Chapter 65

Before Eliot could finish his sentence, he saw Adam and Kovar brush past each other. "Adam, don't do anything. Here … Hmm?"

Hearing Eliot's voice, Adam turned to look at him and said, "Looks like I won't be able to go in."

As soon as he said this, those who were familiar with Adam were stunned. Adam had spent very little time on the first test, which was why Eliot and the rest did not notice that Adam had been ejected many times. They only thought that he had been interrupted by others and did not think that Adam had failed the test.

"Those few runes are much easier than your meditation technique. How could they stump you?" James asked.

Seeing so many people come out, Kovar tactfully retreated to the side and did not say anything. He was not familiar with the others, but he knew Eliot. He was his potioneering instructor in his first year and heard that he was a very strong apprentice.

He looked at Adam and felt a little puzzled. From what he knew, entering the apprentice bar was the first test. That rune not only tested the apprentice's ability to compose, but also the quality of their spiritual power and calculation ability. He had worked hard for a long time before he dared to test it. As for the second test, he did not care at all. His father, who was an apprentice, had already tested his talent when he was young. There was no need to hesitate about the direction of his research.

"Also, the name Adam, where have I heard it before? 'Your meditation technique'? "

Adam shook his head. "The first test was easy, but for the second test, I have not found my research direction. Or rather, I don't know what my soul inclination is pointing to."

He looked at the people who were looking at each other and said, "Sorry, I have to go first." After saying this, he rose from the ground and flew in the direction of the laboratory.

The people on the ground once again returned to the bar. Kovar successfully passed the test after a few experiments. At this time, he suddenly remembered where he had heard Adam's name before.

Hearing Kovar's cheering companions suddenly realized something, and said, "Adam, so it's him!"

His friend was puzzled. "Big Brother Kovar, what did you say?"

"That acolyte just now is Adam, the creator of Psychokinetic Meditation."

.....

Adam returned to the laboratory and sat quietly in his room, pondering.

It seemed that he had missed out on a lot of things in the past year. His progress had been far ahead, but now he was actually falling behind.

Even William had found the direction, but he was still in a state of confusion. This was unacceptable to Adam.

However, he couldn't find a way to solve this problem at the moment. Moreover, the aftermath of his forceful interruption of his soul's advancement had greatly reduced his control over his Spirit. For the time being, he couldn't perform tasks with dozens of threads at the same time like before. This caused his thinking efficiency to be greatly reduced.

In the World of Mages, if you encountered a problem that you couldn't solve with your own wisdom, you weren't the only one who could immerse yourself in research. The World of Mages' academic openness gave the apprentices another way to solve problems.

As long as he could pay the price, there would be capable people who would help him.

Adam came to the mission hall and went straight to the second level.

The first level was for apprentices, and the missions were for mage apprentices. The second level was for mages. Adam believed that he could get the answer here.

Out of respect for mages, apprentices wouldn't come to the second level unless they had something important to do. Mages had their own special means of communication and didn't need to personally accept missions. Therefore, compared to the bustle of the first level, the second level was a bit quieter.

Adam walked to the center of the second level. There was an alchemy device fixed on a pedestal. It looked like a computer.

Adam placed his identity card on the pedestal, and the light screen showed Adam's identity information and the balance of his energy stones.

A cold mechanical voice sounded, "Apprentice Adam, state your request."

"I request for an official mage to conduct a re-examination of the soul inclination, explain the meaning of the information to me, and provide guidance on the path of research."

Adam stated his request. This was a transaction, and there was no need for honorifics or politeness. If Adam didn't state his request clearly, the mages wouldn't be kind enough to give an additional explanation.

From this point of view, the contract between mages was no different from the Devil's. There shouldn't be any omissions or loopholes, or no one would pay for you.

The alchemy device uploaded the mission and then deducted the posting fee. "Mission posted as record."

Adam left the room. The final reward for the mission had to be negotiated with the mages. This reward might be a huge sum, but Adam didn't feel the pinch.

When Adam returned to the laboratory, William and the others had also returned. They looked at Adam awkwardly and didn't know what to say. On the other hand, Adam was as calm as ever.

In the room, the Devil appeared in Adam's mind and said gloatingly, "Master, it seems that you're in trouble. If you can't find the path of a mage and can't become an official mage … "

"Impossible." Adam said without hesitation as he drank the recovery potion and continuously constructed a meditation technique to replenish his soul with his mental power. Hearing the Devil's words, he said without hesitation.

"Hahaha, don't be so sure. Even if you can find the path, soul injuries are a problem in all planes. If you really can't advance, why don't you consider forming a symbiotic contract with me? I'm a long-lived species with an almost unlimited lifespan." The Devil continued to bewitch him. After receiving a large amount of energy, it was indeed improved and recovered part of the Devil's instincts.

"Haha." Adam gave the Devil a soul lash and then sneered. If that day really came, he believed that the Devil wouldn't let him go at all. Symbiotic contract? In a situation where the power was not equal, this kind of equal contract had no guarantee at all.

At this moment, there was a knock on Adam's door. After the Devil opened the door, William said, "Adam, someone is looking for you outside."

Adam walked to the door and found that it was an alchemy puppet. "Apprentice Adam, your mission has been accepted by Master Kino. Within two days, go to the Element Laboratory Building's third floor, Laboratory Number 0 to complete the transaction."

Adam didn't expect it to be so fast. Moreover, the name Kino …

"The one who saved you was Master Kino," William reminded him.

Adam suddenly understood. William had reminded him of this matter yesterday. He should have gone to express his gratitude to the official mage this morning, but Eliot had disrupted his schedule. Now, he could solve it all at once.

.....

The laboratories in the Element Laboratory Building were all advanced laboratories presided over by official mages. Other than specific apprentices, ordinary apprentices didn't have the authority to enter the higher levels. It was also Adam's first time going to the higher levels. This time, he felt much better than before. Although the overlapping of the many energy fields still made him uncomfortable, at least he wasn't completely suppressed like before.

After many identity checks along the way, Adam arrived in front of Master Kino's laboratory. The mage seemed to have expected it. The moment Adam touched the door, the door opened automatically.

"Apprentice Adam, we meet again," Wizard Kino said to Adam as he sat on a chair that looked like something out of a sci-fi novel.

Adam bowed deeply and said to Master Kino, "Thank you very much for your help that day."

Master Kino waved his hand, and an alchemy puppet handed the bill to Adam. "No need. It's my duty. Moreover, it's not free."

Adam took the bill and realized that there were two copies. One of them did not have a specific amount written on it. It should be the remuneration that needed to be settled after this mission, while the other had the words: Ten units of complete ether crystals, or materials of equivalent value.
