Chapter 230 New Discovery

Chapter 230 New Discovery
Destruction can be done overnight, but repair requires careful and slow work.

After nearly two months of repairs by Ivan and others on the Ant-Man Barrier, there were finally some interim results. The Ant-Man Barrier suddenly shook, scaring several people so much that their faces changed slightly.

"Wizard Ivan, what is this?"

"Thanks to everyone, the Ant King Barrier has been restored to its original state."

"23 rune bundles?"

"Yes, we have restored 23 rune bundles, which is almost the same as before the bandits destroyed it."

Following Ivan's suggestion, Madeline and the others carefully sensed the changes in the Ant-Man Barrier. As he said, the 23rd rune bundle that had been missing from the Ant King Barrier array had reappeared.

After the 23rd rune bundle appeared, the chain reaction caused by the bandits completely disappeared, making Madeline and the others smile.

"That's not right. Don't we still have a quarter of the barrier that hasn't been repaired? Moreover, the most difficult area to repair has not been touched." Mo Ling asked in confusion.

"What's wrong with that? The Ant-Man Barrier originally had 28 rune bundles, and this is just from there to there." Ivan laughed. He and Mo Ling didn't get along very well, so he was too lazy to explain in depth.

"I guess you don't know either."

"Whatever you say, now that the Ant-Man Barrier has returned to its original power, I have to report the good news to the Vice Dean and the Head Deacon."

"You are anxious to become the deacon of the enchantment group."

"Why not? This is something that everyone agreed to do. I did what I promised, so I should get what I deserve."

After dealing with the aftermath in this area, Ivan simply removed the Little Ant King's Four Pillar Formation, stopped building a new formation, and walked directly to Vice President Doris's office.

In the time that had passed, several college leaders must have received the news.

Sure enough, when Ivan arrived at the vice-president's office, there was not only Doris in the office, but also Ave and Dean Chris Donner.

Seeing that things were not going well, Doris announced on the spot, witnessed by two chief deacons, that Ivan would become the deacon of the enchantment group, and notified all the wizards in the enchantment group.

"Deacon Ivan, the treatment of the deacons will be implemented one by one in the near future. Your current task is still to lead them to repair the Ant-Man Barrier until it can no longer be repaired. What do you think?"

"No problem. As the deacon of the enchantment team, it is my duty."

Now, Ivan really snatched food from Lydia's family and became the only deacon in the enchantment group, with a status equal to Madeline.

Ivan did not refuse Doris's arrangement. He was not in a hurry to seize power, and he was willing to study the Ant-Man Barrier more, perhaps he would make other discoveries.

After becoming a deacon, Ivan's daily life remained largely unchanged, with only some minor changes.

Although wizards respect strength, when the difference in strength between people does not seem that big, the effectiveness of the position is reflected, and it becomes more justified to order others around.

Mo Ling always couldn't help but refute Ivan's words in the past, but after he became a deacon, this situation rarely happened, which made him laugh secretly.

Several people selectively repaired the area around the Ant-Man Barrier. In the remaining one-fifth of the area, there were many tough ones that were difficult to deal with, so their repair speed inevitably slowed down a lot.

On this day, Ivan was sitting in the four-pillar formation of the little ant king when he suddenly noticed an unusual movement, which immediately attracted his attention.

"This is Gina's residence. What is Gina doing?" He was concerned because he noticed something strange happening in the three small spaces. Three strands of inexplicable energy appeared out of thin air, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the Ant-Man Barrier and fell into the protective room of a wizard's residence.

Through the Ant-Man Barrier, he recognized that it was the residence of his junior sister Gina.

If he had not left monitoring means in the three small spaces, he would probably have missed this subtle change.

In a moment, the three small spaces fell silent again, as if nothing had happened.

"The energies just now appeared very strangely. There was no sign of the Ant-Man Altar being activated. Could it be that they came from a place more secret than the small space, an array upon an array upon an array?"

Ivan concentrated on thinking for a moment, and he had a strong premonition that he seemed to have discovered something extraordinary this time and was getting closer and closer to finding the deepest secret.

"Teacher, what has Gina been busy with recently?"

"She has not yet gotten over the mental slack period and has been very relaxed recently. A few days ago, she said that her house was empty and there was not even a cleaner. She wanted to summon a shadow ant servant first."

“That’s quite a lot of free time indeed.”

After hearing Randall's answer, Ivan realized that the new wizard's protection room was really of little use except for summoning shadow ant servants.

But he had never imagined that the seemingly simple summoning of shadow ant servants actually involved such profound things.

Come to think of it, the shadow ant servants become intelligent creatures with active thinking after being summoned. This is indeed worth pondering.

"Alas, inertial thinking is harmful."

Ivan muttered secretly. Ever since he came to the Mona Ant Farm Hut, he had seen the shadow ant servants shuttling around the campus. As a servant, he was ordered around by the wizard. He was very familiar with it.

It is this familiarity that has prevented me from ever thinking deeply about the issue of shadow ant servants.

You know, the Queen Silkworm has undergone many metamorphosis and consumed a lot of resources before it transformed step by step into an intelligent creature, while the shadow ant servants can do it in one step without any difficulty. There must be some incredible secret here.

He is a patient person. After making a new discovery, he is not in a hurry to do anything. He needs to plan for the long term. The process he saw before was too short, and it is not easy to research out something new.

The next day, before Ivan could come up with a proper plan, the academic master panel gave him a surprise.

[Rune Experience +50]
[Runes: lv8 (3/4000)]
Runes and Enchanting complement each other and can also enhance each other. After Enchanting was upgraded to level 8, the experience value of Runes has been increasing rapidly. Not long ago, Runes became an 8th-level subject right after Enchanting.

The light of wisdom came upon him, making him intoxicated in the ocean of runes and unable to extricate himself, and he gained further control over the runes he was involved in.

There is an additional level 8 light of wisdom on the academic master’s panel.

There was a flash in the depths of his eyes, and then the attribute panel emerged.

Strength: 13.6, Agility: 13.8, Constitution: 14.3, Spirit: 77.7
The day before yesterday, he took the second Alva Night Spring potion, and his mental strength increased again a lot, and he was only one step away from the limit of a first-level wizard.

Once his strength reaches the 80th level and he completes the elementalization of his new mental power, he can start considering his promotion to a second-level wizard, which is undoubtedly a very difficult and exciting task.
