Chapter 243 Chief Apprentice
"Master Richard, my name is Lina. I just came to Ignis School half a year ago. You haven't recruited apprentices yet, right? Do you think I meet your requirements?" The girl looked at her with an expectant expression. Richard.

Richard turned the seal ring on his hand and looked up and down at the girl in front of him.

Although he didn't mind accepting a talented wizard apprentice as his student, in his current situation, Richard was still very cautious about accepting apprentices.

As soon as he joined the Ignis School, he was already on the opposite side of the Soto family, an established family force.

Although Instructor Seles will go to make peace with him, Richard knows that even if the other party has revealed this matter for the sake of Instructor Seles, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.

Moreover, he was about to travel far away. According to the plan, he would first go to the capital of the Kingdom of Heron, and then go to the Loras Peninsula of the continent of Vitroll where Mero was located. Within half a year, he would not be able to return at all.

If there are any changes in the meantime, I'm afraid the delay will be even longer, so once I recruit apprentices at this time, from all aspects, it is not the right time.

but
This does not affect Richard's intention to first listen to the other party's reasons for choosing him.

"Lina, let me first tell you that there are so many tutors in the school. Why did you choose me, a newly promoted wizard, as your tutor?" Richard asked.

"Master Richard, because you are the only instructor in the Ignis School who offers the course of Puppetry, I am very interested in this subject. Moreover, your legendary resume of being promoted from a first-level wizard apprentice to a formal wizard has already been established in the school. He became a role model, so..."

Lina stood in front of Richard handsomely, her hands hanging naturally on her lower abdomen, but her white fingers that kept twisting revealed that the little girl was very nervous inside, and was not as calm as when she told the story.

Richard nodded, this reason is indeed very good.

"Okay, then tell me, why should I accept you as an apprentice instead of someone else?" Richard continued to ask.

If an ordinary wizard apprentice is not mentally prepared, and hears a formal wizard say this, he will think that the wizard in front of him has a prejudice or opinion against him, and his legs will already tremble.

But Lina's face turned pale at first, but then she quickly raised her head and took a look at Richard's half-smiling expression, and instantly woke up.

Lord Richard didn't seem to have any prejudice against her, he was just more interested in how she would answer.

This immediately made Lina relax a lot. After thinking about it, Lina replied:
"Sir, although my wizard qualifications are only second-class, my affinity with dark elements is medium, and my mental power is super, but"

"Stop! Say what you just said again."

Richard couldn't help but said seriously, and his whole body slightly adjusted from his original casual sitting posture to a more formal one.

Did he hear correctly just now? This little girl said she had super mental power?

Richard looked at Lina with burning eyes, and said what he had originally prepared: "Lina, I'm sorry, I have no plans to accept apprentices. Maybe in a year and a half, I will consider accepting apprentices."

At this time, Richard swallowed it back into his stomach.

Although Lina had no idea why Lord Richard did this, she was stunned for a moment and then followed Richard's instructions very obediently and repeated it.

"Sir, although my wizard qualifications are only second-class, my affinity with dark elements is average, and my mental power is super."

What Lina said later was automatically ignored by Richard.

Richard is very aware of the advantages of super mental power in controlling puppets!

This means that if Lina had not died young, not only would she be able to control more puppets than ordinary wizards, but her control would also be much more precise.

This is especially true for those puppets that don't have souls to control them!

For example, rock combat puppets, obsidian combat puppets, etc., and more advanced ones are giant war puppets, etc.

Of course, Richard's blood and bone puppet is not included in this list. The blood and bone puppet has a soul to help control it. From this perspective, the blood and bone puppet is actually more of a summoned creature from the undead.

To be precise, the blood and bone puppet is an organic combination of puppetry and undead summons.

"Lina, I agree."

Richard immediately agreed before Lina could say anything else.

Moreover, according to Richard's judgment of Lina's aura, she was already on the threshold of a first-level wizard apprentice and would soon enter the second-level wizard apprentice level.

If he accepts Lina as his apprentice, he should immediately add another point to himself, but not many. If he upgrades from level one to level two as an apprentice, the apprentice mentor will only get 50 points.

but
If you include your original 100 points, you will have 150 points, which means that you can exchange for an ogre skeleton with mid-level strength as the raw material for the second blood-bone puppet.

"Uh, thank you, Master Richard. No, thank you, mentor!"

