Chapter 288 He chose life over research.

Anthony said, "Wizard Leo, I will hand over the corpse of the Abyss Blood Demon to the wizards of the enforcement team. Wizard Saga is in charge of the enforcement team, and if you hand it over to them, some unpleasant things may happen."

Leo nodded.

Leo asked, "Wizard Anthony, now that the finished product has been destroyed, can you create a new one in a short time?"

Anthony smiled and said, "No problem. As long as the item doesn't fall into the hands of other wizards, I can still make the finished product."

Next came the research into quality improvement and mass production.

Leo's eyes also held a hint of a smile.

Anthony's research speed was beyond Leo's expectations. With Anthony's research, even if Leo were to produce his own exoskeleton magic absorption equipment in the future, no one would doubt its origin.

After briefly inquiring about the progress of the research, Leo left Anthony's lab.

Not long after Leo left, a figure dressed in a gray robe appeared beside Anthony: "Anthony, do you think this person can help you fend off Kindley's threat and become a formal wizard?"

Anthony pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's difficult, but with Leo's help, once the mass production of this exoskeleton magic absorption equipment is complete, Kindley won't be able to attack me. At that time, the magic stone benefits I'm involved in will be countless."

"In this respect, Leo has helped me fend off Kindley's threat. As for Kindley's first-class wizard apprentices, I don't take them seriously at all."

"Okay, but don't forget our deal. I'll help you stop Kindley, and you'll unconditionally do my research for me for ten years afterwards."

"Yes... I will not break my contract with you."

It was only a week after the Abyss Blood Demon was killed that the enforcement team announced that the Abyss Blood Demon had been killed by Anthony.

In Stoffen's laboratory, Stoffen shook the potion bottle in his hand and said, "Leo, did you kill the Abyss Blood Demon that broke into Wizard Anthony's laboratory?"

At this moment, only Leo and Stoffen were in the research room.

Leo asked curiously, "Master Stoffen, why do you think I killed him?"

Stoffen said, "I know Anthony's abilities. With his strength, it would be difficult for him to kill the Abyss Blood Demon. At most, he could feign death to avoid the Abyss Blood Demon's attack."

"I know some wizards in the enforcement team, and they said you were there at the time, so I guessed it might be related to you."

Leo looked surprised; this statement was exactly the same as Anthony's consideration at the time.

Leo made no attempt to hide it from Stoffen, saying, "It was indeed me who killed him, Mentor Stoffen."

"...Could you explain in detail how you killed the Abyss Blood Demon?"

Stoffen's gaze remained fixed on the potion in his hand, and it was unclear whether he was interested in the matter at hand.

Leo recounted the events of that time. However, he omitted the fact that he used the power of the Heart Demon Dragon bloodline to kill the Abyss Blood Demon, instead saying that he used flesh and blood magic as an aid to kill the Abyss Blood Demon.

Stoffen hesitated for a moment, then said, "If that's the case, it will cause you some trouble..."

Leo looked puzzled and tentatively asked, "Master Stoffen, do you mean that my killing of the Abyss Blood Demon will offend some people? Could it be that there is research related to the Abyss Blood Demon among the formal wizards?"

The only ones who could trouble Stoffen were, of course, formal wizards.

"Yes."

Stoffen said, "Within the Falcon faction, the wizard Olga's research focuses on the Abyss Blood Demon. After the Abyss Blood Demon escaped, the wizard Olga has been searching for it everywhere. I originally thought it was you and Anthony who killed it together, but judging from what you've said, if this is exposed, the wizard Olga is very likely to cause you trouble."

"Especially now that your bloodline abilities have been discovered by many wizards. At that point, Wizard Olga could use this as a pretext to demand that you use your bloodline abilities for him."

"If it's for research purposes, then I can't stop it."

Leo raised an eyebrow.

He hadn't expected this turn of events.

This Tower of Dawn always seems to contain research related to formal wizards... Is this really just a coincidence?

Leo pondered for a moment.

Although there is no direct evidence, Leo always felt that the Abyss Blood Demon was inextricably linked to Augusta.

Even Augusta himself never appeared in this incident.

But that's what Leo thought.

Leo never hesitated to harbor the utmost malice towards Augusta.

Stoffen shook his head and said, "Alright, since it's already happened, there's no point in thinking about anything else now. Just focus on doing what I'll ask you to do later."

"With me here, I won't let the wizard Olga do anything out of line to you. After all, I'm the highest-ranking member of the Falcon faction."

Leo, remembering Stoffen's identity, also nodded slightly.

"As for Wizard Beth, there's nothing I can do to help him. He's not someone I can control."

Leo said, "I'll handle things with Wizard Beth myself."

Upon hearing this, Stoffen looked at Leo and suddenly said, "Leo, if Philia knew about this, she would probably be even more jealous and even more confused..."

Leo stood by, pretending to listen.

Stoffen's eyes flashed with reminiscence as he said, "Although Philia was a student that Augusta arranged for me, even knowing that he would affect my research, I still chose to treat him as a student."

"Unfortunately, his personality meant he couldn't meet my expectations of a student."

"In the past, Philia had also offended a formal wizard. The method he chose was to come to me for help immediately, and even expressed his willingness to destroy an important research project that could enable him to become a formal wizard, in order to apologize to this formal wizard."

"And that formal wizard actually neither remembers nor cares about Philia."

"In the eyes of that formal wizard, Philia was just an insignificant first-class wizard apprentice, not worth his attention at all."

"No matter their motives for becoming my students, even if they hinder my research, as long as they resonate with me, I am willing to impart my knowledge and experience to them and help them continue on the path of seeking truth."

"However, if from the very beginning, one only reaches the level of a first-class wizard apprentice, then I will not consider such a wizard as my student."

Stoffen said calmly.

"On the path of seeking truth, he chose his destiny in weighing life and research."

""

"From that moment on, I stopped considering him my student."
