The young low-level female mage, Mary, walked on the stairs leading to the magic laboratory with heavy steps. The magic crystal lamps embedded on both sides of the corridor emitted a constant and bright light, but this light could not dispel the anxiety in her heart at all.

During this period, the apprentices in the tower were suffering the same uneasiness - the mental problems of the old magician seemed to be deteriorating in a new direction. The eccentric and gloomy old man seemed to be stimulated by the last "connection". He first asked the apprentices to demolish the spiritual protective arrays in the tower day and night, and then without hesitation, he demolished one of the three magic laboratories, and set up a large number of incomprehensible experimental devices inside. He locked himself in the new laboratory all day and day, studying things that the apprentices couldn't understand and dared to inquire. He began to mutter to himself more frequently, mutter, and sometimes he would suddenly laugh in the laboratory...

He seemed to be completely crazy.

The only thing the apprentices feel grateful now is that the old mage's new madness seems to have no time to punish others. No apprentice has been beaten and scolded for so many days. The old mage seems to have been completely immersed in his confused spiritual world, and even forgot that he has a group of apprentices.

So Mary felt that she was probably the most unfortunate among all the apprentices - because the old wizard Daniel actually remembered herself in a madness, and sent a slave to notify her to go to the new laboratory to find him...

Is it a new crazy experiment? Or is it a punishment that comes inexplicably? Or is it just a casual greeting from the old mage in a state of confusion?

At the end of the stairs, a corridor with a slightly dim light appeared in front of me. At the end of the corridor was the Magic Laboratory. A servant in a black robe walked over from the corridor, bent down slightly in front of Mary, and said in a stiff and low voice: "Master is waiting for you."

"I get it." Mary nodded and walked forward over the slave.

The slaves in the wizard tower were all slaves purchased by the old wizard. Except for the old butler who was unknown at the age of no one, who always had sinister tests, all the slaves had undergone neuronal modification surgery and spell brainwashing. These rigid and emotionally lacking "living dead" cares about the lives of the old wizard and all apprentices, and when necessary, they also act as experimental materials for the old wizard.

Mary had feared them and had sympathized with them, but now she was numb to the slaves of the living dead, no different from looking at the witch.

Anyway, everyone in this tower is similar.

She walked through the corridor, pushed open the door of the new laboratory, and saw that the old wizard was already waiting for him inside - his back to the door, as if staring at something on the laboratory bench.

Mary took a breath and walked into the lab: "Teacher, are you looking for me?"

The artificial nerve cords behind the old mage twitched for a moment, then he turned around and stared at the female apprentice with his brown eyes: "Mary, you're here just right, come here - close the door."

Mary walked over with trepidation and looked at the newly renovated laboratory.

The shelves that hold animal samples and potions were moved to other places, and the original stone alchemy tables were not known whereabouts. Instead, they were replaced by a large test bench in the center of the room, as well as several long tables and magic material storage cabinets on both sides of the room. The new laboratory looks completely different from the gloomy and terrifying place before, and it looks more like a relatively normal magic lab.

The young female apprentice came to the laboratory bench and was about to ask her tutor what she had to do, but she saw many drawings and many draft papers full of calculation formulas spread out on the laboratory bench.

"You, you are the best mathematical and physics among all my apprentices. I chose you - come and complete the tasks assigned by my master with me!" The old mage glanced at Mary and said in an unquestionable tone, "You take these first and get these questions done!"

Do the questions?

Mary was confused, but she did not dare to violate the orders of the instructor and took the papers and began to read the things on it carefully.

She understood a little difficult. Although those mathematical problems on paper can be solved by mathematical abilities, the use of words and sentences is very different from the magic concepts she encountered in the past. However, no matter what, she still gritted her teeth and looked at it.

Then, she began to try to solve the problem of calculating the rune domain range with her own understanding.

Halfway through the problem solving, a thin finger suddenly reached out from the side. Mary was shocked and then heard the words of the instructor coming from the side: "Idiot! Where is your square symbol?!"

Mary was frightened in a cold sweat on her forehead, but the expected electric shock or whip did not come. The instructor just said coldly: "What are you still standing there? Change it! Do you want to get the question wrong?!"

Mary hurriedly corrected the mistake she wrote and continued to do it.

But what she did was still very difficult - she understood mathematics and physics, but the definitions and formulas were too fresh and abstract for her.

Understanding the question adds extra difficulty to her, so that things she could do will make mistakes. Soon she heard the instructor yelling in her ear: "Do you have no brains?! The theoretical value is 277! The actual interference value has exceeded it! Are you still continuing to do it?!"

