This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 26 The Pretender

[Your student Carly reveres you, reverence value +20]

A system message pops up.

Lucian rubbed Carly's little head, ruffling her hair slightly.

"Let's go, your mission is not yet completed." Lucian patted Carly's shoulder, signaling her to continue the mission.

……

"Teacher Lucian." After paying fifty blood crow beaks, Kali handed over two magic stones as the mission reward to Lucian. After all, Kali did not forget that these equipments on her were sold to her by Teacher Lucian.

Lucian looked at the two magic stones in Carly's hand, thought for a moment, then reached out and picked up one of them.

“Teacher…” Carly looked at Lucian and wanted to hand him the remaining magic stone.

"Remember the rest, and pay half of it back each time." Lucian held Carly's hand. After all, Carly also needed to study witchcraft models and the like. Instead of taking one or two magic stones from her, it would be better to think of other ways to earn magic stones.

However, before thinking of a way to earn magic stones, Lucian still needed to deal with some guys who were secretly watching him, or at least divert their naked gazes away from him.

“Hehe… According to some people’s speculation, they might think that I only have a few days left?” Thinking of this, a murderous intent flashed in Lucian’s eyes.

"Mentor Lucian?" Carly, who was standing by, noticed the change in Lucian's expression and asked hesitantly.

"It's okay, just some minor problems." Lucian said gently to comfort her.

Carly bit her lips gently. She suddenly thought of what Yellen had said to her, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Master Lucian, your injury..." Carly looked at Lucian.

"It's okay." Lucian waved his hand gently, signaling Carly not to talk about this topic anymore.

Carly slowly lowered her head, but her hand holding the bow and arrow was held a little tightly.

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Lucian looked at Carly's nervous look and couldn't help but comfort her.

Carly raised her head, but she was a little worried that Mentor Lucian was just trying to comfort her. She hesitated for a long time, not knowing what to say.

"If you have time to think about it, you might as well study hard." Lucian slapped Carly's head in annoyance. "Have you figured out the principle of the multiple rockets? Have you completed your daily exercises today? Have you finished the exercises in the basic model construction chapter of "The Wizard's Little Champion"? "

"No, Master Lucian, I was wrong." Carly covered her head, especially when she heard "wizard champion", her face twitched several times. But for some reason, listening to Master Lucian's three soul-searching questions at this time, she felt a lot more relaxed.

“Then go quickly!” Lucian said with a fierce look on his face.

"Yes! Goodbye, Master Lucian." Carly raised her head and slipped away in a panic.

"Just a little kid." Lucian looked at Carly's back as she ran away, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

“Hmm?” But soon, Lucian’s expression changed slightly. He calmly glanced at the few inconspicuous little flying insects beside him, and then returned to his residence as if nothing had happened.

“It seems that someone can’t hold back any longer.” Lucian sneered in his heart.

After switching to the Gray Bone Meditation Method·Revised II, the purity of his mental power has been greatly improved, making him more perceptive.

He had just sensed a faint fluctuation of mental power from those small flying insects.

Obviously, these small flying insects are the "eyes" of a wizard apprentice. "Hmph..." After walking a long distance, Lucian seemed to be "awakened" and swept his mental power, crushing the flying insects attached with mental power into powder.

"From the looks of it, it should be a powerful second-level wizard apprentice." After crushing the small flying insects, Lucian silently felt the weak layer of mental power attached to their body surface and came to a rough conclusion.

“That’s good. If he jumps out by himself, I won’t have to look for a target myself.” Lucian exhaled slowly, his eyes becoming somewhat deep.

In the next few days, there was a kind of quietness before the storm.

Lucian simply didn't bother to pay attention to the eyes that were secretly watching him. He just gave instructions to Carly every day, and his life was quite easy.

"Master Lucian, I did it!" In the laboratory, Carly gently pulled the bow, and the two arrows on the bow were successfully enchanted by her at the same time.

"Not bad." Lucian praised with a smile. "We'll find another mission to test you on next time."

"Yeah." Carly nodded excitedly.

"Then we'll stop here first, and you should go back and rest early." Lucian looked at the time and signaled to Carly that she could leave.

Carly put away her bow and arrow, bowed slightly, and then trotted out of Lucian's laboratory.

The nights at Graybone Academy were always quiet, and Carly had long been accustomed to the quiet atmosphere at night.

However, she had just walked a short distance when she saw two figures on the side of the road not far away.

Carly slowed down her pace, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

And when she got closer, Carly's vigilance reached its highest level.

Because she knew one of the two people here, and that was Yellen, with whom she had had a conflict before.

At this moment, the other party was staring at him, and the smile on his face seemed a little cold and fake.

Carly gripped her hunting bow tightly and slowly backed away.

"Carly, I came here today with Lord Apollo to see you." Yellen looked at Carly and smiled. "This is a good thing, a very good thing."

Carly took out two arrows from the quiver and began to silently build a witchcraft model in her mind.

"This Lord Apollo is a level two peak apprentice. He is only two spirit runes away from breaking through to a level three wizard apprentice." Yellen flattered while keeping his eyes on Carly.

When he saw the bow and arrow in Carly's hand, he felt more or less disdainful.

After all, in Yellen's view, bows and arrows are just weapons for ordinary people. Not to mention wizards, even some strong knights are not afraid of the threat of such weapons.

"I need an experimental assistant." Apollo, who had been silent, finally spoke. He looked at Carly with a satisfied look in his eyes. "I need you to cooperate with me in an experiment. As long as you agree, I am willing to accept you as my student."

Although she is only a first-level wizard apprentice, her mental strength seems to be quite condensed. If I use her as my experimental material, the success rate of my experiments may be improved.

If she cooperated obediently, after the experiment was successful, I should be able to be promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice. At that time, why not give her the title of apprentice?
What's more, this is the best opportunity to test Lucian.

Apollo looked towards Lucian's residence not far away, with a hint of greed in his eyes.
