Chapter 223 The Eyes
Before arriving at the dungeon's entrance, Vincent was actually a bit concerned about going outside the city.
However, after taking a glance at his professor's Magician Robe, he noticed a blurred red object on her chest. Needless to say, it was the Red Emblem that shows that she's similar to Professor Turhan's level, a Grand Magus…
After that, he decided to be shameless for once and asked about her level of multicasting…
In the end, Vincent learned that, unlike Turhan who can only do dual-casting, Professor Levent is actually more impressive! She's a genuine tri-caster!
She's a powerful magician that can certainly fight several Archmages on her own.
With this level, normal Savage Beasts or even Magic Beasts would be easily killed by her.
Vincent had read once within the Knowledged Base Crystal about the strength of a tri-caster that has mastered three types of elements.
A fireball can come at you head-on, the earth can crumble under your feet, and any attempt to counterattack would be stopped by a giant blob of water. This is a power that even Vincent would want to obtain for himself.
Casting three Mana Arts at the same time is just too unfair for the enemy…
Anyway, after arriving at the green lake about two and a half hours later, Vincent saw the green lake and thought that it was just a landmark to confirm their current location.
To his surprise, the beautiful and kind professor invited him outside as she proudly introduced the lake as her dungeon.
"This lake is the entrance to the dungeon I bought… Although it's a bit expensive, this is still one of the closest in the Tower."
'Well, you should've bought a personal flying airship so we can get here faster though…' Vincent thought. If he knows that it would take this much time to get here, he would've offered to use his Vermillion Hawk instead of asking Tara to just secretly follow them.
Nevertheless, now that they are here, Vincent could only ask how to enter this dungeon.
"Do we have to get wet every time we enter the dungeon?" Vincent asked. He wasn't sure but it seems that the lake is not clean. It might be full of algae or whatever green things there are that were filling the whole lake.
"Ahh… Don't worry, the lake is just some sort of water formation hiding the dungeon… I placed it there after buying the dungeon. It can be used to kill… Ehem, I mean to protect this dungeon from other people or even beasts that are wandering around this area."
"Hmm… No wonder. Right, I noticed that there is still a paved road here… Did you arrange for that as well?"
"Ahh, no way… If you continue the road from here up to that hill ahead of us, it will lead you to another large dungeon and the nearest Black Tower. There's also the Barbed River on our left and the Scale Forest on our right… If you're unaware of it, that Scale Forest is where the students will normally put to test."
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Vincent asked in confusion.
"Since you entered the academy through a recommendation, you only need to prove yourself in a competition against other kids who had also received a recommendation. If not, you will be like the normal recruits who need to study here for years and prove themselves. One of these methods to prove yourself is to survive in that Scale Forest for a month and many students couldn't pass that. Furthermore, Professor Turhan can only use the recommendation as far as I know and he still gave it to you."
"No wonder… I didn't know that. I guess I was really lucky to meet the professor." Vincent said as even though he knows that the recommendation was valuable, he didn't expect that it would be this great.
"Yes, so you have to thank Professor Turhan for that. Well, he might even come to you once you get your emblem and get his payment."
Vincent smiled since it would indeed be better if he could repay the professor.
Anyway, the coachman was left in the carriage and let the two of them enter the dungeon.
Levent controlled the water formation as the green water started fading away… There seems to be another water formation blocking their path, it seems like a water well this time, but the professor just ignored it. She led Vincent to dive into this well filled with clean water…
However, the two did not get wet at all as their vision turned dark… Vincent then felt the familiar sensation of entering a dungeon.
The two of them were summoned on top of the rock and arrived in a huge cavern. There's no longer any water around them but just a huge space.
The cavern was illuminated by glowing rocks and a gust of wind would sometimes go in their direction and it was coming from the deeper part of the dungeon.
They were currently at the center of this large cavern and just a few steps away from them is the capsule.
This is the first time that Vincent saw the Cryogenic Sleep Chamber since he was blind when he appraise it before.
Now, he was able to ascertain that the capsule is actually a metallic green object that reflects the light quite beautifully.
"Do you need my help?" Professor Levent asked interrupting his thoughts.
"Hmmm… I'm not sure, Professor. You know that the thing inside can be very dangerous. If that's really the case, I might need your help to neutralize whatever is inside."
"Yes… Don't worry, we're currently under a huge formation. If it's a dangerous creature, I can kill or restrain it even if it's the rumored mythical beast. But if not, it's better not to agitate whatever's inside and show any form of hostility. I like to study whatever is inside this thing after all."
Professor Levent replied.
"Alright then… I'm going to start. First, I'll get a quick glance inside this thing."
Vincent's words confused Levent for a moment.
However, she realized that he was actually using an interspatial ring as he brought out a weird object…
"Hmm? What are those—Ah? That's a Barbarian King's eyes?!"
