Nova said, "Then I look forward to the book you bring me."
When it comes to books, Nova is always full of anticipation and excitement.
It was also because of the books that Leo was able to embark on the path of a wizard with Nova's help.
Whenever Leo thinks of this, he feels a sense of gratitude towards Nova.
"By the way," Leo said, "Wizard Nova, when I was reading in the ruins, I found a trace of 'your' spiritual energy in one of the books. Was it one of the books you read near the ruins?"
Nova's eyes turned slightly cold upon hearing this, but he quickly regained his usual refined demeanor: "Yes, I have been to the ruins before. However, I only read some books unrelated to magic. The first-class wizard apprentice in charge refused to let me read magic books, so I could only read books unrelated to magic."
"When I read, I sometimes make marks on the books. You must have just seen the book I marked."
"That's right."
Leo had no doubts. After chatting with Nova for a few minutes, he left the Nova gathering.
Inside the mentor's office, Nova stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the badge on the wall that represented his identity as a wizard apprentice.
"Is Leo doubting me, or is he just asking casually?"
"...It was probably just a casual question. Leo's mental energy fluctuations didn't change much when he asked it."
"However, even if he didn't suspect anything, this matter still poses a risk to me."
"It's time to let someone else deal with the wizard of that ruin."
"At the very least, I can't let Leo know that I've never been to the island where the ruins are located."
In the empty office, Nova was conducting a self-questioning analysis.
Then, Nova looked out the window into the distance.
"Unbeknownst to me, several years have passed since I came here."
"The Witch King's plan is not far from success."
Pumpkin lanterns, emitting a faint glow, floated in mid-air.
Leo and Beckham walked under the glow of the pumpkin lanterns, their shadows stretched long.
At the end of the shadow, there seemed to be a figure with two small horn-like shadows growing out.
"Wizard Leo, this is the third research site I recommended to you."
Beckham said, "You invested a total of three million magic stones in the previous two research projects, and this research project will also require you to invest more than a million magic stones."
Hearing Beckham say this, Leo seemed to be in a good mood, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.
"Wizard Beckham, thanks to your guidance, a worry that has been weighing on my mind for so long has finally been resolved."
The two entered the research room.
The head of the research, a second-class wizarding apprentice, greeted him happily: "Wizard Beckham."
The second-class wizard apprentice looked at Leo and said uncertainly, "Wizard Beckham, is this the investor you mentioned, Wizard Leo?"
"Hmm." Beckm was quite indifferent to this second-class wizard apprentice.
Even when he responded, it was just like a nonchalant exhale from his nose.
"Hello, Wizard Leo, my name is Grylls, and I am in charge of this research."
"Wizard Beckham should have already introduced the situation of our research lab. Receiving your investment is an immense stroke of luck for our precarious research lab."
Leo said, "Wizard Grylls, what exactly is the research you're doing here? Could you tell me about it?"
"Ah... this..."
Grylls looked at Beckham.
Beckham said, "If Wizard Leo wants to hear it, then lay it all out. Regardless of the progress of the research, Wizard Leo has already decided to invest."
Upon hearing this, Kyrian said, "Our research concerns the bio-enhancing of magical artifacts. We intend to transform magical artifacts into a kind of artificial biological entity."
"Of course, this technology involves far too advanced concepts, and I can't guarantee the research will succeed. But no matter how difficult something is to achieve, if you're not even willing to try, you're bound to fail. Wizard Leo, what do you think?"
"Um.
"6
Leo said, "Given that I'm an investor, may I see your experimental data?"
"no problem."
Soon, Grylls brought over a set of data.
Leo glanced at it briefly and then lost interest.
The contents are more like wildly imaginative dreams than serious research.
Leo's encyclopedia entry wasn't even triggered.
Leo lost interest, turned around, and said, "Wizard Beckham, let's go to the next research lab."
After the two had walked several hundred meters away from the research lab, Beckham said, "Wizard Leo, you must be very disappointed after seeing the experimental data just now. You must think that this thing is simply not worth realizing."
"However, this is quite normal in wizarding research."
"Among wizards, quite a few seem to talk about dreams rather than doing research."
"They will tell you how low the success rate of this research is, and that I am doing it all out of dreams, in order to entice other wizards to invest in magic stones. Even some of the official wizards of the Tower of Dawn are willing to invest magic stones in these researches."
"While some of them are genuinely substantial, most are just shoddy work. Most of these subpar studies wouldn't even make it into the official wizarding publications."
"Wizard Leo, if you weren't here to lose magic stones, I certainly wouldn't have let you invest in this kind of research."
"This kind of research is like a bottomless pit. The chance of success is very, very low, but the research time is often several years, even more than ten years. They don't even expect the experiment to succeed; they just want to use these funded magic stones to make a living and get by day by day."
"After all, proposing an idea is much simpler than making it happen."
"They only need to come up with an attractive and fantastical idea, and they don't care about the losses of the wizards who invest the magic stones."
"Even if you want to investigate further, they will use the excuse that this kind of research has a very low success rate from the beginning."
"They'll talk to you about dreams and stuff."
"Therefore, Wizard Leo, if you intend to pursue serious research in the future, it is best to choose the research of a first-class wizard apprentice. Compared to third-class and second-class wizard apprentices, first-class wizard apprentices tend to focus more on practicality in their research."
Leo nodded slightly.
After that, Beckham took Leo to find several research projects that he had found for Leo that could be used to generate losses.
Finally, Leo discovered that all of these loss-making studies were, without exception, bottomless pits of dreams, and none of them triggered the encyclopedia's inclusion function.
