Chapter 388: Grey Robe Training
"It's so cruel, how can you let such a young child go to such a dangerous place with you! He's still a child! And he's so weak! You're so ruthless!"
The hysterical screams of the women almost pierced the walls of the dwarven buildings, making the master builders ashamed of their soundproofing. This may be the ability given to her by the god she believes in, the ability to collapse people just by shouting.
It took about two seconds for Cheese to realize what she was shouting, and there was a buzzing echo in his head. It was right to leave Yoni next door, even if the kid could accept the magic, he probably wouldn't be able to accept the stimulation, which was a damage that could not be offset by any number of calming spells. Fortunately, the messenger didn't really want to hurt him, she just overreacted, very excessively.
"Ma'am, please be quiet, your voice is a little, well, dizzy. Kairaz covered his ears and said to the other man, then turned to Cheese,
"But she was right. You're going to give the apprentice a trial, and that's fine. But you're going to have to act with a stranger, and you're going to have an oil bottle by your side, which won't be a good choice for you or him. β
The words of the cat fairy were also meant by everyone present, and if it was just Cheese acting alone, given the mage's wealth of knowledge and elusive spells, they would still have confidence.
But Yoni, the boy was only a nomad struggling to survive in the lower districts not so long ago, and even now that the beast disease has been stabilized by cheese, it is hard to imagine what practical role he can make. Even if it does, I'm afraid it will be a negative effect. It's hard to figure it out, because it stands to reason that Cheese, who initiated the operation, had no reason to hope that the operation would fail, but his decision seemed to be deliberately not wanting the operation to succeed, which was too contradictory.
"Contradictory? I don't think so. Grey Robe accepted his companion's questioning and smiled slightly, "You don't have to worry about me, because I will protect myself first than protect my apprentice, or if necessary, I will not hesitate to use him as a shield." It's not cold-blooded or any other quirk, I've worked so hard to revive people, and I don't want him to die easily. The problem is that he is going to be my disciple, to be trained to be a gray-robed person. In my memory, I wasn't the last to start training, but I was the last to grown. β
Yes, the training of the Gray Tower is never as simple as a competition of brain power and effort, it is a test between life and death, and it is a terrible act to expose children who are not even aware of what death is and make death a playmate.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that only people who grew up in that kind of environment can cut open the bodies of their own kind and even friends without any psychological burden, just to see the structure inside or the effects of disease and magic. The grey-robed apprentices trained may seem crazy to outsiders, but to a group of crazy people, normal people may not be normal. The premise is that they can see those people.
Cheese saw it, and he walked out of the tower where he had been imprisoned and nurtured, met the people outside, and realized what he had missed. So he began to become "normal", and began to hesitate before each dissection, although this hesitation was only for a very short moment, and the body that was already familiar with the process would take the initiative to help him complete the steps of the knife.
So far, he doesn't think it's a deterioration, on the contrary, if a person can maintain the cold-blooded style of the Gray Tower after so much contact with the world, then it is a problem. And the problem now is that if you want to train a gray robe like yourself, you can't be too gentle. Qiankun Audiobook.com
"That's tooβ" Kailas tried to say something, but he couldn't. He understood that it was impossible for someone like Cheese to have so much knowledge and power at his age not to pay a price, and that the more he gained, the more he would pay. And then again, Yuni did pick it up from Cheese, and said at the beginning that he wanted to take this apprentice, so what to do is his business.
Atta patted the cat elf on the shoulder and shook her head slightly. There are some things that don't have to be said, and some questions that don't have to be asked. Cheese's words made it clear that he was going to give the apprentice a trial, not to let the apprentice die, so it was obvious that in the mage's mind, this journey was not certain to die.
On the contrary, there must be some surplus to be regarded as an examination, and even the examiner himself is not sure of how can he use it to test others? Of course, it is certain that this trip is extremely dangerous, and the apprentice must be nine deaths and one life is also certain, and the difference is only that there is still a glimmer of life between nine deaths and ten deaths.
"Alright, don't talk about that anymore. In addition to my side, you will also set out tomorrow night, where your two groups will meet, and someone will take you to the enemy's place. Cheese said, taking out two strips of cloth with two addresses written on them, and he carefully identified them before handing them to Kairaz and Kenqi, obviously not wanting the two of them to go to the wrong place.
"Why, can't you gather together and act separately?Who are you looking for, and you are so timid in doing things?" the cat fairy glanced at the address rather dissatisfied, the place was not very far from here, "and why choose the night? You should understand that most of these things are afraid of the sun, isn't it more appropriate to act during the day?"
"You're right, but you have to consider what happens when you have vampires on your team. You can't expect those guys to do their sun protection. Cheese shrugged and answered two questions at once.
"Vampire? are you sure? How could you... Well, which family is it?Will the bloods haunt here, the black blood?" Kailas's face crumpled, but he quickly accepted the reality helplessly. Vampires tend to know their territory inside out and don't like to run around, and if there's one race that's best suited to be local guides, it's the Bloods. The premise is that you won't be treated like dinner by them.
"No, one, well, no, two of the Baraks. "Cheese didn't intend to hide Jung's lineage, Kailas was his companion, and Yuhe was only a temporary partner, so if something happened during the operation, it was important for Atta to know this information to prevent being sacrificed. It's just that even he, who was born in the Gray Tower, doesn't know much about the Barak bloodline, and the others are even more imaginable.
Sure enough, Kaylas once again showed an uneasy expression when he heard the name,
"You said this is equivalent to not saying it, everyone knows that among the six hidden clans, Barak has the highest degree of secrecy, and most people don't even know their family name. It's a shame that you've been able to find those guys in a matter of days, they're notable ascetics, and it's hard for sophisticated vampire hunters to spot them. β
"At least, that's true for both the enemy and the enemy. And what is the ability of the Barak bloodline, won't you have a chance to witness it with your own eyes this time? Thinking about it, I would like to exchange it with you. β
