Chapter 588: Teacher, it’s time to show your cards, I’m a half-elf
"So this is what you achieved during this time?"
Back in Nevis, the Lord of Thunder flipped through the stack of papers handed over by Grete, and he was indeed not very satisfied. There was no theoretical research, no independent thinking, and they were all applied things.
There are countless magicians studying applied things every day, so why should you spend your time?!
As a disciple of my Lord of Thunder, as a magician who stands at the academic forefront of the entire magic world, theoretical research and the essence of magic, these are what you should be concerned about!
Only when you understand the principle and "why" can you make leaps and bounds in magic!
Gretel lowered his head and listened to the teacher's criticism, not daring to say a word. The Lord of Thunder raised his nose and eyes, refuted all his papers, then picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, and said slowly:
"Okay, then what is your next research goal?"
"...Teacher, I still have several unanswered questions!"
"Um?"
Gretel started counting with his fingers. There has been a lot of progress in the research on rabies vaccines, but no decisive results have been achieved yet;
Research on streptomycin, or other toxins, is still in progress and has produced no results;
You should go take a look at the brainwave project that was thrown to the Puzzle and Control Department, there might be some surprises;
besides……
"Don't you leave all this to others?" The Lord of Thunder frowned slightly and interrupted directly:
"What are the difficulties? The researchers are disobedient? The project funds are not enough? In short, you should not worry about these. What I am asking is, what do you want to research next?"
The teacher is so strict. But behind the strictness, there is also confidence.
In the teacher's opinion, if the researcher is disobedient, he can just be kicked out and replaced with a new one;
If the project funds are not enough, they can be obtained anywhere;
For high-level mages, there is no need to worry about these bits and pieces!
Only topic selection and ideas are the most precious things!
Being forced to panic by the teacher, Gretel did not dare to hide it anymore. Some of them only had ideas and had not yet been completed for pre-research projects, so he had to dig them out quickly and present them with both hands:
"Indeed, there is. I plan to study identification spells to see if I can identify other information on the basis of blood type identification."
"for example?"
"For example, blood potassium, blood sodium, blood calcium, blood sugar, pH..." Gretel clapped his fingers. Seeing the Lord of Thunder's eyebrows gradually frowning, he quickly sped up his words:
"I think that today's identification magic can identify the type and content of certain substances, it must be because the magic sees something. If this principle can be extended to blood tests..."
He silenced instantly. The Lord of Thunder raised a finger, interrupted his statement, and said calmly:
"This can be considered a direction. Regarding the principles and methods of identification, you should read these books and learn some magic circles..."
As he said this, he waved his hand casually, and the office was filled with electric light, woven into several lines of writing. Gretel quickly took out his notebook, brushed it, and copied hard:
""The Preliminary Art of Identification", Crent Onegin, 587,"
"Fundamental Matter and Measurement, Ulan Roko, 1028,"
""Basic Identification", Ludwig, 935..."
Hey, it’s great to have a teacher. In the blink of an eye, the book list is down. Of course, the premise is...
"These books can be borrowed from the library of Thunder Tower, and the magic circle can also be redeemed with contribution points. I will ask you about your progress at the next regular meeting."
"No, teacher!" Grete screamed at the top of his lungs:
"There are only two days until the next regular meeting!"
Shouldn't I come to see the teacher as soon as I enter the city?
Should I first walk around the Mage Tower, then walk around the hospital, understand the project progress of all groups, and then do a few surgical operations to warm my hands?
If we come together in time for the next regular meeting, I won't have to read four books in two days and learn three magic identification circles!
"What's wrong?" The Lord of Thunder's eyes had already glanced over, his fingertips were slightly raised, and the pages on the table were flipping:
"Speaking of which, you've been away from Nevis for so long, and these two months of journals..."
"Teacher, I will go redeem it right away! Next time we meet, I will make sure there is no problem with the progress!"
Gretel jumped up like a rabbit with an arrow, and fled towards the door. He opened the door, stepped out with one foot, and suddenly turned around:
"teacher……"
"What's wrong?"
"Teacher, when I returned to my hometown this time, I found some records related to my life experience."
Grete thought for a while, then returned to the Lord of Thunder honestly and confessed to the teacher:
"My father seems to be a son of a noble from the mainland. His hometown is in the Kingdom of Rhine..."
"The Askan family started in an area located on the northern border of the Kingdom of Rhine, which is the Nordmark you mentioned." The Lord of Thunder interrupted him directly:
"The current Earl of the Border, William Askan, nicknamed 'White Wolf', is 95 years old this year and is a 15th-level Sky Knight. His younger brother, 'Big Bear' Albrey, has a young son born to his mistress and eloped with someone more than 20 years ago.
Missing. Do you think I didn’t check anything before I accepted you as my disciple?”
Gretel was stunned. So, I am the grandnephew of the Earl of the Border of the Kingdom of Rhine? You all know it? Better than myself?
"The parliament has sent people to check your origins and previous experiences." Seeing his stupid look, the Lord of Thunder became more and more impatient:
"With your experience and character, there is no possibility of being influenced by the opponent and turning to the opponent. Otherwise, let alone accepting you as a disciple, even the mage tower will not be built for you. Okay, is there anything else?"
"Well, teacher, my maternal bloodline seems to be that of elves..."
"oh."
The Lord of Thunder responded lightly, not looking surprised. Instead, Gretel was stunned:
"No, isn't it? Teacher, you also know this?"
I only found out when I went back and dug out the letters! And I look completely human, not like an elf at all!
"It seems like no one can see the spell on your body that hides your appearance. Oh, I forgot, you really can't see it. Although I haven't unlocked it, I already knew that you have non-human blood."
Grete:T_T
He had no choice but to take out his mother's letter, including the pendant, and held it over automatically. The Lord of Thunder read the letter at a glance, then took the pendant in his hand, shook it casually, and threw it back:
"You're so petty. Isn't it just the route to Elf Island? It's not like there is no parliament! It's just on the other side of the New World. Grete, if you are interested, I will give you the route map now."
Grete stood there holding the letter and pendant. He was interested in walking around the world and seeing different scenery, but that didn't mean he wanted to go out now!
A young mage who is only at the sixth level is asked to cross the ocean, then cross the New World, and run to the Elf Island alone? He can't fight or escape, he will die on the way!
"Oh, that's right." The Lord of Thunder raised his eyes slightly, and his cold, lightning-like gaze quickly turned on Gretel's face:
"Humans with elven blood will be easier to sense magic power and nature. In this case, your learning progress..."
"Teacher, I will go back and read immediately!"
