Chapter 587: Accepting a Junior Apprentice

Chapter 587: Taking in a Young Apprentice

Thor and Brando finally failed to reach an agreement, and Brando had to leave in disappointment.

Gagagu stayed and continued to trade with Thor.

Just because he brought Brando with him, which might have made Thor unhappy, Jar Jar deliberately lowered the price a little.

While selecting the goods, Thor asked Gagagu: "Has anything big happened in the Borderlands recently?"

Jar Jar told Thor that they were looking for dangers everywhere. On the surface, they were trying to establish a code for the no-man's land, but Jar Jar felt that they were looking for something. He just didn't know what.

The three third-level wizards seemed to want to act together, and the Wind Demon and Firefly Lord, who once had some conflicts, also temporarily put aside their grudges.

"The third-level wizards are all looking for something, and this thing may appear in every dangerous area. They only know that it exists, but they don't know where it is, so they can only use the most stupid investigation method." Sol held his chin and muttered in his mind, "Why does it feel like some kind of prophecy?"

His expression gradually became serious. "If it is really something that a third-level wizard would spare no effort to find, then the content of the prophecy is probably either something extremely rare or an extremely terrible disaster."

Thor smacked his lips. "I really hope it's the former."

After completing the deal, Thor helped Gaga drum clean up the pollution for the last time.

From now on, as long as Jar Jar makes good use of the substitute doll that Thor made for him, he will no longer be entangled by the pollution in the huge bag behind him.

Of course, in addition to the luggage, there are many other pollutions and dangers in the Borderland, which are beyond the protection range of the substitute doll.

When Thor returned to the wizard tower, he saw Noah coming down from the second floor with the butler.

There was still a trace of panic on Noah's face. When he went downstairs, he looked back from time to time and almost fell. The butler who was prepared for it grabbed him by the collar and put him on the ground.

"Lord Thor."

Seeing Thor coming back from outside, Noah couldn't help but run up to him.

This Noah had been forced to mature, and had experienced a lot of despair and danger, but his original age was probably less than ten years old.

After he had lived in the wizard tower for two days, the liveliness in his bones slowly returned.

"Lord Thor, Mr. Hope and I just went to see your laboratory on the third floor. It's amazing!"

Noah used to only think about how powerful wizards were, how dangerous their witchcraft was, and how strange their behavior was.

So his desire to become a wizard's apprentice was more of a desire to be strong.

But after seeing Thor's (surface) laboratory, he realized that what wizards really study is knowledge.

Only knowledge can make people pursue it day and night and be obsessed with it!

Although Noah still couldn't understand it now, he was fascinated by the magnificent world.

"Lord Thor, can I really learn witchcraft from you?" Noah looked up. Although his face was pale, his eyes were full of light.

Thor originally wanted to ask him whether he wanted a safe but short life, or a dangerous, difficult, but possibly shorter life? But now it seems that Noah's choice is obvious.

"It seems that you have made up your mind. But I still have to warn you that after becoming an apprentice, you may encounter many dangers. You may die in a monster attack the next day."

"Yes, sir. The butler has already told me." Noah thought for a moment, then knelt on the ground with a plop. "Maybe because I've died once before, I'm not so afraid of death anymore. On the contrary, I would be very, very, very scared if I couldn't even take a peek at the magical world you're in before I die."

"Please accept me. I will study hard and do my best to complete the tasks you assign me!"

As soon as Thor raised his hand, an invisible force lifted Noah up.

"No need for that. You can just call me mentor." Thor asked the butler to teach Noah the etiquette among wizards in the evening, and then led his men to the top floor of the wizard tower.

Noah had only been living on the first floor of the wizard tower for the past two days. He had just visited the third floor and was now following Thor as he continued to walk up, his heart full of curiosity and excitement.

When he reached the top floor of the wizard tower, he discovered that from the inside, the circular platform on the top of the tower was actually surrounded by a huge transparent barrier.

From the outside, there is nothing on top of the tower.

But inside, you can see a huge cube.

It was taller than Thor, and even with outstretched hands one could not touch its edge.

The entire cube is black iron in color. Upon closer inspection, it is not as smooth as iron, but seems to be covered with small uneven particles.

"Don't stare at the patterns on it." Thor warned, "That's a blurred witchcraft circle. If you stare at it, your eyes will be sucked in."

Noah was stunned and quickly looked away, "Yes, mentor."

Thor took Noah around to the other side of the cube.

On this cube wall, there was a headless corpse hanging.

The upper body of the corpse had been stripped naked, and the hands and feet were in a diagonal position.

Looking closely, there were no nails or chains on the body, as if it was attached to the cube.

Thor stepped forward and suddenly there was a small knife in his hand. He lightly scratched one of the corpse's arms.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The skin and flesh parted, revealing the pale texture underneath.

There are some black and brown impurities in the skin.

Then a black tentacle extended from the back of Thor's neck and lifted him directly onto the cube.

From Noah's perspective, he couldn't see what was on the cube. He could only see Thor squatting down and reaching his hand into it to stir it like the surface of water.

When he withdrew his hand, his palm was covered with a layer of black sticky liquid.

The liquid continued to slide down, but when it was halfway down, it suddenly jumped up and grabbed Thor's wrist.

It was like a hand that suddenly jumped up and grabbed Thor before falling.

Thor remained calm and shook his wrist lightly, and the black liquid eventually fell back into the cube without even a splash.

Thor jumped off the cube again and opened his palms to show Noah.

"I'll give you a month to learn some specialized knowledge. After a month, I'll send you to a sparsely populated area to collect these black particles."

There was a layer of fine black particles on Thor's palm, which looked like sand, but when Thor twisted it with his fingers, it immediately turned into finer and smaller powder.

"I will temporarily call this thing black magic powder. I will teach you how to identify and collect it, and leave you some necessities for survival and a clone of Xiaozao.

Your main task at that time will be to collect and find ways to stay alive. I can't always be with you, but I will visit you every once in a while and guide your studies."

Noah nodded repeatedly. He stared at the black powder in Thor's palm and felt that this thing was magical, but also seemed very dangerous.

This made his heart pound, and he didn't know whether it was out of fear or excitement.

Thor collected all the black magic powder in his palm into a small sealed bottle.

The bottle was then handed to Noah so that he would be familiar with his goal throughout the rest of his study career.

Noah carefully took the bottle, held it in both hands, and placed it against his chest, looking as if he cherished it very much.

"Then next," Thor thought about the personnel arrangement, "you should learn the common language of wizards from Agu first."
