After returning to Norton Hill, Will and Alfo completely lost news, as if they had never appeared.

And Abel has disappeared without a trace since he had a big quarrel with Capas and never appeared in front of people again.

Because there have been no awakened ones except Whittier and Arabella in the past few years, and the basic courses have been taught long ago, and the new apprentices do not have to worry about the talented ones, so even if Ian has been awakened for so many years,

It is unclear where the gifted people in Norton Mountain are hiding.

How could he be such a homebody, never seeing the light of day or seeing anyone for months and months? Compared to the mentors who would show up from time to time, Ian felt that they were the most mysterious existences.

As for the largest number of Sentinels, they were hidden in the deepest part of Norton Mountain without a trace. Therefore, for a while, only Ian and the apprentices were active in the entire monastery. If it were not known that this place was the entire Navia Peninsula.

The largest wizarding group, Ian thought he had joined some unscrupulous force.

Because he lost all his wealth, Ian could not quietly absorb the magic stone to quickly increase his mental power like others.

However, he is not at a loss. In the past few years, he has not been in the monastery. He has accumulated nearly a hundred and four level magic stones as a subsidy. He also received the mission of Jacques-Luc Zion before, so he has tens of thousands of contribution points that can be redeemed.

Magic stone.

After repairing for a night, he found Sheen and received the subsidies for the past few years, a total of 157 fourth-level magic stones, and spent more than 500 contribution points in exchange for two bottles of Chaos Spirit, which is an excellent way to enhance negative energy.

Although the potion is not as good as the witchcraft mixture produced by the gods, it is still better than Ian himself absorbing the energy of heaven and earth.

After having his upper limit of mental power and negative energy increased by Hunter's Obelisk three times in a row, he urgently needed resources to quickly improve his strength. After all, it had been seven years since he awakened, and most of the awakened people should have completed their mental power and

With the accumulation of negative energy, you need to start preparing for promotion.

"The Magic Stone can be given to you now, but the Spirit of Chaos needs to issue a mission and ask the potions to prepare it, so you may have to wait for a while." Sheen knew about Jacques, so it was not surprising that Ian's huge contribution value appeared.

.

"How long do you have to wait?" Ian was not surprised. After all, alchemy potions have always been expensive and unmarketable. In most cases, the monastery had to prepare them temporarily, and it would be impossible to buy them outside.

"Two or three days if it's fast, one or two weeks if it's slow." Sheen suggested based on experience, "I'll deduct your contribution first, and I'll send an apprentice to notify you after the potion is completed."

Ian nodded, having no objection to this, and then went back to absorb the magic stone.

After absorbing the magic stone and drinking the potion, Ian spent half a year like this, the drug tolerance reaction of the spirit of chaos appeared, and he had to switch to another more expensive alchemical potion. This made him feel distressed and also

I can't help but miss the magic mixture that always works 100%.

However, although the tolerance to the medicine appeared, his four to five thousand contribution points were still in vain. The negative energy in his body increased sharply, allowing him to sneak out and fight with Valen several times. Although it was still

He lost, but at least when he wanted to leave, Warren couldn't catch up. Because as long as he was cruel, the total energy could activate the flying spell, and the speed of 60 miles per hour was no joke.

Time passed by in a hurry, and there was still no apprentice awakening this year. However, an accident occurred near the end of the year, causing the number of apprentices to drop sharply from forty to seventeen. What no one expected was that the murderer of this accident was actually

Alfo disappeared for a year.

It turned out that after Alfo suddenly woke up after sleeping for nearly a year, his extremely strong bloodthirsty desire made him instinctively drive the remaining divine power in his body to escape from the cage set by Capas, causing the deaths of twenty-three peripheral apprentices.

, there was even a person that Ian and other awakened people were optimistic about, but he was instantly sucked into a mummy without even having time to react.

If Capas hadn't arrived in time, not only the apprentices, but also the four Ians who also lived outside would have suffered, and another group annihilation would have occurred.

Only then did everyone realize that Alfo had been transformed into a vampire, a bloodthirsty monster who was afraid of sunlight and silverware.

Half a month after the tragedy, Elfo appeared in front of people again, which immediately caused people's discomfort. No one wanted to get too close to a powerful monster that could lose control at any time. Judging from the intensity of the negative energy field remaining at the scene that day

, Elfo, at least starting as Viscount, can basically kill most of the awakened ones instantly.

Such an obvious source of danger made everyone want to attack immediately, but what prevented them from doing so was Capas beside him, and the new mentor behind Elfo, Consul Black, who would sacrifice anything for him.

Tingsi, with these two high-ranking figures protecting him, everyone could only silently distance themselves from Alfo without daring to harm him.

However, Capas was definitely not willing to see the low-level wizards' silent isolation of Elfo, so there was the matter of Ian being forcibly designated as Elfo's temporary guardian by Capas.

"Since you brought Elfo back, then you should be responsible for teaching him." Capas just left these irresponsible words and left, making Ian extremely uneasy and troubled at the same time.

