That was one of the most powerful casters of the Titan empire, the supreme ruler of the Royal Masters Association, the chief magic adviser of His Majesty the Emperor, and the number of the Duke's Windsor Marpel.
She is much more common than Mary imagined.
Mary carefully looked at the big man standing at the desk with awe. She thought that the legendary powerful wizard would be a more distinctive lady. It might be wearing a starry robe, full of majesty. Old lady, may also be a spell that changed the age of her body, glamorous and beautiful, but not, Windsor Marpel looks like an ordinary middle-aged woman, thirty to forty Between the ages, although there is still a moving look between the eyebrows, but the traces of the years have appeared on her face, she is wearing a plain purple robes, a long lavender hair is very casual, behind her, she Just standing there quietly, there is not even any momentum.
Then Mary saw that her mentor had moved, and the old Master went to Windsor Marpel in the same way, and looked at each other with a kind of ungodly and even rude eyes. Under the horror of the apprentice, the old master nodded: "You finally got to this position."
"You are still my mentor," Windsor Marpel took a complicated look. In Mary's horror and even horrified gaze, she bent down against the old wizard. "Always."
The old wizard waved his hand: "But you are not my apprentice."
Mary suddenly took a big breath and in a little while, she actually forgot to breathe because of the horror, and the sound of her breathing also caught the attention of Daniel, the old wizard waved to her: "Come, and Windsor Marpel greeted her, she is the president of the Royal Masters Association."
Mary fainted and went forward. Before she spoke, the awesome lady swept her and it seemed that the lady had only noticed that there was such a stranger in the room: "She is Who?"
"My apprentice," Daniel smiled. "It's worse than your talent, but smarter than you."
This is the first time Mary has heard of her compliments from Daniel’s mouth in her life, though not specifically for her.
"Your... Apprentice?" Windsor Marpel said incredulously, but she quickly returned to normal and nodded to Mary. "Hello, I am Windsor Marpel, the first Daniel mentor." Apprentices. Since you are also an apprentice of a mentor, you don't have to care about my president's identity."
"I... I am Mary," said Mary sincerely. "I am very honored to meet you."
Windsor Marpel frowned and asked subconsciously: "There is no surname? Ah, I have no intention of offending."
"She is what I got in the country, where is the surname," Daniel said casually, and looked at Mary with a little dissatisfaction, and waved his hand impatiently. "Don't grow in and stand next to you, don't interrupt."
Mary immediately retreated in obedience. Although she had a problem with her stomach, she closed her mouth tightly and could not say a word.
And Windsor Marpel looked deeply at all that it was not a good mage. The magical reaction in the body was also weak and poor, and then he turned to Daniel seriously: "Guide, I have been Looking for you..."
"As the president of the Royal Masters Association, you really have to find it already," Daniel said with a hoarse smile. "And what are you looking for? Let me continue to accept those mentally ridiculous? Or invite people from the association. Visit a famous freak?"
Windsor Marpel's face changed slightly, and she immediately shook her head: "Guide, you know what I mean, no one despise your accomplishments in the field of magic, it's just your neural interaction magic..."
The president of the association said that half of it suddenly stopped.
She opened her eyes and stared at something in sight behind Daniel's black robe. The restless artificial nerves squirmed, and a few slender, shimmering electro-optic, like flesh and metal. The twisted thing that emerged from the hem of the robe, slowly swinging in the sight of Windsor Marpel, is like a blind digger, with some kind of sacred atmosphere.
The powerful caster whispered: "You... are you... are you successful?!"
"I failed, but it has succeeded. The idiots that stick to the rules will probably not recognize my success, but I don't care that the theory of neural interaction magic is meaningful after all. I can break through my talent limit and never do it. "Things," Daniel said quietly. "Windsor Marpel, we are not here to talk about this today."
"...Yes, we are not talking about this," Windsor Marpel paused for a moment and sighed slightly. "Teacher, I can hardly believe when I received your letter, but you really came to you." Willing to return to the Masters Association and re-enact for Tifeng?"
Daniel snorted: "Hey, I will work for Tifeng, but I have no interest in this association. As far as I know, our Emperor has not asked the Master to respond to the recruitment must join the association, isn't it? ”
"...this is true," Windsor Marpel frowned, and then adjusted his state, looking at Daniel with a serious look. "You can't do anything in the field of mathematics and ancient magic, even if you don't have to I recommend that the Emperor also heard your reputation, he will be very happy that people like you will be willing to re-enact for the empire. I will immediately re-prepare your lab and Master Tower for years. Keep them."
"No, I am not used to working in a place where there are too many people in the Royal Master District. I am afraid that I am not willing to live in a block with a modified freak," Daniel sneered, shaking his head. "I have already I have found a place to settle down, and I plan to rebuild a lab myself. You know my habits. I only trust the experimental environment I created. I don't want anyone to intervene and bother."
