Even though Mentor Rum didn't seem happy, he let Thor go.

Shortly after Saul left, however, there was a knock on Rum's door.

"Mentor." It was Nick's voice.

With permission, Nick came in.

He had a smile on his face all the time, which was completely different from his usual expressionless appearance.

Rum glanced at Nick a few times, and then understood the other party's current state, "The potion has been almost absorbed?" ”

The smile on Nick's face brightened, "Yes, Mentor, I can feel that my emotions are becoming more and more stable now. Don't always hold yourself back like you used to. ”

Unexpectedly, Rum sighed, "You have been staying in the second level for a long time, which makes me wonder if this path is really suitable for you." ”

"This is the path I have chosen, and the mentor doesn't have to worry about it." Nick's expression changed as he spoke, and he couldn't help but start crying.

Rum was surprised, knowing that this was the ordeal that Nick had to go through to get promoted.

Except for some heavenly pride, it is easy for no one to be promoted.

In the wizarding world, promotion at every stage is dangerous, but promotion is a must.

Once you choose to follow the path of a wizard, you must keep moving forward, and long-term stagnation is also a danger that can be fatal.

Rum's hand tapped lightly against his belly, causing ripples.

"I heard that the tower master saved you halfway and took Thor away?"

Nick calmed down a bit and raised his hand to wipe away his tears, "Yes. ”

He thought about it for a while, and then took the initiative to say: "Byron once said in the Valley of the Hanging Hands that Thor is a student of the tower master. Although he later explained that it was improvised to deceive the enemy, I now feel that perhaps Byron was telling the truth. ”

Mentor Rum nodded slowly.

He nodded slightly, because with a little nod, his chin would stick to the fat of his neck.

"Perhaps Thor's work in the tower was also arranged by the tower owner himself. It's a pity...... He would have been a good fit to major in light. ”

In this wizarding tower, no one can disobey the orders of the tower's master, Gorsa, not even the high-ranking mentors.

Rum abruptly changed the subject, "Have you been to Mill Sail?" ”

Nick had already turned in the task in the registry room, but there was no mention that Thor had done it for him.

He had selfish motives in this task, and he just wanted to hide his role in it as much as possible.

However, when Rum asked in person, Nick was in a state of unstable promotion again, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he could only avoid the important and say lightly: "Before I arrived in Mofan Town, I received the news of my father's death and asked someone else to help me complete the task. Now the Mosheng Fruit there has basically been destroyed by the barbarian invasion, and I am afraid that it will not be able to pay tribute to the Mosheng Fruit in the future. I have proposed to the registry office to withdraw the asylum from the town of Mill. ”

"Don't be that troublesome." Rum chuckled softly, "Millsail is gone. ”

Nick looked up in amazement, the look of surprise on his face could not be concealed at all, and even a little fear.

Rum didn't care, "Fortunately, you have already started to be promoted, and you don't need to help you suppress your emotions anymore." ”

Nick acted a little strangely, and he pursed his lips. The muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled, and his pupils shrunk like the eyes of a needle.

It was as if I had heard some terrible news.

Rum suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on Nick's head.

"Don't be scared, Nick. You're one of my favorite students, and even if I make the slightest mistake once in a while, I'm not going to eat you right away. ”

Nick fell to his knees with a "poof", begging for mercy, but his throat trembled and he couldn't speak.

Looking at Nick, who was so emotional, Mentor Rum's head slowly slipped from the top of his body to near his belly, staring at Nick's forehead that began to ooze beads of sweat.

"Forget about the matter of Mofan Town. You don't have to worry about Thor's side. Rum's hand stroked Nick's head, and as he moved, wisps of brown head fell to the ground and melted away as if corroded.

"Yes, Mentor." Nick looked up at the hair on the ground, and tears couldn't stop falling.

"Although this is the Gorsa Wizard Tower, I am your mentor after all. If you really don't want to be a part of it, just keep doing your research. ”

"As a student I value, your position is naturally predestined. Don't always try to please both sides. ”

"Yes, yes, Mentor......" Nick's teeth began to chatter and his voice choked and indistinct.

"For the sake of your imminent promotion, I'll spare you once. Go to the opposite room and wait until your mood is stable before leaving. ”

"Yes."

Nick crawled backwards out of the room separated by a curtain.

