Chapter 0914 The Power of the Wizard
Wizarding world, White Tower.
Still in a spacious hall on the seventh floor of the White Tower, Meryl the Wizard was holding a parchment that had just been delivered and was in a daze.
There was only a short line of words on the smooth and soft parchment, asking her to immediately hand over the control of the White Tower to the Witch of Fate Xuefu after receiving the letter, and then rush back to the Fire Throne to report.
As for the reason for leaving and the time of leaving, the letter did not explain it at all.
Such an abrupt letter intended to deprive Meryl the Wizard of all her family power. It would be impossible for anyone to do it. But only the person who wrote this letter could do it!
In the lower right corner of the parchment letter, a unique mark formed by fire witchcraft was burning slightly, but it did not damage the parchment at all.
Meryl of course recognized that this was the personal witchcraft mark of her teacher Grimm.
Gently touch the still burning witchcraft mark with your fingers, and while feeling the slight burning pain, you can also feel the witchcraft breath diffused from the mark.
It was the witchcraft mark etched by my teacher!
If the teacher had something to tell me, he could just call me over with a witchcraft message. But now, the teacher's secret letter in the form of an official document clearly asked me to hand over the control of the White Tower. This... the situation was a little different from before.
What happened in the family? Someone slandered me behind my back? Was this letter forged? ...
A series of questions arose from the bottom of my heart, but touching the teacher's unique witchcraft mark, Meryl gradually calmed down.
The White Tower has always been jointly managed by Meryl and the fate witch Xuefu, but Meryl is the main one, and Xuefu is only responsible for some matters related to the fate witch. So it is inevitable that the teacher will transfer me away and the control of the White Tower will be temporarily handed over to Xuefu.
However, after so many years in charge of the White Tower, Meryl has devoted most of her time and energy to it. All the long-term and short-term development plans were being carried out in an orderly manner. Meryl was really worried that her successor would mess up these things when she was suddenly transferred away at this time.
The witch Xuefu was too cold and her methods were not smooth enough. If nearly a thousand wizards and apprentices in the White Tower were handed over to her, Meryl would be deceiving herself if she said she was not worried!
"What do you know about this letter?" Meryl frowned slightly and couldn't help asking Wen Lier beside her.
Wen Lier, who was dressed in a gorgeous aristocratic robe, handsome and upright, answered in a gentle manner: "The letter was sent by Lady Mary, and the people who handled it were all trustworthy people, so there was no problem with the letter. And... Lady Mary sent someone to bring a message. This time it is a good thing, so don't hesitate!"
The letter was sent by the teacher through Lady Mary's channel, and did not go through the normal communication channel between the Flame Throne and the White Tower. This seems to indicate that the teacher does not want the Flame Throne to know the news too early. Did something happen to Gargamel?
With deep suspicion and confusion, Meryl invited the fate witch Xuefu and handed her a fist-sized crystal rune in person. This crystal rune is the core prop to control the spirit of the White Tower, and it is also an important symbol of Meryl's status in the past.
The witch Xuefu seemed to have known something, and did not ask any questions, but asked Earl Wenlier to continue to fulfill his current obligations. The White Tower announced to the outside that the wizard Meryl was conducting an important witchcraft experiment and would not meet any subordinates in the short term.
Although such things are rare, they have happened several times in the past years, so they did not cause suspicion and doubt in the White Tower.
…………
The light of the transmission slowly faded.
Meryl finally survived the sense of time and space dislocation of long-distance transmission, and once again saw the scene in front of her clearly.
This is not the public transmission array of the Flame Throne Witch Tower, but the secret transmission array on the fifth floor of the Witch Tower. So when Meryl opened her eyes, she saw a tall flame figure standing outside the teleportation array, silently examining herself.
Meryl knew that this flame figure was actually a flame clone of her teacher, so she bowed and saluted.
"Good to be here!" The flame figure nodded at her: "Come with me, you may have to stay here for a while..."
Under the guidance of the flame figure, Meryl came to a biological laboratory on the fifth floor of the Wizard Tower. Looking at the large and small, full of glassware, and the strange specimen models floating in them, Meryl was excited and awed.
This... is a secret laboratory of a high-level wizard!
