Fortunately, nothing happened until Dave returned to the 30th floor.
Dave finally slowed down and took a few deep breaths.
There were quite a few mages there on floor 30.
This gave him some sense of security. Even if he were really targeted, the other party would not dare to make a move under the eyes of so many Mages.
"Perhaps I was overthinking."
Dave felt relieved, but he suddenly wondered if he had gone overboard.
Just now, he had used all the methods he could think of to get rid of the pursuers behind him.
He had spent three Magic Stones just to disguise himself and escape!
Although he thought that the three magic stones were nothing compared to his life, now that he thought about it, he felt that he might have been a little stressed.
However, the horror in his heart just now was really too strong.
So many people, including himself, did not realize that Millie had disappeared.
It was as if everyone's memories had been modified…
Dave had never heard of such power before.
Therefore, when he thought back to the acolyte who stuffed people's pockets with the flyers, he felt that it was a little deliberate.
It was as if someone had deliberately set up a trap to lure him.
Therefore, after a moment of hesitation, he decisively chose to run.
"It shouldn't be an illusion.
"Even if no one is chasing me, they should have already discovered me.
"Are they from the Grey Table?
" Shop No. 32."
Taking a deep breath, Dave looked back to make sure that no one was following him, then continued to walk up the stairs.
But this time, he did not plan to return to his residence on the 32nd floor.
The upper floors of the tower were divided into levels 31 to 33, which were specially allocated for level 3 and level 2 acolytes to live in. The acolyte market was also located on the 31st floor.
The three floors were divided into thousands of small rooms, enough to accommodate all level 3 and level 2 acolytes, as well as a vast acolyte market.
However, this crowded structure also caused the management there to be very chaotic.
Of course, with the academy's disregard for the personal safety of the acolytes, it could be said that this was to be expected.
In such an environment, it was not uncommon for people to disappear.
Dave had heard about a few level 3 acolytes who had disappeared recently. He didn't even know where Millie had gone.
He did not wish to become one of them.
Therefore, Dave did not plan to go up the stairs.
He couldn't guarantee that an organization that could make an acolyte like Millie disappear without anyone noticing existed…
How safe could his residence on the 32nd floor be?
Therefore, he decisively went down the stairs.
The 28th to 30th floors were filled with classrooms. This was where the level 3 acolytes usually attended classes.
The lower floors were the residences and classrooms of higher-level apprentices.
Dave went all the way down to the familiar twenty-second floor.
This was Mrs. Izu's laboratory, where he used to work every day.
At this time, the sky had already begun to darken, and the sun had already reached the position where it was about to set on the sea.
Dave walked to the door and knocked on the door frame.
"Is Lord Bobvia here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar face protruded from the door.
"Oh, it's Dave.
"Why are you here in the laboratory?"
Seeing the familiar face, Dave felt relieved.
"In fact, I might be in danger now…"
Dave didn't dare to hide anything since it was a matter that concerned his own safety.
"Is that so..."
The Lord of Bobvia said calmly.
"In that case, are you here to take refuge?
"No problem. The laboratory is open all day. You just need to keep quiet at night and not disturb me..."
"Thank you, Lord Bobvia."
Dave quickly thanked him.
"In fact, Glenn often comes to bother me at night. Dave, remember not to learn from him!"
Bobvia was still chattering away.
The door opened, and David hurried in.
There was, indeed, no one in the laboratory. Usually, there were only two or three people here in the afternoon. At this time, most of them had already eaten and gone back.
Dave finally relaxed when he was in a familiar environment.
This was the 22nd floor of the Mages' laboratory. If those people really dared to come here and make a move…Dave accepted his fate.
Only now did he have the time to sort out the information he had obtained.
"Grey table…The missing Millie and Shop 32.
"Since acolytes have already gone missing, then I think there should be no problem with reporting this matter to the higher-ups.
"Besides, it has something to do with my safety, so it's most appropriate to bring it up with Mrs. Izu."
Ever since Dave showed his talent in Potionology and was taken in by Mrs. Izu, he became a student of Mrs. Izu.
He became quite popular.
When he was refining potions, the other acolytes would always come to take a look.
They were all curious as to how a mere level 3 acolyte could surpass them in the success rate of crafting a basic potion like Spirit Water.
Of course, no one had ever asked Dave for advice.
However, Mrs. Izu liked Dave more and more.
She would definitely not ignore a threat to his life.
"Other than Mrs. Izu, I also need to have more self-protection skills…."
Dave took out the new potion formula.
The situation was urgent, and his plan to buy formulas today was affected. He did not have much time to choose.
He didn't choose the formula with the lowest difficulty. Instead, he randomly picked one in the shop.
It was called [Explosive Potion]. Just by looking at the name, one could tell that this was a magic potion used in battle.
It wasn't meant to be drunk but thrown out. When it landed, it would produce a violent explosion of fireballs.
Its advantage was that its damage was considered relatively good among acolyte-level potions, and the raw materials used to make it were relatively simple.
Other than the spirit water, there were only four common materials.
The disadvantage was that the usage and range were limited. After all, the acolytes didn't have the strength to throw this thing too far away.
Dave didn't think much of it when he took it, but now he realized that it was indeed suitable for his current situation.
With enough power, if he could really refine two tubes, at the very least, his self-defense ability would be much higher than before!
