Two days later, Bai Long grabbed Adi and returned to the institute with a body of dirt.

In order to sleep peacefully, he chose to dig a hole to sleep, and the poor and pathetic servant followed the white dragon in the pit for two days, and the white dragon sealed the entrance of the cave with cold ice, and the short and weak servant could not open the door, so he had to be slaughtered.

On the morning of the third day, Bai Long decided to return to the research institute, at this time, the mercenary group should have come, and the big bald head will return soon, according to the agreement, this day is just the time to teach.

A very opportune time.

As soon as he entered the research institute, he saw that there were obvious traces of invasion in the research institute, and Frange was cleaning the courtyard, and when he saw the white dragon dragging Adi in, he did not shout or shout, but said hello calmly, and suggested that the white dragon immediately contact Master Sarn.

"How's the invasion?"

"Conservative estimates suggest that at least five people broke in, three traps were dismantled, and one golem was killed, and the comer seemed to be looking for something. Frang lowered his eyebrows and led Baihe to the place where there was a pool of blood on the ground: "But they obviously didn't know where they were looking for, and they messed around, causing a lot of damage. ”

The white dragon looked at Adi Sarn and sneered, and the latter's face suddenly turned a little pale.

Adi thought that he had broken his trust and did not lead the way for the mercenaries, he must have aroused the suspicion of the other party, not to mention that there were still dead people!

Maybe I've become the enemy of that mercenary group!

Bai He looked at the corpse on the ground, a masked thief, accustomed to stealing chickens and dogs, but capsized in the gutter here.

It is estimated that as soon as the old bald head returns, the mercenary group will definitely not dare to stay for a long time.

Frang rubbed his head in annoyance: "If Lord Sarn knows, he will be very angry." ”

"It's okay, I'll explain it to the tutor. Bai He bared his teeth and smiled: "In addition, I think this servant is very good at serving people, and he will be my person in the future." ”

"As a servant, I shouldn't beak it, but I'd do well ask Lord Sarn for advice. ”

Frang muttered as White River dragged Adi Sarn into his lab, but did not go up to stop him.

He's just a mere servant, and he doesn't really need to take care of much except cleaning and listening to people's orders.

Shirakawa returned to the lab and, without saying a word, placed the mirror in the center of the room, while he stood behind it.

He saw that the mirror did not take long for the light to reflect, and Crowley Sarn let out of the mirror with a stiff and somewhat cold voice: "Dear apprentice, you are really a little too careful, with my strength, if I want to deal with you, I really don't need the front or the back. ”

"I'd rather believe that it would be of some use. Bai He took the big bald man's words as a bluff and said, "Mentor, I have to tell you something, the institute was attacked because of a servant. ”

"Oh?" said Crowley Sarn disapprovingly, "I'll take care of this in a while." ”

"This servant is your nephew, and the cause of this incident is that I became your disciple, which made him very unhappy, so he hired a group of mercenaries to try to kill me. The white dragon smiled and said, "Dear mentor, I dare to guarantee that I am not lying to you, so I can contact the Tower of Eight Leaves now and use polygraph spells or magic to verify that what I said is true or false." I believe that the Tower of Eight Leaves will have a fair evaluation. ”

“...... Is that so? So what do you think I should do?"

"Mentor, I don't intend to embarrass you, I just hope that you can think of a way to stop disturbing me while I am learning from you. "White Dragon Road.

"It's so easy to do. Crowley Sarn said, "Then I'll send him away." ”

"Wait!" Adi Sarn suddenly became excited, he broke free from the white dragon's holdings, ran to the front of the mirror, and said loudly: "Uncle! Why is this happening? Why did you abandon me for a doomed outsider? I have served you diligently for so many years! Have you never been touched in the slightest?"

"Touched, of course I'm touched, dear Adi. Crowley Sarn smiled: "Adi, I still remember that my brother was the first person in the family to support me, and when I had just returned from the Yaba cultivation and almost the entire Saarland regarded me as a heretic, he gave me everything that an elder brother could give, so that I could calmly study spells until the day when I re-proved my loyalty and worth to Thrall, so I have always devoted myself to your growth." ”

"Then why, why am I willing to dedicate my soul to be your follower, you are so ......" Adi looked pained.

"You still don't understand, my Adi, you have to dedicate your soul, the devils of hell often find people to do this, but I, your uncle, Crowley Sahn, is not the devil you are looking for!" Crowley's voice became colder and colder: "The devils in hell need someone to give their souls, because they know that there are people who want to harm others and benefit themselves, some people want to get something for nothing, some people want to have fun in time, some people want to attach themselves to the powerful, tell me, Adi, my dear nephew, my relatives with high hopes, are you such a person?" Or do you want to be like that?"

Adi took half a step back, and he looked at his uncle in shock: "Uncle, I am loyal to your ......"

"So I'm going to temper you with the work of a servant, and you're going to give the work I've assigned to you to the other servants?So I'm going to train you with rough food, and you're going to use your money to open a small stove? So I'm going to let you buy supplies, and you're going to extort the merchants of the town? So you dare to break my rules, and take their property to amass money? And when I ask, you tell me, 'Is this loyalty?'

There was a deep helplessness in the bald head's tone: "So dear nephew, I really can't see where you are loyal, people who are loyal to me will not hire people to destroy my research institute, I have told you many times the consequences of breaking the rules with other servants, other servants will lose their lives if they break a thing in the research institute, and you seem to have never been punished, this is my will, and I am afraid it is also my mistake." Son, I've always wanted you to be strong, but you look like you've become weak—only the weak will live as a parasite under the pretext of loyalty! Even Frang is much better than you, at least he always knew what he had to do!"

Adi fell to the ground dumbfounded, and a heavy blow directly applied to his consciousness: "No, no, no, uncle, I've always wanted to be your help...... I, I've been working so hard ......"

