Chapter 327 The Wizard Who Lost His Hope
Leo looked at him strangely and said, "Yellow Earth Wizard, you wouldn't be thinking of entrusting your daughter to me, would you?"
How did you know?
Huang Tu looked puzzled.
Leo's lips twitched slightly as he said, "Just a guess."
"You guessed quite accurately, I do indeed want to entrust Alice to you."
Leo thought for a moment and said, "Yellow Earth Wizard, are you worried that after the Yalong Club is taken over by Beth Wizard, Alice's position in the Yalong Club will become awkward?"
"That's not it. Actually, Alice has already withdrawn from the Yalong Club. This was a decision made by Wizard Safi," Huang Tu said. "Because Alice lacks talent and has a special status, it's difficult for her to be noticed by other formal wizards."
She might never become a first-class wizard apprentice in this lifetime.
"Therefore, I want to entrust her to a suitable person."
Leo said, "Yellow Earth Wizard, do you think I'm a suitable candidate? You know, I'm not in a good position right now. Many formal wizards are watching me, and I'm also involved in the Tower Master's prophecy."
Leo thought that after saying that, Huang Tu would reconsider.
Unexpectedly, Huang Tu said decisively, "I believe that this matter cannot be handled by anyone but Wizard Leo."
"Your situation is indeed not good, but the path of a wizard is never easy. If Alice joins your ranks, she might actually become a first-class wizard apprentice. But if she joins another wizard's ranks, she'll probably never become a first-class wizard apprentice in her lifetime."
""
Leo said, "Yellow Earth Wizard, are you gambling?"
"So what if it's a gamble?"
"Alice's situation, as well as your abilities and potential, Wizard Leo, make this a worthwhile gamble for me."
Leo sighed and said, "Since you've put it this way, I have no choice but to agree."
Leo is indeed short-staffed right now.
The more wizards you have under your command, the better.
Based on our previous interactions, Alice is at least a usable person.
His apparent reluctance was merely an attempt to ascertain Huang Tu's purpose.
"Speaking of which, Wizard Leo, you must have heard about Wizard Nova's failure to advance, right?"
Leo blinked and said, "It seems the controversy surrounding Nova's failed advancement is spreading like wildfire in the Tower of Dawn."
.
"The name of Nova Wizard is too famous. Even a formal wizard may not have as great a reputation as Nova Wizard in the Tower of Dawn."
Huang Tu said with a mixture of envy and relief, "Although this gave him great fame and help, it also led to Nova Wizard's current predicament."
"Being targeted by so many formal wizards is not a good thing."
Leo asked, "Yellow Earth Wizard, you should now have mastered the nine spells of the Spell Pyramid, as well as the prototype of the Permanent Defense Field. You only need the Spell Box to attempt to advance to a full-fledged wizard."
Upon hearing this, Huang Tu's face darkened, and he said, "I've given up hope of becoming a formal wizard. Leo, do you know how many times I've tried to advance to that level?"
"Eight times. I've used up eight portions of Ink Gold. Now, the other official wizards have no expectations of me anymore."
"They can't possibly use their last remaining share of Mexican gold on me."
Huang Tu sighed and said, "Actually, the matter of Mo Jin, on the surface, seems to be that formal wizards disregarded everything and stripped first-class wizard apprentices of their combination spells. However, it wasn't like that at the beginning."
"At that time, the formal wizards provided great assistance to the first-class wizard apprentices and gave them enough time to prepare and attempt to advance."
"Even in the past, formal wizards did not strip away the combination spells of first-class wizard apprentices when they failed to advance, as is the case now."
"But in the past, too many first-class wizard apprentices were overly arrogant. Because they had ample resources of black gold, they had no worries at all. As long as they felt confident of advancing, they would consume black gold."
"Gradually, this led to the current situation where the relationship between a formal wizard and a first-class wizard apprentice who is about to be promoted has become a morbid relationship of protection and exploitation."
Upon hearing this, Leo's eyes widened in surprise. He said, "I never imagined it was like this before. No wonder the relationship between first-class wizard apprentices and full wizards has become like this."
"Yes, no matter how magnanimous the formal wizards are, this kind of unlimited waste of dark gold resources to try to advance will only lead to fewer and fewer opportunities to become a formal wizard. In fact, now, if even one more person fails, it will mean that from now on, no one will be able to advance to become a formal wizard."
Leo said, "Yellowstone Wizard, if I said I could bring you a sufficient amount of Dark Gold, would you like to try to advance?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Tu fell silent.
A flicker of struggle crossed his face.
Finally, Huang Tu said, "Forget it... Eight failures have completely shattered my hopes. I can't even imagine myself ever having a chance to become a formal wizard."
Leo did not continue to persuade him.
The more failures one experiences, the lower the chance of becoming a full-fledged wizard; this is supported by reliable data.
A first-class wizard apprentice who has failed to advance eight times is indeed very likely to fail again.
As Huang Tu himself said, he had given up hope.
Anthony's Lab.
Anthony looked up and happened to see Leo.
He smiled and said, "Wizard Leo, you came to check on me very quickly today."
At this moment, Anthony shone his light on a lovely-looking girl next to Leo.
"Wizard Leo, who is this?"
"Her name is Alice. She will be working for me from now on. I hope you can get her involved in the research here as well."
Anthony said, "That's no problem. This research project is already short-staffed. Because of Wizard Kindley, there are very few excellent wizards willing to come to this research project. Now, let alone second-class wizard apprentices, it's even difficult to find a third-class wizard apprentice to help."
"Even third-class wizard apprentices who have only recently arrived at the Tower of Dawn have been warned by others."
At this point, Anthony sighed, but quickly recovered.
After failing to advance, the research on this exoskeleton spell absorption equipment was of little value to Anthony.
After all, Augusta had helped him once, and he couldn't possibly give him a second chance.
Leo was well aware of Anthony's thoughts, but he didn't expose his practice of secretly giving data to Augusta.
In any case, Augusta would not voluntarily disclose this research; at most, she would give the finished product to the Knights to use.
