Chapter 133 The Beginning of Immortality
Chapter 133 The Beginning of Immortality
Mona Ant Farm Cottage.
This is the third day since Ivan returned to the academy from the Kanda Magic Stone Mine.
The mission reward has arrived. Just as Heidi said, I received 200 credits and 300 magic stones from the academy.
In addition, they had previously killed a number of demonized beasts and exchanged the collected materials for some magic stones. He obtained an additional sixty or so low-grade magic stones.
Yesterday he met his mentor Randall and repaid the 260 magic stones he had previously borrowed from the insect nest.
Randall praised him, obviously having heard what Gina had said about what happened.
Now, with the remaining 33 credits, Ivan has a total of 233 credits, and all his original magic stones have been used on the original stone array. There are only newly acquired magic stones, 100 low-grade magic stones, and 36 medium-grade magic stones.
After this trip, in addition to the credits and magic stones gained, there were also experience points gained on the academic master panel.
[Energy Particle Science: Lv3 (16/300)]
Energy particle science was upgraded to a level 3 subject, thanks to the study of spells and the comprehension of the original stone array.
The knowledge of runes and enchantments increased by nearly two hundred points, also benefiting from the comprehension of the original stone array.
Meditation skills have been growing steadily, and have recently increased by dozens of points, with more than half of the level 2 experience points.
On the academic master's panel, you can also see the remaining light of wisdom: four portions of level 3, one portion of level 5, and two portions of level 4 great wisdom light. This is his foundation that he will not use easily.
His eyes flashed slightly, and the attribute panel appeared.
Strength: 3.9, Agility: 5.1, Constitution: 4.9, Spirit: 8.4
"The 15th spiritual level is the basic threshold for becoming a formal wizard. We are still a long way from that."
On the way back, their relationship became much more harmonious. Ivan specifically mentioned the topic of wizard promotion, and only then did he realize that it was extremely difficult to go from a third-class apprentice to a formal wizard.
The probability of promotion to a formal wizard is related to the apprentice's qualifications. Those with fifth-level talent have about 8% promotion success rate, fourth-level talent have 6% success rate, third-level talent about 4%, second-level talent about 2%, and first-level talent has very little hope.
If one relies solely on one's own qualifications to be promoted directly, even if one is a fifth-level talented apprentice, there is no guarantee that one will succeed.
Secondly, the apprentice’s first promotion success rate is often the highest. If they fail the first time and try to become a formal wizard the second time, the success rate will drop significantly. According to statistics, the number of people who succeed in the third promotion is less than 1%.
Everyone will try their best to think of ways to increase the success rate of their first promotion and ensure that they can become an official wizard in one fell swoop.
This is the reason why many apprentices remain at the third-level stage and are reluctant to choose promotion.
"Official wizards enjoy a lifespan of around 300 years. This is a tempting change."
What surprised him even more was another aspect of the wizards. According to Heidi, a first-level wizard would have a lifespan of 300 years, and second- and third-level wizards would have even longer lifespans, which would increase with their strength.
This is the path to immortality, something that even the First Emperor sought but could not obtain.
Thinking of this, Ivan felt a sense of pride in his heart, and he would definitely make up for the regrets of his ancestors.
First of all, you have to take the first step, become a formal wizard, and truly embark on the path of immortality.
However, there is no such saying in the way of knight training. There is not much difference in the lifespan between a powerful knight and an ordinary person.
He is now a third-class apprentice, and although it seems a long way off from being promoted to a wizard, it actually won't take long.
This time he happened to harvest a certain number of medium-level magic stones, which is also a difficult-to-obtain potion material. He has already made a plan and decided to refine medium-level magic stone water himself.
As for prescriptions, you can either buy them from the college sales office or derive them yourself.
He had inquired about the former last time. A third-class mental power recipe required 300 credits, plus a certain number of magic stones, and he did not have enough credits at the moment. The latter was very difficult. It was not easy to refine a mental power potion, let alone derive a new recipe from scratch. It felt like it was not worth it.
In fact, he had another choice, which was to buy mental power potions directly from the academy. Each potion cost 150 credits, so his credits could only buy one third-grade potion.
"Dong dong dong."
There was an abrupt knock on the door, interrupting his thoughts.
Standing outside the door was Cam, whom he hadn't seen for many days. Cam looked at him with a melancholy look on her face.
"Good morning, Cam." "Good morning, Ivan."
Ivan welcomed him into the house and they sat down separately.
As soon as Came sat down, she said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't know my sister would do that, it was Heidi Lydia. Because I didn't explain the reason to her clearly, you were in such great danger. You almost--"
Ivan waved his hand: "It's okay, it's just a normal task. Someone needs to complete it. As a member of the enchantment team, it's normal for it to be my turn."
This mission was indeed quite dangerous. Three apprentices died, but in the end it was safe and sound and the gains were not small. Besides, it was not Cam's original intention, so there was no need to worry too much about it.
"No, this is different. For a new apprentice, the dangers inherent in such a mission are multiplied."
"I did a good job, didn't I?"
Hearing what he said, Came nodded seriously: "Yes, I heard from my sister, Ivan, you are really amazing. I was convinced that I lost to you last time."
When it comes to enchantment, Camille knows clearly that she is far inferior to her sister. When they were in the same predicament, even her sister was helpless, but Ivan was able to figure out a solution on the spot and finally succeeded in breaking the predicament.
What an amazing talent!
Why would he be unwilling to admit defeat? Now all he has is admiration and praise, and only people like him can surpass him.
Ivan laughed and said, "Haha, it just happened to be the right time."
The two continued to chat for a while. Came wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
Ivan suddenly asked curiously: "Last time - did you really cry?"
"Crying? Who?" Came's body froze, and she immediately retorted: "No, how could it be possible? Absolutely not."
Ivan said, "Then Heidi - that's right, you are so old now, you will know that you won't cry if you think about it." He pretended to have spoken out of turn and overturned his own words.
"My sister said that? Great, she actually said bad things about me behind my back."
When Came heard this, her face turned red, and she didn't know whether she was embarrassed or angry. She hurriedly said goodbye, and it seemed that she wanted to go back to settle the score.
Ivan watched and smiled secretly in his heart. All the emotions on Cam's face were written all over. It was hard to imagine that he was already a wizard apprentice with outstanding strength.
When she reached the door, Came stopped abruptly.
He turned around and said expectantly and anxiously, "Ivan, I don't mean anything else. I know you may not care, but I still want to ask, can I do something for you? Otherwise, I will always feel bad and I won't be able to show up in front of you in the future."
"Camille, it's over."
"Then I will avoid places where you appear from now on."
The two looked at each other, and Ivan could see his seriousness and stubbornness.
"Ivan, then--then I'm leaving." Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Camille lowered her head in frustration and prepared to leave.
"and many more."
"Ivan, just tell me, as long as I can do it." Came looked up at him anxiously.
Seeing him like this, Ivan's only grudge suddenly disappeared. After thinking for a while, he said, "Okay, how about finding me a set of knight-level universal breathing secret medicine, or a secret medicine prescription?"
"Is that just it?"
"That's all I ask, you can do it."
"Okay, you wait."
Came nodded heavily and left the dormitory with ease.
Looking at the departing figure, Ivan shook his head slightly. He was not a greedy person, so he would not make any excessive demands. In fact, this request should be able to be fulfilled by Orrick in the pharmacy, so it would not be difficult for Cam.
