Chapter 12
"Are you Loren ·Torino, the new apprentice that Teacher Dalton said?"
The youngster standing in front of Loren asked in a very decisive tone. With his as it should be by rights expression, he stretched out his right hand: "Isaac · Grantham, according to the instructions of the Dalton mentor, let me take you where you should go."
"Then many Thanks, Isaac Grantham." Loren smiled and stretched out his hand to hold it, but the other party directly took it back.
"Don’t be so fast. According to the usual social etiquette, we should shake hands after we have spoken." Youngster turned his head sideways and opened the mouth and said: "And it’s the first time we meet, you should Call me Grantham, or Mr. Grantham."
"Uh...well, Grantham..."
"But considering that we will be apprentices to a mentor from now on, And I will stay together for several years, so you can call me Isaac right now-but I am ahead of you, so you can also add the title of'Senior' if you want."
" Okay, Isaac learn..." Before Loren could finish speaking, the youngster grabbed his right hand and shook it hard.
"Very good, the socialization is over." The youngster moved towards the stairs without looking back: "Wasting time is a waste of life, life is short, so we should do it quickly, quickly Keep up a little bit and don’t fall behind, Loren Junior Brother!"
Even Loren, who thinks he is quite patient, couldn’t help rolling the eyes, shrugging his shoulders and quickly following behind this young wizard. Followed up the stairs of the tower.
"You may already know something about this Academy, but let me introduce it to you—the Wimpal Academy consists of four towers, a main fort, and two courtyards. We are located in the north The tower belongs to Mentor Dalton Kander. The 2-Layer and the third floor are his bedroom and study. Our dormitory is on the fourth layer. The 5-Layer is the laboratory and library."
"The front courtyard of the Academy is Activities and rest areas, the back courtyard is a plantation for cultivating a small amount of rare plants; the Academy’s library, kitchen, and auditorium are in the main castle, but most of the time you don’t need to go there.
"Also if you are a devout believer, the prayer room is also there. And I can guarantee that it is quiet, because the overwhelming majority wizards are not very religious. "
"Most of the time we only need to stay in this tower to complete most of the cultivation-herbalism, alchemy, ancient rune, mysticism, spell studies, astrology , History..."
Just a few flights of stairs, this young wizard named Isaac is like a living dictionary and talks endlessly, and there is a tone from beginning to end, letting you walk behind Loren from start to finish keeps the awkward smile when going up the stairs.
"Very well, this is your dormitory. Isaac opened the door of the room as he muttered endlessly: "There is an apprentice robe on the bed that can be changed and worn. The bed sheets are a bit old but can be used. Is there any problem? "
"...Uh, there is only one. "Seeing that the other party finally stopped, Loren corner of the mouth twitched: "How many apprentices does Mentor Dalton have in total?" "
"Three, this also counts you—the Dalton tutor’s criteria for selecting apprentices is extremely strict. Those ordinary people, at best, are Potion Masters or liars who give fortune-telling. Isaac proudly picked up his chin: "So now that we have talked about this, can I ask which subject you are going to take?" "
"As someone who comes here, I recommend you to practice mysticism. This is a profound subject that involves the formation of the relationship between the void and the material world. It requires a very good innate talent and the ability to abandon common sense. And some people with insufficient talents can only learn alchemy and accept the tragic fate of becoming an alchemist. "
"Isaac Grantham, what do you bastard say? ! "
Loren corner of the mouth raised, his eyes turned to the place where the angry roar came from-although he has not seen anyone yet, he has already guessed who is coming.
"Just ignore this guy, Loren. "Panting with rage's Ain flushed cheeks, gasping for breath, holding his shoulders in both hands: "He is a lunatic!" "
"Ain Rand, Teacher Dalton specially reminded that loud noises are not allowed in the tower. "Looking at the little wizard walking up the stairs, Isaac said, "And... why are you scolding me?" "
"Oh, isn't it? "Ain didn't get angry and smiled: "Who just said that being an alchemist was a tragic fate?" ! "
"But it was only because of your lack of aptitude and intelligence that you had to choose to become an alchemist. "The young wizard said with an innocent look: "I didn't say you are stupid!" "
The little wizard simply pointed his right hand to the stairs: "get lost!"
"If you say'goodbye', you will appear polite! "Before I finished speaking, Isaac rushed to the lower level, avoiding the "suspicious objects" flying overhead.
"It's beautiful! "Looking at the parabola flying in front of him, Loren said jokingly, "I don't know yet, you have such a hand." "
Ain's face became ashamed all of a sudden, he stubbornly, as if regretting the look just now: "I, I don't usually do this, it's all because of the bastard Isaac ...It's so irritating! "
"Does he usually do this?" "
"That's right, this guy is a lunatic, arrogant, likes to show off, and even narcissistic to the point where it can't be added! "The little wizard agreed with nodded forcefully: "But he is indeed a genius, although he is particularly annoying! "
It doesn’t seem like an easy person to get along with, Loren couldn’t help but said from the bottom of his heart. In his previous life, he had been in contact with creatures like Xueba, most of whom were immersed in their own world within the realm. Don’t extricate yourself, take innate talent and comprehension ability as it should be by rights, but it is really the first one to be so strange.
Just as Loren was about to make a joke, he found Ain’s face. The embarrassed expression on Shang Shang still did not fade, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated to say something: "What's the matter, is it inconvenient to speak?" "
"Teacher Dalton, he..." The little wizard just spoke, but immediately stopped, hesitating for a moment: "I didn't expect him to do this kind of thing!" "
The purpose of inviting Loren to Wimpal Academy is to let this wandering Knight stop living a precarious life and worry about life threatening. But now Dalton instructor actually uses this condition to do it. Exchange, then what is the difference between Loren and the past?!
No...maybe it will be more dangerous. The wandering Knights have to deal with most of the robbers and bandits in the forest. Now Loren may have to face his unheard-of monster, curse, and even a place as dangerous as that heretic temple!
"This has nothing to do with Dalton Kander. "Loren shook the head: "This is my own choice, and I think it's very fair and there is no problem. "
"But...this is too dangerous! "The little wizard is still worried: "You have only experienced it once, and it is not clear how terrible things you have to face!" "
With a long sigh, Loren walked into his room and looked towards the wilderness outside through the window: "Do you know what is the scariest thing?" The answer is simple, knowing nothing is the most terrifying! ”
I’m so unfamiliar with this world, even if I have survived for nearly three years, when I face Asriel for the first time in that cellar, the sense of horror is the real like falling in a ice hole!
This world, which looks no different from the ancient Middle Ages in the previous life, has too many terrifying hidden, and you can kill your own things with no difficulty.
Absolutely Do not expose his thoughts easily, think and analyze rationally, and choose the least bad plan... This is Loren's consistent style of doing things, but on that day he first noticed that in front of those powers, there was nothing at all. There is room for choice, and I can’t even overcome the fear in my heart.
“So, this is my own decision. I definitely don’t want to live without knowing anything in this world, even if I have to pay the price. , Even if it will die, I have to figure out why. "
Loren walked to his bed, picked up a copy of "Step into Meditation" on his wizard robe, and handed it to the little wizard.
"Yes. Teach me? "
