Volume One, The Wizard's World Chapter Sixty-Eighth, So True and Unexpected
The source of a wizard's power is divided into positive and negative energy and spiritual power.
The positive and negative energy comes from heaven and earth. The wizard at each stage can only absorb a certain amount of energy at a fixed time. After the time is exceeded, the body cannot hold it, and the daily growth limit reaches the limit, and the absorbed energy will escape. It is in vain.
It is useless to practice, so the time for wizards to practice every day is very limited.
If you want to increase the upper limit of the body's capacity as much as possible, you can only use various secret recipes and magic potions, but these are expensive and most wizards cannot afford them.
However, although Ian was poor, he was not unaffordable. He touched the bulging belt and smiled silently.
The method of improving mental power is very simple. Apart from this fatal opportunity given by the gods, only the magic stone can improve it.
From a practical point of view, the stronger the wizard's mental power, the more subtle their ability to control magic spells and things. For wizards who pay attention to observation and induction, nothing is more important than this. Therefore, the wizard's desire for the magic stone can be described as
Crazy, this is why Ian Sour Roger, how important a good teacher is. At least you won't have to worry about where to get some magic stones to use.
At night, Ian opened a bottle of witchcraft mixture, took small sips, drank about one-tenth of it, then carefully closed it and put it back in his belt pocket.
In an instant, he felt that his five senses were extremely sensitive, the sound of rising and falling tides could be heard around him, and Ian fell into a deep state of cultivation.
On the second day, after discussing with Roger, they decided to split up. The four cavalrymen went to the surrounding countryside in groups of two. As for the magic stone used for detection, Roger solved the problem. And he and Warren
, Roger, also divided into two groups, searching in the urban area.
After knowing their respective locations and villages, the two groups quickly left the city with their mission. They would go out for about a week and bring back the apprentice candidates they found until they visited six villages.
At this time, the advantage of the nobles came into play. Ian Hyde, the son of the earl, was able to mobilize a team of cavalry to help him complete the mission, but Sheen and Marcus had to go and find them one by one.
Without further ado, Ian took Warren to the address given by Aqil, ready to try his luck there.
The girls' school is located in the depths of Carshalton Gardens, a two-story building surrounded by ancient high walls covered with rich moss, No. 72 Carshalton Gardens. If there is a reader with an extraordinary memory, then he
Another address immediately comes to mind: No. 27 Carshalton Gardens, home of Young Adventurers Ltd., a company owned by the shrewd and capable Miss Pentas and her partner Tommy, but he has no need of these two today.
An "expensive" friend.
The girls' school is closed all year round. Behind the tall iron gate, there are no scenes of little girls playing inside. They are either leaning under the grape trellis and reading, or sitting on the lawn and whispering. The youth garden is quiet and quiet.
But beneath this scene of youth, there is a vague air of twilight.
Ian's eyes passed over the expressionless faces of the girls, without any thought.
Warren stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a while, a tall and thin woman wearing a black robe and a black and white headscarf came to answer the door. Seeing that it was two men, she subconsciously frowned and asked: "Two gentlemen,
What are you doing?"
Seeing that she had no intention of opening the door, Warren was about to speak when he heard Ian say: "Madam, I'm here for Whittier Achilles." It was not clear from the other party's attire whether she was married, but Ian said
Then he addressed the other party as lady, "I am Hyde Catherine, and this is my attendant Warren Burton."
"Catherine?" The woman read the word, and Ian nodded, "Yes, Willie Catherine is my uncle."
The woman obviously knew Willy's name, but she still didn't open the door. She just said: "Please wait a moment, I will ask the dean." After that, she hurried back to the house.
"Master, who is Willy Catherine? I don't remember that your family has this relative." Warren asked from the side. Who the hell is Hyde Catherine? Is the name of the Hyde family so hard to use? He
Can't help but feel a little dissatisfied.
When Ian saw that no one had arrived yet, he said: "He is a business partner of mine. He is very powerful in Appleton, so I plan to borrow his name." Naturally, he would not say that he had one.
Maybe he was being hunted secretly and didn't dare to reveal his name. If Warren sent someone back to tell Earl Hyde, he would be in trouble.
Warren sighed when he heard this and believed his young master's words without any doubt.
After a while, the woman moved the door open a small crack, and Ian and Warren both turned sideways to get in.
Two strange men suddenly broke into the girls' school. Young girls who could only see the same sex all year round hid behind the windows and peeked. Only then did Ian realize that there were so many girls of his own age in the girls' school.
Suddenly, he turned his head and looked towards the corner corridor on the left. A figure just passed by there and quickly disappeared.
"So familiar!" Ian looked away, his eyes drooping.
