Chapter 160 Wizard Promotion
Chapter 160 Wizard Promotion
After completing the transaction with Wizard Madeline in the morning, Ivan appeared in front of the vice-president's office in the afternoon, ready to sign a long-term contract with the college.
You can't just meet the vice president whenever you want. You need to be notified by the person sitting outside. Ivan stepped forward and gave his name: "I'm Ivan Marichatton, an apprentice in the enchantment group. I applied two days ago."
"Wait a moment."
A young girl said that she should be the maid of the vice-president and she was wearing a maid outfit.
Ivan thought he would have to wait a long time, but he was allowed in after only seven or eight minutes.
This is not an ordinary office. The Ant-Man statues, alien creature specimens, and strange paintings inside are eye-catching. Sitting behind the large desk is a plump, silver-haired old woman wearing a tile-blue wizard robe made of exquisite material, giving people a feeling of having gone through time.
She looked kind and benevolent.
Doris Lydia is one of the vice-presidents of Mona Ant Lodge and the leader of the enchantment team.
As the vice-president of the academy, although he looks old and frail, his strength is definitely one of the best. Ivan doesn't know his specific level of strength. Before becoming a wizard, he should not ask about wizards' affairs. This is what Cody taught him.
It is worth mentioning that Doris should also be Cam’s grandmother.
"Wan'an, Dean Lydia."
"Evan Marichatton, I heard Came mention you, saying that you are his good friend."
"Camille is indeed a very good friend."
"I know why you're here. I'm sure you can't wait any longer. According to the rules of the academy, all apprentices need to sign a contract."
The contract was standard, and after taking it, Ivan simply glanced at it.
The contract term is 100 years.
It was not the 120 years that Randall said. He looked at it a few more times in surprise.
"I heard from Wizard Madeline that the black magic wind formation you researched is pretty good. In addition, the fact that you have grown to your current level of strength in such a short period of time is enough to prove that you are a gifted and talented student. I have used the authority of the Vice Dean to reduce the contract period by 20 years. I hope that after you become a wizard, you can contribute well to the academy."
Doris guessed what he was confused about and explained it leisurely.
So that's how it is. Madeline seems unapproachable on the surface, but once you get her approval, she is quite easy to talk to.
On the other hand, it also shows that the value of the Black Magic Wind Array is indeed good, and even Lydia's family is willing to do it a favor.
"Troubling you."
Ivan continued reading. The contract stipulated the tasks of the academy, most of which were things to do after becoming a wizard. He quickly signed his name, leaving his own aura and marking his mental power.
He pushed the contract towards the inside of the desk.
The contract fell on the table, and the words on it suddenly burst into flames, which merged into one piece and then went out after a few seconds.
The content of the contract is still there, but the color is lighter.
Ivan only felt his heart sink slightly, and then he returned to normal and didn't notice anything different.
"Okay, where's your crystal ball?"
Doris put the contract into a wooden box, solemnly placed it in the cabinet behind her, turned around and said.
Ivan handed over his crystal ball.
"It contains some valuable experience on promotion, which will be helpful to you." Doris took out another crystal ball, transferred the pre-stored information into his crystal ball, and handed it back to him.
Ivan understood that this was a detailed guide for wizard advancement, which included various considerations for breaking through the bottleneck of becoming a formal wizard. It was the result of the hard work of many wizards in the academy.
"Your meditation method is 'Blackbeard Melody', and the corresponding defense spell is 'Flower and Tree Shield'. You can choose it or another spell. What is your decision?"
"I choose the Flower and Wood Shield."
Ivan directly chose the defensive spell corresponding to the Blackbeard Movement. There was no need to hesitate about this. Choosing other Blackbeard Crowns would have been a waste of preparation.
It is reported that there are many meditation methods in the academy, such as Blackbeard Music, Water Eclipse, Tidal Land Chapter, Thunder and Water Fiber, etc., each with its own focus. Blackbeard Music is conducive to becoming an insect controller and is not very popular there.
Doris took out a spell book from the drawer and it fell lightly in front of him.
Next came three bottles of Alva Water, of superior, medium and inferior quality. The one given by the academy was the medium quality Alva Water, and the others were what he obtained in the Flash Vortex Secret Realm last time.
"Well, Ivan, I wish you all the best."
"Thank you. If you have no other instructions, I will take my leave."
Back in the dormitory, Ivan first received the detailed promotion guide. Although he had heard a lot from Randall, this well-organized guide still benefited him a lot.
The next day, Ivan came to the three-story round tower.
"Teacher, I am sorry to trouble you again."
"Stop talking nonsense. I'm waiting for you to fight for my reputation. I haven't produced a wizard yet. People often talk about me. It's not a good thing for me, the mentor. I don't deserve the title of the academy's number one insect controller."
Ivan knew that his mentor said this on purpose. How could a wizard care about the gossip of others? He owed his mentor many things one after another, and he would find a chance to repay him when he became a wizard.
"Don't think too much, just listen carefully. I will only explain it once." Randall asked him to come because he was going to give him extra lessons, and the course content was "Flower and Tree Shield".
Randall had no idea how many years he had spent immersing himself in the first-level spell, Flower and Wood Shield, and had already mastered it to perfection. Teaching him was a piece of cake for him.
