Chapter 2432 Something Happens To Evie
“Of course not! Can’t you tell that they’re deriding us? What else can it be if not an insult when they even told me to go and learn the Iron Golem Technique from Levi?”
Edmund’s chagrined voice rang out.
Verily, he thought that the Twin Meteorites and the others were disparaging him by telling him to learn the Iron Golem Technique from Levi.
“Other than me, the only person in this world who knows the Iron Golem Technique is my master!” he asserted seriously.
The hundred young talents didn’t know about Levi taking him as a disciple, so Jessica immediately retorted, “That’s impossible! Our master knows it too!”
“Yes, our master knows it too! Yours is nothing compared to his Iron Golem Technique!”
The two parties continued bickering.
Afraid that things would get physical, Eragon’s elders took the hundred young talents away at once to continue with the closed, top-secret training.
They decided that the test could be done later.
Meanwhile, Edmund was teetering on the brink of blowing his top.
Argh! Not only did I fail to establish my authority in front of them, but my Golem body was broken instead! What a disgrace!
Levi, on the other hand, was rather impressed with the closed-door training plan of young talents.
After all, it was quite a targeted plan of action to secretly train a hundred young talents for future use.
In actual fact, it was the idea of The Manifest Court.
The Manifest Court had long since griped that The Cardinal Hall and Eragon were lagging far too much compared with the Lab of Gods.
For that reason, they had to plan ahead and make preparations.
That was one of the initiatives.
At that moment, Levi wasn’t far from the training base as he was waiting for someone.
Shortly after, Edmund gloomily appeared.
The moment he glimpsed Levi’s back, his eyes lit up.
“M-Master… why are you here?”
He excitedly rushed forward and dropped to a knee on the ground.
Indeed, Levi was taking on the appearance of his master right then.
“Why do you think? What an idiot! You’re simply a disgraceful piece of trash! If this is how things are going to be, don’t ever mention that you’re my disciple! I don’t want to be humiliated!” Levi barked coldly.
I personally picked him and initially thought that he was the best choice. But never expected had I expected him to simply laze around all day and spend zero effort in training after having obtained the Iron Golem Technique. Worse still, he goes around bragging and showing off, using it as something to boost his ego instead of utilizing it to fortify himself. Then, he even wanted to use his amateurish Level Five of the Iron Golem Technique for a show of intimidation. Well, he ended up being defeated by the Twin Meteorites!
“Huh?”
Seemingly having realized something, Edmund’s expression changed in the blink of an eye.
“I’ve embarrassed you, Master…”
He was close to tears.
“Do you know where you did wrong?” Levi questioned.
“Yeah… I won’t use the Iron Golem Technique to show off anymore…”
Edmund hung his head low.
“Okay! I’ll give you a task, then. Before you master Level Seven, don’t say that you know the Iron Golem Technique!” Levi ordered.
Good grief! He’s really lacking in all aspects. If it were Evie, I would’ve instructed her to train until Level Nine!
After leaving, Levi started turning things over in his mind.
Is the Lab of Gods doing exactly the same thing as Eragon? Everyone who went there for closed and top-secret training seemingly disappeared into thin air. Are they also coming out from time to time to test their strength in this new era? Perhaps this possibility truly exists… It was indeed a golden opportunity when the Iron Golem Technique came into existence back then, but I didn’t know that in advance. Is there a way to lure them out?
While he was still racking his brains for a way to do so, his thoughts were interrupted.
Bang!
The door was kicked open in that instance, and Zoey frantically hurried in.
“Oh dear! Something has happened to Evie!”
“What? How could something have happened to her? Aren’t her masters with her?” Levi queried.
“But both Evie and her masters are in trouble now! There is a confidential message from The Cardinal Hall just now…”
