61. Despair (4)

After the two mages walked out of the tower teleportation array, they were immediately surrounded by law enforcement officers. The alchemy puppets showed a fighting posture and warned the two mages: "Mage Keno and Mage Ryan, when they detected the negative energy aura at the critical point, please explain immediately."

At the same time, the first floor of the tower was surrounded by a strong energy field. The substantial energy interfered with the normal operation of the tower. With the mage's strength, he still felt like a thorn on his back. Master Ryan hurriedly threw Adam out and said, "Address was torn apart by the ancient magical soul and was in an unstable state. I requested to meet with Master Victor."

Hearing Master Ryan's explanation, the strong energy field weakened. The alchemy puppet walked to Adam and stretched out his mechanical arm to insert it into the rune seal. Mage Ryan directly lifted the seal he set up, and the trend composed of silver miniature alchemy robots instantly covered Adam completely.

After doing this, the alchemy puppet paused slightly in place, and then the voice of Dean Victor sounded in the ears of the two mages: "Take him to see me."

The two mages came to the penultimate floor of the tower under the "escort" of the law enforcement officers and saw the true body of the mage who seemed to have been staying here.

"Ri'an, Master Victor."

The huge wizard's true body nodded to the two, then took Adam from the alchemy puppet and easily broke through the silver seal. After looking at Adam's condition, he said, "I don't know if this little guy should praise his boldness or be sad about his misfortune."

After the two mages, Keno and Ryan, knew that Adam was handed over to Master Victor, their fate was no longer something they could control. Life and death were only in the middle of the high-level mage's thoughts. After gently explaining the things, they sat quietly aside.

Master Victor stretched out his huge finger and wanted Adam to point, and then a three-dimensional light curtain appeared in the space, and the light curtain was playing what was happening in Adam's soul sea.

Master Ryan and Master Keno looked at the light curtain, and their expressions suddenly became astonished and weird.

"The soul has been torn apart, mutated?"

Master Victor nodded: "Yes, it has mutated. Most ancient magic is unstable. It is easy to change its nature due to even a slight impact. The original function of this magic was to tear the soul apart. But now," he said, pointing to the monster fighting between the two ends of Adam's soul, "The mutated negative energy has gathered into a whole. This magic has the ability to surpass the first level of ancient magic. It wants to compete for control of this body."

Keno's research direction was completely different from that of the soul. He couldn't quite understand what happened in Adam's soul, but he heard Master Victor say that magic was transformed into a whole, but now he saw two.

Hearing Master Keno’s question, Dean Victor said: “This is why I say he is bold. Without systematic knowledge and exposure to ancient magic, this little guy found a way to fight against ancient magic. He transformed into another desperate monster.”

Master Keno couldn't help asking, "What are the consequences of doing this?"

"It's just success or failure. Successfully preserve yourself and become a monster. But no matter what the result is, his soul will inevitably be stained with the aura of ancient magic, which will have a great impact on his future path and may make him unable to explore the truth again."

After the mage Victor finished speaking, he canceled his magic and handed Adam over to the alchemy puppet, signaling the puppet to send Adam to his laboratory, and then said to the two mages: "Your mission has been completed, and you will settle it yourself later. As for the reward for saving this apprentice, if he can wake up, you will discuss it yourself. If not, the academy will accept his contract and give you compensation."

After the two mages saluted, they retreated. At this time, Master Victor said again: "Oh, by the way, the new recruitment work is very short of staff. If you have time, you can get the task."

......

Everyone's time will not be fixed by one person. The college without Adam is still operating normally. In Adam's laboratory, James and Frank also accepted the news after initial shock and prepared for Adam to be unable to come back, but they did not leave the laboratory. One was because of the contract, and the other was that they had nowhere to go.

After returning to the academy, William quietly signed a contract with the academy, became a contract apprentice, and then dismissed his organization and lived a life of simplicity once again.

Elliot has been here many times, but Adam is now in the dean's laboratory, and he can't see anything useful from the three of them. After repeated disappointments, he gradually stopped coming.

