Upton lowered his head and ran towards the laboratory of his mentor Martin, carrying the breakfast prepared by the servant below.
He is Martin's only disciple now. Why is he said to be the only disciple now? That's because all the previous disciples were killed by Martin when he experimented with the Meditation Method he modified. As the youngest and weakest disciple, he survived because his value was not as great as the others.
However, Upton is still full of despair about his future, and he will die in the hands of his mentor sooner or later.
Upton was so excited when he was confirmed to be able to practice witchcraft. At that time, he was still dreaming about becoming a wizard respected by thousands of people after mastering the extraordinary power. How glorious he would be at that time!
Now he has indeed become a small first-level wizard, and he is indeed very famous in front of ordinary people, but he also understands how cruel the world of wizards is. They are called disciples in a nice way, but in fact they are just high-level materials cultivated by higher-level wizards that can use witchcraft.
But that doesn't mean that these so-called "disciples" have no hope. There is still some hope. Otherwise, this Wizard World wouldn't have so many wizards.
Some of them escaped after learning a certain amount of knowledge, but most of them were caught and then faced even more horrific torture.
Those who successfully escape will become wandering wizards. Because their knowledge is not perfect enough, most of them will not end up much better.
There are also those who are very lucky, that is, their mentor has reached the age of death and really hopes to cultivate a disciple who can inherit his legacy. Most wizards in the world are passed down this way. But Upton didn't dare to look forward to this. Although his teacher Martin seemed half-dead, he still had at least one or two hundred years to live, and no matter how bad things happened, he would never get this kind of good thing.
Upton sighed, buried his head deeper, and walked faster towards his teacher Martin's laboratory.
When he arrived at the door, Upton hesitated. There was no way he could not hear such a loud noise last night, but Martin had warned him that no matter what happened, he could not enter his laboratory without permission except to deliver food, so Upton listened in his room for a long time. After hearing no more noise, he lay back on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time.
Upton clenched his fist slightly. He really hoped that after pushing the door open, he would see Martin's body when he went in. After all, there were not many wizards who died in accidents while conducting experiments.
If Martin dies, then he is free! No need to live in this constant panic anymore.
Upton just thought about it like this. After an unknown amount of time, he came to his senses, showed a wry smile, shook his head, and threw these unrealistic thoughts out of his mind.
"Squeak!" Upton pushed open the stone door with a free hand, and then walked in slowly sideways.
Upton just shouted, "Teacher..."
Before he finished speaking, he felt a chill coming from his neck and the breath of death coming from behind him.
"Don't move, your head will fall off if you move." Claire said softly.
Upton's body trembled uncontrollably, and he swallowed. He had no idea what Claire's muttered words meant!
"Sir! Calm down, I'm very weak! Say it again carefully and I will listen carefully."
Claire slapped his forehead with his left hand, "Oh, I forgot, there is also a language barrier."
At this time, Claire was a little lucky to have obtained the "Mental Connection" from the previous transaction. It was just suitable for this situation where the language was blocked. After giving the other party a spiritual link, Claire asked again.
"What's your relationship with Martin?"
Upton Countless thoughts flashed through my mind in an instant. What should I say? He obviously has a grudge against Martin. If I said that I was Martin's disciple, wouldn't he kill me like this?
But my relationship with Martin is not that good! I hope he dies soon, otherwise I will be the one who dies!
But what should I say to make him believe that I am not lying again!
Upton In panic, Claire spoke again, "Okay, don't think about it anymore, I know your relationship."
The other party's spiritual world seemed to be completely open, and Claire received all his thoughts without leakage. The wizards in this world didn't seem to pay much attention to the spiritual aspect. If it was a mage from Claire's other world, he could control his spiritual world a little to prevent his thoughts from diverging.
Claire reached out and took the breakfast from Upton's hand. He had been in Space Channel for an unknown length of time, and after the fight last night, he was already hungry.
"This is teacher's breakfast..." Upton said weakly.
"Martin is dead." Claire said calmly, taking a bite of the food on the chopping board, it tasted okay.
Upton's mood at this moment was a little subtle and complicated. He couldn't tell what the specific emotion was.
Ignoring the other party, Claire chewed the food a few times, pointed to the corner and said to Upton, "There."
Upton was stunned and responded with a confused look on his face, "Huh?"
"Go there and squat, don't stand up if I don't speak."
Hearing Claire's words, Upton didn't even ask. He walked directly to the corner and squatted down with his head in his hands. This was a habit he had developed after being with Martin for a long time. Do more, be obedient, and don't ask blind questions.
For these disciples, if you say one more word or take one more action, Martin will remember you as a special case, and you will be the next experimental material!
After Upton squatted down, Claire also knew from Mental Connection what kind of temper the other party was, and that he was not someone who would cause trouble. Then he turned around with confidence and walked towards Martin's body. As soon as Claire woke up, Upton pushed the door open and came in, so he didn't have time to search the body.
Claire actually didn't want to search the corpse for any treasure. He just wanted to find Great Light Orb who could travel back to the original world. He didn't want to stay in this world anymore. He finally found the anchor point in Mage World. Claire didn't want to have to do the time-travel thing all over again.
Nafu City We can't do it without him as the lord. The people of Nafu City are still waiting for him to return!
Claire's eyes scanned the ground and he easily found the Great Light Orb. Martin did not take it in, or the situation was too urgent and he did not have time to take it in.
Claire walked over quickly, picked up the Great Light Orb on the ground, held it in his hand and closed his eyes to feel the position of those Small Light Orb.
After a while, Claire's eyes slowly opened, filled with disbelief.
"How is that possible! Why can't I feel the position of the Small Light Orb?"
Claire did not believe in evil and closed his eyes to feel it, but the result was the same. In the end, Claire took out the set of light balls he had traded and closed his eyes to feel it. It was obvious that he could feel it! Why doesn't Martin's work?
There is only one possibility, and that is that Small Light Orb had a problem and was damaged after the transmission, so Claire cannot sense its position now.
"Fuck you!" Claire cursed through gritted teeth and smashed Great Light Orb in his hand to the ground!
Upton next to the corner trembled when he heard Claire's roar, but he still tried his best to control his body and try not to make any noise, lest Claire transfer his anger to him.
Claire's frozen eyes changed several times, "Then how can I go back?!"
