Chapter 75: Let’s clear up the misunderstanding first
The West Tower Dormitory, which is a safe area for apprentices, is also a dangerous area for him who used to be a servant. When Thor walks in the dormitory area at night, he often feels something strange.
But the floor where the instructor was located did not have that weird and dangerous feeling.
Not at all.
Is it that the ability of formal wizards to control power has greatly improved, or are all dangers already contained to the point where nothing can escape them?
Thor reached the end of the hallway and glanced up the ramp.
Mentor Kaz lives on the seventeenth floor.
Normally he rarely appears in the laboratory and the morgue. Does he treat the dormitory as a real laboratory just like Professor Rum?
As for the eighteenth floor and above, it is all the private space of the tower owner.
It is said that Lord Gorsata is a second-level wizard, but he is a super-strong second-level wizard that is extremely close to the third level.
As for how strong they are, no one has described it. All we know is that the five mentors completely obey the orders of the Tower Master.
The second-level wizard is a level that Thor cannot reach at all now.
Thinking of the vengeful spirit on his body, Thor temporarily put aside his yearning to become a formal wizard and quickened his pace to leave this floor.
When Thor came to the second laboratory on the 14th floor, he found that the door was open.
Thor walked to the door and looked inside.
This laboratory is much smaller than Professor Katz's laboratory. It does not have rows of cabinets for storing materials, but it has many more workbenches.
The most eye-catching thing in the room is a high-backed chair made of metal with double armrests. There are several ropes as thick as thumbs hanging under the chair.
There was also an operating table directly opposite the chair, with a man standing behind it.
The man with brown curly hair and a second-level apprentice name tag on his chest was burning something in a brazier with an expressionless face.
A wisp of blue smoke rose from the brazier, sometimes dissipating, sometimes gathering, and finally dissipating on the roof.
Afraid that the other party was doing an experiment, Thor did not make a sound to disturb him.
If you startle the other party and your hand shakes, all your efforts will be ruined, and then the other party will blackmail you, which will be bad.
Thor stood at the door, intending to wait for the other party to discover him before going in.
Unexpectedly, just as Thor stopped walking, he heard the person inside say, "Why don't you come in? The door is reserved for you."
"Senior Nick?" Thor asked tentatively.
Nick looked up, smoke swirling around his face, "Do you remember me?"
"..." Thor didn't remember him at all. It was clearly a name he had just heard from Mentor Rum.
"Oh, well, it looks like you've forgotten." Nick lowered his head again, with no sign of anger on his face.
It seems normal that no one remembers it.
"Come in, close the door, and I'll tell you what to pay attention to here."
Thor walked in as he was told and stood next to Nick.
Nick looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, but he had a calm temperament and looked more like a thirty-year-old man than Senior Byron.
"I heard you work in the morgue?"
"Yes, Senior."
Nick nodded. "Working in the morgue often involves dealing with dead people, while here we often deal with living people."
Nick turned his head to look at Thor, "I am good at observing emotions, and the witchcraft I am learning now is mostly related to emotions."
Senior Nick actually revealed his special skills right at the beginning? Thor's brain quickly turned, this should be the key to the experiment later, so Nick explained it in advance.
Stimulate emotions?
That doesn't sound very impressive.
Is it offensive? Is it to make people cry or laugh to death? Wait!
Thor's head snapped up and he looked at Nick.
He remembered who Nick was!
In his diary, he described many strange ways of dying, one of which was dying from laughter.
Nick was the senior who sat next to Sid when Sol and his group of new recruits were tested! So he was so amused at that time, but was it actually Nick who made the move? Was the opponent also one of Sid's killer moves?
Nick was still introducing himself expressionlessly, unaware that Thor was already preparing to take out his pocket.
"...Our experiments here are also mainly based on observing the emotions of spirits. The instructor appointed me to lead this part. The instructor said that you are good at directly observing spirits, so he asked you to come here to cooperate with the experiment... Your emotions fluctuate greatly, is there something wrong?"
