Chapter 9 Mentor Apprentice
"Hahaha, Maxwell, we can't help each other anyway. How about you just stop here?"
A loud voice rang out, and the two mentors flew back. Gerald had a smile on his face, he thought that in the case of a sneak attack, he had delayed for so long, and the other party did not know what the loss would be. Even if all the people on the Flame Throne were captured, it would be possible. That way he would wake up laughing when he dreamed.
Maxwell's face was gloomy and ugly, and he didn't say a word. He was still annoyed by his carelessness, he knew that something would happen, so he had to prepare.
Suddenly, when they saw the scene on the ship, they couldn't help but widen their eyes, which was beyond imagination.
The two sides are facing off, behind the Flame Throne are more than a hundred captives, and high on the ship stands Jim's five. No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a loss.
Look at the other side again, dejected, I don't understand what the situation is.
Max Well, who had a cold face, suddenly laughed: "Okay, okay, let's stop today." Welcome to your next sneak attack. Hahahaha, hahaha. ”
Gerald snorted coldly and flew to the ship to drive the ship away. The flying claws connecting the two ships had not yet been removed, but he insisted on driving the ships away regardless of it.
I only heard a thudding thud, and the claws were torn off by a powerful force. Even the two ships were torn and shaken, which showed the anger in his heart.
To Maxwell's cheerful laughter, the ship sped to the bottom of the sea and disappeared.
Maxwell glanced at the people on the boat, finally fixed his eyes on the Jim Five, and said with satisfaction, "Very good, you guys did a good job." ”
Rigana bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "It's all the mentor's command." ”
Maxwell let out an "um" and prepared to return to the cabin.
Just then, an abrupt voice came. "Thank you for the compliment. If it weren't for Senior Jim, who used acid sputtering, I wouldn't have been able to use his prestige to command the entire ship's apprentices. ”
When Maxwell heard this, he looked over and saw that it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, and he saluted respectfully to himself. The words clearly attribute the credit for this victory to himself.
Glancing up, Regana, whose face was a little pale, didn't understand where he didn't understand, there must be some reason he didn't know.
Snorted coldly and said, "Jim, you guys come with me, I have something to ask." Cecil, you command the apprentices to arrange the apprentices of the Scarlet Thunder Academy. ”
"Yes. ”
Vernal looked at Daniel and said anxiously, "What did you interject just now, this time you will definitely be hated by Rigana and them, be careful." ”
"Got it, I'll pay attention. ”
Daniel didn't think so, he had to interject just now. In order to be able to command the apprentices on the ship, he was ruthless, not only a dozen apprentices were whipped by him, but even beat Rigana and threatened them. If he doesn't get any benefits, he wants to do something.
Besides, if he doesn't intervene and gives the credit to Regana, will the other party let him go? Looking at Rigana's vicious eyes, she is not so kind.
In the evening, there is a knock on the door, and Daniel opens the door, and it is a regana with an ugly face. I heard her say, "Come with me, the mentor wants to see you." ”
The voice was cold, obviously hating him.
Daniel was unimpressed. Life is a fight for words, and she punched Regana, even if she gave her the credit, she would inevitably be hated. It is better to take the credit and make yourself valued by the mentor.
Maxwell stared at him for a moment before he said, "Good, you're good." ”
Daniel didn't know what he meant, whether he was saying that he was really good, or if he was threatening the Rigana and the others, so he had to stand there and not speak.
"You've done a good job this time, not only have you captured more than 100 apprentices, but you've also got Sam, an apprentice who has awakened the talent of the dark department. Not bad. How do you say I should be rewarded, and what needs are needed. ”
Daniel had long noticed that the apprentice next to him with a cold face was the leader of the other party who was captured by him. He was injured in the arm by Jim splashing with acid, but he didn't expect to be cured by his mentor now. It seems that he is the Sam that the mentor is talking about.
"It's all the mentor's command, and Daniel doesn't dare to take credit. ”
Maxwell shook the red wine in his goblet, in a very good mood. "You don't have to give me face, I was careless this time, and I almost messed up this task. Although I don't care very much, but after all, it's about my face, so let's do it, you will be my apprentice in the future, and I will answer you three questions for free. Think about it and ask again. ”
With that, he waved Sam away.
The reason why Daniel took such a big risk was not to get the attention of his mentor. He had looked it up from the library and knew about the teaching model of the college.
The Flame Throne Wizard Academy has thirty or forty thousand wizard apprentices, but there are only twenty-four mentors, which is obviously impossible to teach.
In addition to lecturing, the instructor usually lets the apprentices learn by themselves, and if there are any problems, they can only go to the library to consult the materials.
