Chapter 331 Come to the Tower to Find Me
Beckham chuckled as he looked at Anthony and said, "Wizard Anthony, it seems you are quite aware of your current status."
"Having lost your chance to become a formal wizard, you are no longer the genius wizard in the eyes of formal wizards."
Anthony said, "I am aware of my current position."
"Hmm...it's good that you recognize this." Beckham said calmly, "You have no powerful connections and a lack of talent. It's best not to be like some people, arrogant and conceited, daring to reject even the suggestions of formal wizards."
Leo noticed that Beckm was looking at him when he said those words.
He muttered to himself.
He had never seen the wizard in front of him before, so why was he mocking him?
Beckm then turned his gaze to Leo and said with a smile, "This must be Wizard Leo... I've heard Wizard Beth mention you before. I'm also very grateful to you; if you hadn't rejected Wizard Beth's offer, I wouldn't have been chosen by Wizard Beth as the last person to attempt to break through to become a formal wizard."
"However, there are still many variables in advancing to the rank of a full-fledged wizard, and one must be prepared for all sorts of things." Wizard Beckm spoke eloquently: "Although being chosen by Wizard Beth means that he has high hopes for me, one must always prepare in advance to prevent unexpected events, which is what a qualified wizard should do."
Beckham raised his hand and said, "Wizard Anthony, I've come to you this time to purchase the complete exoskeleton spell absorption equipment produced by your research lab."
Anthony glanced at Leo.
Leo waved his hand, indicating, "It's alright, if he wants to buy it, let him buy it."
Anthony then said, "Wizard Beckham, the complete exoskeleton spell absorption equipment will cost 2.5 million magic stones."
Beckm readily pulled out the magic stones, saying, "Cheap, incredibly cheap. A mere two and a half million magic stones is nothing to me."
"Alright, Wizard Anthony, Wizard Leo, I hope that when we meet again, I will have become a fully-fledged wizard. After all, if I fail, there will be no new fully-fledged wizards to emerge in the future."
After Beckham left, Anthony put on a helpless expression and said, "Beckham was a research partner of mine. Because I performed the best in the research, he has always wanted to compare himself with me ever since."
"After I failed to advance, Wizard Beckham became arrogant in his attitude towards me. This was especially true when he was chosen as the last person to attempt to become a full wizard."
Hearing Anthony say that, Alice blinked and said, "No wonder. I always felt like every word he said was alluding to something, which made me feel uncomfortable."
Leo pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, I've heard of this name before. The official wizard who mentioned it to me said that Beckm was chosen because he had almost no chance of becoming an official wizard."
What Leo said was almost exactly what Beth was saying at the time.
However, Anthony frowned as he listened and said, "Impossible, right? This is the last spot for a first-class wizard to advance to a full-fledged wizard. If we waste this last spot, it would be equivalent to cutting off the possibility of all first-class wizard apprentices advancing to full-fledged wizards."
Alice added, "Yes, even a formal wizard, no matter how casual, would never make such a decision."
Leo said, "That's true, maybe I misunderstood."
"It must be a misunderstanding."
Leo's eyebrows relaxed.
Let's leave Alice aside for now.
Although Anthony was tricked by the official wizards, he still maintained a certain level of trust in them.
This trust came about very subtly.
"Wizard Leo, do you think Beckm has a chance to break through and become a formal wizard?" Suddenly, Anthony asked with a hint of reluctance.
Leo said, "Wizard Anthony, do you remember the conditions I mentioned to you before?"
"Even if Wizard Beckm uses up the last of his Dark Gold, I can still offer you this condition."
Upon hearing this, Anthony's face was filled with disbelief. He said, "Wizard Leo, you mean you can make ink... you mean, make that thing?"
Anthony's gaze fell on Alice, and he changed his words.
Leo nodded and said, "Yes. You should know about my research talent, right? It's not impossible to create something like this."
Anthony fell silent upon hearing this.
He originally thought that Leo would just give him his final share of the gold.
If that's the case, then Anthony doesn't want to gamble his entire future for this vague opportunity.
However, since Leo wasn't referring to the well-known share, Anthony was indeed somewhat tempted.
Anthony pondered for a moment and said, "Wizard Leo, are the only two conditions you mentioned the first two?"
"That's right." Leo thought for a moment, then suddenly added, "No, there's another condition: if you attempt to break through to become a formal wizard, I'll choose when you do it."
Anthony hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and took a deep breath as if he had made up his mind.
"Leo, is this deal still an opportunity for me?"
"certainly."
Anthony said, "Leo, please give me another chance."
"Very good, it's a pleasure working with you."
Leo nodded in satisfaction. It was clear that Beckham's appearance had subtly changed Anthony's mindset.
Anthony then shifted his gaze and said, "Recently, I've come to fully understand what kind of treatment ordinary first-class wizard apprentices receive."
"This is different from when I was expected to be a wizard by other wizarding apprentices and was recognized by professional wizards."
"The first-class wizard apprentices treated me as a failure, trying to trample me underfoot to prove that they were more talented than me and that they were more likely to become full wizards."
"The official wizards are eyeing my combo spells covetously. If it weren't for the restrictions of the Tower of Dawn, I'm afraid these official wizards would have stripped me of all my combo spells."
Leo laughed and said, "Wizard Anthony, seize the opportunity I'm giving you and let them see that you are still the same genius wizard who shone brightly in the Tower of Dawn and left everyone speechless."
Although Leo was just making empty promises, Anthony was deeply moved by what he heard.
"Yes, Wizard Leo!"
Anthony affirmed.
After persuading Anthony, Leo turned and left the research lab.
Leo picked up the communicator and said, "Witcher Pera, I will be leaving the Tower of Dawn in the next few days. After I leave, you will be temporarily in charge of liaising with the other projects I am in charge of. I have already provided the results of these studies; you just need to have them continue their research according to the data I left behind, and they will be able to complete the research smoothly."
