Chapter 272 Formal Wizards as Mentors
Leo's smile remained unchanged as he said, "Wizard Stoffen, what are you talking about? I don't understand."
He would never admit that he set a trap for the Saga Wizard, leading him into his current predicament.
Things were mostly going according to Leo's plan; the only variable was that Stoffen defeated Saga.
Leo thought that Augusta would be the one to save him in the end, while Stoffen would probably be defeated by Saga or even fail to stop him.
Stoffen said, "Since you're unwilling to admit it, then so be it. However, after helping you today, my death is not far off."
Leo looked surprised and said, "Storfin Wizard, what kind of joke are you making?"
Stoffen said solemnly, "Do I look like I'm joking?"
Leo blinked and asked, "Storfin Wizard, are you facing some danger soon?"
"I suppose so." Stoffen shook his head and added, "Well, when I said I was about to die, I was actually joking to lighten the mood."
Stoffens spoke as if nothing had happened.
Leo, however, sensed a hidden meaning in his words.
"Leo, do you know why I stopped Saga just now?"
Leo hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's to protect me from the Saga wizard."
"That reason isn't wrong, but it wasn't because I was worried you'd be captured by Saga that I took action. It was to show my stance."
"An attitude of 'I'm going to protect you, Leo.'"
Stoffen said, "The improved variety of flying pumpkins by Wizard Plessy, my dragon blood purification potion, the splitting and derivation of magical artifacts by Wizard Saga. These are all things you created."
"If it's just one of them, then it might just prove that you have some talent. But repeated successes will definitely send a concrete message to other formal wizards: that you can help them realize the research they most desire in their hearts."
"I don't know how you did it, nor do I know if you could do it just by looking at it. But I suggest you try not to demonstrate this kind of method in the future... or rather, when you do demonstrate it, try to put yourself in a restraint. Don't let other formal wizards think that you can do these things easily."
Leo paused for a moment, then said, "Storfin Wizard, your intervention to protect me was actually a warning to the other formal wizards?"
“That’s right.” Stoffen did not deny it. He said, “If it were only the Saga Wizard who attacked you, then the Tower Master would naturally protect you, and I wouldn’t have personally intervened.”
"However, the abilities you've displayed are no longer limited to Saga wizards; other formal wizards will also seek your help..."
Given the vast difference in their strength compared to yours, it's highly likely that instead of pleading with you or making a deal, they will choose to plunder your memories or forcibly control your consciousness, forcing you to solve the problems they've been researching.
Stoffen repeatedly cautioned, "In short, Leo, you must remember to be as careful as possible when you display your talents again."
Leo nodded.
Stoffen waved his hand and said, "Alright, you can go now."
Leo stood there, looking hesitant, then his eyes flickered, and he said, "Storfin Wizard, why are you helping me like this?"
""
Leo couldn't understand why Stoffen would help him.
This is of absolutely no benefit to him.
Upon hearing this, Stoffen remained silent for a moment before saying, "Leo, you are special. This specialness may very well be able to help me in the future."
"I'm just making an investment in advance for this result."
Stoffen's answer was vague, and Leo didn't understand it either.
However, just as Leo turned to leave, Stoffen suddenly asked, "Leo, would you be interested in being my student?"
After asking that question, Stoffen felt a little amused, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.
After all, no formal wizard had ever been as humble as Stoffen, actually asking a wizarding apprentice if he would like to be his student.
Generally speaking, the roles are reversed: wizard apprentices desperately want to become students of official wizards, while official wizards select suitable first-class wizard apprentices from among them as their students.
After thinking for a moment, Leo replied, "Mentor Stoffen."
Leo's address made Stoffen's smile widen, and he said, "From now on, come to me every afternoon, and I will set aside some time to teach you."
"Yes, Master Stoffen."
Outside the quiet building, two first-class wizard apprentices were on patrol.
This quiet building is actually the central area's prison, a place where wandering wizards are imprisoned.
Every so often, a first-class wizard apprentice would patrol the area, keeping watch.
They work six shifts a day, and even late at night, there are still first-class wizard apprentices patrolling here.
Just then, a figure shrouded in an invisible black mist slowly walked towards the prison.
Upon seeing this, the two first-class wizard apprentices immediately activated their spells.
However, before they could even cast their spells, they were defeated by a combination spell.
Black stray bullets shot towards the two of them respectively.
Before the two first-class wizard apprentices could react, they collapsed to the ground.
The figure shrouded in dark mist walked straight into the prison.
Along the way, he encountered many first-class wizard apprentices who were responsible for guarding and patrolling.
However, without exception, he easily defeated all of these first-class wizard apprentices.
Deep inside the prison.
The restraints on the three wizards, Antos, Kyle, and Verdan, suddenly loosened, and they looked at the figure shrouded in dark mist before them.
Antos smiled and said, "Thank you for your help, Wizard Kindley."
"Alright, get going." Kindley said coldly, "Remember what you promised me."
"Of course, Wizard Kindley," Antos said with a smile. "But besides releasing us, I wonder if you could also hand over that second-class wizard apprentice named Leo to me? I'm very interested in his physical body."
Kindley snorted and said, "He's now in the eye of another official wizard. If you're not afraid of death, go and snatch his body."
Upon hearing this, Antos said disappointedly, "Well, it seems that if I want the body of Wizard Leo, I'll have to rely on myself."
After letting the three go, Jin Deli did not leave immediately, but instead walked deeper into the area.
As he ventured deeper, Kindley was suddenly chilled to the bone by waves of cold air, which made him stiff.
A hint of resentment flashed in Kindley's eyes: "If my permanent defensive field were still intact, how could I possibly be affected by this kind of magic?"
Jin Deli burst into flames, melting away the layer of icy mist.
Kindley went straight to the deepest part.
Deep inside, a small, thin boy was imprisoned.
