Angor looked at Mara with great confidence. He believed that as long as the wizard could help, his teacher would be saved!
Leon looked at Angor with a loving gaze. He was complaining that his brother wasted such a great favor on Jon. But when he thought about Jon's contributions to the Padt Family over the years, the regret in his heart disappeared. It was not a big deal to waste the favor. As long as his brother was happy, it was worth it.
The two brothers had different thoughts, but both of them were convinced that Jon's chronic illness could be cured by Mara.
However, the truth always went against their expectations.
When the green aura disappeared from Jon's body, Angor wanted to ask Mara about it, but Leon stopped him. This was because Mo Luo had once again levitated the crystal ball. His expression had changed from the relaxed and contented look to the serious and doubtful one.
Could it be that even the wizard could not cure Jon? Was Jon's illness really caused by Gaia's consciousness rejecting the otherworlders?
No, it couldn't be.
Angor's great hope was quickly extinguished.
A moment later, Mara stopped casting.
He was still puzzled because he did not find anything wrong with Jon's body. The feedback from the spell also showed that everything was normal.
The result was normal? That was the biggest abnormality.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the emaciated Chown was beyond cure. Besides, Jon was less than 50 years old. His old age was definitely abnormal.
But Mara could not find anything wrong with him!
Was he cursed by an evil spirit? With this question in mind, Mara reached out his spirit feelers and checked Jon's body. As long as there was something wrong, his spirit feelers could easily find traces of it.
… Nothing. Still nothing.
Mara really did not know what to do now. He had just become an advanced apprentice, and he did not even learn level-3 cantrips yet. He had used all the tricks he knew to detect diseases, but none of them worked on Jon.
There was nothing he could do.
Mara looked at Angor's anxious face and felt a little embarrassed. He was just bragging, and now he was being slapped in the face by reality.
Mara pretended to clear his throat and put on an apologetic look. "I can't heal your professor for now."
"I just checked his body. There's nothing wrong with it. Since there is no problem with the test, the treatment of the body naturally cannot be carried out. " Mara changed the topic. "However, he does look like he's seriously ill. Perhaps there's something wrong with his mind or soul."
According to his professor, his body was fine. The reason for his organ failure was Gaia's consciousness.
Hearing Mara's words, although he did not mention Gaia's consciousness, Mara did say that his teacher's body was fine. Then, something must have happened to his mind and soul?
Was Gaia's consciousness corroding the soul of a teacher?
Mara didn't know that Angor also came up with a plausible answer. Whether it was correct or not, Angor believed it to be true.
"Then … Is there no way to cure the soul or spirit problem?" Angor asked anxiously.
"There must be a way. However, there's nothing I can do right now. "Mara sighed helplessly." If I become an official Magus, I might be able to treat it. But as an apprentice, there's nothing I can do. "
"A wizard can heal my professor?" Angor asked.
"I don't dare to guess the power of a great wizard, but saving a mortal should not be a problem. Even if the person dies, a great wizard can still save the soul from the Land of Eternal Darkness. "
Angor asked, "Then … when can you become a wizard, mister?"
Mara hesitated and shook his head with a bitter smile. "It took me nearly 60 years to become a level-3 apprentice. As for becoming a wizard? There's no hope for me in this lifetime. That level is not something you can achieve with time alone. "
Mara explained to Angor about the level of a wizard. Talent determined the speed of becoming a wizard. After becoming a wizard, talent would not be as useful. However, talent was the most important factor before becoming a wizard. Some people became wizards after a few years of training, while others could not even become a beginner apprentice after a lifetime of training. This was the difference between talent and destiny.
Mara believed that he had reached the limit of his talent. If he wanted to become a wizard, he could only rely on destiny. However, destiny was not something you could get just because you wanted it. Besides, most of the time, ninety-nine percent of the danger was worth one percent of the fortune.
Destiny was obtained by risking one's life. There were very few opportunities that could be obtained easily, unless one was extremely lucky. That was what happened to Mara this time.
Mara's words made Angor fall into utter despair. Wizards … were almost extinct on the Old Earth. Where could he find one?
For a moment, everyone fell silent. Leon patted Angor's shoulder and wanted to comfort him, but he did not know what to say.
After an unknown period of time, Mo Luo spoke once more, "I remember you said earlier that you have two worries. I can't help you with the first one. Why don't you tell me about the other one? "
The other one … Angor's mind flashed by. He remembered Mara saying that he could save his teacher as long as he became a wizard. As long as he was talented, he could become a wizard in a short time.
Talented? If he could become a wizard, did that mean he could save his teacher on his own?
Angor remembered the other small worry Mara mentioned before. It was also his curiosity about supernatural beings. And his desire to follow the footsteps of supernatural beings.
He wanted to become one too!
"Mister Mara, can I become your apprentice and learn about wizardry?" Angor asked in a serious tone.
Mara was surprised. After a while, he laughed out loud.
"Wizard? It's not as simple as you think. In order to become a Magus, one had to have talent. When it comes to talent, I've gone around the entire empire and tested nearly ten thousand people. Only my two grandsons have talent. You can see how rare it is. "
Angor was not scared off by Mara's words. Instead, he insisted, "Then can you take a look and see if I have talent?"
Mara looked at Angor up and down and nodded. "It's easy to test a wizard's talent. If you want, you can even ask everyone in Padt Manor to do the test. Consider it as me returning the favor. "
Mara's words sounded generous, but it also implied that he wanted to help the Padt Family train more wizards. But in fact, talents were rare. It was already extremely difficult to find one, let alone cultivate a wizard in the family.
Besides, he did not need to use anything to test talent. All he needed was a medium. The medium could be used repeatedly, and he would not lose anything.
This time, he had accepted a mission to recruit talents on behalf of the academy. Of course, the academy would give him the medium. What he said was basically an empty promise. He did not need to pay anything to earn back the favor.
