Chapter 254 Getting what you want
Outside Shixi Town, a flying beast flashed across the sky and landed in front of the Kanda Magic Stone Mine.
"We're here. This is the academy's original magic stone mine, but it has long been mined out."
The flying beast was clearly an enlarged swamp ant. Three people jumped off its back one after another. Ivan casually introduced the destination of this trip to the two of them.
"I've heard of it, but I've never been there." Cody felt his legs go weak and he stamped his feet.
Who would have thought that he was stepping on such a powerful creature? He vaguely felt that the other party was unhappy. He felt that he was being targeted a little bit, but he didn't dare to complain.
"Cody, there is some connection between us."
Ivan turned his head to look at him and said solemnly: "I'll say it one last time. This is a brand new attempt. The risks are unknown. If you succeed, you will lose the possibility of further promotion. If you have any concerns, I will give you a chance to refuse. I forgive you."
"Dean, I, Cody, will not hide anything. As long as there is a slight possibility of becoming a formal wizard, I am willing to fight for this opportunity and have no regrets even if I die." Cody said in a sonorous and powerful voice.
"Okay, I know what you're thinking. I'll give you a chance to fight to the death. Whether you succeed or not is your choice, and you can't blame anyone." Ivan nodded and turned his head to look at the remote place in front.
The Kanda Magic Stone Mine was originally managed by the Enchanting Group and was within his authority. He didn't need to ask anyone when he needed to use it.
Then, he took out a pass and took Jiushi and Cody deep into the magic stone mine and came to this dim cave.
"Wizard Ivan, have you been here before?" Jiushi looked around curiously.
"I came here once. At that time, I was just an apprentice who had just entered the third level. That time I met a very interesting humanoid creature." Ivan said with emotion.
That time, for him, Walban, Heidi and others, it was definitely a life-threatening adventure.
Here, he comprehended the initial Black Demon's Hand, and from then on he could not stop, and kept improving the Black Demon's Hand, from which he derived the Black Demon's Beam Array, Black Demon's Wind Beam Array, Black Demon's Wind Array, and Black Demon's Wind and Fire Array.
From a certain perspective, this place can be considered his blessed land.
"I heard from others that it was very dangerous, and it was you, the Dean, who turned the tide in the critical moment and allowed everyone to escape." Cody echoed from the side.
"Haha, your information is correct." Ivan smiled and led them to find a suitable location.
After the black-robed monster's torment, the special aura in the Kanda magic stone mine was obviously not as strong as Solo's, but it was enough for Jushi and Cody who were still apprentices.
The special aura in the magic stone mine is different from that of the magic stone. In order to achieve a higher success rate of promotion, Ivan brought the two here on purpose.
"Ivan, how about I ask those useless tribesmen to look for it, just like we did before at that place." The Queen Silkworm naturally followed.
"No need, there's no need to make a big fuss this time."
They had searched the magic stone mine before, so Ivan was familiar with the place and soon found a suitable place to set up the formation.
The swamp ant stepped forward and patted the ground. A force spread out from it as the center, and the surrounding rocks and soil became soft, like a piece of cloth that could be swung at will.
This is the effect of its ability 'Iwasawa Manipulation'.
In less than half a minute, a spacious and flat underground square emerged.
Seeing this scene, Jiushiti and Cody couldn't help but widen their eyes. Such a wonderful ability was obviously beyond the cognition of the two apprentices.
"The big black guy has learned to show off." The Silkworm Queen muttered in a sour tone.
After further testing of its plant transformation skills, it was found that the transformation range is not limited to mulberry trees, but any plants that it has eaten and meet the requirements will be able to be transformed, but it still has little attack power.
In terms of physical strength, it is equivalent to a person who has just entered the Flying Knight stage, and there is no way it can compare with the big black guy, which makes the Queen Silkworm feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing Ivan start to get busy, the Queen Silkworm stopped muttering and went with Ze Yi to dig for magic stone raw stones not far away.
Ivan refined the raw magic stone into plates and blocks. Soon, a small-sized black magic wind and fire formation took shape.
In order to take care of the two apprentices, Ivan severely suppressed the power of certain aspects of the formation, made a lot of simplifications, and retained only its refining ability.
"Cody, are you ready?"
"Dean, I have been waiting for this moment for a long time."
"Okay, let's get started."
This was Cody's third promotion. He already knew everything he needed to know and didn't need Ivan to remind him of anything.
Afterwards, Cody sat cross-legged on one side of the array platform. There were runes engraved on the original stone slab at a distance from here to the array platform. At that time, the power would be transmitted along the runes.
Ivan waved his hands to the left and right, asking Jiushiti, Zeyi, and the Queen Silkworm to leave the underground square. He also walked away a little to avoid interfering with Cody's promotion.
"Dean, please help me."
Cody drank three bottles of Alva Water in one breath and entered the official wizard promotion state with an indomitable momentum.
In Ivan's sight, his whole body turned red, and a lot of white mist of sweat came out of his body, like a shrimp in a steamer.
The Black Magic Wind and Fire Array was quickly activated, drawing in the special aura from all around. After being repeatedly tempered by the array, it was transformed into extremely pure spiritual energy.
Wisps of spiritual energy floated towards Cody along the rune lines.
According to Ivan's idea, as long as Cody can successfully transform these energies into his own spiritual power, his promotion success rate will be greatly improved.
"Compared to when I was an apprentice, the purity of the refined spiritual energy is many times higher."
This is Cody's promotion. Ivan can only do one thing, which is to control the transmission speed of mental energy. If this method still doesn't work, he can only say that the other party deserves it.
Several hours passed, and the underground square suddenly became turbulent for no reason, submerging Cody's figure.
After a while, Cody's figure reappeared. He staggered to his feet, walked step by step to Ivan, and knelt down on the ground.
"Dean, I, Cody Timoro, swear in the name of the Mother of the Earth's Core that this life will be yours from now on. Please feel free to use it at your will." Although Cody was feeling unwell, he was in exceptionally active spirits. He said respectfully.
Apparently, he became a full-fledged wizard in his third promotion.
Faced with the person who gave him a new life, Cody chose to swear allegiance to express his gratitude.
"I remember. Go outside and rest." Ivan didn't say much. After checking him, he asked him to recuperate aside. His body was severely damaged during the promotion.
After Cody left, Jiushi came.
"Jiusiti, are you ready?"
"Be ready, Ivan. I won't let you down."
"Don't let yourself down. You have to understand that an apprentice cannot be a good wife of the Marichatton family."
"Well, I'll be a proper Mrs. Marichardton."
Seeing that Jiushi's expression had become unusually determined, Ivan motioned for her to sit on the other side of the formation, in the seat specially reserved for her.
Not long after, in this dim magic stone mine, another apprentice got his wish, crossed the critical threshold in his life, became a formal wizard, and borrowed nearly three hundred years of life from the world.
