C49 Do You Desire Power?
C49 Do You Desire Power?
Two days later, she looked from afar at Angarmarin, who was standing on the podium and receiving a beautiful box from Great Devil Instructor. Then, she couldn't help but sigh.
"What happened to you?"
As if sensing Shu Hsingnan's disappointment, the mysterious powerful old grandpa asked in her spiritual world.
"I'm so weak."
Shu Hsingnan dejectedly shifted her gaze away from Angarmarin and turned her head to look at the other first grade freshmen beside her. Most of them had already reached the Level 9 magic apprentice, and there were still quite a few who had already reached the apprentice wizard realm. But she, a Level 7 magic apprentice, was the weakest among the group.
"Grandpa, you are so powerful. Don't tell me you don't have a way to increase the speed of my magic accumulation?"
Shu Hsingnan was just asking casually, and did not expect to get an answer. But she did not expect that the mysterious grandpa actually nodded in her spiritual world.
"Of course. I am an Eighth Grade Titled Devil Instructor, I can teach you some methods."
"It just so happens that there is a method passed down from the Elven Empire that is very suitable for you. It can help you become an intermediate wizard within a month. At that time, none of the first and second grade students will be a match for you. " The mysterious old grandpa stroked his nonexistent beard and said with a smile.
"Then tell me quickly!" Shu Hsingnan was so excited that she wanted to jump up from her seat.
"I haven't finished. However, if you use this method, it would be the same as exhausting the potential of your entire life. You can forget about making any progress in magic in this lifetime. There are no shortcuts on the path of magic."
" Then I'll leave this method to you. "
Shu Hsingnan returned to her dejected state just now. She lay on the chair in a dispirited manner and looked at the sky.
"Hsingnan, you are still young. Don't be discouraged."
"Then what can I do? I am in despair."
The old grandpa in the spiritual world revealed an undetectable smile.
"There are no shortcuts on the magic path, but you can use the transportation to make your progress faster. With the help of your powerful magic attack theory teacher, it will be much easier. "
" Try what? "
The old grandpa did not directly answer Shu Hsingnan's question. He stroked his beard again and smiled even more brilliantly.
"Hsingnan, do you desire power?"
That night, in Riko's cabin.
"Professor Heather Gava, I have already applied for leave from the academic affairs office. I will leave tomorrow."
Shu Hsingnan stood in front of Riko and said nervously while pulling her magic robe.
She was interrupted by the mysterious master before she could finish her sentence.
"Forget it. Let me say it."
"Grandpa, didn't you say that I need to keep it a secret from others and not let them know about your existence?"
"That's for ordinary people. Riko probably already knew about me. She could even easily pry into the conversations between you and me. It's just a matter of whether she wants to or not."
"Is it that terrifying?"
"[That's right.] I was fortunate enough to see a Level 9 Titled Devil Instructor attack once. Every movement of his had the power to destroy the heavens and earth. "
The shadow of an old man with a white beard suddenly appeared beside Shu Hsingnan. The shadow was floating in the air. He leaned slightly toward Riko to show his respect.
"Heather Gava, I am very happy to see you."
The white-bearded old man lowered his head slightly and pointed his hands in Shu Hsingnan's direction.
"As you can see, I lost my body due to some unforeseen circumstances. At the moment, I can only attach myself to Shu Hsingnan's body. However, I assure you that with my help, she will definitely be able to grow into an expert of a region. She might not even be inferior to me."
Riko tilted her head.
"What's the matter?"
The old man carefully chose his words, because he knew that many powerful mages were eccentric. Some people would even fly into a rage because of some small matters. So, before he could figure out Riko's situation, he chose a very tactful way of saying it.
"Shu Hsingnan's current strength is still too weak, so we are all willing to increase the level of magic. Coincidentally, I know a very secretive Titled Devil Instructor tomb. Perhaps that place can effectively increase her combat strength..."
"Do you want me to come with you?"
Riko tilted her head and thought for a while and easily nodded her head in agreement.
Over the past few days, she had read many biographies of Titled Devil Instructor in the water elemental tower. The gray-haired girl had already started to feel that those things were somewhat the same. Not to mention that she had been in the Alien World for nearly half a year. However, she hadn't been to many places yet.
From the books in the library, she could more or less see the vastness of this world. There were also countless lands and things that she had never stepped foot on and had never seen before. Such a vast world made Riko Hasegawa curious.
Other than that - - she was the kind of person who would definitely help someone who was familiar with fulfill any request.
Therefore, the gray-haired girl did not reject his request.
"Alright."
The white-bearded old man looked somewhat surprised.
"You agreed?"
He also prepared an excuse. He planned to analyze the benefits Shu Hsingnan would get after growing up, but he did not expect Riko to agree so easily.
"Can I ask your name?"
When the white-bearded old man was about to withdraw, he was suddenly called by Riko and was stunned.
"My name is Hook."
"Grandpa, so you have a name."
"No, it has been a thousand years. I have long forgotten my name."
"Then what's with this name?"
"I just named myself"
