"Teacher, your face looks so bad. Are you too tired recently?" Lando asked with concern.
Otto:......
"Well, there have been a lot of things lately, and I have to manage all the affairs of the entire Arcane Empire. I haven't had a good rest for a long time!" Odo said seriously.
"Hey, it's a pity that my strength is too weak. If I can be promoted to a Grand Arcanist now, I can help you share some of the burden." Lando also said seriously.
Otto:......
"I'm a little tired. Do you have anything else to do?" Otto asked calmly.
"No, mentor, I'm going to go to the God Research Institute now. Do you have anything else to explain?" Lando responded.
Odo shook his head: "Just go, Master Walid will arrange it."
After hanging up the communication, Otto was no longer interested in reviewing documents. He gently pulled the small blanket next to him and covered himself. He felt that he was indeed old. Otherwise, why could he always feel the coldness of the world? Only
The small blanket in my hand can slightly warm my cold heart.
Lando also showed a worried look. While subconsciously playing with the sleeping little nine-headed dragon turtle, he thought that being the rotating speaker really exhausted his mentor. It would be great if there was some way to help the mentor share some of the burden.
.
He shook his head and got rid of the useless thoughts in his mind. He was still far from a legend now. It was too natural to want to be promoted to a Grand Arcanist during the tenure of his mentor. He had better act according to the plan and do it step by step.
Thinking of this, Lando was suddenly stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that he had forgotten something, but it didn't seem like it was anything important.
"What is it? Research Institute of Gods? Travel to the Black Realm?!"
Lando patted his head, thinking of an agreement he had forgotten for a long time.
When adventuring in the world of Astraea, in addition to Claire, there was a companion, Luo Xiaohu. Lando had promised to take him with him if he traveled to the Black Realm in the future, but he had forgotten about it the previous two times.
However, thinking about the previous two times, one was to find and capture the strong among the ghosts, and the other was the school's trial mission to challenge the Void Devouring Group, it would be useless to bring Luo Xiaohu, but it might also put the opponent in danger.
, Lando suddenly felt at ease.
On this trip to the Black Realm, Lando planned to rely on quantity to find those monsters that gathered in large numbers to harvest. In addition, he was considered very strong now, so it didn't matter even if he brought a 'burden' with him, he happened to be traveling alone.
It was also a bit boring, and it seemed nice to have a companion to chat with on the way to relieve the boredom.
(Luo Xiaohu: Are you polite?!)
Speaking of which, Luo Xiaohu also made a lot of efforts to successfully capture the god Disriel. Unfortunately, he is not an arcanist and has no background, so he is completely unqualified to benefit from it. It seems that if we travel together in the future,
Whenever you encounter something good, you can make it up to him.
Lando thought for a while and connected to the intelligent core of Yinta headquarters.
"Hello, Mr. Lando, Yinta Computer 1730 is at your service. How can I help you?" The voice of Yinta Intelligent Core Machine sounded.
"I want to contact Master Walid Jadali, please help me inquire." Lando said.
Since there was no contact information for Master Walid Jadali, he could only contact him through Silver Tower.
Lando felt that it was better to contact the other party in advance before going. In addition, he also had something to ask.
"We are contacting you...please wait..." After finishing speaking, Yinta Intelligent Core fell into silence.
The wait did not last long, and soon the voice of Silver Tower's intelligent core sounded again: "Master Walid Jadali has agreed to your communication request, Mr. Lando, and is transferring it for you..."
Then, a deep, thick, magnetic voice sounded: "Lando? Do you want to see me for anything?"
At this time, Walid was a little confused. Naturally, he had heard of Lando's name. He was known as a genius when he was in the Silver Tower, and his reputation spread throughout the new school. Now he has entered the Gastro Academy of the ancient school of conjuration. , has soared into the sky. Not long ago, he defeated Chenglong, the chief of the previous school, with a strong performance in the college exchange, and became the chief of the new school. His popularity was unparalleled for a while.
Although he had a good personal relationship with Otto, and Logically speaking, as Lando was a disciple of Otto, they should be very close, but this kid's rise was too fast. He didn't stay long at Silver Tower Academy before going to Gastro Academy for further studies. Odo was too busy with the Arcane Council, so he had no chance to get close to the supernova, so the two sides have almost no friendship until now.
Lando said with some courtesy: "Master Walid, I always hear my mentor mention you, but unfortunately I never have the chance to visit you."
