Chapter 243

The spacious and bright room is full of bookshelves with books. The incense floating in the air seems to have the effect of calming and calming, which is relaxed and joyful.

Bellis, who stood outside the door, looked a little excited. As an alchemist who had just completed his studies as the chief and became an alchemist recognized by the nine-pointed star wizard tower, he was the first time he received funding and life from a funder. In his first job, it is inevitable to be a little nervous.

Know that this is the Corona family, how many wizards in Eboden can have this honor? Of course, as the chief, it must be as it should be by rights-with such a little pride and tension, the alchemist Bellis raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!"

The voice is very young, doesn't it look like an elderly wizard? Bellis was shocked before pushing the door into the study. Behind the desk was sitting a youngster who was not much older than him. He raised his eyebrows lazily and looked towards him:

"What's the start? "

Bellis suddenly became speechless--this believe oneself infallible lunatic is the one he will be working hard for as an experimental assistant in the next three years?

Even if he couldn't believe it, he still brace oneself said: "The old steward of the Corona family told me that you need an alchemist as an assistant, so I'm here to apply..."

"Don't talk about it for now, is it not always possible." The youngster waved his hand tiredly, as if to drive a mosquito: "Tell me first, what did you do before?"

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

The honest alchemist, nodded, opened the mouth and said: "As an apprentice of the nine-pointed star wizard tower, I once assisted the instructor to complete twelve experiments and repaired the Qingshui in Xicheng District alone. Supply system, and improved two types of four-wheel carriages, and once participated in the design of a large manor and a book tower..."

"The nonsense ends here!" Rudely interrupted the other party's words , Youngster's expression became even more impatient: "Let me put it this way, what I want to ask is not the'homework' assigned by those instructors, but the things you completed yourself!"

Your own things? The alchemist’s eyes lit up: "I wrote a book!"

"Very good!" Youngster looked forward to him: "What is it for?"

"Simple In other words, it is just a brochure that simplifies and teaches some complex professional knowledge to ordinary persons without even requiring them to be literate!" The alchemist said excitedly: "This will allow the public to understand something about us. Reduce a lot of misunderstandings about the wizard business, especially in areas that are... more superstitious!"

"Teach wizard knowledge to an ordinary person?" The youngster suddenly smiled, "What's your name?"

"Bayliss, my name is Bayliss, I am from a 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, and it will become simple and easy. Understand, even become common sense in the life of an ordinary person!"

"The knowledge of the wizard becomes common sense..." The youngster suddenly fell silent: "Your Excellency Alchemist Bellis, please allow me to take the liberty to ask "

"Yes, of course!"

"Have you considered doing something...real meaningful things? For example, inheriting your mentor Legacy, who will repair the sewer Promote your career?"

"..."

"Look, I actually care about my laboratory assistant. So I also bought a copy of your "children's book" Ah, two and a half Silver Coins. As a book, its cheapness is amazing."

Youngster threw the book on the table dismissively: "But the price is never the most important thing. Yes-your quotations and illustrations are also included. If it weren't for you just said that this is the book, I would have thought it was some kind of dirty pornography!"

"That’s the only thing. Only those ordinary persons can understand!"

"Sorry, but... understand?" The youngster almost laughed out: "Dear alchemist Bellis, what do you mean? The only difference between the general public and the potatoes with water in their heads is that the potatoes think they know, but they really don’t know anything and live happily in their dreams!"

Potatoes..."

"This is my catchphrase." Youngster shrugged: "Used to refer to ninety-nine percent of the wizards... Well, generally speaking is all wizards except me. They."

"..."

Young and simple, just stepping into the present Belis, the alchemist of the real society, did something he had felt extremely right in his entire life after a long silence—turning his head without the slightest hesitation, escaping the room as quickly as possible, and then fighting. Do your best to close the door.

"Bang--!"

"Why is this person rude?"

Isaac looked at the broken tea cup on the ground with distress, very puzzled He looked at the door that was shut shut: "I didn't even say goodbye, and spilled my mint tea!" Loren, who was always sitting at the back, looked at the teacup regretfully. , Couldn't help feeling sighed. The alchemist was such a polite and honest man, he didn't pour hot tea on Isaac's face.

"You have driven away eight assistants, and the experiment has not even started yet." The black hair wizard tentatively asked: "If this continues, when are you going to delay it?"

"It doesn't matter, the Corona family will continue to find new assistants for me anyway." Isaac shrugged disapprovingly: "If they really want to get the Holy Blood Elixir, they have to take me Just wait for it!"

Suddenly, it seemed that he had understood something, and there was a clear expression on Loren’s face: "It turns out to be like this."

"It turned out to be ...What?" Isaac stared at Loren blankly: "Could you not look at me with the eyes of experimental animals? To be honest, it's scary."

"You actually don't plan to complete this. I studied it, right?" The black hair wizard calmly opened the mouth and said: "This kind of interview trick is just to delay time."

Isaac glanced at him, and walked over without anyone else. I took a new teacup and made a cup for myself. I sat in a chair without talking or turning my head. I just drank the tea like that and took a sip.

Silence...

From the time he came to the Corona family mansion, Loren felt that his friend was different, although he was still the same as before. It was a wrong statement, and it was too arrogant to add to it.

But there is always a subtle difference between what is pretended and what is born with him-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 it succeeded in attracting the attention of the Corona family and saving the original nine deaths and still alive situation.

Peter Fasa was seriously injured, Vera and Edward were slightly injured, and both became prisoners of the nine-pointed star wizard tower. They are also pawns that the Corona family can use to blackmail themselves, and then Jarvan and Ivan...

Dead.

"You know, in fact, I don’t know these people at all. I can’t even call their names—and they never regard me as a friend. If it’s not for you, they treat me. It won’t be any different from those who you think you can kill me."

Isaac, with his back to Loren, spoke suddenly, muttering like something trivial, chatting: "That's the thing, right? They just want to use me, but it doesn't matter... Anyway, as long as you can give me a quiet enough place to study what I like, you can replace it with anyone.

Mentor Dalton Kander once taught us that the best character of a wizard is not to easily expose his emotions, to maintain absolute calm and rationality-I think what he said is right, so I am very careful to choose to make myself The person who exposes emotions.

You, and Ain Rand, only you. Even if other people hear the death of Teacher Dalton, I will not shed a tear for him, because this is what he wants , So... is the character that a wizard should have.

I think this is correct, and I believe I can do it, because I’m Isaac, not a bunch of potatoes with water in my head!

But when I saw those two people...Garvin and Ivan, when I saw them die for me, I was scared, scared to die! And after being scared... it was endless Anger.

It’s ridiculous, right? They are no different from those who you think you can kill me, they just want to use me! But why am I angry because of their death?

So, this is the only ridiculous request in my life. I will never make it again next time. I will never tell such ridiculous and stupid jokes again. Save you and Ain. Me!"

Isaac Grantham, who was trembling and looking back, was full of tears, gritted his teeth, and looked like a wild beast who wanted to eat people.

"Loren, help them get revenge for me——!"
