"It's okay," Frank muttered.
"How can it be okay?!" Jas shouted. "Your body can't endure this!"
"Adam told that my problem can be solved and the probability of success is high," Frank said, leaving the laboratory.
Jas wanted to stop him, but let him leave. After watching Frank leave, he asked Adam, "Is what he said true? Are you very sure about it?"
Adam simply glanced at Jas without answering, and Jas sighed, "I understand." A risky operation like this always cos with a risk of failure. If it works, it'll be good for Frank. Better to do sothing than do nothing.
...
The agreed three-day period has passed, and Frank did not return to the laboratory. The laboratory's assistants returned to the lab after their vacation and continued Adam's various experints that they did not understand. After watching Adam's display of power, they had no more complaints about the work.
Jas was getting more and more anxious at Frank's absence. Apprentices and mages are usually on ti, so his absence must an that sothing has happened to him.
Just as he was about to go look for him, Frank ca back.
"Adam, sorry, but I seem to be in big trouble," Frank panted.
"What happened? Is it related to ?" Adam said, pausing his work.
Frank nodded. If it was his own business, he would never think to bother Adam, but it seems that Adam has been roped in as well.
The matter started three days ago -- The Moldo Tower had no way of making a chanical body for Frank, so the only option was to head over to the City of Annecy, which is closer to the Holy Tower.
After receiving so financial support from Adam, he took a portal over to the City of Annecy, and ca to the shop where he last purchased a chanical body.
Annecy is a City of Mages, and most of the people who live and run the city are mages and apprentices. The owner of the chanical body shop is a Level 2 Mage specializing in alchemy.
The Mage working there found that Frank's energy fluctuations were much stronger than before, and his body was surrounded by a strange energy, which can ease his pain. Besides, the Mage discovered that Frank was able to withstand magic, which caught his attention.
After listening to Frank's explanation regarding psychic power, he was amazed. He offered to help Frank obtain a better chanical body and help him to neutralise the body's rejection to observe the effect of psychic power, but Frank refused.
"Sorry, Mage Morde, but I am simply here to buy a chanical body. As for the installation and post-installation neutralization... sobody else will help ."
"Who? Other than , which other alchemist has this kind of prowess?"
"Um... it's my superior -- a new apprentice."
After Frank explained it carefully, the Mage stood up angrily.
"Are you out of your mind? You would rather trust this small fry than accept my help? Do you know how complicated it is to install a chanical body? And you said he wants to transform the energy structure in the chanical body?"
Frank hesitated for a mont and lowered his head, "I'm really sorry, respected Mage Morde, but..."
...
The devil's chin was resting on the ground and said in disbelief, "So a Level 2 alchemist decided to co over here to find my master?"
Frank's mouth twitched in embarrassnt, "Although it sounds unbelievable, it is the truth. He should have arrived by now."
"Master, what should we do? Should we kill the mage and run away together?"
Frank didn't take the devil's words seriously, but he felt ashad, "Adam, I didn't expect this to happen, I apologize, but I can't change a mage's will."
Adam thought it was unbelievable too, but he guesses that the mage was simply bored and had nothing to do.
Although it was a surprise, Adam wasn't in a panic. After all, he was still in the Tower, so he wouldn't be in danger.
Just as Adam was about to speak, the door to his laboratory was knocked on, and the devil shuddered from head to toe.
...
Jas opened the door and was stunned seeing Mage Jino at the door, "Good day. Respected Mage Jino, and you are...?"
Before Mage Jino could speak, the unfamiliar man beside him bellowed, "Are you that arrogant little guy?" and a wave of ntal power swept over his body. "Hmm... not you."
Mage Jino smiled awkwardly and stepped forward to shield Jas, "Mage Morde, calm down. You are on Academy grounds, so watch yourself."
Mage Morde waved his hand carelessly, "I know, I know! But I have the need to discipline a certain arrogant fellow, let him know to fear my knowledge and not just talk big."
Adam heard everything as he walked out of his room. Although Mage Morde was angry, he never stepped foot into the laboratory, so Adam was impressed.
Jas retreated behind Adam and hurriedly whispered, "Adam, what have you gotten yourself into?! It seems like this Mage is going to teach you a lesson!"
