This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 178 Saud from the Heart
"You mean, your Dean Lucian will not be able to participate in the second half of this academic exchange, right?" In the room, Wizard Saud frowned, looking a little unhappy.

After all, strictly speaking, it was Lucian who invited them to come for academic exchanges, but now that the academic research was just halfway through, this "inviter" just left.

This behavior, in the eyes of the wizard Saud, was a concrete manifestation of Lucian's disrespect for their Winterhold exchange team. This made him feel despised. Although his voice was calm at this time, it was like a volcano about to erupt, causing Carly to sweat a few drops on her head.

"I'm sorry, but Mentor Lucian..." Carly took a step back and explained the situation softly. At the same time, she tried to suppress the blood in her body that was gradually boiling due to the external pressure, and controlled the blood power to slowly retract the small silver feathers that had appeared on her arms.

"But don't worry, we will arrange for official wizards to follow up on this matter later..." Carly explained softly.

"May I ask if your mentor has any urgent matters?" The cold Wolf looked at Carly, then looked at Saud who was obviously still a little angry, and spoke calmly to help Carly ease the slightly tense atmosphere at the moment.

"That... is to deal with a small wizard organization." After a slight pause, Carly finally gave this information. However, Carly did not tell the details, but glossed over them vaguely.

"Deal with a small wizard organization?" Saud was slightly stunned. After he exchanged glances with another veteran and formal wizard, both of them saw a hint of solemnity and seriousness in each other's eyes.

After all, they knew that Winterhold had been carrying out similar actions recently, and now it seemed that not only Winterhold, but also Greybone Academy was doing similar things. It was obvious that there were powerful wizards behind the scenes pushing it forward. Perhaps there was a game between wizards at a higher level involved, which was not something that Lucian or they could influence or interfere with.

At this moment, the slight dissatisfaction that Saud had just felt in his heart had disappeared, but his tone showed that he was unwilling to give in.

"Forget it this time, but I have to make it clear that in our subsequent exchanges and battles, our Winterhold wizard apprentices will not hold back. Humph..." Saud snorted lightly, but when he looked at Carly who was smiling at this time, his words paused slightly, because he suddenly remembered that the guy in front of him who had the qualifications to communicate with him on an equal footing was still a wizard apprentice strictly speaking.

Because although Carly is still an apprentice-level wizard, her strength can no longer be measured by the wizard level. The fact that Gray Bone Academy has this bug-level wizard apprentice to keep the place in check is simply a sign of lack of martial ethics.

"Our main purpose this time is to communicate. I feel that I'm almost at the threshold of promotion recently, and it's not suitable for me to engage in a battle with communication and display as the main purpose." Carly guessed the reason why Saud stopped talking halfway.

She explained, and Saud felt a little relieved.

"But my junior brother will participate. By the way, strictly speaking, he is only a second-level wizard apprentice now. It should be normal for him to participate in this level of exchange activities, right?" A sly smile flashed in Carly's eyes, but on the surface she still maintained a calm look.

"Junior brother?" This word made Saud a little nervous. In his opinion, Lucian, who could teach and cultivate a freak like Kali, might also train other students who were monsters in some aspects. And letting such monsters participate in the exchange battle might bring unnecessary shadows to the apprentices he brought with him.

However, when he heard Carly's complete story and learned that the other party's junior brother was only a second-level wizard apprentice, Saud laughed.

"I'm looking forward to his performance." Saud nodded slightly, while the icy Wolf next to him showed a thoughtful look on his face. After all, in his impression, it seemed that Carly's junior brother was Edison, a low-key wizard apprentice who was very talented in body refining.

But that person...the strength he displayed in the Blood Fight Secret Realm before, is more than just that of a second-level wizard apprentice, right?
Wolfe felt that there was something strange about this. But when he saw the wizard Saud with a look of "I have the advantage" written all over his face after watching Carly leave, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Well... I have met her junior brother inside the Blood Fight Secret Realm before." After a moment of silence, Wolf spoke softly, which also attracted the attention of Saud beside him.

