Chapter 56: Inside the Tower
Two days have passed since the Potions Room incident, and the news that the new exchange students are preparing to take the title of senior potions master has all spread throughout the Secret Law Retreat.
Early this morning, Simon walked to the library as usual.
On the way, his apprentices were seen pointing at him from time to time, talking in low voices, and occasionally laughter burst out.
"Well, Mr. Simon, please wait a minute. Best chased after him and quickly came to his side.
"Mr. Simon, I heard that you're going to take the Potions Master exam, is that true?" asked Best, a little restrained.
Simon turned his head to look at him and replied with a faint "um".
Best's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he continued to ask with some nervousness, "This rumor is true! Mr. Simon, you are really amazing, I wonder if you are sure to pass the assessment?"
Simon looked at Best, who was looking at him with an anxious face, and he didn't understand why he was so concerned about him. However, since everyone is a colleague of the Special Bureau, I answered in passing.
"I'm not sure, I can't know the result until I take the test. ”
When he stepped in, after all, listening to Mokanas's previous words, the title of this high-level potions master was not simple, and he was not completely sure.
"Oh, oh. Hearing this, Best was thoughtful, and after he walked a few steps with Simon, he suddenly said to Simon with a smile on his face, "Since this is the case, I won't bother Mr. Simon to prepare, I wish you success in the assessment, come on!"
Simon nodded to him and headed straight for the library, leaving Best still in place.
A few minutes later, when Dow Simon was completely out of Best's sight, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned and ran towards the handicap downstairs in the dormitory.
"I can't get it, you don't support electronic transfers. As soon as he arrived at the handicap, Best said to the blue-clothed apprentice who opened the market.
The blue-clothed apprentice didn't say much, and directly threw a transferor and asked, "How much?"
"200,000. Best said that he had saved so much money in the past few years of his work, and this time he took a big risk by directly taking a stud
, otherwise he wouldn't have tested Simon's tone before placing a bet, after all, this is already his entire net worth.
He took the transfer device and immediately transferred 200,000 yuan, and after the blue-clothed apprentice confirmed that it was correct, he immediately wrote the amount and odds in magic ink on the parchment, and then released a spell mark on the parchment, and then handed it to Best.
Best took the bill, carefully put it in his pocket, poked out a little, and after making sure that there was no acquaintance, he hurriedly walked out.
After leaving the distance for some time, Best patted his chest and let out a sigh
, He looked back at the handicap and said to himself, "Mr. Simon, it's not that I don't support you, it's just that you obviously have no chance of success, it's better to let me make a small profit, and then I will invite you to the Ocean Hotel in Sivanka for a big meal." ”
The next morning, the secret retreat was bustling.
In the slightly empty manor on weekdays, there were a lot of people, and it was roughly estimated that there would be nearly a hundred people, including many mages with magical power all over their bodies.
Everyone regarded this assessment as a rare entertainment, after all, the retreat was too silent and boring, and it was still very good to have a little fun and pastime occasionally.
Many apprentices were talking about it, speculating about whether the exchange student would succeed or not, but the vast majority of them were not optimistic about him. There were only a few apprentices who had placed heavy bets on Simon, and after a little support for him, they were immediately sprayed and shrank their heads.
They took out the statistics made by several apprentices who were about to advance and threw them directly in the faces of the supporters for them to take a good look at.
The statistics book clearly records that since the establishment of the Secret Law Hermitage Society, all the people who have passed the senior sub-professional title have only two of them have been assessed as apprentices, and those two have finally become legendary-level powerhouses.
Simon, a wild potions master, dared to come to the advanced examination after only a few days of reading the book without any systematic study, and in their opinion, he was no different from the clown in the circus, he was just here to be funny and bring a little joy to everyone.
In the deepest part of the Esoteric Cult's manor, in the towers that jutted into the clouds.
In a huge conference room, under the sky like a bright starry sky.
Countless speckled sparks suddenly landed on a seat. The spark fell and then extinguished, like cooled lava, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a humanoid sculpture on the seat.
Click!
With a loud sound, the lava sculpture suddenly opened its eyes, and he took a step to stand up and walked towards the outer window of the tower, and as he walked, the stone on his body that seemed to be a lava version quickly transformed into flesh and blood. In a moment, a bald mage in a big red robe appeared on the edge of the outer window.
He looked at the lively crowd in the manor, a smile appeared on his lips, and asked with interest, "Reinhardt, do you think this little guy can succeed?"
