Chapter 237 Regrets and Proposals
Chapter 237 Regrets and Proposals
After the swamp ants recovered to the third level, their flying speed was much faster than before. It only took more than three hours to travel between Belu Town and the academy, saving Ivan most of the time.
"Ze Yi, slow down, I'm waiting for someone."
The Mona Ant Colony hut was in sight, but Ivan asked the marsh ants to slow down.
It turned out that his mentor Randall also happened to return to the academy, and a few seconds later, he would arrive on a golden beetle. Randall's attention could not help but be attracted by the swamp ant.
"Teacher, are you visiting a friend or carrying out a mission?"
"Neither. Do you remember what I said? The man who also practices the meditation method "Black Beard Movement", someone sent me a message saying that guy appeared again, so I went to take a look."
With Randall's knowledge, he could certainly see the extraordinaryness of the Four-Winged King Ant. He estimated in his heart that he should be above the Golden Beetle General and the Silkworm Queen. He secretly clicked his tongue, thinking that his disciples were becoming more and more difficult to understand.
"Then why didn't you inform me so that we could go and block them together?" Ivan said.
"Hey Ivan, don't think that just because you're getting stronger and stronger, you can look down on me, your mentor. I'm not to the point where I need your protection." Randall said pretending to be unhappy.
"How could that be possible? Everyone knows that you are the number one insect controller in the Mona Ant Farm."
"With you here, it's hard to say for sure."
"It's different. I'm not a pure insect controller. Enchanting is my main job. Being the best enchanter is my vision."
"Then I am still the best insect controller in the Mona Ant Colony? Haha, I am shameless enough to take the first place."
After the master and disciple joked for a while, Randall talked about his gains.
After some trial and error during this trip, he became friends with that person, who was also a pure insect controller, and they had similar interests.
Ivan was not surprised to hear his words. His mentor had a bold yet delicate character. Such a person could easily make people feel good about him and make friends with him.
"He wants to invite me to join his organization." Randall hesitated and continued.
Ivan was stunned for a moment. It felt so familiar. He was also invited by Solomon and joined the Five Leaf Spear not long ago. The experiences of the master and disciple were so similar.
"That is a very pure insect controller organization, with a very complete Blackbeard Meditation Method and a vast amount of corresponding training resources."
It can be seen that Randall was moved and there was some regret on his face.
Ivan knew the crux of the problem.
"But not within the Moonclaw Peninsula?"
"That's right, so I can only express my regret."
"You don't have to feel too sorry. The issue of the Hundred Years Contract will eventually be resolved."
Randall just nodded symbolically in response to his relief, but did not take it seriously in his heart. After all, over the years, there were almost no wizards who could terminate the contract early.
After entering the Mona Ant Colony cabin, Ivan and Randall parted ways and returned to the Twin Towers.
"Ivan, what's going on? Has she become an official wizard?" After hearing the noise, Jiushiti came forward immediately.
"It's done." Ivan nodded slightly.
"I knew that there would be no problem if you took action." Hearing this answer, Jiushi didn't know whether she was happy or disappointed. She just stared at him with eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
"It's good that you know." Ivan reached out and ruffled her smooth hair. "But you need to wait a little longer."
"Okay, don't make me wait too long, otherwise - otherwise that woman will definitely come to bully me, and then I won't be able to fight her, and I will definitely be bullied terribly." Jiushi looked up at him with a tearful look.
"No, I'm on your side."
"It's a word."
After hearing this, Jiushiti burst into laughter and threw herself into his arms.
Compared with Purney, Justie is much inferior in both talent and determination. It will naturally be more difficult for her to become a formal wizard. Ivan needs more preparation to ensure that everything goes well.
Jiushiti followed him all the way to the academy, so of course Ivan had to protect her as much as possible.
Being tightly held by Jiushiti, Ivan could feel her strong attachment and dependence. He couldn't help but feel excited and comforted her with practical actions, which made the bedroom full of wonderful sounds.
The next day, Ivan gathered all the other miscellaneous thoughts and returned to the business.
[Knight's Breathing Skills: lv8 (11/4000)]
[Pharmacy: lv7 (68/3000)]
Over the past period of time, two more subjects on the academic master panel have been promoted. First, pharmacy crossed the level 7 threshold, and then knight respiratory science crossed the level 8 threshold.
Correspondingly, he obtained two small wisdom lights, one level 7 great wisdom light, and one level 8 wisdom light.
Nowadays, there are also Light of Wisdom on the Xueba panel: one copy of level 6 and three copies of level 8; Light of Great Wisdom: three copies of level 7.
These are undoubtedly great help, and he will have a unique advantage in repairing the Ant King Barrier Array to the Ant King Nirvana Cocoon Array. However, in order to achieve the goal, in addition to the knowledge and understanding of the formation, the corresponding repair materials are also needed, otherwise it will be just empty talk.
"Chris Donner? Lydia's family? Star Moon Alliance? Liuyunfang Collection?"
