Chapter 217 Secret Action
Time flies by.

That day, Nora and Rona came to the Twin Towers with trepidation. They knocked on the door, and it opened. They were greeted by an emerald lizard with strange butterfly wings.

"Come in quickly, Madam Jiushiti will be here soon."

"Okay, okay."

Faced with this strange creature, the two of them felt nervous, but thinking that this was their mentor's residence and there shouldn't be any danger, they followed it into the living room.

The two looked at each other, and Nora said with gritted teeth:

"We want to see the mentor."

"I'm afraid that won't work. Wizard Ivan is quite busy. If you have anything to say, you can talk to Jiushi first. By the way, my name is Xiangdie, and I'm a member of Wizard Ivan's insect swarm.

There is another fellow named 'Wind Moth', but it is being kept in confinement by its mother, so you will definitely see it later.

Mother is the leader of our Xunmu Silkworm Clan. Wizard Ivan calls her the 'Silkworm Queen'. She is usually with Wizard Ivan."

Xiangdie shook her head and refused their request.

In order to prevent the two from feeling too embarrassed, Xiangdie imitated human habits and started to greet each other, focusing on introducing the Swift Wood Silkworm clan.

"Can you all speak?"

"We three can do it. The other Swift Wood Silkworms haven't grown to this stage yet."

"So cool, so magical, so beautiful. Can we find a swarm of insects that can talk?"

"It's very difficult. We, the Swiftwood Silkworm clan, were originally unable to speak. Under the careful training of Wizard Ivan, we underwent many sharp changes and finally gained wisdom and became intelligent creatures."

Among the two twin sisters, the younger sister Rona is more lively. After breaking the deadlock, she showed some of her true nature. She stared at Xiangdie with her sharp eyes. Her fiery gaze showed her active heart.

"Ahem, Rona, don't be so rude." Nora looked at her sister with a headache. From her understanding, if Rona hadn't just arrived, she would probably put her hands on this adult.

After a while, Jiushiti came to the living room, and Xiangdie, who was a little overwhelmed, quickly stepped aside.

"Mrs. Jiushiti."

"Well, Wizard Ivan has been busy recently, and has entrusted your affairs to me. I hope you don't mind."

The addition of two disciples was just a small episode for Ivan. Nora and the other had just embarked on the path of becoming wizards, and what they had learned was very superficial. Justie was able to provide the correct guidance, so he chose to pass the blame without hesitation.

"Don't mind, don't mind." The flash of pressure from Jiushiti made the two of them feel like they were struck by lightning. Their bodies stiffened and their hair stood on end. They quickly said that they didn't dare.

The two men realized that this woman who looked like a vase actually possessed strength far beyond their own and was extremely terrifying.

"Very good, you can ask me any questions you have about cultivation. If I can't answer you, you can go and ask Wizard Ivan. Don't worry, you are Wizard Ivan's disciples, he won't ignore you." Jiushiti's attitude became gentle.

She was born into a noble family, received aristocratic education since childhood, and was also the wife of a lord for a period of time. Naturally, she knew how to control people.

"Madam Jiushiti, our mentor has taught us three subjects: insect breeding, alchemy, and enchantment. Do we have to master all of them?" Nora thought for a moment and asked. Apprentices have limited energy and resources, and they can't afford such kindness to a certain extent.

"It doesn't have to be this way."

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, but Jiushiti's next words made them nervous again.

"These three subjects each have their own merits. It depends on how you choose."

"Appreciate further details."

"Raising insects is a tradition of our school. It contains the hard work of Wizard Randall and Wizard Ivan. When you reach the limit of the third-level apprentice, you will know that it has a great relationship with the success rate of being promoted to a wizard."

"What about alchemy?"

"Alchemy is the best way to earn magic stones, so I can give you more detailed guidance. As for enchanting, since we are a member of the enchanting group, according to the division of responsibilities, we can earn credits through enchanting, and credits are indispensable in the academy—"

After listening to Jiusiti's detailed introduction, the two looked at each other and felt each other's embarrassment. Raising insects is not to be mentioned. It is related to the issue of wizard promotion and cannot be given up.

As for alchemy and enchantment, there are people willing to give careful guidance on the former, but the latter involves credits, so it is really difficult to choose.

"You don't have to rush to make a decision. Some things depend on your own talents. What suits you is the most important. After all, not everyone can achieve amazing achievements in every subject like your mentor."

As a gift, Jiushiti gave each of them a set of low-grade magic stone water and also answered many of their questions about cultivation.

Returning to the dormitory from the Twin Towers, Nora and Rona smiled at each other.

"Nora, how do you feel about the mentor?"

"We got lucky."

"Yeah, I think it's pretty good too, even though I haven't met the instructor in person."

The two had been in the academy for a while and had learned a lot from their peers. Some people had to face unreasonable requests from their instructors from the beginning and had no way to refuse. On the other hand, no one had ever received a gift of mental potion or a special arrangement for someone to teach them. This treatment was definitely one of the best among all the newcomers, and the two sisters felt relieved.

