Walking down the hallway to the mentor's lab, Arthur was still muttering to himself.

To tell the truth, he is still a little afraid of his mentor.

He is a time-traveler, he has too many secrets in his heart, and he is always afraid that he will be accidentally targeted by such a big man and become some kind of laboratory experiment or something.

At the door of the lab, Arthur meets the robot puppet, R2D2, whose electronic eyes flicker with light and emit an inexplicable electronic sound that helps Arthur open the door.

Hey, what the hell are you talking about!

Arthur himself was thinking.

Inside the gate, the empty space of the dome was still so bright, but the most conspicuous workbench in the space was gone.

There was only a lone chair there, and Mentor Victor sat on it.

The tall golden-red steel figure was reclining in his chair at this moment, and at this moment, for some reason, Arthur seemed to feel from him no longer the previous strength and concentration, but an inexplicable loneliness.

But this feeling was only for a moment, as if it was just an illusion, Mentor Victor saw him, raised his head, and for a moment, it was an endless and powerful pressure emanating from the steel body, firmly pressing on his body.

"Huh?"

In the silent space, Victor's cold snort was unusually cold.

Arthur was so frightened that he hurriedly pressed his body lower, and at this time, he heard a voice coming from above,

"Why is your mental power growing so fast? Do you practice black magic in private? ”

Yes? How can it be? How does he know?

Arthur trembled with fright,

"No, there isn't."

He instinctively retorted, practicing black witchcraft is a taboo among mainland spellcasters, although legend has it that black witchcraft often has a quick effect in practice, but the price that comes with it is also something you absolutely can't afford.

Victor snorted coldly, without saying a word, his big hand turned over, and there was already an extra crystal ball in his palm, which was exactly the same as the test crystal ball that Arthur saw in the Mage Association, and couldn't help but say, grabbed Arthur's palm and put it on the crystal ball,

"Concentrate!"

The cold and hard rebuke seemed to come from hell, and the cold barely contained a trace of temperature.

Arthur was busy injecting spiritual power into the crystal ball, and after a while, the crystal ball light lit up, getting brighter and brighter, and gradually showed a seven-colored light, like a rainbow in summer.

Arthur was terrified and didn't know what this meant, but after Mentor Victor saw the test results, his color was a little brighter, and the original eyes that constantly emitted a sharp red light also eased.

"Well, yes, it's not black witchcraft, it's me who blames you."

Arthur's heart suddenly relaxed, as if he had fought a big battle, and cold sweat fell all over his body.

Victor gently let go of Arthur's hand and said:

"You should know that the mainland spellcasters are guarding against the dark wizards, no matter who they are, no matter how talented they are, once they are touched by the side of black magic, the end will be very miserable, no exceptions. You are under my door, step by step, future achievements will not be below anyone, don't think about those lofty ambitions. ”

"Yes! I know. ”

When Arthur heard this, his heart was quiet, and he knew that this level had passed again.

"But, in such a short period of time, what is the reason that your mental power has improved so quickly?"

Victor asked again.

Arthur's heart tightened again,

"This- I'm in retreat—"

"You retreat, you went to practice meditation?!"

Arthur was dumbfounded, and did not answer,

But that's what Victor seems to think.

"Hey! How can you cultivate meditation methods, didn't I tell you that we alchemists don't need to specialize in cultivating spiritual power? ”

Arthur was sweating: That's what you said, I didn't say that.

However, his performance at the moment, his mental strength has increased dramatically in just a few months, and this performance can only be explained by the cultivation meditation method.

"It seems that you are still haunted by the opportunity to become a mage in the first place!"

"Mentor, I'm not."

Arthur also wanted to explain, and Victor waved his hand.

"Forget it, I'm not going to press you, and you don't have to think too much. Everyone has their own chances, and that's fine. But I don't know where you got the meditation method, after cultivating, the effect is so good, and in just a few months, you have reached the level of being able to advance to a full-fledged mage, Arthur, I can't imagine that you are still a genius in terms of cultivating the spiritual power of a mage! ”

"I don't know if those wastes from the Mage Guild will be angry if they know about it, they missed a genius, hum!"

"But it's too late, neither the Mage Association nor you have a chance to regret it, Arthur, since you have entered my door, you can only be an alchemist in this life, and you will never have the opportunity to become a mage again. Oh no, I suddenly had a nice idea, huh! ”

Victor smirked.

He swore he was absolutely right, Mentor Victor was really smiling, and Arthur was stunned.

The color on the steel mask on Master Victor's face shimmered, and an aura of evil spread through the air with his sinister smile.

Master Victor continued,

"Okay, I'll talk about these later, I came to you this time, in fact, I mainly want to ask about the new type of magic guide you invented, you should have heard of it, I and a few of your senior brothers, published a few articles, and publicized it, and now many alchemists in the alchemy world know about your new type of magic guide, by the way, you seem to be planning to call it a gun, no problem, you are its inventor, you have the right to name it."

"I should still thank you and a few senior brothers for promoting me!"

Arthur hastened to say that after all, without Victor's propaganda, his gun would not have spread so quickly, and he would not have had such an opportunity.

"No thanks!" Victor waved his hand, "We just sent a few papers, and your new magic guide gun is there, even if we don't publicize it, it will become famous on the continent sooner or later, which in itself is a great alchemy work." This is the honor that belongs to the alchemist, and no one can take it away from you. ”

"It's just that, next everyone knows about this magic guide tool, there will definitely be many alchemists considering making guns, there will be many people who will come to contact you, planning to ask you for a license, or communicate with you, the problem of making this new type of magic guide tool, and there will definitely be many merchants, they will try their best to contact you through various ways, get close to you, steal ideas and designs from you, they want to make a lot of money on you - this aspect of things will be very busy, have you thought about it?"

Arthur couldn't answer for a while, he must have thought about this, frankly, he wanted to make money, but this aspect also gave him a headache.

As an alchemist, it is more important for him to continue his own learning, as Victor said, all kinds of things, as well as those merchants and nobles with ulterior motives outside, all kinds of interest entanglements, it is too complicated, he really doesn't want to plunge into it, for money, and these people are intrigued.

After all, he just wants to make money, as for becoming a businessman in order to make money, that is impossible, his future path is to become a great spellcaster, he definitely has no such idea.

Victor looked at him as if he could see his thoughts at a glance,

"Actually, as an alchemist, no one will care too much about this matter, our alchemist's goal is to seek the truth, not these trivial things, I suggest you find a person who is good at doing these things, take him as an entourage or follower, and let him concentrate on helping you deal with this aspect in the future - we alchemists always need a professional person in this area, so that we don't have to be too distracted in this regard."

yes, isn't this a broker? Arthur suddenly realized, why didn't he think of this!

He sent a message to Arthur's Arcane Card,

"Okay, then, it's the only slave market in our secret realm of space, and there should be the people you want there."

"Yes!"

"Okay, you go down first, arrange this matter first, and then come to me, and we'll talk about your other problems."
