Chapter 424 Trial and Gain
Chapter 424 Trial and Gain
The Black Magic Fire Wire Array may seem like just a primary rune wizard array with 16 rune bundles, but the entry threshold requires an enchantment attainment close to that of a great enchanter, which means that most wizards cannot reach this threshold.
Different from the previous granting of the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array, this time, Ivan did not choose to share all his knowledge.
Instead, he let the qualified wizards comprehend it on their own. Whether they could comprehend the Black Magic Fire Array depended entirely on themselves. Ivan treated everyone equally. If they could not control it, they could only blame themselves for not being capable enough.
After handing over the formation, Ivan gained a sum of resources.
This is just the tuition paid by others, not rich, because it takes time for the results to show. President Hater said that when those wizards at the same level as him gain the power of favor, there will definitely be another generous reward, and there is also a favor of some size that cannot be avoided.
Ivan had no objection to this, and he also hoped to share some of the favor from the big guys.
In fact, the appearance of the Black Magic Fire Array did not cause much waves in the wizarding world. Most ordinary wizards and apprentices did not even know about it. The news was mainly spread among middle and high-level officials.
During this period, apart from receiving congratulatory messages from some people he knew, such as Solomon and Naniel, Ivan's normal life was not disrupted.
On this day, Dorothy came to Swiftwood Tower again.
"Mr. Ivan, I'm sorry to bother you with my visit." Dorothy no longer had the aggressive attitude she had before and lowered her attitude.
"You're too polite." Ivan didn't reject him at all.
"Mr. Ewen, I sincerely apologize for my previous rude behavior and hope to be forgiven." Dorothy was obviously determined and started apologizing before she even sat down.
"That's easy, Wizard Dorothy, just tell me what you want to say. If you want me to learn the Black Magic Fire Array, I'm sorry I can't agree. The guild has already set detailed rules, and I can't take the lead in violating them." Ivan said the ugly words in advance.
"No, not learning, but co-operation--" said Dorothy hastily.
She stated her proposal, which was actually the same as Ivan's proposal to Hotes. She would find and train suitable alien apprentices, and then let Ivan help them become official wizards.
"What a coincidence! I have specifically consulted the president about this matter. For you, the probability of obtaining the power of favor in this way is very low." Ivan was not surprised by her suggestion and shook his head slightly.
This was indeed not a lie, and of course, he had not deceived Speaker Hotes before.
He had a way to make adjustments based on the results until both parties could gain the power of favor, but if his partner was Dorothy, he didn't know how much energy he would need to spend on planning in the process.
Dorothy's enchantment attainment is too low, and the efficiency of helping her obtain the power of favor will be very low.
Secondly, Dorothy's status and position were far inferior to Hotes'. Once this door was opened, Ivan could foresee that more people would hear of it and come, bringing endless troubles.
Ivan doesn't ask for trouble.
After a while, Dorothy left Swiftwood Tower with deep disappointment. She was as dejected as she had been a few days ago.
After all, the path of a wizard depends on real talent and knowledge.
Dorothy herself had a weak foundation, so it was simply wishful thinking for her to expect to obtain something that was out of reach.
After she left, Ivan called Angela, the Silkworm Queen, the Fragrance Butterfly, the Wind Moth, the Swamp Ant, and the Fire Scorpion to ask them about something.
"Boss, what did you call us here for? Do you want to fight with anyone?" Locke also appeared, looking eager to try.
"I don't think I let you come over." Ivan said lightly.
"No?" Locke glanced at the Silkworm Queen and the Marsh Ant.
"Stand aside, I'm looking for them." Ivan waved at him, then looked at Angela and her group seriously: "Is there anyone among you who wants to learn meditation?" Upon hearing this, Ze Yi immediately dodged to the side and stood next to Locke consciously.
Seeing this, the Silkworm Queen and the Fire Scorpion followed suit. They knew too well how complicated the wizard's training was and did not want to make themselves uncomfortable.
As for Locke, he had studied the 'Blackbeard Movement' a long time ago, but never got the hang of it. It was clear that he was not cut out to be a wizard.
"I don't want to learn it either. As a Centaur knight, I must be true to the way of chivalry." Angela immediately expressed her opinion.
"It's up to you. What about you two?" Ivan didn't care. He knew that Angela was very keen on knight training and was trying to lure Helen, who was already very familiar with her, to join her. She was against other forms of training from the bottom of her heart.
The only ones who didn't express their opinions were Xiangdie and Fengmo.
The two swift wood silkworms looked at their mother, the Queen Silkworm, with some embarrassment.
"Wizard Ivan is asking you a question. What are you looking at me for? You don't want me to accompany you, do you? I won't learn anything. Learning too much will give me a headache." The Queen Silkworm glared at the two Swift Wood Silkworms, as if warning them not to involve her.
"Your mother has always been lazy, so don't worry about it," Ivan said.
After hearing his words, the Silkworm Queen wanted to say a few words to defend herself, but she was afraid of being drafted into the army, so she simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.
“We are willing to learn.”
Xiangdie and Fengmo looked at each other and nodded heavily, especially Fengmo, whose strength remained at the second level for a long time without any progress.
All these circumstances showed that its strength had reached the upper limit of its potential, and Wizard Ivan's attention to it had decreased significantly.
Wind Moth has a strong character, which forces it to suppress its temper and choose to try another path.
In fact, Wind Moth is not without strengths in wizard training.
Many years ago, it received the power of a wizard by chance, and was born with intelligence, transforming into an intelligent creature.
There is a certain connection between wind moths and wizards.
Ivan also knows this and is optimistic about Wind Moth in this regard.
However, he did not teach the meditation method directly. After all, there are too many differences between the Swift Wood Silkworm Clan and humans, and the meditation method needs major adjustments.
His proposal to teach meditation was not a spur of the moment, but a careful attempt and in-depth exploration of meditation.
Once Xunmucan succeeds in practicing meditation and even becomes a formal wizard, the scope of promoting the wizard training system will be huge, and the power of favor will be endless.
Nowadays, driven by many fourth-level wizards, teaching meditation methods to other races has become a general trend, and he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore.
It can't be that the person who learned the formation knowledge from him can do it, but he, the person who imparted the knowledge, can't do it.
No one knew that when other wizards turned their attention to alien races, the creator of the Black Magic Fire Array had already turned his attention to insect creatures.
Time passed quickly, and it was already three months later.
While Ivan was busy, he suddenly noticed an unusual movement not far away. A colorful force appeared in his laboratory for no reason. The power was filled with a familiar mysterious aura, and then fell into his body silently, which made him look refreshed.
If this isn’t the power of witchcraft’s favor, then what is it?
