Chapter 197 Decision and Bad News
Chapter 197 Decision and Bad News
Ivan's heart sank when he heard what Dondor said.
When he developed the Black Magic Wind Beam Array, he had two plans. The first plan was to directly use the spiritual energy refined by the array and forcibly mix it into the mental power to help become a formal wizard. However, this would cause the mental power to be impure and difficult to eliminate.
He considered it as an alternative plan.
It is undeniable that this is a practical plan. Once operated properly, it is very likely to ensure that an apprentice can become a wizard, although the upper limit is a first-level wizard.
When he first traded with Lydia's family, he simplified and modified the Black Magic Wind Beam to conceal this fact. Later, when he became an official wizard, he further concealed it to ensure that no one would notice the clues.
Unexpectedly, it was noticed by other people, but they were not from Lydia's family.
"Have it?"
"Wizard Ivan, your words are meaningless. Since we are here, we are fully confident that the information is accurate. Now that we are the only ones who know the information, everything can be discussed."
Seeing that Ivan refused to admit it, Dorn said in a mostly threatening tone.
As we all know, the process from an apprentice to a wizard is a difficult one, especially for those with less talent. Once this news is released, it is obvious that it will cause a sensation.
Dorne's identity was enough to make many people believe what he said.
"Wizard Ivan, this matter is easy to discuss." Pence said.
"So, you want the production drawings of the Black Magic Wind Array." Ivan said with a frown.
"No, I need you to use the Black Magic Wind Array to ensure that one person becomes a wizard." Seeing that Pence was about to say something, Dondo spoke first.
"Dondo, how can you guarantee one hundred percent that you will become a wizard? You are asking too much." Pence argued.
"Wizard Pence, don't forget, it was you who told me the news." said Dondo.
"I just said there is a high possibility, not that it will definitely succeed." Pence looked at him with a headache and regretted saying those words in his heart. This Don Duo Xing was too irrational.
"That's not enough. Rebecca is my most beloved daughter. I must make sure that she can become a wizard instead of a cold corpse." Dondo said stubbornly.
Before Ivan could say anything, the two of them started arguing. He finally understood that Dondo showed up this time for the sake of one of his daughters, and it was probably not the first time that the other party was promoted to a wizard.
If he agreed, it would be a troublesome matter whether it succeeded or not.
If I don't agree, judging from Dondo's expression, he won't let it go.
Ultimately, this matter is due to my lack of strength, otherwise how could someone come to me so brazenly and make such rude demands.
"Wizard Ivan, this is just my one request. What do you think?" asked Dondo.
"You overestimate me. I don't have the ability to guarantee that an apprentice will become a formal wizard." Ivan shook his head. How could he possibly promise such a thing? That would be asking for trouble.
Let’s not talk about whether it is possible or not. How can he guarantee something that has not been verified? No one knows whether something unexpected will happen.
"Wizard Burns?"
"I believe what I saw. Wizard Ivan, don't be so modest. If it really hasn't come to that stage, we can also help with the development. It's really not easy for Rebecca." At this point, Pence could only stick to his own opinion.
Who cares if a stranger is easy or not, Ivan secretly rolled his eyes. Now there are two paths in front of him, either hand over the blueprint of the black magic wind beam array, or make a perfect rune magic array for the other party.
"You two, I don't mind exchanging the blueprints with you, but this requires the consent of the academy." After weighing the options, Ivan chose the first path. Anyway, he would not promise to let his apprentice become a wizard.
"In addition, you must ensure that no outrageous rumors are spread, for example, something that makes it very likely that the apprentice will become a wizard."
"can."
Seeing that he was determined not to admit it, Dondo had no choice but to wait until he got the blueprints and then rely on Pence for further development.
The two had been waiting for a while and had to hurry. Then the three of them went to the vice president's office and found Vice President Doris to explain the idea of exchanging the formation drawings.
"Wizard Ivan, I remember you didn't say that before."
Doris's face turned a little dark. She did not forget what happened before. It was also in this office that the other party rejected them in a firm tone. At that time, there were two vice-presidents and a chief deacon.
"This is a different time now. After all, the Black Magic Wind Beam has been depreciating in value, and Wizard Dondo is a distinguished guest of the academy. Of course, if the academy does not allow it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Ivan naturally hoped that the academy would come forward to refuse.
"You're right, Dondo is a distinguished guest of the academy, but you have to give the academy a copy of your drawings." Doris's next sentence broke his few fantasies and took the opportunity to make a request.
"No problem. The credits must be the same." Ivan did not refuse. He would give him one copy or two copies. He would not expect to earn credits by using the Black Magic Wind Beam Array Platform in the future.
The three parties reached a consensus, and Ivan handed over the blueprint of the Black Magic Wind Beam Array.
He received 3,000 credits from the academy, and from Dorndo, he received a set of first-level mental potions called "Trollope's Secret Dew", which was obviously a potion recipe developed by the Trollope family themselves.
Before leaving, Pence apologized to him.
Ivan could not deny this. Regardless of whether the other party did it intentionally or not, he was tricked by Pence this time, and his drawings had already fallen into Pence's hands.
Not only that, this matter also leaves other hidden dangers that cannot be explained in just a few words.
Through this incident, he was completely disappointed with Mona Ant Lodge. An academy that did not even have the slightest intention of protecting the wizards within it was, as Solomon said, rotten to the core.
Time is not subject to anyone's will, and another year has passed in a flash.
Strength: 12.2, Agility: 12.2, Constitution: 12.7, Spirit: 42.3
Ivan had finished taking that set of Trollope Secret Dew, which enabled his mental power to pass through the gasification stage and enter the elemental stage.
This stage is the longest stage in the first-level cultivation process. The mental power will slowly increase from 40 scales to 80 scales. He needs to enhance his mental power while fusing elemental crystals until his mental power reaches the upper limit of the first level.
When he had previously refined the Thousand Star Cone for Solomon, he had already obtained enough inferior plant elemental crystals, and all he had to do was to fuse them step by step.
The only thing lacking is the improvement of mental strength, and he also has some ideas about this.
"It's really an unexpected disaster."
Recently, Ivan received some bad news, which was told to him by Wizard Pence.
That Rebecca died during her third wizard promotion, and Dondo was a erratic person, so Pence reminded him to be careful.
