Chapter 415 Raging Fire
Chapter 415 Raging Fire
Dongdu Dongren City, after nearly a year, Ivan returned here again.
Xunmu Tower, Locke sensed his breath approaching quickly and immediately opened the door to greet him.
"Boss, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back I would have gone to look for you."
"Less than a year."
"Really? Haha, that's because I missed you so much, it's no wonder I feel uncomfortable after not seeing you for so long."
Ivan ignored his antics and introduced Angela, whom he brought back, to the others, and asked Xiangdie to arrange for Angela to stay on the second floor of the wizard tower.
The second floor of the wizard tower is usually inhabited by servants, beast servants, etc., but Ivan did not recruit other servants, so it cannot be considered a servants' residence.
Angela naturally had no objection. She had long been shocked by the changes in the human world, which was completely different from what she knew from the information.
"Boss, don't you find anything different?" Locke emphasized unwillingly when he didn't receive the expected praise.
"Your aura is so light, it's hard not to detect it." Ivan knew what he wanted to say and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you have broken through the third level!"
"Hehe, after you left, this year was not wasted for me. I took the Queen Silkworm around and cleaned up several spirit gathering points." Locke raised the bracelet on his hand with a smile.
This was the thing that was sent out from a strange plane when we were clearing out the ambushing spirits in the Dode Magic Stone Mine - the certificate for the 'Great Grinder'.
By using this bracelet to clear the gathering points of spirits, he can get power feedback.
It was with this point that he broke through the boundary of the third level in one fell swoop and was promoted to a third-level creature.
In the living room, Locke talked a lot about the extermination of spirits, from collecting intelligence to going to the expedition, and then to completely destroying the special force field of the gathering point. Due to the restraint of the 'Grinding Bracelet' on the spirits, the expedition process did not encounter too much danger.
"By the way, why don't I see that Jenny?" Locke had always felt that something was wrong, and now he finally realized it.
"Stay in the Comorian Empire and become a saint." Ivan said.
"What's so good about being a saint? She won't--" Hearing this, Locke frowned in confusion, but in the end he didn't say any unpleasant words.
It's not his fault. The clone is to serve the original body. The boss is back, but Jenny is still acting as a saint. This is too outrageous.
"What are you thinking about? It's not that Jenny doesn't want to go back, but she can't go back." Ivan shook his head slightly.
"Those night elves are so domineering. Why don't we gather all our men and fight back now to get Jenny back together." Locke became even more anxious when he heard this, and shouted that he wanted to charge forward.
"Can't beat it."
"how is this possible?"
"It's good that you have this intention, but your opponent is not the Komor Empire, but the Mother Goddess behind them. Those night elves are also powerful, and the lord-level power they possess is too numerous to count on one hand. Just let things take their course."
After hearing what he said, Locke seemed a little at a loss.
Ivan thought about it, stretched out his hand and pointed at his forehead, and some information about Jenny's identity and origin was passed on to him, making him understand that things were more complicated than he had imagined.
This time, Locke was completely stunned, his mouth opened wide and did not close for a long time.
After he digested the information received from Lai, he felt that breaking through the third level was nothing to be proud of. Compared with Jenny's experience, it was nothing.
Finished!
I, Locke, will never be able to catch up with that woman again.
"Boss, how about I go and clear out a few more spirit gathering points?"
"Don't worry, wait until you are proficient in mastering the power after your promotion."
Locke sometimes acts like a show-off, and Ivan certainly can't accompany him in being crazy. In fact, it hasn't been long since Locke was promoted to the third level, and the power in his body began to seem weak, and it takes some time to control it.
After being promoted to the third level, the third innate ability he awakened was very strange, called "Fire of Rage".
Compared with his first two abilities, 'King's Melody' and 'Spatial Acceleration', they are completely different categories of abilities, tending towards the mental and emotional types, and should have been awakened based on his spiritual identity.
The fire of rage is a flame born from manic anger. This flame can ignite the anger in a living being, causing it to lose its mind, lose control of its emotions, and find it difficult to maintain its self.
Ivan had never seen this kind of ability before, so it was difficult for him to evaluate its pros and cons.
He tried it himself, and after being hit by the fire of rage, he indeed developed a rage that kept gushing out, making it difficult for him to remain calm, and he began to look at all the creatures around him with displeasure.
However, with his willpower as a third-level wizard, he was able to force himself to suppress it.
But he just suppressed it, and his anger did not disappear. It was obvious that he was extremely difficult to deal with.
"This ability is very good. It can produce unexpected results if used in the right place. You must use it properly." After experiencing it personally, Ivan was very satisfied with his ability.