There were only three of them left in the laboratory. They didn't feel anything when Adam was there, but after the lack of Adam, they all accumulated many questions. These questions lacked the existence of Adam, the creator, and the efficiency of their own exploration and discussion and answering was very slow.

Soon, a new group of apprentices came to the academy, and there were no more tourists from deserted islands. All nearly 500 people were highly qualified apprentices recruited from local towns. Just like when they first came, they were both high-minded and arrogant, and they formed gangs in the academy and were domineering.

Due to their background and talent, they had a certain amount of magical strength before entering school. Because of their large number, they had no respect for the previous group of apprentices and wanted to occupy task resources.

There were many head-on conflicts between new and old apprentices, and some apprentices even died in duels. At first, William's group of apprentices gained the upper hand with their courageous spirit after the battle of life and death. However, as time went on, they reached a trough due to the number of people, and some people had already "betrayed" and joined the new apprentice team and turned against their original companions.

So someone found William and asked William to teach the group of ignorant rookies a lesson to fight for rights for the old apprentice.

But William refused.

He found that his thoughts were getting closer and closer to Adam a year ago. He looked at these stupid and ridiculous fights and felt boring. He finally knew why Adam refused indifferently when he was waiting for Adam to ask for help.

Just as he didn't understand at the time, they didn't understand William, and then he became a marginal person.

This made the rookies think that William could be bullied, but after William took action to kill several rookies one after another, no one was willing to provoke him, just like Adam back then.

A whole year passed, and after the rookies left the academy in the trial and assessment, the laboratory in the early morning welcomed the first guest in a long time.

Corriester.

William opened the door of the laboratory and stared blankly at the noble and indifferent Corriester in front of him. He found that the girl who was timid like a little beast back then was completely different from before. Looking at her was like seeing the second Adam.

"Long time no see, Corey."

"Good morning, William, long time no see."

William invited Corriestel into the laboratory, signaled her to sit down at will, and then sighed: "You are different from before."

Corriester smiled slightly, like an iceberg melting, reflecting the dazzling sunshine: "So do you, people always change, they always need to change, right?"

"Yes, it always needs to change, otherwise it will be eliminated."

After saying this, the two of them sat silently, not knowing what to say.

After that, Corriestel stood up and visited the laboratory, looking at every instrument and report with interest. William sat quietly, without introduction or stopping. After a long time, Corriestel asked softly: "Adam, is there no news yet?"

William looked up and said, "Do you know, too?"

"Well, the mentor Black told me that things always happened. He was still so strong, and he escaped under the official mage and fought until now."

Black, mentor William savored this title intricately. His original partners took different paths, but he still did not find his own path and still lived under the protection of Adam.

"How are you doing recently?"

"It's very good. The mentor has the knowledge I can't finish in my life. I feel like I'm improving every day." I'm narrowing my distance from Adam every day, but that benchmark, the goal that I want to catch up and surpass, I don't know life or death.

"But the mentor is still not very satisfied with me. He has said many times that if it were Adam, he would definitely do better."

"You said, will he die like this?"

William sighed.

"I definitely won't. How could he die worthlessly?!"

Corriestel stood up after asking questions and answering himself. She didn't want to get any answer from William, because the answer had already appeared in her heart.

At this time, the door of the laboratory was opened again. James and Frank walked in one after another. They looked at the two of them curiously. Corriester nodded slightly to them and then walked out the door, and walked to the distance without any nostalgia.

James asked William, who was lost, "Who is she? The energy fluctuations are very strong. I didn't know that there are such a strong apprentice in the academy."

"She, it's another Adam."

James and Frank looked at each other, not knowing what William meant. William had no intention of explaining it. He walked aside alone and began to build the meditation method to the mental power amplifier and magnifier.

......

A month later, the new batch of apprentices returned to the college after a 30% reduction in staff. Their trial was more difficult than William and others. After the real baptism between life and death, they became much more calm, and the college also ushered in a long-lost peace.
