42. Go for a walk
Frank was overthinking. In Adam's mind, he did not have the setting of negative emotions due to killing, so Adam just waved his hand and rejected Frank's kindness.
The "blood pool" is actually called a decomposition device. Although it is now used as an "incubator", it will become a tool for him to deal with experimental waste in the future. Adam came to the room where the blood pool was located and used his mind power to throw the remaining slaves in. The decomposition device automatically works and smashes all the slaves. Then Adam puts the egg in, which automatically hangs in the flesh and blood, and the egg shells squirm, absorbing them bit by bit.
This scene looks extremely evil. If you change the background, you will definitely be the target of being punished by the whole world, but in the mage plane, this is just the norm.
In the next seven months, the college life entered a steady state for Adam, portraying the master-servant contract on the eggshell every day, recording low-level magic in the library, adjusting meditation based on the progress of James and the problems encountered, and purchasing a batch of new slaves every five days.
Adam was actually not satisfied with this calmness. No matter how many records of low-level magic were, he was just using tools made by others. He still had no clue about his own path.
Although Mind Power showed extraordinary functions, Adam became more and more sure that even if it was really possible to advance based on Mind Power, he would not do it. Because Mind Power is the power of an individual after all. Compared with endless ethers, endless planes and endless knowledge, individuals are really insignificant. Only by mastering knowledge can one leverage the world.
Adam tested his talents many times during this period, which was no different from the situation when he was on a deserted island. Adam once guessed that he was a lightning element affinity, and also specially recorded several thundering attribute magic for this purpose, but it was no different from other magic when used, just like Adam was a full element affinity, but this was obviously impossible.
"I think it's too early for you to think about this." Elliot said to Adam during a chat that day, and at the same time he quietly poured the drink he prepared into the cup in front of Adam.
Adam was immersed in his thoughts and did not notice it. He picked it up and took a sip. The complex smell of taste feedback made him frown, "What is this?"
"The latest production of Elliot Potion Laboratory is a blood potion drink. The raw materials are selected from the blood on the core of strange creatures in multiple planes, as well as special potions from the extreme cold plane. How about it? It tastes very good, right?" Elliot introduced proudly.
"Haha." Adam smiled without emotion, then took out a bottle of water from his portable space and drank it.
"Hey, what do you mean? My Blood Potion Drink is very precious. You don't like this bottle of energy stone worth 40 units?" Elliot said dissatisfiedly.
Adam didn't want to bother him. He was more concerned about what Elliot said just now, "It's too early, what does it mean?"
Elliot poured the remaining drinks to himself, rolled his eyes and said, "It's too early, it's too early, you've been an apprentice for less than a year. See what the apprentices of your same age are doing. They even took several months to build a rune group. You, you have mastered all the magic that is open to you in the library, why are you so anxious? You will find something like a road slowly."
Adam frowned deeper, what is this reason? Because he learned so fast that there was nothing to learn, he had to stop and wait for knowledge to find him? How could he make such a truth? Adam never believed that there was something that could be obtained naturally. It was his belief that the mountain was not just me and I was just the mountain.
Elliot took a sip of the drink, smacked her mouth intoxicatedly, and said to Adam: "You are only sixteen years old, too young, my little one. Do you want to break the record of the speed of promotion from apprentice to formal mage? That doesn't make any sense. James and Frank in your lab are the ones that should be anxious."
Elliot said that there was something delicious here. Although he was much younger than James and had a lot of prospects, he was still much older than Adam in his forties. He had been studying in the academy for almost thirty years, but now he is no longer Adam's opponent.
"But what is the meaning of wasting time like this? Formal mage, knowledge, what exactly?" Adam murmured to himself, as his fingers bounced, miniature elemental magic jumped at his fingertips, and then annihilated the invisible.
Elliot twitched his lips and looked at the incredible scene in front of him. For so many years in the Mage Continent, he had never seen any apprentice who could master all the low-level magic. It was not impossible, but it was too time-consuming and meaningless.
He originally wanted to say that this process not only allowed the apprentices to accumulate magic and learn knowledge, but also allowed the apprentices to gradually transform from ordinary humans into mages, but these two points were obviously not valid in Adam. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Eliot knew that Adam was the only guy he had ever seen who should be a mage.
