Chapter 151 Will I marry into your family?
Mona Ant Farm Cottage.

Ivan had been back in his dormitory for most of the day and had just finished sorting out the gains and losses of this mission. There were some minor problems during the mission, such as the limited types of powerful spells, which were only the Hand of Black Magic and the Thorn Jungle.

What was more was the gain. He successfully completed the goal of this trip, obtained an extra portion of premium Alva Water, unexpectedly broke through the Great Knight, and gained the friendship of a wizard and a re-sealing scroll.

The benefits far outweighed the problems, making him very satisfied with this mission.

As he thought about it, his thoughts gradually shifted to the issue of becoming a wizard.

"If you sign a contract with the academy, it means a 40% chance of success in promotion."

"Great Knight, add 10%."

"The extra two portions of Alva Water count as 10%."

"That's equivalent to a 60% success rate."

He did not hesitate at all about whether to take three bottles of Alva Water. His talent was insufficient to begin with, and if he did not give it a try, his desire to become a formal wizard would be meaningless.

However, a 60% promotion success rate is far from enough, he needs to think of more ways.

"The way of chivalry has reached a dead end," he sighed.

He practiced the 'Eyes of the Bat' breathing method, which he found behind the plaque of Old Orr's Clinic. There were only methods for the squire and knight levels, but no method for the great knight stage, let alone the path after the great knight.

Previously, he had read a large number of books about knights in the library and Came's reading room, and knew that there was an essential difference between the Grand Knight realm and the Knight level.

According to the horizontal comparison summarized by the wizard himself, the Grand Knight is actually equivalent to a first-level wizard, so the Grand Knight is qualified to be the wizard's guard, just like Captain Caleb on the ship.

If you think about it carefully, it is actually true. The Great Knight's Dou Qi Slash has at least ten scales and at most twenty scales. Coupled with good defensive capabilities and long-lasting combat endurance, it is indeed capable of bringing some danger to formal wizards.

This is the case for the Grand Knight, not to mention the Legendary Knight above the Grand Knight. This also means that the value of the breathing method practiced from the Grand Knight to the Legendary Knight increases, and it will not be as common as the knight-level breathing methods and secret medicines.

Ivan guessed that this was the reason why most breathing techniques only reached the knight level.

"Forget it. There is no need to spend so much energy on the Great Knight's Breathing Method and secret medicine for now."

Things have their priorities. The most important thing right now is to increase the success rate of promotion. He cannot spend too much time on things that are irrelevant or have little effect.

The insect breathing method can continue to be studied. This is a problem that has already been found a clue and should not require much effort.

"The Hand of the Dark Devil and the Rune Witch Formation are worth exploring. They are both spiritual energies and may be used for advancement."

He murmured, in fact, he had thought of this question before.

Randall once said that there are only a few ways to help become a formal wizard: potions, rune arrays, contracts, and alien energy.

As for potions, the most powerful and versatile was the Water of Alva, and he had acquired three of them, which was his limit.

The other three aspects are usually unsought after, or not as universal as the Water of Alva.

In a word, resources are extremely limited.

Maybe the previous apprentice had used it to become a wizard, and the resource was gone, or maybe using the resource contained a high risk, and the apprentice went through a long period of research and found a method that suited him.

When others want to use it, they also need to conduct in-depth research and take great risks.

In this area, there are only a few larger wizarding families. Of course, there are deep-seated reasons for this. The reason lies in the uncertainty of apprentices' promotion to wizards. It is difficult to increase the success rate of promotion, and the number of people who become wizards among the younger generation is scarce.

Without enough wizards, there is no wizarding family.

On the contrary, if there is a way to steadily increase the promotion rate, it will not be difficult to develop a wizard family or force.

For apprentices, how to improve the success rate of promotion is a big issue. In addition to the Water of Alva, they need to put in a lot of effort to study and find a method that suits them. Ivan plans to explore the rune magic array corresponding to the Water of Black Magic.

"The other original stone arrays outside Swamp Forest City should have been left to the enchantment group. You can ask Heidi about it. I don't know if you can apply to see it."

"I need to find Orrick and talk to the Richie family behind him to see what I can offer and what I need to pay. I'm afraid others will not appreciate my third-rate talent."

At present, these are the only two methods he can find. If he can achieve results in both methods, the success rate of promotion will be about 80%. If he reaches 80%, he can give it a try.

Thinking that someone had an 80% success rate from the beginning, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He shook his head to get rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind. It was not his character to feel sorry for himself.

"Dong dong dong."

"Ivan, are you there?"

There was a knock on the door, and Ivan opened it and saw it was Cam.

"I met that annoying guy, and he said that you went to the Flash Vortex Secret Realm together. You are really in the spotlight this time. Is it true?" Cam asked impatiently after entering the house.

