Vane and many other apprentices lived on the first floor, the black tower was hollow inside, and the ring walls were full of large and small rooms, enough for them to live in. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Frank, and Taylor. Is there anything you guys are up to?" Vane opened the door to find that it was the two apprentices who had gone to the public class with him during the day.

"Hey, Vane. The two entered the room and immediately got straight to the topic: "What we told you a few days ago, how did you think about it?"

Vane frowned suddenly, shrugged his shoulders at the moment, and said indifferently: "I'm sorry, I think the top priority now is to learn more knowledge, and I don't want to get involved in too many chores." ”

The two men were clearly here for the events of the previous day. They had previously invited themselves to join an apprenticeship organization, but Vane politely declined.

In fact, in a legendary academy like Bones Town, there are tens of thousands of apprentices. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, which are naturally divided into various apprenticeship organizations, large and small.

Frank and Taylor were recruited by an apprenticeship organization called the Necrotherapy Society, which seems to have been recruiting people and expanding their influence recently. Frank and Taylor had just joined, and if they wanted to make a difference, they helped pull people around, and Vane was naturally among them.

It's a pity that Vane doesn't look down on this organization.

"An apprenticeship organization, so hungry that even some first-class wizard apprentices who are just getting started, there must be something wrong with it. Although Vane didn't know much about the apprentice forces in Bones Town, his years of experience instinctively told him that it was not easy.

Moreover, all organizations are essentially pyramid structures, where a few people at the top are squeezing the majority of the people at the bottom, and in order not to make the people at the bottom despair, they cleverly let go of an upward channel, telling the people at the bottom that as long as they work hard, they can still reach the top, give the people at the bottom a little hope, and then continue to squeeze them even more. "Vane was a liberal in the old world, researching and traveling alone.

If you are used to freedom, you don't want to be bound.

"I'm sorry, both. Frank and Taylor seemed to want to persuade something, but Vane had already spoken first: "It's not too early, if Butler Thomson finds out that you don't sleep at the time and sneak out, you will probably be reprimanded." ”

Frank and Taylor looked at each other, naturally knowing that Wayne had given the order to evict the guest.

Then the two said, "Then we won't bother you, if you change your mind one day, you can still come to us." ”

The two closed the door and turned to leave.

"This idiot. When he went out, Taylor's face was immediately gloomy, and he scolded in a low voice: "Does he think he can survive alone, it's just a fool's dream!"

"That's right, in this dark wizard academy, there is a crisis everywhere. If you want to survive, you must rely on it. Frank was also depressed.

In fact, apprentices like them, who have no support and no background, it is indeed a good choice to join a small group. However, this does not apply to Venn.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, Vane washed up early and went to the lobby on the first floor to prepare breakfast.

The rules in the Black Tower are strict, including when to go to bed and when to get up, are clearly engraved on the living table, and the butler Thomson strictly follows the rules, if someone is lazy to sleep, he will definitely be severely punished.

Sometimes, Wayne wondered if the butler had obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Vane came to the hall and found that the breakfast environment was a bit strange today.

First of all, the number of those old apprentices seems to have decreased by more than half at this moment, and only seven of the original sixteen people are left at the moment, and more than half of them are gone.

Then Thomson, the butler who had been supervising them, was not in the hall at the moment, which made everyone who could only eat breakfast quietly before and did not dare to do extra actions, gradually became active.

"Good morning, Vaen. Frank nodded to Vane in acknowledgment. He was smiling, as if he had forgotten the unhappiness of the previous night.

Vane naturally greeted him as well, then sat down next to Frank and Taylor, and asked curiously, "What's wrong today?"

Frank glanced in the direction of the top of the tower, then whispered, "Mentor Jared may be coming." ”

Vane was shocked.

This mentor, who has been seeing the dragon for half a month, is finally willing to come out to meet everyone.

In fact, Vane had already inquired about this mysterious mentor before.

Jared Gandalf, a first-class wizard whose main research direction is curse science and puppetry, is not well-known in the entire academy, and he is very low-key, often difficult to get out of the tower once a year.

However, this does not mean that Jared is weak, you must know that this first-level wizard has quite a lot of achievements in curse science and puppetry. And the curse science in it is weird and strange to make people unguardable, which is why Haig had to give him face when he first came to the academy.

"What about the old apprentices, how do you think they are so far less numerous?" Vane continued.

Taylor and Frank shook their heads, indicating that they didn't know what was going on either.

Everyone was whispering, and suddenly, the iron pillar in the center of the hall made a clang, and an iron door in front of the pillar opened, and a black mist poured out, and two figures came out of it.

At this time, the remaining seven old apprentices immediately stood up with respectful expressions. Vane and the others also guessed something, and they all learned to stand up.

An old man led by "cough, cough, cough" suddenly bent down and coughed violently, and Thomson next to him immediately helped the old man up, looking nervous.

Vane then noticed that the old man looked at least old, with gray hair and wrinkled skin, the left half of his face was completely withered, and his cloudy eyes were similar to those of a puppet, as if half a foot had stepped into a coffin.

This must be the mysterious Mentor Jared.

After a moment of coughing violently, Jared seemed to feel better, and walked slowly in front of the group, glancing over to them.

"They're all good boys, good, good. Jared said something in a hoarse voice that the newcomers didn't understand.

At this time, Frank and Taylor, as well as the other two newcomers, looked nervous, after all, this was the first meeting with the mentor. If you leave a bad impression, the rest of your apprenticeship will probably be in the shadows.

"You guys are new here. Jared said as he stared at Vane and the others at this time.

Everyone nodded for a while.

"Very well, you can study with these seniors of yours in the future. Jared pointed to the old students and said to the newcomers to Vane, "I've been conducting an important experiment recently, which is very important to me, so I won't care about you for the time being. ”

As soon as he said this, Vane and the others were naturally disappointed. After all, being able to receive the guidance of a formal wizard is precious to rookies like them
