“Hey, have you heard? Yesterday, one of the new Wizard Apprentices, just like us, was noticed by a Wizard and taken as a disciple!”
“Didn’t they say that all the apprentices with high-level talent were already chosen?”
“It’s precisely because he wasn’t a high-level talent that everyone was so surprised!”
“Not high-level talent? Why?”
At this, not only him, but all the other new Wizard Apprentices who overheard their conversation perked up.
Since an apprentice without high-level talent was noticed by a Wizard, then perhaps I could also… Seeing the new Wizard Apprentices around the cafeteria with their ears perked up, clearly paying attention, the speaking new Wizard Apprentice’s lips curved into a slight smile, and his voice involuntarily grew a little louder as he said, “It is said that besides mental talent, there are many special talents.
These special talents are extremely rare, but each one is enough for a Wizard to make an exception and take them as an apprentice, and some special talents are even more important than mental talent.
Once a special talent is discovered, even if one has low-level mental talent, there’s a very high chance of being valued!
And that new Wizard Apprentice who was noticed by the Wizard has a medium-level talent; the two combined make them even more favored by those Wizards than those with purely high-level talent!”
“So, that means we still have a chance…”
As soon as these words came out, all the new Wizard Apprentices erupted in chatter. They discussed loudly, one after another, and as the discussion grew heated, some even began to feel that they, too, probably possessed some unknown special talent, until a sneer rang out in the ears of the new Wizard Apprentices.
“Heh, a bunch of trash dreaming here?
Special talents are several times rarer than high-level mental talents. You wastes, whose mental talent isn’t even medium-level, are still dreaming of possessing special talents?
Do you even have the fate for it?”
“You…”
A new Wizard Apprentice from a noble family, who was in the midst of a heated discussion, subconsciously turned to glare at the speaker, about to say something, but immediately saw the Novice Wizard Apprentice badge on the speaker’s chest.
In an instant, the new Wizard Apprentice’s face turned pale, but very quickly, his expression immediately became fawning, and he bowed deeply to the Novice Wizard Apprentice.
“This adult is right. Low-level wastes like us, of course, are not qualified to possess such talent. My chatter just now was truly disturbing to the adult. We will leave now, we will leave now.”
Listening to the other party’s fawning, almost pleading words, the Novice Wizard Apprentice lowered his slightly raised finger, abandoning the idea of teaching him a lesson.
Turning to look at the new Wizard Apprentices’ almost reverent attitude towards him, he nodded with satisfaction, held his acne-covered face high, and his short stature seemed to grow significantly taller in an instant.
Lowering his head to eat the egg on his plate, Dylan hadn’t participated in the discussion about special talents just now, nor did he pay attention to the Novice Wizard Apprentice now.
Speaking of special talents, his Dual Souls and Mental Echo definitely counted as one of them, but as a transmigrator, Dylan really didn’t dare to gamble whether those Wizards would discover his secret.
One should know, as a veteran player of the game that serves as this world’s background, he was very clear about the Wizards’ character. As long as it benefited them, as long as they were curious, deeply dissecting an apprentice with just a bit of talent was merely basic practice.
The current him couldn’t save and load like in the game; he had no cost for trial and error, so he had to be careful and cautious, taking one step at a time.
But then again, among this batch of new Wizard Apprentices, there were only five with medium-level mental talent. If it wasn’t him, then who exactly was that person with special talent?
Meliya, that sharp-tongued gossip?
Sera, that sycophantic follower?
Or Daisy, that seemingly timid girl?
Relatively speaking, Liam, who would later be known as the Son of the Black Tower and leave his name in this world, had a higher possibility of possessing special talent.
“You want me to eat this kind of thing?! I won’t eat it!”
Looking at the breakfast thrown out from the adjacent dorm, Dylan, finding the voice familiar, subconsciously glanced into the half-open dorm and saw the green-faced gossip and the sycophant softly trying to persuade her.
Indeed, the one with special talent was not one of those two.
So, the one with special talent was indeed… Liam?!
Looking somewhat surprised at Liam, who walked out of a dorm ahead, Dylan truly hadn’t expected that the seemingly timid young fellow from yesterday actually possessed a special talent valued even by official Wizards. And the future Son of the Black Tower, as he remembered, was indeed just a new Wizard Apprentice with medium-level talent.
It seems this fellow might have a secret.
Liam shivered involuntarily.
He had felt it before; whenever he talked to Dylan, the other’s gaze seemed to be able to see through his soul, making Liam feel an unease as if he were naked.
Forcing a smile, Liam looked at Dylan and said, “Dylan, you must have heard the news about Daisy being noticed by a Wizard and taken away, right?”
“I know now.”
Liam looked at Dylan, his lips moving slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but the words remained unspoken. It wasn’t until Dylan bid farewell and walked past him that Liam, with his head lowered, whispered to him, “Dylan, there’s never a free lunch in the Wizard’s world.”
Dylan’s steps paused slightly.
Dylan knew what Liam was hinting at.
Although he didn’t need Liam’s hint at all, he still appreciated it.
“Thanks. Last night, I meditated using the Basic Meditation Technique I exchanged with points.”
Hearing this, Liam was stunned for a moment, then a slight smile curved his lips as he nodded.
At this, they said no more, and the two walked past each other.
Returning to his dorm, Dylan looked at the three Hui Guang Tree saps on the table. Without hesitation, he took them and went straight to Sera’s dorm.
“Sera, are you interested in acquiring these three Hui Guang Tree saps?”
Sera, who was standing at the dorm entrance sweeping up the spilled food, looked at the three Hui Guang Tree saps in Dylan’s hand with a glint in his eyes, somewhat surprised.
He subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to reach for the magic potion in Dylan’s hand. But before he could extend his hand, Dylan took a step back, smiling at him.
“So, how much are you willing to pay for these three magic potions?”
Swallowing, Sera looked at the three magic potions with burning eyes.
Last night, Meliya tried to meditate without taking the magic potion, but the results were very unsatisfactory; she didn’t even successfully condense the first Hui Guang rune. However, after taking the magic potion, Meliya not only successfully condensed the Hui Guang rune but even condensed most of the second Hui Guang rune!
Because of this, Meliya took all of his magic potions.
Now, Dylan actually wanted to sell such precious magic potions to him. Sera, of course, couldn’t give up.