"Yes, we participated in the same mission and wiped out a group of foreign enemies. In the end, the Academy Alliance gave us extra rewards." Ivan nodded and roughly explained the context of the incident. The specific details needed to be kept confidential.

"That's great." Came's eyes were full of envy, and she wished she could also participate in the battle to protect the secret realm.

Hearing his words, Ivan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Only Cam could say that.

Today, Came's strength is almost reaching the third-level limit. He has no shortage of resources, so it is normal for his strength to improve rapidly.

Ivan understood what Walban had said. They were not the same kind of people as us. He and Carme were indeed not the same kind of people. However, he had realized this from the beginning. "Carme, this is not a fun thing. We went there for the resources."

"I know." Seeing his serious expression, Came scratched his head and then whispered, "Well, I really don't need to look for resources everywhere. I can't understand your feelings."

"It's not that serious. You can see I'm fine."

Ivan waved his hands casually. Why was he saying this to Cam? He was really influenced by Walban.

"Ivan, I want to ask you something. Do you want to marry into our family?" Cam asked suddenly.

"Knot what?"

"Just marry into the Lydia family. You have such a good aptitude for study and many talents. Joining the Lydia family is a good choice. This way you don't have to look for resources everywhere." The more Came talked, the more she felt that it was a good idea.

He promised solemnly: "Believe me, I can go to my grandmother and mother, introduce you to them, and let you marry into Lydia's family."

"Could it be your sister?" Ivan asked subconsciously.

"You like my sister, it's not impossible." Came was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up, her best friend and her sister getting married, it seemed like a good idea. "I have to go back and ask, you know Heidi, she has a better idea than me."

Seeing him getting up to leave, Ivan quickly stopped him and asked him to sit back in his chair.

"That's not what I meant. Actually, Heidi and I are not familiar with each other."

"You said the same thing last time, but I didn't believe it."

"Excuse me, if, I say if, I marry someone from your family, what will be the surname of my child in the future?"

"Lydiya, what a great surname! I am just like that."

Ivan thought to himself that it was true. The marriage that Came mentioned was equivalent to marrying into the family. It was normal that he didn't realize the difference. It was probably the same way that his grandfather and father joined Lydia's family, but his grandmother and mother were in charge of Lydia's family.

"Cam, I prefer to work hard on my own. I think you should understand that."

"Well, if you change your mind, you can come to me and I'll ask Heidi for you."

Seeing him say that, Came had a look of regret on her face, but she didn't force anything, she just emphasized it with lingering thoughts.

The two discussed runes and enchantments for a while. Currently, Came's line completion rate is 88%, and Ivan's is 96%. The completion rate becomes more and more difficult as time goes by, which can be described as one step at a time.

……

A wizard's spire.

Not long after Walban returned to the academy, he was summoned by his mentor Andaya. Andaya wanted to know what happened in the secret realm, so Walban could only tell what he could and narrate what happened.

"Blood Hunter, remember that the information has been sealed. It's from someone quite impressive."

"Fortunately, Ivan acted in time and prevented the blood hunter from growing. Otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable." Wolfan continued.

"A spell that exceeds the limits of an apprentice?"

"Correct."

"Based on the prototype of the wizard's hand, combined with runes and rune wizard array disk?"

"Yes."

Andaya asked a question and Wolfan answered it.

Walban was not the only one who saw this. He was close by and could see it more clearly. He was amazed by this method.

After listening to this, Wizard Andaya fell into deep thought.

After a pause, Walban suggested, "Teacher, I think we can further win over Ivan. He is a third-class talent and is in urgent need of promotion resources. Now is a good time. He will be grateful to us."

Andaya looked at him and shook her head slowly.

"Teacher, I dare to ask, Ivan is indeed talented and capable, why don't you take the opportunity to win him over?" Wolfan still wanted to fight for Ivan. In his opinion, as long as he could become a formal wizard, everything else was not important. There was plenty of time to slowly solve it.

What's more, Ivan and they were supposed to be on the same side, and such a person could not be pried away by someone from a wizard family.

"It seems like you have a good relationship." Andaya said.

Wolfan remained silent. He asked himself whether his personal relationship would affect his work, but he could not prove it.

"You said that he is a man of talent and pride. So let's wait and see. When he hits a wall everywhere, we can lend a helping hand. This way, he will be more grateful to us and more willing to work for us."

Andaya expressed her thoughts. It is not an easy thing for an apprentice with third-rate talent to become a formal wizard. He has plenty of time to persevere and endure until he becomes a mess.

Walban opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

On the one hand, he had an inexplicable feeling that Ivan might not need much time, as he was good at breaking his own cognition. On the other hand, once Ivan showed his disadvantage, the conditions here would become very harsh, which was not what he wanted to see.

But he is just an apprentice now and cannot influence his mentor's decision.