"But you have not done what I say, I asked you to be a good servant, what is the result?" The big bald head sighed: "You just 'want' to be my help, but you have never really 'pursued', I told you the right way from the beginning without reservation—that is, do what I say! What are you giving me? You are just satisfying your own thoughts and desires, under the pretext of loyalty, and do not make any effort at all for the path I show you! Jealousy, luring wolves into the house, these are not loyalty!"

Adi's face turned pale, and he fell to his knees suddenly: "No! These are not right! Great uncle, you have never told me this! This is not fair!"

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

In the face of Adi's accusation, Crowley fell silent, and after a while, he spoke again: "Unfair? So I can give you another chance, I have won you an apprenticeship, but not with me, but with the chief." ”

"Wait, uncle. Adi's face turned even paler: "Because of the affairs of the Northern Province, you and all the seat mentors have a disagreement! You are going to give me to your enemy!"

"It's a boss who doesn't trust me very much, and you can deepen the trust between us. Crowley Sarn asked, "Why, you don't have the guts? To be able to survive there and graduate as a full-fledged wizard at least proves that you are not a weakling! Don't you want to follow me? I don't want your soul, dear nephew, I just want you to prove that you are not a wreck, that's all! If you don't dare, go back to my brother now, it's a good path, and in order to prevent trouble in the future, I will use a spell to clear your memory." ”

Gegegegege......

On the other side of the white dragon, Adi's teeth could be seen chattering, and his eyes were a mixture of fear, unwillingness, and despair when hope was dashed.

Finally, he stood up, glanced at the white dragon viciously, stared at the mirror again, and suddenly showed a stiff smile in a cold sweat: "Uncle, I understand, I accept your arrangement to be the chief apprentice, but I think this decision will one day make you regret it." ”

"I'm looking forward to that day, now go and prepare your things. ”

Adi Sarn walked out of the laboratory door, and the white dragon did not stop him, but smiled mockingly: "Mentor, it seems that your nephew has not appreciated your kindness at all. ”

"You mean the kindness of the cardinal? It's not funny at all, whether it's ingratitude or disconnection from family, a good cardinal wizard has to go through that. Crowley's tone was disapproving, and he seemed to have completely relaxed.

"Teacher, you're mocking yourself. ”

"What?, what interesting news have you heard from my nephew?" said Crowley Sarn with a sinister laugh, "My dear apprentice, I advise you not to be cranky. ”

"Mentor, I'm not cranky, I'm just a little scared. Bai He said calmly, "Anyone who hears the description of that prophecy from your nephew will probably have a hard time thinking about it. ”

"Then my dear apprentice, are you afraid that I will kill you?"

Crowley Sahn's question made Shirakawa stunned, he didn't expect this big bald teacher to pick out this topic directly, and he was stunned for a moment.

His daze made Crowley Sarn laugh wildly, and his cold voice filled his laughter with the sound of gold and stone, and he laughed and said: "Boy, you are so funny, you remind me of when I was chosen as a red-clothed servant, and I was just as afraid as you were of being killed by my mentor and the various stewards looking for trouble, and even the apprentices were able to abuse us at will! If it wasn't for the chance to find Yaba, I'm afraid I would have died in Al's research institute back then!" It's just that I won't be killed by my mentor at any time, so I will apply for the Ring of Treaty on Yaba's entrance exam - I thought that all the mentors were the same as the Saar, otherwise how could a disciple like you send it to my head?!

Bai He could only laugh dryly in agreement when he heard the voice in this almost crazy state.

"Then I went back to Thrall, because of this incident, they called me the lucky one of El, and I was so lucky, I avoided the two most inexplicable stages of death by virtue of talent and luck, the red servant and the apprentice, so I always hoped that the lucky me could try not to make others too unlucky - after all, most of the time the cardinal wizards do things that make others unlucky, we have to admit that, so I think that whatever you hear from Adi and how you understand it. There are some things that should be made clear to you first, and now, dragon boy, you listen carefully to me!"

He stopped laughing abruptly, and his voice became unprecedentedly cold: "In this world called Antas, magic apprenticeship is the most dangerous job, do you think it will be safe with other wizards? Hmph! There is no wizard in this world who will not let his disciples copy scrolls to the point of confusion! Where did so many crazy wizards come from in adulthood? Only then can their mentor use the scrolls they copy to get enough money to conduct their own research! It is the same in any corner of the world!

Besides, what do you think this is, this is the Cardinal Warlock Society! Seven or eight out of ten apprentices here die before they graduate! This is our tradition! And you're lucky enough by comparison!"

The mirror turned abruptly, and the upper body of Crowley Sarn appeared in the air above the mirror, he pointed to Bai He's face, as if his fingers were directly on his nose, the white dragon's heart was pounding, and he resisted the urge to activate the ring, listening to the sonorous declaration of the red wizard: "Those apprentices who died in the laboratory did not have the Ring of Treaties to escape for their lives, and they did not have the all-round protection of more than 4,000 treaties from the Tower of Eight Leaves- It has almost cut off all the ways for me to do it myself without responsibility, and standing in such a vantage point, you can still lose your life for all kinds of reasons, which only shows one fact: you are not qualified to get everything you want from me!

If you want to get something, you have to face risks!

Retreat is for weakness! Fall is for incompetence! Hesitation is for cowardice!

If you're such a guy, hate your incompetence and die in my institute!"

"Huh...... Hey...... Hahaha!"

After a moment of silence, Bai He suddenly burst out laughing: "Interesting, funny, so interesting! Dear Mentor, I fully accept your reasoning!"

Bai Long's blood-red eyes released a red light of excitement: "I really hope we can happily spend our life as a teacher and student!"
