Chapter 159 Threats and Decisions

Ivan's eyes became sharp. He glanced around and found no suspicious figures. He jumped directly onto the roof of the dormitory, but also found nothing else.

He knew that the person who delivered the letter might not be a real person, and if the other party wanted to hide, he would naturally be able to avoid his tracking.

"I didn't expect Toins to have accomplices in the academy. I'm afraid he conveyed the message in this way just to intimidate me."

The tracking method didn't work, and Ivan returned to his dormitory. He understood the inner meaning of Toins's words, which was 'It's useless for you to hide in the college.'

When I opened the letter, I found a piece of parchment inside with a light blue mark on it.

Just as he spread out the parchment, a light blue mark pattern turned into light smoke and flew over, landing precisely on the seal of the demon's curse, so fast that there was no time to avoid it.

In terms of curses, Toins has made obvious progress.

"This amount of curse power is not even enough for the Swift Wood Silkworm." Ivan didn't care. Not to mention this amount of curse power, even if it was ten times as powerful, it wouldn't be enough to cause any waves.

He was more concerned about his failure to dodge.

The power difference between an apprentice and a wizard is really a chasm that is difficult to cross. No matter how poor Toins is, he is not someone that an apprentice like him can underestimate. The only one who can fight against a wizard is another wizard.

"Ivan, I am glad to receive your letter. Do you still remember your guide? Back then, you came to the island ignorantly and embarked on the path of wizards under my earnest expectations. What a peaceful and hopeful life it was."

"Do you still remember your hometown far away? Feiyu Port is a beautiful town, and your territory, Sanggu, is also a beautiful place with bright mountains and beautiful scenery. Under the hard work of your father, Mr. Reed, your brother, and your wife, Sanggu is now full of mulberry trees."

'Evan, I have found a way to completely solve the curse. I sincerely invite you to explore the secret realm with me. July 7th, Nichols Lake. I look forward to our long-awaited meeting.'

'Your guide - Toins.'

After reading the contents of the letter, Ivan's face became a little gloomy.

Toines is still so hypocritical. The letter seems to be a casual chat, but his words are threats.

Just think about it, the other party risked being exposed to invite himself as an apprentice, it must be not just as simple as exploring a secret place.

There is still more than half a month until July 4th, so I have to think and prepare carefully. The other party has put so much effort into it, and I must not let him down.

After thinking for a moment, Ivan made a decision.

An hour later, Ivan came to the three-story round tower, found his mentor Randall, and handed him the letter.

"I didn't have much contact with Toins before. I only knew that he was a key member of the hunting team. He was nearly a hundred years older than me and made a lot of contributions to the academy. It's amazing that such an old wizard has fallen."

"What are you going to do?"

Randall did not take on too much, but the fierce aura emanating from him showed his determination.

Ivan said, "I want you to help me identify a rune array first."

"where?"

"Enchanting Workshop."

Randall readily agreed to his disciple's request.

Afterwards, the two came to the enchanting workshop, the workshop that temporarily belonged to Ivan. The rune array that Ivan had just carved was placed on the ground.

"This formation has two functions. One is to transform pure spiritual energy, and the other is to derive the power of confinement from spiritual energy. When you advance, you can use the power of confinement to fight against the power of confinement. If it doesn't work, the spiritual energy will serve as a backup force."

After Ivan introduced the functions of the formation to his instructor, he casually activated the rune array on the stone platform, and the formation began to operate smoothly.

After a while, black wind blew in the workshop.

At Randall's signal, the black wind transformed from spiritual energy blew all over his bear-like body. As a wizard, he could still feel the mental depression, which would undoubtedly affect the performance of his strength.

If he were in an environment filled with black wind, his strength would probably be reduced by half or even more.

You have to know that he is a senior wizard and has been a formal wizard for a long time.

I didn't expect that my disciple could achieve this.

"Okay."

The black wind continued to blow for a while. When Ivan saw Randall waving his hand, he controlled the formation to stop, and the wind in the room quickly died down.

Ivan stared at Randall closely, wanting to hear what his mentor would say and whether such a rune array could be used in the wizard's promotion.

"What is the name of this formation?" Randall asked after pondering for a moment.

"It hasn't been named yet. How about calling it 'Black Magic Wind Array'?" Ivan thought for a moment and came up with a name that echoed 'Hand of the Black Magic'.

"Ivan, your idea is correct and thoughtful. There is no problem with the effect of the formation. As a wizard and enchanter, I think your Black Magic Wind Formation is a success." Randall gave his evaluation solemnly.

"I feel relieved to hear you say that." Ivan breathed a sigh of relief.

"Have you noticed that if the effect of the formation is expanded, it can increase the success rate of promotion by more than 10%?" Randall hinted.

"Please rest assured, I will weigh the required strength and ensure that the Black Magic Wind Array is within an absolutely controllable range." Ivan has also considered this issue. He would rather reduce the effect of the array than to ensure that it does not get out of control.

