After the old man finished speaking, the apprentices below were a little flustered.
"What should I do? How should I choose?" Beru looked bitter.
"Paying is better than not paying! This is common sense!"
"You should have extra magic stones, right?" Leylin was a little surprised.
"But... I only have one magic stone left on me. My family sacrificed a team of thousands to get two magic stones!"
Beru was obviously reluctant, and Leylin was also taken aback, and couldn't help touching his pockets.
"I didn't expect that the value of the magic stone was higher than I imagined. When I robbed Olin, I really took advantage of it!"
"No, our Cory Islands are known as the desert of wizards, and there are few natural resources. Maybe in this continent, the value of resources such as magic stones is relatively rich!"
"This kind of thing can only be chosen by you!" Leylin said to Beru.
"Okay! The first one, Lan Nuo!" the old man said.
"Which one do you choose?"
"I... I don't have magic stones anymore, can I pay on credit first? I have a fourth-class qualification!" Lan Nuo's face was a little red.
"Not bad qualifications! Unfortunately, rules are rules!" The old man shook his head.
Pointing to a crystal ball on the table, Lan Nuo's name appeared in it, and there were many strange names flashing back and forth.
Banban, a black python, spat out a message, tapped on the crystal ball, and the words flickered and stopped, "Lano! Mentor Gan Fulin!"
"Take it! A set of apprentice clothes, an identity badge! A crystal ball, which contains a set of apprentice's elementary meditation methods! And your room number and key!"
The old man threw a black package to Lan Nuo, snapped his fingers again, boom! ! ! Suddenly a black ball appeared in the room, floating in the air.
"Follow this shadow servant, it will lead you to your mentor!"
The old man made a gesture of seeing off the guests. Lan Nuo followed the black ball and walked out helplessly.
"Next! Rosie!"
The apprentice who laughed at Dorot at the gate of the tomb just stepped forward. Although he looked much better, cold sweat was still streaming down his face.
"Oh! What did I see? The Mark of Nightmare! Poor little guy! You'll have to suffer for the next month!"
"Can...can you please remove this mark?" Rossi's voice trembled.
"Yes! One hundred magic stones! No credit!" The old man agreed very simply!
Rossi shook his head, and took out a magic stone from his bosom, "I want to choose my mentor!"
"Yeah!" The old man put away the magic stone, and threw a tome like a dictionary to Rossi, "All the information of the mentors who are willing to accept apprentices are on it, so choose slowly!"
"Bang!" There was an hourglass on the table, and little by little sand kept falling.
"I forgot to add just now, there is only one hourglass selection time for a magic stone, and you have to pay for the magic stone if it exceeds!" The old man smiled coldly.
Rossi swallowed, looked at the falling sand, and quickly flipped through it.
"This hourglass seems to only last about five minutes! It's not enough to go through it once!" Leylin narrowed his eyes.
"It's time!" Following the old man's voice, the tome closed automatically with a loud snap.
"How? Have you decided? Or do you have to choose again?" the old man asked.
"It's decided! I choose Teacher Vivian!" Rossi took a deep breath.
"Take your things and follow the servant!" The old man threw another black package the same as before to Rossi, and summoned another shadow servant.
Rosie bowed slightly, followed the floating servants out of the gate.
"Next, Crewell!"
…
The old man yelled again. Leylin watched carefully, and the apprentices went up one by one. Crewell was obviously rich, so he paid three magic stones and read all the information before making a choice.
In the end, Beru still didn't pay for the magic stone, but chose to draw it at random, and he didn't know whether the result was good or bad.
"Next! Leylin!" The old man called out Leylin's name.
Leylin took a deep breath and stepped forward.
"You choose!" Leylin handed a magic stone to the old man.
"You know the rules!" The old man snapped his fingers, the hourglass turned upside down, and the timer started again.
The tome like a dictionary is heavy and has a texture to the touch.
Leylin flipped the pages quickly, constantly browsing the information on the parchment.
"It's the language of Corey Island. It seems to be specially prepared for our apprentices."
"Chip! Record it and extract the information!"
"Listel's necromancer is good at variation, neurology, negative energy structure
Can provide three paid knowledge for free
Requirements: Apprentices must assist in conducting an experiment every month, and they must not refuse for any reason! ! ! "
…
"The mentor of Dorot's Shadow Department is good at anatomy, energy conversion chemistry, and reincarnation of the dead.
Requirements: The apprentice pays one magic stone every month and cooperates with the experiment at the same time! "
"Guofat's pharmacy tutor is good at pharmacy, plant cultivation, negative energy neutralization
A paid knowledge can be provided for free
Requirements: Apprentices must help clean the laboratory every day, pre-treat various medicinal materials, and assist wizards in conducting potion experiments (on the premise of not endangering the apprentice's personal safety!)”
