Chapter 43: Personal Disciple
“! ! !”
When he heard this, he almost jumped up from his chair.
His expression did not change, but his heart kept sinking.
Had he been discovered?
As expected, he had been too rash and had not thought things through.
What should he do now?
The value of the dragon was very clear in his heart. If Harriet Terrence wanted to rob him by force.
Would he and Du Lu be able to defeat a saint-level mage?
Joelson quickly thought of a solution in his mind.
“Oh, no, no, no. Please don’t misunderstand, Joe.son.”
Harriet Terrence said with some distress, “Perhaps I shouldn’t have asked so directly. I didn’t mean to blame you at all, nor did I have any other thoughts. That’s your luck. It’s the favor of the G.o.d of Magic. I’m happy for you.”
Joelson stared into Harriet Terrence’s eyes.
He was wise and experienced, as deep as the starry night sky, and calm and clear.
He really didn’t have any malice.
“Thank you for understanding, Dean Harriet Terrence.”
Joelson let out a sigh of relief.
Harriet Terrence also showed a relaxed and gratified smile. He was also worried that he had scared Joelson.
“Everyone has their own little secret. I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said it. But I’m very curious, how did you get this dragon, Joelson?”
A conflicted and hesitant expression appeared on Joelson’s face as if he was in a difficult position.
He would never reveal the fact that he had the system to anyone.
After some consideration, Joelson decided to honestly make up a story for Dean Harlit Terrence.
…
“It’s really unbelievable.”
Harriet Terrence revealed a surprised expression for the third time.
“So, it has been following you ever since then?”
“Yes.”
With a sincere expression, Joelson replied, “After I treated its injuries, it became my most important partner.”
“It’s really amazing.”
Harriet Terrence exclaimed, “It’s your kindness that brought you good luck.”
“Perhaps.” Joelson’s face was filled with grat.i.tude.
In his heart, he was ridiculing the system. It was clearly the system that brought him good luck.
Du Lu could be personally hatched by me. If it didn’t follow me, who else could it follow?
“The rarest thing is that it even signed a contract with you. It seems like it treats you as its master.”
Harriet Terrence’s expression immediately became very complicated, he said seriously to Joelson, “Joelson, you must remember that before you have enough strength, you must never let the Giant Dragon Clan discover the existence of this contract. The pride of the Dragon Clan does not allow their clansmen to sign such a contract with humans.”
“Yes, I understand, Dean Harriet Terrence.”
Joelson silently noted it down in his heart.
He did not know what kind of contract he had made with Du Lu, but he had indeed gained more benefits.
Harriet Terrence nodded with gratification and said with a smile, “Actually, I have been paying attention to you since a long time ago, since you entered the academy.”
Joelson was suddenly surprised in his heart.
“After all, there haven’t been many magic geniuses with double talents since the founding of the Tulip Academy.”
“You’ve already surprised me enough, do you know that, Joelson?”
“Instant-cast magic, Song of Ice and Fire… Hmm, is that the name? and the amazing talent you showed in your magic training injuries, you remind me of myself when I was young.”
Harrit Terrence was very excited in front of Joelson.
The old man seemed to have been alone for too long, and no one spoke, so he couldn’t hold it in anymore.
“But your performance in the mage tower today really scared me.”
“You actually summoned a dragon! A real Fire Dragon!”
Harrit Terrence looked at Joelson with envy and said, “I wasn’t as lucky as you when I was young.”
He did not expect Harriet Terrence to secretly observe him. He had rashly summoned Du Lu to help him. Now it seemed that he was indeed a little reckless.
Joelson warned himself to be more cautious.
However, the old mage who had lived for more than five hundred years was indeed terrifying. He even had the habit of peeping on people.
“So, Dean Harriterrence, why did you call me here?”
Joelson could not help but interrupt Harriet Terrence with a bitter smile.
“Oh, right, I almost forgot.”
Harriet Terrence stroked his white beard and stared at Joelson with an expectant gaze. “I want to ask you, are you willing to be my disciple?”
Joelson was stunned.
Harriet wanted to take him as a disciple?!
A saint-level powerhouse actually took the initiative to become his own teacher!
Was this the legendary protagonist’s Halo?
Joelson immediately put on a “very excited, unbelievable” expression and said, “Really? Dean Harriet, this is my greatest honor!”
Harriet Terrence laughed in relief.
The matter was decided so easily and happily.
Hariet Terrence was very satisfied with Joelson.
He had double innate talent in magic, excellent control of magic, the instant casting of magic, and luck that even he could not help but envy.
Joelson had actually signed a contract with a dragon when he was at tier-4!
After some time, when the dragon had fully grown, it would definitely become a powerful helper for him.
If Harriet knew that Joelson had a ranch that could raise dragons, he might be scared to death if he used a bunch of dragons to gang up on his opponents in the future.
“I see that you don’t seem to have a suitable staff?”
“Yes, I’ve looked at it in the Chamber of Commerce, but I haven’t seen a suitable one.”
Harrit Terrence nodded, thought for a while, and said, “As a teacher, I should also give you a welcome gift.”
Harrit Terrence waved his hand, and a short black staff appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The tip of the short staff was inlaid with a red ball. From a distance of more than a meter, Joelson could still feel the rich power of magic elements coming from the staff.
“This is the staff I used when I was young, the crystal core of a tier-8 lava violent bear, and the handle made of tungsten and ironwood. It can speed up your mana recovery by at least 30% .”
Joelson took the staff, his eyes could not hide the joy in them.
He had always wanted to buy a suitable staff, but he did not expect to get one from Harriet.
This teacher was worth it.
Holding the magic staff in his hand, it was heavier than he had expected, and it felt very heavy.
“Tungsten and ironwood are the best materials to make a magic staff. Its hardness is comparable to steel, and even a sword would not leave any traces.”
Joelson thought that if he took the dragon blood potion to strengthen his body in the future, he would have the strength comparable to a knight.
During the battle, when others rushed in front of him, he suddenly lifted his mage robe, raised his staff, and struck it.
It was a funny scene.
