Night has fallen long ago, but the depths of the forest are still busy.
Balls of phosphorus fire floated in the air, emitting a faint green light, illuminating the clearing in the forest.
A young man waved his arms and commanded a group of white skeletons to clear the ground that was originally covered with weeds and trees.
It's like a football field, and it's still expanding.
In the process of work, the decaying white skeleton often breaks down, and the young man is responsible for repairing it.
For example, if the bones of the hands and feet fall off, they need to be reattached. Because the decay is too severe, it is very difficult to reattach them.
In order not to delay the progress of the mission, the young man naturally had to actively carry out repairs, but he was just a young man in the mountains, so how could he know such a secret technique?
Even a real wizard would feel a headache when faced with such a situation.
It's easy to create a summon, but it's more difficult to repair it.
However, this young man who knew nothing took it for granted and used straw ropes and rattans to tie and fix the fallen bones.
It just so happens that this method is really effective.
Those skeletons that were bound by five flowers could actually continue to move freely, working hard to level the land according to the boy's instructions.
The young man worked so hard because he was worried that he would be turned into a skeleton, but he didn't know that the black-robed wizard next to him was amazed.
This mountain boy gave him a lot of surprises.
According to the black-robed wizard's plan, after the boy is used up, he will be released back to the village and the relevant memories will be erased.
But seeing the young man's talent, the wizard suddenly changed his mind.
He felt that the young man's talent should not be buried like this, but should help the other person embark on the path of cultivation.
In the past, for a young man who came from a poor background, his path to spiritual practice was destined to be full of hardships and ups and downs.
It is very possible that after half a lifetime of running around, you will achieve nothing in the end.
As a veteran, the black-robed wizard is far more aware than others of the hardships and difficulties faced by ordinary wizard apprentices.
However, with the opening of the space-time channel, the plane war is about to come, the wizarding world is about to undergo earth-shaking changes, and the original rules are bound to change.
This is a great opportunity. If you can grasp it firmly, it will definitely be possible to soar into the sky.
Apprentices like teenagers who have special talents but have difficulty joining the Wizard Tower are more likely to get ahead.
Thinking of his past, combined with the current situation, the black-robed wizard finally made up his mind.
"Boy, come here."
The black-robed wizard suddenly spoke and greeted the young man.
"My lord, what are your orders?"
The young man's appearance at this time was very much like that of the village chief who was seeking to gain influence. When facing the knight, he was full of humility and respect, not at all as arrogant as usual.
The young man remembered that when the village chief did this, the knight's expression would soften and his tone would no longer be so harsh.
In order to please the wizard, the boy subconsciously imitated it, just to avoid being turned into a skeleton shell.
"hehe……"
Seeing the young man's dog-legged appearance, the black-robed wizard sneered. He always felt that this young man was cunning like a farmer.
Clumsy but careful to please, people know that this is just flattering, but they can't bear to reprimand them too much.
After all, the other party has tried his best to flatter and please.
"I think you seem to have some talent. You should be able to try practicing. I wonder if you are willing?"
If you are a wizard apprentice and understand the hardships of the wizarding world, you will know how rare this opportunity is.
A powerful wizard actually took the initiative to teach cultivation techniques, which was definitely a good thing that could not be found even with a lantern.
Just because in the wizarding world, fair transactions are also emphasized. If you can't pay a satisfactory price, you can never get what you want.
If you expect someone to offer you benefits, it proves that you have not become a true practitioner.
"this……"
Upon hearing the black-robed wizard's question, the young man showed hesitation. He never believed in pie in the sky.
Even once, I picked up a dead rabbit that hit a tree outside the village. It was because he got up to look for food.
What price does this powerful wizard need to pay if he wants to teach him the way to practice?
If you lose your life, even if you beat the young man to death, you will not learn.
"Um?"
Seeing the hesitation on the young man's face, the black-robed wizard was slightly startled. He didn't expect that the young man would still hesitate when he took the initiative to teach his skills.
If it were on a normal day, I am afraid that people would be scratching their heads. How could he behave like a young man?
"You don't want to learn?"
The black-robed wizard asked, with a hint of indifference in his voice.
"I want to learn...but I'm afraid I won't be able to learn."
There are schools in nearby villages, and those who want to study must pay tuition. It is difficult for a young man to support himself alone, so how can he afford to go to school.
When a carpenter in the village recruits an apprentice, he must first pay a apprenticeship ceremony and then work for free for five years.
During this period, he was allowed to be beaten and scolded, and no resistance was allowed, otherwise he would be kicked out.
Learn skills from a blacksmith or hunt from a hunter. No matter which skill you learn, you must pay tuition first, and there are also various demanding requirements.
Compared with the survival skills of these mortals, the wizard's spells are more powerful and cannot be compared with ordinary survival skills.
If you want to learn this skill, you must pay a huge price.
The young man was afraid that he would fall into a pit, so he looked hesitant. In fact, in his heart, he was extremely envious of the wizard's methods.
Hearing the young man's answer, the black-robed wizard was slightly startled, and then chuckled.
"Haha, I forgot. You are so poor that you can't even afford underwear."
Hearing the black-robed wizard's ridicule, the young man's face immediately turned red and he subconsciously crossed his legs.
He did only have one pair of pants, and his butt was exposed.
"It doesn't matter, I can let you borrow the money temporarily, and then pay the tuition back to me when you are able to repay it in the future."
The black-robed wizard thought of himself, who was as embarrassed as a young man back then. Because of the lack of money, it took him a long time to learn a witchcraft.
Compared to his current wealth and strength, the tuition fee back then was just a drop in the bucket, but it almost cut off his path to spiritual practice.
Hearing what the black-robed wizard said, the young man naturally had no reason to hesitate anymore. He knew that this was a rare opportunity, and if he missed it, it would be difficult to meet him again.
"Thank you sir, I am willing to learn!"
The young man quickly knelt down and kowtowed. He remembered that young men in the village had to do this when they were apprentices and apprentices.
As a result, at this moment, he felt a force wrapping around his body, making it impossible for him to kneel on the ground.
"You are not my direct disciple, so there is no need to kneel down to me. It is just an ordinary transaction between us."
The black-robed wizard said softly that he had no intention of recruiting a disciple, even if the young man had a unique talent.
Firstly, it was because of his status and character, and secondly, it was also a time of trouble, and a catastrophe was about to happen.
In this case, it is really not appropriate to add more worries to yourself and avoid trouble as much as possible.
Once you become a master and apprentice, if the young man is in danger, will you save him or not?
But in this kind of world-destroying catastrophe, ordinary people and monks with low strength are the most likely to be swept away.
The waves surge and sweep away countless creatures, all of which will eventually turn into flesh and blood.
Including the black-robed wizard, whether he can withstand such a catastrophe depends on God's will.