Lina was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth with both hands, her big fluttering eyes bursting with passionate joy, and she bowed to Richard repeatedly.

"Not so polite."

Richard smiled slightly.

Seeing Lina's happy scene, Richard couldn't help but think of the scene when he first met Teacher Seles. He didn't expect that he would have an apprentice so soon.

For a moment, Richard remembered the scene when Instructor Seles asked him to choose one of three greeting gifts.

I had never thought about accepting a disciple before, let alone preparing a meeting ceremony!

However, the wizard's thinking was as fast as lightning, and soon, Richard had thought of several suitable greeting gifts.

It's not expensive, but it can show that as a tutor, you care about your students, especially a tutor like yourself who is about to travel far.

"However, Lina, I will have a long trip in the near future, which may take a long time, and I will not be able to come back for half a year. Therefore, as your mentor, I have prepared a meeting gift for you, which can be regarded as just accepting you. The compensation for being an apprentice and not being able to teach you.”

"Teacher, you really don't need it." When Lina heard that Richard, as her tutor, actually prepared a gift for her, she couldn't help waving her white little hands quickly and said with a slightly anxious face.

Richard waved his hand and interrupted Lina's speech.

"You can choose one of the following three different options." Richard said to Lina.

"The first item is to give you a bottle of prophetic potion. After taking it, your total mental power can be slightly and permanently increased. Based on your current situation, I estimate that after taking it, you can be promoted to the second level wizard apprentice immediately. "

When Lina heard this, her big beautiful eyes couldn't help but light up. It seemed that she was still yearning to be promoted to the level of a second-level wizard apprentice.

Richard smiled and continued:

"This potion, like other potions that increase mental power, has the best effect the first time. If you take it subsequently, the effect will be halved. Of course, Lina, you can also choose to exchange the prophet potion for the power of shadow potion. After taking it, you can Slightly increase your affinity to dark elements."

"The second item is to give you a rock combat puppet, which is about the top level of a third-level wizard apprentice. Judging from your current mental strength, it is more difficult to control, but after you are promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice, Depending on your talent, you should be able to barely control it."

"There should be a lot for you to use at this time."

When Richard said this, he paused again and glanced at Lina.

He noticed that Lina pursed her red lips twice and almost agreed. The desire in her eyes could be clearly seen by ordinary people, but Lina seemed to hold back and did not choose this option immediately. . "The last item is an intermediate-level witchcraft prop, a black jade ring. If the holder uses the zero-level witchcraft dark element shield, the power of the witchcraft will be increased by 18%. At the same time, the prop solidifies the dark element shield. Zero level witchcraft, it needs to be charged for 24 hours before it can be used again."

Immediately, Richard briefly explained the relevant circumstances of this ring that had not been used for a long time.

This immediately made Lina's eyes widen again. Unexpectedly, the instructor's last choice was actually a defensive witchcraft item. This was a very valuable meeting gift.

Her head was buzzing like a pie falling from the sky!

Suddenly I couldn't concentrate on thinking about which one I should choose.

"Oh my god! Originally, I thought that a genius like Mr. Richard must be very cold and difficult to get in touch with. I came here just with the attitude of giving it a try."

"I didn't expect Lord Richard to actually agree. I became his chief apprentice, and there were actually three greeting gifts to choose from! It's so happy that it comes so fast and suddenly!"

"How should I choose among these three items?" Lina couldn't help but murmured.

On the other hand, Richard had a smile on his face, observing his chief apprentice leisurely to see what she would choose.

Of course, Richard did not offer the Rodriguez meditation method for the other party to choose. Firstly, because the relationship between the two has not reached this stage, and secondly because of his relationship with the other party, and also because of the situation between himself and Teacher Seles at that time. There is a difference.

Therefore, it cannot be generalized.

"Teacher Richard, can I choose the second option?" Lina finally said weakly after thinking for a moment.

"Haha, why did you choose the second option? You must know that the rock combat puppet is very difficult to control even for a third-level wizard apprentice. Lina, why did you think of choosing this option?"

"Teacher, if I choose the first option, I am confident that I can break through the level [-] wizard apprentice without taking any potions, and the rarity of the prophet potion is completely inferior to that of the rock combat puppet. If I don't choose the second option this time, I will You will definitely regret it.”

"As for the third item, although it is also very precious, I currently need to quickly improve my combat effectiveness. In comparison, although the black jade ring is good, it is not as good as the rock combat puppet."

