Chapter 784
Yuder greeted Alik with a warm smile, encountering him after a long separation. Alik, his face slightly worn, chuckled as he introduced his modest, temporary research space established in the southern branch.
"Who would have thought you'd offer me not just one, but two rooms? Therefore, one is for Mage Hellem, and the other for myself. Ah, a research lab of my own! Temporary it may be, but it feels like a dream!"
"Have you never had a lab of your own before?"
"Indeed, it's not because I lacked money or my master was stingy. It's due to the traditions among mages!"
According to Alik, mages under a master's tutelage rarely had the opportunity to have their own labs until they gained recognition or independence from their master. If the master was the root, the apprentice was like a branch extending from it, as Yuder attentively listened, picking up on a particular word in the lengthy explanation.
"The relationship between a direct master and apprentice among mages is considered special, different from just being part of the same alliance or organization. In the mages’ terms... um, like a 'Spiritual father,' so to speak."
'Spiritual father' – a term used to refer to the Archmage Luma in the diary of the First Duke Tain. It was surprising to hear it still in use, thinking it a phrase of the old times.
