Chapter 78: Original Owner |
Ender's words caused the expressions of the Apprentices in front of the table to become somewhat heavy.
One of the Apprentices said indignantly, "Ender is right. The Tower really shouldn't have done it this time. Heath has done so much for the Tower, but he didn't even give us the status of an official Apprentice."
"Yeah, even if it's a test, there should be a limit. It's really disappointing."
"Even after doing so much, we still can't get the status of an official Apprentice. How can we Apprentices have the confidence to continue working hard..."
Jenny asked Heath, "Apprentice Heath, you... don't mind at all?"
He had been eating the whole time and seemed to have a good appetite...
Heath did not seem to expect Jenny to suddenly ask him a question. He quickly put down the half-eaten roasted quail in his hand and said, "It's alright."
It would be impossible for him to say that he did not have any regrets. After all, becoming a privileged class meant that he would be able to enjoy a good life. He would have countless Magic Stones. It would be much easier than now.
However, he was not particularly disappointed. After all, his original intention of participating in the battle was purely to farm his attributes. And the final benefits... Were far beyond his expectations.
As for the identity of an official Apprentice... The recruitment order did not mention that he was going to become an official Apprentice, nor did they give him a definite promise. Of course, he could not be full of resentment because of this, right?
If it should be his, Heath could fight for it without holding back. If it was not his, he would not force it.
Jessica interrupted, "Hey, what are you bastards talking about? Don't spread negative energy all day long, okay? Each and every one of you, do you all have full marks in pestilence?"
"Besides, how do you know Heath won't get the identity of an official Apprentice? Maybe the Wizard is already considering him!"
Ender flipped the silver. "Come on, it's been months since the war ended. How can there be no news about the identity?"
Jessica retorted, "Yeah, then you should know that Wizard Slater went to the meditation room after the war. He just came out two days ago. Before that, he might not even know the existence of Heath!"
This time, Ender was stopped.
After holding it in for a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "In any case, an ordinary unofficial Apprentice without a bloodline background will not be able to become an official Apprentice."
Jessica said disdainfully, "Just be jealous."
The topic came to an end.
Then, everyone chatted about some random things. They exchanged experiences in learning spells, told each other about the bitter experience of earning Magic Stones from missions, and gossiped about the Apprentices... For example, the girl with big breasts and the boy with strong abilities...
"Tsk tsk, you guys don't know. That girl looks gentle, but when she plays, she's ridiculously wild. She's like a female cat in heat..."
Everyone was listening to Ender talking about the sex between him and a new Apprentice when suddenly, there was a commotion in the cafeteria.
Clang!
First, there was the sound of plates falling to the ground.
"Do you have eyes?" Then, there was a sharp female voice, sounding very angry.
Two female Apprentices wearing medium-sized Apprentice cloaks were surrounding a female Apprentice. There were plates, half a frog, mashed potatoes, and other food scattered on the ground.
It seemed that there was a collision between the two sides. One of the female Apprentices held her head. At this time, her companion was reprimanding the female Apprentice who bumped into her.
The female Apprentice quickly said, "I'm... sorry."
The female Apprentice wanted to say something, but the female Apprentice quickly pulled her back and said, "Forget it, I'm fine."
Then, she quickly left with her companion.
The female Apprentice bent her knees and squatted down to pick up the food that was stained with dust. Then, she walked to the dining area with the plate.
There was only one empty seat on the side, but for some reason, when they saw the female Apprentice wanting to come over, the few Apprentices who were sitting there hurriedly picked up the food and walked out as if they were avoiding the plague.
Seeing that, the female Apprentice stopped and did not continue forward. Instead, she carried the plate and quickly left the dining hall.
Jenny smacked her lips and said, "Tsk tsk, this Crazy Witch is really miserable. I heard that when she just entered the tower, she almost became an official Apprentice. How did she end up like this?"
Ender said sarcastically, "It's all her fault. She's a loner and doesn't fit in with others. It's only right for people to hate her!"
Jenny shook her head. "I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
Ender said, "You have to ask Jessica. Jessica, aren't you very close to her?"
Jessica said, "I've just done two missions with her, okay? If you really want to know, look, her boyfriend is still sitting here."
She pouted her lips in Heath's direction.
The female Apprentice just now was none other than Heath's bedmate, Shirley.
Everyone's interest was immediately piqued.
"Hey, Brother Heath, is it true that someone saw her entering your room at night?"
"It's rumored that she's still a virgin. Is that true?"
Heath said impatiently, "If you want to know, you can ask her yourself."
"Tsk!"
Everyone rolled their eyes.
Ender sneered and suddenly said, "Speaking of which, do you know? The Crazy Witch has really made big news recently."
"What?"
Ender joked, "That idiot. The Holy Spirit Flower that has been planted for three years has been plucked by a few humans."
Heath, who was eating, was stunned.
He raised his eyebrows. "What did you say just now?"
Ender said, "The Holy Spirit Flower. That chick seemed to have found a Holy Spirit Flower a few years ago. It was probably for cultivation. She spent all her money looking for materials to cultivate it. A few days ago, it finally matured, but in the end, it was picked by a few mortals who came to pick flowers. Hahaha, don't you think it's funny?"
The Holy Spirit Flower had to be kept in a place with plenty of sunlight. It could not grow in the Underdark Treesea...
The crowd laughed.
"How could there be such a stupid fellow?"
"What happened after that?"
"Who knows? It seems like she went to look for it, but I guess she didn't find it."
"That's really tragic..."
Listening to everyone's discussion, Heath was inexplicably a little upset.
He could not help but think about it.
"That Holy Spirit Flower... is mine!"
Heath was speechless.
This kind of person...
Couldn't she talk properly?
...
Shadow Tower, Shirley's cabin.
Knock, knock, knock!
A clear knock sounded on the door.
Sherry, who was meditating, opened her eyes.
She asked doubtfully, "Who is it?"
However, she did not hear any response from outside.
She stood up doubtfully and walked out, opening the door.
Outside the door, it was empty, not a single person could be seen.
Shirley frowned.
Just when she thought it was a prank by some bored Apprentice, she suddenly saw something on the stone steps at the door.
Looking at it, Shirley was stunned.
On the stone steps.
The small white flower was emitting a gentle white light under the sunlight...