Looking at Lina who was talking eloquently, Richard couldn't help but nodded happily.

He was very satisfied with his chief apprentice's quick response and clear thinking.

Richard pointed to a burly humanoid statue almost two meters high placed in the corner of the room and said:

"Lina, this rock combat puppet belongs to you. However, you still need to learn some knowledge about the intermediate control core."

After Richard explained some details about the control of the rock combat puppet to Lina, he let Lina leave.

As his fingers slowly tapped on the handle of the chair, Richard suddenly thought of a problem. He was about to travel far. If he could buy a flying mount, he could save a lot of time on the road.

In the past, it was because he only had apprentice-level strength, but now, ground mounts are no longer his first choice.

After thinking for a moment, Richard decided to go to the supply point and issue a mission to purchase a flying mount.

His requirements for a flying mount are very low, as long as it can travel long distances.
-
Ignis School, in a certain official wizard's villa.

"Father, do you think Robert's death is over?" A middle-aged man with a sinister face bowed slightly and said to the gray-haired old man sitting in front of him on the red leather sofa.

The middle-aged man's name is Raymond Soto, and Robert Soto is one of his most talented children. Although he is only the son of himself and a maid, he has become quite popular since discovering Robert's wizarding qualifications. Be favored by him.

Robert Soto was an acquaintance from North Ring whom he invited to study at North Ring.

It can be said that Raymond has high hopes for Robert!
But I didn't expect this to happen.

"As a master of potions, Seles still needs to give him face. Moreover, I also heard that the great wizard Graf seems to be very optimistic about the boy named Richard."

The gray-haired old man has a very gentlemanly temperament, and the aura on his body is astonishing. Even compared to the great wizard Graf, it seems to be only a hair away.

The old man paused and continued:
"In this case, killing that little guy will not do any good to the family except making Seles hostile to us and making the great wizard Graf have opinions about us."

"Raymond, if one day you inherit my position, you must learn to put aside your personal emotions and consider issues from the perspective of family interests." The old man said solemnly.

"Understood! Father!" Raymond lowered his head respectfully, but the cold glint in his eyes on his gloomy face seemed to reveal that he would not just give up.
-
Ring of Noth.

Gildas' residence was still filled with the smell of various healing potions.

"These cowardly guys from the Soto family actually compromised so quickly!" Gildas muttered to himself after looking at the contents of the communication mark.

His face, which was originally pale, actually had a trace of flushing at this moment.

But it was obvious that this was not a sign of his recovery, but rather a moment of anger after hearing the news from the Soto family.

"No, this matter won't end like this!"

"Just wait and see! Boy, let's see who will have the last laugh!"

In the study room of an ancient castle on a mountaintop in the Green Kingdom, a white palm was shaking a red wine glass.

There was a sound of flapping bird wings.

A bird of prey as big as an owl, with a pair of striking red blood swallows, suddenly landed on the study window.

"Hey! It's actually a Blood Falcon."

A clear voice sounded, and it turned out that the owner of the white palm was a woman.

She gently stretched out her hand, and the blood falcon seemed to be attracted, and quickly flew to her hand as if it had fallen into a trap.

"Unexpectedly, it was Gildas's mission requesting to kill a new wizard from the Ignis school. His name is Richard. His strength is at the level of elementary level. What's the reward amount? It's actually ten high-level magic stones. It is suspected that the other party has recently Out signs"

"I didn't expect it to be such a big deal! There is such a high reward for killing a new wizard. I think the assassins in the organization will be very happy, and maybe it will attract the attention of second- and third-level assassins."

The woman's name is Julis Vance. As the person in charge of the Hand of Death, a killer organization covering the entire continent of Essos, she is not only unpredictable in her own strength, but she is also the information intersection of the Hand of Death in this region. .

After ringing a small bell on the table, a mysterious man in black robe slowly appeared from the darkness on the side and bowed slightly to the woman.

I saw the woman's red lips slightly parted:

"Issuing a mission. Mission target: Richard Clavell, the new wizard of the Ignis School. Mission requirements: Kill the opponent within a month. Mission reward: nine high-level magic stones."

The missing piece is the commission from the Hand of Death mission, which is similar to the assassin's agency fee.

"Yes! Sir." The mysterious man in black robes replied hoarsely, and then slowly disappeared into the shadows again.
