Chapter 24: It’s not shameful to tell the teacher

Chapter 24: It’s not shameful to tell the teacher

It turns out that this meditation map is called an erosion map.

But Thor still felt that the name he gave was more vivid and appropriate.

"Teacher, I asked other people, but none of their meditation books have this picture. I am the only one who has it... Someone has touched my book. Someone wants to kill me!"

Thor's expression kept changing between anger and fear.

"So what?" Kaz was calm, even a little indifferent.

"Please, Master, save me."

Kaz's white eyebrows frowned and he looked down at Thor.

"My boy, the wizard world is not about truth, goodness and beauty. In order to become stronger and to explore deeper mysteries, everyone will do anything to get what they want. What you need to do is to adapt to this world instead of just thinking about seeking shelter."

"Teacher Kaz, I understand that there is natural selection, but I have only been an apprentice for two days, and someone has already ordered the maids and even other apprentices to deal with me. Is there any other hidden reason? I am now..." Thor hunched his shoulders, covered his stomach, and said pitifully, "I dare not even eat the food brought by the maids."

"Survival of the fittest?" Kaz was stunned. "You haven't learned much, but you have a lot of words."

He thought about it and finally gave in. "Whoever wanted to harm you and ordered the servants and apprentices of the wizard tower to do so has indeed crossed the line. I know about this matter, and no one will dare to touch the apprentices' supplies in the future."

He placed a hand on Thor's head and said, "Your ability to avoid the Erosion Map's plot is yours, and that's the most important thing. Go back and eat well, study hard, and become stronger. Then you will find that the dangers on the road to becoming a wizard are much more terrifying than someone plotting against you."

Thor's request for help today consumed the time spent asking questions, Kaz said, and walked out of the morgue with his hands behind his back.

Thor was slightly relieved, but also a little disappointed.

Although Kaz said that Thor didn't have to worry about being plotted against in his daily life, he did not say that he would help Thor find the murderer behind the scenes.

This means that he also has to worry that Sid will cause trouble for him somewhere else, or even... kill him himself.

Fortunately, the wizard tower should have certain constraints on second-level apprentices, otherwise Sid would not have tried such tricks to deal with himself.

For a second-level apprentice to kill a new apprentice, it would only take a flick of the finger.

We still have to find a way to become stronger as soon as possible.

At the same time, he must find a way to avoid West Germany's conspiracy before he is able to resist.

Saul began copying books again.

He had a blank expression on his face and wrote very quickly, not even slowing down much when copying the complex Noahic language in the book.

At seven o'clock, he left the morgue.

As he was leaving, he suddenly saw the scarlet door next door open, and a man in his early twenties walked out. The badge on his clothes showed that he was also a first-level apprentice.

Judging from his age, you can tell that he is a very senior first-level apprentice.

When the other person saw Thor, his gaze passed over him as if he were looking at air.

Thor silently stepped aside and let the other person walk up the ramp first.

There is no work today, so everyone can leave work on time.

Thor stood next to the door for a while, trying to see if the red wooden door at the deepest part would open.

That should be the room where the first stage of corpse processing takes place.

But Thor waited for about ten minutes, and there was no movement from the door.

Thinking that he couldn't delay here too long, Thor hurried away with the book.

…

Kaz is in a bad mood today.

None of his new apprentices satisfied him.

That Duke has a high perception of dark elements and good magical talent, but his brain is not flexible and he has no spirituality.

If it's so difficult to learn a few small runes, how can I learn witchcraft in the future?

Angela is talented and smarter than Duke, but she is too impetuous.

Those big eyes are cute, but they are always rolling around.

Even learning basic knowledge, something that only requires hard work, she can do it well.

He thought he was doing a good job of pretending to be innocent.

Kaz himself is not a calculating person, so he doesn't like such an apprentice.

In his opinion, anyone who becomes a high-level wizard apprentice through calculation will eventually fail on the road to becoming a formal wizard.

And Angela reminded Kaz of another girl.

That guy is probably now reaping the fruits of his own labor.

As for Thor...

Kaz didn't take him seriously at first.

In his opinion, a person without magical talent becoming an apprentice would be a waste of the wizard tower's resources.

I think Thor must have used some tricks to become an apprentice.

Kaz originally wanted to take him down during the first test, but he accidentally discovered Thor's spiritual talent.

No, it’s not accurate to say that it was an accidental discovery.

Someone told him to do that.

Kaz walked slowly up the ramp between the sixteenth and seventeenth floors of the East Tower.

The sixteenth and seventeenth floors of the East Tower are the residences of the mentors.

Suddenly, the shadows around began to move.

Although the light from the candlesticks was still as steady as ever, the shadows under his feet seemed to be fleeing, transforming into countless tiny black dots that collided and jumped, scrambled and burrowed into the cracks in the stones.

Kaz paused, his face twitching, his breathing slowing.

Who says that a formal wizard won't be afraid? He looked up and saw a man walking down the ramp.

His arms were close to his sides without swinging, and his heels were raised high when he walked, with only the tip of his toes touching the ground.

It was as if the ground was dirty and he was trying to avoid contact with it.

Most importantly, the man was wrapped in pink bandages all over his body, with only a pair of silver eyes showing.

Kaz leaned down deeply.

"Tower Master."

"Um."

With a simple response, the man in the pink bandage and Kaz passed by each other.

Kaz let out a half breath in his heart.

But before he could spit out the other half, he found that the tower master stopped after taking two steps.

He turned around quickly, not daring to face the tower master with his back.

"Is that little guy suitable for handling corpses?"

The tower master, who even the official wizard Kaz was afraid of, had a very gentle voice.

"Yes, his soul talent is indeed good. The first time he processed a corpse, he actually found one more material than me."

"Haha, that must be because you are not serious." The tower master laughed.

Kaz shuddered.

"Show this to him so he can master it quickly."

The bandage on the tower master's abdomen tore a deep hole. He reached his slender fingers in and pulled out a thin silk book.

"Okay." Kaz took it with both hands.

"Oh, tower master," Kaz suddenly remembered the boy who asked him for help today, "someone has touched that boy's meditation book and replaced one of the pages with an erosion map."

The tower master turned around and seemed quite interested.

"He meditates using the Erosion Diagram?"

"Well, I don't think so. How can a new apprentice resist the erosion map? I guess I was lucky to find something wrong and waited until today to tell me."

A cold wind whistled through the passage.

The tower master's body, with only the toes touching the ground, swayed like a reed.

"That won't do. The wizard apprentice is mine, the meditation book is mine, and the maid is mine." The tower master's eyes curved, as if he was smiling, "By the way, the laboratory is also mine."

Laboratory? Kaz felt cold sweat in his hair, but he shrank back and didn't dare to let it flow down his cheeks.

"Go find that bad guy and make him pay."

After saying this, the tower master turned around and continued to descend.

As his figure disappeared behind the bend, countless black shadow dots jumped out from the cracks in the stones and excitedly re-formed shadows.

Kaz looked down at the book in his hands, confused.

Tower Master, why do you value that Thor so much? (End of this chapter)
