The guest rooms Charles arranged for them were all single rooms, and the conditions inside were quite good.
After such a disastrous day, it was getting late. Looking at the students' pale and tired faces, Ilsa specially went out to order a big meal for them.
After everyone finished their meal, Ilsa said to them, "After so many things today, everyone must be very tired. Go back and get some rest. The Vatican will have a solution for the curse."
Marshall followed suit, saying, "Yes, Bishop Charles just said he had seen this curse in a book. There must be a way to break it. We just have to wait patiently."
Watching the students return to their rooms one after another, Ilsa handed over the responsibility of taking care of them to Marshall.
Such an incident happened during the training camp, and it must be reported to the school. However, she was busy with many things after she came out and had no time to contact the school. Now that she has time, she must let them know first.
Gu Shi was lying in bed but he couldn't sleep at all. He raised his hand and touched the dark mark on his arm. He could vaguely feel that the mark was absorbing the magic power and vitality in his body.
Although the degree of absorption is mild now and will not cause any impact on him, I am afraid it will become more and more serious in the future. I hope the people of the Holy See of Light can find a solution as soon as possible.
"Dongdong"
There was a knock on the door. Gu Shi walked over and opened it, and found a pastor in a white robe standing outside.
The priest handed him a small crystal bottle and said, "This contains holy water. Although it won't remove the curse on you, drinking it will be good for your health."
Gu Shi took the holy water and said, "Thank you."
After drinking the holy water, he did feel better and the tingling in his arm was relieved.
After the pastor left, Gu Shi closed his eyes and lay in bed for a long time, but still couldn't fall asleep. He simply got up, got dressed, and prepared to walk around the church.
Leaving the room, Gu Shi walked through the long corridor. The moonlight shone through the colorful printed glass onto the smooth floor, casting mottled light and shadows.
There was no one around, only his footsteps echoed in the silent corridor.
Gu Shi didn't know the internal structure of the church, so he just randomly chose a direction to move forward. He wandered aimlessly in the church and came to a small open-air garden.
It can be seen that this garden has been carefully maintained, and various beautiful flowers are quietly blooming under the moonlight.
Seeing this scene, Gu Shi stopped and sat down on a bench in the garden.
Not long after he sat down, he heard footsteps in the corridor behind him.
Gu Shi didn't look back, but just thought that there were still people passing by here so late.
The footsteps stopped not far away, and then a familiar voice came, "Gu Shi? Why are you here?"
Gu Shi looked back and saw that it was Field Burns who was there.
Unexpectedly meeting Field here, Gu Shi greeted him, "Good evening, mentor. I couldn't sleep, so I thought I'd come out to get some fresh air."
After that, he asked again: "Have you solved the problem over there?"
Field walked to the other side of the bench and sat down. "Well, I've already told the city lord and the bishop everything I know. They will definitely take action. The Warcraft Forest will be sealed off for a while until they can find a way to solve the lich problem."
Gu Shi felt a little strange about Field sitting down next to him. It was so late, shouldn't he go back and rest quickly?
However, he did not express his doubts aloud, but said: "Is that so? But it shouldn't be an easy problem to deal with the lich, right?"
Field sighed softly, "Yes, if there is no way to find the lich's phylactery, even if we defeat him, it will only be a temporary solution."
The two were silent for a while.
Field suddenly asked, "Gu Shi, are you willing to be my student?"
Gu Shi was confused by his question and thought he had misheard, "What?"
What's going on? Why did the topic suddenly jump to becoming a disciple?
Field repeated, "I'm asking if you'd like to be my student."
Gu Shi calmed down and asked, "Teacher, why did you choose me to be your student?"
Field answered truthfully: "Because of your talent and character."
"You have become a fourth-level advanced mage in less than two years after entering school. Your talent is unquestionable.
But you didn't slack off in your daily practice because of your achievements. I have been observing you for a long time in Ilsa's class, and you have been studying and practicing hard.
Judging from the time it takes you to learn new magic and your proficiency in casting magic, you are an absolute genius in this area."
"During this incident in the Warcraft Forest, you were able to stand up and help others in a critical moment, proving that your character is also qualified.
I don't necessarily require my students to be kind or have a sense of justice. Sometimes, being able to protect oneself is a very valuable quality. But there must be a bottom line for being a human being. My students cannot be extremely evil people.
"In summary, your talent and character meet my standards for recruiting students, so I will now invite you to become my student."
After hearing Field's answer, Gu Shi suddenly realized that Field always paid attention to him during practical classes because he was evaluating his performance.
Gu Shi did not respond to Field's invitation immediately. Although he had passed Field's assessment, it was only one-sided.
Field already knew Gu Shi, but Gu Shi did not know Field. He even learned his name through Ilsa's introduction before the departure of this training camp.
In this world, becoming a disciple is something that needs to be taken with extreme caution, because after becoming a disciple, the teacher and the student are bound together, and in the eyes of others, they are a community.
After thinking for a while, Gu Shi spoke carefully, "I am very grateful for your appreciation of me, but I am not familiar with you yet, so I hope you can give me some time to think about this matter carefully."
Field smiled slightly and agreed to Gu Shi's request, "Of course, my invitation is valid for a long time."
Field was confident that after learning about his resume, Gu Shi would choose to agree to his offer.
Having accomplished his goal, Field planned to leave. "Then I'll go back first. You should go back and rest early as well."
After saying that, he stood up and left the small garden.
Gu Shi sat on the bench for a while before leaving.
