"Alright, let's put this matter to rest."
Gramo, who was dressed in a black robe, looked at Adil and nodded lightly, "Have you brought the materials for this transaction?"
Adil nodded, opened a package he had brought with him, and placed it on the table.
As the package was opened, some of the materials were revealed. Some were the carapace of Insect Beasts, while others were other parts. However, all of them were materials from the apocalyptic world.
Gramo's eyes lit up as he looked at the materials in front of him.
He stretched out his hand and casually picked up a small piece of carapace from the pile of materials in front of him. He then placed it on the experiment table at the side, as if he was testing something.
"Not bad. Although it is not the same creature, it has many of the characteristics of the previous material. They should have come from the same place."
Gramo's expression was solemn as he turned to look at Adil, "I am very satisfied with this batch of materials. According to the price we agreed on, how about a total of 50 magic crystals?"
Hearing this price, Adil was taken aback.
This price had clearly exceeded his previous expectations.
According to the information he had gathered, the entire academy did not place much importance on these unknown materials. Unless it was confirmed to have a special use, the price would not be high.
50 magic crystals. This price was definitely a high price for this batch of materials.
"50 magic crystals. Take the extra portion as my personal compensation to you."
Seeing Adil's expression, Gramo seemed to understand what he was thinking and explained, "I can see that you seem to be lacking magic crystals."
Hearing this, Adil's mouth twitched, but he did not refute.
Compared to Gramo, he was indeed lacking magic crystals. Since he could get more, he would not say anything.
"Also … Although I have returned to normal, my previous suggestion still stands."
At this moment, Gramo suddenly spoke, "If you lack magic crystals, I can provide all the resources you need before you advance to an official Magus. The price is just to assist me in some small experiments.
"If you are worried, we can sign an agreement under the supervision of the academy to guarantee your rights."
After saying this, he turned around and looked at Adil in Silence, as if waiting for his decision.
Sensing his gaze, Adil lowered his head and seemed to be lost in thought.
However, in the end, he still shook his head and rejected the other party's suggestion, "I'm sorry, I don't have such thoughts for the time being …"
The other party's words sounded very tempting. However, after experiencing the previous scene, Adil had long since put him on the dangerous list.
From Adil's point of view, the academy's supervision was not reliable. The other party was an official Magus, and even if they did violate the agreement and accidentally killed Adil, he would at most receive some punishment and pay a small price. There was no way the academy would force a true Magus over a level 1 acolyte. In the end, the matter would only end in silence.
In front of him, after hearing Adil's words, a hint of regret appeared in Gramo's eyes. "Alright … However, my promise is still valid. If you change your mind in the future, you can come and look for me anytime."
"I understand." Adil nodded lightly.
"These are the magic crystals for this transaction."
Gramophone regained his composure and placed a small pouch on the table.
Quietly picking up the small pouch on the wooden table, Adil respectfully bade farewell to Grammo who was in front of him. He looked as if he had already forgotten about the previous incident and did not seem to mind it at all.
Holding the pouch in his hand, the unique feeling in his hand made Adil's heart calm down. He then turned around and walked towards the laboratory's door, looking as if he was about to leave.
Behind him, as he watched Adil leave, Gramophone's expression gradually became gloomy, no longer as calm as before.
His eyes were fixed on Adil's back. As Adil gradually left, his right hand was slowly raised, and on it, a faint shadow gradually enveloped it.
* Bang! *
With a light sound, the laboratory's door was gently closed.
Walking outside, Adil heaved a sigh of relief. He put down his arm that was about to touch his sword, looking much more relaxed.
Unknowingly, his back was already drenched in sweat. Facing the outside breeze, he felt a chill run down his spine, making his heart feel cold.
"That suffocating and terrifying feeling … He definitely wants to attack me."
Recalling the scene just now, Adil felt a chill in his heart.
The moment he turned to leave, he acutely sensed an intense malice behind him, locking him in place.
At this thought, he pulled out the A.I. Chip's record.
[Increase in high-energy radiation around the Host …]
Looking at this record, cold sweat immediately appeared on Adil's face.
It was obvious that the other party was not willing to let Adil leave just like that. Hence, after failing to tempt him with benefits, he immediately prepared to use force. He almost even used magic.
Fortunately, he was in the academy, and the other party should have some reservations. In the end, he did not choose to attack Adil.
"Other than the academy's rules, it should also be because of Mentor Edith."
Recalling the process, Adil thought to himself.
Even if they were both acolytes, ordinary acolytes and acolytes with mentors would receive different treatment. If an ordinary acolyte attacked an official Magus, it would at most be a little troublesome. However, if he attacked Adil, it would be a different story. It could be seen as a provocation to an official Magus, and the consequences would be much more severe than if he attacked an ordinary acolyte.
"I can't come back here anymore. If I want to come into contact with these official Magi, I need to investigate them beforehand. Otherwise, it will be too dangerous."
Recalling the scene just now, Adil turned around and looked behind him. Then, he quickly left.
He quickly walked a distance and returned to the dormitory area, where he opened the cloth bag that he had obtained from Gramore.
After opening the cloth bag, there were 5 magic crystals inside. Compared to ordinary magic crystals, the colour of these 5 magic crystals was much deeper, and the energy aura on them was much stronger.
These were mid-grade magic crystals. Compared to ordinary magic crystals, they had a higher concentration of high-energy particles, and the effects were much better.
