Chapter 281 Negotiation: I Need You to Protect Him

Chapter 281 Negotiation: I Need You to Protect Him

Stoffen can indeed protect him.

However, with too many enemies, Stoffen's deterrence might not be effective against some serious wizards who act impulsively.

Leo hesitated for a moment at the door before pushing it open and entering.

In the single room, Falcon lay on Leo's bed.

Leo thought for a moment, then asked, "Master Stoffen, there's something I'd like to ask your opinion on. Wizard Beth wants to invite me to dinner. Do you think I should go?"

Stoffen's voice rang out: "Wizard Beth belongs to the Black Eagle faction and maintains a certain degree of goodwill towards the Pros."

Leo said, "I met Wizard Beth on my way to see Lord Augusta... I was worried he might be looking for me, and I wonder if Lord Augusta mentioned my bloodline talent."

Stoffen also knew about the bloodline abilities that Leo mentioned.

Stoffen completely dismissed this as a joke.

As a wizard who modified bloodline studies, how could he not know the extent to which bloodline abilities could be utilized?

However, Stoffen did not expose Leo's lie.

Stofin's voice rang out: "If it's related to Augusta, then you really need to be careful. Perhaps Augusta didn't go into detail and downplayed the matter of your bloodline abilities in some way."

"However, if that's the case, then you've encountered this situation sooner than I expected."

Leo looked surprised and said, "Master Stoffen, did you foresee that I would be invited by Wizard Beth?"

"Not really. Leo, do you remember what I told you about the GG application?"

Leo nodded and said, "I remember."

Stoffen said, "The situation you're in now is pretty much what I predicted."

"After you submit your GG report, the official wizards will definitely be able to see your confidence in the results of your research from it. They will then associate it with my Dragon Blood Purification Potion, the improved variety of Plessy's Flying Pumpkin, and most importantly, the splitting and derivation of the Saga Wizard's magical artifacts."

Leo couldn't help but frown.

Stofin cautioned, "Leo, your actions when facing Saga were still too impulsive."

"Augusta will indeed protect you, but only for the time before his prophecy is fulfilled."

"Even with my protection now, you're walking a tightrope. Who knows, one day you might be targeted by a formal wizard."

Leo's face showed a rare hint of indignation as he said, "Master Stoffen, I know my actions were too impulsive. However, given my circumstances, if I didn't do this, all that awaited me was the constant harassment from the official wizards of the Golden Eagle faction, making it difficult for me to conduct my research and grow in peace."

Leo said these words intentionally, in order to embellish his current position.

However, this indignation was partly genuine.

In the single room, after a long silence, Stoffen said, "Since it has already happened, there's no point in blaming. Besides, the current situation isn't exactly a bad development for you..."

"For you, the most important thing right now is to become a formal wizard as soon as possible. As long as you become a formal wizard, even if you are still deeply trapped in Augusta's prophecy, at least when facing other formal wizards, they won't treat you as an insignificant nobody to be trifled with."

"Yes, Master Stoffen."

Stoffen's voice suddenly uttered something that left Leo completely bewildered.

"Moreover, Leo, the situation we, the official wizards of the Tower of Dawn, are in is actually not that different from yours."

Leo's eyes widened, not quite understanding what Stoffen meant.

Could those formal wizards still face the same perilous environment as they do now?

"Professor Stoffen, what do you mean by that...?"

"Alright, Leo, I have an appointment with a wizard tonight, so let's end our conversation here."

"Mentor Stoffen?"

Before Leo could get a reply from Stoffen, the falcon spread its wings and flew out the window.

Leo sighed. It seemed that there were some things Stoffen was still unwilling to tell him directly.

Ultimately, could he really consider Stoffen a comrade?

"Ah...ah...ah, Augusta, you old bastard, I'm going to kill you, kill you!"

In the garden of Bauhinia flowers.

Saga roared angrily at the sky.

However, he summoned away all those who served him around the garden.

Shouting and yelling when no one knows is more like the impotent rage of a Sakya.

Just then, a falcon slowly descended from the sky.

Stoffen's voice echoed in Saga's mind: "Saga Wizard, would you be interested in discussing this?"

Saga roared angrily, "Stoffin, I have no interest in any conversation right now. Get out and leave me alone."

Stoffen's voice rang out again: "If I told you I had a way to help you restore your mental energy sooner, would you be interested in discussing it with me?"

Upon hearing this, Saga's angry expression vanished instantly. He stared at the falcon and said, "Storfin Wizard, are you sure you're not toying with me? You should know that there is still no way to restore mental energy to this state."

Stoffen said, "Leo is now my student."

A cold glint flashed in Saga's eyes as he said, "You think Leo can come up with a solution?!"

Stoffen said, "I'm not 100% sure, but there's a slight possibility."

Saga paused for a moment, then said, "What do you want to talk about?"

Stoffen said, "A deal... a year from now, or maybe a few months from now, I won't be able to protect Leo anymore. At that time, I'll need your protection."

"That's impossible!" Saga categorically denied. "If it weren't for Leo, I wouldn't have ended up in this situation. You want me to protect Leo? Absolutely not!"

Stoffen continued, "What if my terms for the deal included the method of splitting and deriving magical artifacts, plus helping you restore your mental energy?"

"this...

""

Sakya hesitated.

He initially wanted to firmly refuse, but the conditions Stoffen offered made it difficult for him to refuse.

Stofin added, "Furthermore, Saga, while Leo is related to your current state, the real culprit isn't Leo, but Augusta."

Saga pondered for a moment and said, "Storfen, tell me in detail about your deal."

In the research lab, Saga's true form smiled. He knew that Saga had essentially agreed to make a deal with him.

In a dimly lit private room.

A round table and chairs made from materials of mutated creatures.

Decorations made from magical artifacts cover the ceiling and walls, and some serve as lights, creating a deep and immersive atmosphere in the room.

Beth and Leo sat facing each other.
