage and majesty with my life!"

……

"I swear that I will appear, explore, create, write civilization, and record the truth! I will believe in myself, but I will never be blindly confident! I will always be enthusiastic, but I will remain calm! I will have the courage to try, but at the same time I will have a sense of awe!"

……

"I vow that no matter the blow or setback, whether the injury or the death, from this day forward my faith will not waver. From this day forward, I will not bow down to anyone or anything, because I seek the highest freedom, because I believe in the truth!"

"I hereby announce that you, Merlene Grant, have officially become a wizard apprentice at the Golem Academy!"

This oath was already seen by Mei Lin as soon as she entered the Golem Academy, although when she read it at the time, it was also catchy, but it felt far less exciting than at this time.

The goal of a wizard is to pursue the truth!

Yes, that's the ultimate goal of her journey!

Strength is but an accessory in the pursuit of truth.

Just as she finished reading this vow, Merlin finally made clear what she was pursuing, and her eyes became more determined than ever.

Alonso nodded, turned to the test bench, and slowly stretched out his hand...... As soon as Merlin saw the hand, she was blindfolded.

It was a pair of hands that emitted metallic light, dark in color, especially the nails of the ten fingers, just like the narrow-edged sword with a blade, and it made people feel chills when they looked at it.

"Merlin!"

Alonso's voice seemed to sound directly in his head, "You can choose, on the left is pharmacy, in the middle, I am good at alchemy, and on the right is mutation biology." ”

Merlin then saw that on the test bench, there were three things, on the left was a test tube, which contained a pale cyan liquid, on the right was a yellow agate, which was sealed with a mosquito-like creature, and in the middle was a crystal ball, which contained a shadow-like thing, which would transform into a human portrait, then into the image of various animals, and finally into the appearance of various weapons.

Merlin looked solemn, stretched out her hand, and pressed it on the crystal ball in the middle without hesitation.

"I'll pick this. She looked up at her mentor.

Suddenly, dozens of black runes flew out of the crystal ball,

Merlin was startled and reflexively retracted her hand.

The runes flying out of the crystal ball seemed to be an ancient rune known as the Tunguska Rune, which Merlin had only heard of but had never seen. Just as she was about to take a closer look, those runes suddenly disappeared into her palm, disappearing one by one, and she only felt a tingling pain all over her body, as if there were countless sharp blades destroying her body...... Immediately afterward, Merlin only felt that it was dark in front of her, and the surrounding environment changed dramatically.
