Chapter 46: The Mentor (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~)
Early the next morning, there was a knock at the door.
"It's coming. ”
Kevin dressed up and combed his hair before opening the door.
The sunlight poured into the house, and the person who came was fat, big-eared, bloated, and the fat on his stomach almost hung down to his thighs, and his height was not as high as Kevin, and the whole person looked like a mountain of meat.
"My name is Aragorn Roland, and my mentor and I only received a notice yesterday, it's not easy, we finally have a new person in our line. ”
As he spoke, Aragorn's small eyes narrowed into a slit, and a warm smile hung on his face, as if with a natural sense of intimacy.
"Good Aragon seniors. ”
Kevin did not slack off in the slightest, bent down and saluted respectfully, he never looked down on anyone because of his appearance, he could become a disciple of the mentor like him, and the person in front of him must not be simple.
"Don't don't, they're all disciples of the master, just call me Aragorn. In the middle of the ceremony, Aragorn came running with his fat and lifted Kevin up without a shelf, "Let's go, don't keep the mentor waiting." ”
Walking side by side in the narrow corridors, Aragorn kindly explained the precautions of many of the students and the functions of the various buildings.
Along the way, there were laughs and stories, and the interesting stories and legends that happened in the academy were told by Aragon.
"Senior Aragon, listen to your tone, haven't we recruited new people in this vein for a long time?" asked Kevin in between words.
"Of course not, enrollment is going on every year. Aragorn smiled and put his arm around Kevin's shoulders and said enthusiastically, "It's just that the requirements of the mentor are very high, and they must be both fire and shadow affinities, and their qualifications must be higher than the third level." So it's been so long, and it's only the two of us. ”
Kevin nodded abruptly: "That's right, I see." ”
This explanation made sense, and it dispelled his concerns.
Ever since yesterday's inexplicable association, he had become suspicious, and if there was anything that was not determined by his will, it was only Mostein who had forcibly admitted him to the academy.
After a casual conversation, Aragorn made seven or eight turns, bypassing the middle school building and coming to a wizard's tower.
The wizard's tower is as black as ink, about ten meters high, round at the top and below, not beautiful, and there is a water curtain at the entrance.
Aragorn reached into his pocket and fumbled for a while, then took out a triangular stone and handed it over: "This is the pass of the Wizard's Tower, and you will not be attacked by the ban with it." The mentor should be on the second floor, so I won't go in. ”
"By the way, the mentor's name is Vodorik, don't be mistaken. Before leaving, Aragorn patted his head and added.
"Okay, I'm sorry for you. ”
After Aragorn left, Kevin took a deep breath, held the stone in his hand, and stepped into the wizard's tower.
"Hmmm. ”
The curtain of water fluctuated slightly, and disappeared the moment it made contact with the body.
With its dark red blankets, pear blossom stone tables and chairs, and dazzling rotating glass lights, the first floor of the Wizard's Tower is a living room.
Kevin swept around, but saw no figure, and was about to go up the stairs around the corner when he suddenly froze in place.
Colorful poisonous snakes occupy the entire staircase, densely packed and numerous, and it looks like it makes people's scalp tingle.
"Hiss. ”
Some venomous snakes noticed this Kevin's uninvited guest, and coiled high in the snake waves, spitting out a crimson snake letter, and the pupils glowed with cold light, making an attack.
"What kind of strange fetish is this Vodorik, who likes to raise poisonous snakes in the wizard's tower?" Kevin said slowly, inwardly.
"Come up. ”
Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the top of the stairs.
As soon as the words fell, the vipers seemed to have received an order, and they swam their bodies one after another, squeezing to the sides, and making way for a place to stay.
Kevin walked up to the second floor step by step, paying attention to his feet, for fear of stepping on a poisonous snake that would upset the mentor before they met.
The second floor was large, with only one study open, and a middle-aged man with his legs crossed on the table looked at Kevin with interest.
The man's right eye was covered by his long dark green hair, and the pupil of the exposed left eye was longitudinal and line-shaped, like the eyes of some kind of snake.
His skin was sickly pale, his lips were slightly purple, his facial features were angular, and his earlobes were covered with black earrings.
"Dear Mentor Vodorik, I am your freshman, Kevin Norton. ”
As soon as Kevin walked into the study, the door behind him closed automatically, and the neighing of the viper on the steps was inaudible.
A strange smile appeared at the corner of Vodorik's mouth, and his body continued to maintain its original posture.
"Whoosh. ”
His head detached from his body, his neck extended indefinitely, and two blue and white fangs opened and flew towards Kevin.
Vodorik's head and neck, like a giant python, began at the leg and wound upwards in circles until Kevin's body was completely tied.
Kevin stiffened, his body straightened, like a small animal caught by a python, and asked with difficulty, "Mentor... You are. ”
Vodorik's huge head was facing Kevin, he stretched out his slippery tongue, licked Kevin's cheek, and drooled: "There is no lining in the body, but the physical fitness is stronger than that of a knight, and the mental strength is comparable to that of a third-class apprentice, you are really not simple." ”
Kevin felt a chill in his heart, not only because of the abnormality of his body that was revealed by Vodorik's words, but also because his movements were too disgusting.
"How can there be such a strange mentor, Vdolik's habits of life, can't he be of an alien race?"
Kevin barely squeezed out a smile, just about to say the prepared words: "Mentor..."
"Forget it, everyone has secrets, and I'm not interested in knowing. ”
Suddenly, Vodorik retracted his head into his body, turning into the appearance of the first meeting, and he said lightly: "It's a pity, you have a complete bloodline gene in your body, if you do bloodline modification, it may outweigh the loss." ”
"From this day forward, you are my student of Vordolick. Vodorik spoke with a look of pride, as if it was a great honor to be his student.
Kevin wiped the saliva from his face and replied respectfully, "Yes, Mentor." ”
"I'm proficient in five subjects, you can pick two for free, and you have to pay magic stones for the other three. Also, I can answer you one question a week for free, and the extra questions will cost you five magic stones each. ”
Vodorik's tone was natural, not embarrassed by the fact that Kevin was his student.
"Of course, that's the price I should pay. After talking to the hooded man, Kevin was already prepared.
Today's mentors in the wizarding world follow the principle of equivalent exchange.
"These five disciplines are Fire Sorcery, Shadow Sorcery, Biological Variation, and Blood Transformation. ”
Vodoric paused, then suddenly said in an aggravated tone, "And the last one, the science of asticulty." Which two will you choose?"
