125: Chapter 125 Renting the Laboratory

Gray and Eliza exchanged glances, and finally, Gray decided to tell the story himself, with Eliza adding details on the side.

When Byron heard about the battle between the Stigmata Wizard and the Void Creature, he was filled with longing; he truly wished he could have seen it with his own eyes.

To see what a battle between Official Wizards was really like.

After Gray finished, Byron asked impatiently: "Gray, Eliza, when you were watching the Stigmata Wizard fight, did you use a recording crystal to capture the scene?!"

Hearing this, Gray and Eliza looked at each other, helplessness appearing on their faces.

Seeing this, a bad premonition arose in Byron's heart.

The pair's next sentence finally crushed his hanging heart.

Eliza shook her head and said: "Byron, that was the scene of a Stigmata Wizard battle. We were wishing we had more eyes to see it more clearly; how could we have had the heart and spare Mental Energy to record the footage?"

Gray also nodded in agreement from the side: "Indeed, if you were there, Byron, you certainly wouldn't have been willing to be distracted by recording, let alone us."

Hearing this, Byron opened his mouth, but in the end, he really didn't know what to say, so he had to close his mouth again.

Seeing Byron's expression, Gray and Eliza both laughed out loud.

This made Byron realize that the two were teasing him. He immediately stood up, looked at them with an evil expression, chuckling, and walked towards them while cracking his knuckles.

Seeing Byron like this, Eliza was so frightened that her face paled, and she quickly explained: "Byron, we didn't lie to you; we really didn't record it."

Byron: "Then what were you laughing about just now?"

Gray: "Although Eliza and I didn't record it, that doesn't mean others didn't!"

"Besides, you asked us just now if we had recorded it. We truly didn't record it, we were just telling the truth."

Hearing this, Byron felt that what Gray said made sense, so he sat back down in his seat, and the three of them returned to their previous atmosphere.

Afterwards, Byron asked about some things concerning Eliza and Gray, and after chatting for a while, the gathering came to a successful conclusion.

Furthermore, the gathering, which had been paused due to missions, was restored, but it was changed to a monthly meeting.

After Byron left the restaurant, he felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his entire being, returning to the state he was in before entering the Ghost Marrow Crystal Nest Plane.

And this was also the reason why the three of them had to gather every month.

In this world where he was a stranger with no family, and didn't even have many familiar people, being able to laugh and scold with people he truly trusted, and showing his emotions without disguise, was for Byron...

It really allowed his tense nerves to relax, so he could meet subsequent challenges in a better state.

Byron did not return to the dormitory but instead went to the academic affairs area.

He prepared to rent a real Laboratory to use for subsequent experiments; he could no longer just find any random room to start experimenting as he had done before.

Not only because he had enough Magic Stones now, so he didn't need to worry that renting a Laboratory would delay other plans.

Moreover, the experiments he needed to do now were not like before, where he could get by with just two broken glass bottles; they had to be formalized.

Walking into the academic affairs office, Byron found the department responsible for renting Laboratories with ease.

The duty wizard heard Byron's request without saying much and took him directly into a room.

After closing the door, in the moment the room fell into darkness, countless glowing characters and patterns suddenly appeared in the air.

At the same time, the duty wizard began to introduce: "In the academy, most of the Laboratories that students can rent are concentrated next to the instructors' experimental area."

"And these Laboratories are divided into four Ranks—A, B, C, and D—according to their protective level and the preciousness of the experimental equipment."

"The higher the Rank of the Laboratory, the more expensive the rental fee, but rest assured, although it costs many Magic Stones, it is definitely worth the price."

"These are the relevant Materials for some of the currently vacant Laboratories. You can take a look first, and if you have any questions, you can ask me at any time."

Hearing the duty wizard's words, Byron said nothing and began to flip through the displayed information.

Byron chose to look from the highest to the lowest, starting with the Class A Laboratories.

Looking at the pictures of those Class A Laboratories, as well as some of the marked parameters, Byron was truly envious.

These Laboratories were not only top-notch in terms of security, but they were also divided into different areas, and could even provide certain experimental equipment according to the needs of the renting wizard.

These experimental equipment were all free, as long as they were not damaged.

Seeing this, Byron wished he could make a decision immediately.

But after glancing at the required Magic Stones, Byron silently closed all the information on the Class A Laboratories.

Damn thing, it actually dared to disturb my Dao Heart; it almost succeeded!

The duty wizard saw Byron's actions without saying a word or showing any unusual expression.

Because he had seen too many people like Byron, and even he himself had been like Byron the first time.

After some selection, and with the assistance of the Eye of Omniscience, Byron finally selected a Class B Laboratory near the instructors' Laboratory.

Although the Class B Laboratory could not compare to those Class A ones, it could still be considered quite good.

The Laboratory not only had an overall protective Magic Array to prevent others from disturbing him, but each area also had a corresponding Magic Array for the wizard to use.

One more thing, although he could not use various experimental equipment for free, Class B also allowed him to rent experimental equipment for a small fee.

After paying the Magic Stones for renting the Laboratory and obtaining the corresponding permissions, Byron headed towards the market under the envious gaze of that duty wizard.

A note here: in fact, in the academy, apart from instructors, most academic affairs positions were held by students of the academy.

The reason they were willing to waste their precious time doing such things was, of course, because they had no Magic Stones and were in urgent need of learning, so they came to work while studying.

After all, not everyone could be like Byron, who was not short of Magic Stones and came to rent a Laboratory in his second year of enrollment.

Since the Laboratory was ready, he needed to go pick out some Materials and helpers that could be used for experiments.

Soon, Byron arrived at the market.

And he did not walk directly towards the workshops selling potions or Materials in the market as he had in the past, but instead walked in another direction.

After stepping through a barrier, the noise that could not be heard in the academy suddenly entered Byron's ears.
