Chapter 515 Daniel's Past

That is one of the most powerful spellcasters in the Typhon Empire, the supreme ruler of the Royal Society of Mages, the chief magic advisor of His Majesty the Emperor, and Lady Windsor Maple, who is a duke.

She was much more ordinary than Mary had imagined.

Mary glanced cautiously at the big man standing at the desk with almost awe. She had thought that the legendary powerful mage would be a more distinctive lady - perhaps wearing a starry robe, full of The majestic old lady may also have used magic to change her body age. She is a stunning beauty, but she is not. Windsor?? Maple seems to be just an ordinary middle-aged woman, 30 years old. When she was forty years old, although there was still a moving beauty between her brows and eyes, the traces of the years had already appeared on her face. She was wearing an ordinary purple robe, and her long lavender hair was casually tied around her head. After that, she just stood there quietly, without even showing any imposing manner.

Then Mary saw that her mentor was moving, and the old mage walked up to Windsor Maple unhurriedly, looking up and down with a disrespectful, even disrespectful look. Under the astonished gaze of the young apprentice, the old mage nodded: "You have finally reached this position."

"You are still my mentor," Windsor?? Maple with a complicated look, she bent down to the old mage under Mary's stunned, even terrified gaze, "forever."

The old master waved his hand: "But you are not my apprentice anymore."

Mary suddenly took a deep breath—for a short while just now, she even forgot to breathe in shock, and the sound of her breathing caught Daniel's attention, and the old mage beckoned to her: "Come here, Say hello to Windsor Maple, president of the Royal Society of Mages."

Mary stepped forward dazedly, and before she could speak, the formidable lady glanced at her—as if the lady had not noticed such a stranger in the room until now:" who is she?"

"My apprentice," Daniel smiled, "is less talented than you, but smarter than you."

It was the first time in her life that Mary had heard compliments from Daniel—though not specifically to her.

"Your... apprentice?" said Windsor Maple in disbelief, but she quickly returned to normal and nodded to Mary, "Hello, I'm Windsor Maple, mentor Daniel's. The first apprentice. Since you are also the mentor's apprentice, you don't need to care about my status as the president."

"My...my name is Mary," Mary said with sincerity, "I am... honored to meet you."

Windsor??Maple frowned,

Asked subconsciously, "No surname? Ah, I don't mean to offend."

"I found her in the country, where's her surname," Daniel said casually, and gave Mary a slightly dissatisfied look, and waved his hand impatiently, "Not growing up—go and stand by, don't interrupt."

Mary immediately backed away obediently, and despite her stomach problems, she closed her mouth tightly and dared not say a word.

And Windsor?? Maple took a deep look at Mary, who was not an excellent mage in all aspects, and whose magical response was weak in her body, and then turned to Daniel solemnly: "Teacher, these years I have I've been looking for you..."

"As the president of the Royal Society of Mages, if you really wanted to look for it, you would have found it long ago," Daniel let out a hoarse low laugh, "and what are you looking for me for? Let me continue to accept those mentally retarded mockery? Or invite people from the association to come Visit a famous freak?"

Windsor?? Maple's face changed slightly, and she immediately shook her head: "Teacher, you know what I mean, no one underestimates your achievements in the field of magic, it's just your neural interaction magic..."

The president of the association suddenly stopped halfway through his words.

Her eyes widened, staring intently at something in sight—behind Daniel's black robe, restless artificial nerve cords wriggled, a few slender, faintly shimmering, like flesh and metal The twisted things mixed with each other extended from the hem of the robe and slowly swayed in the sight of Windsor Maple, like a blind digger, with a blasphemous aura.

The powerful spellcaster exclaimed in a low voice: "You...are you...are you successful?!"

"I failed, but I also succeeded, and those idiots who follow the rules probably won't admit my success, but I don't care - the neural interaction magic theory makes sense after all, I can break through the limitations of my talent and do what I used to do. what happened," Daniel said in a low voice, "Windsor? Mapel, we're not here to talk about that today."

"...Yes, we're not talking about this," Windsor Mapel was silent for a moment, then sighed slightly, "Teacher, I couldn't believe it when I received your letter, but you actually came— —Are you really willing to return to the Mages Association and serve Typhon again?”

Daniel snorted: "Hmph, I'll work for Typhon, but I'm no longer interested in this association. As far as I know, our emperor, His Majesty, did not require that the mages who responded to the recruitment must join the association, right? "

"...Indeed," Windsor?? Maple frowned, then adjusted his state and looked at Daniel solemnly, "You are unparalleled in the fields of mathematics and ancient Gondor magic, even if Without my introduction, His Majesty the Emperor has also heard of your reputation, and he must be very happy that a wise man like you will be willing to serve the Empire again. I will immediately order that your laboratory and mage tower be re-ready - these The association has kept them over the years."

"No, I'm not used to working in a place with too many people - people in the Royal Mage District probably don't want to live on the same block with a modified freak," Daniel sneered, shaking his head, " I have already found a place to stay, and I plan to rebuild a laboratory myself, you know my habit, I only trust the experimental environment I created, and I don’t want anyone to interfere and disturb.”

