Chapter 162 I Like Your Eyes
Although Mentor Rum didn't look very happy, he still let Thor go.
However, shortly after Thor left, someone knocked on Rum's door again.
"Mentor." It was Nick's voice.
Nick came in with permission.
He always had a smile on his face, which was completely different from his usual expressionless look.
Rum glanced at Nick for a few times and understood his current condition. "Has the medicine been almost absorbed?"
Nick's smile grew brighter. "Yes, mentor, I can feel that my emotions are becoming more and more stable. I don't have to suppress myself like before."
Unexpectedly, Rum sighed and said, "You stayed at level 2 for a long time. This made me doubt whether this path is really suitable for you."
"This is the path I chose myself, so don't worry, mentor." Nick's expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help but start crying.
Rum was not surprised, knowing that this was a necessary ordeal for Nick to go through in order to get promoted.
Except for some gifted ones, it is not easy for anyone to get promoted.
In the wizarding world, every stage of promotion is dangerous, but promotion is necessary.
Once you choose to embark on the path of a wizard, you must keep moving forward. Long-term stagnation is a fatal danger.
Rum's hands tapped his belly gently, creating ripples.
"I heard that the tower master rescued you halfway and took Thor away?"
Nick calmed down a little, raised his hand to wipe away his tears, "Yes."
He thought for a moment and then took the initiative to say, "Byron once said in the Valley of the Hands that Thor was the Tower Master's student. Although he later explained that it was a temporary fabrication to deceive the enemy, I now think that maybe what Byron said was true."
Instructor Rum nodded slowly.
He nodded ever so slightly, because if he did, his chin would have rested on the fat of his neck.
"Perhaps Thor's job in the tower was also arranged by the tower master himself. What a pity... He was originally very suitable to major in light."
In this wizard tower, no one can disobey the orders of the tower master Gorsa, not even the high-ranking mentors.
Rum suddenly changed the subject, "Have you been to Mofan Town?"
Nick had already registered and handed in this task in the registration office, but he did not mention that it was a task that Thor completed for him.
He had selfish motives for this mission and only wanted to conceal his role in it as much as possible.
But when Rum asked Nick about it, he was in an unstable mood because of the promotion. He dared not hide it and could only say evasively: "Before arriving in Mofan Town, I received the news that my father had passed away, and asked someone to help me complete the task. Now the Mosheng fruit there has been basically destroyed by the invasion of barbarians, and I am afraid that they will no longer be able to pay tribute to Mosheng fruit in the future. I have proposed to the registration office to withdraw the protection of Mofan Town."
"No need to bother." Rum smiled softly, "Mofan Town has completely disappeared."
Nick looked up in astonishment, the surprise on his face could not be concealed at all, and there was even a hint of fear.
Rum looked nonchalant, "Fortunately, you have already started to be promoted, so you don't need the Mosheng Fruit to help you suppress your emotions anymore."
Nick behaved a little strangely, he pursed his lips, the muscles at the corners of his mouth trembled constantly, and his pupils shrank into pinholes.
It was as if I had heard some extremely horrible news.
Rum suddenly reached out and pressed his hand on Nick's head.
"Don't be so scared, Nick. You are one of my favorite students. Even if you make a small mistake occasionally, I won't eat you immediately."
Nick fell to his knees and tried to beg for mercy, but his throat was shaking and he couldn't speak.
Looking at Nick who was so excited, Teacher Rum's head slowly slid from the top of his body to near his belly, staring at Nick's forehead where sweat began to ooze out.
"Let's just forget about what happened in Mofan Town. You don't have to worry about Thor." Rum's hand gently stroked Nick's head. As he moved, strands of brown hair fell to the ground and then melted away as if corroded.
"Yes, mentor." Nick looked up at his hair on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
"Although this is the Gorza Wizard Tower, I am your mentor after all. If you really don't want to get involved, then just continue doing your research honestly."
"As a student I value, your position is naturally determined. Don't always try to please both sides."
"Yes, yes, mentor..." Nick's teeth began to chatter, and his voice was choked and unclear.
"Since you are about to be promoted, I will let you go this time. Go to the room opposite and wait until you are calm before leaving."
"yes."
Nick crawled backwards out of the curtained room.
When he left, all his hair had fallen out, revealing a not very smooth bald spot.
