Chapter 51: Chapter 51: Trust Me
"Mm."
Lor nodded and said casually, "Back in the Divine Kingdom, I exchanged a few words with Speaker Yasen, and afterward, he appointed me as Levan’s mentor."
"Greetings, Your Excellencies, Wizards." Young Levan also cooperatively bowed again to the two Second Ring Wizards.
He could disregard the two Second Ring Wizards, but he had to pay attention to Lor’s attitude.
"Your Highness Levan, please don’t."
"Your Highness Levan, you are too kind."
Gu Lei and Agular hurriedly returned the salute, not daring to show any disrespect.
Lor stood behind Levan, observing the two Second Ring Wizards carefully out of the corner of his eye.
Agular’s eyes were wide open, and his breathing was a bit rapid, probably because he was too shocked.
Meanwhile, cold sweat appeared on Gu Lei’s forehead, as if he had been frightened.
"Well..." Gu Lei smiled stiffly, "I have something to do, Your Highness Levan, Agular, Lor, you all chat, I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he immediately used the Earth Vein Traveling Technique, quickly retreating to his laboratory.
Now his heart was full of lingering fear.
If it really came to that step...
Luckily, Lor revealed His Highness Levan’s identity in advance, or he would have truly offended this prince.
His only concern now was what he had said to Agular before.
To not have him disclose his words will be his most crucial goal moving forward.
Seeing Gu Lei leave in embarrassment, Lor’s lips curled into a silent smile.
This guy, truly has the heart of a thief, but not the courage.
Gu Lei’s reaction eased Lor considerably, Levan’s reputation was more intimidating than he anticipated.
But that’s to be expected. He only had a little more than eight thousand grams of Divine Power Crystal in hand, which might seem like a lot, but several Third Ring Wizards could actually gather that much Divine Power Crystal.
However, facing him, or rather Levan, might incur the enmity of a Fifth Ring Speaker, which would be entirely counterproductive.
"Your Highness Levan, Lor, would you like to come to my laboratory for a visit?" Seeing Gu Lei leave, Agular immediately extended a polite invitation to the two.
Levan didn’t reply but instead cast an inquiring glance at Lor standing behind him.
"Of course, Teacher." Lor responded with a smile.
After the previous observation, he was ninety percent sure that this teacher really didn’t have any greed towards him.
Therefore, in Lor’s view, a teacher is still a teacher, and their relationship has not changed from before.
"Alright, follow me." Agular nodded and turned to lead the way; this was not a suitable place to have a conversation.
The three of them walked along the road, occasionally encountering a few Second Ring Wizards, who would involuntarily cast their eyes over Levan, only to quickly retract them as if shocked.
Clearly, many others overheard Lor’s conversation earlier.
"On normal days, there wouldn’t be so many Second Ring Wizards on the twenty-seventh floor, given that there are only five second-class laboratories in total."
After walking for a while, Agular jokingly remarked as if by accident.
"Maybe they just sent their apprentices downstairs and haven’t had time to return to their own floor." Lor replied with a smile.
Upon hearing their conversation, the wizards who had been appearing from time to time all instantly disappeared.
"Eh?!" Levan glanced around, blinking in confusion, not knowing why the wizards suddenly left.
Lor and Agular exchanged a look, both showing a hint of amusement in their eyes.
After another ten minutes or so, Agular led Lor and Levan into an estate-style experimental area and entered a completely black laboratory located at the deepest part of the estate.
"Lor, you should know what Gu Lei is thinking, right?"
As soon as the laboratory door was closed, the relaxed expression on Agular’s face vanished, replaced by seriousness.
"He doesn’t even hide his malice; it’s hard not to notice." Lor shrugged helplessly.
"He..."
Agular hesitated, finally sighed, and slowly said:
"If you want to settle accounts with him in the future, I won’t stop you, nor will I help you."
"Of course, I may not even live to that time."
At the end, a bitter smile appeared on Agular’s lips.
His remaining lifespan was truly not much.
Initially, he wanted to persuade his student to forget about the matter, for if he died, the Earth and Fire Faction on the Murphy Continent would be left with only Gu Lei as the Second Ring Wizard holding the fort.
But in the end, he still didn’t voice it, because regardless of his position or future, Lor’s status in his heart was now higher than Gu Lei’s.
Standing aside, Levan looked at the two speaking back and forth, his face full of confusion.
What were the teacher and the teacher’s teacher talking about?
He didn’t understand a word of it.
Feeling somewhat stifled, but unable to ask at the moment, he had to shift his gaze to examine other parts of the laboratory, filled with curiosity.
"Teacher, trust me, it won’t be long before you become a Third Ring Great Wizard." Lor said softly with a smile.
When Agular stated he wouldn’t stop him, his stance was already very clear.
It was nearly equivalent to directly telling Lor that it was permissible to kill Gu Lei.
As for the additional comment that he wouldn’t help, it was essentially just decorative language.
Because after the trial in the Divine Kingdom, Lor’s potential was evident; if he truly wanted to kill Gu Lei, it was merely a matter of time.
If he has the ability, Lor never hesitates to lend a hand to those who have shown him goodwill, whether it be Chris, Kateya, or Agular.
"Let’s hope so."
Agular smiled, assuming Lor was simply trying to comfort him, and directly changed the subject, "Lor, have you decided on your future path? Are you going for fusion development or taking it step by step?"
Due to Lor’s demonstrated prowess, he had already abandoned the idea of choosing a path for Lor.
The future direction depends entirely on Lor’s own decision.
"I’ll take the fusion route, using the Small Lava Eruption Technique as a foundation." Lor replied.
"Sounds good. I hope you can blaze a trail for Earth and Fire Wizards to the Fourth Ring."
Agular nodded, unsurprised, warmly saying, "You must be tired after fighting in the Divine Kingdom for so long. Go back and rest."
In fact, he foresaw it when Lor demonstrated that witchcraft in front of him before entering the Divine Kingdom.
What he was doing now was just a final confirmation.
"Yes, Teacher." Lor responded, turning away with Levan.
...
Half an hour later.
Lor and Levan had just descended to the fifteenth floor of the Wizard Tower and saw a group of First Ring Wizards and Third Level Apprentices waiting by the stairway.
Among them were some familiar faces to Lor, like Fley, Lus, and Kateya.
But there were more unfamiliar wizards and apprentices.
"Lor, I heard you performed brilliantly in the Divine Kingdom, congratulations!" As soon as Fley saw Lor, he hurriedly smiled and offered congratulation.
Considering Lor’s performance in the Divine Kingdom, he’ll undoubtedly become a First Ring Wizard soon and will surely be stronger than him.
Already having a good relationship with Lor before, he naturally wanted to maintain it.
