Chapter 243

The spacious and bright room is filled with bookshelves for collecting books. The incense scattered in the air seems to have the effect of concentrating and calming, which makes people relaxed and happy.

BELIS, who was standing outside the door, looked a little excited. As an alchemist who had just completed his studies as the chief and became recognized by the nine pointed star wizard tower, he was unavoidably nervous when he received funding from the funder and his first job in life for the first time.

You know, this is the corona family. How many wizards in eboden can have this honor? Of course, it must be taken for granted as the chief himself - with such a little pride and tension, Alchemist BELIS raised his hand and knocked at the door.

"Please come in!"

The voice is very young. It doesn't sound like an old wizard? Bellis was stunned before he pushed the door and entered the study. Behind the desk was a young man who was not much older than him. He raised his eyebrows lazily and looked at him:

"What's the announcement?"

Bellis suddenly lost his tongue - is this self righteous madman the object he will work hard as an experimental assistant for the next three years?

Even though he couldn't believe it, he still stubbornly opened his mouth: "the old housekeeper of the corona family told me that you need an alchemist as an assistant, so I'm here to apply for..."

"Don't talk about this first, isn't it necessarily." the young man was tired of waving his hands, as if he were driving mosquitoes: "tell me first, what did you do before?"

This is... Want to see your work experience first?

The honest alchemist nodded and said, "as an apprentice of the nine awn star wizard tower, I have assisted my tutor to complete 12 experiments, repaired the water supply system in Xicheng District alone, improved two kinds of four-wheel carriages, and participated in the design of a large manor and library tower..."

"That's the end of the nonsense!" he rudely interrupted the other party's words, and the young man's expression became more impatient: "let me say so. What I want to ask is not the 'homework' assigned by the tutor, but what you have completed by yourself!"

Own things? The alchemist's eyes lit up: "I wrote a book!"

"Very good!" the young man looked forward to looking at him. "What's the use?"

"To put it simply, it's a brochure to simplify and teach some complex professional knowledge to ordinary people without even requiring them to read!" the alchemist said excitedly: "this will enable the people to know more or less about us and reduce many misunderstandings about the profession of wizards, especially in areas with more superstitious beliefs!"

"Teach ordinary people the knowledge of witches?" the young man suddenly smiled. "What's your name?"

"BELIS, my name is BELIS, from the civilian area in the south of the city." the alchemist replied nervously: "I firmly believe that sooner or later, the knowledge of wizards will no longer be mysterious, become easy to understand, and even become common sense in ordinary people's life!"

"The knowledge of witches has become common sense..." the young man suddenly became silent: "Your Excellency Bellis, the alchemist, please allow me to ask?"

"When, of course!"

"Have you considered doing something... Really meaningful? For example, inheriting your mentor's mantle and carrying forward the cause of repairing sewer pipes?"

“……”

"You see, I actually care about my experimental assistant. So I also bought one of your 'children's books', two and a half silver coins. As a book, its cheapness is amazing."

The young man threw the book on the table with disdain: "but the price is never the most important - your side references and illustrations. If you hadn't just said it was a book, I would have thought it was some dirty yellow jokes!"

"Only in this way can those ordinary people understand!"

"I'm sorry, but... Can you understand?" the young man almost laughed: "Dear alchemist, your excellency Bellis, the only difference between the ordinary people and the potatoes with water in their heads is that the potatoes think they know, but they really know nothing and live happily in their dreams!"

"Potatoes with water in their heads..."

"This is my mantra." the young man shrugged. "It refers to 99% of wizards... Well, generally speaking, all wizards except me."

“……”

BELIS, a young and simple alchemist who had just stepped into the real society, did something he felt extremely right all his life after a long silence - without hesitation, turned back, fled the room as quickly as possible, and then tried his best to close the door.

"Bang --!"

"Why is this man impolite?"

Isaac looked painfully at the broken teacup on the ground and looked at the slammed door: "I didn't even say goodbye and spilled my mint tea!"

Lauren, who was always sitting in the back, looked at the teacup with regret and couldn't help feeling. The alchemist was such a polite and honest man that he didn't spill hot tea on Isaac's face.

"You've driven away eight assistants, and the experiment hasn't even started yet." the black haired wizard asked tentatively, "when are you going to delay if this continues?"

"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the corona family will continue to find new assistants for me." Isaac shrugged disapprovingly: "if they really want to get the Holy Blood potion, they have to serve me well!"

Suddenly it seemed to understand something, and a clear expression appeared on Lauren's face: "so it is."

"So... What?" Isaac looked at Loren in a daze. "Can you stop looking at me like this? To tell the truth, it's scary."

"You're not going to finish this research, are you?" the dark haired wizard said calmly. "This kind of interview trick is just to delay time."

Isaac looked at him, walked aside as if there were no one else, took a new tea cup, made a cup for himself, sat in the chair, neither spoke nor looked back, just drank tea and took a sip.

Silence

From the time he came to the corona family residence, Loren felt that his friend was different, although he was still as unsophisticated as before, always said the wrong things, and he was too conceited.

But there is always a subtle difference between what he pretends to be and what he is born with - and as his friend and one of the people who know Isaac best, Loren can feel the difference.

Of course, he also knew what happened that day. His plan almost failed, but he succeeded in attracting the attention of the corona family and saving the original situation of near death.

Peter FASA is seriously injured, Vera and Edward are slightly injured, and they have become prisoners of the nine pointed star wizard tower. At the same time, they are also pieces that the corona family can use to threaten themselves, followed by Gavin and Ivan

Dead.

"You know, in fact, I don't know these people at all. I can't even call them by their names - and they never regarded me as a friend. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't treat me differently from those who want to kill me."

Isaac, who turned his back to Loren, suddenly opened his mouth and muttered as if he were talking about trivial things and chatting: "that's what's going on, isn't it? They just want to use me. In fact, it doesn't matter... Anyway, as long as they can give me a quiet enough place to study what I like, anyone can change it.

Mentor Dalton kand once taught us that the best moral character of a wizard is not to easily expose his emotions and maintain absolute calm and reason - I think he is right, so I am very careful to choose people who can expose my emotions.

You, and Ayn Rand, only you. Even if others hear about the death of mentor Dalton, I won't shed a tear for him, because that's what he wants. That's what a wizard should have.

I think this is very correct, and I believe I can do it, because I am Isaac, not those potatoes with water in my head!

But when I saw those two people... Gavin, and Ivan, when I saw them die for me, I was scared, scared to death! And after fear... There was endless anger.

It's ridiculous, isn't it? They're no different from those who want to kill me. They just want to use me! But why am I angry because of their death?

Therefore, this is the only absurd request in my life. It will never happen again next time. I will never say such a ridiculous and stupid joke again. Save you and ain laughing at me again! "

Muttering and trembling, Isaac Grantham looked back with tears on his face, biting his teeth and looking ferocious like a man eating beast:

"Lauren, avenge them for me --!"
