After a blinding white light, everything in front of him had changed dramatically. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Except for the tables at the edge of the room, which were neatly arranged with strange alchemy equipment and writing instruments, the other wooden tables were completely buried by mountains of books, and all that was left was the rows of bookshelves that were full, and it was obvious that the owner of the room had a deep thirst for knowledge.

In the center of the room, a white-bearded old man in a robe was sitting in the middle of a sea of books, slowly flipping through the heavy books in his hand, and a teacup floating quietly beside him.

"Viren, you're still so sloppy." Standing in front of Ryan, Philip looked at the ground near where there was no foothold, and his face showed helplessness and a hint of imperceptible excitement.

"Huh? Philip, you're here so soon? Sorry, I recently got a new batch of books from the elves, and I'm a little fascinated by them. Closing the book, a kind smile bloomed on Vilen's wrinkled old face, and he was about to walk towards Philip, but was met with the same embarrassment as the halfling.

Looking around, finding that his room was a mess, Viren pursed his lips and waved his big hand into the air. As a breeze blew, I saw that the books that had been lying quietly on the ground suddenly moved, and returned to the shelves one by one at a speed that dazzled Ryan. In the blink of an eye, the entire room had become spotless.

Spells are instantaneous! Cast spells without materials! This is all a super-magical specialty that countless spellcasters have dedicated to it in their previous lives and may not be able to obtain it for six years!

This Viren is definitely not simple!

"Philip, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, and you are still the same as you remember." Walking in front of the halfling, although Viren was old, the robe still could not hide his wide skeleton, and his tall figure even exceeded half of Ryan's head.

Ignoring Viren's teasing and open arms, Philip walked past him and sat down on the stool, picking up the teacup on the table and speaking, "I didn't come to you to discuss my height with you. ”

"Oh? So are there any other topics between us? ”

Philip drank tea, and his eyes were suddenly full of murderous energy.

Looking at the two old men arguing, Ryan couldn't stand or sit for a while, and his face was full of embarrassment.

As if sensing that it was inappropriate to argue with Viren in front of his juniors, Philip said directly to the point: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm here to ask for someone." ”

"Someone?" Seeing that the other party was rarely serious, Wei Lun also put away his playful thoughts, and when he heard him ask like this, his brows suddenly tightened, "What do you mean?" ”

"Varg's half-finished product died in Horncreek."

"Oh? Then you're in trouble. Hearing this name, a hint of anger flashed in Viren's eyes, but years of experience made him quickly hide this mood, and the flat appearance made Philip can't help but hold the teacup tighter.

"The White Bone Cemetery will definitely not give up for the sake of Varge's face, and it is difficult to prevent the invasion of a group of necromancers by relying on Horncreek City alone."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"This is a rare opportunity to lure that old guy around, are you sure you want to miss it?"

"It's just a half-finished product, and I don't see any reason for him to bother with it." Picking up the teacup floating beside him and taking a sip, Viren was still calm.

"What if it's the destruction of a group of bone graveyard mages?" Playing with the exquisite teacup, Philip's flat tone seemed to tell a thing that was as easy as a snap.

"Oh? Looks like your kid has a bit of a big appetite. The surprise on Viren's face flashed as he drank tea, "Let's hear it." ”

"We'll find out when you get to Horncreek City." Successfully piquing the old mage's interest, Philip had a smile on his face that he didn't tell him, and his cheap appearance made Ryan almost laugh out loud.

"Haha! You kid really hasn't changed, you're still so cunning. Instead of being angry, Viren laughed heartily, he should have felt that this was really insulting his image, and quickly retracted, hesitated slightly, and nodded at Philip, "It's been a long time since I've cooperated with you as a slippery head, I hope you don't dig a hole for yourself." ”

"Of course, I haven't lived enough!" Seeing that the other party agreed to his request, Philip also smiled and raised the empty teacup in his hand towards Viren. The latter pursed his lips, stretched out his hand, and the teapot next to him rose in the air, helping the halfling to fill it again: "Then why did you bring this half-elf here?" ”

"Didn't you knowingly ask?" After drinking the tea, Philip took out a money bag from his waist, "The future archmage will be handed over to you, I hope the teaching quality of Shining Star Castle has not regressed too much." ”

Soon, after Philip paid Ryan's tuition, Viren readily agreed to Ryan's enrollment, and on the grounds that he had something to discuss, the two tacitly kicked Ryan into the teleportation circle.