"Have you seen a magic circle rune knot that is not paired? Are you planning to bring it into your mind that extra starting rune?"

"Quarz sand is negative, it is negative! Do you think it is mitril silver and pure gold? Let you design a magic circle, and you will sooner or later blow yourself to death!"

The instructor's reprimand and roar sounded almost every once in a while, and Mary couldn't help but tremble, but slowly, she discovered something - the instructor was actually teaching herself something.

This is the first time he has taught the apprentice’s actual content again since the instructor was completely addicted to the “connection” ceremony a few years ago!

When I was stunned, the instructor's voice rang again: "Why are you still standing there? You still have two big questions to write! You are not allowed to eat until you finish the paper!"

Mary quickly lowered her head and read the last two questions carefully, but a strange feeling emerged from her heart: Could it be that... the tutor was not completely crazy recently, but had really made a huge breakthrough in magic research, so he was completely immersed in the research?

She knew that the original reason why the old magician had problems with his spirit was that he encountered some desperate and huge problems in the process of magic research. It only made this originally powerful, wise and promising genius mage who had become gloomy and eccentric, cold and distorted - the strange and terrifying "connection" ceremony only amplified his mental problems.

More than ten minutes later, Mary pushed the manuscript paper to Daniel: "Teacher, I'm done..."

The old magician glanced at her: "Have you checked?"

"I... checked."

"let me see."

The old magician snatched the paper from Mary's hand and looked it carefully from beginning to end.

At that moment, I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Mary seemed to see a hint of smile from the always gloomy face of the mentor.

"Well...sloppy," the old magician's expression changed fleetingly. The next second he had already raised his face again, "It's far worse than when I did it, and it took twice as much time."

But Mary heard something else from this sentence: Didn’t these questions be answered by the tutor himself? Did he do them when he was asking questions?

Obviously, the old mage would not explain her words, and Mary did not have the courage to ask for such details. She just lowered her head and listened to the old mage continued: "Although you have used it for a long time, it is almost passed. You can take these materials back, read them carefully, learn them all, and then teach them the group of waste and idiots hiding at the bottom of the tower - tell them that in three days I will test them. If you can't learn, just wait for me to be a living dead."

Mary shrank her neck and finally couldn't help asking: "Teacher, what are these things... used for?"

"These are great knowledge!" The old mage opened his hands and said excitedly. Obviously he was in a good mood at the moment and was patient to explain to his apprentice, "It is the knowledge given by my great master! You must study hard. When you learn it, I will teach you how to form a magic net and simplify the magic circle - this is your great honor, being able to serve your master is your great honor!"

Mary nodded in a hurry, and she began to doubt her optimistic estimate just now - her mentor, probably still was crazy.

After he came into contact with a terrifying existence and made a deal with it, he was really crazy.

At this time, the old mage suddenly frowned, and then waved his hand impatiently: "Go out, that's all you can teach you today. My master is summoning me, and I must respond immediately."

Mary knew that the "master" mentioned by the old mage was a terrifying mythical creature or a similar mysterious existence, so she didn't dare to stay for a moment and nodded and retreated quickly.

Before leaving the laboratory, she heard the old mage shouting from a distance: "You perform well and you can eat meat at night!"

Mary bowed: "Thank you, mentor."

After the young female apprentice left, the old mage murmured some vague words in a low voice, then stood in panic on a magic circle in the corner of the laboratory. After activating the surrounding early warning and protection runes, his spirit was quickly emptied, and the nerve cable began to help him establish a connection with the surrounding runes.

The next second, he saw the environment around him turn upside down, and the space with a lofty blue sky, endless water surface, and a large number of metal platforms appeared in front of him again.

Sure enough, as long as he is connected to the spiritual network, he will inevitably be taken to this place - the control of extraterritorial wanderers is absolute, and there is no loophole at all.

The old mage had already given up on resistance. He respectfully bent down to the blonde figure in front of him: "Master, what are your instructions?"

"Do some test papers first," Gao Wen casually created two sets of questions, "Let me see how you mastered it."

The old master: "...Affect your orders."

After a moment, Gao Wen's scolding began to sound:

"What about your mind? Have you forgotten the basic definition of address mapping?!"

"Who told you that open ports cannot be disguised!"

"I don't understand what the only effective encoding means? It must always match the mental frequency! Let you design the IP index, and sooner or later you burn your brain!"

...

"Finally... have you checked it?!"
