Chapter 233: Even if you add up, you can’t beat me.
Chapter 233: Can’t Beat Me Even If You Add It All Up
“If I never use elf-related props again, will I not fall into the elf’s illusion again?”
“Theoretically, yes, but there are also things in the wizarding world where a person who only used an elf prop once, only to suddenly go crazy a few years later, saying to everyone that he swallowed an elf alive, and then finally choosing to dissect himself and then die because no one believed him.”
“Uh ……”
“But you don’t have to worry too much. Whether or not you can break free from the elf’s illusion still depends on the individual’s will. Given what you just did, I don’t think you need to worry about being haunted by a genie just yet.”
Thor looked down, the elf whisper in his hand still talking to him.
Sometimes it was a meaningless cry, other times it repeated “I’m going to die.”
But now Saul wasn’t in the flirtatious mood he had been in when he had been talking to the green-haired elf about his condolences.
“Watch it die, and this bottle will be given to you. As for Kismet, I still have the same original idea, no matter what he wants to do, with your ability you can only be passive for the time being, so it would be better to turn your worry into an effort to seek knowledge. I prefer you to actively pursue knowledge rather than risking your life because of the threat of death.”
Golza stood up, “Only when you are strong in yourself will you not fear intrigue.”
He straightened his cloak, carefully gathering his entire body into a wide brownish-red cloak.
“As you can tell, there is a part of the Wizard’s Tower that already has small minds.”
Saul hurriedly stood up after him, thinking, “So you know that as well.”
However, on his lips, he still respectfully replied, “Mentor Katz revealed a little to me.”
The most obvious one was Mentor Rum, and Saul always felt that this person was already heavily depressed.
Golza, however, smiled without a care in the world, “Yes, Monica is timid, Rum is brooding, and Anze is resentful. But it doesn’t matter, as long as they do what I ask of them on time.”
Sol hesitated for a moment and couldn t help but ask, “Lord Tower Master, are you …… not afraid of them joining forces?”
Golza tilted his head, “Not afraid, the five of them combined can’t beat me.”
……
After Golza disappeared with his couch, Sol held the soon-to-be-fading Elf Whisper and fumed in place for a while longer.
The gap between a second-order sorcerer and a first-order sorcerer was even greater than he had imagined.
Saul had once relied on props to kill Cid, who was one rank above him, and Cid had not shown any obvious fear when facing Senior Byron, who was also one rank above him.
No wonder the tower master had said that there was no essential difference between sorcerer apprentices, and that only entering the official sorcerer rank was a change in quality and tier.
At this time, the last leaf of the Elf Whisper in Saul’s hand also fell off and disappeared into the solution.
Only a bare, dry branch remained in the bottle.
And the cries and whispers that had been lingering in Saul’s ears also completely disappeared.
Saul breathed a sigh of relief and placed the bottle on the lab bench.
Three days later, Saul, who had undergone a full body checkup, walked out of Mentor Kaz’s lab.
The one who escorted him out was another level two apprentice.
It turned out that Angela, who was in charge of the lab, had already left the place, but the matter didn’t cause much discussion.
In the Sorcerer’s Tower, or the wizarding world, people tended not to care about gossip that didn’t concern them.
Because everyone was too busy.
The person now in charge of Kaz’s lab was a second level apprentice that Saul had never seen before.
He was much older than Saul, but he acted unusually respectful in the face of Saul.
He even sent Saul all the way to the entrance of the lab, almost the same treatment as Mentor Kaz. “Are all the tests done?” Keri, who was waiting at the door, said sullenly.
Korie was a little better now than she had been some days ago, at least she wasn’t wearing the full body armor that made it difficult to move anymore. However, her face was still covered in a thick metal mask that was used to trap the toxic metals that leaked from her facial skin.
The rest of Kori’s skin took on a vaguely metallic sheen, but according to her it no longer affected movement.
“Hmm.”
“How much magic?” Kagome asked impatiently.
“103.”
“Hiss–” Korie did what Saul thought she would do, and expressed well what it meant to be envious and jealous with just her exposed eyes.
“I thought I was good enough to raise my magic value to 80 for this outing, but I didn’t realize that it’s still you who’s perverted!”
“Perverted?” Saul raised his own hand and shook it, “Taking a life for it.”
Korrie rolled her eyes, a golden color under her eyes, “As if anyone isn’t.”
The two walked side by side to the end of the corridor, and Saul looked back to find the second level apprentice surprisingly still standing in the doorway of the lab watching him.
“What’s wrong?” Korrie turned back after him and laughed, “Ha, you have an unusual status now, and you always stay out of sight for long periods of time, so it’s only natural for them to be curious about you.”
Sol turned back, “I have an unusual status? How come I don’t know?”
“You don’t know?” This time it was Keri who was incredulous, “It is now rumored amongst the high ranked apprentices that you have been accepted as an apprentice by the tower master, and in the future you will be able to be promoted to a third level apprentice at the worst.”
“Only a third level apprentice?” Saul disdainfully bristled, “Can’t they think any higher?”
“Please! Please be a human being for the sake of those who were in our class, but are still first rank apprentices.” Korie spat, then asked, “Are you really a student of the Tower Master?”
Sol thought for a moment, “The Tower Master has mentored me, but did not officially say that he would be my mentor.”
Korrie immediately gave an I-know-better-than-you look, “That means you’re still being tested. It’s a shame that my mentor said that the tower master majored in the dark and light elements, otherwise I would have gone ahead and recommended myself.”
The two walked up the ramp and were about to part ways.
Sol called out to the girl, “Didn’t you say before that you wanted to apply for a joint experiment with me? How come there’s no movement?”
“Hey ……,” Korie let out a long sigh and shook her head, “Mentor Guido has arranged another experimental subject for me, so I can only work with …… the right one. Billy, who I mentioned to you last time, to do the experiment together. When I’m done, I’ll come back to you.”
“Fine.” Saul shrugged.
“Actually, although the Wizard Tower has a lot of resources, there are times when it’s a bit unfree. It’s not like you can research whatever you want.” Standing on the ramp, looking at the apprentices who brushed past her in a hurry, Korrie sighed a little.
“Before I came here, I knew that the element I perceived the strongest was the fire attribute element, so I made a plan of what I wanted to learn from a young age. As a result, I came to the Sorcerer’s Tower only to realize that there were no mentors to teach the fire attribute at all. At the time, I was kind of regretting it, maybe I should have gone to a wizard organization that was more like an academy, like the Baidong Academy.”
Looking at Keri, who was rarely somewhat emotional, Sol didn’t know how to comfort her.
In this wizard tower, even powerful formal wizards could only study experiments they didn’t like under the oppression of the tower’s master, not to mention this group of apprentices of theirs.
Saul was fortunate in that when he was pushed onto the path of wizard apprenticeship by the pushers behind the manipulation, the direction of training he was forced to choose happened to match his original wishes.
And what better attribute for a death wizard’s diary than the dark element?
Looking at the silent Saul, Kori suddenly waved her hand and laughed, “You’re not regretting for me, are you?”
Without waiting for Sol to answer, Korrie raised her fist, “It’s okay, even if I major in metallic elements, I can still do well! I heard from my mentor that the tower master originally majored in the light attribute, and then directly changed to the dark attribute, but he is still the strongest second rank in the western continent. Then I can definitely do it too!”
Golza: I’m not targeting anyone ……