Nick turned off the fire, the smoke dissipated little by little, and finally there was nothing left in the brazier.
"Are you the senior who tested us back then?" Thor secretly put his left hand in front of him, and his right hand held a small bottle in his pocket.
"Yes." Nick put away the brazier and took out two earmuffs from under the operating table. He hung one around his neck and handed the other to Thor.
"Sid and I are usually work partners, so when he accepted the task of testing newcomers, I went with him."
Thor took the earmuffs with his left hand but did not put them on.
Nick is Sid's friend?
He placed his right thumb against the body of the small bottle.
"Professor Rum no longer intends to pursue the matter of Sid." Sol first brought up Rum, hoping that Nick was a rational person and would not do anything in the laboratory.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But Nick was more rational than Saul thought.
He put down the experimental equipment he was organizing and turned around.
"You're still very nervous... Never mind. In order to prevent Sid from becoming an obstacle to our future work, I think I need to explain everything that happened before to you."
Nick's expression remained indifferent, and it was hard to tell whether he was sad about Sid's death.
"You don't have to be hostile to me. In a sense, I saved your life."
Thor still held his earlobes tightly and stared up at Nick.
"On the day of the test, Sid was a little abnormal. He usually has a bad temper and foul mouth, but I didn't expect him to suddenly kill a new apprentice."
Nick narrated calmly.
"You know, one of the rules here is that everything in the wizard tower is the property of the tower owner. So if you cause losses to the tower owner without reason, you may be punished."
"So I was very surprised at the time. If Sid really didn't like that fat guy, he could have just made him a slave or killed him in secret. Why did he suddenly attack in public?"
"Later, oh, it was much later, after I heard that you killed Sid, I realized it. Sid killed the fat guy, probably to make an excuse to kill you later. Anyway, you were just a reserve apprentice at the time, and I didn't care whether you lived or died."
"And Sid secretly encouraged me to kill you while you were unconscious, explaining that we would not be punished for this action." Nick lowered his eyes, "Because those who have not passed the test and have not been demoted to servants are not considered the property of the wizard tower. I didn't notice that you were a servant at that time, and I was almost persuaded by him."
"Side is always good at finding loopholes in rules and human nature. Fortunately, I am more rational." Nick nodded, seeming quite proud of himself.
The reason why Saul “died of laughter” in his diary was really because of Nick!
Thor felt his teeth itching when he heard this.
Although Sid was dead, Thor was still angry when he realized that he had done so many cruel things to him, and he wanted to kill him again! During the test, because the diary confirmed Thor's judgment, Thor did not follow the normal test order of others, but avoided the lowest talent magic power and tested the other two first. After receiving the feedback that he had a high talent for mental power, he fainted.
Perhaps because he valued Thor's talent, or perhaps because he felt that killing an apprentice whose talent was still uncertain might lead to accountability, Nick finally let Thor go.
Nick judged that Thor had passed, and Sid's plan failed. He could only watch Thor become an apprentice and a more valuable property of the tower owner.
If he wanted to kill Thor again, his actions would need to be more covert and the cost would be greater.
Thor was silent for a moment, then followed Nick's example and hung the earmuffs around his neck.
"Thank you, Senior. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to pass the test and would have died or turned back into a servant to be bullied by others."
If Thor returns to the servant area, neither the boys who have been intimidated by him nor the butler who has been mocked by him will let him go.
In the end, it is a dead end.
Nick stared down at the operating table, stroking the stubble on his chin with his free hand. "In fact, the apprentice entrance test does not require all three talents to meet the standards. As long as you are considered worthy of training, you can pass the test, so you don't need to worry too much about your abilities. But there is one thing you must remember, remember! I let you survive because I determined that you are worthy of training."
Thor nodded vigorously. He would remember it.
Changing the word count of a paragraph seems to delete the paragraph comment. I changed a bug in chapter 11.
Thank you for the reward! Thank you for the support of readers!
Writing a novel really tests your mentality, especially when this book is being promoted, everyone’s support is my booster!
