Chapter 247: Chapter 198 Highmore Mage

Gandalf?

I seem to recall seeing a portrait of him on the wall of the corridor.

Gapar remembered he was an elderly man in grey robes, looking very kind, with deep eyes as if hiding some great secret, enticing people to get lost in them.

The robe, the big beard, the somewhat worn Magic Wand; all these elements on Gandalf fit the image of a reclusive Magician quite well.

It gives off the impression of a hermit-like figure, like the kind who would appear just in time to save the protagonist from trouble, or when the protagonist is at a loss, he would come over to give guidance.

He’s going to be my mentor? That feels pretty good.

But how is he going to teach me?

At the moment the question arose, the Tutor Hat murmured to itself:

[Can’t believe it’s Gandalf, his stuff is really...for students]

"No matter what difficulty, I can overcome it." Gapar said earnestly, interpreting the unspoken part of the Tutor Hat’s sentence as suggesting Gandalf’s Magic is difficult to learn.

[I think you’ll soon find it hard to say such words, anyway, I’ll call Gandalf over to get the student]

[Duru duru duru—]

The Tutor Hat suddenly made a strange sound effect, leaving Gapar quite puzzled; he didn’t know that such a sound effect on Earth was called a telephone ring, he just felt unnerved.

But the previous words from the other party made him look forward to it; what does it mean to call Gandalf over to get me, does it mean I could actually meet these Magicians in person?

Then, if other adventurers were assigned to other mentors, could they also meet those Magicians on the wall?

The potential value of this new area, the Reyalucaria Magic Classroom, suddenly maxed out in his mind.

If it’s as he guessed, maybe the entire Yanor Kingdom, no, the entire continent would witness a revival of Magic.

The old folks at the Magic Association are going to have a headache, after years of monopoly, problems are bound to emerge.

[Duru...why isn’t he answering, what is that old man Gandalf up to]

The Tutor Hat called several times, but no one responded to its calls; instead, the weird "telephone ring" was nearly brainwashing Gapar.

The communication magic failed? If so—

Gapar thought for a moment, and speaking as a student, he said: "I’ll go see the mentor. Having the mentor come to receive me seems too disrespectful."

[You do have a good sense of propriety. Are your ancestors from the Roder family of the Royal City?]

"What?" He looked puzzled.

[Pity you can’t see him by your own power. The mentors are in the research area, a separate domain from this one, no one can enter without a mentor’s guidance.]

What should I do then?

[How about this, the Communication Center might be out of energy, that’s why Gandalf didn’t receive my message. Take the Philosopher’s Stone from under the rostrum to the Communication Center to replace its energy source, then come back and tell me.]

The classic fetch quest, this is more like an [event] that would happen in a Dungeon.

But when Gapar asked what this Communication Center looked like, where it was, the Tutor Hat was stumped, and merely told him to go find it himself, or if really necessary, to seek help from the Magicians outside.

Does he mean those guys with stone hoods outside? So, they can be spoken to.

He left the room with the Tutor Hat, looked outside, and the two Magicians were still standing at the end of the corridor, so he walked over.

"Good morning, do you know..."

What responded to him were the lighting of a Magic Wand in the air and the immediate Luminous Stone Magic Gravel following it!

Isn’t that going to attack me?

Gapar dodged while patiently explaining: "Wait, I’m a new student. Gandalf is my mentor; if there is any problem, you can go to him."

Unfortunately, they wouldn’t listen at all, and when getting close they even tried to hit him with the books they were holding.

"Grunt, uh..."

A muffled groan came from under their hoods, sounding far from rational, anyone who approached could sense that the mental state of these Magicians was not optimistic.

Gapar frowned and knocked them out with a punch each, removing their hoods, only to see that the people inside looked withered, apparently having become Animated Corpses which lost Humanity and only attacked others.

"What happened?"

Doesn’t the Tutor Hat know the situation of these Magicians, why did it still ask me to seek help from them?

Just then, a sound of something heavy rolling on the ground came from behind, Gapar turned his head and saw a yellow Warrior Pot charging towards him.

It only took a backward jump to easily dodge this overly obvious attack, instead, the Warrior Pot itself crashed into the wall and shattered.

"Shoot." He looked at the blood on the floor, uncertain of how to react.

Because the suicide charge of the Warrior Pot took away the Magicians who were unconscious on the ground, he originally wanted to bring the people to the Tutor Hat to take a look.

Is there any way to understand what exactly happened here?

He chose the left fork in the road, which was the direction from which the Warrior Pot had come and continued walking, then suddenly something occurred to him.

Right, I have the Hunting Manual.

After flipping through the book with a "whirl", Gapar did find the information of the two Magicians he encountered earlier in the Hunting Manual.

So, they were categorized as Monsters.
