This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 189 Finalized, Return

"It doesn't seem to be a big problem. It even has some similarities with some of the training methods that came with the Earth Fire Body Refining Technique that Edison practiced before..."

Lucian quickly flipped through the small portion of the teaching plan, while silently weighing the options in his mind.

However, as Lucian carefully flipped through the book, his movements soon paused slightly, and even the expression on Saud's face, who was waiting with a smile on his face, froze for a moment.

Fortunately, as a formal wizard-level physical practitioner, his control over his body muscles far exceeded that of ordinary people. Soon, he made his expression look softer and more natural by controlling the subtle muscles of his face.

But Saud couldn't help but murmur in his heart, wondering if Lucian had noticed something wrong or something that went against the Greybone Academy's plan.

But... even if he discovered something, it would be useless. After all, according to the description of the contract, the body-refining method we gave them in Winterhold is absolutely fine. It can even be said that it exceeds the requirements of the contract. At most, it just does not meet their own secret expectations...

When Wizard Saud thought of this, he felt refreshed.

It's really uncomfortable to make others swallow a loss.

sand--

Soon, Lucian gently turned the page of the lesson plan, but did not say anything. Instead, he continued reading, his brows slowly furrowing as he read. This made Saoud's heart, which had just relaxed, tense up again.

“Could it be that he… really has some knowledge of the cultivation methods of body-refining wizards?” Saud was secretly observing Lucian at this time, trying to observe some useful information from Lucian’s movements or micro-expressions.

But soon, the wizard Saud felt that he seemed to have met a master. After all, Lucian's expression of extremely devoted thinking did not seem to be fake.

"But... he is an elemental wizard! And he is a very powerful elemental wizard. He can even learn and imitate some blood magic or talents through elemental magic... How could a genius wizard with such achievements in the path of elemental wizards bother to dabble in body refining magic that he can't practice at all?"

"So, he must be acting, trying to trick me."

The wizard Saoud was a little nervous, but when he noticed Carly beside him, his expression relaxed a little. He felt that all of Lucian's current actions were "performances" to make him reveal some flaws, which would facilitate some subsequent discussions, or even to further ask for some body refining methods or other knowledge from Winterhold.

After thinking about this, Wizard Saud completely relaxed. He simply sat down on the chair and even took out a bottle of the northern specialty "Wodka" from his storage of wizard tools.

Just as he was about to pick up the bottle to rinse his mouth to sober up, he remembered that he might have to "bargain" with Lucian later, so after a slight pause, his hand holding the bottle turned to the small cup beside him reluctantly, taking a sip from time to time to satisfy his craving like tasting coffee, and was ready for a "protracted war".

At this time, Lucian, who was labeled as a "performer" by Saud, put all his attention on this small half of the lesson plan.

Comparing this with the partial knowledge of the Earthfire Body Refining Technique that he had read before, the more Lucian read it, the more satisfied he felt. The excellence of this body refining method provided by Winterhold far exceeded his expectations, and even made Lucian have some doubts, wondering whether the other party was an undercover agent of the Graybone Wizard who had ambushed in Winterhold in advance.

Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind. Lucian did not think that the Graybone Wizard had the charm to make the core members of other wizard forces defect, especially the potential wizard like Saud who had a great hope of becoming the core decision-making circle of Winterhold.

Lucian continued to flip through the lesson plans while thinking, but soon he couldn't help but pause because he had already finished reading the contents of the small stack of lesson plans in his hand.

call--

Lucian slowly closed the half-broken lesson plan, then quietly glanced at Saud. Observing his forced calmness and his alert attitude, Lucian seemed to understand something. He felt that the wizard of Winterhold seemed to have made some kind of transitional interpretation of his behavior.

After thinking about this, Lucian’s thoughts shifted from the excitement he had just felt when he was looking at the lesson plan. He soon realized the shortcoming of this body-building method - it was difficult to practice.

To sum it up simply, it means high threshold and high achievement.

This shortcoming is fatal to most wizard apprentices. After all, no matter how good the training method is, if you can't learn it or practice it, it's just a decoration, and it's not as good as an ordinary training method that you can get started with.

