"Jie Jie Jie, Thain, you did a good job. It turned out to be a mature starlight grass. I just need it for one of my next experiments..."
A hoarse voice came from a middle-aged magician in black robes in front of him.
The wide hood covered most of this magician's appearance.
The only thing that was exposed was half a piece of face that was as shriveled as a thousand-year-old corpse, and a dull yellow eye.
Facing the mid-level monster Saltwater Crocodile, Thain was able to maintain his composure from beginning to end.
But facing this black magician, Thain's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Thain believed that as long as the black magician stretched out his finger gently, no matter how violent the giant crocodile of Warcraft was, it would be as obedient as a cat, crawling at the opponent's feet.
This is the power of magic, this is the majesty of the black magician! It is synonymous with true terror and despair.
"So Thain, we magicians generally adhere to the principle of equal value transactions. Tell me, what do you want?"
The black magician named Momodo tapped his magic wand with a pale finger and asked the young man in front of him.
Taking a deep breath, it may be that the relatively large movements and excitement involved Thain's wound, and a trace of blood seeped out of the chest of the black magic apprentice again.
But the pull of the wound did not cause any pause in Thain's movements and words.
He bowed forward ninety degrees and said in a very humble and respectful tone: "I want to be your apprentice, Lord Moses, to help you solve problems and explore the true meaning of magic."
He didn't hear the answer from his bent waist, and kept his posture at 90 degrees.
Before the black magician Moshedo didn't directly answer Thain's request to become a disciple, he remained motionless from beginning to end.
"Tick tock."
"Tick tock."
The magic quartz clock records the slow passage of time.
Thain couldn't see the expression of the black magician Moshe Duo. He could only see a thin finger like a bone, slowly tapping the head of his magic wand.
It feels very uncomfortable to have your destiny in the hands of others.
But Thane knows that as long as Moses is willing to accept him as his apprentice, he will be able to control his own destiny in the future better than at least 70% of the magic apprentices in Mensobra City!
Instead of being thrown directly onto the experimental table as a specimen by a black magician who was in a bad mood one day.
The waiting time was long, and the gaping wound on Thain's chest even dripped a small pool of blood onto the ground.
Under normal circumstances, the consequences of defiling a distinguished black magician's laboratory would be extremely serious.
But the strange thing is that Mosheduo did not blame Thain for this, including the fact that at this time, Thain was also focused on worshiping Mosheduo as his teacher, and did not pay attention to this detail at all.
"Hehehe, I heard that the old woman Anjinia and the old guy Colonso also praised your performance in the magic class."
"Why don't you go and become their disciples?" The oppressive and quiet atmosphere was finally interrupted, and Moses asked casually.
Thain naturally had his own reasons for choosing to be a disciple of Moses.
But he knew that it was hard to explain his reasons clearly. Should he say it openly? He felt that Moses behaved more "normally" at the Black Magic Academy.
He is not like Angelia who goes crazy from time to time, nor is he like Colonzo who always likes to experiment with magical amputation on his apprentices.
The main courses taught by Master Mosheduo at the Black Magic Academy are "Introduction to Alchemy" and "Basic Knowledge of the Fire Element".
It just so happens that Thane's physique is relatively compatible with the fire element, and the limited magic knowledge he possesses is mainly based on fire magic.
That's why after careful consideration, he chose to apply to become a disciple of Moses, who had always kept a low profile in the Black Magic Academy.
Including the three Starlight Grasses that he risked his life to obtain, they are also important neutralizers in the process of magic alchemy experiments.
For ordinary black magicians, the value of Starlight Grass is actually not high.
But for Moses, it is indeed of great value, because this thing is difficult to cultivate artificially and only grows in the wild.
After pondering for a moment, Thane whispered: "Because I feel that you, Master, have gone further on the road of magic than Master Angenia and Master Colonso."
"Only by following you can I master the true meaning of magic."
Thain's answer soon caused Moshe to burst into laughter.
However, because Momodo's voice was always hoarse, this quiet laboratory seemed even more eerie when set off by Momodo's laughter.
The praise of himself and the suppression of the other two black magicians made Moses feel very comfortable.
But the factor that really made Moses decide to take Thain as his friend was the second half of Thain's words.
"Master the true meaning of magic? Instead of pursuing stronger power?!"
"Hmph! Thain, if you really understand that knowledge is the source of power for our magicians, then you will surpass more than 90% of the apprentices in the Black Magic Academy." "Including many boring formal black magicians,
I am often confused by power."
"Maybe they have been underground for too long, and these guys have gradually forgotten the true meaning of magic." Moses snorted and sneered.
A green magic beam of "body regeneration" shoots from the head of Moses' magic wand.
This was an advanced healing magic from a great and formal magician. The moment he saw this green beam, Thain finally let go of his long-standing concern.
At the same time, there is also fatigue from deep inside the body, and itching and numbness caused by the growth of granules on the chest.
"Go back and rest for a while first. I agree to accept you as my fifth disciple."
"There is still a trace of paralyzing toxin in your blood. Have you eaten blue moss?" Moses asked.
"Yes, mentor, during the process of returning to the city of Mensobra, I briefly treated the wound with blue moss." Thain replied respectfully, and called "mentor".
Blue moss is a relatively common low-level plant with little magical value, but it can paralyze muscles to a certain extent.
However, the price of using it is that blue moss itself is toxic, and corresponding antidote is needed to neutralize the toxin afterwards.
The black magician Moses gives people a very cold feeling, but it has to be said that Thain made an absolutely correct decision this time.
A large bottle of intermediate antidote was taken out by Mosheduo from his black robe.
Along with it, there was a short staff and a medal.
A powerful wave of magic appeared on the surface of the short staff and the medal.
This was the first time Thane had seen a real magical item.
The former is a magic wand, which is regarded as the noodle maker's gift given to Thain by Moses.
Although it is a "gadget" that Moses refined in his spare time, for Thain, it is an out-and-out treasure.
It contains a corrosive acid that is enough to melt the scales of high-level monsters.
The latter medal is the key that will allow Thain to freely enter and exit Mosido's laboratory in the future. It is also a symbol of Thain's status as a disciple of Mosido.
"Go back and rest for a while. In my laboratory in three days, I happen to have an experiment that I need your help to complete." After handing the three pastry chef gifts to Thain, Moses waved his hand and said.
Only then did Thain dare to look up at Moses.
The person who appeared in front of him at this time was a middle-aged man in a black robe with a slightly sinister face and yellow eyes.
