Chapter 93 Birthday Gift
Thor picked up a pair of long black gloves that reached to the elbows from the long table in the corpse room.
This pair of gloves is specially customized. They fit very close to the skin and are very thin. There is no obvious feeling of separation when holding items.
Moreover, the material of the gloves is resistant to dirt and water, and is not easily ignited, making it worthy of the custom price.
Most importantly, it does not affect Thor's spellcasting.
It’s just that it’s a bit difficult to wear.
These perfectly fitting gloves are a pain to put on.
Sol put it on his left hand first.
The glove is very astringent on the inside and does not allow smooth lifting.
At this time, a slender black tentacle stretched out from the back of Thor's neck, flexibly helping Thor open the edge of the glove and helping him put it on smoothly.
"Thank you, Xiaozao."
This strange-looking tentacle was part of the Soul-Eating Demon Swamp that Thor accidentally brought back from the abandoned laboratory under the wizard tower garden.
After several confirmations and information searches, Thor was basically sure that this little tentacle was not too dangerous.
In particular, this tentacle can be removed from the back of his neck with a "bang" sound without leaving any wounds.
Obviously it's not parasitic on him.
After helping Sol put on his gloves, Xiaozao shrank back obediently.
Thor named this tentacle Xiaozao because it did not resemble the huge, terrifying and aggressive black tentacle in the mire, but was similar to the core consciousness of the Soul-Eating Demonic Swamp.
At first, the core consciousness looked like a seaweed dumpling, so Thor simply called it kelp.
Xiaozao is sometimes silly, and sometimes very clever. It has always followed Thor and never showed up when outsiders were around.
Neither the tutor nor the seniors found anything wrong, or they found it but only regarded it as research materials that Saul carried with him. No one disputes this.
The environment in the corpse room was somewhat similar to the environment where Xiaozao originally lived. Xiaozao had gained weight after staying with Saul for the past few days.
With the gloves and the magic circle drawn on the bones, Thor finally no longer has to be careful about the escaping current of Instructor Monica when he is in class.
As soon as Sol put away his things, there was a regular knock on the door.
Before Sol could pass by, Keli's voice came from outside the door.
"Open the door, open the door, it's my birthday!" Keli's voice had no fluctuation, it sounded like "Open the door, open the door, it's time to check the water meter."
As soon as the door opened, Sol saw Keli standing outside the door holding a square box.
"Happy birthday!"
This box looked familiar. Sol turned around and saw the rows of small boxes placed on the console.
Some of them turned their heads without saying anything. Sol reached out and took the box from Keli's hand and invited her in.
People in this world don't seem to have the habit of celebrating birthdays, at least not for wizard apprentices.
After Sol accidentally learned of Keli's birth date, he casually gave him an unknown Reagent No. 1 that he concocted based on his diary.
Thor has created many kinds of nameless reagents like this in the process of exploring the transformation of the witch body, but most of them are useless or even harmful.
The purpose of this No. 1 reagent is to remove certain impurities from the metal and make the metal harder.
He thought Keli, who majored in metallurgy, might be able to use it, so he gave it to her as a gift.
Unexpectedly, this small gift moved Keli very much. She had never received a gift simply to celebrate herself.
She asked Sol's birthday and started celebrating his birthday every year from then on.
The electric field resistance rune that Thor drew on the hand bone was a gift from Keli to him last year.
Quite valuable.
"Is it valuable?" Sol asked casually, putting it on the table and opening it.
"How could the things I gave you be worthless?" Keli crossed her arms, looking forward to Sol's expression after opening the gift.
Sol finally opened the tightly wrapped small box.
There was a piece of cotton cloth stuffed inside the box. When the cotton cloth was lifted, a blue fruit the size of a thumb was revealed.
"This is..." Sol felt familiar at first, but then he finally remembered, "Is this the fruit of a companion flower?" "
Yes." Keli nodded heavily.
"Is it still a fruit that can increase magic value?" Magic value has always been a pain in Thor's heart.
Especially after reaching 45 joules, Thor's speed of increasing magic power was stuck again.
And the blue fruit of a companion flower can help Thor increase his magic power by at least 1 joule.
Unfortunately, the cultivation of this fruit is uncertain, and it is not easy for their apprentices to obtain companion flowers.
The companion flower Thor first got produced blue fruits.
Later, he also got two companion flowers through work and exchange.
It's a pity that white fruits have never been cultivated.
"The birthday gifts you gave me these two times were so timely. It seems that I will prepare a better gift next time." Keli
nodded, she was never polite in this regard.
"If you have a way, give me some toxins with special toxicity."
"What do you want toxins for? Aren't you majoring in metal properties?" This was the first time Sol heard that Keli needed poisons.
"After all, my tutor majors in poison attributes. Many of the topics and objects he studies are related to poison reactions." Keli shrugged her shoulders.
It seems that after becoming a second-level apprentice, you will be eligible to do some research projects with your mentor.
In addition to going to Instructor Rum and Senior Nick from time to time, Saul usually only works in the morgue.
Of course, he was actually envied by other apprentices.
"Okay, let's forget about that for now. In fact, I also made a birthday cake. Let's eat it together back in the dormitory..." "
No... forget it."
"I promise it's better than last year's."
"No! I still have it. There is an experiment, so we can't stay in the bathroom tonight."
"No!" Keli turned behind Sol and pushed his back, "The food this time is very fresh!"
Sol couldn't use too much force. , can only resist with difficulty.
At this time,
"Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. What is a birthday cake? Is it a new poison?"
Nick walked out from behind the scarlet door of the morgue and raised his hand to greet the two of them.
When outsiders were around, Keli immediately stopped and returned to her cold demeanor.
"Well, good afternoon, Senior Nick." Sol adjusted his collar, "Birthday cake is actually a kind of food to celebrate birthdays." "Does
your hometown still have the custom of giving gifts on birthdays?" Nick walked in and carried He raised a piece of letter paper in front of Saul and said, "That's just right. I also have good news. I'll give it to you as a gift."
Saul took out the piece of letter paper from Nick's fingers, unfolded it, and lowered his head to read.
Immediately, a look of joy appeared on his face.
"It's a letter from Senior Byron!"
After hearing Byron's name, Keli looked over curiously.
But she remained polite and didn't get closer.
Thor read it quickly, his expression gradually changing to surprise and disbelief.
He raised his head and asked Nick: "Senior Byron said that he invited us to go out and do tasks together... What does this mean?"
Nick replied calmly: "That's the literal meaning. As long as the mentors agree, with the invitation of a third-level apprentice, even if you are a first-level apprentice, you can participate in tasks outside the tower. And the mentors have never disagreed." Then
Nick He raised his hand and clapped his hands twice.
"Congratulations, you can go out now." It will be
released on Friday. The next chapter is the acceptance speech
