Chapter 262 Meeting with Harunvila

Locke said to Carrie Ackerman, “Academy leaders, have you replaced my wizard mentor with Harlan Vera?”

Carrie Ackerman nodded and said to Locke, “Yes, Senior. You are really smart. You realized in an instant why Teacher Harlan invited you.”

Carrie Ackerman felt a little guilty, but she still gave Locke a bright smile. “Senior, from now on, we are both students of Professor Harlan Vera.”

“Please take good care of me in the future.”

“If you need my help in the future, please feel free to ask. I will do my best to help you.”

Carrie Ackerman glanced at Locke guiltily, and only felt relieved when she was sure that Locke did not show any obvious dissatisfaction with her.

When she first learned about this, she was shocked.

But Carrie Ackerman, as a magic partner who follows others around every day to get resources and connections, she quickly adjusted her mentality and understood that Locke was her senior, and no matter what Locke’s attitude towards her was, she had to greet him warmly.

Now, she can’t afford to offend Locke at all.

Harun Vera’s network of relationships is not based on who entered first, but on who is a genius and who is a super genius.

A big celebrity like Locke would instantly become a star once he entered Harlan Vera’s network of relationships.

Carrie Ackerman knew that if she offended Locke, and if Locke showed even a little bit of dissatisfaction with her within his network of relationships, she would be in trouble.

Those in Harun Vera’s network of relationships will become cold and indifferent to her, and will refuse to communicate with her.

As a magic-academic pair, this is truly terrifying.

At the same time, Carrie Ackerman looked at Locke with an indifferent expression, secretly raised her head and observed him, with more admiration and awe in her heart.

This first-class wizard apprentice who had just been promoted for about a year possessed talents comparable to, or even slightly surpassing, those of Senior Angron.

Moreover, he was still so young and was her senior.

This naturally led Carrie Ackerman to develop a similar admiration for Angron.

Locke said to her coldly: “Then wait for me, I just came out of the plantation, my clothes are covered with dust, I need to change my clothes.”

After all, it was an official invitation from a wizard, so it was an extraordinary treatment.

It would be better for me to change into clean clothes to avoid being impolite.

Carrie Ackerman hesitated for a moment, then pulled out a Vine Language Box from beneath her wizard robes and handed it to Locke. “Senior Locke, this is a gift from me to you as a farewell to our family.”

Locke turned around and frowned slightly.

Carrie Ackerman immediately opened the Vine Language Box, revealing a high-level magical item lying inside, an ice dagger covered with Ogham runes. This was a high-level magical item, a grafted knife.

Carrie Ackerman gave Locke a flattering smile and said, “Senior, this is a grafting knife worth 500 magic stones. I felt that such a treasure was worthy of a talented breeder like you, so I took the initiative to purchase this grafting knife and wanted to give it to you.”

Locke frowned, took a look, and refused: “No need. I can buy the grafted rune knife myself.”

Carly opened her mouth, but faced with Locke’s ruthless rejection, she didn’t dare to insist any further. She could only nod and say, “Yes, I’m sorry, senior. I acted on my own initiative.”

Carrie sighed in her heart. At this moment, she hated herself for having offended Locke with her words before.

Now, with her ability, it was wishful thinking for her to gain Locke’s forgiveness and repair their relationship with such a small favor.

Carrie waited outside the house alone, thinking to herself, “Oh no! It seems Senior Locke has a really bad impression of me. He even refused to accept my gift. I have to think of another way to please Senior Locke.”

Carrie thought to herself, “If I offend Senior Locke, I’ll probably be unable to stay in Teacher Harlan Vera’s network.”

“This won’t do. We must find a way to truly help Senior Locke as soon as possible. This way, we might even be able to earn his forgiveness.”

Locke returned to his residence, changed his clothes, and then walked out. He followed Carrie Ackerman and got on two carriages respectively and headed to the Chimera Market.

Witch Kitchen, Private Room 3.

Carrie pushed open the door of the private room and invited Locke to go in. As soon as Locke walked in, he saw Consultant Francis and Wizard Harlan Vera.

Harlan Vera wore a pair of black-framed plain glasses, had a flat head, looked like a middle-aged man, and was dressed in an ordinary gray wizard robe. He also wore a magic ring on his right thumb and a decorative mechanical watch on his left wrist. The mechanical watch had seven clock dials on it and was very complicated. It seemed that it was calculating something. Anyway, Locke took a glance and was sure that it was not calculating time.

Carrie Ackerman saluted the two people in the private room, “Teacher Harlan, this is Senior Locke.”

Harlan Vera’s eyes lit up slightly. At this time, he and Senior Advisor Francis both looked at Locke and ignored Carrie Ackerman.

Harlan Vera looked Locke up and down and greeted him, “Locke, this should be the first time we meet.”

“I am Harlan Vera, a First Ring Wizard, Senior Breeder, Official Potions Master and Alchemist of Lilith’s Lodge. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

“I had heard of you from different people before I met you. But when I saw you today, I found that you are very young, and not quite the same as I imagined.”

Harun Vera smiled and said, “I am very happy that the college has reassigned you as my student.”

“I just don’t know what you think. If you don’t want to…”

Locke immediately shook his head. This was originally the recommendation given to him by Teacher Sophia. “No, Teacher Harlan, I’d be happy to do it.”

Harun Vera’s smile widened. “That’s good. Geniuses always have the right to choose. I hope our relationship can be a two-way choice.”

“I’ve spent several days developing a series of teaching and training plans for you that will help you surpass that level of mana as quickly as possible… Hmm?”

Harlan Vera adjusted his glasses. “Locke, your mana seems to be very close to 800.”

“My feeling should be correct, right?”

“It seems that all the teaching plans I made will have to be scrapped and re-written. But this is good, very good, very good.”

Senior Advisor Francis put down his fork in surprise, looked at Locke, then at Harlan Vera, and finally looked at Locke and asked in surprise: “Locke, is your mana close to 800 now?”
