Wizard of science

Standing at the door of the room, looking at the wizard in the corridor, Li He seriously considered the other party's transaction proposal.

After a moment, he slowly said: "I am very moved by the wizard's proposal...but..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that I can only take out at most fifty-four rubies now, and some of them are still flawed." Li He said. Naturally, he doesn't only have fifty-four rubies, he can produce five hundred and forty. However, it was only his first time contacting the other party. He could not figure out the other party's thoughts and did not dare to take out too much amount rashly.

It's not that he doesn't feel sorry for rubies. After all, they are all synthetic and the cost is extremely low. I'm just a little worried that taking out a lot of rubies too easily may cause other troubles.

"Fifty-four rubies..." The old wizard in the corridor clicked his tongue and slowly exhaled, "Okay, fifty-four rubies will be fifty-four. I will still tell you the location. However, the friendship given will shrink accordingly. See you tomorrow, give me the ruby, and I will give you the detailed location, is that okay?"

"No problem." Li He nodded.

"Go ahead."

"yes."

Li He stepped out of the wizard's residence.

After Li He left, the wizard looked at his student Geller, raised his eyelids and asked, "Do you think this kid just now can really only produce fifty-four rubies?"

"This..." Geller hesitated, feeling a little unable to answer.

To be honest, at first, he thought Li He couldn't even bring out twenty rubies, but in the end he brought out a hundred, and now he has promised fifty-four more. It makes sense to be able to bring out more.

But, then again. According to the current ruby ​​shortage situation within the academy, even if the person with the title of "Hamster Wizard" who likes to collect resources the most in the academy is looted, there may not be 156 rubies. Li He was able to produce one hundred and fifty-six rubies, which was extremely amazing. If there were more, I really doubt whether there is a magical item that can automatically produce rubies.

As far as he knew, there seemed to be a magical item called "Endless Wealth" in the legend. It looked like a money bag and could continuously produce gold coins from it.

Geller hesitated, and the wizard answered aloud: "Whether our little friend can come up with more rubies or not, I have to order the fifty-four rubies tomorrow. Just show it to me. As soon as he comes Just notify me immediately, and I’m waiting for his ruby ​​to be used for the next round of experimental research.”

"Yes." Geller responded quickly.

…

In a blink of an eye, the next day.

In the early morning, Li He returned to the wooden building where the wizard was located and handed over a cloth bag, which contained the promised fifty-four rubies.

The wizard checked it quickly, nodded with satisfaction, and handed over a parchment scroll without any hesitation.

After opening it, there is a map with many detailed locations marked on it. One of them has "Ecstasy Valley" written in red writing, which is a place where various parasites can be caught.

"It's about five days' journey from Dark Heart Academy. Take this scroll and go directly to the wizard 'Badda' in the mission hall. I have already made arrangements. He will give you a strengthened horse and give it to you. Just go through all the procedures to leave the academy and go directly to the destination, and there will be receptionists at the destination. Overall, there is nothing to worry about except that you need to catch the parasites yourself."

After hearing this, Li He was slightly stunned. He really didn't expect that the other party's arrangements were so thorough. To be honest, this kind of broke his stereotype of wizards.

How could a wizard do this for his apprentice wizard?

"Thank you, Lord Wizard." He thanked him aloud.

The wizard waved his hand: "No need to thank you. Have you forgotten? I said that in addition to telling you the location, you will also get my friendship. I am not just talking, friendship is friendship. If you get it, you will be my friend. As a friend, I will naturally help you handle these trivial matters."

"But..." the wizard paused and continued, "But because you only gave me fifty-four rubies, what I got was a shrinking friendship. We can only be regarded as ordinary friends now, and I can only help you arrange this." kind of degree.

If you give me a hundred rubies, or even more, the friendship you gain will make you my best friend. At that time, you may not know whether I will send a few third-level wizard apprentices to protect you, or even accompany you personally. You go to capture the parasite. It’s a pity, it’s a pity…”

Li He blinked and quickly summarized the core meaning of the wizard's words: not enough money. You get what you pay for, and the service comes as many rubies as there are.

It's very inducing... Li He sighed in his heart, but with a bit of regret on his face, he said: "That's really a pity, but I really don't have any more rubies."

The wizard looked at Li He seriously for a while, as if to confirm the authenticity, and finally exhaled, shook his head and said: "Okay, then you go back quickly, and pay attention to safety on the way. If you can get more in the future Ruby, remember to tell me.”

"Okay, Lord Wizard."

"You don't need to call me Lord Wizard. I said, you have my friendship. We are already friends. Just call me by name. I know from Geller that your name is Li He, Li He Nubarton, right? You can call me by my name..." The wizard said very naturally. At the end of the sentence, his movements suddenly stopped, and his whole body stopped in place, as if he was petrified.

"Sir, you?" Li He asked with a questioning look.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Geller asked with concern from the side.

The wizard blinked his eyes and pursed his lips, as if he was pondering something, and then fell into deep thought.

After a few seconds, the corner of his mouth twitched, he took a breath, and slowly turned his head to look at his student Geller. Geller was a little panicked, and finally said: "What...what is my name?"

Li He: "..."

Geller: "..."

Facing the gaze of the wizard teacher, Geller went from not understanding to being stunned, and then became a little resentful, his eyebrows lowered, and he sighed: "Teacher, I have been your student for almost half a year, but you never told me your name is What name? Just let me call you 'Teacher No. 1'. I thought you thought I was not a good student enough to deserve to know your name. Did you forget your name?"

"So I haven't told you my name. Well, I was busy doing experiments and neglected it." The wizard showed a somewhat stunned expression, then waved his hand and said calmly, "It's not too late now, after all, the name is just a name. Code name.”

"Listen up, you two." The wizard glanced at Geller, then at Li He, and said seriously, "My name is..."

"..."

There was an awkward silence.

Just when Li He and Geller couldn't help but look at the wizard again.

The other party finally made a sound from his mouth, one syllable after another: "Bo... Bo... Bo... Na... Si."

"Yes, my name is Bobobonas. From now on, one of you can call me Teacher Bobobonas, and the other can call me Wizard Bobobonas."
