When Taylor handed the instrument back to the steward in the chore department, he looked a little weak, but his clothes were not in a mess, and there were no scratches on Taylor, who looked intact. The steward's evaluation of Taylor increased by two points in his mind.
In the past, many newly promoted first-level wizard apprentices accepted this task. When they came back, most of them looked embarrassed or covered in dust. There were even a few unlucky ones who were bitten by the sharp points of poison ivy trees. If you get scratched by the thorn, you have to exchange the points earned from him for the antidote.
But it looked like the little guy in front of him was unscathed. Although his hands and feet were a little weak, there was no doubt that he was one of the best new wizard apprentices he had seen recently.
"Submit the task."
Looking at Taylor who handed over the instrument, the steward took the instrument and looked at the dark green liquid in the container under the instrument, wondering what he was thinking.
"A total of 18 points."
The steward finally converted the extra juice from the two juices into two points and handed them to Taylor.
After taking back the instrument, the steward returned a white score record card with a beautiful pattern to Taylor. This is a white score record card owned by every official wizard apprentice in the White Tower Alliance.
What is recorded on it is the points owned by each wizard apprentice. As for the powerful wizards, they have more advanced methods and naturally look down on this kind of points record card.
During the time when Taylor became a handyman apprentice, all he had was a score recorder similar to a round coin. As long as the six-eyed owl in charge of supervising them did not find anything abnormal, their score recorder would add an extra one every day. points as payment for their work.
When he submitted the instrument, he also handed over his score recorder to the steward, who also transferred the points in the recorder to the official score record card.
Taylor took the card. The witchcraft runes on the card were very complex. Taylor could not understand them with his current knowledge, but he noticed a sentence written on the bottom of the card.
"In the face of knowledge and truth, you must always maintain the attitude of a seeker."
Are you a seeker...
Taylor thought about these words carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this sentence contained rich philosophical truth.
Wizards are a group of people who are constantly pursuing knowledge.
A month later,
as the botanical garden shared by the entire White Tower Alliance, although the poison ivy trees were on the periphery of the botanical garden, there were indeed a lot of them. During this period, Taylor had been undertaking the task of extracting the sap of the poison ivy trees. In just a short period of time, Within a month, I accumulated a lot of points.
According to the directions given by the botanical garden steward, some holes in the trees can extract more sap, while others sometimes can't even extract a portion. In this way, gradually, within a month, Taylor accumulated 240 points. .
He had worked hard to get these 240 points. Once when he was refining the juice, he was attacked twice by the stings on the poison ivy tree. He spent a total of 40 points and exchanged two bottles. Antidote.
The first time was because there were too many vines and several of them were waving in front of Taylor, causing him to ignore his head and tail. His arm was accidentally pricked and he almost lay down on the spot.
The second time it was because the poison ivy tree was so cunning that it suddenly attacked where Taylor's feet were. It was also because Taylor didn't take out the circular badge to scan the surrounding area first to drive away the vines and poison. prick.
He took on tasks almost every day, and the high concentration brought by long-term tasks also made him tired and had these two accidents, so Taylor decided to take a good rest for two days to relieve the high mental pressure in his heart.
"I see, you kid, haven't you been taking on a lot of missions lately? Sure enough, there was an accident, right?"
The librarian is now considered a friend that Taylor has known for years. The librarian's name is Oak.
It was also during this period that Taylor met Tutus, the steward of the general affairs department, and Jili, the head of the general affairs department.
Oak taunted Taylor while looking at Taylor's left arm, which was still wrapped in a thick white bandage.
"I guess you were right this time, Oak. Sure enough, the road to the pursuit of truth is full of thorns and dangers. The poison ivy tree is so cunning that it almost killed me with its poison!"
Looking at his left foot, Taylor shook his head. He wanted to rest for a while this time, not only because of his mental pressure, but also because his left foot was injured now. Once he continues to take on tasks, he might suffer from leg and foot injuries. Inconvenience and accident.
Hearing Taylor's complaint, Oak raised his eyelids and said: "This is normal, normal. A first-level wizard apprentice only accepts tasks once a week, unlike you who accept them every day."
Hearing Oak's complaints, there was still a trace of Taylor remained silent despite the words of concern. He just wanted to save more points so that he could exchange them for the Fire Medal, and then exchange them for more knowledge to supplement himself and become stronger.
He just wanted to be bitter and then sweet, to work hard for a while, then get the rewards he deserved, and then devote himself to research and becoming stronger.
Maybe it was because he was getting older, but Oak could see Taylor's thoughts at a glance. He did not interfere, because every great wizard is a very independent being.
This road may be dangerous and may involve losses, but they will still seriously implement their own ideas and pursue their own path and truth.
"How many points do you have now?"
"240 points."
"That's still a little short of that. Work hard, kid."
"How old are you and how old am I? We can't let young people get discounts. "
Then I advise you to respect an old guy like me."
"
Failed again. That old man is really strict."
Return to his room. , sat down at the desk, spread out the flame knowledge notebook that had been densely recorded with many annotations and notes, and after sighing in his heart, Taylor continued to devote himself to his imagination, deduction and analysis of flame knowledge.
He would go to the apprentice library almost every day, arguing with the librarian Oak, trying to reduce the number of points for the Fire Medal by another amount.
This is not just to take advantage, but also a way to adjust life. After all, there is no Internet or video in the world of wizards. Maybe powerful wizards have unfathomable mental strength and can maintain their previous... Zhou has been conducting long-term research and experiments as a unit, but currently Taylor cannot do this. He must find something to relax his mind.
Blindly mixing it with the knowledge of fire, magic, and spiritual power will only make his budding wizard knowledge system more chaotic.
