Chapter 22 Sally's Style: This is the most outstanding genius she has ever mentored.
"Mhm," Leo replied perfunctorily. "She actually recognizes you, so she must remember you well. But don't forget why you're here."
"Of course I haven't forgotten!"
Chris stammered, "I want to buy elephant trunk leaves..."
The elves have excellent hearing.
Chris stammered, but she wrote it all down: "Okay, these are relatively inexpensive herbs, requiring only 7 magic stone fragments."
Leo also mentioned the herbs he wanted to buy.
The elf quickly brought the herbs for the two of them.
Leo pondered for a moment but did not buy the herbs.
After buying the magic stones, Chris left the Woodpecker's Hut with Leo's help.
Back at the Esmond Gathering, Leo went to his mentor's office.
However, Sally wasn't there; only Tesla was.
After a slight hesitation, Leo approached Tesla and said, "Master Tesla, I have some questions I'd like to ask you. Do you have a moment now?"
Upon hearing this, Tesla looked up and said, "Yes, go ahead and ask."
Leo asked, "Tesla Wizard, have you heard of the Knights? I'd like to know what the Knights are."
Tesla nodded and said, "This is an organization similar to our Tower of Dawn, but they only recruit knights."
"The knight's breathing technique is similar to our wizard's meditation technique, but our status as wizards is unshakeable. Even the best knights can hardly pose a threat to wizards."
Leo asked, "What about the sea monster?"
"Sea monster is a very general term," Tesla said. "Marine creatures are incredibly diverse, and some of the most powerful of them can even pose a threat to us wizards."
"It depends on what kind of marine creature it is before we can assess whether it poses a threat to the wizard."
"Some sea monsters even possess civilizations that are no less advanced than those of wizards."
"Thank you for your guidance," Leo said.
Tesla asked, "You suddenly asked about the Knights and sea monsters. Did you encounter a mission from the Knights to exterminate sea monsters?"
Leo affirmed, "That's right."
Tesla said, "Besides wizards and wizard buddings like you, our Tower of Dawn will also welcome some overseas forces and organizations. The Knights are one of them."
"The Knights obtain the flesh, blood, and fruits of monsters from various places to aid their training."
"In order to obtain these things more easily, they will have closer interactions and connections with mortal kingdoms."
"However, the knights often encounter powerful beasts or plants that are beyond their reach, and at such times they hire us wizards to help them deal with them. They provide magic stones in exchange for the corpses, flesh, and fruits of these monsters."
Hearing this, Leo frowned, his eyes narrowing slightly, and asked in confusion, "Master Tesla, since the Knights have such close ties with mortal kingdoms, why haven't I heard of them before?"
"Because of the Tower of Dawn, the Knights cannot intervene on the Twin Continents side."
Leo suddenly realized and said, "I see."
Tesla thought for a moment and said, "As long as you are strong enough, I think taking on these missions is also a way to obtain magic stones."
Leo suddenly realized and said, "Tesla Wizard, I encountered a knightly order. They're offering 50 magic stones to hire a wizard to help them fight the sea monster. I'm considering whether to accept the mission."
Tesla frowned slightly upon hearing this and said, "50 magic stones? Knights usually offer between 5 and 10 magic stones to subdue dangerous creatures."
"50 magic stones...that's probably a rather dangerous sea monster to hunt."
Tesla paused here, then gently placed his hand on the table, leaving a slight corrosion mark. He said, "Danville, do you know how to do this?"
Leo nodded.
Tesla said, "That's no problem. This is essential if you want to accept the Knight's commission to hunt sea monsters."
Leo thought for a moment and asked, "Master Tesla, if I can't improve my combat skills in a short time, but want to increase my chances of survival when facing danger, is there any way to cope temporarily?"
Tesla pondered for a moment, then said, "You can buy items related to Magia. Magia items cover a wide range of aspects, and some of the cheaper Magia items can provide a decent chance of survival."
"Thank you for your guidance."
Not long after Leo left, Sally returned to her mentor's office.
Tesla said, "Witch Sally, Danville came here just now and asked me about the Knights and the sea monster. He's probably thinking of taking on the Knights' mission."
Sally frowned upon hearing this.
Tesla continued, "The reward for the mission is 50 magic stones. Although I believe it's a mission he can handle, even if there's real danger, Danville might still choose to take it. His Protoss bloodline guides him. The yearning for battle is an irresistible inner impulse for any Protoss."
Sally said firmly, "No, Danville is different. Judging from his performance, I still believe that he is more receptive to our Dawn Tower's philosophy, which centers on learning knowledge, than to fighting."
Tesla shook his head slightly and said, "Let's hope so."
With Leo's potion-making talent on display, Sally believed that as long as he focused on the path of potion-making, he could earn enough tuition to continuously conduct research on the truth, instead of taking on dangerous, high-paying missions like other untalented wizarding buddies in order to obtain enough magic stones.
The colors in Sally's eyes flickered uncertainly.
As the first batch of freshmen she taught during her teaching assistant career, almost all of Sally's achievements in that first year were attributed to Leo alone.
If Leo were to die unexpectedly, Sally would suffer a great loss.
It could even directly delay her teaching assistant career by a year.
A genius with talent in mental strength, magical hand, and potion-making... Sally really couldn't guarantee that she would encounter such an outstanding student in her future teaching assistant career.
in the room.
Leo's eyes flickered as he pondered whether he should accept the knights' mission.
According to the wizard Tesla, this quest for 50 magic stones would obviously be quite difficult.
At times like these, taking a steady and methodical approach, gradually delving into potion-making, and joining a reputable research lab is undoubtedly a path to becoming a powerful wizard step by step.
However, Leo felt that this path was still too slow.
Leo shook his head, realizing that he was still more adventurous at heart.
Moreover, 50 magic stones is no small sum.
With so many magic stones, Leo had plenty of money and could buy more materials for potion making and research.
Next to the woodpecker's hut, there are recruitment banners for the knights.
Leo stepped forward and said, "Sir Eiffel, I would like to take on this sea monster hunting mission."
Upon hearing this, Eiffel smiled and said, "Thank you for taking on this mission. The merchants and fishermen at sea will certainly thank you for your actions today."
Leo said, "Sir Eiffel, although I agree to take on this mission, there are two conditions. If you cannot accept them, then I regret to inform you that I must abandon this mission."
Eiffel frowned and said, "Lord Danville, what kind of conditions are you asking?"
"The first condition is that if I judge that this sea monster is more dangerous than I imagined, then I will abandon this mission."
"No problem," Eiffel said. "If you were forced to do something dangerous, it would just be a pointless sacrifice of a precious life."
Eiffel spoke with righteous indignation, displaying the demeanor of a true knight.
Leo said, "The second condition is that you must pay me 10 magic stones in advance. If I determine that this task is not something I can complete, I will return the 10 magic stones to you."
Upon hearing Leo's second condition, which was related to magic stones, Eiffel hesitated for a moment before saying, "Okay. Shall I pay the 10 magic stones now?"
"Now."
Eiffel handed 10 magic stones directly to Leo.
Leo examined the magic stones in his hand; they were of good quality.
Leo asked, "When will you set off to hunt down the sea monster?"