……

The Twin Towers Meditation Room.

Ivan is indeed quite busy. On the one hand, he has to study the Ant King Barrier Formation, and on the other hand, he has to practice meditation to enhance the elementalization of his mental power.

He held a low-grade elemental crystal in his hand. Traces of elemental energy were extracted from the elemental crystal. After repeated tempering, they fell into the spiritual ocean, combined with a wisp of spiritual power, and became a part of it.

After integrating this trace of elemental energy, the originally colorless mental power took on a barely perceptible emerald green hue.

At this time, in the spiritual ocean, a large amount of gaseous spiritual power floated around the solidified model, constantly nourishing the solidified model of the "Flower and Tree Shield". It can be clearly seen that most of the gaseous spiritual power has been dyed green, and a small part is still in a colorless state.

Elementalization is a process where water drips through a stone.

It cannot be too fast, otherwise the mental power will find it difficult to adapt; it cannot be too slow, otherwise the newly increased mental power will be easily affected by the elementalized mental power, which may cause unpredictable changes.

"After the mental power is transformed into an element, it will increase the power of the spell. It's half useless to me."

He activates elementalization with plant elemental crystals, which will only add bonus to plant spells. His current elementalization is equivalent to 60%, which will bring a % bonus to the power of plant spells, such as the spell Thorn Jungle.

Unfortunately, his most commonly used spell is the Dark Hand, which has nothing to do with plants.

Fortunately, this bonus will also work on the 'Flower and Wood Shield'. Now the defense of the Flower and Wood Shield has reached 40 scales, and ordinary spells often cannot break the defense.

Another half month passed in a flash.

Ivan felt that the research on the data of the Ant King Barrier Array was almost complete, so he contacted Chris Donald, informed him of the situation, and asked about the other party's next arrangements.

"Wizard Chris Donner, this is the situation. If we cannot directly touch the Ant King Barrier Array, all of this is just talk. It is difficult to say how much we have mastered."

"I understand what you mean. Please wait a few days and I will prepare it."

In the meditation room, Chris Donner's half-figure appeared on a crystal ball, as clear as if he were standing there.

"Wait, this is trying to provoke the three major families, and it is also against the rules of the academy. Are you sure no one will find out?" Ivan stopped Chris Donner who was about to leave and asked worriedly.

If their actions were discovered, the consequences would be unbearable, and as the first executor, Ivan would definitely suffer the most severe blow, forcing him to ask more questions.

"I promise in the name of Mother Earth that all arrangements will be made with your safety as the first priority, and we will try our best to prevent others from noticing our actions."

After all, this was inside the academy and he would have to come into contact with the academy's protective magic formation. Chris Donnell could understand his concerns and immediately gave him a guarantee to reassure him.

"Okay, I'll wait for the good news."

Ivan was just expressing his attitude. Nothing is ever foolproof, and his words are enough.

Time passed day by day. One day, Walban came to the Twin Towers to visit Ivan. Not long after, Walban left and returned to his residence.

Two days later, Walban visited another wizard, and also did not stay for too long, as if it was a normal exchange. Little did he know that through this seemingly ordinary action, the owners of several wizards' residences had changed.

In a residence that was a combination of three towers and a castle, Ivan was looking around.

"Wizard Ivan, are you satisfied with our arrangements?" Andaya's cold voice sounded.

"I didn't expect that you had planted people in the training group. Well done." Ivan nodded slightly.

At this moment, the two's appearance and aura changed drastically. They were going to disguise themselves as an elderly wizard couple from the cultivation group, and then conduct research on the Ant King Barrier Array here.

The cultivation group is the sphere of influence of the Wakin family, one of the three major families. No one had ever thought that Chris Donner had already planted stakes in it and made a series of arrangements, and then used it as a base to secretly carry out various research.

Ivan and Andaya appeared here, and naturally there were other people living in their residences. Ivan's was Walban, who had stayed in the Twin Towers two days ago.

"Thank you for the compliment." Hearing his words, a small puppet jumped out of Andaya's pocket. The puppet's mouth opened and closed, and the voice was indeed Chris Donald's.

"Wizard Ivan, I'm sorry I can't come here in person to discuss the magic array with you."

"Don't say that. The three major families' attention to you is not comparable to ours. We must be cautious in everything we do." Ivan discovered that he was not an ordinary puppet. Various sensory reactions showed that the puppet was similar to Chris Donnell's clone.

Chris Donnell has been a wizard for a long time. From an ordinary wizard to a deacon, and then from a deacon to the chief deacon, his power is deeply rooted, and it is normal for him to control various secret methods and strange objects.

"Let's go to the observation point and take a look. I promise you will be satisfied."

"Wait and see."

After a few pleasantries, the two men and the puppet walked towards the secret observation point deep in the residence.
