Novan VII was very reluctant to leave......

After about two weeks of secret observation and communication in daily life, the cautious King realized that Taylor was not the kind of person who was petty, picky, or had any weird habits. He was just a normal young and talented wizard.

The king wanted to make friends with the young wizard, but the apprentices worked too efficiently. It took a week to find reserve apprentices, and another week to rush to the capital from the cities in various directions.

His Majesty the King, who had just gotten to know the wizard and was about to have more conversation with him, helplessly discovered that it was time for the wizard to leave them.

What a pity……

This was the umpteenth time that the king had silently lamented in his heart.

Although he felt regretful, the king was actually relieved in his heart. At least after the wizard left, he wouldn't have to live such a miserable and cautious life.

Wearing his crown, robe, scepter and ring, the king, accompanied by his maids, guards and all the ministers of the kingdom, staged a grand ceremony to see off the wizards and apprentice reserve soldiers.

Under the king's respectful gaze, Taylor brought this bunch of little kids onto the spaceship made of special wood. Standing on the deck of the spaceship, Taylor nodded to the king in a friendly manner, then turned around and entered the spaceship.

Under his deliberate control, the spacecraft moved very slowly at the start. He wanted these young children to see more of their hometown. If nothing unexpected happened, it would be unlikely for these children to return to their hometown in the future.

A large group of children around nine to ten years old clung to the deck of the spacecraft, looking reluctantly at their hometown which was covered with ice and snow all year round. The children, who were born with higher mental strength than ordinary people and had received education, understood that they might never be able to see the snowy scenery of their hometown again.

The deck was soon filled with sobs and dull cries. The children huddled together, their hearts filled with fear and anxiety about the future. This situation might not ease until two or three days later.

Even the children of nobles who have received elite and higher education, and even children of the royal family, are now full of anxiety. Facing an unknown future, they are now standing on the same starting line with the children of farmers, merchants, and laborers.

"Oh, hohoho~~~~ Let me see who is crying secretly. The future apprentices cannot be taken care of by a group of crybaby little brats."

A metal man in a white robe suddenly appeared at the back of the deck and walked out. His delicate metal face reflected a slightly obscene expression.

Since neither Taylor nor Kano wanted to hear the crying of these children, they sent Bobby, who was entrusted with some of Taylor's kindness and was more approachable, to comfort these children.

The children were very scared when they saw this strange-looking metal man. They all crowded at the bow, with their black little heads huddled together.

What a hassle.

Bobby was speechless, his delicate metal fingers slowly stroking the delicate metal chin. He took out a recliner from somewhere and spread it out. After lying down on it, Bobby chose to use the fishing method to wait for these children to take the initiative to contact him.

Perhaps because of the presence of the strange metal men, or perhaps because they were afraid that the metal men would eat them all, Bobby's presence made the children stop sobbing and crying.

They looked at Bobby lying on the recliner carefully, without saying a word and not daring to move.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. If I really wanted to kill you or eat you or do something weird, I would have done it a long time ago."

"We are white wizards, the friendliest and most peaceful group of wizards..."

Bobby, lying on a recliner, used the laziest and weakest words to persuade these frightened reserve apprentices. His voice was not loud, but it could be heard by all the children.

"It would be a mistake to let this guy comfort those kids, Taylor. I think you should just let me go. I will train them to be the best tools for us."

Huh? Taylor stared at the owner of the voice with empty eyes. Kano was looking at the lazy Bobby with indignation.

This is simply a waste of resources. These children have the ability to become wizards and can be trained to develop weapons that best suit them. If they are trained well, they may be able to become first-level wizards.

Every first-level wizard is a valuable strategic resource and knowledge resource.

"Kano, I don't know what you are thinking. Do you dare to make a move against the future of the White Tower Alliance? Believe it or not, as soon as you make a move, we will be beaten to pieces without leaving any residue."

Taylor rejected Cano's proposal without hesitation.

There is no need to make yourself uncomfortable if you are staying well in the White Tower Alliance. Don't underestimate the White Wizard. Even if Kano's actions are small, there is a possibility of being discovered.

“I’m not saying that we should attack them right now. I just want to communicate with them more and leave our impression. Then we will say hello to the old man in the Apprentice Library.

Let this old man mark out some potential talents and introduce them to us. Soon we will be able to recruit those talents as our own apprentices."

"As long as these apprentices with potential apply to work for us, are we still afraid that we can't control them? Even a wizard apprentice is a talent with strong comprehensive abilities. Such comprehensive talents are most suitable to become the most handy tools in our hands."

Even so, Taylor still rejected Kano's proposal. He said calmly.

"Kano, your idea is good, but you forgot one thing. It will take a long time for these apprentices to be transformed into practical talents."

"As long as we master the method of making construct puppets, and add the method that my teacher taught me to open the puppet's wisdom, as long as we have enough resources, we can definitely create our own most trusted confidant, just like my teacher's butler."

That’s right…

Taylor's words suddenly awakened Kano. Yes, they now have the ability to create their own puppet constructs and open up their intelligence.

After the intelligence is activated, the puppet construct is almost the same as a normal intelligent life form and is even more powerful. Even if it is not comprehensive enough, having more of them can still handle most situations.

It’s just a pity that he is not a wizard after all, and his comprehensiveness is far behind.

"You're right. I was indeed not thoughtful this time. As soon as I saw these reserve apprentices, I couldn't help but have other thoughts."

Kano decisively admitted his mistake. After admitting his mistake, he spoke.

"In that case, after we make the construct puppets, give me a few first. I need these powerful fighters. When we go to other worlds in the future, we can let those natives become our tools. It will be their honor..."

"Okay, whatever."

Seeing that Kano gave up his little thoughts, Taylor's originally cold expression eased a little. Suddenly, Taylor's tongue stiffened and the golden vertical pupils in his eyes shrank suddenly.

His tongue sensed unfamiliar pheromones and elemental fluctuations, and the feedback indicated that a strange first-level life form was nearby.

An uninvited guest has arrived! Taylor never expected that he had not encountered such a terrible thing as ship hijacking during his apprenticeship, but encountered it when he became an escort.

Bad luck!