Windsor Marpel looked at Daniel's eyes, although the latter was much older than the one she remembered, and even the old ones were somewhat abnormal, and the temperament seemed to change a lot, but the kind of persistence in the eyes Stubbornness is still exactly the same as in memory. She gave up her intention to continue persuasion, but nodded slightly: "I understand, it will be arranged according to your intentions."
After saying this, Windsor Marpel paused. In a slight hesitation, she looked at Daniel and said, "Teacher, where have you lived in the past few years?"
“This is part of the investigation?”
Windsor Marpel did not hesitate this time: "This is my duty."
"A good answer I have been in Tifeng in the past few years. In the southwest, the Royal Masters Association can conduct random investigations, including anyone I have contacted, and you can investigate. Is there any problem?"
Windsor shook his head: "No."
"Okay, then I will leave this place and it will not be comfortable to stay."
Daniel called Mary, who was still in a daze, and turned to walk toward the gate, but at that moment, the president of the association suddenly spoke again: "Teacher, you really don't have to leave, those crowded and mocked." People who have passed you are just mediocrity, they are now..."
Daniel stopped and looked back at Windsor: "Because I am jealous of you."
Windsor Marpel's voice came to an abrupt end, she stood there, her face complex, and after a few seconds, she broke the silence: "Teacher, you know I don't believe."
"But it's a fact. Maybe a lot of qualified mediocre wizards will think that their apprenticeship can be promoted to legend is a glorious thing, but I never take it for granted, because I know that you are promoted to legend only because you have This kind of talent is nothing, it is not my credit, it is impossible to make up for it with effort, can not be changed with any acquired means, and even has no connection with the personal ability of the tutor, any mediocre lame master is your mentor Can make you promote the legend, and even if the goddess of magic comes, it will not let me break through the high level."
Daniel said quietly, then turned back and left the president's room without stopping.
Windsor Marpel quietly watched the old Master's back disappear behind the door, and did not say a word.
She knows that her former teacher is not jealous of himself. What he really blames is the iron rule of "talent determines everything."
He doesn't mind that his apprentices can be promoted to legends early. I don't mind that apprentices can surpass themselves in magical rumors, but he can't accept that all of this is determined by talent. There is no boundary between them. The boundaries are unfortunately impossible to shake through the day after tomorrow.
Windsor Marpel sighed slightly, perhaps before she reached the high level, before the instructor encountered her own talent bottleneck, the latter had foreseen what was going to happen, and he opened the Deviant, whimsical research.
Neural interaction magic theory.
The technique of transforming the human body by means of implants, neurosurgery, and lifelong synergists.
The mentor who never believed in fate chose to fight against fate more than 20 years ago. At that time everyone thought he had failed, but fortunately, now he is back.
Although he has changed a lot, although he said that he used surgery to turn himself into a "monster", everything will be fine.
......
Along the way, Daniel was silent. Mary could only carefully close her mouth and quietly follow the old Master. She had a lot of questions to ask, because what happened today really challenged her cognition and even challenged her. The president of the Sanguan Royal Masters Association, which she has established so far, is actually an apprentice of the mentor of the year. In the history of Tifeng, the female magician who broke through the legendary ranks at the youngest time turned out to be his own "sister"? Has the mentor been such a big man?
All this is what Mary never dared to think about!
However, before the tutor allowed, she did not dare to ask.
This boring state lasted for a long time, and it was only after the door of the Royal Masters Association that Daniel finally broke the silence: "A lot of problems?"
"Ah...Yes," Mary was shocked, then nodded quickly. "I... I didn't think you were that year... The president of the Royal Masters Association turned out to be your apprentice?!"
"Stupid question, even now I need to ask again," Daniel glanced at Mary. "She is indeed my apprentice, but she became the president of the association after I left, including her promotion. What happened. When I left, she was just like a normal high-ranking mage."
"So, did you really leave the association because of research on neurological transformation? Now that you have succeeded, those who ridicule you will certainly be self-confident..."
Mary said something, but after she said it, she suddenly realized that she had said too boldly: Daniel never liked anyone to mention anything about him and the Royal Masters Association. This is in any case. Come out will lead to a penalty sentence!
The poor girl immediately became nervous, and all her muscles were tense in tension.
Daniel sneered a sneer: "Success? If you think these nerves are successful, I will put them on you today."
Mary trembled a little, but when she thought she would really suffer such a terrible fate, she found that it was just a joke of the old wizard.
"Look at what you look like, do you think I will have extra patience to do this transformation for you?" Daniel waved his hand. "Your talent is the same as that of a monkey. Any transformation is a waste of material."
Mary did not care about the instructor's evaluation of her talents. She just felt a big sigh of relief. Then she said with some exclamation: "Others will not believe it. Ms. Windsor Marpel is actually our predecessor..."
"You don't have to be so awed by Windsor."
Daniel suddenly interrupted Mary's sigh, and then in the slightest sight of the latter, he looked up and looked at the foggy streets of Olde South.
"If you know the power of Wei, you won't be afraid of anyone."
The old wizard took a step and took Mary to continue to walk into the fog of Aldernan.
"Don't waste the owner's time, we still have a lot to do."
