This wizard only wants to take students

Chapter 26 The Covetor

[Your student Carly has respect for you, respect value +20]
A system message popped up.
Lucien rubbed Carly’s small head, slightly messing up the latter’s hair.
‘Let’s go, your quest hasn’t been completed yet.’ Lucien patted Carly’s shoulder, signaling her to continue her mission.
……
‘Mentor Lucien.’ After paying fifty Blood Raven’s Beaks, Carly handed over the two magic stones that were the reward for the quest to Lucien.

Carly remembered that the equipment on her body was sold by Mentor Lucien.

Lucien looked at the two magic stones in Carly’s hand and after thinking about it, he reached out and picked up one of them.
‘Mentor ……’ Carly looked at Lucien, and then wanted to send the rest of this magic stone over.
‘Keep the rest for now, and return half of it each time in the future.’ Lucien, however, pressed down on Carly’s hand. After all, Carly also needed to research sorcery models and the like right now, so instead of deducting one or two magic stones out of her hand, it would be better to think of other ways to earn magic stones.
However, before thinking of ways to earn magic stones, Lucien also needed to deal with certain guys secretly spying on him, or at least needed to get that naked look of theirs away from himself.
‘Hmph …… I’m afraid that according to some people’s deduction, they would think don’t have a few days left, right?’ Thinking of this, a killing chance flashed in Lucian’s eyes.
‘Mentor Lucien?’ Carly at the side noticed the change in Lucien’s expression and hesitantly opened her mouth to inquire.
‘It’s fine, small problem.’ Lucian gently soothed a sentence.
Carly, however, gently bit her lips, she suddenly thought of the words Yellen had said to her, and a few moments of worry could not help but arise in her heart.
‘Mentor Lucien, your injury ……’ Carly looked towards Lucian.
‘It’s fine.’ Lucien gently waved his hand, signaling Carrie not to talk about this topic anymore.
Carly slowly lowered her head, but the hand holding the bow and arrow was gripped a little tightly.
‘Don’t worry, nothing will happen.’ Lucien looked at Carly’s nervous appearance and couldn’t help but comfort her.
Carly raised her head, but she was a little worried that Mentor Lucien was just comforting himself. After hesitating for half a day, she squirmed and didn’t know what to say.
‘If you have this time to think too much, you might as well study hard for me.’ Lucian gave Carly’s little head a good-natured smack. ‘Have you figured out the principle of the Multiple Incandescent Rockets on your own? Did you finish your daily practice today? Have you done the practice part of the Model Construction Basics chapter of The Little Wizard Scholar?’
‘No, Mentor Lucien, I was wrong.’ Carrie covered her head, especially when she heard ‘Wizard’s Little Scholar’, her face twitched several times. But for some reason, listening to Mentor Lucian’s three questions of the soul at this moment, she felt her mood relax quite a bit.
‘Then don’t go quickly!’ Lucien had a tigerish face.
‘Aye! See you later, Mentor Lucien.’ Carly looked up and slipped away in a panic.
‘Just a little kid.’ Lucien looked at Carly’s back as she ran away, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.
‘Eh?’ But soon, Lucien’s expression changed slightly as he motionlessly swept over a few insignificant little flying insects beside him before returning to his residence as if nothing had happened.
‘It seems that someone has already been unable to hold back?’ Lucien sneered in his heart.
After switching to the Grey Bone Meditation – Change II, his spiritual power greatly improved in terms of purity, and it also made him sharper in terms of perception.
He had just perceived a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy from those little flying insects.
These little flying insects were the ‘eyes’ of a certain sorcerer apprentice.
‘Hmph–’ After walking forwards for a short distance, Lucien seemed to be “startled”, and swept his spiritual power, crushing the flying insects with spiritual power directly into pieces.
‘From the looks of it, it should be one of the more powerful Level 2 Sorcerer Apprentices.’ After crushing those few small flying insects, Lucien silently felt the faint layer of spiritual energy attached to their body surface and came up with a general judgment.
‘Good thing too, if it jumped out by itself, it would save me from having to find a target myself.’ Lucien slowly exhaled a breath, his eyes becoming somewhat deeper.
In the following days, it was a bit quiet before the storm.
Lucien simply didn’t bother to care about those gazes peering from the shadows, every day was just guiding and instructing Carly, the days were quite easy.
‘Mentor Lucien, I did it!’In the lab, Carly gently pulled the bow open, and at this time, the two arrows on the bow were successfully enchanted by her at the same time.
‘Not bad.’ Lucien gave a smile of approval. ‘Some other day, we’ll find another quest and enchant you to test it.’
‘Hmm.’ Carly nodded excitedly.
‘Then we’ll stop here for now, and you should go back to rest early as well.’ Lucien looked at the time and signaled that Carrie could leave.
Carrie put away her bow and arrows and bowed slightly before trotting away from Lucian’s laboratory.
The nights of Greybone Academy had always been quiet. Carrie had also long been accustomed to the quiet atmosphere at night.
Only when she had just walked out not too far, she saw two silhouettes on the side of the road not far away.
Carly slowed down her steps, with a touch of vigilance in her eyes.
And after getting a little closer, the vigilance in Carly’s heart had reached a maximum limit.
Because among the two people here, there was one she recognized, it was Yellen who had a conflict before.
At this moment, the other person was staring at herself, and the smile on her face appeared a bit leathery and grim.
Carly gripped her hunting bow tightly, while slowly backing away.
‘Carrie, I have brought Lord Apollo with me today, specifically to find you.’ Yellen looked at Carly and his smile bloomed. ‘This is a good thing, a great thing.’
Carly took out two arrows from her arrow pouch, and in her mind, she had already silently begun to construct a sorcery model.
‘This Lord Apollo, a peak Level 2 Apprentice, is just two Spirit Runes away from breaking through to a Level 3 Sorcerer Apprentice.’ Yellen boasted while keeping his eyes on Carly.
Upon seeing the bow and arrow held in Carly’s hands, there was more than a little disdain in his heart.
After all, in Yellen’s opinion, something like a bow and arrow was just some ordinary person’s weapon, not to mention a sorcerer, some physically strong knights were already not too afraid of the threat of such a weapon.
‘I need an experimental assistant.’ Apollo, who hadn’t said anything on the side, finally spoke up, looking at Carly with a satisfied look. ‘I need you to cooperate with me in an experiment, as long as you agree, I am willing to accept you as a student.’
Although she was only a first-level sorceress apprentice, her spiritual power appeared quite condensed. With her as experimental material, the success rate of the experiments might even increase.
If she cooperated obediently, after the experiment was successful, she should also be successfully promoted to a third-level Sorcerer Apprentice. At that time, what was the harm in giving her the title of apprentice?
What’s more, this was the best opportunity to test Lucien.
Apollo looked towards Lucien’s residence not far away, a touch of greed in the depths of his eyes.
