Chapter 69 (2/2)

”If someone wants to go out and die, I will never object.” Dalton looked coldly at the opening Wizard: ”but remember, the safety of the college comes first, and there are dozens of young apprentices in the castle who are unarmed!”

”I know how dangerous it is, but it's as dangerous to watch the villages and towns end!” the wizard also argued: ”the church will not let us go after it knows!”

”It's only possible, and we can resist.” Dalton still didn't let go. ”But now if you go out, you'll step into the enemy's trap and die.”

”You...” the wizard just wanted to continue to refute. Another figure with a sword on his back walked past him, shrugged his shoulders and stopped in front of Dalton.

”Let me go, mentor.” Loren smiled indifferently and looked at the black wizard. ”Anyway, I'm not an apprentice at vimpal college. You won't worry about my life or death. You can also ease such an embarrassing atmosphere - you see, you can give me two at once!”

Dalton was not amused by him, and the atmosphere was even more embarrassing.

”You are the apprentice of the college, Loren.” Peter's voice came from behind. The old man's wrinkled palm pressed Loren's shoulder: ”and I won't let the apprentice sacrifice for me.”

”Dalton, please follow me. We'll help the guards in the village.” he pushed the lens on the bridge of his nose. Peter's flat tone was no different from that in the past: ”the rest, please stay in the castle with the old apprentices and protect our school.”

Several wizards looked at each other, finally nodded slightly and accepted Peter's arrangement. After all, this is still the dean of vimpal college. Even in his old age, he is one of the few excellent wizards in the whole Duke.

Only Dalton obviously couldn't accept such an arrangement. Before Peter left, he grabbed his sleeve: ”you really can't see that this is the other party's trap?!”

”Of course I know, Dalton.” Peter sighed. ”Your biggest problem is that you are difficult to trust others. This is a good opportunity. Why can't you try to trust other wizards and your apprentices?”

”He's not my apprentice!” the black wizard raised his eyebrows and strongly refused.

”But he is! You taught him yourself and gave him the 'caster' - according to the rules of witches since ancient times, giving a magic wand is the teacher's recognition of an apprentice. He is already a qualified wizard!” Peter shook his head regretfully: ”one day, you will regret what you said today.”

”Never!”

”I've had enough of your stubbornness.” the old man sighed and waved to Lauren who was still standing aside. Loren, with his mouth slightly cocked up, hurried forward, looking at a loss.

”Listen, Loren Turin, I don't see you as an apprentice, but as a wizard, asking you to protect vimpal college.” the old man's tone was full of unquestionable power: ”stay in the main castle. Once the wall is broken, you will be the last line of defense. If there are too many enemies...”

Speaking of this, the old man's tone was trembling. He even looked around in panic and lowered his voice: ”then you will escape with Isaac and Ayn. There is a path behind the main castle to the top of the mountain. You can escape as far as you can. Leave here forever!”

Escape? It was the first time Loren had seen such a gloomy look in the old man's eyes, which was really inconsistent with the image in his memory. So I had to ask tentatively, ”but those people don't want to...”

”If they really want it, give it to them! If Mr. callan really has the ability.” Peter shook his head. ”Those who are swallowed up by ambition will never know what they are facing.”

Lauren nodded almost subconsciously, and the old man who straightened his back relaxed and whispered to himself, as if to Lauren and Dalton:

”Vimpal college is my lifelong dream. But since it's a dream, there will be a day to wake up. There's nothing terrible!”
