Chapter 585: Short-lived Apprentice
"It came out intact?" a voice sounded behind Noah.
Noah's pounding heart finally calmed down a little at this time.
He lay on the ground and turned his head to see the leader of his hunting team, Wizard Brown.
"Lord Brown." Noah tried hard to stand up and leave a good impression in front of the wizard.
But being brave did not bring him any benefits.
"It seems that you are in good condition. You can stay awake even when encountering abnormalities, and you are also adaptable to mental potions. Unfortunately, if your mental body had not been destroyed by the previous drugs, you would have had a chance to become a low-level wizard apprentice."
Noah was so shocked by Wizard Brown's words that he stood still and couldn't move for a long time.
"I, I can no longer become a wizard's apprentice?" Noah's bubble of hope was burst.
He suddenly remembered the complicated emotions in the wizard Thor's eyes when he asked him to be his apprentice.
"I see. It turns out I lost my chance a long time ago."
He felt weak all over.
All the strength was drained away with the collapse of hope.
Seeing Noah standing there in a daze, Brown's patience was exhausted. He glanced at the mushroom forest in front of him and compared it with the map in his hand.
"The Rhine Lake is ahead. Since you were not injured in the Summoning Forest, why not go explore the Rhine Lake first?"
Noah's heart sank instantly.
The people who explore the way take turns. When one person explores a dangerous place, the next person will take over. If the next person dies, the next person will go.
Because every time the detection is completed, the energy of the detector will be exhausted, and some people can't even stand up.
Noah didn't expect that after trying to be strong and show some performance, he would get such a result.
Seeing that Noah was slow to move, Brown raised his hand and pointed at him from a distance.
"ah!!!"
The next second, Noah squatted down with his head in his hands.
The pain comes quickly and goes away quickly.
As soon as Noah squatted down, the pain disappeared, as if everything just now was just an illusion.
But Dr. Brown's words made Noah face the reality.
"Go quickly, or I'll make you feel pain all night next time."
Noah didn't dare to delay any longer, nor did he have the energy to be sad. He quickly got up and staggered towards the mushroom forest ahead.
Looking at the mushroom forest that seemed to grow taller as it got closer, Noah no longer knew what to feel.
This place is much weirder than the forest just now.
He had never seen such tall mushrooms, and so many of them.
"Why is this place called Rhine Lake? There is obviously no lake here? Is there a swamp under the mushrooms?" Thinking gradually calmed Noah down.
Even though there was no possibility of becoming a wizard's apprentice, Noah didn't want to die outside.
He must try to find a way to survive in these dangerous places.
Finally, he turned around to look at Wizard Brown and saw that the others had also taken a detour to come here and were looking at him expressionlessly.
Noah took a deep breath and walked into the mushroom forest.
The mushroom forest is very densely distributed, and Noah has to be very careful not to touch these mushrooms.
Although the grayish-white mushrooms are not usually poisonous, he tries to avoid them.
Strangely, these large, weird-looking mushrooms did not undergo any terrifying changes.
Noah walked around another big mushroom with trepidation, and suddenly the view in front of him opened up to a frozen lake shrouded in white mist.
"So this is... Lake Rhine."
In the center of the Rhine Lake stands a pure white tower, with a round platform on top that is wider than the tower itself.
The whole tower looks a little bit like a mushroom.
At this time, a person seemed to walk out from the bottom of the tower in the distance, but because of the distance and the hazy fog, Noah could not see the other person's appearance clearly.
However, Noah cannot see through the fog, but Thor can.
He was carrying a bunch of materials and was about to go out to find a secluded place to set up the magic circle. Unexpectedly, he was informed by Mash that a group of people came to the mushroom forest outside the wizard tower.
A little guy among the group walked into the mushroom forest alone.
It doesn't look like he's here to steal mushrooms.
Thor just went out and saw a familiar face.
"Is it him? How did he come so far away?"
Thor still had some impression of the little boy, and it was a good one.
Thinking about how Marsh said there was a group of people outside but let him in alone, he was probably being used as a test subject.
Thor snapped his fingers and called over the magic wolf that was resting nearby. He sat on the back seat and commanded the magic wolf to run towards the boy.
When Noah saw the person opposite him approaching him, his first reaction was to run away.
However, as soon as he turned around, several living vines stretched out from under the ground, directly wrapped up his hands and feet, and lifted him into the air.
Noah immediately wanted to struggle and shout, but he realized that his cry for help would not attract the rescue of the hunting team outside, but might even anger the people on the other side. So he suppressed his fear and did not shout.
But although I can close my mouth, I can’t control my body’s reactions.
Every part of his body that was not bound by vines was shaking.
His heart was beating so hard that it almost burst through his chest! Until...

"We meet again."
As the distance shortened, the people behind the fog gradually became clearer.
Noah's eyes widened, and his tightly closed mouth opened unconsciously, "Master Wizard Thor?"
"Xiao Zao, put him down." Thor asked Xiao Zao's clone to put the boy down. "Why did you come to Rhine Lake?"
Noah had now forgotten the words that Wizard Brown had taught them, and when he saw Thor, he told the truth.
"...Lord Wind Demon organized many hunting teams, but he actually asked ordinary people to test all dangerous areas one by one?" Thor touched his chin, "Why is that?"
Morton: [It sounds like they're doing some testing, looking for something.]
Penny suddenly said to Thor: "Brother Thor, this child is dying."
Thor was stunned and squinted his eyes, and saw that the boy's body was exhausted.
His spiritual body had already been ripened, and now it was stimulated again by some unknown drug he had taken.
And these detection instruments on his body should be the reason why his mental power was forcibly activated by other wizards.
If Thor had not given him a potion to repair his spirit body from the survivor Gulin, he would probably have died from the exhaustion that followed the explosion of his spirit body.
But now, Noah doesn't have much time left.
A spirit that is forcibly stimulated without the protection of equal magic power is like putting your hand into corrosive acid without wearing protective gloves. Soon, only a pile of bones will be left.
At this moment, the boy looked up at Thor's face, which seemed to have overlapped with a skull.
Thor sighed in his heart and said nothing more, "Do you want to go to the island?"
Noah already knew that he couldn't become a wizard's apprentice, and although he was curious about Thor's tower, he restrained himself.
"No, sir, I still have to go back to turn in a mission. Anyway, I have come this far enough."
Noah didn't want to carry so many testing instruments with him into Thor's wizard tower. It would be terrible if Wizard Brown's testing instruments were harmful to the wizard tower.
Anyway, the distance from the center of the lake to him should be within the testing range of the instrument, and the instrument did not issue any alarm.
"I won't waste your time, Master Thor." Noah bowed respectfully to Thor, "I will go back now."
After saying that, he strode out with all the instruments on his back.
Thor just stood there, looking at his back in silence.
Perhaps because he knew that this place was the territory of the wizard Thor, Noah no longer felt it was scary when he passed through the mushroom forest again.
Even the big round-headed mushrooms are kind of cute.
He jogged out of the mushroom forest and saw Wizard Brown and his companions outside.
He slowed down his pace, calming his breathing and heartbeat which had quickened from running.
"Lord Brown, I have tested this place--"
The sound stopped abruptly, and the pounding heartbeat seemed to be paused.
Noah fell straight down with his mouth slightly open.
"Bang!"
The dry earth stirred up only a little dust.
Wizard Brown stepped forward and neatly took off the test equipment on Noah. He ignored him and turned back to the others and said, "The equipment has no warning. Let's go to the next place."
