The black coloured ball floated in front and occasionally spun in a circle. Its speed was not too fast, and with Leylin’s body of a peak Preparatory Knight, he easily followed along.
From time to time, there were acolytes passing, but they did not look at Leylin in astonishment.
Leylin followed the shadow slave and passed through several corridors, two large halls, and a garden. It then stopped in front of an area designed for experiment labs.
The shadow slave turned translucent, and immediately passed through the door, leaving Leylin outside.
Leylin was speechless, yet he did not dare knock on the door. Therefore, he just waited outside patiently.
After a moment, there came a middle-aged man’s voice.
“Leylin, huh? Enter!”
“Yes!” Leylin pushed opened the doors of the experimental lab.
A sweet and spicy aroma filled the laboratory room, mingling with the odour of poisonous fumes and liquids, which made Leylin furrow his brows.
A huge table took up the space of almost half the lab, and placed on it were various test tubes, flasks and beakers, as well as some other apparatus that Leylin could not identify. This made Leylin recall his previous life.
In front of the laboratory table, there stood a white-haired, middle-aged man who wore white robes. His collar was embroidered with golden patterns, and his eyes emitted a golden light, like two golden gems.
“I’m Kroft, and I’ve heard the details from the shadow slave. So then, Leylin, are you willing to become my apprentice?” The middle-aged man put down the test tube in his hands and said solemnly.
