Taylor's Wizard Tower "There are still three apprentices left. It seems that I am lucky. However, the best batch should have been selected."

Taylor frowned slightly as he looked at the information of the three apprentices provided by Hawkes.

After becoming a first-level wizard, he had already learned some of the inside story. After becoming a second-level wizard, he also understood that the top apprentice seedlings should have been taken away by other wizards, and he was already one step behind.

"Partial elven blood, which means that the blood in your body is incomplete? Being able to research elemental puppets during the apprentice stage proves that you have some talent in puppetry, but I don't know if you can show it further."

Looking at the three documents, Taylor thought about it and finally decided to let Hawkes call the three little guys together.

Let’s wait and see.

"Your will is obeyed."

Hawkes bowed to Taylor and walked away. He planned to go to the apprentice dormitory again to call the three apprentices as soon as possible.

…………………………

McKen has not been in a very good mood recently because he wants to make a breakthrough and further correct the shortcomings of the elemental puppets, or distribute their elemental cores in a free state to avoid the risk of being directly shattered by the enemy.

But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do it, or rather, the subtle manipulation of his current mental power was not enough to support him in achieving his goal.

After experiencing the 26th failure, McKen angrily slammed the table, waved his hand and threw the elemental puppet core in his hand, which was emitting a slight burning breath, to the wall.

This was a new fire elemental puppet he had made. However, no matter how he adjusted it, the core of the elemental puppet could only move in a small range and could not achieve the full-body wandering state he required.

“Damn it!”

McKen growled. Facing more than 20 failures, he, who had always been calm, couldn't help but become a little upset. He was very dissatisfied with the results he had achieved.

Knock, knock, knock!!! Feeling very disappointed with himself, Macken suddenly heard his door slamming, and the amplitude was so loud that it sounded like someone was banging on it. On the other side of the door, Hawkes just stretched out a finger and tapped it lightly three times.

"Who?"

After suppressing the anger in his heart, McKen opened the door with a gloomy face. As soon as he opened it, he almost bumped into a steel body. He looked up and saw a giant heavily armored man over three meters tall staring at him.

What's happening?!

When McKen noticed Hawkes staring at him, his heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously felt a little panic and fear.

"Is your name Macon?"

Hawkes didn't care whether the young man in front of him was afraid or not. He asked McKen's name directly when they met for the first time.

"…………yes…………"

Mike shrank his neck and spoke cautiously.

If that’s the case, then that’s easy to say.

Hawks just nodded slightly, then stepped aside and spoke to Mike.

"My master, Wizard Taylor, is somewhat interested in your performance. I will take you to my master's wizard tower to receive my master's next assessment. If you are lucky enough, you can become my master's apprentice."

A huge surprise suddenly hit McKen's head. He was a little dizzy. Although he didn't know what kind of person Wizard Taylor was, and whether the other party's knowledge was close to what he was interested in, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

"…………OK."

It took McCann a while to come to his senses and agree to Hawkes' request.

Hawkes nodded again, then asked McKen to follow him. He was going to go to the upper floor to find the other two apprentices.

They soon arrived at the fourth floor of the apprentice dormitory. Hawkes' huge figure almost filled the entire corridor of the apprentice dormitory.

Some passing apprentices watched Hawkes' departure with eyes full of fear and awe, and only when Hawkes' figure disappeared did they dare to continue doing their own things.

McCann, who had recovered from his previous surprise, also looked at Hawks with awe, but after a while, he followed Hawks and found some unusual things, such as some runes on Hawks' body, and his non-human body shape, including some other details and magical fluctuations.

Is this person a puppet?

McKen was shocked by his own thoughts, because the other party really had no breath of a living person, not even breathing. According to his observation, every move was just right, just like the fixed length of the posture, the distance of each step was almost the same.

But the other party's tone just now was full of emotion, not like the mechanical response of a puppet.

Young Mikan was confused for a moment. He really didn't understand what was going on. Was the other party a living being? Was the other party a puppet?

As for the direction of construct puppets, McKen has been trying to gain knowledge about elemental puppets during this period. In addition, the points he has on hand have always been in short supply, so he does not have a basic understanding of constructs.

He is the typical type who would try his best to earn points when he needed them, and then continue his research after spending them. He is not like Taylor when he was young, who first worked hard to earn points and then used them all.

According to the information provided by the middle-aged man, Hawks found the room of another girl who had some elven blood.

As usual, after knocking three times with her thick, cold fingers, a girl who looked a little timid and even cowardly slowly opened the door, hid most of her body behind the door, stared at Hawks with her big watery eyes and asked.

"Excuse me, please, what are you doing here? What do you want to talk to me about?"

Looking at the girl who had trouble speaking, Hawkes subconsciously felt a little displeased.

I'm a little timid.

Thinking of the task assigned to him by his master, Hawkes suppressed his displeasure and spoke in the same calm tone as when he had spoken to McKen.

"Is your name Sally?"

The girl answered timidly, like a frightened deer.

"Yes, I am."

During this question and answer period, the door of the next room suddenly opened, and a boy with slightly pointy ears rushed out from the door, holding a disposable witchcraft prop in one hand and a simple little staff in the other hand, pointing it directly at Hawks.

"Who are you? What do you want to do? Where do you want to take my sister?!!"

The visitor was none other than the third apprentice Hawkes was looking for, Kidd, the brother of a girl named Sally.

Facing Kidd's threat, the disposable witchcraft props in his hand, and the simple little staff, Hawks's eyes did not fluctuate. Instead, he directly took out the information of Kidd's apprentice and looked at it to confirm it.

That should be it.

He is an interesting and courageous little fellow who dares to take up arms against me.

Hawkes put away the information in his hand, leaned down, stared into Kidd's eyes with his cold and cruel eyes, and said in a cold voice.

"You are very courageous, and I admire that, but I want to know how far your courage will take you."