Warren couldn't hear clearly, so he asked in a low voice: "What did you say?"
Ian glanced at the woman leading the way, turned his head and whispered instructions to Warren.
…
The principal's office is in the sunniest room in the whole building. The principal looks to be in his fifties, but his real age should be around forty-one or two, and he has a kind face.
When the old woman saw Ian coming in, she asked: "This young man, who are you from Whittier?"
Ian shook his head and replied: "I have nothing to do with Whittier. I just got Achill's permission to come here to confirm something with Whittier."
The old woman looked at him and asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, can you tell me what you want to confirm? I think, as Whittier's guardian, I have the right to know all this."
"Of course!" Ian nodded, but he didn't say what the specific matter was. He just replied, "Invite Whittier. Everything will be clear by then."
The old woman was naturally dissatisfied with such an answer, but she was well-educated and still listened to Ian's words.
Whittier was quickly brought over. She glanced at Ian suspiciously but secretly, lifted up her skirt and saluted the old woman and asked in a low voice: "Principal Nancy, what do you want to see me for?"
The old woman walked up to her, pointed at Ian and said, "It's not me who is looking for you, but Mr. Hyde Catherine. He said that he was entrusted by your father to come to you to confirm something."
"What's the matter?" Whittier raised his head and asked in a surprised voice.
The old woman patted her shoulder comfortingly and said to the young man looking at her: "Then I have to ask Mr. Catherine."
Ian could hear the old woman's dissatisfaction, but he was also afraid that the other party would hide Whittier directly after hearing his purpose, which would make him uncomfortable. Now that the person has arrived, he will not hide it.
Tucked in.
He was worried whether Principal Nancy would agree to let him take the person away, so he tried to speak as gently as possible: "It's not a big deal, I just want to make sure Miss Whittier has the qualifications."
"Qualifications?"
Whittier didn't understand what Ian was talking about, but after the old woman chewed it a few times, she was suddenly startled. She subconsciously held Whittier behind her, her body couldn't help shaking, and she said in fear: "You, you
Are you a wizard?"
"Wizard!" Whittier, who was hiding behind the old woman, quietly revealed his head at this time and looked at him curiously, showing no trace of his shy look just now.
"Yes!" Ian didn't know what to say. Are wizards so common now? Anyone can guess his identity.
But he didn't realize that only an unscrupulous group like wizards would do something like a stranger randomly coming to his door to test a child's aptitude. Besides, Appleton also has the Wizards' Alliance, which sends children to the Alliance Academy every year.
There are hundreds of them, but only a few are successful so no one publicizes them.
After the old woman received a positive answer, she refused to let go. She said to Ian: "Master Wizard, please go, I won't let Whittier go with you."
His breath was trembling and his tone was firm.
"Why?"
His breath was short and his tone was doubtful.
No, what kind of prejudice do you have against wizards? We are extraordinary beings, how could anyone not aspire to become extraordinary?
"No reason, please leave quickly, or I will call the police later!" The old woman tried to threaten him, which made Ian laugh angrily.
"Well, the police station can't control wizards. Since you care about students so much, I would like to remind you that next time you go directly to the Judicial Inquisition. This department is responsible for the extraordinary ones." Ian smiled and said to the old man
the woman said.
Then, he took out a magic stone and said to the old woman: "Principal, I think you can't stop me. We can try to solve the problem peacefully before things get worse. Let her feel it and see her reaction.
Bar."
He tried his best to appear non-aggressive. To be honest, he quite admired the character displayed by the other party, so he did not use force directly.
"Don't even think about it!" the old woman said firmly.
Just when Ian was thinking about where to start to achieve his goal without hurting the opponent, he saw Whittier behind Nancy suddenly emerge from the opponent's armpit. The little girl's face was red, and she grabbed the
A fourth-level magic stone.
"Ah, Whittier, come back!" Nancy had to endure her fear and approached Whittier and tried to pull her back behind her.
But Whittier ignored Nancy and instead plucked up the courage to ask.
"Sir, what should I do?"
The sudden change made the old woman dumbfounded. She looked at the good girls she had taught in disbelief, and suddenly realized that she didn't actually know these little girls that well.
Ian smiled and said softly: "Close your eyes, empty your mind, and wait for time to pass."
Whittier nodded, she raised her head, revealing her freckled face, and closed her eyes solemnly.
The principal's office fell silent for an instant.
Ten minutes later, a young voice said: "Sir, are there any stars around?"
Hahaha!
Ian showed a satisfied smile, and within ten minutes he sensed the spiritual gossamer escaping from the magic stone. He had a good talent: "Of course, this is your own starry sky, future witch!"
