Chapter 357: Caring Heart
Chapter 357: Caring Heart
Dongdu, District 107, Block .
In the Swiftwood Tower where the Enchanting Guild is located, it has been five days since Ivan returned from the city of Encart thousands of miles away.
After he came back, of course he had to show up at the Enchanting Guild, contact his colleagues, and visit his superiors. Unfortunately, Vice President Angus was busy with something.
After a few days, he had dealt with a lot of trivial matters and his daily life became the same as before.
"Xiangdie, is the teacher still so depressed?"
"Well, Wizard Randall hasn't been to other places these days. He often goes to the tavern and sits there for most of the day. He really hasn't calmed down yet."
Ivan understood that Randall had not yet recovered from the blow.
The Nine-Colored Glass Insect Clan that he had worked hard to cultivate for decades was severely damaged, and there was also the betrayal of his good friend, as well as the secret behind the Blackbeard Music. These three things were things that he cared about.
All three of these things went wrong, and it was like three stabs in his heart, devastating Randall.
Logically speaking, a wizard wouldn't take so long to recover given his personality, but Randall is different from ordinary people. He is a rare person of temperament among wizards.
"Let him be. Take better care of him."
"Ok."
It's not a big problem to drink to drown your sorrows, as it's difficult for a wizard to get drunk. Ivan had something on his mind, so he didn't pay much attention to it for the time being, and just said a few words to Xiangdie.
Afterwards, he came to the Enchanting Guild, where the vice president had just sent a message asking him to come over.
In the vice president's office, Ivan stepped forward to greet Vice President Angus.
"Did you go to the southwestern fortress of Encart?" Angus pointed to the chair next to him, motioning him to sit down and talk.
"I have a friend who is from the Bellizzi family. I owed him a favor before, so I accepted his invitation to explore the Nine-Colored Tiankeng outside the city." Ivan nodded and answered truthfully.
He was indeed a little surprised that the news reached the vice president's ears so quickly.
"That place is quite dangerous, and there are many good things in it." Angus frowned slightly and asked:
"I heard that there was some conflict and someone dared to stop you outside the Thunder Pass. After knowing that you are an elder of the Enchanting Guild, they still refused to let you in. Is that true or not?"
"Yes, fortunately an elder from the Nandu branch came to my rescue."
"Tell me in detail. I want to see who is openly targeting the people from my Enchanting Guild. It is true that Encart City is heavily fortified, but the rune magic arrays inside and outside the city were all built with the help of the guild, and the maintenance is also done by the elders of the guild. Now they have turned against us."
"Vice President, the situation is not that serious." Ivan waved his hands quickly, but he didn't want to get angry. "In fact, the one who was playing tricks was a member of the Bellizzi family, my friend's competitor--"
He briefly recounted the events, omitting the matter of the palm-severing transaction.
"What the hell, those people are really what the hell." Angus's face darkened when he heard that he was abandoned in the wilderness by the airship and was being bullied for this. "Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation."
"That's not necessary."
"You don't have to say anything more. Our guild is not so easy to bully."
In Angus's opinion, with Ivan's fame spreading across the continent, he is equivalent to the guild's signature figure and is more than qualified to represent the Enchanting Guild.
Since Ivan has revealed the name of the guild, he must make a name for himself.
Otherwise, others would think that the Enchanting Guild is a soft persimmon.
In fact, he got the news from Milton, the vice president of the Nandu Guild.
As the heads of the association, they were well aware of some information from the top management and knew that Ivan was a talent valued by the top management.
Whether it was the top management's appreciation or Ivan's own potential, they were all happy to support Ivan, which was why Milton personally informed him of the news.
"I say the same thing again. If any blind wizards give you trouble in the future, just tell us the name of the guild and make any requests you have. This is your right as a direct elder of the guild." Seeing that Ivan was a little hesitant, Angus emphasized loudly.
This statement was obviously biased. Ivan knew very well that the direct elders did not have that much power. Feeling the sincere care and concern from the upper echelons, he could only nod gratefully.
"Well, I do have a favor to ask."
"Just say it."
"I want to buy a larger tower outside of the four major sects." Ivan stated his request without any pretense.
After all, Xunmu Tower was located on the territory of the Space School, so it was somewhat inappropriate for outsiders to live there, and it was also inconvenient for Randall to live there. Besides, he had arranged all the floors in the tower, so there was no way to leave a floor empty for Randall.
Therefore, he thought about buying a new tower.
"It's a small matter. I will arrange a four-story tower for you and live in your original tower together. As an enchanter of the space school, you can't be without a place to stay in your own territory." Angus agreed casually.
After finishing his business, he also took Ivan aside to discuss space knowledge for a while. It was called a discussion, but in fact it was a test and he also answered some of his questions.
Angus was naturally satisfied with his attainments and progress in space.
After listening to Angus's story, Ivan learned that there are three stages of space cutting: the first is the space blade, the second is the space thread, and the third is the space crushing.
Space crushing is to manipulate the space network to continuously compress inward, forming a crushing force locally, and ultimately annihilate everything in the space.
There is no doubt that this stage is no longer just about space cutting.
Seeing that he could manipulate the space thread so skillfully, Angus diligently told him which direction to explore next, which contained his expectations.
The next day, Angus fulfilled his promise and arranged a four-story tower for him.
Knowing that Ivan had no shortage of magic stones, he sold the tower to him at a 30% discount.
The total area of this tower is almost twice that of the Xunmu Tower. It is located near the 108th Block. Although it is some distance away from the Three Towers of the Enchanting Guild, the people living around it are all well-known figures in Dongdu, and the defensive power is equally strong.
Ivan named the new tower "Black Ant Tower" and immediately began simple renovation and layout.
……
Vernon Millennium Archives.
A few days later, Ivan was able to meet his superior at the Five Leaf Spear, Chief Nanil.
Naniel had reminded him about the promotion resources before, and now that he had returned with a full load, he should come and express his gratitude. However, people like the vice president and the director were not people that he could meet immediately if he wanted to.
"It seems that you have made a good harvest this time. I think it won't be long before we can see the birth of a four-leaf member." Naniel still looked gentle and elegant.
"I have indeed gained something. If there are no other problems, I will start promotion in the near future." Ivan did not hide it.
"I'm very happy that you can become a peer. However, I have to remind you that you can't just take one step at a time in your cultivation. The promotion of a third-level wizard has some special features, and you have to focus on a higher level." Nanil paused and said earnestly.
"Laying the foundation for promotion to level four?" Ivan's mind moved.
"It can be said that many third-level wizards have suffered losses in this regard, so don't take it lightly. As for how to grasp it specifically, I am not qualified to teach you now. You are a wise person and you should have your own ideas in your mind." Naniel said.
"I see." Ivan nodded gratefully.
In fact, when he was deriving the meditation method 'Black Magic Ritual', based on his own ambitions, he had already considered this issue and made corresponding arrangements.
Looking back now, it was undoubtedly a very wise thing to do.
After listening to Naniel's words, Ivan became more determined about his upcoming transformation and promotion.
