Chapter 20 Excellent people can always wait for opportunities.
Mark saw determination in Sol's eyes.
Although I don’t know how a newcomer who just became an apprentice decided to transform the witchcraft body the next day.
You must know that he hesitated for a whole month before taking the knife to his own hands.
But now, Mark can see a certain value in Sol.
To be able to escape from the midnight laboratory, the other party is definitely not an ordinary newcomer.
Either he has the ability or he has a backer.
"Then you can copy it first. This book is very straightforward. If you still want to study in depth after reading it, you can come to the laboratory to find me. I will be here this month." Such a gentle senior Mark
, The other two newcomers in the laboratory were shocked.
"Thank you, Senior Mark."
Sol sat down again. He didn't have much time, and he had to race against time to copy the book.
Mark left space for Saul and walked to the other side of the laboratory.
At this time, Ankita, who had been observing for a long time, picked up the book in front of her and walked up to Mark with a sweet smile.
"Senior, when I was learning how to construct runes today, there were a few places where I failed. Can you teach me, senior?" Angela put her
book against her chin, trying to show her cute side as much as possible.
"Of course," Mark smiled, "10 magic crystals, or 2 credits."
The surprise that had just risen in Angela's eyes quickly extinguished.
She only has dozens of magic crystals on her body, how could she spend them just by asking a few questions?
"I, I'd better think about it myself."
Angela quickly returned to her seat and lowered her head deeply, for fear of seeing the mocking eyes of others.
She thought she could only find a chance to ask Instructor Kaz, but her and Duke's performance yesterday did not seem to satisfy Instructor Kaz.
I wonder if the other party will come to the laboratory today?
"Green's Cognition of Shaman Body Transformation" is not thick, with only more than a hundred pages, and it is not a printed version, so it does not have many words in total.
When transcribing, Saul also skipped some useless interjections, extracted only the essential information and took reading notes.
But for a newcomer who has only been in school for two days, it is still more difficult than he imagined to fully understand this book.
Sol was not polite and went to Mark to inquire with the book in hand.
From the change in the other party's attitude, Saul could somewhat tell that the other party was deliberately trying to compensate him.
Don't know why.
Did Sol successfully survive and make the other party fearful, or did Fan Da take action and Mark knew about it?
No matter what the reason is, Sol should take the opportunity to get some reward without delay.
With Mark's help in summarizing knowledge points, Sol's transcribing speed was greatly improved. He is absolutely sure that he will copy down all the important contents of the book before noon tomorrow.
In this way, 2 magic crystal flowers are not a waste.
Instructor Kaz appeared after 3:30 again.
It's just that he kept frowning, as if he was thinking about some difficult problem.
Duke, who was about to step forward to ask questions, was blocked back.
Only then did the two newcomers understand why other apprentices would not come to the laboratory to ask questions.
The patient explanation on the first day seems to be just a deceptive opening. When you are introduced, its true indifference is immediately revealed.
Duke failed to find a sense of superiority from Sol again, and looked a little flustered, and his secret glances at Sol became more complicated.
But no one expected that after Instructor Kaz had been thinking sadly for a while in the laboratory, he would suddenly walk up to Saul.
"Mentor?" Mark thought Kaz was coming to see him, so he stood up nervously.
Unexpectedly, Kaz stood in front of Thor and said, "You follow me."
Sol was surprised at first, and then happy.
Yesterday, Duke and Angela were taken away, and he was left behind, which was equivalent to being given up by his mentor, but today his mentor actually thought of him again.
What made him change his mind?
Sol quickly packed up his books and followed Kaz quietly.
They walked down the slope of the East Tower. Occasionally they met apprentices on the road, and would avoid them and go to both sides of the road, bowing their heads in salute.
As a new apprentice, Thor had not been to the lower floors of the East Tower.
The lower floors of the west tower are the residences of the housekeeper and servants, and the first floor at the bottom is a garbage dump.
Sol used to bring the garbage he received when cleaning the corridors back to the utility room, and someone would clean and move it regularly. He had never been to a garbage dump, so he didn't know what kind of place it was.
I only heard that the servants who went there were all old servants with many years of experience, and each of them had an eccentric personality and hardly interacted with outsiders.
The further he went down, the dimmer the lights in the corridor became. Sol kept his head lowered and followed Instructor Kaz closely, looking in without curiosity.
But he silently counted the layers in his mind.
9,
8,
7,
...
2!
On the countdown to two, Kaz suddenly turned around and led him into this level.
At the entrance to the second floor, there was a big man who seemed to weigh more than 200 pounds, leaning on the wall and sitting motionless on the ground.
Most of the entire corridor was blocked.
Kaz led Thor through the remaining gap, but the big man still didn't respond.
Not two steps away there was a red wooden door.
Kaz pushed the door open and the door panel made a harsh creaking sound.
As soon as Thor followed in, a pungent stench mixed with the smell of blood penetrated his nostrils.
Thor immediately held his breath and looked up at the mentor in front of him.
Instructor Kaz seemed to have no nose, his expression did not change at all, and he stayed in the center of the room.
The walls around this room were coated with pale powder. There were words that Thor didn't recognize written on it like graffiti.
Fortunately, although these words seemed a bit confusing, they did not make Thor feel dizzy.
In the center of the room is a conveyor belt extending from the wall.
The entrance is blocked by black leather tassels, making it impossible to see inside.
There is a long table next to the conveyor belt, and the table is filled with various square boxes of different sizes.
These boxes are all open at the moment, with nothing inside, but there are some unknown sticky items stained on the edges and corners.
Clusters of fingertip-sized mushrooms grew outside some boxes.
There are some tools like hammers and chisels hanging on the side of the table.
There is also a large box on wheels placed under the long table. The mouth of the box was also open, and the inner wall was stained with dark red and almost black traces.
That box seemed to be the source of the stench and blood smell in the house.
Near the inner wall, there is a table and two chairs. The chairs were pulled out haphazardly.
There are many books stacked on the table, as well as scattered single pages of paper, an dumped pen holder, and pens that rolled along the pen holder to the ground.
"The first and second floors of the east tower are rooms where corpses are placed. This is the second floor."
Corpse?
Sol pursed his lips, suddenly having associations with all the scenes he had just seen.
"If you are qualified for the job here, you can get 3 credits every month."
Saul raised his head quickly.
It is written in the apprentice's handbook that one credit can be exchanged for ten magic crystals, and the credits have more uses. On the contrary, ten magic crystals cannot be exchanged for one credit!
Thor couldn't help it, and the words "I want, I can, I can" in his mouth were about to push away his teeth and lips and come out on their own.
But he suddenly thought of Angela and Duke yesterday. Were they also brought here? However, they did not meet Kaz's requirements, so they returned to the laboratory again today?
"What do you need me to do?" Thor tried his best to sound calm and well-behaved.
"Dispose of the alienated corpse." Kaz said, pulling off a wrench next to the teleportation platform.
The conveyor belt started rolling, and soon, a fresh corpse broke through the black leather tassel and turned to the two of them.
Saul can actually guess that he will definitely do work related to corpses. But when the real corpse appeared in front of him, he still couldn't help but turn pale and took two steps back.
The body tied to the conveyor belt was covered with a piece of black leather, and the face was not damaged and was exposed outside the leather.
Sol recognized at a glance that this person was actually the new apprentice that Keli had mentioned, who cut his legs into pieces and buried them in the flower bed yesterday!