"I know, it's best used to cheat people." Locke understood and smiled a little obscenely.
"Any other news?" "A few months ago, Wizard Doug successfully became a Level 3 wizard. He didn't hold a celebration party, nor did he send us any invitations. I could only send some gifts to his residence in Dongdu as a token of my appreciation."
"Not bad, what else?"
"Camille wrote me a letter. It shouldn't be anything important. I haven't opened it yet."
"Vice President Angus has asked you when you will be back. The city lord's internal affairs officer, Dorothy the Wizard, has also asked you once. I guess she needs your help with something."
“——”
Afterwards, Locke reported all the trivial matters in Dongdu, no matter how big or small, but none of them were big events. If there were any big events, someone would definitely come to Xunmu Tower to inquire every few days.
Ivan casually opened the letter from Came.
From the letter, we learned that the Black Prison had failed in its pursuit of Mond Wakin and had lost any clues about him. According to the Black Prison's inference, Mond was likely to have used the power of his family bloodline to become a third-level wizard, which was why he was able to escape the pursuit.
Came also said that they, the brother and sister, were appreciated and recommended, and would participate in the trials of the Black Prison and have the opportunity to become a member of the Black Prison.
This surprised Ivan. As far as he knew, the Black Prison's admission standards were very strict and these two people should not be able to meet them.
However, the Black Prison has great power. If the brother and sister can successfully join, it is undeniable that it is indeed a good place to go.
He put the letter out of his mind after reading it. Both Cam and his sister were first-level wizards, and it was not his turn to worry about their affairs. Everyone had his own path to follow.
As for Mond, the former dean of the Mona Ant Hut, he hoped that the other party would not cause any trouble, otherwise don't blame him for killing him.
……
In the northern region of China Continent, there is an inconspicuous medium-sized city - Red Pine City.
In a small manor in Red Pine City, Cam and Heidi, a brother and sister, live here. At this moment, they are discussing the upcoming trial for new recruits in the Black Prison.
"Cam! Did you hear what I said?" Heidi's unhappy voice was heard in the hall.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Came woke up as if from a dream.
"Look, you. The initial trial is about to begin. Why do you still look absent-minded? Are you doing this to your deceased grandmother and mother?" Heidi frowned and scolded.
"Sorry, sister."
Seeing her brother's apologetic and confused look, Heidi felt bad too.
After a pause, she sighed heavily.
"Sorry." Hearing the sigh, Came lowered her head and stammered.
"Carme, if you have any confusion in your heart, just tell me directly. I'm still the sister from my childhood and I won't hide anything from you, never." Heidi said.
Hearing this, Came raised his head and looked at her steadily for a long time before speaking hesitantly.
"Are you attached to Warden Agni? I'm not a fool. I know what I'm capable of."
"Yes, just as you guessed, I entrusted myself to Warden Agni, so he was willing to recommend you to the Black Prison." Heidi lowered her eyebrows and answered truthfully.
"I don't need it." Hearing her sister's words, Cam couldn't help but stand up from her chair.
"It's too late. There's no point in saying this now."
"My talent is not as good as yours, so why don't you go--"
"I can't do that. He won't allow me to participate in the rookie trial. You are the only one among us siblings who can participate. You must seize this rare opportunity for the Lidya family."
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have been so willful as to ignore the advice of Wizard Ivan. It's—"
Cam sat back in his chair, thinking back to the time in the wizard tower. If he had not refused to listen to other opinions and repeatedly asked Ivan to go to Thousand Light City, things would not have turned out like this.
"Cam! What I want to hear is not 'sorry' or 'sorry', but the good news that you passed the trial of Black Prison. Do you understand?" Heidi shouted with some disappointment.
Her scolding was a little loud, causing Came's body to tremble and she stared at her blankly.
"Anything else you want to ask?" Heidi took a deep breath, calmed her fluctuating emotions, and her voice became soft again.
"One last question. Why didn't you choose Ivan? He is obviously more suitable than Warden Agni. Besides, we talked about this matter accidentally when he was still an apprentice. He shouldn't reject you." Came asked after a moment of hesitation.
"There's not so much reason. I think Agni is more suitable, that's all." Heidi said lightly.
That person was obviously the grand elder of the academy and a member of the Mona Ant Hut. He enjoyed the admiration and support of everyone in the academy, but was indifferent to the death of the academy's wizards. How could she depend on such a person?
At this moment, Cam seemed to see through what she was thinking and the hatred she felt towards Ivan.
Came opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and in the end he said nothing. He was determined to seize the opportunity of the trial and fight for a way out for himself and Lydia's family. If he failed, he would die.
