"Why?""A good look at me will answer that question," Acheron spoke calmly with a smile on his face.William took Acheron's words to heart and began to examine him in detail. Everything that had just happened had happened so quickly that he hadn't paid much attention, but now he saw something different as well.The eyes of Acheron were just as sharp as his own. It looked like a sword, ready to be drawn at any moment. As if he could cut you if you took a step closer.When William realized this, his eyes widened. He had seen Acheron before, but he had never thought of it this way. Now that he also had Sword Intent, he could easily see this and found the answer to his own question.William calmed down and hid the surprise on his face. Acheron also had sword intent, but that didn't mean he was any better. Besides, he had no plans to change teachers at this time. Alyna was very kind to him and very free. He knew that if he became Acheron's disciple, he could go on permanent missions and wo
William also saw Zion returning from his mission on his way to Alyna's room. The two chatted quickly and congratulated each other. Zion had successfully completed his mission to take down a gang, but there was still no word from Erika. In Zion's estimation, if Erika was not heard from for another month, Alyna would open a mission for her and send Zion on that mission.William continued on his way and saw that the door to Alyna's room was open. Alyna was reading a book inside, and when she saw William coming, she closed the book."Welcome William, have you come to clear the purgatory energy in your body?" Alyna asked tenderly.William bowed and then spoke with a smile. "No, Master. I don't want to clear the purgatory energy. I want to let it stay in my body a little longer and study it. It will get better on its own, albeit slowly. I don't think it's a problem for me.""Okay, as you wish. But you should be careful. The energy of Purgatory, though it is powerful, is also dangerous. I as
William's mission was to create a potion. To complete this mission, William had to complete the potion by successfully combining the potion formula with the ingredients he was given.The formula for this potion was taken from the ruins and had never been tried by anyone. This was because the potion didn't have much of an effect, only paralyzing the person or creature who used on it for a few minutes.The person who gave this mission was a third-rank apprentice named Cabal. He had heard of Cabal. He had fought with apprentices from other towers several times before and had won. He was also rumoured to be strong. He was a disciple of a mage William didn't know, and he was skilled in dark magic. He didn't know why he wanted this potion, but he didn't care. What he cared about was that the potion was new to him and challenged him.He quickly contacted the obelisk, and the Cabal said he was in the refectory.After William took the mission, he went to the refectory to meet the Cabal. He fou
William finished making the potion with all the ingredients. He made no mistakes and extracted five potions from each set, which was an excellent success rate, but would have left a lot of profit in his pocket. Of course, this mission had a reward, and that reward was one hundred soul stones.Besides the reward, he only had to give the mission giver one bottle of the potion he had made. In this room, he had fourteen bottles of potion left. Moreover, since he had bought the formula, he could say it was very profitable. Of course, not every potion experiment would be as successful as this one. Most potion formulas had missing ingredients, and it certainly wouldn't be that easy.On the twentieth day, William finished preparing all the potions and pocketed fourteen paralyzing potions. An hour later, he met with the Cabal and gave them the potion and the scroll containing the formula. After the Cabal smiled happily and confirmed that the transaction was complete, he left.There was enough
William had a smile on his face as he walked out the door. Normally, such helpless people looked like two-dimensional characters in his eyes. He thought that he would probably never see the two people he helped again in his lifetime. He felt that as one of the ordinary side quests, just like in the games, it would stay in a corner of his brain as a daily, mundane event.But his thoughts changed the next day when he went to do another potion mission. Mura and his wife Elle, who had learned her name that day, were waiting for him in front of the obelisk. They had invited William to dinner and wanted to be friends. William couldn't say no, and they soon became friends. In fact, in just a few days, friendship deepened much faster than William expected.William learned a lot from Elle in particular. He was an apprentice who had excelled in the arrays. The two made a perfect pair, as Mura was also very skilled in combat. Elle was especially good at sequences that could trap enemies, restric
" Master, I have come to ask for help."William's words stirred something in Alyna. Her always fixed and expressionless face melted with William's words." Pft ... Hahahahahahahahahaha!" At first, she tried to hold back, but after a while, she couldn't and burst out laughing. After a while she continued to laugh, holding her stomach.He couldn't understand her condition and her sudden smile, but soon he was ashamed to understand the reason."So it finally occurred to you that you have a master." After Alyna stopped laughing and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, she spoke. William acted as if he were a nominal disciple whom she saw once in a while. However, he could ask most questions freely. She knew that William knew that, but she didn't understand why he was so distant and aloof, especially lately.Erika and Zion, spent time here all the time, asking questions freely.William soon felt a little embarrassed. He tilted his head slightly and spoke in a lower voice."Sorry,
William looked at Zion after Zion's confession and showed a disgusted expression."He rolled his eyes again and said, "I'm not interested in men.Zion immediately tried to rectify the situation. "No, no, I didn't mean it like that...""Please, let's end this conversation now. I told you, I'm not interested in men." William raised a hand and waved it from side to side, showing he wasn't interested in body language either. William was joking, of course. To pursue the subject would make Zion even angrier, and that would make him even more amused."Oh no, I am misunderstood. I said that because you acquired this potion formula." Zion spoke with a helpless look on his face. He even approached and tried to get his hand close to William's shoulder, but William took a few steps back." Hahahaha, I'm kidding. It's not important. As apprentice brothers, we must help each other."Although those words came out of William's mouth, his heart thought otherwise. The value of the two was incomparable,
Time passed much faster than William had expected. Moreover, contrary to his expectations, it took him nine months to finish all the books in the library. The ability to read faster and understand what he had acquired after becoming a mage was at a level that amazed him.Of course, during this time, he not only read books but also made his life more organized and continued his daily training. As for his meditation, he showed a more practical and faster growth since he switched to the Crimson Flame Meditation Technique. At that time, he was at the peak of the apprentice rank.Today, he had just come from his master Alyna. The reason he went to Alyna was because of the [Virgin's Desire] potion, which pushed him into this period of self-correction. In the process, he gave her everything he had learned about this potion, the materials he had developed, and all his theories in a small book.Alyna was delighted to see this, and after a quick glance, she looked at William in disbelief.