"The instructor of Estero's Curse Department is good at curse science, human anatomy, and spiritual body science
Five items of paid knowledge can be provided for free, and the type can be chosen by the apprentice himself, and the apprentice can be taught anytime and anywhere!
Requirement: Cooperate with an experiment! Only one item! ! ! "
The pages of the book turned with a rattling sound, and when the last grain of sand fell, Leylin also turned over the last page.
"Good memory, very useful for future study! How about it? Which one to choose?" the old man asked with a smile.
Leylin closed his eyes, "Chip! How is the data organized?"
"Ding! It has been sorted out, and the information of 53 tutors has been collected, and the misleading and deceiving information has been eliminated!"
Leylin's face was a little ugly, "I was very concerned about the information in the parentheses of Instructor Guofat just now. It seems that the wizard's experiment is very dangerous, and it will endanger the safety of the apprentice!"
"Gofat is just a pharmacy experiment, what about other shadow-type and necromancy-type ones?"
"No wonder the conditions are so good. Paid knowledge is given free of charge. It turns out that it is to induce apprentices to cooperate with the experiment! Although there may not be accidents, once an accident occurs, it will be over!"
"Chip! Screening, matching conditions: those that meet my own conditions."
"Ding!!!" The blue light flashed, and then the light blue light curtain in front of Leylin changed, and most of the information of the other mentors disappeared, leaving only a few lonely ones, and Dorot's information was also inside.
"The mentor of Dorot's Shadow Department is good at anatomy, energy conversion chemistry, and reincarnation of the dead.
Requirements: The apprentice pays one magic stone every month and cooperates with the experiment at the same time! "
"Guofat's pharmacy tutor is good at pharmacy, plant cultivation, negative energy neutralization
A paid knowledge can be provided for free
Requirements: Apprentices must help clean the laboratory every day, pre-treat various medicinal materials, and assist wizards in conducting potion experiments (on the premise of not endangering the apprentice's personal safety!)”
…
"It seems that Dorot is quite good-tempered among the tutors in the academy, otherwise he wouldn't be allowed to pick up the freshmen."
Leylin thought to himself, "It's a pity that I don't have enough magic stones, and he also has a gate, so I'm afraid he won't pay much attention to me!"
"Most of the mentors in the dark department and other categories require cooperation in experiments, and they don't guarantee their lives. It's too bad!"
Leylin had no choice but to cross out the dark element.
"The only thing left is the pharmacy tutor! The chip has a unique advantage in this kind of high-precision operation. I can use the pharmacy to make money, and then buy the knowledge of the dark department!"
The people outside just watched Leylin close his eyes and make a decision after opening them again.
"I choose Mentor Gofat!"
"Pharmacy?" The old man was a little surprised: "Do you want to become a pharmacist? The initial investment in this area is very scary! Do you want to change it? I think Dorot is very suitable for you!"
"Thank you, sir!" Leylin bowed sincerely, "I am interested in medicine, and I have learned something about it before."
"The pharmacist's knowledge in the mundane world and the pharmacy in the wizarding world are completely different!" The old man shook his head, seeing Leylin's firm gaze again, he couldn't help saying:
"Since you have already made up your mind, let's make it like this!" After the old man finished speaking, he picked up a quill and wrote on the parchment.
"This is your package, follow the shadow apprentice to Gofat!"
The old man handed the black package to Leylin.
Leylin bowed deeply to salute, then nodded to the few remaining apprentices, and walked out of the gate.
The black shadow servant was floating in front, playing a few laps from time to time, the speed was not very fast, but with Leylin's physique of the peak knight preparation, he could easily keep up.
There were apprentices passing by from time to time, and they all looked at Leylin with a look of surprise.
Leylin followed the shadow servant through several corridors, two halls, and a garden before stopping in a laboratory-like area.
The shadow servant's whole body became translucent, and he went in directly through the door, leaving Leylin outside.
Leylin was speechless and didn't dare to knock on the door directly, so he just waited quietly outside.
After a while, a middle-aged man's voice came from the door.
"Leylin? Come in!"
"Yes!" Leylin retreated through the door of the laboratory and entered.
A pungent, sweet smell filled the entire laboratory, and also mixed with a smell similar to disinfectant, which made Leylin frown.
A huge table occupied almost half of the entire laboratory area, on which were placed glass bottles, test tubes, beakers, and other tools that Leylin could not recognize, giving Leylin the illusion of returning to his previous life.
In front of the experiment table, stood a white-haired middle-aged man, wearing a white robe, with golden patterns embroidered on the collar, and a pair of eyes shining golden, looking like two golden gems.
"I'm Gofat. I've heard the shadow servant talk about the specific things. Then, Leylin, are you willing to be my disciple?" The middle-aged man put down the test tube in his hand, and spoke in a cautious tone.
