Locke left the dormitory, walked in the elegant corridor of the college, and passed through the beautiful garden. At this time, he saw Cohen Julian and his followers in the garden.
Locke frowned at this. During this period, Cohen Julian and his followers were in the limelight.
Because within this one year and three months, the Frankish Empire defeated the coalition forces of the remaining four kingdoms three times and invaded the Kingdom of Bain.
There are now only three of the Seven Kingdoms left, plus the Frankish Empire.
As the son of a count of the Frankish Empire, Cohen Julian naturally became proud in the academy and became someone that no one dared to provoke. Everyone had to give him some respect.
He also tried to provoke me, but I always ignored him. In addition, Cohen Julian's own family issued him several warnings, so Cohen Julian no longer had the intention to be his enemy.
But at this moment in the garden, Cohen Julian's face was extremely pale, and standing in front of him was Professor Olde of Aurelian College.
Unlike more than a year ago, Professor Old's face was now black. He looked like a zombie crawling out of a grave. It was hard to tell whether he was alive or dead. His face was skinny, like a skeleton without flesh.
But he still wore an eye patch on his left eye and gold-rimmed glasses on his right eye.
If it weren't for this, Locke would have hardly recognized him.
Cohen Julian said palely, "But I am a Frank, and my country is very powerful. You can't ask me to go to your office after class and copy things for you..."
"Those students who copied for you all died inexplicably."
Olde licked his tongue and looked greedily at Cohen Julian, his eyes thick with contempt. "It doesn't matter which country you're from, you little native, haha."
Olde seemed to have gone mad and no longer cared much about hiding information about the wizarding world from mortals, or in his eyes, Cohen Julian and others were already dead.
Older said, "Cohen Julian, you've failed too many times. So, you're going to come to my office and work for me, too."
"You have no right to refuse. Your family will allow you to do so. I will provide you with 'resources' as part of the benefits so that your Frankish emperor can unify this small island more quickly."
Cohen Julian's face was extremely pale, and his eyes no longer had the usual smugness and bullying. Facing Professor Olde, he suddenly found that all the things he was proud of had no effect at all, and had become extremely fragile and pale.
He even believed that his family would sacrifice him to please Olde.
He wanted to continue talking and fight for his own life, but at this time, Olde turned his head as if he had discovered a new world and looked at Locke standing in the corridor.
Locke nodded slightly to Olde, then prepared to turn and leave.
After all, Olde didn't look normal at all at this time.
It's better for him to stay away from her.
But at that time, Professor Old, contrary to his previous attitude of pretending not to see Locke, suddenly said: "Locke, congratulations, you succeeded."
Locke knew that the other party was talking about his successful becoming a third-class wizard apprentice.
After becoming a third-class wizard apprentice, Locke met Professor Old again and discovered that the other party's mental power was so powerful.
Even though he was a second-class wizard apprentice whose lifespan was rapidly running out, his magic power and mental strength seemed to far exceed his own.
His own magic power was faintly suppressed in front of the opponent, his mental activity became lower, and his head felt slightly dizzy.
Professor Older left the garden, walked to Locke's side, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Locke, you have become a third-class wizard apprentice."
"Two years ago, I knew you could do it."
"After all, you are the first student who died in my office and came back to life."
Locke's eyes flickered. He couldn't figure out what Olde meant. Was this a simple chat, a test, or even a threat?
Professor Older chuckled and said, "You were really lucky back then. You must have just happened to awaken your wizarding talent, which is why you weren't killed by my life-borrowing ritual."
"We can be said to have known each other for a long time."
"I haven't made things difficult for you in the past two years, so I think our relationship should be okay."
Locke said indifferently: "Professor Olde, you are a teacher at the academy, and I am a student. How could our relationship be bad?"
He was reminding Olde, after all, the wizarding family that Olde came from was still in the wizarding world.
This could bring some sanity back to Alder.
Alder smiled and said, "Don't worry. I just want to make a deal with you."
"It will take another three months for the wizard ship to arrive."
"Tungus has nothing to teach you. He is only a second-class wizard apprentice, and like me, he is very old, only a few years younger than me."
"Besides, Tunguska excels in fire magic, so he won't be able to teach you much. But I'm different. I excel in necromancy. I can sense that you and dark energy elemental particles should have a certain degree of compatibility."
Professor Old said, "So if you don't want to waste three months, maybe you can help me and I can help you."
"Of course, you can refuse. This is just a suggestion."
Locke looked at the other party's stubborn eyes and asked, "What kind of deal do you want to make with me? What can I get? Besides, Mr. Olde, you are a second-class wizard apprentice, and I am a third-class wizard apprentice. I don't think I can help you."
Older whispered, "That's different. My mental strength and magic power are stronger than yours, but I'm too old. And my magic power is too polluted to do anything too delicate. I don't trust that guy Tunguska either."
"I'd like to ask you to help me prepare a potion. I can provide you with both the materials and the method. My mental energy is fluctuating too much right now, and it's impossible for me to do such delicate work."
"I know that the chances of failure for a novice are high."
"I have three sets of materials. Don't worry, I won't blame you if you fail to configure any of them. You can tell Tunguska about this and let him help you assess your safety. But I really didn't lie to you this time."
Alder's tone became much gentler, "I apologize to you for what happened before."
"In return, you can obtain all my magic experience notes. I will also teach you the spell I am good at, [Skull Explosion]. I can also prepare the spell casting materials and learning materials for you."
Older said sincerely, "You've already learned the first spell. Your mental strength is now about ten times that of an average person, so you'll be able to learn the second trick quickly. Furthermore, the prerequisite courses for Skull Explosion are the Fundamentals of Animal Undead, Fundamentals of Magical Manipulation, and Fundamentals of Negative Energy."
"You have already learned the basics of magic manipulation, so you will be able to learn the remaining two courses very quickly."
"If you can learn two spells before boarding the wizard ship and increase your mental strength, your score will be higher," Professor Old said. "This should be a very profitable thing for you."
"It's not certain if you ask Tunguska for help. First, you want to learn the second trick, but you don't have the magic stone."
"The second thing is that even Tunguska can't help you at your current level. He's best at fire magic. But he could be of great help to that girl Patty."
Patty is learning [Burning Mars].
