Chapter 25: Choosing a Mentor

The book was flipping rapidly, and Morin narrowed his eyes slightly as he scanned the pages quickly.

"Charles, a formal wizard, is good at spiritual studies, negative energy neutralization, and alchemy. Requirements: Apprentices must participate in witchcraft experiments once every two weeks..."

"Edward, a formal wizard, specializing in shadow magic, anatomy, and high-energy plasticity. Requirements: Apprentices can receive free advanced subject knowledge and three free magic stones, but must participate in the dissection of their bodies by the instructor..."

"Adrian, officially, proficient in dark witchcraft, pharmacy, mutation, and planting. Requirements: the apprentice must help clean and take care of special potion materials every month, and go to special places to help collect materials every once in a while..."

"Hogg is a wizard who is good at planting, mutation, and anatomy. He requires apprentices to collect specific materials and cooperate with the experiment at least once..."

Mo Lin watched slowly, his expression gradually becoming gloomy.

He really didn't expect that everything would be so serious. The mentors had to meet various requirements when accepting apprentices. It was not free at all.

"Very good, following the principle of equal exchange, this look, this style, really worthy of a wizard." Morin whispered to himself.

Snapped!

The book was closed at once. Hegel took the book and looked at Morin with a sly smile. He said, "Well, young wizard seed, the time is up. So, have you made your choice? Do you want to read it for a while longer?"

Maureen closed her eyes slightly.

"Chip, what's going on?"

"Ding!"

"Analysis completed."

"After screening all the information and removing all the false and misleading information, the one with the best conditions and the highest cost-effectiveness is Adrian!"

"Adrian?" Maureen whispered to himself, thinking of the subjects that Adrian was good at, pharmacy and dark shadow witchcraft.

That's right. Compared with other wizards, although Adrian's conditions are also abnormal, they are already very good and much more relaxed. Moreover, Maureen has a chip, which has a great advantage in learning. It will be very good for him to study pharmacy in the future.

Moreover, the dark shadow witchcraft that Adrian is good at is also in line with Maureen's own elemental affinity.

Morin made a decision quickly. He looked at Hegel and said, "Master Hegel, I have decided to choose Wizard Adrian as my mentor."

"Adrian... Adrian?" Hegel smacked his lips, a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he had thought of something, and did not speak.

Then he reacted, looked at Morin, chuckled, and said, "Choose Adrian. Well, young wizard seed, do you want to become a pharmacist? This is a good idea, but it's not that simple."

Morin didn't say anything, but he couldn't help but frowned.

"Young wizard seed, don't get excited." Hegel smiled and said, "Everyone knows that becoming a pharmacist requires a huge initial investment, but once you can make potions yourself, you won't be short of magic stones in the future. You know, every pharmacist has a very rich fortune, so there are many people who want to become pharmacists, especially those from wizard families."

"It's not just pharmacy, even the long-lost alchemy and enchantment are the same. Hehe, people always want to get rich rewards, this is normal."

"Lord Hegel, what do you mean?" Morin asked.

"It's very simple. There are too many people who want to become pharmacists. So, if you want to become a pharmacist, you must go with other wizard seeds and complete a test set by Adrian. If you pass, then you can become Adrian's apprentice." Hegel shrugged and said, "If you can't pass, then you have to choose a new mentor."

Morin said without much hesitation: "Okay, Master Hegel, I am willing to take the test."

Hegel did not show much surprise. He clapped his hands, and suddenly, a shadow slave appeared at the same place again.

"Follow the shadow slave, Morin, and good luck to you." Hegel's voice came.

Morin smiled at Hegel, but he was not very worried.

You know, when he killed Derrick, he got a book called "Basic Principles of Pharmacy". He has also read it in the past few days. Although he doesn't understand it very deeply, there will be no problem for him to pass Adrian's assessment.

Maureen followed the shadow servant outside. Richard and Aaron beside him looked at Maureen with deep concern and a hint of inexplicable meaning in their eyes.

Morin just smiled and nodded at them, then followed the shadow slave in one direction.

Not long after walking, Morin appeared in an empty hall. There were six or seven wizard seeds in the hall, who were thinking with their eyes closed. When Morin came in, they looked at Morin and then closed their eyes again.

After looking around, Morin leaned against a pillar next to him, closed his eyes and lay motionless.

A few more wizard seeds came in, but they didn't attract much attention.

When there were ten wizard seeds in the hall, a girl in a white gauze dress and with golden hair slowly walked in and stood on the high platform in the middle of the hall.

"I'm Winnie, the apprentice of Master Adrian." Winnie introduced herself and said, "Okay, now there are ten of you, let's start the test."

Then Winnie clapped her hands, and immediately, shadow servants came in carrying test benches one by one.

There are glass bottles, beakers, glass rods, test tubes and other things on the test bench, which are obviously related to medicine.

"Your test is very simple. It is to carry out the separation and melting reaction of starleaf grass and purple sac beetle. Whoever can complete it the fastest and best will be the mentor's apprentice." Winnie pointed to a tube of medicine on the test table and several huge black bugs in the beaker and said lightly.

No one spoke, and the ten wizard seeds in the hall quickly picked up the potions and started to work.

After a while, Maureen's voice was heard soon after.

"Winnie, I'm done."

As Morin spoke, he raised the test tube in his hand, and saw white smoke constantly emitting from the light blue color in the test tube. The test tube also turned slightly red, as if it would explode at any time. Seeing this, Morin just stretched out his finger and flicked it lightly. With a ding, a sharp insect chirp suddenly came from the test tube, as if a bug was screaming constantly.

With a bang, a puff of purple smoke suddenly came out.

The entire test tube suddenly calmed down, and the light blue medicine inside suddenly turned into a deep black, flashing a faint light. Looking closely, it seemed as if there were countless tiny black insects crawling in the liquid.

"Very good, absolutely perfect." Winnie looked at the test tube in Maureen's hand, her eyes lit up slightly.

She nodded to Morin and said, "Welcome, Morin, the mentor's apprentice."

Maureen smiled.

Since Morin completed the experiment first, the others were naturally eliminated. Morin ignored the resentful looks of the other wizard seeds and followed Winnie outside.

"Molin, the entire Dark Forest is divided into many areas, including living areas, experimental areas, accommodation areas, teaching areas, communication areas, etc. There are some areas you cannot go to. You just arrived, so you must pay attention, otherwise there will be big problems."

Winnie talked to Maureen as they walked.

"By the way, that's the restaurant. You can taste the delicacies from various principalities, but it costs a lot of money. Of course, magic stones are more popular. By the way, that's the accommodation area..." Winnie kept introducing it to Morin.

Maureen looked around and listened to Winnie's introduction without saying a word, but secretly let the chip record everything Winnie said.

After walking for a while, they finally stopped outside a gorgeous room.

"Maureen, the tutor is inside." Winnie said, and walked up and knocked on the door gently.

Maureen stood behind Winnie, looking ahead quietly.