By the time he left, his hair had all gone, revealing a bald head that was not very smooth.

Rum swiped his head upwards and returned to the very top of his body.

"It doesn't matter." As if answering someone's question, "A little bit of action makes people suspicious." Bill is dead anyway, isn't he? It's saving you from making a move. ”

"Hehehehehe......"

The laughter echoed through the room, obscured by the heavy curtains, and could not be heard.

……

Leaving Rum's room, Thor didn't know what Nick had paid for his carefulness.

His attention was completely drawn to the conversation of the passing apprentices.

"It is said that the second-level apprentice who took the Dead Man's Flower mission last time voluntarily gave up."

Two second-level female apprentices stood at each other between the ramps on the twelfth and thirteenth floors.

Thor, who was pushing the cart, slowed down in a moment.

"Is this a difficult task?"

"I don't think it's hard to solve a problem, it's rare to find someone who is causing it. After the last time Surrey took over the mission, he squatted for several days without finding anything abnormal, and as a result, another servant died in the early hours of yesterday morning. ”

The other female apprentice smiled disdainfully, and she rolled her eyes, her braids raising the ends of her hair like cobras.

"Lucy, why don't we take this task? Now that someone has abandoned the mission, the reward credits for this mission will definitely increase again. ”

The apprentice named Lucy was moved when he heard this, "Okay, then let's go now, don't let people take the lead!" ”

The two hit it off, holding hands and quickly disappearing at the turn of the ramp.

Thor had been moving in small steps for a long time, and then he opened his legs.

"Sure enough, my second dream also came true."

As he passed the twelfth floor, Thor glanced inward.

The dead man's flower that once stood in the hallway has long since been cleaned up.

"I hope they can solve the mastermind, I want to get a good night's sleep."

There are no public classes for Level 2 apprentices, of course, if they really want to listen to them, they can also go to the level 1 apprentice classes.

After entering Level 2, there will be a more obvious gap in each person's knowledge field and level. Forcing them together for class can drag down everyone's progress.

Therefore, after being promoted to Level 2, the individual's learning is mainly self-study, and you can get guidance from your tutor every few days.

lest the apprentice go further and further down the wrong path and accidentally blow himself up.

Level 1 apprentices are required to test their progress in learning (or work) once a month, and at Level 2 it becomes every six months.

It's just that Thor has just been promoted to the second level, and before his first test, there is a one-year preparation period.

For a long time, he didn't have to worry about his own testing.

So, after adapting to the work in the second warehouse, Saul began a new round of his research journey.

There is a lot of material in the second storeroom, and a small part is not marked with any serial number. The rulebook states that these materials can be used as long as they are not squandered and wasted.

The contents of the treasury can only be used by himself, and he cannot take out the treasury for other apprentices.

Therefore, although this work is very tedious and there is not a lot of time to study and research, it still makes many people rush to it.

Although there is no big man in charge of guarding the corpse outside, the three metal doors are not decorations.

There is a connection between them and the messenger pen that automatically determines which materials are within the scope of the task and which are not.

Once there is out-of-range material on the body, there is no way to push the metal door open.

At least not Saul.

After two days of sorting out the materials in the storeroom, Thor was tasked by Mentor Kaz.

There are dozens of materials for this mission, but fortunately, Thor's search list is halfway done, otherwise it will be difficult to complete the task on time.

On the way out of the storeroom, Thor meets a man on the way.

The man, dressed in a long, heavy cloak and a mask on his face, emerged from the corridor on the left.

"He's supposed to be the one in charge of the first storeroom." Thor stopped where he was, wondering if he should say hello.

But the other party walked straight past Thor without stopping for half a minute.

There is no meaning of greetings.

Thor laughed to himself.

Walking around the outside world, he had a few friends around him, and he almost forgot that the Wizard Tower was actually a cold place.

However, Thor's smile had not yet faded, and the person in front of him suddenly stopped.

Immediately alerted, Thor also stopped, and the two kept a distance of two meters.

The other party did not turn around, but bowed his head deeply.

As he lowered his head, a crack appeared in the hat on the back of his head.

Under the crack, an ugly woman's face was revealed.

Like the spookiest witch in the anime.

"I like your eyes, can you give it to me?" The woman asked in a hoarse voice.

"I'm sorry," Thor's face turned cold, "I'm still useful." ”
