Count of Wizards

Chapter 27 Poor Worm (_)

Hearing Reyes' words, Connor was stunned as if struck by lightning!

Reyes knew he had become a wizard's apprentice! I know the connection between myself and Valverde!

Taking a deep breath, Connor recovered from his stunned state. He looked solemnly at his smiling mentor, and reached out his hand to take the notebook.

"Thank you, mentor!" Feeling the texture of the notes, Connor said in a deep voice:

With a chuckle, Reyes shook his head, took out two red wine glasses from the desk drawer, and poured the red wine on the desk into it, "Connor, this is the red wine from my winery. I prepared it specially for you, for this moment! Taste it!"

Seeing the bright red liquid in the red wine glass, Connor picked it up slowly, he was not worried about what Reyes put in the wine, because Reyes didn't need that, the idiom he had explained to Vidal " "Man is a knife and I am a fish" is also applicable at this moment.

It's just that Connor has changed from a knife that cuts whatever he wants to meat, and Reyes has become a knife. Although Kang An has now become a junior wizard apprentice, because the time is too short, Vidal confessed Connor hasn't learned the spell of corrosive acid yet, and his strength hasn't grown much.

"Cheers! For tomorrow!" Reyes raised his glass and suggested with a smile:

"For tomorrow!" Connor forced a smile on his face and toasted Reyes.

"clang!"

"How's the taste of the red wine in my winery?" Looking at Connor who was absent-minded and drank the red wine in one gulp, Reyes asked with interest:

"The entrance is mellow and strong, and there is a hint of fruit and oak in the fine tasting. Congratulations to the teacher for having such a good winery!" Connor praised with a smile, but in fact, he is now using the mood to taste red wine. ? Just swallow it in your stomach!

Hearing Connor's compliment, Reyes pointed at Connor and laughed dumbfoundedly.

"Connor, I know you have a lot of doubts and puzzles in your heart. This is very normal. I have given you a gift and drunk the wine. Now, as your mentor, I will start to answer your doubts!"

"The first question, why do I know you became a wizard? Actually, the reason is very simple, I am also a wizard. And now I have walked a long time on this road than you!" With a smile like that, Reyes said:

Connor didn't speak, but just looked at Reyes quietly. Connor was not surprised that Reyes was also a wizard. He had expected that Reyes was a wizard, but now it was Reyes Just confirmed it with my own mouth.

Seeing that Connor didn't speak, Reyes smiled, pointed to the note in Connor's hand and said, "Connor, you must have noticed that this note is the note of the detective Valverde you were looking for. The professional conduct of this detective is really very bad! So in light of that, I let him get the punishment he deserved! '

"The magical item I gave you, the Sun Emblem, is called a magical item in the world of wizards. The Gwendelyn Emblem is a work I refined when I was young. The last time we met, you asked for my help. I knew you were in trouble, this Valverde is a mortal, but he is as cunning as a fox in the forest, so I helped you get rid of him!"

Connor secretly sighed in his heart, Valverde's "suicide" was caused by Reyes, a powerful wizard, then everything will be clear.

Raising his head, Connor looked at Reyes and said solemnly: "Mentor, you have done so much for me. How can I repay you?"

Glancing at Connor with admiration, Reyes said bluntly: "In the world of wizards, in the pursuit of truth, equivalent exchange is an eternal law, so I also have a request for you, that is-inherit my Mantle!"

The answer given by Reyes immediately made Connor's facial expression a little weird. He hesitated and asked in a low voice, "Why me?"

"Why you? This is a good question for you, but in fact I don't know why it is you, maybe this is the arrangement of fate!" Reyes said with self-deprecation:

"It's time for Connor to make a decision, Connor Ferguson, are you willing to be my disciple of Reyes?" Reyes restrained the smile on his face, and said in a solemn tone:

"I am willing!" Without any hesitation, Connor said immediately, although Reyes put the reason on the illusory fate, but to Reyes, Connor couldn't say "No!"

"Very good! Connor, as your guide on the path of pursuing the truth, I announce that Connor, you have now officially entered the world of wizards!" Without too much red tape, Connor became Reyes disciple.

"Tell me about Connor, what do wizards look like in your impression?" Reyes asked with a smile:

Without immediately answering Reyes' question, Connor thought for a while, and finally spit out two words: "Mysterious! Powerful!"

"Is that all?" Reyes raised his eyebrows and continued to ask:

This time Connor didn't hesitate, and nodded directly. Apart from being mysterious and powerful, Connor really lacked knowledge of wizards.

"From Connor's point of view, wizards are wonderful in your heart! But as your mentor, I must tell you that you are too idealistic!" Reyes' self-deprecating color appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Wizards are Believers of the truth are a symbol of the extraordinary, but we are poor worms in a vortex of danger and madness!"

Reyes' words echoed in the study and resounded in Connor's mind.

"A poor creature who is always in the vortex of danger and madness? How should I understand the teacher's words?" After a long silence, Connor asked:

Connor was a little surprised by Reyes' concept of wizards. Hearing what Reyes said, becoming a wizard seemed to be fatally dangerous!

"Walking on the road of pursuing the truth, there are many dangers. As long as you are a little careless, you will easily lose control. At the least, you will be mentally abnormal, and your personality will become extremely sensitive and weird. At the worst, you will die directly. For nothing, the worst thing is to completely lose consciousness and become a monster!" Reyes said leisurely:

"Mentor, can you tell me what the dangers are?" Although Reyes said something scary, Connor still didn't have an intuitive feeling for the dangers.

"There are many examples of this, the experiment failed and was polluted, and the quick success and quick profit were eager for quick success when meditating, leading to loss of control..."
