The middle-aged woman's face was a bit pale. Her face without any makeup made her look old.
This woman was clearly Wizard Cheryl. She looked at Lisa and asked, "This is?"
Lisa explained, "This is Leo. He said he is your new apprentice."
Leo saluted and said, "Hello, Teacher Cheryl."
Hearing that, Cheryl nodded and said, "I got it. Did you bring the contract?"
Feng Chou hurriedly took out the contract and handed a copy to Cheryl.
Cheryl looked at the contract and nodded, "Then, from today onwards, you'll be my apprentice. Every Monday, I'll give you all intensive tutoring sessions. During the tutoring sessions, you can ask me any questions you have. The tutoring session is in the small building over there. If you have any questions, you can also come and look for me. As long as I have time, I won't refuse to answer your questions. However, I suggest that you discuss your questions with your classmates first. Easy answers can also be easily forgotten.
The small building over there is open to all of my apprentices. If my apprentices have any questions, they will go there to discuss with their classmates. Only when they can't get the correct answer will they come to me. I hope you can do the same. "
Feng Chou said, "I understand, Teacher Cheryl."
"Oh, that's right. Teacher Cheryl, I've been delayed for half a year due to an accident at home. It's been half a year since I last touched a magic book. So, I need some time to review my previous knowledge. In a month, I'll visit you with my questions."
Cheryl nodded in satisfaction.
Teachers were always satisfied with apprentices who knew how to cherish their teacher's precious time.
After finishing his coffee, Feng Chou bid farewell and left Wizard Cheryl's house.
He returned to his villa and had dinner. The night passed without a word.
Early the next morning, Feng Chou prepared to go to the library in the teaching area.
In the corner of the teaching area closest to the Wizard Tower, there was a building that looked like a quarter of a cake. This building was the academy's library.
In fact, this library only stored materials and books for the apprentice level. The official magic materials and books were all stored in the Wizard Tower.
Feng Chou didn't go to the library directly. Instead, he took Cole and Mickey to the business district and bought a thick blank spellbook. Only then did they walk to the library.
When he arrived at the entrance of the library, there was no one there because it was too early.
The door of the library opened at the sharp corner of a quarter of the cake, directly facing the Wizard Tower. At the entrance of the library stood two huge statues holding swords. It was said that they were two golems.
In front of the golem stood four fully-armed guards.
There was a small display window on the wall next to the entrance of the library. Feng Chou stood in front of the window and handed over a small golden lion (a ten-crown coin). An apprentice in the display window took the coin and handed over a round number.
Feng Chou hung the number with a bracelet on his wrist and told Cole and Mickey to wait for him outside the library. Then, he walked past the four guards and the two golems and entered the library.
Of course, this library wasn't free. Every hour one stayed in here had to pay ten crowns. When the time was up, they either had to pay more, or the librarian would come in and kick them out according to the number.
The only comforting thing was that the apprentices could bring their own spellbooks in to copy the materials inside.
After entering the door, Feng Chou walked around the hall of the library.
The library looked big, but there weren't that many books inside. This was because the entire library only had a circle of bookshelves. There were many tables and chairs in the hall. Even if all the students of the Wizard Academy came in at the same time, there would be more than enough space to sit down.
Even so, this circle of bookshelves still had tens of thousands of books.
And these tens of thousands of books had all been scanned and recorded by Qiankun Pagoda.
Feng Chou randomly picked out a book from the bookshelf, sat in a corner of the library, and pretended to copy the book.
An hour passed quickly. When Feng Chou saw the librarian come in, he quickly put the book back on the shelf and walked out under the librarian's displeased gaze.
After leaving the library, Feng Chou went straight back to the villa. He told everyone not to disturb him when he was studying upstairs. He went upstairs to the study and locked the door. He took Qiankun Pagoda's body off his body and put it in the corner of the bookshelf. He covered it with a book and entered the Universe of the Tower.
Feng Chou wasn't too worried that someone would suddenly break into the study. With Qiankun Pagoda's scanning radius of nearly thirty meters, the entire building was under his surveillance. Even if someone wanted to break in, Qiankun Pagoda would be able to let them out before they broke in.
After entering the Universe of the Tower, Qiankun Pagoda led Feng Chou to the cluster of buildings halfway up the island.
They came to a study. The furnishings in the study were very simple. There was only a table, a chair, and a bookshelf.
Qiankun Pagoda pointed at the bookshelf and said to Feng Chou, "This bookshelf contains all the apprentice-level spell information I've sorted out. Ninety percent of the books in the library are miscellaneous books. There are only a little more than a thousand books related to spells. After I've sorted them out, this is all that's left."
"These books have been organized by me. Some of the originally messy and disorderly information have now been arranged step by step. The related knowledge has been grouped together and guided by the table of contents. It should be more convenient to learn … Of course, because I haven't fully grasped this knowledge, the arrangement and induction might be unreasonable."
Feng Chou took a closer look and found that these books were organized into eleven categories: Basics of Magic, Basics of Defense, Basics of Incantation, Basics of Divination, Basics of Enchantment, Basics of Evoking, Basics of Illusion, Basics of Necromancy, Basics of Transmutation, Basics of General, and Basics of Alchemy.
There were more than ten tomes in each department.
In addition to the bookshelf, there were two thin books on the desk. Feng Chou walked closer to take a look. It turned out to be "Warrior Training Manual" and "Rogue Training Manual".
Feng Chou pointed to the bookshelf of spell information and asked, "You said you didn't understand the knowledge in these books?
Aren't you a super AI? "
Qiankun Pagoda said, "I can only understand the literal meaning in the books. To thoroughly understand and verify these things, I need to do a lot of experiments and some special exploration tools. Most importantly, I need to use your senses to perceive some of the things mentioned in the materials, such as the disturbance of natural energy in the experiments … and a series of things."
Feng Chou frowned and asked, "What do you mean?"
Qiankun Pagoda said, "What I mean is that to figure out these materials, I still need to rely on master to understand them personally. Then I can borrow your understanding of this knowledge to use it. Because I have lost most of my magic, I can't directly explore the rules of this world."