"I don't know. Still, I hope he succeeds. The strength of the Unusual Bureau is still too weak, and a high-level Potions Master should be of some help to them, after all, it is not long before the end of the secret agreement, and many old things are already ready to move. ”
Under the bright starry sky, a tall mage with a pair of dark blue eyes appeared and came to the red-robed bald mage.
He was surrounded by three magic rings made of magic power, and the magic rings were constantly rotating around him, and any matter that dared to approach his body would be cut into pieces by the magic rings made of magic power, and vaguely, it seemed that even the air was overwhelmed and trembling.
The bald red-robed mage couldn't deny it, and no longer paying attention to the commotion in the manor, he turned his head to stare at Reinhardt, his lava-like eyes emitting infinite light and heat, as if he could melt everything in the world.
"I've been to the Tremir Gobi and found a lot of things, and I've met a few old friends by the way. ”
"Let's talk about it!" Reinhardt didn't seem to feel the heat in his eyes, and watched the assessment process in the manor with great interest.
"I felt the power of Chaos there, the power of Slaanesh, one of the Three Pillars of Chaos, Medivan must have been seduced by him, otherwise he would not have given up his race to fuse with the earthly python. The red-robed bald mage said affirmatively.
But he didn't succeed. According to the news of the Anomalous Bureau and my observations, at the last moment, a force that did not belong to our universe intervened, and the power that he took the initiative to descend and pass on was directly destroyed by this Otherworldly Lord. ”
The red-robed bald mage was already smiling when he said this, and it was obvious that he was very happy to see that his plan had been ruined.
After all, this is not the first time that the Lord of Slaanesh has wanted to descend on their planet, and if it weren't for the special universe they live in, he would have succeeded.
Reinhardt glanced at him, and there was no joy on his face, and it was really not a good thing for another Otherworldly Lord to notice this poor planet.
What a disaster it is to your home planet!
Reinhardt thought for a while, and after a long time, he suddenly pointed to Simon in the manor and said.
"If he passes the assessment, open the secret room on the third floor to him, and increase the strength of the special bureau as much as possible! The blood clan is also not stable, although there is a supreme divine court to deal with them, but in the meantime, I am afraid that many dark creatures will take the opportunity to jump out, and their strength is afraid that it is a little insufficient." ”
"Hmph, what's the use of increasing their strength, a Sanctuary powerhouse who inherits the power of Mjonir will be killed by an earthly python that has not yet grown up, it is worse than waste, what is the use of asking them. The bald red-robed mage snorted coldly and said disdainfully.
Reinhardt didn't say much, and the figure slowly dissipated, leaving only the bald red-robed mage in the conference room still looking at the assessment in the manor.
In front of the manor's energy fountain, three mages stood in the center, including the Grand Potions Master of Mokanas.
The two sides of the manor were crowded with spectators, and the four exchange students of the Special Bureau and a slightly older middle-aged man stood together, all staring at Simon in the soundproof barrier.
This man is a newly sent clerk from the Unusual Bureau, and he is also the owner of 3.5 million for Simon.
The price Simon paid for this was that if he didn't pass the test, then he would only receive the minimum guarantee every month until he paid it back completely. If he passes, the clerk's eye-catching contract will be waiting for him to sign.
In the soundproof barrier, Simon couldn't hear any outside sound at all.
In front of him, the desk was covered with a thick stack of test papers. From plants, animals, minerals, and monsters, one does not pull on it.
Mokanas said to him expressionlessly, "These things are the most basic and easiest test questions, please answer them all within 100 minutes, and no mistakes are allowed. ”
"Now the timer begins. ”
Simon, who had been sitting there quietly since entering the examination room, suddenly moved, grabbed the carbon pen in front of him, and quickly filled in the test paper.
After glancing at any question, he quickly wrote the answer, without even thinking about it.
As a former Genshin real person, this kind of test question that tests the ability to remember and think is simply too simple, and before he has finished reading the test questions, the answer has already appeared in his mind, and this body that has been single for twenty years has filled in the answer with extremely fast hand speed.
"It's too fake!"
"This guy really won't memorize all the books on the second floor, but even if he does, it won't be possible to react so quickly!"
On the floating disks on both sides, Simon's questions and answers were displayed in his test paper.
Looking at Simon, who had completed most of the test papers in just over 20 minutes, many apprentices who had placed heavy bets were vaguely uneasy, feeling that their money was a little unstable.
"It's okay, this is the easiest question at the beginning, I don't believe he can't make mistakes later. What's more, the actual operation behind is the most difficult part. ”
Many of the apprentices looked at the questions they couldn't answer for a while, and they were still confident to cheer for their companions, but before they knew it, they already had a little sweat on their foreheads.
