This wizard only wants to take students

Lucian looked at Carly and shook his head slowly.

Then he unfolded the task scroll and read the content in detail.

[Task] Investigate the disappearance of apprentice Elnor Shay

[Description] Elnor Shay, the wizard stationed on Cosai Island, has lost contact with the academy for half a year. During this period, the academy sent wizard apprentices to investigate, but none of them succeeded. According to reliable intelligence, the last sighting point of Elnor Shay before his disappearance was in Lockerbie Village next to the Zibal Forest on Cosai Island...

[Requirements] (Complete one of the tasks to complete the task) (Completed by the three apprentices in charge of this task)

1. Investigate the mystery of the disappearance of wizard apprentice Elnor Shay and solve the supernatural events behind it.

2. Replace Elnor Shay to garrison Cosai Island for 3 years to ensure a smooth supply of moonlight moss.

"Huh." Lucian closed the task scroll and exhaled lightly.

Carly still wanted to say something at this time, but Lucian interrupted her. "This is a mandatory task, so don't say anything more, Carly."

Carly was silent.

The class system of the Gray Bone Academy is clearly divided. In addition to the elusive dean who sits high in the clouds, the formal wizards, third-level wizard apprentices and other weak apprentices constitute three different classes with clear class distinctions.

Perhaps the third-level wizard apprentice is high above the weak apprentices and plays the role of a real exploiter. But in front of the formal wizards, the third-level wizard apprentice can only play the role of an exploited person, and the mandatory tasks once every three years are the most naked manifestation of this. As long as they are arranged, they cannot be refused.

Of course, because of the contract, the Gray Bone Academy cannot set some tasks that deliberately let apprentices die, such as letting a third-level wizard apprentice directly face the formal wizards of other forces.

But most of these rigid regulations have loopholes that can be exploited. For example, the investigation task that Lucian received is very simple according to the description and meets the provisions of the contract.

But if we look at the specific situation, this mission is a suicide mission for an average third-level wizard apprentice, and it should be safe to be investigated by a formal wizard leader.

The missing wizard apprentice Elnor Shay in the mission description is just a veteran second-level wizard apprentice, that is, relying on years of accumulated experience and two matching wizard tools to exert the combat power of a third-level wizard apprentice. His real strength may not be as good as Apollo who had fought with Lucian before.

But the key is not the missing second-level wizard apprentice, but the understated "witchcraft apprentices were sent to investigate, but none of them succeeded" in the mission description.

According to what Lucian learned himself, three second-level wizard apprentices have disappeared on Kosai Island, and a third-level wizard apprentice and a second-level wizard apprentice have died!

This incident even alarmed the formal wizards.

Not long ago, Wizard Heli personally went to Kosai Island to investigate, but after patrolling for more than a month, he did not find any suspicious clues and finally had to return.

However, as a precious island that produces the resource [Moonlight Moss], the academy was reluctant to let go of Kosay Island.

So when no formal wizard was willing to sacrifice himself and take the initiative to stay on Kosay Island, the academy finally decided to let three third-level wizard apprentices form a task force to go to Kosay Island for investigation.

If the investigation could not find out the truth, they would need to stay on Kosay Island for three years to ensure that the disappearance would not affect the subsequent development of Kosay Island.

But everyone knows that the danger on Kosay Island has not been eliminated, but hidden or transferred.

If it is the latter, it is fine, at most it can only be regarded as being exiled to the remote Kosay Island for three years, but if it is the former, it will be troublesome.

After all, the danger that could make a well-prepared third-level wizard apprentice die in battle without even being able to send back any news is at least the peak combat power of a third-level wizard apprentice, and there is even a small probability that it is at the level of a formal wizard.

And Lucian and the other three wizard apprentices are undoubtedly high-level cannon fodder sent out to "tread on mines".

"Leaving in a month? There's still some time." Lucian exhaled lightly, looking at Carly, whose eyes were now a little watery, and felt that his student was just about to send him flowers.

Lucian forced a stiff smile, and then knocked Carly's head.

This time he used a little more force, and directly knocked out Carly's tears.

"Hmm..." Carly covered her head.

"It's just a mission outside, there's no need to be so pessimistic." Lucian rubbed Carly's little head. "Besides, maybe it's a good thing for me to go out on a mission, better than in the academy."

Carly looked at Lucian, and felt that this was Teacher Lucian comforting her.

But she was wrong. Lucian's words were not all comfort, but he really thought so in his heart.

Because he was not an ordinary third-level wizard apprentice, but a visitor from another world who had traveled through time and space.

When he first crossed over to the wizarding world, Lucian was just a seriously injured and dying third-level wizard apprentice. So when he used the system's ability, other wizards saw him as just a lucky third-level wizard apprentice who had recovered from his injuries, and they did not pay much attention to him.

But if the strength of Lucian, an originally mediocre third-level wizard apprentice, rises like a rocket in the next period of time, then it is unlikely that he will arouse the interest of some formal wizards.

If the secrets of the system are exposed, Lucian feels that he is lucky to be able to lie intact on the autopsy table of a formal wizard. It is more likely that he will be shared by a group of formal wizards with dazzling eyes. studied and then stored long-term in the form of sectioned specimens.

Therefore, if Lucian cannot find a way to avoid the attention of the official wizard, he needs to lie dormant, behave like a normal third-level wizard apprentice, and find a new official wizard as a background. While accepting his protection, It is also necessary to accept various unequal treaties.

If Lucian chooses to hibernate, he will not attract the attention of an official wizard, but his cultivation speed will undoubtedly be affected and he will have to slow down. But what should we do about the threat from Norian?

Lucian didn't think that the official wizard he was looking for would actually fight another official wizard head-on for him.

What's more, Lucian is not very willing to sign a contract with an official wizard.

After all, once a contract is signed, it is equivalent to signing a contract of betrayal for at least five years. The constraints and oppression are too great!
