Chapter 454 Tanya
Chapter 454 Tanya
Everyone likes to listen to gossip to some extent, especially those around them, and Ivan is no exception.
At this moment, Gloria had no idea that the scholar from Dongdu University, who was always serious in front of her, had already strayed into other things.
"Wizard Ivan, I have a rather impertinent request."
"It's not my place to get involved in your affairs."
“I know, it’s a bit presumptuous—” Gloria stammered.
"Anyway, tell me what you want first, and I'll consider whether I can help you. But I have to state in advance that I have limited abilities and am often unable to do many things."
Ivan motioned for her to speak out first, but he had already said the ugly thing in advance.
As a friend, he would rather stand from Morris's perspective than from Gloria's, a friend of a friend.
Hearing the rejection implied in his words, Gloria didn't know how to start, and a hint of hesitation appeared on her face.
Seeing this, Ivan did not urge him.
"Morris, I think Morris must have been envious of you, Wizard Ivan, because you have a beautiful Qingqi woman who is good at brewing wine by your side. I know that Morris likes to drink, and this is very attractive to him."
As time passed, Gloria finally opened her thin lips and began to speak with some embarrassment.
Ivan blinked. It seemed that it was different from what he thought. He was not stupid enough to ask the other party if he wanted him to introduce a Qingqi girl to Morris.
"so what?"
“I want to learn the art of making fine wine.”
Gloria said what she hoped for.
So that's how it is. But what does this have to do with him? He, Ewen Marichatton, is not good at brewing wine.
"continue."
"Just now, when Morris said that Miss Danlin was a person with a great talent for brewing wine, Ivan's answer should have a hidden meaning, yes or no?"
Gloria paused for a second or two before continuing.
"How do you know? Danlin is indeed a clever and skillful person." Ivan said.
"But in your eyes, I don't think I have much talent in this aspect." Gloria looked at him steadily, as if she was sure of this. "Also, Morris said that both kinds of wine contain a certain flavor, and I agree with this statement.
Two different people, the same flavor. If I guess correctly, this must be your credit, Wizard Ivan."
"I'm not good at brewing wine, and I've never brewed any alcohol so far." Ivan had to admit that Gloria was very thoughtful and meticulous, far beyond the careless Morris.
"Wizard Ivan, you are very good at rune magic arrays." Gloria looked at him affirmatively, with a hint of meaning.
Ivan was speechless. The other party actually found out the truth through clues. This woman was really comparable to a skilled detective at certain times and in certain aspects.
"I understand what you mean, but as a well-known scholar, this wizard is also in a difficult position. Gloria, do you understand what I mean?"
"I am willing to pay you the due compensation and owe you a favor. Besides, I will never tell anyone about this." Gloria understood and immediately added her own conditions.
These conditions take all aspects into consideration.
"make a deal!"
Ivan was shocked that a third-level wizard was willing to do this for Morris. What else could he say? Of course he agreed.
If it really gets out, the worst that can happen is that people will make fun of it, which is actually harmless.
After the two reached an agreement, he handed the "Five Grain Fragrance Formation" to Gloria. Gloria was actually an enchanter, and her skills were not outstanding, but she was more than capable of setting up a primary formation with only 12 rune beams.
On the other hand, Gloria's family was wealthy and generous, and the things she brought out were worth far more than a primary formation. However, Ivan's vision had long been high, and he really looked down on ordinary things. In the end, he chose to exchange formations for formations, and got two incomplete formations from her to expand his knowledge base.
Gloria ended the transaction with great joy. After expressing her gratitude repeatedly, she took away all the drawings of the Five Grain Fragrance Array.
"It's better for wizards who come from big families to be able to justify themselves and not do their jobs properly."
Looking at her departing back, Ivan shook his head slightly and then put the matter behind him. He still had a lot of things to explore.
Compared with love, he is more interested in endless exploration and the pursuit of strength.
……
Time passed slowly, and Ivan paid close attention to the changes in the Empty Valley, but he never heard about Tanya's arrival until someone came to visit him together.
There were six people in total, including Morris, who winked at him as soon as he entered the round tower.
There are also Gloria, Tua, Glenini, and two unfamiliar female wizards. As expected, one of them must be the beautiful lady mentioned in Morris's news.
"Ivan, let me introduce you. This is Tanya Fitzroyd and Mara Gardner. As soon as they heard that you were in Hollow Valley, they asked me to bring them here to visit you. I hope I didn't disturb you?" Morris gestured and introduced with a smile.
"Tanya Fitzrod, I've heard of your great name for a long time. It was I who suggested visiting you." Tanya stepped forward and said confidently.
"Ivan Marichatton, I've heard a lot about you too." Ivan was a little confused, but he would not disrespect the other party. He greeted him politely.
To be honest, Morris once said that the other party was disabled by aliens, but there was no clue on the surface.
But he could sense that their strength levels were similar, both of them had entered the final stage of the third-level wizard stage. If they fought each other, this would definitely be a strong opponent.
"Wizard Ivan, you don't mind me calling you that, do you? Of course, you can also call me 'Tanya'."
"Nothing to mind."
"Wizard Ivan, I heard that you often stay in your own wizard tower and don't like to go out. What are you researching recently?" Tanya said in a familiar tone.
"Energy Tower." Ivan glanced at Morris and answered truthfully.
In fact, there is nothing to keep secret. His materials were collected from Kongliu Valley, and Morris collected them on his behalf. Many people know about this.
Seeing that Tanya was interested in watching, he simply took the group to his own experimental site.
In the experimental field, Ivan and Tanya had a good exchange of ideas about energy gathering.
In the end, he had to admit that the famous Tanya possessed a vast knowledge base, both in terms of enchantment and spatial energy.
It is just as the saying goes, there is no false reputation under a great name.
The two of them had a great conversation, and few others could get a word in.
Not long after, Tanya and the others left the round tower, and Morris stayed for a while.
"What do you mean?"
"what do you mean?"
"I said why did Tanya come to my place?"
"You are both rare geniuses in the wizarding world. It is normal for you to admire each other. She wants to get to know you."
Morris quickly chased after him, but his answer obviously could not resolve Ivan's doubts.
Ivan always felt that Tanya had some agenda and that she didn't just want to get to know him. Or maybe it was because he never minded assuming the worst of others.
In addition, he could vaguely sense that Mara Gardner, who had been silent, seemed to have some inexplicable hostility towards him.