As for getting guidance from a mentor, don't even think about it. Unless you can get the attention of your mentor and accept you as a private apprentice, you can get the guidance of your mentor.
"Thank you, mentor, my first question is, why do academies recruit apprentices? What is the purpose?"
This is a long-standing question Daniel has had as to why a wizard would think of training a wizard apprentice. With their emphasis on the principle of equal dealing, he doesn't believe it if there is no benefit.
"Do you have one question or three questions. Well, I'll tell you. This is the meaning of the top management of the Wizarding Alliance, to train qualified wizards for the Alliance. So you don't have to worry about what's wrong with it. As for the purpose, of course, it is to train qualified fighters. ”
Daniel was shocked. He hadn't heard of the Wizards Alliance, but he understood that it was the entire Wizards' Alliance. Why does the alliance train so many warriors, is it to fight?
Or maybe the Wizarding Alliance is at war right now, but I don't realize it. It seems that he will develop in this direction in the future.
Daniel then reacted that he could develop as he wished. It doesn't have to be a fighter.
In a complete society, every component cannot be missing. Even in the famine years, the nobles of Zhumen who smelled of wine and meat were still indispensable. No matter how frequent wars are, there are paradises that don't hear about wars.
The difference is only how difficult it is.
"The second question I want to ask is what a wizard is. ”
Instead of answering directly, Maxwell asked, "What do you think a wizard is." ”
"Wizards wield great power, are mysterious and knowledgeable. ”
"Yes and no. Once upon a time, there were countless people in this land with mysterious powers, wizards, mages, priests, and priests. There are also many powerful races, dwarves, elves, dragons, devils, and demons. Compared to them, wizards are nothing.
But why is it that only wizards are left in the world now? That's because wizards are the most studious and very tolerant people in the world.
They will do whatever it takes to pursue the truth. Even at the cost of death.
In the wizarding world, you can see not only elemental wizards who use magic, but also mechanical wizards who use machinery, spiritual wizards who use mental power, and wizards who use different paths such as alchemy, curses, body refining, and sacrifices.
There is only the unexpected, there is no wizard that cannot be met. ”
"Alright, your third question. ”
Hearing the impatience in the other man's tone, Daniel asked, "What should a wizard pursue, or what is the most important thing?"
"Knowledge, the most important thing for a wizard is knowledge. Knowledge is power. Treasures are valuable, but knowledge is priceless. If you can get endless knowledge, then you are the king of wizards. ”
I like knowledge. A smile tugged at the corner of Daniel's mouth. Behind him stood a whole world. Maybe he has almost forgotten the knowledge of his previous life, but the general idea is still there, with the assistance of the chip, it is not difficult to restore it, and even go further with the help of the wizard system.
"Thank you, mentor, then I'll step back first. ”
Maxwell waved his hand and told him to leave.
"Congratulations to my mentor. ”
Daniel met Cecil as soon as he came out, apparently the other party was waiting for him here.
"It's just a fluke, seniors are waiting for me here?"
"It's nothing, by the way, the mentor is looking for something about you. ”
Daniel instantly understood that this kid was trying to ask for favors. Although he was very angry in his heart, he didn't show any expression on his face, who made himself inferior to others now.
"Nothing, just that he wanted me to be his apprentice. ”
"Apprentice!" could be heard, and Cecil's voice was filled with envy.
"You're in luck. Do you know how much it cost me to get my mentor to accept it? I remember that I spent the price of five hundred magic stones, and only after becoming a second-level apprentice did I let the mentor accept it. ”
"It's just luck, what's the use of being an apprentice, I don't think it's anything!" asked Daniel duly.
"It can't be said that becoming an apprentice can assist the mentor in experiments, and you can buy cheap items in the mentor's hands to get his cultivation. Ordinary apprentices, on the other hand, can only grope in the school on their own, and what to buy must be bought at full price or even have no way. ”
Daniel understands that it's like having no backstage in the back, and those who have the backstage are cultivated, and they can get access to better guidance, and of course progress is fast.
Listening to Cecil, it is very difficult to become a mentor apprentice. If you don't have talent, you have to pay a lot of money.
If it weren't for Daniel's great contribution this time, Maxwell would not have been able to take him.
The benefits of being an apprentice, something else you don't know yet, are now being felt. Hearing Maxwell accept him as a student, Cecil didn't say anything other than congratulations.
He's here to ask for favors. How could it be just now, how could it be that you should spit out most of the benefits of the teacher's reward. There is no reason, who makes you lowly in strength. Now it can only be said that it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