Even if she is the other party's disciple, it is impossible to step into it without sufficient reason. And everything that appears here really shows the solid steps taken by the teacher in biological and blood experiments.
As for the topic and direction of the teacher's research, it is difficult to discern with Meryl's knowledge reserves and high-level knowledge. However, she also has her own unique method of identification, which is to look at the level of the experimental target.
Among the hundreds of living biological specimens in the entire biological laboratory, she can identify less than eleven. And these only specimens that can be identified are often terrible monsters of level 2 or 3.
The most conspicuous monster specimen among them, Meryl recognized clearly, was the third-level beholder that the White Tower encountered during its expansion seven years ago. At this moment, this beholder has become a living specimen in the teacher's private laboratory, floating in a glass jar filled with brown liquid, sinking or floating, life or death unknown.
Similar to the beholder, there are as many as 4 biological specimens with powerful auras.
Although they have been dead for a long time, the powerful and ferocious aura imbued in their bodies cannot be easily taken away even by death!
Led by the flaming figure, Meryl passed through rows of strange, hideous and creepy biological specimen areas, and Meryl finally met her teacher in front of a small and exquisite experimental table.
The flaming figure took a step forward, lightly touched Greem's body, and merged with him again.
Then Greem straightened up and turned to look at Meryl.
"Teacher, did you ask me to come?"
Every time she saw Greem's young and handsome face, Meryl sighed sincerely.
The teacher is obviously older than him, but in terms of appearance and appearance, he, the disciple, is older than the teacher.
Although Meryl's face was beautiful and delicate, there was already a look of old age and vicissitudes of life between her eyebrows. But the other person was still so handsome and tough, with a straight nose, deep and restrained black eyes, and the aura of youthful life that was so rich that he could smell it all over his body.
With the short life of a first-level wizard of two to three hundred years, Meryl, who is now over one hundred and forty years old, has indeed entered the middle and later stages of her life. The teacher has become a third-level wizard, and the basic lifespan of a third-level wizard is years. The teacher is only 160 years old, which is indeed the golden growth period in life.
Therefore, this caused an anomaly where Greem, as a teacher, actually looked younger and more energetic than Meryl, a disciple. Of course, such a scene is very common among wizards, and it is also a situation that wizards are accustomed to.
"Well, I specially called you here this time. During this period, you will live here and don't have any contact with the outside world. I have a special witchcraft experiment that needs you to stay here and cooperate with it!" Not paying attention to the suspicious look in Meryl's eyes, Grim immediately arranged the matter.
"But...Teacher, all the affairs in the White Tower have just been put on track. There are still many affairs in Doverland City and Musent City that need to be dealt with urgently...That Princess Vanessa is also doing something in the White Tower...this The resource collection work for the first quarter will be arranged soon...the deal with the dark witches..." As a disciple of Greem, Meryl is obviously more intimate and indulgent than outsiders, and she can't help but be gentle. complained.
But her words were quickly interrupted by Grim.
"Meryl, for a wizard, what is the most important thing?" Greem's tall figure stood upright, his black eyes looking at her indifferently.
"Knowledge, right? It seems that many wizards believe that knowledge is power! But in recent years, I feel that power is also very important. With power, you can collect resources faster and better. It seems that power is also very good! But in normal times, and There are many wizards who believe in talent and believe that talent can determine everything..." Meryl thought seriously, and her expression gradually became blurred and changed as she deepened her thinking.
"Meryl, the most important thing for a wizard is actually power!" Greem said firmly.
"Power?" Meryl couldn't help but murmured and repeated.
"Power is what wizards should really pursue. Only by mastering power can wizards stand proudly among the crowd and become a powerful race that rules and controls everything in the world." Greem paused for a moment: "As for the knowledge, power and talent you mentioned , are just a way for wizards to obtain power. If you cannot transform them into powerful witchcraft abilities, then knowledge is also weak!”
"Power is a derivative of power. It is only a marginal effect of power. It should not be the pursuit goal of a powerful wizard!"
"Talent determines how easy it is for a wizard to obtain power! If you have an outstanding talent, it will speed up your progress and make your path to improvement smoother and shorter."
"However, in the final analysis, they are all derivatives born for power. As wizards, we should not pursue those minutiae. Instead, we must go straight to the source and grasp the source of wizards' power..."
