The dark curtains obscured the sunlight outside, and the smell of parchment filled the air, rich and silent. The www.biquge.info is undoubtedly the most relaxing environment for a wizard who is keen on research and solitude.

It's just that for Dalton Kander, Loren Turin, who stood in front of him with a formulaic smile on his face, could not make him feel the slightest bit relaxed.

For fifteen minutes, Dalton, who sat behind his desk, listened to him explain the whole incident as it happened. The wizard's expression also changed from unwavering at first to a little stiff, and finally returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. It's just the flickering eyes that reveal what is on his mind.

Obviously, although the whole incident was not a big problem and did not cause much impact, if it was not handled well, it might really have a big impact on the prestige of the academy - it was really a wise choice to let this wandering knight go, and if it was another apprentice, Dalton was not sure that he would be able to handle it like this.

It's a bit radical, but it doesn't matter. As long as it didn't affect Wimpal, even if Loren was bloody, he didn't have any opinion. With the exception of Wimpal and the apprentices at the Academy, any excess compassion is a luxury. Instead, he was more concerned with something else.

"Does Father Anthony know that too?"

"Of course, after all, the whole thing happened in Gumu Town, and he wouldn't let me go if I didn't say it. Luo Xian nodded of course, and then pulled the corners of his mouth slightly upturned: "But what I told him is another version of the 'truth'." ”

"In short, a group of mutated ghouls appeared outside of Gumwood, and I found them with the help of Priest Draco and tracked them all the way. Eventually they were dealt with in the hut by the lake - but sadly, Priest Draco was killed by ghouls, and I couldn't protect him. ”

"He believes it?"

"Of course not. I also added a few small details, but none of them mattered. Loren said calmly: "The most important thing is that such a result is the most suitable." Everything was an accident, and there was no conspiracy involved. ”

Dalton hesitated for a moment, and quickly nodded slightly: "Your choice is very sensible. ”

Loren shrugged his shoulders...... This was the version that he had been thinking about for a long time - in the beginning, he was going to call Draco a heinous evil wizard or heretic, so as not only to remove the suspicion of the Academy, but also to disgust Father Anthony, so that he would not dare to continue to trouble the Academy.

However, Loren soon abandoned the plan. For someone like Anthony, who hates wizards from the bottom of his heart, such a result may have the opposite effect, making him even more resistant to the existence of the Academy. Maybe he will continue to make things for no reason for the sake of face, which would be contrary to his original intention from the beginning.

So, while this will not change anything in the end, it will at least make a potential catastrophe disappear. He successfully solved the problem of Gumu Town, and everything has nothing to do with the academy, and he has nothing to blame.

Wimpal Academy does not have much confidence in front of the Holy Cross Church at all, and once it is really entangled, it will definitely be a complete defeat. Therefore, his task is not only to solve the problem, but also to resolve all the situations that may threaten the Academy, so that the Church or any other forces will not trouble the Academy.

"I must admit that your efficiency is beyond my expectations. After a moment of silence, Dalton continued, "No wizard can handle it better than you. ”

"Thank you for the compliment. Loren tried to make himself smile more naturally: "I am honored by your compliment. ”

"I'm just stating the facts. Dalton reverted to his old coldness: "Your work has proven its worth and is worth the Academy's continued efforts." ”

"With that said, I have a reluctant request. Loren suddenly spoke, "My sword was broken by that wizard, can you help me fix it—it's more or less a souvenir, and I don't want to throw it away yet." ”

"There are blacksmith shops in the villages and towns outside the college. Dalton raised an eyebrow: "If you need to, the laboratory in the tower can also meet your needs." ”

Well, it seems that you can't count on free anymore...... Loren, a little regretful, turned around and prepared to leave. You must know that repairing a sword will cost at least four silver coins, and after returning from Gumu Town, he no longer has a few dollars in his pocket.

Maybe I should take advantage of my studies to find work around, but guarding a wizarding academy, and it's free of charge, I'm afraid the nearby villagers don't need to spend much money to hire people.

"Before you leave......" Loren's right hand had just grasped the doorknob when Dalton's cold voice came from behind him: "Remember, 'Beyond Perception' is different from other high-level spells, don't try to use it against other spells, you will die without a place to die." ”

Retracting his right hand, Loren's smiling somewhat stiff face turned unnaturally.

"I didn't instruct Isaac to teach you this spell, but...... It should be tantamount to acquiescence. Dalton Candle said coldly, "Now it seems like a wise choice." ”

How did he know? Loren's mind immediately raised doubts, but he immediately put this nonsense behind him...... There is no point in thinking about this now, the key is what the other party wants to express.

"You chose Spellscience, and I'm your mentor. Probably sensing Loren's expression, Dalton snorted coldly, "Considering the prestige of the academy and myself, I must train you to be a qualified spellcaster. ”

"So the first step is to correct your perception of high-level spells - first of all, the vast majority of wizards' spiritual temples can't withstand too much of the invasion of Void power, so most of them can only fully master one or two high-level magic, and more often rely on chanting spells to cast spells. ”

"But considering the difference between your physique and that of a normal person, the magic you can learn is probably beyond that number. Dalton paused: "Then, 'Beyond Perception' is a very special spell that works with the body and allows the body to bear the load of mental power, so it doesn't need a wand. ”

"If it were any other high-level spell, your head would have been shattered. "The common way is to use magic with the help of some kind of instrument, most of them a wand, to share most of the loads that the body cannot bear. ”

"So, you need a wand more than a sword now. ”

After a long silence, Loren lowered his head: "Thank you for the reminder, Mentor. ”

Loren was sincere in what he said—not just because he thanked Dalton for telling him this, but because he didn't have to tell himself in the first place. Loren could feel that under the other party's cold tone, he was indeed thinking about himself and considering.

Loren cherishes this very much. In this strange world, there are people who give for themselves sincerely, even if it is only for a moment, it is extremely precious.

"What you should really be thankful for is yourself. A temple of tenacity enough to keep you from becoming a madman under the load of high-level spells. There was not a hint of emotion on Dalton's face: "But it's because the magic of 'transcendent perception' takes more of the load off the whole body. ”

"As a spellcaster, your mental strength is completely unqualified, far from the standard level - so this is my suggestion, find a suitable opportunity to enter the void, and probe as much as possible to hone your own mental strength while ensuring your sanity. For a spellcaster, mental strength is everything to you. ”

"It is true that the vast majority of spellcasters can only stay at the stage of conjuring magic. But you're my apprentice, and I won't allow that to happen. ”

Dalton wasn't a talkative person, so after saying that, he closed his eyes and started meditating. Loren, who understood, took the initiative to push open the door and left the silent study.

"With all due respect, Mentor Dalton. ”
