Chapter 217: Master and Apprentice
D'Ardarion took off the boot on his left foot, knocked twice on the small tree beside him, poured out the weeds and pebbles inside, and couldn't help but complain, "Is there any mistake, why did those two guys run to the northeast again, and when will they be a head when they chase after them like this?" β
Olavien sat on horseback and looked at the map in his hand, and they followed Rob and Lolo all the way to Risstanton, only to have left the place more than three months earlier.
"A week ago, there was a movement in Annarip, and many people in the town of Ram, less than fifty miles from there, saw it, and the time was calculated to be when Ettlaide Richard Holstein called for help. Olavien's gaze stopped somewhere on the map and muttered.
"Don't, it's okay to eat dirt in this hellish place, I don't want to climb the snowy mountains anymore. D'Ardarion rolled his eyes and put the dirty boot back on his foot.
Olavien snorted, "Atholt's Wizards' Guild has a teleportation array, where you can directly teleport to Movila, and then go to Hilzer from Movila, and after arriving at Hilze, it is only a hundred miles away from Ram Town, and you can get there in a day on horseback." β
D'Addarion protested, "Hey, are you listening to me, I said I wouldn't go to Annarip!!"
Olavien put away the map and looked calm, "I'm listening to your advice, but your advice doesn't help us find Ettlaide Richard Holstein, so I'll just continue with my plan." β
The former president of the Gudris Wizards' Guild was amused by this.
Olavi paused and then spoke, "Speaking of which, aren't you and him brothers, aren't you worried about him when he was obviously in danger before?"
D'Addarion glanced at his lips, "With his strength, coupled with the movements of the past few days, I don't think the temple can deal with him, in other words, if he is all killed, we will only continue to deliver food, so I don't want to go to Anarip and report our findings to the Council, and see what it says." β
Olavien shook her head, "Someone has to go over there first, and if it's dangerous, there's no one better suited than us." β
D'Ardarion lamented, "I don't want to partner with you anymore, or a few lives won't be enough for you to toss." β
While Olavien and D'Ardarion were heading towards the Snowy Mountains, Steins, the head of the Royal Academy of Magic and Magic of the Tees, had just returned from the Council, which was usually held every three months, but it had been less than twenty days since the last time everyone had met.
The meeting was chaired by Steins, and everyone in the room knew what the topic was.
The star that appeared in the sky a week ago, many mages didn't know what it was, but the council knew exactly where it came from, but their focus wasn't on it, but on the mana-sharing mechanics that followed.
The people sitting here are the absolute high-level of the Magicians Association, and their vision is not bad, they can see the importance of this mechanism for magicians at the first time, just imagine, if the magic network can be built, then all magicians can share mana, and there will almost no longer be a shortage of mana, and then magicians will truly become an invincible profession on the Dawn Continent.
This means the arrival of a new era, this event is definitely a cross-era milestone in the history of magic, perhaps second only to Roland's creation of a modern magic system, and this possibility alone makes a group of eighth- and ninth-order magicians excited.
So at this stage, the main focus of the Wizards Association is to find Rob, but this matter is not easy, the latter has been running from the Royal Academy of Magic of Teist for three years, and he did not reappear until the battle of Gudris, and then disappeared immediately, although each branch is paying attention to its own area, but everyone is actually very clear in their hearts that it is unrealistic to rely on ordinary magicians to find Rob's traces, and now the main person in charge of this matter is Olavian, the proud disciple of Arbus, and the former ace of Rob's Tister Royal Academy of Magic, Dadarion, which is the second only to Rob in the new generationγ
In the latest news obtained by the Council, the two of them have just left Riestanton and chased to the northeast, and their biggest advantage over Rob is that they can use the teleportation array of the Wizard Guild along the way to get away, so strictly speaking, the distance between the two sides is shrinking during this time, but it is still not easy to find Rob.
Steines returned to his quarters, intending to finish the rest of the experiment before leaving the house, but as soon as he entered the magic tower, he noticed something.
The magician's magic tower belongs to the absolute private realm, and the magician is physically weak compared to other professions, so he also attaches great importance to his own protection, as a stronghold, the magic tower is tightly defended, and the magician will also strengthen it regularly, especially the magic tower of the ninth-order super magic master, which has reached a very terrifying situation under the accumulation of time, and the difficulty of attacking is even more than that of the dragon slayer, and it is almost impossible for others to sneak in quietly.
Unless, that person has lived on this tower for many years.
"Teacher. The boy spoke.
It's been three years since the last time the master and apprentice met.
Steines didn't seem to have changed much, didn't speak, took off his robe and hung it on the hanger, changed into a coat, and then put on a pair of swim bladder gloves, and then hooked Rob's hand.
The latter followed him into the laboratory on the second floor, and on the marble laboratory table was the corpse of half of the Abyss Lord, a powerful monster with strength close to the ninth order, with incredible vitality, even if it had been killed for half a year, the corpse was still fresh, and even new tissues were growing.
Steines picked up a scalpel, cut open the monster's pancreas, found the bile duct in the back, and used the test tube to take a part of the bile, while Rob on the other side also mixed the silver blue grass and red sea fat to complete the heating, Steines put the bile into it, and observed the changes in the test tube.
The two of them worked together in the lab, and they had done similar things countless times before.
Steines kept track of the time with an hourglass, and in three minutes was about to add another magical material to the test tube, when Rob reminded, "Teacher, the blood of the Kodomon is more stable than that of the iron-backed rhinoceros. β
Steines nodded, and added the blood of the Kodomon, as if a drop of oil fell into the water, and the potion in the test tube boiled violently, which was very violent, but within the tolerable range, and finally successfully completed the fusion, and obtained a bottle of amber strange liquid.
Steines sealed the bottle of liquid, carefully put it away in the cabinet, took off the swim bladder gloves, and finally raised his eyes to look at the young man on the other side, and snorted coldly, "You still know to come back." β