But for a gifted wizard apprentice like Edison, perhaps this demanding and difficult method is the most suitable for them.

Especially for Edison, some ordinary body refining methods could not even stimulate his body sufficiently, which also led to his extremely slow progress in body refining witchcraft. Only this method, which was extremely difficult and arduous for ordinary apprentices, could perhaps bring Edison the right amount of stimulation.

However, Lucian also understood the fox tail that Saud had raised behind this matter. He probably wanted to use this difficult body refining method to hinder the path of most of the wizard apprentices in the Gray Bone Academy who wanted to go deeper into the direction of body refining wizards...

"You are such an old fox, but I have another set of earth-fire body-refining techniques and matching body-refining methods that are more suitable for ordinary wizard apprentices to practice. After the body-refining specialty class is opened, I can put this body-refining technique on the points exchange list..."

“Hehehe, by then, those ordinary body-refining wizards will practice the Earth Fire Body Refining Technique, while wizard apprentices with aspirations or special talents can learn this high-threshold body-refining method. It can be said that they will not delay either…”

Lucian's lips curled up slightly, and then he looked at the wizard Saoud who was sipping his drink and smiled. "I think I feel the sincerity from Winterhold, so everything is settled, Wizard Saoud?"

Saud, who was waiting for Lucian to bargain, was stunned for a moment when he saw Lucian's outstretched right hand.

It went so smoothly! So smoothly that the verbal battles and bargaining that he had expected did not even occur!
"It seems... he really didn't find any problems. Those problems I considered before seemed to be just scaring myself." Saud laughed at himself in his heart, feeling that he was too nervous just now, as if he was facing a great enemy.

"That's what I expected." Wizard Saood smiled and shook hands with Lucian's outstretched right hand.

Both of them were smiling at this time, but their smiles seemed a little stiff and superficial.

"That wizard Saood... seems to be thinking of something bad in his mind." Carly, who was watching from the sidelines, had a hint of unkindness in her eyes when she looked at the wizard Saood, but when she saw Lucian's equally insincere smile, Carly's eyes narrowed slightly.

“But if he tries to play tricks with Lucian, he will definitely suffer a great loss, hehehe…”

……

"I'm back..." On the deck of another airship carrying wizard apprentices, Monica looked at the gray walls of the Gray Bone Academy and felt a lot of emotions in her heart.

She lowered her head slightly and looked at the cross badge on her chest.

"Healer... is also a very good route!" Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Monica's face. She clenched her fists lightly, but her eyes no longer looked lazy like before.

The next moment, she couldn't help but look at Sally, whose face was still a little pale, and asked, "Sally, do you really want to go to that class?"

"It's hard to say whether I can be selected." Sally shook her head slightly, but her expression seemed very calm.

Monica thought of the class Sally had signed up for, and her expression became a little tangled. She wanted to persuade her good friend to change her mind while she still had a chance. "But..."

"I'm different from you, Monica." Sally smiled, but her eyes looked serious and earnest. "My dream is to become a wizard, a real wizard. So, even if there are difficulties and unexpected dangers, I'm not afraid, I even enjoy it."

"I want to see the scenery at a higher level, to see what the realm above the formal wizard is like, and what kind of differences and changes there will be. For this dream, what does it matter if I touch some dangers now? What's more, Gray Bone Academy also gives us the right to choose independently. As long as I can be selected, I can get better resources and better training."

"It's just competition. I'm not afraid!" Sally's tone was so firm that Monica beside her couldn't help but be slightly distracted.

"Perhaps this is the best option for you." Monica hesitated for a moment, but still stretched out her hand, "Then... let's work together."

"Of course, after all, you are my best friend in Graybone Academy." Sally hesitated for a moment, but still extended her hand with a sincere smile on her face. "But if you become a great healer, when I get hurt, you can't refuse to help me with my treatment, hahaha..."

"Sure." Monica couldn't help but slightly increase the strength of her grip on Sally's right hand, as if to show her determination to turn things around.

Sally raised her head and looked into the distance, her mood becoming excited.

Dangerous? Perhaps, but this will also be the most exciting embellishment on her journey as a wizard.