Windsor?? Maple looked at Daniel's eyes, although the latter was much older than she remembered, and even the older ones were a little abnormal, and his temper and personality seemed to have changed a lot, but the persistence in those eyes As stubborn as she remembered, she gave up her plan to continue persuading, but nodded slightly: "I understand, it will be arranged according to your intention."

After saying this, Windsor?? Maple paused for a while, and after a slight hesitation, she looked at Daniel and said, "Teacher, where have you lived in the past few years?"

"Is this part of the investigation?"

Windsor?? Maple did not hesitate this time: "This is my duty."

"That's a good answer - I've been in Typhon all these years, and in the southwest, the Royal Mages Society can investigate at will, including anyone I've come into contact with, you can investigate. Any more questions?"

Windsor shook his head: "No more."

"Okay, then I'll leave - this place isn't comfortable to be in."

Daniel called Mary who was still in a daze beside him, turned around and walked towards the gate, but at this moment, the association president suddenly spoke again: "Teacher, you really didn't have to leave back then, those who excluded and ridiculed The people who have passed you are just mediocre people, and they have now…”

Daniel stopped and looked back at Windsor: "Because I'm jealous of you."

Windsor?? Maple's voice stopped abruptly, she stood there with a complicated expression on her face, and after a few seconds, she broke the silence: "Teacher, you know that I don't believe it."

"But it's a fact - maybe many magicians with mediocre qualifications will think that it is an honorable thing for their apprentices to be promoted to legends, but I'm never proud of this, because I know that you are promoted to legend only because You only have such a talent, it is not my credit, it is a talent that cannot be made up for with hard work, cannot be changed by any acquired means, and even has nothing to do with the personal ability of the mentor, any mediocre lame mage will be you My mentor can make you become a legend, and even if the goddess of magic descends, it will not allow me to break through to the advanced level.”

Daniel said this quietly, then turned around and left the association president's room without a pause.

Windsor?? Maple quietly watched the hunched back of the old mage disappear behind the door, and didn't say a word.

She knew that her former teacher was not jealous of her. What he really resented was the iron rule that "talent decides everything".

He doesn't mind that his apprentice can be promoted to legend early, and he doesn't mind that his apprentice can far surpass himself in magical attainments, but he can't accept that all this is determined by talent, and he can't accept that there is a boundary in the middle, and this This boundary line cannot be shaken by any means through acquired efforts.

Windsor?? Maple sighed softly—perhaps long before she reached the advanced level, long before the mentor encountered the bottleneck of his own talent, the latter had foreseen what was going to happen, so he opened that Seen as deviant and whimsical research.

Neural Interaction Magic Theory.

Technology that transforms the human body through implants, neurosurgery, life-long synergists, and more.

The mentor who never believed in fate chose to fight against fate more than 20 years ago. At that time, everyone thought that he had failed, but fortunately, now he is back.

Although he has changed a lot, and although he says he has surgically turned himself into a "monster", everything will be fine.

...

Along the way, Daniel was silent, and Mary could only close her mouth carefully and quietly followed behind the old mage. She really had a lot of questions to ask, because what happened today really challenged her cognition and even challenged her. The three views she has established so far—the president of the Royal Mage Association turned out to be the apprentice of the mentor back then? The female magician who broke through the legendary rank at the youngest age in Typhon's history turned out to be his "senior sister"? The mentor was once such a big man?

All this was something Mary never dared to imagine!

However, she did not dare to ask a word before the instructor allowed it.

This state of suffocation lasted for a long time, and it was not until after walking out of the gate of the Royal Mages Association that Daniel finally broke the silence: "Is there a lot of problems?"

"Ah... yes," Mary was startled, then nodded quickly, "I... I didn't expect you to be so... The president of the Royal Mages Association turned out to be your apprentice?!"

"Stupid question, I still need to ask it again," Daniel glanced at Mary, "She is indeed my apprentice, but she became the president of the association after I left, including her promotion after that. It happened. When I left, she was just an ordinary high-level mage like me."

"Then did you really leave the association because of your research on neuromodification? Now that you have succeeded, those who mocked you must be ashamed..."

Mary spoke quickly, but after she said it, she suddenly realized that she had said too boldly: Daniel never liked to be mentioned any connection between him and the Royal Society of Mages, this is to say under any circumstances A forbidden sentence that will incur punishment!

The poor girl immediately became tense, and all her muscles were tense in tension.

Daniel sneered: "Success? If you think these nerve cords are success, I'll put them on you today."

Mary trembled a bit, but just when she thought she would really suffer such a terrible fate, she found out that it was just a joke by the old mage——

"Look at your appearance, do you think I have the extra patience to do this kind of modification for you?" Daniel waved his hand, "Your talent is like a monkey, any modification is a waste of materials."

Mary didn't care about her tutor's evaluation of her talent at all, she just felt greatly relieved, and then sighed: "Other people will not believe it, Ms. Windsor?? Maple is our senior..."

"You don't have to be so in awe of Windsor."

Daniel suddenly interrupted Mary's sigh, and then in the latter's slightly dazed gaze, he raised his head and looked at the foggy streets of Aldernan.

"If you knew his mighty power, you wouldn't be in awe of anyone."

The old mage stepped forward and continued to walk towards the fog in Aldenan with Mary.

"Don't waste your master's time, we still have a lot to do."
