Chapter 26 The Pretender
[Your student Carly respects you, her reverence value +20]
A system message pops up.
Lucian rubbed Carly's little head and slightly messed up the latter's hair.
"Let's go, your mission is not completed yet." Lucian patted Carly on the shoulder and motioned for her to continue the mission.
…
"Teacher Lucian." After paying fifty blood crow's beaks, Carly handed over the two magic stones as reward for the mission to Lucian. After all, Carly has not forgotten that the equipment on her body was sold to her by her mentor Lucian.
Lucian looked at the two magic stones in Carly's hand, and after thinking about it, he reached out and picked up one of them.
"Mentor..." Carly looked at Lucian and wanted to send the remaining magic stone over.
"Remember the rest first, and pay back half every time in the future." Lucian held down Carly's hand. After all, Carly now also needs to study witchcraft models and the like. Instead of taking one or two magic stones out of her hand, she might as well think of other ways to earn magic stones.
However, before finding a way to earn magic stones, Lucian still needs to deal with some people who are peeping in the dark, or at least divert their naked eyes away from him.
"Hmph...According to some people's inferences, I'm afraid I don't have a few days left, right?" Thinking of this, murderous intent flashed in Lucian's eyes.
"Teacher Lucian?" Carly noticed the change in Lucian's expression and asked hesitantly.
"It's okay, just a few minor problems." Lucian reassured him gently.
Carly bit her lip gently. She suddenly thought of what Yellen had said to her, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart.
"Teacher Lucian, your injury..." Carly looked at Lucian.
"It's okay." Lucian waved his hand gently to signal Carly not to talk about this topic again.
Carly slowly lowered her head, but the hand holding the bow and arrow was a little tight.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Lucian looked at Carly's nervous look and couldn't help but comfort him.
Carly raised her head, but she was a little worried that Teacher Lucian was just comforting herself. He hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say.
"If you have this time to think too much, you might as well study hard for me." Lucian slapped Carly on the head angrily. "Have you figured out the principle of multiple blazing rockets? Have you completed your daily practice today? Have you finished the practice part of the basic model construction chapter of "The Wizard's Little Champion"?"
"No, Tutor Lucian, I was wrong." Carly covered her head, especially when she heard "Wizard Little Champion", her face twitched several times. But for some reason, she felt a lot more relaxed after listening to Teacher Lucian's soul questions at this time.
"Then go quickly!" Lucian said with a tigerish face.
"Yes! Goodbye, Teacher Lucian." Carly raised her head and slipped away in a panic.
"Just a kid." Lucian looked at Carly's running back and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Huh?" But soon, Lucian's expression changed slightly. He calmly glanced at a few inconspicuous small flying insects beside him, and then returned to his residence as if nothing had happened.
"It seems that some people can't hold it any longer?" Lu Xian sneered inwardly.
After switching to the Gray Bone Meditation Method·Change II, his mental power has been greatly improved in terms of purity, and it has also made him more sensitive in terms of perception.
He had just sensed faint mental fluctuations from those small flying insects.
Obviously, these small flying insects are the "eyes" of a certain wizard's apprentice. "Hmph——" After walking forward for a short distance, Lucian seemed to be "surprised". His mental power swept away and crushed the few flying insects with mental power directly into powder.
"It seems that he should be a relatively powerful second-level wizard apprentice." After crushing those small flying insects, Lucian silently felt the weak spiritual power attached to their bodies and came to the conclusion A rough judgment.
"That's fine. If I jump out by myself, it saves me the trouble of finding a target myself." Lucian slowly exhaled and his eyes became a little deeper.
The next few days were a bit quiet before the storm was about to come.
Lucian simply didn't bother to pay attention to those peeking eyes. He just guided Carly every day, and his life was quite easy.
"Teacher Lucian, I succeeded!" In the laboratory, Carly gently opened the bow. At this time, the two arrows on the bow were successfully enchanted by her at the same time.
"Not bad." Lucian agreed with a smile. "Let's find another mission another day and test it on you."
"Yeah." Carly nodded excitedly.
"Then let's get here first, and you should go back and rest early." Lucian looked at the time and signaled to Carly that she could leave.
Carly put away her bow and arrows, bowed slightly, and then trotted out of Lucian's laboratory.
The nights at Ashbone Academy are always quiet. Carly has long been accustomed to the quiet atmosphere at night.
However, she had just walked not far when she saw two figures on the side of the road not far away.
Carly slowed down, a look of caution in her eyes.
After getting closer, Carly's vigilance reached the highest limit.
Because one of the two people here she knew was Yellen, who had had conflicts before.
At this time, the other party was staring at him, and the smile on his face seemed a bit cold and superficial.
Carly tightened her grip on the hunting bow and backed away slowly.
"Carly, I brought Master Apollo here specifically to see you today." Yellen looked at Carly and smiled. "This is a good thing, a great thing."
Carly took out two arrows from the quiver and began to build a witchcraft model silently in her mind.
"This Lord Apollo is a second-level peak apprentice. He is only two spiritual runes away from breaking through to the third-level wizard apprentice." Yellen praised, but kept staring at Carly.
When she saw the bow and arrow in Carly's hand, she felt a little disdainful.
After all, in Yellen's view, bows and arrows are weapons for ordinary people, let alone wizards, and some strong knights are no longer afraid of the threat of such weapons.
"I need an experimental assistant." Apollo, who had been silent until now, finally spoke. He looked at Carly with a look of satisfaction in his eyes. "I need you to cooperate with me in conducting an experiment. As long as you agree, I am willing to accept you as a student."
Although he is only a first-level wizard apprentice, his mental power seems to be quite condensed. If he has her as his experimental material, the success rate of his experiments may be improved.
If she cooperates obediently, after the experiment is successful, she should be successfully promoted to the third level wizard apprentice. At that time, why not give her an apprenticeship?
What's more, this is the best opportunity to test Lucian.
Apollo looked at Lucian's residence not far away, with a hint of greed deep in his eyes.
