Gu Shi was very surprised by Field's sudden invitation to become his disciple, but after careful consideration, he felt that this was a good choice.

According to his current strength, it is indeed time to find a teacher.

Generally, after formally becoming a disciple, the teacher will not only take over the student's teaching and provide him with various resources, but will also bring the student into contact with his various connections and introduce him into his own faction.

For some mages, a qualified student is more qualified to be their successor than their own child.

However, you need to be careful when choosing a teacher. If you meet a good teacher, you can benefit a lot. But if you meet a teacher who treats students harshly or even abuses them, you will feel bitter and helpless.

The consequence of betraying the sect is that you may be hunted down by other members of the sect, but if you stay, you will have to continue to swallow your anger. Some people even cannot stand the fact that their students are better than themselves and will deliberately suppress their students.

Gu Shi had also heard that a certain big shot who came from a common family had encountered such a black-hearted teacher.

That person took advantage of the young master's youth and ignorance to trick him into becoming his disciple, but he had no intention of teaching him magic properly. He then deliberately made him do odd jobs to squeeze his training time, and later even began to perform magic experiments on him.

Later, the big man found a way to escape and quietly accumulated strength, and finally wiped out the teacher's entire family.

In short, becoming an apprentice is an investment project with high risks and high returns.

The next thing to consider is whether Field Burns is a teacher worth investing in.

Since Field said that his invitation is valid for a long time, Gu Shi can take some time to investigate him carefully.

Gu Shi lay in bed, carefully counting the various channels he could use to investigate Field.

In his eyes, he and Field were just strangers who had met a few times. There was no basis of trust between them, so preliminary investigation was very important.

The first source of information was his practical class teacher, Ilsa Raman. Gu Shi had heard her call Field "senior brother".

Since the two are senior and junior brothers and sisters, Elsa must know Field better than outsiders.

Of course, considering their close relationship, it is possible that Ilsa would speak well of Field, so Gu Shi would definitely not only listen to Ilsa's evaluation.

After returning to the college, he can ask Wendel to investigate Field.

As a noble, Wendel's network of contacts must be much stronger than that of a powerless student like Gu Shi. He must be able to find out a lot of things. In addition, there are various marriages between nobles. Perhaps the Brest family and the Burns family have had some intersection in the past.

As he was thinking like this, Gu Shi gradually fell asleep.

The next day, when he woke up, everyone else was already having lunch.

When Joyce saw Gu Shi coming out of the room, he said, "You finally woke up. I thought something happened to you in there."

He opened his mouth to say something else, but Ilsa gave him a light look and Joyce immediately shut his mouth.

Gu Shi did not take Joyce's words to heart. He knew that Joyce had no ill intentions and just wanted to care about him, but he just couldn't control his mouth.

Ilsa called out, "Come on, Gu Shi, come and have dinner."

Someone at the dinner table couldn't help but ask, "Teacher Ilsa, how's the curse going?"

Ilsa gave them good news, "This morning, Bishop Charles sent someone to tell me that the method to remove the curse on you has been found. It can be removed through magic combined with special potions.

However, the ingredients needed for that kind of potion are relatively rare, and it will take a few days to prepare the potion. You will stay in the church for the next two days, so that if there are any problems, you can deal with them in time."

"I might be busy these two days. If you have anything, you can find Mentor Marshall. He will stay with you in the church."

After dinner, Ilsa left in a hurry.

City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion has been busy since receiving a request for help from students from Congleton School of Magic yesterday.

When he first received the call for help, the city lord Barre Belloc thought that they were attacked by high-level monsters. After learning that the instructor leading the team was from the Raman family, he was still thinking of taking this opportunity to gain the friendship of the Raman family.

As the city closest to the Warcraft Forest, Barre has recruited many experts through various methods to ensure his own safety.

Even if Congleton's students encountered a rare high-level dark monster, as long as they got support from the Holy See of Light, it would not be particularly difficult to bring the rest of the people out and kill the monster.

As a result, just as he organized the team, he received a notice that the trapped people had been released. Barre was still lamenting that his plan had failed, but not long after, he was hit by a bombshell news.

A lich appeared in the Warcraft Forest!

That's a lich!

Barre was stunned by the bad news. It was only after being reminded by others that he managed to calm down and inquire about the current situation.

After hearing Field say that it was an eighth-level lich and that it had summoned a large group of high-level undead monsters, he wished he could faint immediately.

A lich who couldn't find his phylactery would be an immortal monster, and there were so many monster corpses in the Monster Forest for him to summon...

If the lich is allowed to continue its development, the first city to suffer will be Langari, and by then the entire city may become the lich's puppet.

This matter is no longer something he can resolve, and he must report it as soon as possible.

Although Barre was afraid, he did not lose his basic judgment. He immediately made a decision and asked someone to report the matter to the empire as quickly as possible and sent a distress signal to several nearby cities.

Afterwards, Barre summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures. They must come up with a suitable plan as soon as possible. The longer the time dragged on, the stronger the Lich's undead army would become.

In order to prevent adventurers from dying in vain in the Warcraft Forest and to increase the combat power of the Lich, the first order issued by Barre was to temporarily block the Warcraft Forest and no one was allowed to enter.

Because the Lich had not appeared in the world for a long time, many ordinary adventurers had not even heard of this name, and naturally did not know how dangerous it was. So Barre simply changed the name and issued this ban under the pretext of the possibility of a large-scale beast tide.
