Chapter 15: Teacher
After some struggle, Arthur's final decision was.
"Teacher Mel Emerrick, disciple Arthur, please take care of me in the future. Arthur said respectfully. The other party is obviously full of kindness to himself, and it is really foolish to push back under such obvious benefits.
There is no complicated procedure, and the master-apprentice relationship is maintained by mutual interest and friendship, not by false etiquette.
"Haha, okay Arthur, you are my first disciple. Mel smiled, "Magic is constant, wait a while, I'll prepare the materials and do it for you!"
"Thank you, Sensei, it's just that I don't think I need your constant magic for me for the time being. Arthur said suddenly.
Mage Mel frowned and said, "Do you like the current state!"
"Of course not, you know my grandfather, you should know Gude's Heart of the Earth! I have been resisting the effect of petrification through this power, and I feel that this is very helpful for the improvement of the heart, so don't cancel this state for the time being! Arthur said sincerely.
Master Mel said with relief: "I see, I also know a little about various minds, and elemental mages will also carry out relevant comprehensions, but I haven't heard of resisting petrification with my heart, so I must study it carefully when I have time!"
Arthur couldn't help but shudder, and a little regretted worshipping the mad scientist master. But if you don't become a madman, you can't become a Buddha, and if you don't have such enthusiasm, how can you reach level fourteen at the age of forty or fifty?"
Arthur said, "Teacher, can you do a de-petrification for me now?"
Mel smiled, "I prepared this spell for you today, and it seems that it is just right to use it!" After D" finished speaking, he picked up the peachwood staff beside him and waved it gently, and a light shone on Arthur's body. I saw that the lime gray on Arthur's skin was rapidly fading, and it was replaced by flesh-colored skin.
Arthur couldn't help but be overjoyed, feeling that his body was suddenly much lighter, but at the same time, he also felt that the power of petrification was not expelled, but was temporarily held by Arthur in a corner of his body, quietly waiting for the magic power to disappear.
Arthur took advantage of this short time to take out some elven coins and a few elven artworks from his left hand, and gave these things to Mel as gifts for his apprenticeship. As for the value of these things, to be honest, he really didn't see it.
Mel didn't push it back, and took it all. He smiled and said: "Recently, I will leave the tower gate for some things, and when I come back, I will hold a ceremony for you, and during this time, you should first understand some knowledge of alchemy! Although you are not required to be an alchemist, at least you must not lose the glory of our lineage." ”
The so-called apprenticeship ceremony is that Mel invited some celebrities and strong people and told them that this kid will cover me from today, and if you don't give him face, you won't give me face, so you should pay attention in the future. It is equivalent to being a backer for Arthur. In the future, Arthur broke into any basket and provoked any enemies that he couldn't provoke, and was responsible for wiping Arthur's buttocks.
Although it is only a formality, it is enough to show that Mel values Arthur, and its intrinsic value is far greater than what Arthur has to give. Many young people who are just starting out and don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky without this layer of protection will provoke some powerful enemies, and most of the results will be the evaporation of the world.
But if you have such a clear backer, that is to say, just intercede, after all, there are only so many people in the circle of the strong, who don't know whom, and who has no juniors. Even if they are enemies of each other, as long as they don't kill their enemies, they generally won't shoot at their juniors.
In fact, this is also a kind of exchange of interests, feelings may be able to transcend interests after the establishment, but at the beginning of the establishment can not escape the relationship of interests, and even say that the interests are the basis for the development of feelings.
This made Arthur even more grateful but even more confused, could he be the illegitimate son of this man, otherwise why would he be so good to himself. But there is no doubt that everything that happened today is only good and not bad for Arthur.
Arthur was not a bad person, and said gratefully: "Teacher, thank you so much. But he also asked suspiciously, "Why are you so good to me?"
Mel looked into Arthur's eyes and said, "I know your father and mother, and to be honest, I owe them too much, but in the end, you owe the most, and I hope you can be happy!" ”
Arthur looked at those deep gazes, and he didn't know what to say, because he had only found them in Aven's eyes. In this world, there are always some people who do not consider the pros and cons and the gains and losses who hope that they can be happy, but there are always the least such people.
Arthur bowed his head and said, "Yes, teacher, I also wish you happiness." ”
Mel laughed and said, "Yes! ”
When Arthur walked down from the tower alone, he looked back at the towering spire, and felt that the experience of that short moment seemed to be incomparably long. They talked a little more about Arthur's current life before letting Arthur go, leaving Gila behind to talk about something else.
Arthur didn't know why, but he didn't ask more, so he simply went back to his room and waited for Rosera to come back. Unexpectedly, I met Miss Eve again in the middle of the road, and in front of the damp stone fence, Yiren was independent and fell into deep thought. From the side, it brings out her beautiful face. A few strands of long hair on the forehead were wet with rain and stuck to the white forehead, but it also had a unique flavor.
Arthur thought about it and stepped forward to greet him, "Hello Miss Eve, don't you need to rehearse today!"
Eve smiled when she heard this, "It's Mr. Stoneman!" but there was no mockery in her tone.
Looking back and smiling, even Arthur had a feeling of amazement. Touching the back of his head and smiling, "Exactly, exactly, what about the city lord of Abel?"
Eve showed a distressed expression: "He always has his own business, I wonder if you can enjoy your face and talk to me for a while?"
Arthur's mind turned, and he couldn't understand why this woman's attitude had changed so much, and the previous coldness had disappeared without a trace. But there is really no reason to refuse the invitation of the beauty.
But after saying a few words, Arthur understood the other party's intentions, and it turned out that he wanted to inquire about what Arthur and Gila Daumel were doing on the tower. If the other party just asked curiously, Arthur might have told her frankly: Master Mel has something to do with Gilla. But this woman knocked on the side, and frequently charmed, and the appearance of self-pretentious cleverness disgusted Arthur, who simply played with her but didn't say a word about the things on the tower. Then admiring the increasingly stiff smile on her face, feeling a mischievous pleasure.
Until Eve couldn't stand the "stupidity" of the man in front of her anymore, and felt that she was going to get angry if she stayed any longer. only then did he "reluctantly" say goodbye to Arthur and left as if he were running away.
Arthur shouted behind her, "Don't go, Miss Eve, let's talk a little longer!" but Eve quickened her pace.
Arthur laughed, but couldn't help but sigh, his teacher's status in the tower gate is not ordinary! Of course, Eve didn't come out of curiosity, I'm afraid it was the meaning of the city lord of Ebel!
Eve hurried back to the room, and Abel lay lazily on the sofa and said, "Well, I'm right! From such a distance, he listened to everything.
Eve was furious and said, "That guy is not a man like you. ”
Abel was scolded for not being a man, but he simply closed his eyes and said: "I am not a man, I am a dragon! How stupid must a dragon be to be seduced by a woman! You are just a treasure in my collection." ”
Eve was speechless, beauty has always been more troublesome than wealth, and if it weren't for the protection of a dragon, perhaps she would have been confined to a nobleman. Although she also helped the dragon collect more wealth in return, the relationship between them was not equal. And in fact, she was not without feelings for this dragon, and she suddenly became angry, and tears fell within a few moments. Able stepped forward and hugged her, whispering in her ear, "However, it is much better to hold you than to hold a large pile of gold!"
Eve burst into tears and laughed, "That Arnold is too difficult, I'll ask him again when his companion comes down!"
Able patted her head and said, "That's good, but don't worry, that Gila may not be easy to deal with, this world is very big, and there are always some people who are very special." And I'm just curious, what did Mel tell the two of them to go up for, just for Kira? I don't believe it. But luckily I have time, as my father said: time solves everything!"
