Lina has a bad temper, which is one of the reasons why she is called a "mad woman" by many magic apprentices.
During the years that Thane has lived at the Black Magic Academy in Mensobra City, he has been able to get to where he is today. In addition to his cautious style and perseverance, a large part of the factor comes from Lina's protection.
Lina is a powerful intermediate apprentice. She had already reached this point eight years ago when Thain first met her.
If low-level apprentices can barely avoid being bullied in the Black Magic Academy, then only those who reach the intermediate level or above can truly be called strong by other apprentices.
As for senior apprentices, they rarely appear in the eyes of ordinary apprentices.
For example, the Lilianya who talked to Thain yesterday, Thain had only heard of her reputation in the past, and it was his first time talking to a senior apprentice.
The blood oozing from the mark on Thane's chest caused the temperature around Lina to drop several degrees.
But then I heard from Thain that Irk, who tried to kill him, had been killed by Thain.
Including the real cause of Thain's injury, Lina's anger was obviously relieved when the mid-level monster Saltwater Crocodile bit and hit her.
"Why are you looking for trouble with the giant saltwater crocodile? Even I was not willing to confront a monster of this size in the past." Lina asked with a slight frown.
In the past few years, Lina didn't care so much about Thain. In her eyes, Thain was just a sensible experimental assistant.
It was only after she and Thain developed a super friendly relationship two years ago that this woman gradually accepted Thain and showed warmth to him that was different from his cold appearance.
So Thain told the other party all the reasons and consequences of why he went to the territory of the saltwater giant crocodile to search for Starlight Grass, and was then accepted as a disciple by the official black magician Moses.
After learning that Thane had become an official disciple of a black magician, Lina, with a cold face, finally showed a hint of surprise and a faint sense of relief.
"It is certainly a good thing to become the disciple of an official black magician."
"But you should wait for me to come back. The saltwater giant crocodile is not something you can handle alone at the moment." Lina said.
"The mission issued by Master Mosheduo has a limited duration, and I am very worried that those starlight grasses will be eaten by saltwater giant crocodiles, or there will be other changes."
"And if I obtained the Starlight Grass under the guise of you, perhaps Master Mosheduo would not accept me as his disciple."
"To survive in a place like the Underdark, if you want to achieve something, you must face dangers of one kind or another. I can't always be protected by you." Thain finally shook his head and added.
Thain's answer made Lina's cold face clearly show some surprise.
However, Thane did not notice the change in Lina's expression, and instead opened his mouth to ask about Lina.
"Where have you been in the past half month? I'm worried about you." Thain asked in a low voice.
Facing the care and concern in Sean's tone, Lina's cold face that had melted showed a smile.
This is the first time that Thain has seen Lina smile in the past two years. This smile is not only because of Thain's concern, but also because of other reasons.
"I have been promoted to senior apprentice. For the past half month, I have been meditating in seclusion in the academy's training room."
"We can live in another room next. The two dormitories at the back, both in terms of room size and completeness of the experimental bench, are better than here." Lina said.
Being promoted to senior apprentice was the real reason why Lina smiled at this time.
She also hopes that Thain can share her joy.
Saying goodbye to the home where she has lived for eight years is a difficult thing for Sean to adapt to in a short period of time.
But after all, this is for a better living environment and development space for him and Lina. In addition, Thain has also been accepted as a disciple by the official black magician Moses. For the two of them, it is no less than a double happiness.
"Haha, I went to the Black Street to buy a fish. Let's celebrate today." Thain said with a smile.
Magic apprentices are also human beings and cannot live without food.
Since returning to the dormitory yesterday until now, Thain has only drank half a bottle of intermediate antidote and hasn't eaten anything.
Lena doesn't know how to cook, this has always been Thain's job.
In the first few years of living together with Lina, Thain was gradually accepted by Lina. In addition to his good looks and his very qualified performance in assisting in the experiment, it also came from many little things in life.
Black street.
A special commercial street located inside the Magic Academy.
This is a place frequented by apprentices from the Black Magic Academy. Everything from spell-casting materials, alchemy potions, magic props to daily necessities and other gadgets is available here!
It is said that behind each of the magic shops in the dark streets, there are shadows of senior apprentices or above, or even official black magicians.
Indeed, only those who exist can have the ability and financial resources to make corresponding magic equipment or alchemical potions.
When Thane arrived on the Black Street, Lina was walking with him.
Maybe it was the half-month-long retreat and meditation that made Lina feel bored, or maybe she was worried that Thain's injury had not fully recovered. Lina, who had always been taciturn and rarely went out, actually went shopping with him today.
The "Black Mackerel Scale Fish", a specialty of an underground river, is the biggest goal of Thain's trip.
This thing is not an ordinary fish, but a demonized creature that already has certain elemental power. Its specific grade is equivalent to those entry-level magic apprentices who have just entered the academy.
The huge snout, sharp teeth and sharp barbs on the body indicate that this thing is not a gentle animal.
In the "Kodak Magic Materials Store" in the middle of the black street, this black shark-scale fish is also a rare demonized creature worth up to eight pieces of black gold.
Having just made a fortune from Irk, Thane didn't care about the eight black golds he had to pay.
In fact, if you want to eat a whole black mackerel fish in the college cafeteria, you won't be able to eat it without twenty black gold.
As the common currency of Mensobra, the value of black gold has always been strong.
Thain didn't know how much private money Lina had, but after so many years, the total amount of black gold he had accumulated was only about twenty pieces.
Under normal circumstances, no low-level or mid-level apprentice would have the luxury to taste any demonized creature.
Although eating these demonized creatures can indeed improve their physique, most apprentices will still use their limited money to buy some spellcasting materials or magic books.
After purchasing the Black Mackerel Scale Fish and about to leave after paying, the two of them encountered some troublesome people.
The leader is the scar-faced apprentice on the city wall yesterday.
Conflicts rarely break out in the underworld, because few apprentices can afford to offend the shops here.
The scar-faced apprentice and the others had no intention of embarrassing Thain and the two, but they seemed to have seen the black shark-scaled fish in Thain's hand. The scar-faced apprentice chuckled and said, "You're good, Thain, I
I heard that you actually killed Irk yesterday."
"Tsk, tsk, this black shark-scaled fish could use Irk's black gold, right?" Scarface Jock mocked.
Scarface Jock and others were outnumbered, and Thane did not want to start a fight with them at this juncture.
Moreover, this guy is obviously not very well-informed and does not know that Thain has been accepted as a disciple by the official black magician Moses.
Also, apart from Lilianya and Lina, Thane has not told any other magic apprentices about this matter.
And considering Lilianya's high position, she obviously has no interest in getting together with a group of apprentices below the intermediate level.
Scarface Jock's sarcasm caused a group of people with them to laugh.
These apprentices are not all Jock's followers. For example, there are three intermediate apprentices among them, whose status and strength are equal to Jock's.
As for Jock's cynicism, Thain would have endured it if he were alone. The other party had a large number of people and strength. Thain had already become a disciple of Master Mosheduo, and there would be many opportunities to deal with them in the future.
But the difference is that Thain is not alone at this time.
"Whoa!" A fireball the size of a basketball suddenly appeared at Lina's fingertips.
I don’t know when this woman silently completed the spell casting and chanted, but she actually took action directly in the dark street.
The huge fireball was much larger than the secondary fireball technique launched by Thain himself.
And the color of this fireball is not red, but a dark blue that makes people feel eerie and uneasy!
"Senior apprentice!" Among the group of people traveling with Scarface Jock, some knowledgeable people couldn't help but shout out in shock.
