Chapter 1833 Teachers and Listeners
After saying this, Angel began to wait for Rhine to say the second thing.
However, Rhine did not speak immediately, but slowly stretched out his hand, and the illusion of two cards appeared in front of Angel.
The cards were square, one white and one gold.
Nothing else could be seen from the illusion, just two cards full of blank space.
However, Angel understood what Rhine meant.
He hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is this... a flying note?"
Rhine nodded, "Yes, the instructor's flying note."
Angel was silent for a moment: "Mr. Rhine means that I want to accept a disciple?"
Rhine carefully observed Angel's expression: "You don't seem to be willing to accept a disciple?"
Angel nodded.
Rhine did not ask Angel why he did not want to accept a disciple, but said: "It is your own choice whether to accept a disciple or not, but I suggest you try it."
The scene of the memory ended, and Angel looked at the tree spirit sitting opposite the carriage.
The question that Rhine did not ask before, the tree spirit asked at this time.
Tree Spirit: "Speaking of which, accepting a disciple will be of great benefit to you. It can not only get the organization's resources, but also give you a future helper. Why don't you want to accept a disciple?"
Faced with the tree spirit's question, Angel thought for a moment and said: "I am not ready to be responsible for the future of others."
After Angel finished speaking, the air fell into silence.
Angel looked up and saw the tree spirit looking at him with a strange look.
"What's wrong? Is my answer strange?"
Tree Spirit: "It's not strange, it's very strange. Don't you think that the so-called accepting a disciple is like what Sanders did to you?"
Angel: "Isn't it?"
In Angel's impression, the mentors he met, whether it was the enlightenment mentor Jon or the mentor Sanders who led him to the extraordinary path, were all like this.
"Of course not." The tree spirit rubbed his temple: "I understand now, no wonder you directly rejected Rhine's proposal before."
"You should know that there are two kinds of flying cards for accepting disciples, golden flying cards and ordinary white flying cards." Facing Angel's confusion, the tree spirit explained.
When a gifted person receives a golden flying card, it means "I value you very much". And receiving a white flying card means "You can learn from me".
These two flying cards represent two attitudes of the mentor. The person with the golden flying card is definitely more valued. And the person with the white flying card is just an ordinary teacher-student relationship.
"In fact, even if a gifted person gets a golden flying card, the relationship between this gifted person and the mentor is not necessarily like Sanders to you." In the eyes of the tree spirit, Sanders is more like an apprentice to Angel, which is a closer relationship than relatives.
The teacher-student relationship of the general public is limited to "teaching and learning".
"I heard that you taught alchemy for a period of time at Ashley Comprehensive College?" The tree spirit suddenly changed the subject when he was explaining halfway and asked Angel.
Angel nodded: "Yes."
"During the time when you were teaching, what do you think was the relationship between you and your students?"
Angel considered: "Teacher and listener?"
"In other words, it is an ordinary teacher-student relationship." Shu Ling paused: "Rhine suggested that you take in apprentices, which is actually what he meant. These talented people you took in are equivalent to you teaching them and they listening and learning."
"You don't need to be responsible for their future. You only need to teach them extraordinary knowledge in class and don't need to care about them after class. Once they achieve something, it will not only add to your reputation, but also be of benefit to you."
Angel frowned. "It sounds like a wide-ranging, free-range approach?"
"It's almost the same." Seeing Angel's frown, the tree spirit said, "This is actually a common phenomenon in the wizard world. Don't think that wizards are irresponsible just because they don't care about their apprentices. You have to know that wizards pay with their experiences and knowledge along the way. These are precious and priceless, so even if they let their apprentices go, the apprentices will not suffer."
"Even if you send a golden invitation to a gifted person, you don't have to be responsible for their future. Because you are the one who holds the knowledge, and you have absolute dominance over the sharing of knowledge."
The tree spirit's words had a certain impact on Angel's thoughts.
It's not that he hasn't seen similar situations before, for example, Flora treated Baruba more indifferently than a stranger. For example, Angel has never even heard his good friends, Salum and Nausicaa, talk about their mentors.
Angel saw and understood it, but because it had nothing to do with him, he subconsciously ignored it.
His thoughts were still stuck on the Eastern-style master-disciple concept taught by Jon, and therefore, in his concept, accepting a disciple was a very serious matter.
However, he ignored the differences between civilizations, as well as the uniqueness of individual cases and general cases.
"You don't have to be responsible for others, whether it's their future or their goals. You only have to be responsible for your own life." The tree spirit paused: "So, after throwing off these shackles, you can really give it a try."
The reason why the tree spirit persuaded him so much was that he thought that Angel's act of accepting an apprentice would also increase his connection with the Savage Cave. Moreover, Angel himself possessed very powerful alchemy. Although they could already send people to the Ashlie Academy to study, if someone could get Angel's guidance, it would definitely be more useful than the Ashlie Academy.
Angel pondered for a moment: "I will seriously consider it."
Angel was indeed slightly persuaded by the tree spirit, but he was not ready to look for the so-called apprentice immediately. The most important thing was that he did not have the spare time.
After all, if he really wanted to accept an apprentice, even if he was not responsible for the other party's future, Angel would at least need to take out the time for class teaching. He now wanted to make up for his missing knowledge. When he starts to review the old and learn the new, it will not be too late to teach.
After talking about this, the tree spirit talked to Angel about some recent events in the Savage Cave.
Because Angel was not often in the Savage Cave, he also listened to the tree spirit's story very seriously.
However, what the tree spirit said at the beginning was still normal. After that, it basically became his complaints.
For example, the tree spirit currently complains the most about Lianna.
The reason is that Lianna is going to hold a tea party, and many witches will come. She wants to hold the venue on the Eternal Tree. In order to arrange the venue and decorate the elements, Lianna often comes to the tree spirit.
Lianna often makes very harsh suggestions, such as asking the tree spirit to open up a tea party space inside the trunk of the Eternal Tree, and using the breath of the Life Pool as an embellishment, and collecting the core tree fragrance of the Eternal Tree...
"I'm tired of this tea party now, it's better not to hold it." The tree spirit sighed.
Angel: "If it really doesn't happen, I believe that the whole Savage Cave, men, women, young and old will probably complain."
Although men are prohibited from participating in the tea party, so many witches have come, and the men are still very happy. And the witches are also happy, after all, being able to communicate with others is a good thing in itself.
Moreover, the tea party is a big event comparable to the stargazing day. A lot of information, intelligence, technology and secrets can be obtained through it. The top leaders attach great importance to it.
If the tree spirit really gives up, it will definitely arouse public anger.
"Even if it is to be held, I hope to choose another place... preferably not in the mirror world." The tree spirit said distressedly.
