Chapter 9 Colin's Teacher (Please read, collect, and recommend!)
Chapter 9
"teacher."
Standing in front of the courtyard surrounded by flowers, Colin did not rush in, but called out softly.
Lin En stood aside, still looking at the small courtyard, but suddenly saw the flowers around him swaying gently.
There was clearly no wind blowing, but the flowers seemed to have life and trembled slightly, as if responding to Colin's call.
After a few breaths, the flower swayed again, and this time a gentle female voice came out:
"Come in, Colin, and the little fellow beside you."
After getting a response, Colin stepped into the courtyard. Lin En naturally did not dare to neglect him and quickly followed him.
After passing through the courtyard, they soon entered the lobby on the first floor.
The hall is sunny and the air is filled with a faint floral scent. The various carefully arranged flowers make the place look particularly elegant.
In the warm and soft sunshine, a woman in a wizard's robe is standing among the flowers, holding a watering can and watering the flowers.
The woman looked to be in her early thirties, with a slim figure, long golden hair loosely draped over her shoulders, and a look of intelligence and elegance between her eyebrows.
There was always a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, giving people the illusion of gentleness, which was completely different from the image of a "dark wizard" in Lin En's mind.
Hearing the footsteps, the woman raised her head, her blue eyes were as deep and charming as the deep sea.
She looked at Ke Lin, smiled slightly, and said, "Why do you have time to come to the teacher? This little guy is..."
"Teacher, this is a new apprentice who just passed the assessment. He is a 'pure newcomer'! I think he should meet your requirements."
Colin scratched his head, chuckled, walked over to the woman, leaned over and whispered.
Lin En stood there cautiously, not daring to be disrespectful in the slightest.
He understood that this seemingly gentle and intellectual woman in front of him was not simple. As a member of the dark wizards, her gentle appearance was probably just an appearance. His true strength and methods were beyond his imagination.
"Hmm?" The woman frowned slightly when she heard this, seeming a little confused. "When did the Crucible start a war? Is it time to recruit apprentices on a large scale?"
"Not yet, Sensei."
Colin quickly shook his head and explained, "This assessment is not for recruiting people for the Crucible War. This 'pure newcomer' was chosen from a group of people with connections. He is definitely smart and has good strength."
"oh?"
The woman stretched out her tone and her eyes fell on Lin En again. Her blue eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, with a hint of amusement.
Obviously, she was very interested in how Lin En could make it through the assessment of relatives.
"In that case." The woman nodded, then looked at Colin and asked softly, "But have you explained it clearly to this little guy?"
"Yes, yes."
Colin lowered his head quickly, but still felt a little guilty, and his voice became a little softer: "No matter what, he will agree."
The woman glanced at Colin calmly, and that look seemed to be able to see through his thoughts, causing Colin to lower his head.
Then, she turned to Lin En, smiled faintly, and asked calmly, "Is that so?"
The woman's gaze fell on Lin En. Her blue eyes were so bright that they seemed to be able to captivate people. Combined with her flawless face, there was an awe-inspiring sense of oppression.
Lin En felt his heart tighten, and he didn't dare to look her in the eye. He lowered his head and said:
"Yes, Master Colin has explained it to me."
"Forget it, you're being clever again."
The woman chuckled, stretched out her slender fingers, and tapped Colin's forehead with a bit of helplessness and doting.
Then, she turned to Lin En, her expression becoming slightly more serious: "Little guy, you are a complete newcomer, so I will explain it simply and clearly."
She paused for a moment and continued, "I need a completely new and talented apprentice to become my disciple. But what I teach is different from other wizards. After becoming my disciple, you may find yourself unable to fight with other wizard apprentices for a long time. In a place like the Crucible, this situation may be very dangerous. Are you sure you want to become my disciple?"
She paused, looked at Lin En deeply, and added: "If you really think it through, we will conduct the assessment. Otherwise, let's not waste each other's time."
"No ability to fight?"
When Lin En heard this, Colin’s previous joke came to his mind—“I can’t beat the other party’s backer, so I can’t help you.”
He originally thought Colin was being modest, but now it seemed that the wizard was so outspoken, and what he said was most likely true.
In the Crucible of Dark Wizards, lack of combat ability is obviously not a good thing.
But for Lin En, he had no choice at all at the moment.
It is not an easy task to become a disciple of a wizard inside the furnace.
Others who passed the assessment, even if assigned to different departments, rarely had the opportunity to receive direct instruction from wizards.
What's more, Lin En knew very well that following this wizard might lead to danger in the future, but that danger was still far away.
If he refused this opportunity and waited for Russell's backers to find him, he would be killed immediately.
In contrast, the wizard's proposal was undoubtedly his only hope of survival.
Lin En did not hesitate, raised his head and said firmly:
"Yes, sir, I have thought it through."
The woman didn't seem surprised by his answer. She smiled calmly and said, "Okay, let's do the test. Relax. Do you see this flower?"
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Her voice was gentle and calm, yet it contained some strange magic that made Lin En feel dazed and his mind became foggy.
Even though he was a first-level wizard apprentice, he was still as defenseless as a child in front of a real wizard.
In Colin's sight, the wooden planks beneath Lynn's feet began to change.
On the originally flat floor, colorful flowers of various varieties quietly grew out, as if full of the spirituality of life.
The flowers swayed gently, as if they had their own will, climbing and spreading along Lynn's body, soon wrapping him up completely.
Lynn was wrapped in a structure that looked like a flower cocoon. The fragrance of flowers lingered around her, and the air was filled with a strange and intoxicating scent.
The beautiful teacher raised her head slightly, tapped her chin with her slender jade-like fingers, and said thoughtfully:
"As for the qualifications... they are above average. That's right, the apprentices with the real top qualifications are sent directly to the upper echelons during the initial screening by the furnace. It's already quite good to be able to pass the test."
She raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she remembered something, and her eyes fell on Lin En:
"Hmm? A first-level wizard apprentice? Is he really a complete newcomer? Let me see..."
As soon as the words fell, several deep ripples appeared in the woman's eyes, as if an invisible force penetrated Lin En's memory.
Lynn felt a slight tingling in her head, but it quickly subsided.
He didn't know that his surface memory was being quickly browsed by the wizard.
Scenes of Lynn’s life quickly flashed by, from childhood to the present.
Of course, it is only the most superficial layer of memory.
A lot of information hidden deep in the heart has not been discovered. Even a formal wizard cannot read all of Lin's memories remotely. At least he needs to use witchcraft to do so.
But that was not necessary, the beautiful wizard just wanted to take a quick tour.
"Hmm... you really have never been exposed to the world of wizards." The beautiful teacher's tone was a little doubtful. "It seems that you are either gifted or have had some special opportunity."
There was a hint of interest in her eyes, and she added, "However, aptitude is only the basis. There is also the last and most important item - seed affinity."
After saying that, she raised her palm. Her slender five fingers should have made people feel pity, but at this moment, the fingertips of her fingers began to undergo strange changes.
The tender pink skin was gradually replaced by emerald green vines, which coiled and intertwined as if they had life, eventually forming a ring-shaped disk.
Hundreds of seeds are neatly arranged on the disc, each emitting a faint energy fluctuation.
"Um?"
The beautiful teacher looked down at the disk. Her expression was calm and composed, but soon, a hint of surprise appeared on her face. "There's a reaction? Wait... How is it possible? Every seed has a reaction?"
Her eyes suddenly widened, shock and disbelief revealed in her blue pupils.
Even a wizard like her couldn't hide her surprise.
