Chapter 35 (2/2)
”My apprentice?”
Dalton suddenly glanced and said sarcastically, ”you probably don't understand. It's not proud at all. Even if some wizards know that you may still be chased, do you understand?”
”I thought you believed in my ability,” Lauren replied with a nonchalant smile.
”Arrogance is never a wizard's proper quality,” Dalton said coldly. ”What's more, you don't have any arrogant capital at all.”
”But one thing is true. You have proved yourself, and more than once.” Dalton was silent for a moment, lifted his black robe and handed a box to Loren. ”So I gave you this thing in advance as a trust in your ability.”
”This is...”
”Your wand.” Dalton suddenly lowered his eyes, as if remembering something. Then he resumed his original expression: ”but I won't allow you to open this box until your mental strength reaches its due level.”
The tutor gives the wand to his apprentice, which is equivalent to a ”graduation gift” in the wizard's world, announcing that a new wizard has joined them.
”Although you have only studied for a few months, the amount of knowledge is far from reaching the standard, but the standard... Is always for mediocre people.” Dalton paused for a moment: ”as for the caster, your new way of deconstructing the spell can give you a place, and only a place, in incantation.”
”As for your task, I will give it to you when your ability is enough - but not now. Before that, your first task is to continue to refine your spiritual power, enhance your understanding of the void and reach the level that a wizard should have.”
”I have a question, mentor.”
Loren, who suddenly spoke, stopped Dalton from leaving: ”if the Holy Cross Church is really ready to completely destroy the college, only father Anthony's death is not enough to do this. Where does the other party's confidence come from? Or do they have full confidence and can grasp the handle of the college?”
”If that's true, doesn't it mean that the leader behind the whole thing is someone from the Holy Cross Church? Or do they know a secret of vimpal College from the beginning, which will make the Duke as long as it is exposed...”
”Don't make a decision before you are fully sure!”
Dalton directly interrupted Loren and looked sideways at Loren. His eyes were much colder than before: ”don't hold malicious speculation, let alone explore the secret that will make you deep in the mire.”
”There are many secrets on our way forward, whether they are our own or others.” Dalton's cold voice is meaningful: ”for example... I never asked what you met in that pagan temple.”
”Because I don't care, I don't care - more importantly, you will never tell the truth. Even between close relatives, there will be secrets that will never be told, not to mention our wizards, a group with countless secrets from the beginning of their birth.”
Lauren's eyes flickered alone in the room, and the corner of his mouth with a little more radian was reflected in the dim light.
My dear mentor Dalton kand, you have directly told me that there is no difference in such a euphemism.
Are you reminding me that all the premises of speculation need practical evidence?
Or are you warning me not to pay any attention to the college?
