Peter smiled and looked at the apprentice who was bowing to him, and the gesture showed a respectful gesture, but it was only an objective description. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But actually...... The obsidian-like eyes hidden under the mess of hair were far more profound than the appearance he had made, perfectly hiding all his feelings and heart, as innocent as if he were really just an ordinary apprentice.

Peter still remembers the first time he met Loren in Dalton's study, he looked like an adult when he spoke, he could clearly understand his position, and he could not fall behind in front of Dalton, that humble and polite appearance, it was impossible for people to imagine that he was just a squire before.

"We've met before, maybe you don't remember. ”

"That's my pleasure. Loren replied with a smile, and then quickly recalled any scenes where the old man might have appeared, but it didn't seem to be, and his face was still a little scared.

"I was in Dalton's room the day you first came to Wimpal. Peter said kindly, "I have to admit that I am indeed very curious about you. ”

So the dean was in that room that day? I see...... So the reason why I didn't let myself in in the first place was to discuss what to do with myself?

This was not surprising to him, it was obvious that Dalton was very authoritative in this academy, but it was probably beyond his right to accept a stranger like himself and become an apprentice of the academy. Without the dean's approval, I'm afraid he wouldn't even see him.

"Don't be too restricted, I'm a casual person. Smiling and sitting down, Peter said in an unquestioning tone. A simple hovering spell "pressed" Loren to his chair as well: "I'm sorry, it took so long to actually meet you, and at this time. ”

"You're so kind, I ......"

"No, I'm serious, I approve of Dalton's arrangement, but that doesn't mean I'll turn a blind eye to your efforts. The old man sighed and said in a slightly helpless tone, "You are just an apprentice, but we have made you bear too many burdens, whether it is Wild Dog Village or Gumu Town. ”

What exactly was the Dean going to say? Pondering the hint in the other party's words, Loren was a little confused. But judging from the tone of the other party, it seems that he wants to win his trust.

"And, handing you over to Dalton is also my decision—a very selfish one, because from the bottom of my heart, I don't want an outsider to break the existing peace and order of the Academy, even if you do a lot for the Academy. There was a hint of regret in Peter's tone: "I don't want you to hold a grudge against the academy because of this. ”

"You're completely overthinking, Lord Dean. Loren also tried to let the other party let his guard down, winking and smiling: "It's a total honor for me to be able to be an apprentice to Dalton's mentor. And I know my place very well, and I will do my best to complete all the tasks assigned to me by the Academy. ”

Peter sighed slightly, and the more Loren showed indifference, the more he could perceive that the other party was deliberately perfunctory, so that Peter felt that he was facing a completely different Dalton Kand.

"You look like you've got a problem. Peter changed the subject: "Let me guess that this blackboard must have been written by Isaac Grantham?"

Loren nodded slightly, and gave up his position to the old man: "We were going to design a wand-like weapon, but after testing, we found that it was ......"

"This stuff is far beyond your level. The old man blinked: "Isaac is indeed very talented, and his ability to deduce this step is enough to prove his qualifications." ”

"All you need is some guidance and guidance. Without further ado, Peter added a few strokes to the blackboard: "I hope you don't think I'm meddling with this old thing, because this idea is so interesting, I can't help but want to see what the end result looks like!"

"Also, don't tell Isaac about this, that kid is too conceited, and if he knows that I helped, it will definitely hit him hard. Peter winked at Loren, "It's a secret between the two of us, what do you think?"

"Absolutely. Loren nodded understandingly: "I'll tell him that he made it before he left yesterday, but he didn't find it himself." ”

With Isaac's level of self-righteousness, he would definitely not doubt it, and I am afraid that it would be taken for granted.

"But speaking of Isaac, he was actually the first to take the initiative to run to Wimpal Academy and want to become a wizard's apprentice. The corners of the old man's eyes showed the lines of memory, "He came from a village south of the academy, and when he came to the academy, he was penniless. ”

His parents were peasants, and he was a devout believer in the Holy Cross, and more importantly, he simply had no money to support his education. The old man suddenly laughed: "But Dalton gave him a chance to work as a librarian and memorize all the books in the library for a month." ”

"I see...... Loren nodded thoughtfully, "I guess he didn't spend a month at all, right?"

"It only took him three days, and the first two days were still literate. Then Dalton and I realized that perhaps the crowning achievement of Wimpal in the future would be the highest achievement that Isaac Grantham could achieve. ”

"In order to protect him, I did not hand him over to any other mentor, but left Dalton in charge, so that Isaac could be kept from the rest of his apprentices from criticism or interference. ”

This is somewhat understandable - this era is different from the world you used to be, and your background often determines everything. Even Isaac himself, who never spoke of his family, speaks volumes.

However, Loren found out another thing, whether it was himself or Isaac, it was for some special reason that he had to become Dalton's apprentice, what was the reason for the little wizard Ain Rand?

Loren felt more and more curious.

"Whether it's you, or Isaac or Ain, you all have secrets that you can't keep known, but these things shouldn't be a burden to you. Peter pushed his somewhat ridiculous monolithic eyes: "The more lonely a person is, the more he should trust his friends instead of beware of them." Give it a try, and you won't be disappointed. ”

"Thank you for your teachings. Loren bowed his head solemnly: "I will never forget." ”

"Hopefully, you can really find friends that you can absolutely trust. The old man smiled and was about to get up and leave, but suddenly stopped: "Ah...... I heard you're trying to study the occult and the void, haven't you?"

"Just a little curious. Loren smiled slightly: "Of all the things I've seen about the Void so far, none of them have described its existence in detail, so it's inevitable that there will be some doubts. ”

"No one can really understand it, and you can't 'understand' it. Peter suddenly said something meaningful: "The void is never simple enough to be described, let alone explained. ”

Can't "understand", let alone explain?, the old man's words made Loren think thoughtfully. I've seen it before, and I've mentioned that the void "exists because it doesn't exist", which seems to imply something.

Is it reminding yourself that the void is not really a shapely descriptive being, but a completely abstract concept?

By the time he came to his senses, the old man had already left. After a moment of silence, he seemed to understand why the other party had to meet him.

Loren couldn't help but smile, somewhat disdainful.

Wholeheartedly believe in others, to believe in another individual who is absolutely not fully sure of himself, to believe that the other person will put himself and not themselves first when considering problems, and will not betray himself under absolutely favorable conditions?

Well...... That's just against human nature, isn't it?
