Arriving at the spacious laboratory on the top floor of the White Tower, Gustav was fiddling with something on the experimental table. When he saw someone coming in, he stopped what he was doing and raised his head.
"You're here, Enzo," Gustave said.
Enzo nodded, looked around, and asked with some confusion: "Why don't you see Senior Byron?"
"Byron? He has gone into seclusion and plans to challenge the official wizard!" Gustav stepped down from the experimental table and said, "In order to successfully condense the magic crystal, Byron has been preparing for several months and decided to use [Guardian]
】The path to becoming an official wizard."
"Guardian?" Enzo thought thoughtfully.
Guardians and Conquerors represent the two major camps in the wizarding world, and also mean the two different paths that third-level apprentices choose before being promoted to official wizards.
As we all know, if a third-level apprentice wants to be promoted to a formal wizard, he must condense magic crystals!
Before the guardian wizard can condense the magic crystal, he first needs to split a part of his soul, and then communicate with the original will of the world through sacrifice. After receiving the gift of the will of the world, he relies on the power of rules to be promoted to an official wizard.
This method has a higher probability of being promoted to an official wizard, and failure will not endanger your life.
However, since you choose to rely on the power of rules to be promoted to an official wizard, it means that you will always be bound by the rules. Any guardian wizard is under the control of the will of the world. Once he leaves the wizard world, his power will be greatly weakened.
.
As for the conqueror wizards, they ignore the rules. The path they choose cannot rely on external forces to condense magic crystals. They can only burn their own vitality and solidify witchcraft in the body to be promoted to official wizards.
The failure rate of being promoted to an official wizard in this way is extremely high, and if you fail, you will definitely die.
But if it succeeds, the combat effectiveness of the conqueror wizards will far exceed that of the guardian wizards. They are not bound by rules and can maintain their best condition even when going on expeditions to other worlds.
Phantom of the Crows is a large wizard academy with nearly a thousand official wizards. However, 90% of them are guardian wizards, and there are less than a hundred powerful conqueror wizards.
"Byron is nearly a hundred years old, and his vitality has long been running out. It is natural for him to choose the path of a guardian and be promoted to an official wizard." Gustav shook his head slightly and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this for now."
"Enzo, come with me."
As Gustave spoke, he walked towards the outside of the laboratory, and Enzo quickly followed. After a while, the two of them arrived at another room on the top floor of the white tower.
Compared to the spacious laboratory, this room is only a few square meters, and there is nothing in it except a stone tablet.
"I'm not good at teaching, but since I have accepted you as a disciple, I have to teach you something." Gustav stroked his chin and said, "Put your hand on the stone tablet and let me test your physical data first."
"Testing physical data?" Enzo's heart moved and he stepped forward.
The palm of his hand was placed on the cold stone tablet. After a faint light flashed, three lines of numbers floated on the stone tablet: Strength: 2.8 Physique: 2.1 Spirit: 4.9.
"Is this my body data?" Enzo's eyes flashed, and he ordered in his mind: "chip, record the data information, and use this as the standard for calculation when performing data detection in the future."
"Ding! Data recording completed." A mechanical voice sounded in my mind.
At this time, Gustav also came over. After seeing the data on the stone tablet, he nodded slightly and said, "According to the standards of a second-level apprentice, a mental strength of 4.9 is not bad, but a physical strength of 2.1 is still too poor."
."
Enzo nodded thoughtfully and thought to himself, "Spiritual power represents the intensity of magic power, while physique and strength represent physical quality. Wizards cast spells mainly relying on their spirit, so the improvement of apprentice level only needs to be calculated based on mental power.
"
"Although wizards mainly rely on mental power to cast spells, the low strength and physical values will cause your melee ability to become a shortcoming." Turning around, Gustave looked at Enzo and said, "Continue.
When you come down, I plan to improve your strength and physique first."
After saying that, Gustav turned around and left the room, and the two returned to the laboratory again.
In the laboratory cabinet, Gustav took out a clay pot, opened the lid, grabbed a palm-long black centipede from it, and threw it into his mouth casually.
Crunch!
With a burst of chewing sounds, the living centipede struggled to be bitten into pieces. Green juice exploded in Gustav's mouth, and part of it even flowed out from the corners of his mouth.
Enzo felt a chill in his heart and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Segers centipede, an insect creature that carries 172 kinds of toxins." Ignoring the change in Enzo's face, Gustav chewed the centipede in his mouth and slowly said, "Eating this kind of thing for a long time can improve one's immunity to toxins."
resistance."
With that said, Gustav grabbed another Sigis centipede, handed it to Enzo, and ordered, "Now, eat it!"
Enzo's scalp felt numb for a while, so he grabbed the centipede that was still struggling, closed his eyes, gritted his teeth and threw it into his mouth. He chewed hard to crush the centipede, and the smelly juice suddenly exploded in his mouth.
"Alert! The host has eaten poisonous substances and is now in a state of poisoning..."
The sound of machinery rang in his mind, Enzo's face turned pale, cramping pains came from his abdomen, his heart beat violently in his chest, and his vision became blurred in the next moment.
"Uh...cough!" His face turned pale and he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
"Don't be afraid, use the magic power in your body to resist the poison!" Gustav said solemnly, "You have to adapt to this feeling of poisoning. Only in this way can you improve your resistance."
Enzo bit the tip of his tongue and regained some consciousness.
Then, he spread the magic power in his body throughout his body, and the abdominal pain suddenly eased, his heart beat gradually returned to normal, and his vision became clear.
"Huh!" After a moment, Enzo breathed out.
His face was pale, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and even his gray robe was soaked with sweat. He looked as if he had just been fished out of the water, but the toxins in his body had been dissolved by magic.
"Chip, detect body data." Enzo ordered in his heart.
After swallowing a Sigis centipede, Enzo's resistance to toxins has improved, and his physical fitness has also increased significantly by 0.1. However, due to the depletion of magic power in the body, Enzo is in a weak state.
