Wizard From Afar

Chapter 27



The dark curtains blocked the sunshine outside, and the smell of parchment filled the air, rich and quiet. For a wizard who is keen on research and solitude, it is undoubtedly the most relaxing environment for him.

But for Dalton Kande, the Loren Turin standing in front of him with a formulaic smile can\'t make him feel any relaxed.

For fifteen minutes, Dalton, sitting behind his desk, listened to him explain the cause and effect of the whole incident. The wizard\'s expression also became a little stiff from no waves at the beginning, and finally returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. Just the twinkling eyes exposed his mind.

Obviously, although the whole incident is not a big problem and has not caused much impact, if it is not handled properly, it may really have a great impact on the reputation of the College - it is a wise choice to let the wandering Knight go by himself. Dalton is not sure that he can handle it like this if he is another apprentice.

Although the way is a little extreme, it doesn\'t matter. As long as it did not affect vimpal, even if Loren killed a river of blood, he had no opinion. With the exception of vimpal and the college apprentices, any excess compassion is a luxury. He is more concerned about another thing.

"Does Father Anthony know?"

"Of course, after all, the whole thing happened in Gumu town. If I didn\'t say it, he wouldn\'t let me go." Luo ethics nodded naturally, then pulled the corners of his mouth and tilted slightly: "but I told him another version of the \'truth\'."

"In short, a group of mutant ghouls appeared outside Gumu town. Then I found their tracks with the help of priest Draco and tracked them all the way. Finally, I solved them in the hut by the lake - but it\'s a pity that priest Draco was killed by ghouls and I couldn\'t protect him."

"Did he believe it?"

"Of course not. I also added some small details, but it doesn\'t matter." Loren said calmly. "The most important thing is that this result is the most appropriate. Everything is an accident, and there is no conspiracy involved."

Dalton hesitated for a moment and quickly nodded. "Your choice is rational."

Loren shrugged his shoulders... This is the version he thought for a long time to determine - at the beginning, he was going to call Draco an unforgivable evil wizard or heretic. In this way, he could not only remove the suspicion of the college, but also disgust father Anthony, so that he did not dare to continue to find trouble with the college.

But Loren soon abandoned the plan. For Anthony, who hates wizards from the bottom of his heart, this result may have a negative effect, making him more resistant to the existence of the college. Maybe they will continue to make trouble for face, which is contrary to their original intention at the beginning.

So, although this will not change anything in the end, at least let a potential disaster disappear. He successfully solved the problem of Gumu Town, and everything has nothing to do with the college, and he has nothing to blame.

Vimpal college has little confidence in the Holy Cross Church. Once it is really entangled, it will be a complete defeat. Therefore, my task is not only to solve problems, but also to resolve all situations that may threaten the college, and let the church or any other forces not trouble the college.

"I must admit that your efficiency is beyond my expectation." after a moment of silence, Dalton continued: "no wizard can handle it better than you."

"Thank you for your compliment." Lauren tried to make himself laugh more naturally. "I\'m honored by your praise."

"I\'m just stating the facts." Dalton resumed his original coldness: "your achievements have proved their value and are worth the college\'s continued efforts."

"Now that I\'ve said this, I have a bad request." Loren suddenly said, "my sword was damaged by the wizard. Can you help me repair it - it\'s more or less a souvenir, and I don\'t want to throw it away."

"There is a blacksmith\'s shop in the village outside the college." Dalton raised his eyebrows. "If necessary, the laboratory in the tower can meet you."

Well, it seems that we can\'t expect free... With a little regret, Loren turned and was ready to leave. You know, it takes at least four silver coins to repair a sword. When I came back from Gumu Town, I didn\'t have much money in my pocket.

Maybe I should take advantage of my study to find work around? However, he keeps a wizard college and is free of charge. I\'m afraid the villagers nearby don\'t need to spend much money to hire people.

"Before you leave..." as soon as Lauren\'s right hand held the door handle, Dalton\'s cold voice behind him came: "remember, \'beyond perception\' is different from other high-level spells. Don\'t try to use it to measure other spells. You will die without a place to bury."

He withdrew his right hand, and Lauren\'s stiff face turned unnaturally.

"I didn\'t instruct Isaac to teach you this spell, but... It should be acquiescence," Dalton kand said coldly. "Now it seems to be a wise choice."

How did he know? The bottom of Loren\'s heart immediately raised questions, but he immediately left this nonsense behind... It\'s meaningless to think about it now. The key is what the other party wants to express.

"You chose spell learning, and I\'m your mentor." probably aware of Loren\'s expression, Dalton snorted coldly: "considering the reputation of the college and myself, I must train you to be a qualified caster."

"So the first step is to correct your understanding of high-level spells - first of all, the spiritual palace of most wizards can\'t withstand too many empty forces, so most of them can only fully master one or two high-level spells, and more often rely on singing spells to cast spells."

"But considering the difference between your physique and normal people, the magic you can learn will probably surpass this number." Dalton paused: "then, \'surpassing perception\' is a very special spell. It works with the body and allows the body to bear the load of mental power, so it doesn\'t need a magic wand."

"If it were any other high-level spell, your head would have been broken," Dalton said in a homely tone. "The common way is to use magic with the help of some instrument - most of which are wands, to share most of the load that the body can\'t bear."

"So you need a magic wand more than a sword."

After a long silence, Loren lowered his head: "thank you for your reminder, mentor."

Lauren said this with great sincerity - not only because Dalton thanked him for telling himself this, but because he didn\'t have to tell himself from the beginning. Loren can feel the cold tone of the other party, really thinking and considering for himself.

Lauren cherishes this very much. In this strange world, it is extremely valuable for someone to pay sincerely for themselves, even if it is only for a moment.

"What you should really thank is yourself. The spiritual palace is tough enough so that you won\'t be tortured into madness by the load of high-level magic spells." Dalton can\'t see any emotional fluctuation on his face: "but this is because the magic of \'beyond perception\' shares more load into the whole body."

"As a caster, your mental strength is completely unqualified and far from reaching the standard level - so this is my suggestion. Find a suitable opportunity to enter the void, explore as far as possible on the premise of ensuring your own reason, and temper your own mental strength. For a caster, mental strength is everything to you."

"It is true that most casters can only stay in the stage of magic. But you are my apprentice, and I will never allow this to happen."

Dalton was not a talker, so he closed his eyes and began to meditate. Comprehending Loren actively pushed the door open and left the silent study.

"Excuse me, mentor Dalton."