Randall nodded slightly, very satisfied with this statement.

"There's nothing else to say. Remember not to reveal it to anyone," Randall warned.

It is not difficult to find that being considered as an alternative plan is actually very interesting. If someone ignores it and does not consider the major hidden dangers after promotion.

The chance of promotion would be greatly increased if the spiritual energy that had been tempered was directly used. There were many such people around, such as apprentices who had no hope of promotion. Even if the final limit was only a first-level wizard, even if the process was extremely dangerous, there would still be people willing to fight to the death.

Once the effects of the Black Magic Wind Array spread, it would be a huge trouble for Ivan.

"I understand." Ivan certainly understood the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure, "However, I am prepared to make a deal with the Lydia family in exchange for a 10% chance of success in promotion."

In fact, the increased probability of promotion is just an estimate. No one would think it is too high, but they are afraid of failing like Wayne.

"Then simplify it and make it less conspicuous. When you become a wizard, it will be much less troublesome."

"Teacher, I hope you can accompany me." Ivan requested again. The wizard Madeline was not easy to deal with.

"Of course, no problem." Randall did not refuse. He was also worried that his disciple would be fooled. "So, you decided to start the wizard promotion in the next few days?"

"That's right. It's time to prepare so much and for so long." Ivan said truthfully. Before meeting Toins, he planned to become a wizard first and give the other party a surprise.

Of course he will have to pay the price for daring to threaten me like this. Toins no longer cares about the rules of the wizarding world, and keeping him around will always be a hidden danger.

"Teacher, I believe you can succeed. You are the most talented disciple I have ever accepted. There is no reason for you to fail, right?" Looking at the talented disciple in front of him, Randall gave his blessings.

"You're right."

The master and disciple smiled at each other.

Later, under Randall's guidance, Ivan made an encrypted version of the simplified Black Magic Wind Array and prepared to use this version for trading.

Two days later.

The experimental area, a strictly confidential test range.

This was rented by Randall. He chose this place instead of the Enchanting Workshop because he didn't want to trade on someone else's territory. It would be inconvenient to formally negotiate terms. Since this is related to promotion, he cannot be too cautious.

Master Ivan and his apprentice didn't have to wait long. Madeline arrived as promised with Heidi and Camille, but no one else.

"Wizard Randall, are you going to allow your disciples to act like this?" Madeline's first words were very rude.

"Wizard Madeline, seeing is believing. You will know if it is nonsense after seeing it. I believe that the black magic wind formation developed by my disciple will not disappoint you. I am just afraid that you are not sincere. Then I can only take him to find other people."

As a first-level wizard, Randall would naturally not be affected by her words.

"I hope you won't waste my time." Madeline said undeniably.

"Ivan, is this the rune magic array you discovered? What's the story behind your naming it 'Black Magic Wind Array'? It's a good name, very impressive."

As soon as the two wizards reached a consensus, Came ran forward impatiently, staring at the magic circle on the stone platform and asking questions.

Seeing this, Madeline rolled her eyes implicitly. She had no idea what to do with this silly son.

"It's just a rune array. As for the name, you'll understand after I activate the array." Ivan gestured to the two wizards. Seeing that they had no objection, he activated the array in front of them.

After a while, the formation completed the transformation of magic stone water into spiritual energy, and spiritual energy into black wind.

The black wind blew over everyone.

"This is the power controlled by that person, and you actually restored it." Heidi recognized it at a glance. This was the Black Wind who trapped her and others in the magic stone mine.

"Yes and no. There is some difference. It used more than just the power of the magic stone."

"Okay, let me take a look." Madeline took over the control of the formation forcefully.

Ivan did not object to this.

Compared to Randall, Madeline's enchantment attainments are higher, these are the original words of the instructor. He also said that it would be more reliable to let Madeline take a look.

"How is it? Do you like it, Wizard Madeline?" Randall asked with a smile after a while.

"Okay, I agree to the exchange." Madeline nodded in approval.

Ivan was secretly delighted. The fact that the simplified version could impress someone with such profound attainments in enchantment was enough to show how extraordinary the Black Magic Wind Array was.

"Ewen Marichatton."

"You say."

"Are you interested in marrying into the Lydia family? You can get the full support of the Lydia family."

Hearing Madeline's words, Ivan subconsciously glanced at Camille next to him.

"I didn't say that." Came waved his hands quickly. He was a sensible person and knew what not to say. "But, Ivan, you can really consider Heidi. Heidi even spoke for you before."

“——”

Ivan looked at him speechlessly, wondering if this guy did it on purpose.

If looks could hit people, Cam would have been beaten all over by the guys except Randall.

"Sorry, I didn't have any other ideas before I became a wizard."

"I see. That's a pity."

Two for one, Madeline took out a lot of good things. At Randall's suggestion, Ivan took a fancy to a spell scroll called "Rose Chain".
