Chapter 31
Peter smiled and looked towards the apprentice who bowed to himself. His gestures revealed a respectful gesture, but this was only an objective description.
But actually... those obsidian eyes hidden under the mess of hair are far more profound than the look he made, and they completely hide his feelings and heart. As innocent as if he was just an ordinary apprentice.
Peter still remembers how he was in Dalton’s study. The first time he met Loren, he looked like an adult when he was talking. He could clearly recognize his position and still be in Dalton. There is no wind in front of him, that is neither humble nor humble, but humble and polite. It is impossible to imagine that he was just an attendant before.
"We met once before, maybe you don't remember."
"It was my honor." Loren answered with a smile, and then quickly recalled Any scene where this old man might appear, but it doesn't seem to be, and there is still a somewhat frightened smile on his face.
"The day you first came to Wimpal, I was in Dalton's room." Peter kindly opened the mouth and said: "I have to admit that I am really curious about you. "
So the dean was in that room that day? It turned out to be like this... So the reason why at first didn't let me in was to discuss what to do with myself?
This is not surprising to him. Obviously Dalton is very authoritative in this Academy, but if you want to accept a stranger like himself, becoming an apprentice of the Academy is probably beyond his right. Without the approval of the dean, I am afraid that he would not even see himself.
"Don't be too restrictive, I'm a very casual person." As he sat down with a smile, Peter said in an unquestionable tone. A simple Hovering Spell also "pressed" Loren on the chair: "Sorry, it took so long to actually meet you, and it's still at this time."
" You are so polite, I..."
"No, I am very serious. I agree with Dalton's arrangement, but it does not mean that I will ignore your contribution." The old man sighed, with With a slightly helpless tone, he said: "You are just an apprentice, but we have made you bear too much burden, whether it is Wild Dog Village or Ancient Wood Town."
What is the plan of the dean? Say something? Trying to figure out the cues in the other party's sentence, Loren is somewhat confused. But judging from the other's tone, it seems that he wants to win his trust.
"Also, it was my decision to hand you over to Dalton-a very selfish decision, because from the bottom of my heart, I don’t want an outsider to break the existing peace and order of the Academy, even if you I have done a lot for the Academy." Peter said with a little regret: "I don't want you to hate Academy for this."
"You are completely worried, Master Dean." Loren Also try to let the other person relax, blink and smile: "It is an honour to be an apprentice of Dalton's mentor. And I also know my position very well. I will make an all-out effort and complete what the Academy has given me. All tasks."
Peter sighed slightly. The more Loren showed his carelessness, the more he could notice that the other party was deliberately perfunctory, so that Peter felt that he was facing Another completely different Dalton · Kander.
"You seem to have encountered a problem." Peter still turned the subject away: "Let me guess, what on this blackboard should be from Isaac Grantham's handwriting?"
Loren slightly nodded, giving the position to the old man: "We are going to design a weapon similar to a wand, but after inspection, we found that..."
"This thing greatly exceeds yours The old man blinked his eyes: "Isaac is indeed an extraordinary natural talent. His ability to deduce this step is enough to prove his aptitude."
"What you need is just some tips, but also There is guidance." Without knowing it, Peter added two pens on the blackboard: "I hope you won’t think that my old bastard is nosy, because this idea is really interesting, I really can’t help but want to read it. See what the final result is!"
"Also, don’t tell Isaac about this. The child is too conceited. If you let him know that I helped, it will definitely cause him. It's a big shock." Peter blinked at Loren: "This is the secret between the two of us, what do you think?"
"Of course." Loren understood nodded: " I’ll tell him that this was done before he left yesterday, but he didn’t notice it."
As far as Isaac’s degree of believe oneself infallible is, he will definitely not doubt it, I’m afraid it will be regarded as as it should be by rights thing.
"But speaking of Isaac, he was actually the first to take the initiative to go to Wimpal Academy to become an apprentice of the wizard." The old man’s eyes showed traces of memories. "He was from a village south of the Academy. When I came to the Academy, I was already penniless."
"His parents are farmers, and they are also very pious believers of the Holy Cross. More importantly, he has no money at all. Money supports his studies." The old man smiled suddenly: "But Dalton gave him a chance to work part-time as a library administrator and spend a month memorizing all the books in the library."
"It turned out to be like this..." Loren looked thoughtful of nodded: "I guess he didn't spend a month at all, did he?"
"He only used it for three days. He was still there two days ago. Literacy. Then Dalton and I realized that maybe Wimpal’s highest achievement in the future is the highest achievement Isaac Grantham can achieve."
"In order to protect him, I did not hand him over to any other mentor. , But let Dalton be responsible, so that Isaac can be separated from other apprentices, and will not be criticized or disturbed."
This can be understood more or less—this era and my own past The world is different, and birth often determines everything. Even Isaac himself, he has never talked about his family, which is enough to explain the problem.
But Loren discovered another thing. Whether he or Isaac, he had to become Dalton’s apprentice for some special reason. What is the reason for that little wizard Ain Rand? ?
Loren feels more and more curious.
"Whether it is you, Isaac or Ain, you have some secrets that cannot be known, but these things should not be your burden." Peter pushed his ridiculous single Eyes: "The more lonely you are, the more you should trust your friends rather than beware of them. Try and see, you will not be disappointed."
"many thanks for your teachings "Loren" solemnly lowered his head: "I will never forget."
"I hope you can really find a friend you can absolutely trust." The old man smiled and prepared to get up and leave, but suddenly stopped. "Ah...I heard that you are trying to study mysticism and the void, right?"
"Just a little curious." Loren slightly smiled: "All I have seen so far about the void None of the contents have described its existence in detail, so it is inevitable that there will be some doubts."
"No one can really understand it, and you can't'understand' it." Peter suddenly said Meaningful words: "Void is never a simple existence that can be described, and it is even more impossible to be explained."
Can't "understand", let alone be explained? The old man's words made Loren looked thoughtful. I have also mentioned some things I have seen before that the void "exists because it does not exist", which seems to imply something.
Is it reminding yourself that the void is not a real existence with a shape that can be described, but a completely abstract concept?
After came back to his senses, the old man had already left. After a moment of silence, he seemed to understand why the other party had to meet him.
Loren couldn't help laughing, somewhat disdainful.
Wholeheartedly believe in others, to believe in another individual who cannot be fully assured of oneself, and believe that when the other party considers problems, they will regard themselves as the first instead of themselves, and under absolutely favorable conditions , Won't betray yourself?
Um...That's against human nature, isn't it?