"Let's talk to Vice President Doris first. Repairing the protective barrier is the academy's official business. You can't ask an enchanter to do both the work and the money. You can't bully people like that."
In a place like the Moonclamp Peninsula, it is difficult to obtain materials to repair the protective magic circle. Ivan thought about the possible ways he could obtain the materials, and after comparing them one by one, he decided to take advantage of the academy.
Before that, he must have a more thorough understanding of the 'Ant King Rebirth Cocoon Formation' recorded in the diamond-shaped crystal. This is related to his promotion to the second-level wizard and he cannot afford to be negligent in the slightest.
In the following days, he used a level 6 light of wisdom and a level 8 light of wisdom successively, which enabled him to understand the Ant King's Nirvana Cocoon Formation to an unfathomable level.
A month later, Ivan arrived at the vice-president's office.
"Deacon Ivan, you came at a bad time. Vice Dean Doris is discussing important matters with Head Deacon Of."
"It doesn't matter. I just happen to have something important to report."
Of course Ivan knew that Off was there. He knew this through Ze Yi. It was better if Deacon Off was there, so that the old woman Doris wouldn't make trouble.
Seeing his tough attitude, the maid just went to report.
"Deacon Ivan, I heard that Vice Dean Doris has assigned you to repair the Ant-Man Barrier. How is the progress?"
Among the representatives of the three major families, Aofu is the type who sits firmly on the throne, has his own pride, and has a relatively better view of the overall situation.
Ofu had some admiration for Ivan, who had great attainments in enchantment.
"I was just about to report this." Hearing her words, Ivan said, "After some exploration, I have come up with a plan to restore the Ant King Barrier Array to an intermediate rune wizard array. I hope to get the full support of the academy."
"Deacon Ivan, stop talking nonsense. It is not an easy task to repair the protective magic array to the intermediate level." Doris said in a low voice with an unhappy look on her face.
In her opinion, Ivan just wanted more resources and was simply greedy.
“Difficult doesn’t mean it can’t be done. May I ask Vice Dean Doris, are you questioning my enchanting skills or your own decision? If I remember correctly, it was you who gave me the task of repairing the Ant-Man Barrier?
I worked hard for several months to come up with a suitable repair plan, but you didn't even want to listen and rejected it with one word. Isn't that inappropriate?"
Ivan knew that Doris would make excuses, so he questioned her bluntly.
"You - how outrageous!" Doris didn't expect him to talk back to her like that, and her face immediately became long.
"I'm just speaking the truth. The situation on the Moonclamp Peninsula is unpredictable right now. The sooner the protective barrier is repaired, the more security the academy will have. We lost a lot of face the last time someone sneaked into the academy, and no one wants it to happen a second time. Do you agree with this, Deacon Off?" Ivan said confidently.
"Indeed, what happened last time must not happen again, otherwise our Mona Ant Lodge will lose all face and we will not have the face to stay in the Moon Clamp Peninsula." Aufu nodded slightly. She was laughed at a lot for what happened last time.
A wizard academy with so many wizards inside allows a group of thieves to come in and out as they please. What's the difference between this and a wandering wizard organization?
"It was because of this that I raced against time to think of a repair method, and finally it was perfected yesterday. I only hope that I can pick up the face that the academy has lost as soon as possible." Ivan said sincerely.
"Thank you for your hard work, Deacon Ivan. What materials do you need?"
"I have made a list, please take a look at it."
After Ofu asked, Ivan directly took out a list of materials, which filled up an entire piece of animal skin.
Looking at the densely packed material names on the animal hide, Doris's face turned even darker.
"This matter needs to be discussed in more depth." Aofu glanced at it and frowned slightly. She said in a deep voice: "In addition, we need to know your specific repair plan and the changes of the Ant King Barrier after the repair. Are you willing to present it?"
"It's impossible."
Ivan agreed immediately, took out the crystal ball he had prepared and handed it over, and then did not stay in the office for long.
Seeing how readily he agreed, which was completely different from his previous behavior, Doris felt that there was something fishy going on.
"Ofu, this wizard Ivan cannot be trusted."
"Is it that his enchanting skills are unreliable, or is it that his stance is unreliable?"
Doris was speechless. This was an obvious question. The previous repair had proved that the other party's enchantment attainment was the best in the academy. She could not deny that.
"As long as his enchanting skills are not unreliable, we should let him repair it. When the protective magic array is upgraded to the intermediate level, we will benefit from it." Aofu looked confident, as if she didn't take Ivan seriously. "As for his position, he will definitely not be able to make any waves."
"Can--"
Just as Doris was about to say something, Ave said something more obscure, which made Doris' eyes light up and then she smiled.
Soon, Deacon Auf convened the senior members of the academy. After a brief discussion among the six people, they passed the repair plan and unanimously agreed to let Ivan upgrade the protective magic array to 24 rune bundles and transform it into an intermediate ant king barrier array.
