Chapter 584: Participating in the second-class fund defense
In the corridor on the third floor of Zhenzhiyuan Castle, Locke walked into it.
The time displayed on the alchemy clock in the corridor shows that it is almost one o'clock. As it is my defense meeting, I have to enter the venue as soon as possible.
At the same time, Locke took the information and was about to walk in when he saw the languid-looking wizard Daniel walking out of the conference room.
Wizard Daniel was stunned for a moment when he saw Locke. "Locke?"
Locke immediately realized that Daniel had also recently applied for the completion of the project, so he smiled and said: "Daniel, how are you, have you passed the completion of the second-class fund project? By the way, have you applied for the first-class fund project this time?
Daniel fell silent, his face was ugly, his eyes were gloomy, completely different from the cheerful look in the past.
Locke immediately realized something was wrong and suppressed the smile on his face. At the same time, he noticed that this time, Wizard Daniel did not have any shop allies following him.
"What's wrong?"
Daniel did not answer Locke's question, but just lowered his head. Only then did Locke realize that he looked haggard, and the wizard's robe was not very clean.
There was even a cut on his face.
Daniel subconsciously wanted to avoid it, turned around and walked away.
Loke frowned.
But Daniel stopped halfway, looked at Locke and whispered: "Yunze Wetland is more sinister than I thought. All my money has been defrauded."
"Two million magic stones, and they asked me to borrow a loan of 3 million magic stones."
Daniel said bitterly: "I didn't pass my defense at all today. Because of the lack of funds and the severe psychological damage, I didn't admit it at all. Really do it."
"Today, I was severely criticized by a three-ring weather master from Bonifacius University. He told me that there are many geniuses in Jinmian Mountain Yunze Wetland, so I should not be self-righteous."
"I am not special!"
Daniel had a bitter smile on his face. "Locke, you're right, Witch Rena - I don't even know if her name is that. She is really a liar." The store has filed for bankruptcy, but I can’t get my money back. "
"And, she disappeared without a trace."
"You actually used other people’s money to make venture capital!" Locke frowned. "Didn't I send you the chat history she gave me?"
"Can you trust someone like her? Even if you really want to do leverage, you should find a serious forecaster who graduated from Quinjor University. Group prediction is what they are best at. Quinjor University has a wealth of disciplines for making predictions in chaotic systems."
Daniel smiled bitterly. "I was carried away by love, and she was carried away by the one million magic stones I earned in the early stage. In the Fission Tomb, I had never been exposed to so much money. So——"
"In short, I was lost in money." There was even a hint of fear in Daniel's eyes. "Money is such a terrible thing.
When I didn't have it, I felt like I was in dire need, but when I got it, I became even worse."
Daniel said bitterly: "Is it because I don't have the ability to hold on to so much money?"
Daniel's eyes were full of confusion. "In short, after knowing that I owed so much money, my colleagues in the laboratory pretended that I did not exist and would not talk to me. Unless I took the initiative to find them." Not as good as that, but when I asked them carefully about their attitude, they said that I was overthinking it. But I knew what those people were thinking, that they were afraid of me and defrauding them of their money. Locke didn't know how to comfort him. "At least you now know the true face of that witch."
Daniel Wizard shook his head. "Five hundred cubes of magic stone, how can I afford it? And without funds, I can't complete my research. I estimate that I may be eliminated from Zhenzhiyuan next year."
A bitter smile appeared on Wizard Daniel's face. "With a single thought, I fell from heaven to hell. A good situation was completely ruined by me. Locke, I really regret it——. If I had known this, I should have listened to you."
"In that case, maybe I would have passed the second-class fund project with you now."
"Yunze Wetland is indeed too dangerous." Wizard Daniel said: "Right now, my future has been ruined by my own hands."
Daniel was about to leave, but Locke suddenly stopped him, and after thinking for a moment, he said to him: "Daniel, I know a powerful contractor named Haishan. If you need it, I can recommend it to you."
"No matter when and where, never give up hope."
" Today's despair may be just a joke to you in the future. But if you give up hope, you will lose even this hope." Wizard Daniel was shaken. He turned to look at Locke, opened his mouth, and shook his head: "There is no need for a contractor. Now I don't even have the money to hire a contractor."
"Locke, there will be countless temptations on the way to pursue the truth. I did not resist those temptations for a while, and allowed the weaknesses in my character to corrode my heart, causing me to make mistakes and fall into the abyss."
"I am not wronged in the current result. You must not trust others as easily as I did."
Daniel turned and left. He opened the door and said softly: "Locke, thank you. You are the only wizard who has encouraged me after this happened."
"Just after I thought that no one in the whole world would care about me anymore."
Locke watched Daniel's figure disappear at the end of the corridor and sighed slightly, there was no way, this was Daniel's own choice.
The world of wizards is so cruel. There are so many competitions on the road ahead, and there are many temptations and deceptions. Those who are weak-willed will be dragged down from this path of pursuing the truth, even if they are talented enough.
Locke thought about it and whispered: "What determines whether I can move forward is not only my talent, but also my character. What happened to the wizard Daniel is a warning to me. If I make the wrong choice, one step will lead to an abyss. Because this is the Yunze Wetland!"
The place where countless wizards have been accomplished and buried.
How many wizards have made great achievements here and pursued the truth, but there are so many wizards who have abandoned their dreams and stopped here.
The road to pursuing the truth is so difficult, there will be fewer and fewer people traveling with it, and therefore every traveler is so valuable.
The Celtic team leader walked out of the meeting room, ran to the corridor, and asked in a low voice: "Locke? What are you doing standing here? You are the protagonist today. This is your defense meeting."
"The three-ring wizards and the sun-ring wizards are all waiting for you, the protagonist, to appear."
