193 Teacher of the Necromantic School
"Young man, you just mentioned that you found something I left behind?"
Master Steve gently invited Sycamore to sit down, and at the same time put the heavy book, bookmarked, and set it aside, clearing out the black tea brought by the skeleton Linda on the table.
"Uh, yes, here." Sycamore hurriedly took out [Steve's apprenticeship book] and placed it in front of Master Steve.
Glancing at the apprenticeship book suspiciously, Master Steve didn't seem to remember that it was his own, so he picked it up and flipped through it before suddenly saying, "Ah! Is this it!? He seemed to touch the cover of the apprenticeship book with surprise and remembrance, and sighed: "I didn't expect that one day someone would come to me with it."
"What?" Sycamore felt as if Master Steve had something to say.
"Oh, hehe, nothing!" Master Steve smiled, "I just remembered the 'graduation assignment' given to me by my teacher when I was younger. ”
As he spoke, he began to look at Wutong with interest, but he became more and more surprised, and his eyes finally fell on Wutong's right hand wearing the ogre gauntlet, and said with some surprise and confusion: "Young man, can you take off the gloves and let me see the ring on your finger?" ”
"Rings?"
Sycamore looked at his right hand and realized that Master Steve was interested in the Bone Eater Ring on his hand, but he was wearing gloves, how did he find out that he had the ring on his hand?
Although confused, Sycamore still took off the Ogre Gauntlet in his right hand: "I'm sorry, this ring is a cursed item, I can't take it off my hand"
Mage Steve didn't care what Sycamore said, his attention focused on the skull-shaped black iron ring on Sycamore's middle finger, and muttered, "This seems to be a terrible item from the end of the [Twilight Years] era!" Is this something that is produced in 'that place'? Damn it! How could such a thing be out there?"
Mage Steve, who had a very serious expression, stared at Wutong's eyes tightly: "Young man, you'd better take off the mask and let me be sure"
Sycamore hesitated for a moment, although the necromancer should also belong to the class that tends to the [evil camp], but Sycamore still remembers the scratching caused by taking off the mask in Shell Village last time, he is not in Shell Village where the teacher is in charge now, if he causes that kind of chaos again, I am afraid that he will really be killed directly by the NPCs of the hostile camp.
"Well, Mage Steve, it doesn't matter if I take off the mask, but I have the [Abyssal Aura] of this Bone Eater Ring on my body, and if I take off this Lie Mask with the effect of [Hidden Faction], I'm afraid it will cause confusion"
Master Steve glanced at Sycamore in surprise, apparently surprised by Sycamore's "honesty": "Do you know what happened to you?" ”
"Yes, my teacher told me briefly." Sycamore nodded honestly.
Master Steve relaxed slightly, glanced at the various equipment on Sycamore's body, and said in surprise, "Then can I know who your teacher is?" It seems that your teacher is a big man, and he can equip his disciples with such a complete set of luxurious adventure equipment."
"Well, my teacher is Runtag on the island of Ogaros. Beria, I don't know if you know him. ”
Wutong pursed his lips, the equipment on his body has a hairy relationship with his gold-sucking ghost teacher? Aside from stuffing himself with a bunch of expensive books to die for, Sycamore never got anything good from him.
"So, your teacher knows what happened to you?" Master Steve stroked his beard thoughtfully.
"Yes, the teacher and the El of the village. Pastor Trisbo is trying to figure it out" Skeleton Linda brought black tea, and with her bony hand she grabbed the teapot and poured a cup for Sycamore, who didn't know if she needed to say thank you.
"Well, young man, it seems that you also found your teacher's apprenticeship and got a reward, didn't you?" Mage Steve changed the subject and smiled, "That's why you came to me with this apprenticeship?" ”
"Uh, I'm a little greedy" Sycamore smiled a little awkwardly.
