Chapter 285: A Gift from the Mentor
Matthew asked,
“Are magic carpets and broomsticks given out randomly?”
David explained,
“You can only choose one. Bl and above have the right to choose, but the default is to get the magic carpets unless the user insists on changing.”
Matthew asked curiously,
“Why? Is it because the magic carpet is cheaper?”
David made an exaggerated gesture.
“Do you know what the death rate for broomsticks was before the Alliance introduced the Speed Deceleration Order and the Drinking Restriction Order?
“Every year, at least 15% of the Mages who used broomsticks frequently died from falling to their deaths!
“That’s not counting a large number of disabled people. Although spells could heal their wounds, most of them had developed acrophobia and could not even sit on a magic carpet.
“Compared to the magic carpet, it was much safer. The death rate was only 1%.”
Matthew asked in disbelief,
“You can die riding a magic carpet?!”
David explained,
“Of course, the magic carpet flies very slowly. It’s easy for the birds of prey or dragons in the sky to treat it as delicious food.
” Moreover, the magic carpet’s surface area is very large, and its load capacity is also very shocking. Therefore, some mages take advantage of this. Some mages like to do it in the air. You know.
” The last time I heard of a magic carpet accident, people found a small elephant that fell to its death within five kilometres of the magic carpet and its rider. You can probably guess how crazy some mages are.
At this point, David sighed.
“Therefore, I personally suggest that small flying props are only suitable for short-distance travel or flirting.
“It is dangerous to fly long distances or go to unknown areas on a magic carpet.
“After all, one does not know if the white cloud floating in the sky ahead is an evil Cloud Dragon in disguise.
The two of them left the room.
David brought Matthew to the door of a small, dark room.
At this moment, the mechanical dwarf introduced in an unprecedentedly solemn tone,
” This room will be your last stop in the Alliance Office today. You should have heard of the concept of the ‘supervising mentor’. The higher- ups of the Alliance have already chosen a mentor for you. However, that lady is a little special. She is currently in the safest Ten Thousand Spell Tower in the northernmost floating city, so she can only meet you through a long-distance mirror image.
“You will understand the details once you enter. I can only tell you that this lord is very special. You must be careful with your words and actions.” Matthew nodded.
As he spoke, he was about to push open the door of the small black room.
“Right, that lord’s name is Isabelle. Sorry, I was too nervous and almost forgot to mention it.”
David’s voice came from behind when the door was pushed open halfway.
Isabelle?
Matthew’s thoughts stopped for half a second.
Suddenly.
He quivered and recalled the origin of this name.
However, at this moment, a huge force pulled Matthew in! A very calm voice came from the front,
“How many people of the Dragon Worship Sect have you killed?”
Bang!
The door of the small black room closed automatically.
A silent chill assaulted him, and Matthew couldn’t help but shiver.
The light in the room disappeared in an instant.
Matthew felt as if he was standing on a surface of water. There was a shimmering lake beneath his feet, and there was endless darkness above his head. Only a full moon hung coldly in the sky. It shone down, and all its light fell on a beautiful woman with white hair.
The woman’s hair was fluffy and long, spreading out in all directions like hanging dandelions, completely covering the surface of the lake.
She was wearing a thin robe. Her eyes were indifferent, and her facial features were three-dimensional and cold. On her slender and fair neck, there was a silver-grey necklace. The pendant of the necklace went deep into her chest, and one could vaguely see that it was an orange-yellow gem..
