Chapter 170: The Flame Named Ambition

"Pfft"

Accompanied by the sound of air escaping, the door of the Laboratory, which had been dormant for over two years, opened in response.

Byron, whose skin had become fairer due to a lack of sunlight for a long time, slowly walked out from the opened door of the Laboratory.

Looking at Daphne and Wally, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, a smile also appeared on Byron's face.

Over the past two years, he truly had not stepped a single step out of the Laboratory, and this was also the longest time he had ever spent.

During this process, Byron never went out once to buy Materials, supplies, food, and other things, as they were all left to Daphne and Wally to handle.

It was precisely because of this that Byron was able to not step out of the Laboratory even once during the long two years.

This allowed him to concentrate on experimental research and continuously enhance his strength, bringing about a qualitative leap in his strength.

And this once again proved that his purchase of Daphne and Wally back then was an incomparably correct choice.

Looking at Daphne, whose eyes were filled with attachment and whose face wore a pitiful expression, Byron smiled and patted her head.

"Daphne, don't worry. After coming out this time, I won't enter the Laboratory again for a period of time, and I will stay outside all along."

Daphne opened her eyes wide and looked at Byron in disbelief: "Is what Master said true? Will you really stay outside for a period of time afterwards?"

After saying this, Daphne seemed to recall something, and her tone became somewhat downcast and pitiful as she spoke.

"Master, if you still need to enter the Laboratory, don't worry about Daphne. Just go ahead; Daphne cannot delay Master's affairs."

"During these two years, Daphne has also been continuously learning and striving to improve her own strength. She should soon be able to catch up with Master's pace and enter to accompany Master."

"Moreover, even if Daphne doesn't enter the Laboratory with Master, being able to help Master outside is enough to satisfy Daphne."

"After all, if those things were all left to Wally to handle, Daphne wouldn't feel at ease either."

Saying this, Daphne raised her cheek to look at Byron. As if to prove that what she said was sincere and to make Byron not worry, she forced a smile on her face.

As for Wally, who was mentioned on the side, a face full of question marks popped up, and he looked at Daphne with a strange expression.

Looking at his appearance, it was as if he was saying, "Are you alright, why drag me into this?"

Byron first smiled at Wally, and then vigorously rubbed Daphne's head.

"Daphne, when have I ever lied to you? This stage of the experiment has already come to a close; there is no need to enter the Laboratory again, so you can rest assured."

As Byron spoke, a mischievous smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he teased,

"Could it be that Daphne doesn't want to stay with me and wants to drive me into the Laboratory?"

"No, no, Master, Daphne definitely didn't mean that, Daphne is..."

Daphne anxiously waved her hands and began to explain.

Seeing her pitiful appearance of being on the verge of crying anxiously, Byron chuckled and laughed out loud.

Hearing this laughter, Daphne raised her head to look at Byron. Seeing his hearty laughter, how could she not know that Master was just teasing her just now.

But instead of being angry, Daphne, just like Byron, also revealed a smile, her eyes curving like crescent moons, and her tone was filled with attachment and satisfaction.

"Master, you are so good to Daphne."

Hearing this, Byron smiled slightly without speaking, his palm gently rubbing her hair, just like stroking a kitten.

He truly did not lie to Daphne; he might not enter the Laboratory again for a very long time afterwards, because the operation to go to the Otherworld was about to begin.

And during this period of time, he also needed to make all the necessary preparations.

Afterwards, after giving some instructions to Daphne and Wally and asking them to help purchase some Materials, Byron headed towards Mentor Isolde's experimental spire alone.

"Byron, are you sure that this Potion formula has already undergone complete verification and doesn't have the slightest problem?"

Isolde looked at the Potion formula in her hand and asked in a calm voice.

Hearing Isolde's words, Byron did not feel the slightest bit of tension. As if he had been prepared for a long time, he pulled out a stack of paper covered in handwriting from the spatial bag he carried with him and placed it in front of Isolde.

"Mentor, this is the complete verification process and corresponding experimental parameters I have recorded. Please examine them."

Seeing the stack of paper placed before her, Isolde nodded slightly, but after merely flipping through it a few times, she stopped her movements.

Seeing this, a trace of doubt surfaced in Byron's heart.

Regarding the verification process and experimental parameters, shouldn't one repeatedly read and verify them to see if there are any errors or omissions?

But why did Mentor Isolde just casually flip through it a few times?

Although Byron did not know the reason for this, he wouldn't narcissistically think that Mentor Isolde did this because she trusted him.

Without waiting for Byron to think too much, Isolde's voice sounded once again.

"Byron, are you sure you have thought it through, to sell this Potion formula that can accelerate a Wizard Apprentice's accumulation of Mental Energy to reach Perfection to me? Do you know what this represents?"

Hearing these words, Byron's expression did not change, and he nodded slightly.

"Mentor, I know what this represents."

"Selling this Potion formula to you means that from now on I will have no relationship whatsoever with this Potion formula, and its developer will automatically be changed to you."

"This represents that I have given up a laying hen that can always lay eggs, and given up the magic stones that might pour in continuously in the future."

"Since you are clear about all this in your heart, do you still want to sell it?"

"Mentor, I had already thought it through very clearly before coming. Since I have made this decision, I have no reason to give it up."

"Compared to the upcoming brand-new Otherworld operation, this Potion formula is merely an extremely trivial matter."

Isolde looked at the flame named ambition emerging from Byron's eyes and nodded inwardly.

Seeing this flame even reminded her of herself when she had just participated in the plane Great Expedition.

At that time, she was also like this, infinitely anticipating the future, full of confidence, and believing that she was the person who could lead the entire Wizard World forward!

Of course, until now, she still thought so.

Moreover, after seeing this flame in Byron's eyes, Isolde felt even more satisfied with Byron in her heart.

Although the previous Byron was gentle, modest, respectful, and a Genius, these things, although looking very good, might even allow him to walk very far on the path of a Wizard.

But conversely, these things can also be said to be overly cautious and timid...

That kind of Byron was like a mouse that had mistakenly entered an unfamiliar world, being cautious about everything, completely unlike a Wizard.

However, regarding this, Isolde could also understand and comprehend why Byron would be like this.

After all, leaving behind the familiar world and past aristocratic life, and being forced to enter the Wizard World, directly and violently shattered his worldview of over a decade.

Placed on a child in his teens, the impact brought by these things was bound to be enormous.

However, at this moment, this extra flame named ambition in Byron's eyes also marked that he had truly begun to transform toward becoming a mature Wizard.

However, satisfaction aside, business was business.

She couldn't harm her own interests just because she was satisfied with Byron.