"No, young man, it's not a bad thing to be a greedy mage, so that you can go far in arcane studies." Master Steve laughed and said, "Only by being curious enough can you have the motivation to explore more secrets, right?" ”
As he spoke, he took out a scroll and handed it to Sycamore: "This is your reward for finding my apprenticeship, and you may be able to get a nice spell from it." But what I'm curious about now is, how did you get to this island of Bahadiga from Ogaros? Moreover, I don't think your teacher expected you to have the strength to cross the sea of mist, otherwise, he would probably tell you the meaning of finding this kind of 'apprenticeship'. ”
"Meaning?" Sycamore, who took the [Random Spell Scroll], looked at Mage Steve puzzled, and pointed to the [Star Whisperer Guild Charm] hanging around his neck: "I came to Bahadiga Island from Ogarus Island by accident through a Nether circle, maybe you know Mr. Sea Spectator on this island?" As for what you mean? ”
"The Association of Star Whisperers? Those guys who deal with the stars have been studying those failed Nether circles for some years, and now it seems that they still have some results."
Master Steve was stunned: "As for the 'meaning' of the apprenticeship book, didn't your teacher tell you that obtaining a master's apprenticeship means that the trialist who obtained the apprenticeship book will become the disciple of the master?" ”
In Master Steve's explanation, Sycamore realized that these traveling mages who came to the Endless Islands from the other side of the sea were from the same arcane law school many years ago, that is, they were classmates, and the purpose of their coming to the Endless Islands was to conduct their graduation trials like Sycamore and other players.
As an orthodox Austrian Law School, the Academy of Austria also has eight ** schools, for example, Master Steve was the chief of the "Necromancy" school at that time, and according to Master Steve, Wutong's teacher, Runtag. Beria is the chief of the "change system" school.
Although they are classmates of the same arcane law school, there will inevitably be competition between the magic school and the magic school, and even between the students of the class, there will also be competition, competing for the head of the faction and the head of the academy
Unfortunately, in that competition, the academy where Mage Belial and Mage Steve were located, due to too fierce internal competition, failed to win the "Trial Mission of the United Academy", resulting in the crown being taken away by another arcane law school, which made them extremely unwilling and became a regret in their mage careers.
According to the practice of the "United College Trial Mission", the head of each faction of each college will leave a special item of his own on the Endless Island, which will be discovered by the lucky Trialist Apprentice during the next "Trial Mission of the United College" and become a disciple of the chief mage who left the special item.
The "United Academy Trial Mission" is held not only to promote the competition between the various arcane academies for arcane research, but also to train the next generation of arcane spellcasters, and at the same time, there is also competition and competition between the various arcane academies.
Theoretically, an Trialist Apprentice on the Endless Island, which is the "Island of Trials", is not capable of crossing the Sea of Mists to another Island of Trials, so in this large-scale trial event, theoretically, each Arcane Academy should train 8 apprentices from different spell factions.
But now, Wutong alone has found two apprenticeship books, and the problem has arisen
"So, young man, what are you going to do?" Mage Steve looked at Sycamore slyly and smiled.
Feeling that since he had jumped off the island, he might not be able to go back to Ogaros Island, but he just wanted to rely on the fact that he knew the location of the apprenticeship book and planned to make as many benefits as possible, so he was stunned.
"Uh, do you mean to make me your disciple too?" Wutong cautiously asked: "But I have a teacher"
"Young man, are you discriminating against the Necromancy? Or are you teasing me, a necromancer? ”
Master Steve's eyes narrowed dangerously: "You have obtained the apprenticeship book I left behind, but you don't intend to become my disciple, are you planning to deceive me from me for the gift I prepared for my disciple?" I think Linda seems to be a little busy on her own, maybe I should find another partner for her."
He glanced at the skeleton Linda who was standing aside, and then his eyes fell on the spell scroll he was holding in his hand, and he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, was the necromancer's words just now a threat?
I just felt that the random spell scroll I just got in my hand was as hot as a hot potato, and Wutong, who didn't take it, almost cried, let's put that apprenticeship book back again?
"What's that?"
Wutong looked pitifully at the expressionless necromancer Steve: "I want to ask, did you say that the academy forbade apprentices to take two courses?" ”
"Well, not really! But taking two schools at the same time is a heavy academic load and a great burden!? Are you sure you can handle it? ”
The necromancer smiled and "consulted" Wutong's "opinion": "You have to think about it, I won't relax the examination of your necromantic homework just because you have taken too many subjects!" If you decide to become my disciple, then, from now on, I'm Balzebu. Steve, you're the Necromantic Teacher! ”
"If you don't dislike it"
Wutong was defeated, and he began to worry that how to explain his "betrayal" to Master Belial, he would be killed, right? Would it?
