Xia Duo had been to the negative second floor once before, and the previous road may have been a bit detouring, and he was not very familiar with it, but when he arrived at the negative second floor, because the place he was going to was laboratory 001, he was no stranger.

Lab 001 and Lab 003 where he had been before were in the same area on the second floor, not far from each other, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were neighbors.

Soon, Xia Duo and Rhodes arrived at their destination and met a research assistant at the door of the laboratory.

Seeing that there were two people coming, the assistant researcher was visibly stunned, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but as if he had thought of something, he didn't say anything in the end, just took Xia Duo and the two into the laboratory.

"Come with me!"

Xia Duo followed behind the guide, but his eyes kept wandering around, although this laboratory was numbered "001", but the area occupied was not as good as "003" laboratory, even compared to "McCaddy" laboratory.

Looks like this place is supposed to be specially prepared for the advanced.

Xia Duo remembered that the Advanced Laboratory of the Tower of Time was smaller than here, but the Tower of Time had a total of six Advanced Laboratories, which could be used on a rotational basis.

Alberk was using the last intact advanced laboratory at the time, and if he hadn't managed to advance at that time, it would have been difficult for the Tower to produce Arcanists in the future.

Only an Arcanist can repair the Advanced Laboratory, if you don't have an Arcanist at home, the Laboratory can't be repaired, then you have to go to another Mage Tower to organize the advancement, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Xia Duo was able to complete the advancement in the Tower of Time, and there was also a little luck in it.

……

Soon, the three of them entered the main body of the laboratory, a room of nearly twenty square meters.

"Wait here for a while, the dean will be here soon!"

After saying that, the assistant researcher in charge of the reception did not explain, but left the room directly, leaving only Xia Duo and Rhodes in the room.

The two of them, you look at me, I look at you, and they seem to be surprised why the advancement of an ordinary assistant researcher would involve the dean!

The Dean is a Grand Arcanist, there is no doubt about it, how could such a big man care about the advancement of a small person?

Xia Duo suspected that Rhodes might be the child of Dean Bernie, after all, on the side of the remnants of the Empire, everyone must have two children as long as they cannot become full-fledged mages before they become adults.

McArder has two children, but Shado has never seen them.

How could Rhodes not be Dean Bernie's child?

Xia Duo examined Rhodes' appearance without a trace, and asked tentatively, "Rhodes, you-"

Maybe he guessed something, or maybe he was particularly sensitive to strange eyes, Rhodes hurriedly took a step back and waved his hand again and again, "Don't think about it, I don't have anything to do with Dean Bernie, I've even seen Dean himself!" ”

"Ahem—"

Xia Duo also felt that this speculation was too unfounded, in fact, on the side of the remnants of the empire, including the past imperial period, the parent-child relationship almost did not exist, and it was more of a colleague, a subordinate and a superior, and a teacher-student relationship.

After all, everyone's own background, as well as the background of their children, are not controlled by themselves, and they are not responsible for raising them, so it is difficult to say that there is any deep affection between parents and children.

Then he asked Rhodes, "What about the advancement of the others?" Is the Dean there? ”

"I don't know, maybe the dean was there, but they never mentioned it, or it didn't reach me."

Hearing such an answer, Xia Duo was silent, but this matter is not important, as long as it does not affect the next observation.

And Rhodes stopped talking, and the two waited quietly.

……

I don't know how long it took, but Dean Bernie, with gray hair and a kind face, walked in from outside.

Xia Duo and the others hurriedly stepped forward to salute, but Dean Bernie just waved his hand and asked, "Who is Rhodes?" ”

This question completely overturned Xia Duo's previous speculation, Dean Bernie couldn't even tell who he and Rhodes were, how could he come specifically for Rhodes!

As for Rhodes, he first shook his head, but he quickly reacted and replied quickly: "Lord Dean, I'm Rhodes." ”

Although he said before that he had nothing to do with Dean Bernie, now that he saw that Dean Bernie might not even have seen his own magical image, he was still a little inexplicably disappointed.

"Are you all ready?" Dean Bernie asked again.

"Uh, it's all set."

The business again made Rhodes completely dead, but fortunately, he didn't have any relevant thoughts before, that is, the thought just a moment made him a little lost, and it was not too late to wake up now.

If you really make a joke and make a joke, it will be difficult to end.

……

Hearing Rhodes say that he was ready, Bernie immediately unleashed the arcane fire, and the originally curled up and converging miniature magic net was opened layer by layer, quickly covering every corner of the laboratory.

Such an obvious change naturally can't hide from Xia Duo and Rhodes, one of them is a high-level mage who is about to advance, and the other is a senior arcanist from the main plane, and they have a relatively full understanding of Arcane.

But what is the situation now?

Rhodes was confused, but Xia Duo had a very bold guess in his mind, which, once it came true, would directly raise his evaluation of color-resistant magic.

Looking at Dean Bernie's calm and solemn figure, Xia Duo had a little more confidence in this guess!

Then, Dean Bernie activated some of the auxiliary facilities in the laboratory, and then said to Rhodes, "You can start, create your own arcane fire!" ”

But Rhodes hesitated at the moment, except for the first layer, the magic net environment in the laboratory has been replaced with Dean Bernie's miniature magic net, is it to tear apart the dean's magic net to create his own arcane fire?

Faced with this situation, how could he not hesitate.

Seeing that the advanced environment was ready, but the advanced person was completely silent, Bernie couldn't help but frown.

But he also knew that in this case, everyone would hesitate, and if he really met that kind of advanced person who did not hesitate, he himself would hesitate.

"As long as it is to create an arcane fire in the environment of the Great Demon Net, even if it is underground, it is possible to be detected by Comanso, so as to locate the location of the survival base, and many survival bases have been discovered in this way in the past!"

As if thinking of some not-so-good past, Bernie's expression darkened, and he continued to explain in a deep voice: "Later, someone researched the creation of arcane fire in the environment of the Grand Arcanist's miniature magic net, which has a high probability of successfully evading Comanso's detection.

"And what you don't know is that I'm not the only one here to provide the magic web environment for this advancement, and the three Grand Arcanists are also maintaining their knowledge of this area at the same time.

"Hurry up and don't waste our efforts!"

Hearing this, Rhodes' eyes turned a little red, he nodded vigorously, adjusted his mood, and then began to cast spells to create arcane fire.
