Night had quietly fallen.
In the downtown area of New Haven, in a private room of a hotel that looked very high-end and elegant.
"Dilis, haven't you completed your research mission for this season?"
Leaning on the soft sofa, Anthony gently swirled the wine glass in his hand, the purplish red wine swirling along the walls of the glass. Looking at the girl who was still studying a piece of parchment in the corner, he asked casually.
"Ah, almost!"
Putting down the parchment filled with drawings and symbols, Dilis scratched her head in vexation and grumbled, "I'm not sure if it's true.
"Because of Elvin's reminder last time, I've already circled a few media that can stabilize the 'Strong Voodoo Potion'. I thought I could produce results quickly.
However, he was stuck at the step of finding the best ratio of stabilizer and potion, as well as the subsequent processing method. The difference between the different ratios was like the difference between heaven and earth. In the worst case, even the glass bottle used to hold the potion would melt instantly!
Oh my god, I'm going crazy! "
She got up and picked up another glass of wine beside Anthony and drank it all in one gulp. She let out a sigh of alcohol in an unladylike manner, "Sometimes I'm really jealous of geniuses like Elvin. He has countless wonderful ideas and powerful execution ability to turn his ideas into reality. Compared to him, I feel that I'm hopelessly stupid. "
"Hehe, how can a person who can obtain three heavyweight medals, the 'Hippocratic Medal', the 'Iron Cross Medal' blessed by the Goddess and the 'Pioneer Medal' personally awarded by His Royal Highness be simple?
Not only your potion research, he also helped me a lot in the 'Evolution of the Old and New Runes of the Continent' project. The few research missions that the association assigned to him were all completed by him in the shortest time possible.
I have a premonition that our new friend will surpass us sooner or later and become a real official wizard first! "
Anthony heard Dilis's complaint and gave a different opinion.
"Oh? Aren't you jealous, Anthony? He's obviously a newbie, but he's improving at an unbelievable speed and then left us old timers far behind. "
Dilis looked at her companion playfully. She raised her glass and let him pour her another glass of wine.
Anthony didn't mind Dilis's teasing. At this moment, he was like a wise man who could see through the fog, explaining his thoughts to her.
"You and I both know very well that in the world of superhumans, family, resources, and worldly power can only provide us with help at the basic level. And the higher a superhuman's level was, the more they had to rely on their natural endowments, spirituality, and even the illusory luck.
A mediocre person might only reach the level of an official Magus after a lifetime of hard work. If they were unlucky, they would be stuck as a low-level Apprentice for the rest of their life. However, those geniuses were able to challenge the Truth Manifestation of the Superior Sorcerer, or even the legendary Crown Sorcerer.
Although I'm only a small Apprentice Sorcerer, based on my experience in the association and the investigation of my family, our Mister Elvin has the potential to become the brightest star among all the members who have joined the association in the past ten years. "
As they spoke, the wine in his hand had already reached its peak aroma and color. Anthony took a sip and said in a distant tone, "So, my family and I are very willing to become friends with such a person, and not … enemies."
If Elvin were to hear the two's evaluation of him, he would definitely feel ashamed.
The innumerable fantastic ideas came from his previous life's vision and knowledge that transcended the current era. His ability to see through the nature of scientific research came from his "Data Analysis Vision." His insane level of execution came from his strict self-discipline. His astonishing learning speed was due to his habit of learning and the help of external cheats that he had developed in the past.
These had nothing to do with being a genius, at least not as much as the two of them thought.
"Alright, maybe there is a gap between mediocre people like us who joined the association because of the long-term cooperation between our family and 'Violet Eyes', and real geniuses.
However, I won't be satisfied with just stepping into this magical circle. No matter what, I will do my best to become a real Sorcerer and control my own destiny! "
Dilis's eyes stared at the wine in her hand that was constantly shaking. Her tone was calm, but it revealed a determination that most men could not compare to.
After all, as a female member of a big family, the path of Sorcerer was her only hope to avoid the fate of being married into her family and helping her husband and children.
Usually, she enjoyed all kinds of resources and privileges from her family, so how could she not contribute at the crucial moment? Those who got a huge advantage but still selfishly pursued freedom, individuality, and love without caring about the big picture, were really too weak.
It was Dilis's choice to work hard and improve herself to be more valuable than a marriage alliance.
Although it was difficult, she never regretted it!
"Right, why is that guy from Alba still not back after so long?" Anthony did not want to talk about the heavy topic of the future, so he interrupted.
He took out a silver pocket watch inlaid with gems and looked at it. He frowned and said unhappily, "And it's already time for the dishes to be served. When did these guys become so unruly?"
His tone was strict, as if the waiter in the hotel was his servant.
However, he was one of the few people who had the right to say such words, because this hotel was the property of Anthony's family. Disrupting the normal dining process was not only a loss of face to the upper class, but also a disrespect to the guests!
Ring ring ring —
Anthony rang the bell to summon the waiter.
"Hmm?"
After not getting a response for a long time, Anthony became more and more dissatisfied. His face was so gloomy that it could almost drip water. He got up and was about to rush out of the room. He wanted to see if these guys had eaten a bear's heart or a leopard's guts to repeatedly make so many low-level mistakes.
"Wait, Anthony, listen!"
At this time, Dilis reached out and pressed Anthony down. She put her index finger in front of her lips and gently shushed him.
"Is that … the sound of ballroom music? What ballroom is there today? Why don't I know about it? "
Just as the questions came out of his mouth, Anthony instantly realized that something was wrong. Although he had been living like a prince and had not experienced any danger. In the Transcendent world, as an Extraordinaire who was involved in the mysteries, he was still vigilant.
He quietly came to the wall and took down the decorative sword hanging on the wall. He checked the few commonly used amulets on his body and the few unique rings on his hand. He gave Dilis a look and walked to the door first.
Swish —
Dilis pulled off the hem of her long dress so that it would not affect her movements. She took out two short swords from the black scabbard tied to her thigh under her dress. She brandished the swords and followed after him.
When she came to Anthony's side, the hilts of the two swords clashed. A layer of sharp airflow that was almost invisible to the naked eye instantly lingered on the gleaming blades. These two short swords were actually a set of Transcendent weapons.
In fact, there were many ways for the wizards in this world to improve their physical fitness. High-level magic potions, witchcraft rituals, magical tools, and so on. Most of the wizards who had an orthodox inheritance or belonged to a school of thought could have a physical fitness comparable to an official Knight at the apprentice stage.
The active mental strength was enough to easily withstand the impact of the violent physical body. The kind of "pure" spellcaster who did not have the strength to truss a chicken was the heresy in this world.
As a member of the School of Prophecy, Milan had always looked down on the path of Knight. Coupled with the uniqueness of the school, she would not have maintained the rank of a Knight Trainee.
Obviously, Anthony and Dilis both had the rank of an official Knight (Beginner) in addition to being researchers.
