Chapter 11 - Decision (on)
Thirty years ago, a wizard named Peter got the castle from the Duke, and built the Wimpar College from it. This is all the information that Loren got from the mouth of the little wizard.
But the Duke would definitely not give the castle to a wizard in vain, even if it is a ruined fortress that has been ruined, it must be paid something, or some heavy price.
“And the price is that Wimpar College must be responsible for the entire duke, everything related to magic, free of charge.” Dalton said indifferently: “mutated monsters, pagan temples, foreign wizards … very extensive. “
“We gave the apprentices what seemed to be no dangerous work, but the manpower was still not enough. The formal wizard could not often leave the laboratory or study to interrupt the research to solve the problem of malaria in the village and the majority of villagers. Wizards are not good at fighting, and they are no different from monsters and ordinary people. “
“But you are different, Lord Loren Turin.” The black robe wizard pointed his finger at the long sword behind Loren: “You are a wandering knight, trained, and also have combat experience. When facing monsters You wo n’t be in a hurry, and if something happens, you will react more quickly than the apprentices. “
“This is my suggestion. We can accept you as an apprentice at Wimpar College and we will assign you a tutor to teach you all the knowledge a wizard should learn-at the cost of you Service, solve everything we need you to solve, how do you intend? “
The black robe wizard put his hands behind his back, waiting for Loren’s reply.
But in Loren’s opinion, the other party is waiting for their consent or disagreement-there is no third way to choose, and there is really nothing to pick and choose.
“I agree.”
After thinking in an instant, Loren agreed immediately. Dalton didn’t seem to think that he was so decisive, the pupil on his immutable face shrank suddenly.
Of course, it is more likely that it was dawn, and the window behind the desk cast the first rays of morning light. Dalton walked to the window and simply pulled the curtain off, bringing the room back to darkness.
Black robes, dark study, and living room outside … This wizard might not have a wife, right? Loren speculated maliciously.
“Very good, you wait a while outside first.” Dalton said: “After a quarter of an hour, someone will take you to where you should go and tell you what you should do.”
“Thank you for your reminder. Then, leave.” Loren smiled slightly, bowed his head humbly and then turned to leave the study.
Until it was confirmed that Loren had gone away, the Dalton Wizard, who remained motionless in place, returned to the back of the desk, gazing at the empty chair on one side.
“Are you satisfied, Master Dean.”
On the empty chair, in the blink of an eye, there was an old man in a robe and gray beard with a funny monocular on his face.
“You are really getting more and more comfortable handling problems, Dalton.” The old man looked at the black robe wizard’s expression as if he were treating his own nephew: “It is faster than your progress on the path of truth. . “
“Because our college is in jeopardy.” The black robe wizard still looks serious: “There is also a dean who focuses on the experiment and does not ask the world.”
“The thing in the Wild Dog Village is my responsibility. I originally thought it was just some rumors and rumors. I didn’t expect that Ain’s child would be threatened with life.” The old man named Peter gave a long sigh: “I should personally Going there, if the temple is real, then the problem must be solved thoroughly before the church people discover it. “
“There are still many problems that we must all solve as soon as possible.” Dalton lowered his voice: “As long as we have a slight neglect, as long as there is any evidence that we can not show due diligence, once found, it is the handle of the church.”
“Are you blaming me?” The old man asked helplessly: “blame I promised the Duke such harsh conditions, so that you have to be exhausted again and again.”
“If we don’t agree, we can’t get this castle, and there are convenient conditions to start the college.” Dalton shook his head slightly: “So if it is for this purpose, then sacrifice is inevitable.”
“As you know, I hate unnecessary waste of time-the past cannot be changed, so you must focus on the future. Sacrifice is inevitable, then let others sacrifice.”
“So you agreed to the child named Loren?” The old man frowned: “I admit that he seems to be really different from the average child, and also has the potential to become a wizard-but you are ready to let him go Risking his life to do things, even if he is a wandering knight. “
“This is a well-trained, well-experienced child-he is less at risk than other wizards!” Dalton emphasized: “And I didn’t force it, he agreed.”
“You haven’t given him the opportunity to choose!” Peter directly interrupted the black robe wizard: “The child Ain said, his knight master is dead, this child has nowhere else to go. . “
“That’s not the point at all!”
Dalton finally stood up impatiently, supporting the table with his hands and looking at the old man: “All the wizards in our college are already overwhelmed-every time they go out, they have to stop their research and experiments; and In order not to be helpless in the face of monsters, you must also learn how to fight and then waste more time! “
“Just last month, our three apprentices failed to come back. If my apprentice did not encounter this wandering knight, it would be the fourth.” The black robe wizard trembles on his cheek: “Ain Rand is a great A talented alchemist should not stop here! “
“Now there is a very effective way to greatly alleviate our embarrassment and get teaching and research back on track-the only obstacle is your excessive sympathy, President Peter!”
The old man was finally silent, shook his head, but with a helpless long sigh, he was struggling with struggling-he knew the black robe wizard in front of him was very reasonable, but he still could not completely agree with that kind of utilitarian the opinion of.
Expressionless Dalton sat down slowly, UU reading www.uukanshu.com remained silent. It looks like it has returned from an erupting volcano back to a hard ice that hasn’t changed for years.
The atmosphere of the study seemed to be that the air had solidified. Both of them seemed to stand in their respective positions and refused to compromise. They were both waiting for the other to speak first.
“Do you trust this child named Loren Turin?” The helpless old man finally spoke again: “Will he willingly serve the college?”
“I don’t trust-even if I only see one side, I know that this is a cunning and deep-minded guy.” Dalton shook his head: “But this does not prevent him from serving the college.”
“He wants to be a wizard, and to get the knowledge he wants from here, he must exchange it with actual actions. We can also judge his strength from every task. Before he gets everything he wants, he will be loyal to the college. It ’s hard to complain. And when he gets it, he will naturally leave here. “
Looking at the old man ’s still uneasy expression, the black-robed wizard hesitated for a moment: “But what you said is not unreasonable, and you ca n’t let this risk factor in the academy. I came to be his mentor, so monitoring should be convenient. some.”
“It’s not my worry, Dalton.” Dean Peter looked at him worriedly. “But that’s fine. Let him be your apprentice, so you don’t have to spend a lot of time explaining it. And since he can be safe in the erosion of the void, it is enough to show that he is very talented, maybe he will become your proud student! “
Although he knew that the old man was only kidding, the black robe wizard was still trembling with disgust, and Yintang was dark. With a helpless gaze, he watched the old man leave his study.
“Pride student? This is absolutely impossible, absolutely!”