Walid's voice was full of laughter: "Thankfully that boy still remembers me, but it's no wonder that he is in the busiest stage now. He can't leave behind the work of the Arcane Council, and at the same time he has to be distracted by the floating city. After all, it’s impossible to do this kind of thing by others, so it’s normal that you can’t get away.”
Floating city?!
Lando suddenly remembered that when he occasionally communicated with his mentor, he was not in the office of the Arcane Council. It turned out that he was there to supervise the construction of his floating city!
The thought flashed through his mind, and Lando continued: "I heard from my instructor that the God Research Institute jointly established by our Silver Tower and Travis College is now chaired by you, right?"
As soon as Lando finished speaking, Walid understood what he meant and said with a smile: "It was supposed to be hosted by your mentor Odo, but he is too busy now, so he had to let me come. I didn't remember If you are wrong, you should have the official qualifications of the God Research Institute, right? What do you think, want to come here and have a look?"
Lando smiled sheepishly and said, "I do have such an idea."
Walid smiled and nodded and said: "Welcome, but although you have formal qualifications, I am afraid that due to your strength, you cannot directly apply for independent research permissions. After all, I am not Odo, and I do not have the privileges of a Grand Arcanist."
Lando hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's okay. I just want to find a project to hang up when I go this time. I wonder if it's troublesome?"
Walid said: "It's not troublesome, and it should be said that it is very simple. After all, you are a formal member of the God Research Institute. Unlike those non-staff members, no matter which team you join, you can increase the team's role in the God Research Institute accordingly." Without the weight of the institute, it’s too late for them to be popular!”
This is something Lando had not thought of before. It seems that the quota in the Institute of Gods is indeed quite useful.
Walid continued: "In this way, after you come here, I will introduce you to a few close teams, and you can choose one to join. Then it will be more convenient for you to do things."
Lando heard this and said happily: "Thank you so much Master Walid."
After speaking, he asked with some hesitation: "Master Walid, I would like to ask who is the person in charge of Travis Academy? Could it be Osguto?"
When Disriel was captured, Lando's move to seize system components from the former seemed to be noticed by Osguto, which almost led to a war between him and his mentor. If Osguto becomes Travis College, then...
As for the person in charge, there is no guarantee that any accidents will not happen, so Lando also wanted to know about it in advance.
Walid was stunned for a moment and said: "Osguto? Logically speaking, he should be the person in charge of Travis College, but since Silver Tower reached an agreement with Travis College to form
It has never appeared since the Institute of Gods, and recently there was news that it has disappeared, so the person in charge of Travis College is someone else."
Missing?!
Lando recalled carefully, Osguto was obviously very concerned about capturing Disriel, so why did he suddenly let go of everything, and now he is missing?
Although he felt something was wrong, Lando had no choice but to put it aside for the time being because he had no clue.
Walid smiled and said: "Don't worry, I know that Osguto has some old grudges with your mentor, but the Research Institute of Gods is a top-ranked key project in the Arcane Empire. Although it is composed of Silver Tower and
Travis College takes the lead, but the people involved are very complicated. Even if he is really the head of Travis College, he will not be able to trouble you for this reason."
Lando nodded in agreement on the surface, but in his heart he felt that if Osguto really wanted to be the head of Travis Academy, he would definitely not make things easier for him given his suspicion of him.
Walid said: "Okay, you know the address here. You can enter directly when you come here. Your permissions have already been entered into the intelligent core here."
Lando replied: "Yes, thank you, Master Walid."
After he finished speaking, he thought of something. He hesitated a little and asked, "Master Walid, can I bring a friend over? He also contributed to the capture of Disriel."
Walid asked with interest: "Oh? Your friend? From which school of thought?"
Lando blinked and said dryly: "He... is not an arcanist."
Walid's interest suddenly dropped, but he did not intend to refute Lando's reputation. In his opinion, this was not a big deal, and there were many non-staff members in the entire God Research Institute.
Think about it, such a large research institute will always need some janitors and handymen!
After all, the intelligent core is not an intelligent life, and the golem construct cannot completely replace artificial intelligence.
"It doesn't matter, you can bring him here in the name of your assistant."
Walid said.
…………
Arcane Empire, a certain hunting star.
In the mountains and forests, two legendary beasts are fighting in a bloody battle.
On one side is the overlord of this mountain forest, the King Kong Giant Ape, and on the other side is a giant tiger glowing with blood.