"Are you sure you want to give him over?" Watching Ryan disappear into the white light, Philip was silent for a while, but still couldn't help but ask, "You know about his past, are you sure you didn't deliberately make things difficult for my students?" ”

"I know, but that's why he's the right fit."

Walking out of the Morning Star Tower, Ryan looked at an envelope in his hand, still at a loss. That's how you became a mage's apprentice? Sent away in one sentence? That's too casual, isn't it?

Tsk, shaking his head, Ryan stopped thinking about these depressing questions, glanced at the envelope in his hand, and after asking the mage, Ryan groped his way through the unfamiliar street.

Everywhere there are two very different sides, glossy and shabby, and although he is mentally prepared, Ryan is still surprised by the scene that catches his eye in front of him. Tucked away behind the tall and stately library, a few ordinary low bungalows look very dilapidated. Cracked walls and grass-clad roofs make people worry about whether these buildings have the basic function of sheltering from the wind and rain.

Pushing open the dilapidated wooden door, his long bright blonde hair stray out of place with the surrounding furnishings, Ryan quickly found his target in the cluttered room, "Is Mentor Lancedel here?" ”

The middle-aged man who was dispensing potion in front of the laboratory table stopped his movements, turned his head to look at Ryan who was standing at the door, and quickly retracted his gaze and continued to focus on the work in his hand: "You are the new apprentice that Viren said?" ”

"Yes." The other party didn't mean to greet him, Ryan was slightly embarrassed on his face, knowing that the potion needed to be focused and could not be disturbed, and his tone was very careful.

Rumble! After Lancedell added a large spoonful of powder to the vial, the liquid suddenly tumbling violently, accompanied by a loud bang and a ferocious flame that swept through half the room, Ryan finally knew why the house was so miserable.

Thankfully, a translucent barrier centered on Lancedel suppressed the spread of the flames, and when the explosion subsided, a huge opening was added to the wall on the other side.

"Ahh Damn it, I obviously followed the steps, how could I fail even a mere brute potion! ”

Ryan almost thought that his mentor had died like this, and was about to step forward to see if he could recover a complete corpse, when he heard such a shout in the smoke and dust, and suddenly became messy in the wind. Brute Cow Potion? Low-grade alchemy elixir? But what do you put red keel powder for?

Red dragon bone powder contains extremely strong flame attribute energy, and it may sound fine when combined with activated root sap with condensation function, but don't forget, activated root is just a low-level material, how can it be possible to control the energy of red dragon bone powder? And you put almost a hundred grams! I have a sentence about MMP, I don't know if to say it or not...

If it weren't for the protection of the dimensional barrier, with the power of this explosion comparable to the fire explosion technique, I'm afraid Ryan would have to say goodbye to his mentor. Wait a minute! Dimensional barrier? Instant Eight Rings Spell! Oh, my God! Look, this legendary mage is an alchemy scrap...

The continuous big news made Ryan lose his ability to manage his expression for a while, and the latter looked at Lancedel who turned around with a blank expression.

"Huh? Why haven't you kid moved yet? ”

Ryan finally suppressed the urge to scold, and when he heard Lancedell say this, he was stunned again: "Move? Do? ”

"Aren't you my apprentice? Hurry up and clean up here. Walking up to the half-elf, Lancedel's gaze rested on Ryan's pointed ears, a glimmer of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he unceremoniously left the place.

I... The joints were pinched and creaked, Ryan clenched his teeth, and the urge to scold that he had finally suppressed came to his heart again, and he could only sigh helplessly after glancing at the back behind him that was gradually moving away and the mess in the room.

This is the case with the teaching at Castle Shining Star, where new students must go through at least half a year of apprenticeship, and according to Sophia's complaints, these days are basically doing some subordinate work, and only with the approval of the instructor will they be granted the opportunity to enter the library and learn spells.

And after the apprentice has mastered the two one-ring spells and becomes a low-level mage, the mentor can choose to keep him by his side to educate him personally, or directly kick him into the academy and leave him to fend for himself...

For Ryan, who has experienced nine years of compulsory education, this teaching method of looking at the teacher's mood makes him very uncomfortable. However, under the eaves, he had to bow his head, at least his mentor was a legendary mage, which was still very satisfying to Ryan.

Whether it is the self-sufficiency of the previous life or the miserable life of this life, Ryan is not a serious nobleman in the first place, and he can still easily handle the work such as cleaning up.

With a long sigh, Ryan picked up the tools and began his apprenticeship.
