Chapter 123: Apprentice

“It’s that kid again!” A surprised and angry voice sounded in the room.

Edith was stunned. “You know this Apprentice?”

In his impression, Cassandra was a Wizard with a good mentality. She would not get angry easily.

Cassandra snorted. “Sato brought him here three years ago. I was the first one to teach him.”

“This kid is quite talented and smart. He advanced to an intermediate Apprentice in just three years. He is also good at spells. He also contributed to the war between us and the Red Devil’s Blood. The Hellfire Sea was the reward he was given.”

Edith’s eyes widened. “Three years?”

To advance to an intermediate Apprentice in three years and master a spell with the difficulty factor of [Hellfire Sea], even their students probably did not have the ability.

Cassandra nodded. “There’s no mistake. Back then, his innate spiritual power was appraised to be 1.6, which left a deep impression on me.”

Edith said in puzzlement, “Isn’t that too fast?”

It was not rare to advance to an intermediate-level Apprentice in three years, but that was under the premise of having a large number of resources and backing. It was really inconceivable for these ordinary Apprentices to have such conditions.

Cassandra said, “This little fellow is unrivaled in terms of diligence and hard work. Previously, Debbie let me know in private that he had been hunting and earning resources every day for three years. Regardless of whether it was windy or rainy, he had basically never rested. It is not uncommon for him to be at his current level.”

Edith suddenly came to a realization. “In that case, he really is a talent.”

After pausing for a moment, he frowned and said, “Then how…”

Theoretically speaking, such a talent should have been accepted as an official Apprentice early on.

Cassandra said, “I recommended him to Slater, but coincidentally, the Apprentices of the Snowway family were also sent over, so Slater didn’t choose him.”

Wizard Edith said, “That’s a pity.”

Cassandra shook her head and said, “It’s okay. This kid is a hundred times smarter than the goblins, so he won’t die so easily. Let’s wait for this storm to pass and talk to him. It won’t be so easy to die. Anyway, after this round of fighting, there should be a lot of free resources.”

“Slater is too fond of bloodlines and families. He still can’t understand the noble character.”

Wizard Edith did not continue the conversation. It was hard to say which was more important, hard work or birth.

Cassandra said, “It’s probably because of this. Some time ago, this kid left the tower. Before he left, he took advantage of the time we were recuperating to extort a complete spell from McGee’s student.”

“This kid is very greedy. If I hadn’t found him in time, I’m afraid that idiot McGee’s student would have been wiped clean.”

Because of this matter, Daniel was still locked in the isolation room.

Edith was stunned. As if he suddenly thought of something. He suddenly asked, “Then why did he suddenly go to the Magic Bug Forest? Could it be that he has other plans?”

Cassandra was stunned. “You mean?”

Edith said, “Have you forgotten? Parker left a lot of good things there before he left, including a bottle of Wizard’s Water!”

Wizard’s Water was an essential item for an Apprentice to advance to a Wizard.

Cassandra said, “It shouldn’t be. He’s just an ordinary Apprentice. Who else knows about Parker’s secret room besides us old guys?”

Edith said, “There are also Parker’s students, but one of them, Donna, went missing a few days ago.”

Cassandra frowned. “You mean…”

Edith said, “There are precautions against fire-type spells, but these precautions were ineffective just now. The reason is that this kid dismantled them!”

If they didn’t know the exact location of the defensive spells, how could they be dismantled so easily?

Cassandra was silent for a moment.

She said cautiously, “We can’t jump to conclusions without conclusive evidence.”

This was not Cassandra intentionally favoring Heath, but a judgment made purely from an objective point of view.

Before making the recommendation to Heath, she had investigated his background in detail. Although he was greedy, the situation of breaking the rules did not happen.

Even in the secular world, Wizards rarely followed the ‘Spell Control Regulations’. He had strictly followed them, going to great lengths for a Soul Gem.

If not for that, she would not have recommended an Apprentice who had only entered the Tower for three years to Slater.

Edith said, “Let’s hope it has nothing to do with them. Otherwise, if they really go for the treasure vault, they will only suffer the consequences of their own actions. The thing Parker left in front of the treasure vault is not something an Apprentice can deal with…”

At this point, he furrowed his brows tightly. It was fine for these Apprentices to seek their own death. However, releasing the thing inside would inevitably lead to another big trouble. It would undoubtedly make things worse for the already chaotic Underdark Treesea…

He sighed and said, “It would be great if Slater were here at this time. If it were him, it would be very easy to determine the truth.”

Slater had always been in charge of enforcing the law.

Cassandra asked, “Has Slater not contacted us yet?”

Not long after surrendering, they tried to contact Slater, who had run out, to summon him back.

Edith said, “The last time we received news was in Castle City in the south.”

Cassandra asked, “What did he say?”

Edith said, “What else can he say? It’s not like you don’t know his temper. After suffering such a great humiliation, he even destroyed the life-saving stone tablet. At this time, even if we chase him to the Dark Witch Region, he won’t let Carlos go. How could he come back?”

According to the agreement made during the surrender, the Shadow Tower was not allowed to step out of the Shadow Land for a hundred years as the price to protect the Shadow Tower from being targeted.

Slater left the Shadow Tower before the treaty was signed. According to the rules, he was not bound by the treaty. However, if he returned to the Shadow Tower, he had to stay here and not go out.

Cassandra said worriedly, “He’s too irrational!”

Edith said, “Don’t worry too much. We all know about Slater’s strength. There are only a few Wizards in the Underdark Treesea who can make an enemy out of him. Those who can keep him don’t exist. It’s impossible for Carlos to take out a second three-ring scroll, right?”

The anxiety on Cassandra’s face did not diminish in the slightest.

She shook her head and said with a serious expression, “You don’t know the strength of destiny-type spells.”

“Once this spell is dragged onto the chessboard of the battle, there will definitely be an opponent who is equal to him. Even if there isn’t one now, it will definitely appear in a short period of time, no matter how incredible the way it appears, and…”

“This opponent will definitely fight with him!”

Wizard Edith was stunned.

He was very clear about Slater’s strength. Regardless of how strong his physical strength was. In terms of combat skills, he was one of the top existences in Shadow Tower and even the entire Underdark Treesea.

Unless they completely crushed him in terms of physical strength, if they wanted to win and keep him alive…

Moreover, from what Cassandra said, it was very likely that this person had the strength to fight with Slater in a short period of time…

Was it really possible for such a person to exist?

To complete a qualitative leap in strength in a short period of time, was there really such a person in the world?

…

Magic Bug Forest.

[Beep, extraction successful. Spiritual Power +0.01] A clear notification sounded.

Heath wiped the sweat from his brow and threw the basketball-sized Red-Spotted Beetle into his dimensional pocket.

He looked down at his attribute list and could not help but feel a sense of joy.

‘This trip really came to the right place!’

If he could continue at this pace, it would not be long before he advanced to a Wizard…
