Wizard: I use my omniscience to interpret the truth.

Chapter 178 Collection

Upon hearing Daphne's words, Byron's face showed a hint of embarrassment. He hadn't expected Daphne to still remember those words.

Byron chuckled twice, looking at Daphne's pouting, aggrieved expression, and then spoke.

"Don't worry, Daphne, I definitely didn't lie to you this time. Do you believe me?"

Upon hearing this, Daphne nodded quickly, her face sincere, tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes, and said:

Daphne, of course, believed her master's words!

Byron smiled and nodded: "In that case, Daphne and WALL-E, just stay in the lab and wait for me to come back."

"Furthermore, Daphne must not slack off while I'm away. She must cultivate diligently. I also want Daphne to come into the lab to help me and lighten my workload in the future."

"Don't worry, Master, Daphne will be a good girl and wait for you to return in the lab!"

Daphne nodded, her face showing a determined expression as she spoke.

"And Master, Daphne has been working hard to learn and practice the knowledge you brought back. She hasn't been lazy before, and she won't be in the future."

"Daphne will never slack off on anything her master asks her to do. During the time her master is away, Daphne will work hard and give her master a huge surprise when he returns."

Seeing Daphne's expression, Byron reached out and ruffled her hair vigorously, laughing as he spoke.

"Then I'll wait for the surprise Daphne has in store for me."

"Don't worry, Master."

Afterwards, Byron spoke with Daphne for a while and also gave Wally some instructions before disappearing down the road under their watchful eyes.

Looking in the direction Byron had left, Daphne's initial excitement instantly turned somber, and the smile on her face vanished, replaced by deep worry and disappointment.

Seeing Daphne's change in expression, WALL-E surprisingly spoke up.

"Daphne, since you are so worried and disappointed, why don't you show it to your master and try to persuade him to stay, or ask him to take you with him?"

"Why are you suppressing your emotions in the background? What you're showing your master isn't the emotion you want to express. Aren't you deceiving your master and yourself?"

When Daphne heard WALL-E's question, she didn't give him a long explanation; she just gave a few casual words in a low voice.

"WALL-E, although Master knows what I'm thinking and understands my emotions, I cannot allow Master to be affected in the slightest because of me, not even the slightest bit. That is absolutely unacceptable."

As she said this, Daphne's eyes remained fixed on the disappearing light of Byron, and there were some things she kept to herself, which she did not explain to WALL-E.

She knew in her heart that if she begged her master a little longer and pestered him a little more, he might give in, and she could do what she did last time when she entered the laboratory to help her master.

However, she couldn't do that, because she knew that her current strength would not only fail to help her master, but would also bring him unnecessary burdens.

If she caused her master's injury because of her own actions, then she would truly have no face to continue living in this world.

Daphne asked as she looked in the direction Byron had disappeared.

"WALL-E, do you think Master will come back safely? I hope Master won't get hurt on this mission and can come back safely."

This question seems to be directed at WALL-E, but from another perspective, it can also be seen as a question asked and answered by himself.

After saying this, Daphne stopped standing there staring blankly in the direction Byron had disappeared, and instead turned and walked towards the laboratory.

Wally looked at Daphne's actions with confusion and asked, "Daphne, why did you go back so early? Usually, if Master leaves for even a short while, you stand there and watch for ages."

"Now that the master is leaving for so long, you're just going to look for a little while, won't you take another look?"

Daphne's voice was soft but firm: "No, I need to go back to my studies and spiritual practice."

"I don't want to be like this again next time my master faces something like this, where I can only stay in the back by myself and be protected by my master."

"I want to stand with my master and help him, even if I can only help in the slightest, I'll be content as long as I can!"

After she finished speaking, Daphne disappeared from WALL-E's sight and returned to the laboratory.

Watching the door slowly close, a rare look of confusion appeared on WALL-E's usually expressionless face: "Alone? What about me?"

After leaving the laboratory, Byron followed the college's instructions and headed towards the college's main square.

Before long, when Byron arrived at the square, there were already about twenty people standing there.

Apart from Dylan, Eliza, and a few others who purchased their spots from him, the others likely obtained their spots from the academy.

Byron was sizing up the crowd standing in the square, and the people in the square, of course, also noticed Byron's presence and were looking him over.

However, most people glanced at Byron once and then looked away.

After all, one should show due respect to a master wizard apprentice who is at the same level as oneself.

Upon seeing Byron appear, Dylan and the others, who had arrived at the square as soon as they received the message from the academy, also waved and smiled at Byron.

Looking at Dylan and the others waving at him, Byron's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

When did Eliza meet Dylan and the others? Could it be that she also joined the Sunfall Council?

At that moment, Eliza was standing with Dylan and the others. A smile bloomed on her fair face as she looked at herself, and like Dylan and the others, she waved for him to come over.

Seeing their actions, Byron didn't hesitate and took a step towards where Dylan and the others were.

"Byron, you're really something! I don't remember it being just a few years since we last met, and you've already advanced to become a Limitless Wizard Apprentice. That's astonishing!"

Upon seeing Byron approaching, Dylan couldn't help but scrutinize him from head to toe, exclaiming in amazement as he did so.

Upon hearing Dylan's words, Byron was about to say something modest, but Loris, who was standing next to him, burst into laughter first.

"Alina, I didn't expect you to be so good with words. What you say is the truth. Your junior has really advanced to become a Limit Wizard Apprentice and is now on the same level as you."

As she spoke, Loris put her arm around Alina's shoulder.

But before she could even touch Alina's shoulder, Alina raised her hand and slapped her away.

Alina rolled her eyes at Loris, annoyed. "So what? Even if Byron is on the same level as me, he's still my junior."

"Besides, do you even have a junior classmate who can compare to Byron? You still have the nerve to talk about me like that? I'm embarrassed for you."