The King Kong Giant Ape is a special species of ferocious beast in this world. Not only is it extremely intelligent, but it is also innately powerful. It is ten meters tall, and its fur is as hard as steel. Even people of the same level cannot easily injure it. It is very well-organized with its fists and kicks when fighting.
He seems to know some kind of fighting skills.
The Scarlet Tiger is even more magical. Its entire body is blood red, even its eyes and claws are the same. When it moves, blood-colored mist surges around its body. Its combat skills are even higher than those of the Vajra Giant Ape.
The two giant beasts had been fighting for a long time, and the giant ape had scratches all over its body at this time. The most serious wound almost opened its chest, revealing the huge heart that was still beating inside.
The Bloody Tiger is much better here. Whenever the Vajra Giant Ape inflicts an injury on it, the blood-colored mist around it will surge in, and the injury will disappear in a matter of seconds.
As time goes by, the bloody tiger becomes more and more violent and ferocious, while the giant ape has gradually begun to want to retreat. Although escaping from its own territory will make it feel humiliated, the mere sense of humiliation is not enough to make it wiser.
The King Kong Giant Ape gave up his life!
Naturally, the movements of the Vajra Giant Ape did not escape the eyes of the Bloody Tiger. Just when the former was about to escape at all costs, the obvious flaw exposed caused the Bloody Tiger to instantly be covered in blood. Its speed and strength suddenly doubled, and it passed through.
The huge bloody scratches seemed to tear open the void, leaving traces that would last for a long time.
The eyes of the King Kong Giant Ape flashed with disbelief, and the breath of life slowly dissipated. It never thought that the bloody tiger had been fighting it for so long and still had such a powerful trump card. If it had known this, it would definitely choose to fight desperately, like that
Even if he still dies in the end, he can still cause unimaginable heavy damage to the Scarlet Tiger, instead of dying like a worthless death like now.
"Roar!~"
After defeating a powerful enemy, the bloody tiger let out an earth-shattering roar. Its unparalleled domineering power and coercion declared the joy in its heart, causing all the beasts in the forest to huddle in their lairs and tremble.
Suddenly, wisps of bloody mist began to retract from the bloody tiger. In a moment, the bloody tiger disappeared, revealing the figure of Luo Xiaohu inside.
He is taller and stronger than he was a few years ago, and his face has completely lost the immaturity of a boy, and now has the bravery of youth.
Wearing a sleeveless short shirt on the upper body and fighting trousers on the lower body, with bare feet on the ground, the clothes are all blood red, and a black belt is tied around the waist.
At this time, although Luo Xiaohu's hair and pupils were still black, there seemed to be a blood-colored halo flowing in them.
After leaving the world of Astraea, he experienced adventures in that world. With Luo Xiaohu's talent, he broke through to the legendary level with almost no bottlenecks.
Originally, he was happily waiting for Lando to contact him and join him for another adventure in the Black Realm. Unfortunately, he waited and waited but nothing came. In addition, as he grew older, he learned more about the truth about the world, and understood that ordinary professionals and arcanists
The insurmountable gap between them gradually put an end to this thought.
This is also the reason why Luo Xiaohu clearly had the communication from Lando, but never took the initiative to contact the latter.
Occasionally, he couldn't help but smile when memories came back to him, or when he accidentally got news from Lando, who was his former friend.
"Perhaps, he has already forgotten me."
Luo Xiaohu calmly accepted this fact. After all, Lando is now the chief of the Conjuration School. Even among arcanists, he is a proud man. They are not of the same class to begin with.
‘Didi!~’
A certain communicator that he had forgotten in the corner suddenly sounded, interrupting his thoughts.
Staring at this familiar yet unfamiliar communicator, Luo Xiaohu was silent for a long time before choosing to connect.
"Brother, don't be angry if you tell me, because there are too many things going on here, and I forgot about you, haha! I'm going to have a thrilling adventure, why don't you come?!"
Luo Xiaohu: (??へ??╬), this bastard really forgot about me!!!
"However, my first two trips to the Black Territory had special purposes, and I couldn't take you with me. Strictly speaking, this time is an official adventure in the Black Territory, and it doesn't violate our original agreement! If you don't say anything, I will treat you as yours.
By default, there is a positioning system on the communication. Just turn it on and don’t move around. I’ll buy a few oranges and pick you up so you can see my new car!”
After the communication was closed, Luo Xiaohu was silent for a long time, then suddenly let out a chuckle and pressed the positioning button on the communication.
It turns out that he just forgot!
PS: Friendship between men is that simple. Let me declare in advance that I am not gay!