Rum stroked up the head and returned to the top of the body.
"That doesn't matter." As if answering someone's question, "If you don't do anything, people will be suspicious. Bill is dead anyway, isn't he? It saves you from having to do anything."
“Hehehe…”
The laughter echoed in the room, but was blocked by the thick curtains and not a single sound could be heard outside.
…
Sol, who left Rum's room, had no idea what price Nick paid for his little thoughts.
His attention was completely absorbed by the conversation of the passing apprentices.
"It is said that the Level 2 apprentice who took on the Dead Flower mission last time gave up on his own initiative."
Two second-level female apprentices were standing between the ramps on the twelfth and thirteenth floors, whispering to each other.
Thor, who was pushing the cart, slowed down suddenly.
“Is this task difficult?”
"I think it's not difficult to solve the problem, but it's hard to find the person who caused the problem. Last time, after Sarri took the task, he waited for a few days but didn't find anything unusual. As a result, another servant died in the early hours of yesterday morning."
The other female apprentice laughed disdainfully, rolled her eyes, and raised the ends of her braids like a cobra.
"Lucy, how about we take on this mission? Since someone has already given up on the mission, the reward points for this mission will definitely increase again."
The apprentice named Lucy was moved by what she said, "Okay, let's go now, don't let anyone get there first!"
The two hit it off immediately, hand in hand, and quickly disappeared around the bend of the ramp.
Thor, who had been moving in small steps for a long time, finally took a step forward.
"Sure enough, my second dream also happened in reality."
Passing by the twelfth floor, Thor took a look inside.
The dead flowers that once stood in the corridor had long been cleared away.
"I hope they can deal with the culprit behind this. I still want to get a good night's sleep."
There are no public classes for second-level apprentices. Of course, if they really want to listen, they can also attend the classes of first-level apprentices.
After entering the second level, there will be obvious differences in everyone's knowledge areas and levels. Forcing them to take classes together will actually slow down everyone's progress.
Therefore, after being promoted to the second level, my personal learning will be mainly self-study, and I can get guidance from the tutor every few days.
To prevent the apprentice from going further and further down the wrong path and accidentally blowing himself up.
Level 1 apprentices need to test their learning (or work) progress once a month, while level 2 ... every six months.
It’s just that Thor had just been promoted to level two, and he had a year of preparation before his first test.
For a long time, he didn't have to worry about his own testing.
So, after adapting to the work in the second warehouse, Sol began his new round of research journey.
There were a lot of materials in the second warehouse, and a small part of them were not marked with any serial numbers. The rulebook stated that Thor could use these materials as long as he didn't waste them carelessly.
The things in the warehouse can only be used by him, and he cannot take them out of the warehouse to give to other apprentices.
Therefore, although this work is tedious and there is not much time for study and research, many people still flock to it.
Although there is no big man guarding outside the morgue, the three metal doors are not just for show.
There is some kind of connection between them and the communication pen, which can automatically determine which materials are within the scope of mission requirements and which are not.
Once there are materials that are out of range on your body, there is no way to push open the metal door.
At least Thor didn't.
After two days of sorting out materials in the warehouse, Thor received another task from Mentor Kaz.
There are dozens of types of materials for this mission. Fortunately, Thor has already completed half of the retrieval table, otherwise it would be difficult to complete the mission on time.
While pushing the cart out of the warehouse, Thor met a man on the way.
The man, wearing a long, heavy cloak like the tower master and a mask on his face, came out from the corridor on the left.
"He should be the person in charge of the first warehouse." Thor stopped where he was, wondering whether he should say hello.
But the other party walked straight past Thor without stopping at all.
There is no intention of greeting.
Thor laughed to himself.
After traveling around the outside world and having a few friends around him, he almost forgot that the wizard tower was actually a cold place.
However, before Thor's smile faded, the person in front of him suddenly stopped.
Thor immediately became alert and stopped, and the two of them kept a distance of two meters between them.
The other party did not turn around, but lowered his head deeply.
As he lowered his head, a crack appeared on the back of his hat.
An ugly woman's face was revealed under the crack.
Like the spookiest witch in anime.
"I like your eyes, can you give them to me?" the woman asked in a hoarse voice.
"Sorry," Thor's face turned cold, "I can still be of use."
