With the breeze blowing in from the window and the warm morning sunshine, Loren, who sat outside Dalton's study and changed into a wizard's robe, closed his sleep and enjoyed the early morning of this beautiful day, and by the way, he once again entered a meditative state. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After building your own spiritual temple, it seems to be a natural thing, as easy as breathing, and without much preparation, the spiritual consciousness can be transformed between waking and meditation anytime and anywhere.

It's also a great way to rest - after the spiritual temple, the consciousness doesn't feel its own presence, and the sense of time is erased, so Loren basically only needs to meditate once or twice a day, and then he doesn't need extra sleep to replenish his lack of energy.

This also explained Loren's previous doubts about the little wizard - how could this skinny, small fellow still be so energetic after five days and five nights of running around?

"It seems that you have completed the initial practice and can meditate normally. ”

Dalton Kander's cold, knife-like voice interrupted Loren's thoughts, and Loren, who slowly smiled, stood up and calmly bowed to the black-robed wizard in front of him.

"Mentor. ”

The black-robed wizard who heard the other party call himself couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, as if he remembered the prophecy of a certain "proud protégé", and then hurriedly threw this terrible curse out of his spiritual hall.

"In the spirit of being responsible to the Academy, I have come to terms with the fact that you have become my apprentice. Dalton Kander's gaze was even colder than before: "But you have to understand my requirements and standards for apprentices. ”

"Isaac Grantham has already conveyed it to me. Loren bowed his head humbly and said, but he also smiled humbly, "You are very strict with your apprentices, if I don't meet your standards, I will definitely not be able to continue with you, right?"

"No, I'm not strict with my apprentices. Dalton's straight body was like a dark shadow: "But I only train wizards, not jugglers, Mr. Daoxue, and fortune-telling liars!"

Well, Loren did know where Isaac learned the term "fortune teller", and it was a surprise.

"Second, if you don't meet the standards, of course you don't stay with me. Dalton's eyes were full of acerbic mockery: "You have to fuck off, Lord Loren Turin." ”

"Then I'll do my best to meet the standards you need. Loren responded politely: "With your teachings, I will definitely become a qualified wizard." ”

"Mastering meditation in one day isn't enough to make you pretentious, apprentice!" the black-robed wizard snorted coldly, "Arrogance is the source of depravity. You have to be humble in the face of vanity. ”

As for the fact that the average apprentice at Wimpal Academy is to master meditation in two months, Dalton naturally couldn't tell Loren - if he could, the black-robed wizard would prefer to make him die of shame as soon as possible, and stop the idea of becoming a wizard, lest a prophecy really come true.

Seeing that the wandering knight was still smiling calmly, Dalton still focused on the sheepskin scroll in his hand, and waved the cane in his right hand slightly, and a blackboard fell from the original window.

"Take good notes, apprentice. I'll test your level later!" Dalton, who had regained his composure, reverted back to his original form: "I'm looking forward to catching evidence of your laziness." ”

As if he hadn't heard the other party's threat, by the time Dalton's words fell, he had already opened the scroll and lifted the quill, his pure eyes seemed to say, "I'm waiting for you."

Dalton ignored his childish "means of resistance", and the chalk in his right hand slammed the blackboard, leaving a string of ornate italics in a swift and powerful way.

Whether or not the two men really have a bad feeling for each other, Loren has to admit that Dalton Kander is truly impeccable in his position as a mentor. The other party did not deliberately raise the difficulty in order to embarrass himself, but explained in detail the basic occult, the principles of spells and spells, and the connection between ancient runes and the void.

And Dalton's line-by-line analysis and explanation also corrected the "wrong information" that Loren heard from the little wizard yesterday - Ain, who didn't dare not understand and pretend to understand, could only read from the script, which was obviously not as good as the experienced Dalton Kander, and the way of analysis was more clear and easy to understand, and it was no longer the kind of specious written language.

As for the history of wizards, the sources of magic, and the discovery of this knowledge, the black-robed wizard has chosen a few sentences. In Loren's opinion, this knowledge is basically irrelevant, and he can go to the library to read it, and there is no need to waste time at such an important time.

Loren was hungry like a hungry hyena, drawing this knowledge from Dalton's wisdom - even if it was not fully understood for a while, at least write it down first, and not stop.

Knowledge is power, and this phrase is especially useful to Loren right now—he doesn't want to have to rush forward with a sword in a daze when facing a troll or some other monster.

Fighting is always the last resort, killing is a last resort, at any time and in any situation, you should remain calm, aware of the situation, and have room for turnover, this is what Loren is best at.

After Dalton Kander slammed the blackboard with chalk for the second time, it was noon. Unhurriedly, he wrote the last letter on the note, and then respectfully "presented" it to the black-robed wizard.

The cold gaze swept over the parchment line by line, and then ...... There was nothing to correct, the wandering knight had almost copied his own writing on this parchment!

God knows where he learned to write, and he was meticulous in his work, not at all like the handwriting of a guy who kills people all year round, but more like a scribe in the church!

"Mediocrity. Dalton thought for a long time and only thought of this word, and his knife-like gaze swept over Loren's smiling face: "You are not a scribe of the church, you must have your own guess on this." ”

"I'm just trying to remember as much as I can about the knowledge you've given me. Loren smiled more elegantly: "Of course, I will also remember your earnest teachings, and I will definitely make up for it next time, please rest assured, Mentor Dalton Khand." ”

The black-robed wizard returned to normal before he was so disgusted that he wanted to vomit: "Rhetoric doesn't hide your mediocrity, apprentice. But we now have more important things to deal with. ”

"You have to choose a subject that you will study as your main project. After that, I'll be biased towards what you're teaching, and I'll skip the courses that don't need to be covered too much. ”

"Can't you wait a while and make a choice after I've learned all the subjects?" Loren frowned a little, somewhat surprised: "I've just learned to meditate. ”

"The Academy doesn't have the idea of making you a generalist, and you can't, Apprentice Loren Turin. Dalton said sarcastically: "As for how much you tutor in private, it has nothing to do with me." ”

That means he's going to acquiesce to me going to Ain or Isaac? But this is still a disservice to oneself - especially when the vast majority of subjects are still not well understood.

But even if you oppose it, I'm afraid the other party will automatically ignore it, after all, the dominant power is in his hands, so ...... You have to choose one that is more advantageous.

"It doesn't matter to me which subject you choose, but as a mentor, I still have to remind you. Dalton suddenly smiled, but the smile was terrifying: "The tasks that the academy will assign to you will definitely not be associated with safety and security." So practical subjects are more useful for your 'voluntary work' later. ”

"But if you have to study herbology, ancient runes, or other studies, I won't stop you. But...... Please bear the consequences. ”

The threat of this sentence was almost written on his face, and Loren kept a smile as he carefully planned it. Finally, there was a long sigh of relief.

"I think I've made a decision, mentor. ”