"That's a very powerful apprentice of the body-refining wizard... well, the one you briefly met and tested before." Wolfe weighed his tone, but didn't notice that the expression on Saud's face had become unusually wonderful at this moment.

Are you kidding me? With that level of strength, Edison is only a second-level wizard apprentice? ! !
But soon, Saud thought of the scene when he fought with Edison. When Edison resisted his attack, it seemed that he mainly relied on physical strength. He did not feel the magic fluctuations from his body that belonged to the attack of the body-refining wizard...

Could it be that he is really just a second-level wizard apprentice?

Saud was getting a little restless at this point. He wanted to rush out to find Carly and ask her clearly, but in the end he suppressed the impulse in his heart. Instead, he stood up and began to walk around the room in a bit of annoyance.

He was somewhat confident about Edison's strength, and Wolf seemed to have a very high opinion of Edison's strength. Although he didn't know where Edison's upper limit was, at least one thing was clear: his strength was definitely not weak, at least he could suppress most of the third-level wizard apprentices. If the group of wizard apprentices he brought with him were wiped out by a second-level wizard apprentice in the body-refining wizard field, it would be a nightmare for both the reputation of Winterburg and the wizard apprentices of Winterburg who participated in the exchange battle!
"Hiss... How despicable!" Saud scratched the sparse hair on his head in pain, feeling that the methods of these wizards who played with elements were really dirty.

……

"Carly, are you saying... they plan to suspend academic exchange activities, and also want to watch us wipe out the Bone Alliance?" Lucian listened carefully to Carly's retelling, and his expression became a little strange.

"Not to observe, but to join forces to participate." Carly also looked a little confused at this time. Although she was the "liaison specialist" for this exchange activity, she was also very confused when she heard the somewhat strange request from the Winterhold representative team.

After all, this kind of joint attack would not be of much benefit to the wizards of Winterhold. It would be like helping the Greybone Academy in vain, and it might even cause one or two casualties among their wizard apprentices.

It can be said to be a purely thankless business.

"What about the originally planned activities?"

"Well... apart from the exchange battles, they are willing to postpone other activities. Uh, what the wizard Saud said to me just now was that they want to use this joint combat experience as a battle platform for friendly exchanges and exchanges between the two sides, because the warriors from the north will only use the strong liquor 'Wodka' and winter bear meat to entertain their friends, instead of using their fists."

Carly relayed the words of Wizard Saud, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Although Wizard Saud's wording seemed very decent and generous, for some reason, Carly felt that there were only two words revealed in this long passage - "follow your heart".

“Okay, let’s arrange it this way.” Lucian nodded slightly. This result was better than he had imagined, so he naturally had no reason to refuse.

"I understand, Master Lucian." Carly nodded, and when she was about to leave, Lucian suddenly called her.

"Wait a minute, regarding the issue of new blood you mentioned last time, I now have some ideas."

Carly paused, she seemed to understand what Mentor Lucian was thinking, her hands clenched slightly, she felt a little nervous, but also had an indescribable expectation.

But after Lucian called out to Carly, he closed his eyes and tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers, as if he was thinking, or making a difficult choice.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

At this moment, Carly slowed down her breathing, waiting anxiously for the final decision made by Mentor Lucian.

After waiting for a while, Lucian finally opened his eyes.

"We will randomly select 10% of wizard apprentices from the first and second grades. They must participate in this campaign. Others can choose to sign up on their own. As for the points reward, they can be distributed to them before the war. Each person... has points as the base. If they have made special contributions, they can get additional points after the war."

Carly nodded slightly, but Lucian didn't finish his words. "By the way, we don't need to assign them the main attack mission this time. We need to arrange some post-war cleanup work. This mission is mainly to let them experience the feeling of seeing blood in the wizarding world. We can't let these apprentices really fail."

After a pause, Lucian added, "The last one, just keep it to yourself, don't tell the new blood. Forget it, it's better to just describe this battle as more dangerous."

Carly blinked, but looking at Lucian's fierce face, she couldn't help laughing. "I understand, Master Lucian, I will definitely describe this mission as very dangerous as you wish."