In the next three days, one taught carefully and the other learned sincerely. With Ivan's additional use of a level 5 light of wisdom, he quickly mastered every aspect of the Flower and Wood Shield and simulated it countless times during this period.
……
It was a sunny day and Ivan came to the place in the academy where apprentices were promoted to wizards.
Located in the teaching area, there is a spacious secret room that can ensure that those who are promoted will not be disturbed. Unless the promoted apprentice does not come out for too long, more than two days beyond the normal time limit, the secret room can only be opened from the inside, giving the apprentice enough sense of security.
Ordinary apprentices usually come here to be promoted, but some people have other choices. Most of these people are from wizard families.
"Brother, I wish you success in becoming a first-level wizard."
"Lend your auspicious words."
Ivan gestured to the energetic senior schoolmate who led him here, and walked straight into the secret room deep inside. Behind him followed two shadow ant servants holding boxes.
After entering, he smelled a special scent that made people calm down. This was a place that made people concentrate on meditation.
The entire secret room was shockingly simple and empty, with only a futon in the middle of the room.
“Just put the things on the ground.”
After he gave two magic stones to each of them, the shadow ant servants put down several boxes of raw materials and left the secret room without saying anything.
The door of the secret room was closed, isolating the inside into an undisturbed little world.
Ivan checked around before taking the cushion away. He then skillfully used the materials in the box to cast a stone platform. He then picked up a pen and drew lines, re-carving out a black magic wind formation.
After the Black Magic Wind Array is completed, place the medium magic stone water and magic crystal water according to their respective positions.
He placed the cushion he had just taken away on the left side of the Black Magic Wind Array. There happened to be a newly cast position in this place that could accommodate a cushion, and there were simple line patterns around it that spread from the Black Magic Wind Array.
At the critical moment of being promoted to a wizard, Ivan dared not sit carelessly in the center of the formation, lest it affect the effectiveness of other means. These were all issues that needed to be properly considered.
There is only one chance, and there is no room for any negligence.
After the Black Magic Wind Array was adjusted, the effect would be worse when sitting next to it. The potion was replaced with medium magic stone water, and in his opinion, the effect was just right.
"Dark Magic Wind Formation, the promotion rate is 80%."
"Rose Chain, 90%."
After Ivan sat down, he laid out the other things in order, including three bottles of Alva Water and the Rose Chain Scroll.
As for other means of increasing the rate of promotion, they are all inside and outside his body.
"Finally, there is the Light of Wisdom, which has a promotion rate of exactly 100%."
Now, he still has two level 6 lights of wisdom and two level 4 lights of great wisdom. Once the situation changes, he will abandon all other concerns and decisively use the light of wisdom, or even the light of great wisdom.
everything's ready.
This time, only success is allowed.
"Silkworm Queen, this time it's up to you and the little ones."
"Mumble."
After hearing Ivan's instructions, the Queen Silkworm's expression became serious for a rare time, and she nodded solemnly.
The Rose Chain is actually a special secret technique that can connect two creatures and share life force through the chain.
He has a level one Swiftwood Silkworm and three bottles of Alva Water that burn life force, so Randall suggested that he choose the Rose Chain. With the support of the Queen Silkworm's life force and he himself is a great knight, he can maximize the effect of the potion.
There is a prerequisite for using the Rose Chain, which is that the connected creatures must be willing to give up their life force. If there is even the slightest dissatisfaction, the Rose Chain will break.
'Power of Control'
Ten swift wood silkworms with the strongest vitality stepped out of the line, approached the silkworm, and merged back into its body like water.
The Queen Silkworm's body grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. In a few seconds, its body length expanded to three meters. It was white and plump, like a soft, patterned pillow.
"Mumble."
The Queen Silkworm chirps once to indicate that she is ready.
Ivan activated the scroll and a transparent chain emerged, bridging his own body and the Silkworm Queen's. Suddenly, a warm energy flowed into his body and his flesh and blood cheered.
"Very good, just keep this speed. Don't panic if something unexpected happens. Just keep watch with the little ones."
Seeing the Queen Silkworm nod, Ivan activated the black magic wind array on one side. The black wind slowly formed and floated towards him along the route that had been drawn in advance. Everything was normal.
He took a deep breath, picked up all the Alva water and drank it in one gulp. The temperature in his body began to rise rapidly. He felt as if there was a volcano hidden in his body and the volcanic magma began to erupt.
No wonder Randall said that after taking the Water of Alva, most of the body's functions would stop functioning. This situation would burn up the life force, making it difficult for the body to maintain functioning, and would cause other medicines to fail to work.
At this anxious moment, Ivan has completely sunk his consciousness into the spiritual ocean. His spiritual power is now boiling, and his level of activity is eye-catching.
He had anticipated this, and with his control skills, which were among the best among the apprentices, his mental power quickly transformed into 40 meditation runes. All the meditation runes shook violently, and their power spread in all directions, as if issuing a provocation.
This move undoubtedly opened up some kind of entrance.
Silently, the surrounding space suddenly became dark and depressing, as if a punishment from heaven was approaching.
The feeling of oppression came from all directions, wrapping heavily around every inch of his body, instantly suppressing his entire spiritual ocean and causing the originally active spiritual power to quickly subside.
Ivan knew that the test of promotion had begun.
Chapter 2 will be posted in the evening.
