Chapter 4: King Locke
"Tell me your name. ”
Elvis's emotionless voice made his heart gradually slide into the abyss.
"Ron Whiteman. ”
Ron slowly closed his eyes.
"Don't hesitate when you're trying to deceive someone, too much hesitation will expose your inner fear, that's the first lesson I taught you. ”
"Hmm......" Ron was stunned.
Lesson 1...... The first lesson of the apprenticeship...... I...... Survived!
Ron, who came back to his senses, was instantly filled with huge surprises, and the huge gap from hell to heaven made him a little confused.
"Mentor Elvis!"
Ron touched his chest with his right hand and bowed deeply, whether it was facing a strong man or a mentor, he needed to repay it with the utmost respect.
"Everyone has their own secrets, but you have to learn to hide them. ”
Elvis tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled stiffly, "Go to Lab Seventy-Seven and find Locke, and I'll tell you some basic knowledge about apprentices." ”
After Elvis finished speaking, his body blurred and disappeared into the compartment like a handful of flying dust.
Having been apprenticed, Ron was in a good mood and walked straight out of the cubicle, handing the parchment back to her in the blonde's surprised eyes.
"Excuse me, what's going on with Lab Seventy-Seven?"
"Lab Seventy-Seven is on the seventh floor, you can find the flying slate in that direction and take you up. The blonde girl pointed in one direction.
"Thank you. Ron turned to leave.
"Wait. The blonde girl bit her lip and hesitated, but still reminded, "The Nightmare Tower is only open to the public on the first floor, and it is all forbidden to the outside world, because those lords hate to be disturbed, especially when conducting experiments. ”
"I see, thanks for the reminder. After walking a few steps, Ron stopped and asked, "I don't know the name yet?"
The girl smiled sweetly, revealing two dimples, "You can call me Tia." ”
"I remembered, a beautiful name, and I hope your kindness can help you. ”
"R-Eun-"
A strange elongated tone came from afar, echoing throughout the hall.
Ron froze, is this calling me?
"Whoever sees King Locke's new toy, tell the great King Locke, and I'll reward you with the freshest bait bug, which is King Locke's favorite snack. ”
"Ron, my little darling, where are you?"
"King Locke is coming to pick you up personally, come here!"
Ron resisted the twitching of the corners of his mouth and walked over.
A funny dark blue clown peaked hat was hovering in the air not far away, with a large sunken mouth on the hat, and a strange grin, and the apprentices around him all looked strange, apparently this situation had been seen many times.
As if sensing Ron's gaze, the hat spun and the big mouth was facing Ron, and a strange smile flew over.
"Quack Quack - Ron's little baby, you are here, the great Wizard Elvis has handed you over to me - the same great King Locke, you will obey the orders of Lord Locke in the future!"
"King Locke!"
Ron didn't know how he had called out the name, but it was conceivable that his expression must have twitched a little.
"Very well, quack-" Locke let out a strange laugh, "Next, the great King Locke will take you to my kingdom, Laboratory Seventy-Seven!"
In the corner of the hall, an apprentice glanced at Ron hurriedly, and quickly looked away, not daring to take another look, and thoughts began to roll in his heart.
"It's that damn hat again, how did it end up here?"
"Could it be that the miscellaneous soldier Ron passed that adult's assessment, no, I have to tell the mentor quickly, if another Turing comes out of the seventy-seventh laboratory, the angry Mentor Bane will definitely tear us apart!"
The apprentice hurried up to the flying stone slab with his head bowed, and flew into the depths of the Nightmare Tower.
Locke looked at his new toy with satisfaction, cruckled, and flew over his head.
Ron immediately felt the world spin around, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in a strange place.
Experimental instruments of different shapes, dazzling energy circuits, and busy elves are like dreams.
"Ron, you actually passed the test. Roy's surprised face came to his face.
"Stop, he's King Locke's toy!" King Locke yelled at Roy as he flew up.
"King Locke, your dinner!" Roy casually threw out a long gray-green worm as clear as a crystal.
"Gah-"
King Locke, who was yelling at Roy, suddenly screamed, and a dive, quickly biting the long worm thrown by Roy before hitting the ground.
"Oh, what a delicious baitworm, you're King Locke's favorite, Quack...... Quack ......"
While Locke reveled in the delicacy of the bait worm.
Roy shrugged, "Locke is a demon companion of the Mentor, and although he likes to play pranks, he is kind-hearted and knowledgeable, and I hope it doesn't scare you." ”
"Nope. ”
Ron shook his head, "It's just a little bit unsure why it likes to eat insects so much." ”
"That's no ordinary worm. ”
There was a pain on Roy's face, "The bait worm is a creature synthesized from the earth binding spirit and the thousand dew grass, and there is a semi-crystalline water spirit in the body, which is the favorite food of many bird monsters, and the price is not cheap. ”
"Roy, King Locke's new toy will be handed over to you, give me a good training and training him, King Locke is going to sleep!"
King Locke burped in satisfaction and flew away.
"It's good to get used to it, if you earn a magic crystal one day, remember to buy a pack of bait worms for it first, and he won't call you toys again. ”
"How do you earn magic crystals, just like I used to?"
Ron was a little surprised, he worked diligently as a miscellaneous servant for two years before he got two magic crystals, all of which were used to buy a low-level prophecy feather, could he become a wizard apprentice, and still can't get rid of the fate of miscellaneous servants.
"Of course not, after becoming an apprentice, we can take on some house assignments, or help the mentor, and we will all get paid. ”
As a senior, Roy began to seriously explain some of the things that apprentices need to know.
In his explanation, Ron knew that his mentor Elvis was not originally a wizard from the Southern Islands, but from the legendary central region - the Sodar continent, and the mentor had a total of nine apprentices under his name, including himself, except for two who failed to be promoted to official wizard and lost their souls in endless chaos, and now there are seven apprentices, the most outstanding of which Turing has been promoted to official wizard and went to the Sodal continent, and the rest are out on a mission to work hard for the promotion to official wizard.
"Lord Ron. ”
A delicate and sticky sound came, and the two looked back, and a green elf flew over holding a transparent crystal card.
Ron took the crystal card and took it cold, but he didn't know what it was for.
"Crystal card ready so soon?" Roy said in surprise.
"Activate the above spell, after activation, this crystal card can only be used by you, this is the identity certificate of the apprentice, and it is also the universal magic crystal token in the Nightmare Horn, and the rewards for completing the task are directly transferred to the magic crystal card. ”
Ron didn't understand how to input his mental power into the crystal card, and after a fluorescent flash, a black number appeared on the crystal card - 100.
"One hundred crystals!"
Roy looked at the numbers above in amazement, "When did the mentor become so generous, but I relied on the family subsidy for a whole year to earn my first magic crystal, and I can only earn twenty magic crystals a year now!"
Is it because of Kissman's hemolytic heart?
Ron's heart moved.
It doesn't matter if it's right or not, the more things that matter, the better.