Kelt came over, invited Locke to accompany him, and whispered to him: "The three-ring wizard who will preside over your defense today is Master Milady from the Art University, one of the seven top wizard organizations in Yunze Wetland."
Locke looked at Team Leader Celtic in confusion. "Team leader, do you have any questions?"
"Kasiros Art University? So this three-ring wizard is a master speed painter?"
A flash of panic flashed in the eyes of the Celtic team leader, and he whispered: "Don't mention the speed painter in front of the wizards of Kaxi Ross Art University."
· "There are still many branches in the visual magic sub-direction of the illusion school. The speed painters in Yunze Wetland are not the mainstream. The mainstream here is the ink painter, using water as the carrier and ink as the pen."
"In short, mentioning speed painters in front of the Cassiros University of the Arts is easy to be targeted by that group of artists, just like an old birthday girl eating frost. Cathy Rose's group thinks that speed painters just have a serious misunderstanding of aesthetics and are a group of soulless instant painters."
"Master Milady is not an ink painter, he is a master breeder and a master troubadour."
The leader of the Celtic group asked strangely: "Have you not heard of the name of Cassi Rose University? That is the place where the artists of Yunze Wetland were born."
"The ink painters of Cassi Rose University have a tradition of not lighting up the paintings. Once they are illuminated, the things in the paintings can come alive and attack you."
"The troubadours of Cassi Rose University are also the artists of Yunze Wetland Chao'er is the big star of Yunze Wetland. The point is not this, but the other identity of Master Milady - the breeder. "
Seeing Locke's eyes become more confused, the Celtic team leader whispered: "Master Milady is also the main promoter of the overlord cultivation method. Now you understand!"
Locke immediately knew what the Celtic team leader was worried about.
Master Milady is a master of both the illusion school and the life school. He is also the authority on overlord cultivation technology in Yunze Wetland.
At this moment, Locke's reply fell into his hands, just like Li Gui met Li Kui, or like Guan Gong playing with a machete in front of the gate.
Generally, it is very troublesome to encounter situations where your research direction happens to be that of a big boss in the same industry.
Basically you can only admit that you are unlucky.
Leader Celtic said: "The most troublesome thing is that there is a second-level wizard among the judges this time, who is also engaged in overlord breeding."
"This time the judge was contacted by the witch Ekaterina. Lord Throne, you may have your own ideas."
Leader Celtic patted Locke on the shoulder. "Good luck."
Locke nodded, then firmly opened the door to the conference room and walked in. At that time, more than a dozen wizards in the conference room looked at Locke.
Three defense judges, some wizards who were observing the study, and wizard representatives from major shop alliances.
At the same time, Locke also saw Master Milady from Cassiros Art University. He was wearing a red, white, black and blue checkered wizard robe. He had ten magic rings on his hands, two magic necklaces around his neck, several magic bracelets on his arms, and a bunch of magic weapons on his body.
The decorative function of these magic weapons is better than the actual function.
At the same time, he also has a magic tattoo on his right arm, and his hair is long but dyed.
Locke also discovered that the Milady master’s heterochromatic contact lenses were extremely fashionable!
Locke looked at the usual position of Witch Ekaterina in this conference room. It was a pity that Witch Ekaterina still did not come to participate in the final defense meeting of the second-class fund project.
The seat where his co-supervisor should have been sitting was empty.
Even so, the table in front of that position was still filled with the special fruits of Golden Mian Mountain to show respect to the wizard of the throne.
Master Milady snapped his fingers. "Very good, the young man has come in. Hey - we can start -"
Master Milady has a strange rhythm when he speaks, as if he is rapping. However, when he speaks like this, every word will penetrate into everyone's ears so clearly that people cannot forget it.
He obviously did not use magic, but because when he spoke, he complied with certain magical laws, so even if he did not use magic, his voice contained a magical power.
Master Milady looked at the second-circle sun-circle wizard Sis George of Group 2 of Golden Mian Mountain beside him.
"
Sis George next to him was a close confidant of the Ekaterina witch. He was always serious. Therefore, when faced with the three-ring wizard speaking like this, he could only squeeze out a smile from his dead face to make it seem like he matched the three-ring wizard's style.
Wizard Sith George smiled stiffly and said: "Well - I didn't take these two wizards personally, so I don't know much about their situation. I hope their performance will not disappoint us, especially Master Milady."
The third wizard was a second-ring breeder from the Council of Roses. He smiled at this moment. "Augustine. I seem to have heard of this name recently. Where is it?"
Master Milady smiled, then made a pistol gesture to Locke on the stage, and said to Locke with the index fingers of both hands:
"Don't be nervous, don't be casual. Academics are rigorous, not street tricks. If the argument is strong enough, I will nod. Oh yeah-"
On the stage, Locke looked calm. He nodded to Master Milady and said, "Okay, thank you, Master Milady, for your guidance."
"I tried not to be nervous."
Milady seemed to have discovered something and looked at Locke in surprise. "You are not timid. I like your temperament. Finally, I caught a living person in Jinmian Mountain."
The Sith wizard seemed to have found some outlet. He coughed, frowned at Locke, and scolded Locke, saying: "This is a reply. Pay attention to the seriousness, and you must maintain respect in front of the three-ring wizard."
Master Milady looked at him unhappily. "Little Sith, relax, the data must be strong, but don't look so hard that you are completely confused like a Sith wizard who owes tens of millions.
He looked at Master Milady doubtfully. Witch Ekaterina has always been an extremely majestic and mysterious image in his eyes, and he could not understand her words and deeds at all.
At this moment, the image of the three-ring wizard was crumbling under the impact of Master Milady.
The third judge of the Rose Council smiled. He had seen enough of the show, so he said to Locke: "Researcher, you can start."
「I hope you can give us a non-boring reply.」