When everyone saw this, they breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they couldn't help but feel great sympathy for Ian. Why are all the unfortunate things in the monastery these years related to him? This man is too unlucky.

Ian didn't feel unlucky. He knew all the causes and consequences of the whole incident, and his sympathy for Elfo was greater than his fear. However, he was obviously unhappy with what Capas said after that.

"I didn't bring him back alone, why do you need me to be the nanny?" Ian glanced at someone hiding in the crowd in the distance and muttered angrily.

After a long while, he said to Alfo, who had a frightened face: "Let's go, kid, let's find a place to stay first."

(Also... welcome to rebirth!)

…

Time entered 1666, and the opening drama of the Hydrian Monastery occurred, that is, the promoted wizards appeared again in Norton Mountain-Marcus Wood and Arthur Elliot, both of whom awakened at the same time in February.

Being promoted to a gifted person was something that made all the mentors happy. Suddenly, selecting mentors for the two people became a key task of the monastery during that period. Almost all the mentors came back specially.

They all extended olive branches to the two of them.

There is joy above, but the atmosphere below is gloomy. The reason is that the talents of the two people who were promoted this time are not the best in the same period, but they were the first to be promoted, and they both had bloodline awakening without the help of external forces. This makes other people with noble backgrounds

How to have a good time with talented wizards.

In particular, Sandy Taylor and Paige Armstrong, the two most senior awakened ones in the monastic order, were unable to awaken due to their own bloodline, and were unwilling to settle for ordinary-level talent formula promotion. They wasted years in the awakened rank.

The sourness and jealousy in people's hearts are most obvious.

Sheen didn't know whether he was numb or he no longer had any expectations for his promotion. He expressed congratulations to the two of them for their promotion. He was even afraid that Ian and Jasmine were as mentally unbalanced as Sandy.

I deliberately pulled the two of them out for a chat.

Jasmine expressed her gratitude to Xian very implicitly, but judging from the fact that she didn't go out again the next day, she was still unconvinced after thinking about it. However, due to her arrogance and upbringing, she would never admit it.

and showed a hint of jealousy.

Only Ian really doesn't care about this matter. He has nothing to be convinced about. He is just a little unhappy that someone like Marcus is promoted, even though he knows that Marcus's talent ranks second among the three and is much better than him.

.

As for being the first to be promoted, it has nothing to do with him. Wizards can't completely rely on level to suppress them. After promotion, do you dare to say that you can really crush lower wizards?

Ian absolutely doesn't believe it. The worst I can do is drag you to death with my flying spell. The combat effectiveness of the air force is not comparable to that of infantry.

Moreover, if he hadn't raised the upper limit of mental power and negative energy three times in a row, he would have reached the stage of testing bloodline attributes and activating talents. Marcus took the first step. He and Jasmine were still accumulating, but promotion was only a matter of time.

So there's nothing to worry about. Jasmine's jealousy stems from her unwillingness to admit defeat and has no bad intentions.

Consul also took the time to come back, but he specially gave Alfo a space ring. He then took him to see Dean Hercules and stayed there for a long time before returning.

Later, when I met with Ian, I saw that his mental power and negative energy had not reached the upper limit, so he did not mention the talent formula. He just told Ian that if he needed the talent formula in the future, he could go to Tutor Lucius.

He had already said hello, and thanked Ian for taking care of Alfo during this period, and then left in a hurry. Judging from his expression, it was obvious that things in the Western Region were not going well.

Ian speculated on Consul's tone and felt that there was something going on, so he pulled Alfo and asked: "Boy, what did Mr. Consul say when he took you to see the dean today?"

Alfo glanced at him and secretly thought that although Mr. Hyde had a bad attitude, he was a good person. He could tell him this. Besides, he didn't know much about what happened today. Maybe he could know the truth from Ian Hyde.

.

Then he said: "Actually, I don't know too much, because today my uncle asked the dean to remove the blood shackles between me and a man named Will. Mr. Hyde, do you know who Will is and what the shackles are about?"

?”

Ian was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should tell him the truth of the matter. After all, the truth was too cruel to him.

Originally, Alfo was just a middle-schooler who was full of fantasies about the world. However, he was sealed away for four or five years due to the Apocalypse. After that, his family was tragically wiped out. Now even Appleton is gone. If you tell him everything, this

A boy whose memory remains before the year-end festival will definitely collapse.

(It’s just...is it really good to keep hiding it all this time?)

Ian sighed silently, but he couldn't think of a better way. For the current plan, he could only take one step at a time.

After making up his mind, he said calmly: "This matter is a bit complicated. You will understand it in the future, but how did the dean answer?"

If Hercules has the ability to dissolve the master-servant relationship between the two, then Alfo will be truly free.

But I heard Alfo shake his head and say: "I don't know."

"Huh?" Ian looked over doubtfully and asked again, "I don't know what it means. Didn't the dean express his position in person?"

He saw Alfo shaking his head again, and he was confused as to what he meant by keeping shaking his head.

"He said it, but I couldn't hear him!" I heard Alfo's angry and dissatisfied voice.