"Anyway, don't think so much about it. The trial in two months is the most important problem you need to face at the moment." Elliot said in a slight vocal way.
Adam got up from his seat, looked at the upper third floor in the library that he could not enter, and shook his head and walked towards his laboratory.
During the process of going downstairs, Adam saw many apprentices of the same batch. They changed a lot in half a year. Under the pressure of trial, their impetuousness was scraped off layer by layer. Those who could not bear the pressure had already been eliminated by themselves first.
On the second floor, Adam saw William. The son of the duke had undergone a complete transformation in half a year. The mastery of mind power and magic made him feel confident, not the false confidence that was based on external objects before, but the high-quality confidence born based on clear knowledge of the self.
After seeing Adam, William followed Adam and said to Adam outside the library: "I received a battle mission, so I wanted to take a leave to adapt to the battle between apprentices in advance and prepare for the trial."
"Yes." Adam directly agreed.
William was not surprised. After more than half a year of contact, he found that Adam was actually a very easy-to-talk person, as long as he didn't mess with him. After getting the consent, William turned around and walked towards the other end. Unexpectedly, Adam asked at this time: "What kind of combat mission is it?"
William was stunned. Unexpectedly, Adam would be interested in this and replied: "The number of wind wolf outside the town, 33,000 kilometers away from the Moldo Elemental Tower, has increased sharply, and the town commissioned the academy to wipe out the wind wolf." (Kilometres... It's too troublesome to make up a unit of length, and readers can read it awkwardly, so let's use it.)
"Don't mind bringing me with you?"
"Of course...huh? What?"
......
The next morning, at the exit of Moldo Academy, there were already a small team of apprentices gathering. These were rookies who wanted to take advantage of the last time to adapt to the apprentice battle, and William and his two companions were among them.
"Since everyone has arrived, let's go now." The person who spoke was a girl with long pink hair, holding a half-person-high staff in her hand. The water-blue energy stone at the top of the staff was shining with a faint light.
"I'm fine, William, where are you?" This is a teenager, wearing a dark green robe, with green vines wrapped around his hands, standing very close to the girl.
William smiled apologetically, and said, "Sorry, Ruili, Terry, before I could tell you, one of my...friends, I want to join this mission temporarily."
The pink-haired girl Ruili said dissatisfiedly: "William, this is not in line with the rules. You should know that we have signed a contract and the rewards for the task are equally divided. At this time, one person is suddenly added, how do you divide the rewards?"
The boy Terry also said: "That's right, even if we don't ask for compensation, we both trust your strength and invite you. What if your friend is a burden and drag us down? The combat mission is not a game."
"My friend doesn't need to be paid," William said, showing a strange look on his face. "As for his strength... it will definitely not be a burden."
William couldn't help but think of his conversation with Adam yesterday. He was shocked when he heard that Adam also wanted to participate in the mission. This level of mission was pretty good for him, but it was obviously not worth mentioning to Adam. He couldn't think of why Adam wanted to participate.
"I just want to go out for a walk." This is Adam's answer. Even now, William finds it strange. Are geniuses' ideas different?
The contract has been established, and it is obviously impossible to withdraw at this time. After hearing that Adam will not share the reward, they did not want to leave any grudges in each other because of this incident. Ruili muttered: "It's better to do this, otherwise we won't be distracted to accommodate him."
The two of them were dissatisfied and were not even willing to ask Adam's name. They knew that William was working in Adam's laboratory now, but they never thought that Adam, the legend among this apprentice, would come.
William laughed silently and accommodated him? What a joke, just don't be killed just because he angered him.
Time passed minute by minute, and the agreed time was getting closer and closer. During this period, the two of them forced themselves to suppress their dissatisfaction and made up their minds to give William's friend a warning.
When seven o'clock approached, there was a commotion in front of the academy. Everyone saw Adam flying from the sky. Ruili and Terry were no exception. Ruili said enviously: "That's Adam, right? Why did he come here? Is he going out to do a mission? If only he could become a companion with him."
Then William walked forward a few steps, raised his hand and shouted, "Adam, here!"
Terry grabbed the vine in his hand in shock, opened his mouth wide and murmured to himself: "My God, is the friend William said to be Adam?"
