Chapter 258: It's good when you come
Upton kept his head down and trotted toward his mentor Martin's lab with the breakfast prepared by the servants below.
He is Martin's only disciple today, why is he the only disciple now? That's because the previous disciples were all killed by the meditation method that Martin used to experiment with his own modifications, and he, as the youngest and weakest disciple, survived because his value was not as great as others.
However, Upton is still full of despair about his future, and sooner or later he will die at the hands of his mentor.
How excited Upton was when he was confirmed to be able to practice witchcraft, and at that time he was still looking forward to how beautiful he must have been when he became a wizard admired by thousands of people after mastering his extraordinary powers!
Now he has indeed become a small first-level wizard, and he is indeed very beautiful in front of ordinary people, but he also understands how cruel the wizard world is.
However, it is not that these so-called "disciples" have no hope, there is still some hope, otherwise, there would not be so many wizards in this wizarding world.
Some of them run away after learning a certain amount of knowledge, but most of them will be captured and face even more horrific torture.
Those who successfully escape will become wandering wizards, and because their knowledge is not perfect, most of them will not end up much better.
There is also some good luck, that is, when his mentor reaches the age of death, he really hopes to cultivate a disciple who can inherit his mantle, which is how most wizards in the world have passed it on. However, Upton didn't dare to look forward to this, although his teacher Martin looked half-dead, but he still had at least one or two hundred years to live, and this kind of good thing would not be his turn no matter how turned.
Upton sighed, buried his head deeper, and sped up walking towards his teacher, Martin's lab.
When he arrived at the door, Upton hesitated, he couldn't have heard such a big movement last night, but Martin had warned him that no matter what happened, he couldn't enter his laboratory without permission except to deliver food, so Upton listened with his ears pricked up in his room for a long time, and then lay back on the bed after no more sound, and couldn't sleep for a long time.
Upton's fist clenched slightly, he really hoped that after pushing the door open, he would see Martin's corpse when he entered, after all, it was not uncommon for wizards to die in an accident while doing experiments.
If Martin dies, then he is free! Don't live in this constant panic anymore.
Upton thought like this, and it didn't take long for him to come back to his senses, show a wry smile, shake his head, and throw these unrealistic ideas out of his mind.
"Squeak!" Upton pushed open the stone door with his free hand, and then slowly walked in on his side.
Upton just opened his mouth and shouted, "Teacher......"
Before he finished speaking, he felt a chill coming from his neck and the breath of death coming from behind him.
"Don't move, move your head and your head will fall off." Claire said softly.
Upton's body trembled uncontrollably and swallowed, he couldn't understand what Claire meant by this sentence!
"My lord! Calm down, I'm weak! You say it again, I'll listen carefully. ”
Claire slapped her left hand on the door of her head, "Oh, I forgot, there's such a thing as a language barrier." ”
At this time, Claire was a little glad that she had traded the "spiritual connection" before, which was just suitable for this kind of language barrier, and after throwing a spiritual link to the other party, Claire asked again.
"What's your relationship with Martin?"
Countless thoughts flashed through Upton's mind in an instant, what should I say! He obviously has a grudge against Martin, and if I say I'm Martin's disciple, I won't kill me like this, will I?
But my relationship with Martin isn't that good! I wish he had died sooner, or I would have died!
But what am I going to say about him to believe I'm not lying!
In Upton's panic, Claire spoke again, "Okay, don't think about it anymore, I know your relationship." ”
The other party's spiritual world is completely open, and all the thoughts Claire has received without leaking, and the wizards in this world don't seem to pay much attention to the spiritual aspect, if it is the mage of Claire's world, he can control his spiritual world a little bit to prevent his thoughts from diverging.
Claire reached out and took the breakfast from the other hand, he had been in the spatial passage for an unknown amount of time, and after last night's fight, he was already hungry.
"It's the teacher's breakfast......," Upton said weakly.
"Martin is dead." Claire said lightly, took the food on the board and tasted it, it tasted okay.
Upton's mood at this moment was a little subtle and complicated, and he couldn't say what the specific emotion was.
Ignoring the other party, Claire chewed on the food a few times, then pointed to the corner and said to Upton, "There." ”
Upton flickered from his senses and replied with a look of confusion, "Huh? ”
"Go there and squat, don't stand up if I don't speak."
Hearing Claire's words, Upton didn't even ask, and went directly to the corner of the wall and squatted down with his head in his hands, which is a habit cultivated after following Martin for a long time, do more things, be more obedient, don't ask nonsense.
For these disciples, sometimes if they say one more sentence or make such an action, Martin will make a note of the special case of you who are walking alone, and the next experimental material will be you!
After Upton squatted down, Claire also knew what kind of character the other party was from the spiritual connection, not a person who would make trouble, so she turned around with confidence and walked towards Martin's body, as soon as Claire woke up, Upton pushed the door in, so he didn't have time to search for the body.
Claire didn't actually want to search the corpse and touch any treasures, he just wanted to find the big ball of light that could shuttle back to the original world, he didn't want to stay in this world, and finally found an anchor in the mage world, Claire didn't want to do it all over again.
Nafu City can't do without him as a lord, and the people of Nafu City are still waiting for him to return!
Claire's eyes scanned the ground and easily found the large ball of light, which Martin didn't put in, or maybe the situation was too urgent to put it in.
Claire walked over quickly, picked up the big ball of light on the ground, held it in her hand, closed her eyes and felt the position of the small ball of light.
After half a ring, Claire's eyes slowly opened, and there was disbelief in her eyes.
"How is that possible! Why can't I feel the position of that little ball of light? ”
Claire closed her eyes and sensed it without believing it, but the result was the same, and in the end, Claire took out the set of light balls she traded and closed her eyes and sensed it, obviously she could perceive it! Why doesn't Martin's this work?
There is only one possibility, and that is that the small ball of light had a problem after the teleportation ended, and it was damaged, so Claire could not perceive its location now.
"I'll you!" Claire gritted her teeth and scolded, smashing the big ball of light in her hand to the ground!
Upton, who was in the corner, trembled when he heard Claire's roar, but he tried his best to control his body and try not to make a sound, so that Claire would not transfer her anger to him.
Claire's gaze changed several times, "Then how am I going back?!" ”
