Chapter 77 Difficult Road
Yuli held her forehead, showing a look of helplessness. "Locke, you really shouldn't talk about a lady's age."
She became serious and replied seriously: "This is the curse of aging. You will soon know, the huge gap between a formal wizard and a first-class apprentice..."
She showed deep fear on her old face, as if she had thought of some indescribable horror. "You will not understand why the gap is so big. Then, you will find that within the originally huge gap, it is extremely difficult to improve your mental power."
"Even the meditation method has become very unreliable."
“In the stagnation of progress year after year, under the relentless pressure of my wizard mentor Harlan Vera, who looked at me with disappointment again and again, and finally gave up completely on me, I chose to conduct dangerous research. I was doing a kind of aging curse on my soul, and through the method of undoing the curse , to enhance one's mental strength. "
"Let your soul be exposed to the curse repeatedly - to break the curse."
Locke frowned. Even if he had not seen Yuli's specific operation, just hearing this description, he felt extremely dangerous.
This is walking a tightrope.
As long as there is little control, the soul will be cursed to death by itself.
This is no different from taking deadly poison every day.
Julie Burns lowered her head and sighed. "But my talent is not enough in the end. My experiment went out of control, and the aging curse bit back my soul. I could barely survive, but my future was lost."
"I have also transformed from a woman who was enthusiastically pursued by many male wizards to an ugly old woman."
"And not only that, I have also been caught up in the ongoing investigation of the ethical review mechanism of the White Wizards Association, because some of my experiments violated ethical review. "This made it difficult for me to find a normal job, and only Mrs. Irina took me in."
Yoli Burns smiled helplessly: "Locke, it's funny, before the accident, I was still complaining about the rules and regulations set by the White Wizard Association, which restricted my development."
"But after the incident, I realized that the White Wizard Association asked us to conduct an ethical review in order to protect ourselves."
"People who are addicted to their own power can easily get lost in themselves, and eventually let that power come back to bite them."
Locke did not expect that the promotion path of a first-class wizard apprentice would be so difficult, and he comforted her a few words. "Yuri, those who can become a first-class wizard apprentice are not too talented."
"I believe that you will find a way to get yourself out of this embarrassing situation. As long as a person is alive, there will always be a way to make a comeback."
"There is no magic potion that can lift the curse on you."
Yuri laughed hoarsely. "Locke, you are so kind."
“Thank you, but we are different and you won’t understand. You don’t understand the pain of people like us. A genius like you will never understand these things.”
Yuri whispered: "I am an apprentice in the direction of potions. I know what I am doing. I have placed a curse on my soul for too long. I drank a bottle of aging potion every day for at least five years, and drank more anti-curse potions. The aging curse is deeply entangled with my soul..."
"Ordinary first-level potion masters will shy away when they see me in this situation."
"Afraid that I will ruin their reputation."
Yuli's eyes flashed with resentment, which was the hatred for her wizard mentor, "If my wizard mentor at that time, Harlan Vera, stopped me, everything would be different, but he didn't."
"He's always like that."
"In his eyes, there are only those glamorous students."
Yuli quickly suppressed her anger, and she nodded apologetically to Locke. "I'm sorry, Locke, I shouldn't have lost my composure in front of you."
"I talked too much today."
"I'm sorry." Yuli implored: "After all, it's my fault, so please don't tell anyone the nonsense I just said... Okay. Is that..."
Loke nodded, waved his hands and said: "I didn't hear anything."
"Well, manager Yuli, I wish you good luck. We have a happy cooperation."
Locke stood up and walked out of the store.
He himself still has a lot of things to deal with. Applying to expand the botanical garden has to go through the ethical review mechanism of the White Wizard Association, which is a lot of work.
And this time, if I want to expand the botanical garden, I will change the size of the botanical garden to a medium-sized one.
Sophia Witch is also unlikely to help herself pass the review quickly. The White Wizard Association will not be too strict in the review of the botanical gardens of second-class wizard apprentices, but it must be extremely careful in the review of the botanical gardens of first-class wizard apprentices.
It has only been fifty years since the abyssal plant disaster caused by the Qinghuan Society in the southeastern corner.
The store manager Youli stood up to see her off.
After leaving Lijin Secret Whisper, Locke visited the slave warehouse in the Chimera Market again and found Benny, the dark elf waiter from last time, preparing to purchase another batch of tauren slaves.
At least five more tauren should be added.
In the street where the slave warehouse is located, Dark Elf Benny cautiously said to Locke: "Dear Lord Locke, the current value of the Tauren noble slaves has been restored to 10 magic stones per person."
h "But the quality of our shop remains the same. Every tauren noble slave has been strictly re-educated in enchantment magic. They will never betray their master, nor will their IQ be affected."
Locke frowned dissatisfied. "Wasn't it a 5 magic stone before?"
Dark Elf Benny was a little frightened under the pressure of magic that Locke inadvertently radiated, and some beads of sweat flowed from his forehead. "Dear guest, it's like this. Nine months ago, a large number of high-quality orc slaves entered the market, so the price dropped. But now the price has returned to normal."
"Although the slaves in our shop are expensive, the quality is absolutely guaranteed."
Locke nodded slightly. This is true. After all, his botanical garden cannot use slaves who are unconscious. Most of the work in his botanical garden requires a certain amount of intelligence and understanding.
Locke said: "Okay, here are fifty magic stones. I want five tauren noble slaves."
Dark Elf Benny breathed a sigh of relief, "Dear guest, you bought two slaves with the blood of ancient creatures last time. Are you interested in research in this area?"
"Recently there is another slave with the blood of ancient creatures in the store "Mermaid slaves."
Locke said: "No need for the moment."
The two catwomen from last time haven't finished their research yet. There is no need to buy any more mermaids. This is not how you use your money.
Money should be spent wisely.
In the future, I will still have plenty of places to spend magic stones.
