Chapter 462: Condition
Adam sat on a boulder on the banks of Marian Lake, gazing at the calm surface of the lake with a blank look in his eyes.
It had been a week since he had sent the letter to Berger. Since then, he hadn't received a reply from the old gnome. However, Blackie had visited him a few days ago stating that Berger had entered close-door mindfulness.
This undoubtedly meant that the gnome was attempting to break through to the Mana Core Rank!
Adam had deeply thought about his actions. The knowledge that he had written down in those papers could be said to be invaluable. In Tron, these papers could even be considered sacred texts.
After all, in the entirety of the planet, the number of Rank 4 Magi was very minuscule. Moreover, these Magi would strongly gatekeep the secrets to advancing to this rank.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com
In such a scenario, the words that Adam had written down on those parchment papers were enough to start a global war!
The youth knew that Berger would definitely question him about how he had gotten his hands on such profound knowledge.
But Adam didn't care. All that mattered to him was the gnome breaking through to Rank 4 and extending his life. If Berger succeeded in doing so, he didn't mind getting smacked in the forehead by a smoking pipe for the rest of his life.
These things swirled in Adam's mind for the past week, causing a whirlpool of emotions that prevented him from doing much of anything else.
His mind would always wander around and worry about the old gnome.
"Professor..." Eleniey approached the youth from behind and tugged on the hems of his black robes. "Are you okay?"
Adam snapped out of his daze and turned around to look at the brown-haired young girl with pale blue eyes. His lips curled up into a warm smile and he gently patted her head.
"Of course."
Eleniey glanced at Adam while fidgeting with her fingers. She then lowered her head and mumbled, "You've been very... unusual lately. Art, Aiden, and I have been wondering if something happened to you."
Adam glanced at his two other students who were crouching in the distance, trying to overhear his conversation while pretending to read a book.
Seeing such a scene, Adam couldn't help but lightly chuckle. "Come here, you two."
However, if I make certain arrangements to ensure their safety, this trip will definitely be worthwhile for their growth.
Art couldn't help but get a little impatient and asked, "Professor, what are you thinking?"
Adam snapped out of this train of thought and glanced at the students. "Would you like to go on a trip with me?"
"You mean a picnic?" Aiden asked excitedly.
BAM!
Adam lightly smacked him on the forehead. "I mean a trip to gain battle experience, my foolish student. Why in the world would I take you out on a picnic?"
"Ugh, true, true..." Aiden gently caressed his forehead while nodding.
"Battle experience?" Eleniey asked with curious eyes. "Professor, are you going to take us to the orc's territories?"
"No, it's a town called Stratford in the northern regions of the Empire," said Adam.
Art had an uninterested expression on his face as he said, "Professor, I heard it was very cold there. Can we go somewhere warm and sunny?"
BAM!
"I-It's fine! We can go to Stratford. I see nothing wrong with that!" Art corrected himself. Meanwhile, Aiden secretly glanced at him and giggled, causing him to be very annoyed. "Professor, what's so great about Stratford?" Eleniey thought for a while and asked, "Oh, I remember there are dark woods bordering that town. Do you want us to hunt beasts there?"
"Yeah, something like that." Adam chuckled. The next moment, his expression turned solemn and he added, "However, I have a condition to take you all with me on this trip." "What is it?" The students asked enthusiastically. They really wished to go out with Adam
and explore the lands.
But more importantly, they wanted to witness just how strong their mentor was!
Adam's lips curled up into a smirk. "Within the next four months...
"You have to advance to Muscle Stage Magi."
