"You're going to take me as an apprentice?"

If any student in the academy heard Master Stephen say such a thing, he would probably be overjoyed. But El is not surprised, because he has always been very self-aware. His current skills are all mixed up in the mountains, and because of this, he has not received any serious education since he was a child, and to put it mildly, he is still half illiterate.

The news was so shocking that El was a little dazed for a moment, but he didn't notice the strange thoughtful look of the great alchemist.

"Master Stephen, I don't know what you misunderstood, but I'm just ......"

"You think I look like an old-eyed idiot?" asked the old man with a cold face.

"Of course not. El shook his head categorically, although he did think this for a moment in his heart, but in his current state, it was better not to admit it.

"It doesn't matter if you don't know a word, I don't plan to teach you alchemy anyway. Stephen looked at El's gaze faintly shining: "What I'm interested in is your ability to use runes. ”

"Actually, I don't know how I learned it. "El is honest and he's completely self-taught in this regard. The first rune, "El", has grown up with him for as long as he can remember, and it is as natural as eating and drinking. If it weren't for the fact that his adoptive father had taught him some superficial rune knowledge, he would have thought that this was a natural ability like a demonic beast. As for the second rune, "Waltz", he had only seen it once in Powell's workshop, and then he had mastered some fur in ignorance.

It wasn't until that night's bloody battle that the power of the two runes really broke out at the moment of life and death. As for the true nature of that power, El, who had just woken up, had not yet had time to recall.

"No one can 'learn' the power of runes, which is the embodiment of the laws of heaven and earth at the beginning of creation. The runic power you use does not come from the outside world, but from the ancient bloodline that lurks within you. When you call the 'real name' of the rune, the corresponding rules are revealed. ”

Stephen stretched out his finger and drew strange runes in the air, but the runes he drew did not shine with a dark blue light, but only in shape.

"Legend has it that the ancestors of mankind in ancient times walked on the earth, with stars on their heads, and their fists could crush mountains. But today, the ancient bloodline has long since withered. Among the tens of millions of people in the Oakland Kingdom, there are only a handful of lucky people who can awaken the bloodline of their ancestors. And you, just one of them. ”

I don't really understand it, but it seems to be very powerful...... El had straight eyes and an expression written all over his face.

"To put it simply, you inherited the power to call runes from the bloodline of an ancestor. Mages usually name lucky people like you 'Runemaster', a branch of Warlocks. ”

"I'm a magician too?" El was almost stunned.

"It's not a mage, it's a warlock, a warlock who uses his own bloodline to inherit and cast spells...... Now you won't understand this either. In short, if you want to learn about your own bloodline and runes, you have to be my apprentice, and I am the only one in Istalon who has this qualification and ability, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand, you will be my teacher from now on. Elf nodded repeatedly, a little confused, but it sounded like a good thing. A country turtle with nothing to do is not worth the trouble of a big man like others.

"You're not qualified to call me a teacher. Stephen waved his hand and shook his head, "When you get better, I'll give you an aptitude test, and if you can't pass, you'll still be a waste." ”

If Lao Tzu can get up now, three hundred meters away, you will know what is waste! El thought to himself, but a flattering smile appeared on his face. The one who knows the times is Junjie, and he can't make this old man angry now.

"Teacher...... Master Stephen, that pet of mine...... Can you give it back to me?" Seeing Stephen turn to leave, El quickly pleaded. The old man was nervous, and he had wrapped silk threads around the eggs so many times, and he didn't know what he wanted to do with the little things.

"Don't worry about this little guy, take care of your own injuries before you can make her wake up. Stephen placed the eggs next to El's pillow, turned and lifted the tent curtain and walked out.

"It's just the two of us left. El said to himself, struggling to turn his head to look closely, only to realize that it was not a silk thread tied to the egg, but some kind of magical mark that emitted a faint light. Perhaps it was because of these magical marks that he couldn't feel the little heartbeat he was familiar with inside the eggs.

Even if you're not a magician, you're probably a "spellcaster". He had heard Master Powell say this name before, but he didn't associate it with himself at that time.

In this world, the caster holds mysterious wisdom and power, so his status is far above that of ordinary nobles. El once dreamed of becoming a noble lord, but never imagined that he could become one of the spellcasters.

However, what El envies now is only the status of the caster, and he has no feeling for the wisdom and power they possess. He had also seen magician girls perform wonderful and gorgeous illusions, but he didn't think they were very powerful.

The beasts of the jungle trust only their bodies and minions, and with the exception of those at the top of the food chain, the vast majority of beasts tend to hunt in lurk. Even powerful magical beasts do not rely on their own innate magic, but more on their own strength.

As a great hunter who believes in the laws of nature, El instinctively rejects those "mysterious magic" with great sound and light effects, and as for the runes that he can use, they are low-key, convenient, and fast, and have strong auxiliary effects, so they can be regarded as a necessary tool for killing people and setting fires during home travel.

It is good to be able to ask Master Stephen about the use of rune power, but he is completely self-taught, and if there is no one to guide him, it is basically impossible to make any progress. But then again, it's still a mystery why the great alchemist is interested in him. El just listened to Stephen's words, he never believed in pie-in-the-sky good things.

In particular, this old gentleman is also Miss Laulana's teacher, which is even more intriguing. The old merchant Jupiter has a straightforward temper and does not have many eyes, and it stands to reason that his own daughter should also inherit the character. Now the little fox that has mutated is probably due to her teacher.

Thinking of this, El couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

As if to confirm his suspicions, Master Stephen had not been gone long before the curtain of the tent was lifted again, revealing a familiar face with a smiling smile.

"I heard that there was a warrior who braved the enemy camp alone and brought back vital information, and because of this, he won the favor of the mysterious beautiful girl beside the lord......" Lorana tiptoed in, raising the corners of her mouth to show her cute little tiger teeth, and snorting through her nose, squinting at El.

The same look in her teacher's eyes.

"Miss...... Why are you here?" El asked, smiling.

"Because I fear for your safety, Brother El. Lolana chuckled.

"Okay, okay, if you want to talk about the understanding of the earthly Zerg, only an alchemist who has been committed to the study of biology for a long time can be regarded as an authority, and the teacher's alchemy is currently only me, so I was temporarily recruited. ”

The girl's eyes rolled, and the smile on her face suddenly became ill-intentioned.

"I don't know if I don't come to the front line, Brother El, you are really hiding deeply. Oh no, now should I call you Senior Brother El?Dear Senior Brother, do you know how long it has been since the teacher has recruited apprentices?I wonder if you are mentally prepared to bear the resentment of all the children of the nobles of Istalen?"

"You can't blame me for that. ”

Ergan laughed twice, and his face couldn't help but darken after making up for the problems that might occur in the future.

"By the way, Miss...... Uh, Senior Sister, is Tika okay?" Looking at Lolana, El suddenly remembered the little maid at home, and couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry, people eat well and sleep soundly, you don't need to worry about it. Luo Lana clasped her hands unhappily: "As a senior sister, I am responsible for teaching you, first of all, the first rule is not to discuss another lady in front of a lady, this is the most basic courtesy. ”

"I was wrong, senior sister. "El is naturally good.

"Tika doesn't know you've made yourself like this, so of course she won't be cranky. Lorana lowered her head, the sinister smile on her face growing sinister.

"It's you, dear brother. From now on, you will be a superior person with status, and in the near future, money and power will be at your fingertips. Will you still have her in your eyes by then?"
