"Before, I was his only student, so I didn't think much of it. But now that he has you as a student, I'm worried that he'll abandon me."
Upon hearing this, Leo suddenly understood what Philia's concerns were.
Leo was quite speechless about this.
Just how terrified is Philia of a formal wizard? How can she be so afraid of having a formal wizard as her mentor?
Leo felt that if Philia had switched sides with him, even with the encyclopedia manual, she would probably have been suppressed to death by Augusta's prophecy.
Leo said, "Next, you will forget all your memories of seeing me before. You will regain consciousness in five minutes."
""
The Heart Demon Dragon's bloodline ability is somewhat similar to hypnosis.
However, it will not work on wizards whose magical pressure is higher than that of this spell.
Wizards whose magical pressure is lower than that of this spell are hit by it every time, with almost no power to resist.
Leo lay on the bed with his legs outstretched, flipping through the spellbook in his hands in a lazy posture.
"To transform the Seven-Colored Dragon's bloodline abilities into combined spells, I first need the prerequisite of low-level divination—the spell of demonized creatures."
"However, compared to other demonic creatures, demonic creatures related to prophecy are much more difficult to find."
"Other types of demonic creatures are relatively common to find, but demonic creatures related to divination are different."
""
Leo shook his head and said, "Finding bloodline abilities can't be rushed. Let's prioritize other matters first."
"The GG application has now been released."
"Other formal wizards mistakenly believe that I have bloodline abilities, and they will definitely try to obtain research privileges from me to conduct their own research."
"For me, the five research positions basically have a set plan for how to use them. The remaining issue isn't how to conduct the research, but rather how to find someone to help me manage these research labs. I need an assistant."
Leo murmured.
He has an illustrated guide, so he doesn't need to worry about the success or failure of his research.
However, any research project involves various tedious tasks.
Leo possesses five unrestricted research privileges. Although he can completely delegate one or two of them to the responsible wizards, there are still some trivial matters that require his attention.
Personnel transfers, personnel arrangements, logistics, magic stone applications, research materials, and equipment.
These are all matters that Leo, the person in charge, needs to handle.
However, Leo didn't want to manage these trivial matters; he just wanted to be a hands-off manager and focus on his research.
So Leo wanted to find a deputy to help him handle these matters.
For a moment, Leo couldn't think of a suitable candidate.
Either they lack the ability, or they are not suitable for the job.
After all, to put it bluntly, the deputy's qualifications weren't particularly outstanding.
Those with outstanding talent will certainly not be content to be inferior to others.
In addition, many first-class wizard apprentices also have their own jobs, which are for formal wizards, so the possibility of them being poached by Leo is very low.
Among the first-class wizard apprentices Leo knew, those with average abilities, like Kelly, were the type who had their own positions, while outstanding genius wizards like Anthony could only cooperate with Leo, and could never become his superior.
Leo then decided to lower his standards.
"If first-class wizard apprentices don't work, then look among second-class wizard apprentices."
"The requirements are average, but you need to have a relatively deep understanding of the Tower of Dawn, and you might even be hired by me..."
""
Leo quickly thought of someone.
Pera's Research Lab.
In the courtyard.
Pera's tall frame appeared a full head shorter than Leo's.
Pera looked at the employment contract Leo handed her and said, "Wizard Leo, you want to hire me to help you manage these research labs, but I don't think I'm capable of that."
"The situations involved in your research lab are too complicated, and many of them even involve formal wizards. I may not be able to help you."
Leo said, "Witcher Pera, please take a look at the terms of my employment contract first."
Pera nodded slightly and opened the employment contract that Leo handed her.
After a moment, Pera said in surprise, "Wizard Leo, the purpose of this employment contract of yours seems to be only to benefit me."
"I don't need to participate in the research; you'll handle all the research directly. My job is to manage the lab's mundane affairs. And you'll pay me 100,000 magic stones every month. This job is ridiculously easy for me, and the pay is very high..."
Pera fell into deep thought.
Leo smiled.
Choosing Pera was the result of Leo's careful consideration.
Among the wizards Leo knew, aside from first-class wizard apprentices, Pella had the highest magical pressure.
Of course, this doesn't mean that Pella is the best among second-class wizard apprentices, but rather that she is among the second-class wizard apprentices Leo knows.
In addition, Pera has another great advantage: she has experience in running a research lab on her own. This flying pumpkin variant is probably not the first time she has run a research lab on her own.
From this perspective, Leo believed she was a suitable candidate to be his deputy.
Leo said, "I just think that among all the people I know, you, Wizard Pera, are the most suitable."
"If you're not satisfied with the reward, I can ask for more. I can increase it to 200,000 magic stones."
Upon hearing this, Pera pondered.
Leo's offer of such a high reward is not to say that he is a fool, or that he is just rich and stupid and offers such a high price for magic stones.
However, Leo's situation involves frequent association with formal wizards, which poses a significant risk to any wizarding apprentice.
Recently, even in Pella's research lab, Morde and the other person who used to have a good relationship with Leo have started to keep their distance from him.
Pera pondered for a moment and said, "I happen to be short of magic stones too. I can accept this job."
Pera had considered this decision.
Undoubtedly, helping Leo would be very risky, but the rewards would be equally huge.
In a word.
Leo gave too much.
"Welcome to the team, Pera." Leo extended his hand.
Pera grasped Leo's outstretched hand and asked with a smile, "From now on, should I call you 'Boss'?"
"No need, just call me Leo. This is the contract, the same one you just saw. If there are no problems, please sign it."
This contract is binding.
It operates through some kind of magic. If either party violates it, they will be locked down and subjected to a permanent negative status effect.
After Pera signed the contract, Leo said, "Pera, now that you're my deputy, I'd like to give you a little test first."
