Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 104 Conclusion of the Contract
"Please tell me."

Roy pretended to listen attentively.

Frost said: "I have read your information and learned that the witchcraft inheritance you chose is "Revitalization", and I am also familiar with this witchcraft.

However, my specialty is not in my own activation, but in crafting golems."

"Golem?"

"To be precise, it's something that evolved from a living fossil statue and has been infused with a soul..."

Roy immediately thought of the guard he had met in the apple orchard.

Frost said, "I once served in the Immortal Legion under the Stonemasons Guild. My main focus was Centaur sculptures, including various clay figurines, stone statues, wood carvings, and bronze statues..."

Later, he gradually made breakthroughs in the stone statue branch and used it as the final innate witchcraft engraved in his soul.

That’s why I chose to stay in Knightland.”

"Genius witchcraft..."

Roy's heart moved slightly.

This sounds a bit similar to my own alchemical talent, and it might even be the same thing!

However, he has not been promoted yet, and Frost did not mention it much.

He simply continued, “I have my own industry and subordinates in Knightland, so I plan to use correspondence to provide education, including self-study of textbooks and answering questions via correspondence.

After you are promoted to a formal wizard, you can come to Knightland and fulfill the service obligations in the wizard contract.

My rule is that once you have 60 years of service or are promoted to the second level as required by the league, you are officially considered a member of the team."

……

More than an hour later.

Roy left the communications room with a thoughtful look on his face.

It's not surprising that Frost is reluctant to come back.

Because they could take away external resources at will, some even served as governors and emperors in mature colonies and could act tyrannically.

Frosf is the current Governor of Knightland, who has been operating in the outside world for a long time.

Serving teachers is also a common way to give back.

Wizards have lifespans far exceeding those of ordinary people; 60 years is a common limit, and some mentors may even live up to 80 or 100 years.

What’s worse, graduation is delayed for 10 years.

The records left by Sophia and the others mentioned a case where someone spent 200 years successfully becoming a third-level wizard before graduating, only to kill his teacher with his own hands as the first thing he did...

Since then, the wizarding world has also appropriately revised the rules, and promotion to level two allows one to break the terms and be forced to go out on a mission.

……

A few days later.

The third floor of the Witch Tower, the communications room.

Roy signed his name on an ancient parchment scroll and concentrated his spiritual power into it, imprinting his secret mark on it.

He immediately signed a contract with Frost and formally established a teacher-student relationship.

Watching the scroll float up, gradually burning, and disappearing into thin air as a wisp of green smoke, he sensed that something seemed to have appeared in his mind.

The spiritual thoughts were connected, and after being touched, it was seen that it was in the form of thoughts, a translucent scroll phantom similar to the alchemical talent.

The above stipulates the rights and obligations of both parties, as well as relevant supplementary explanations.

This is the standard contract shared by all Wuta, with only a few small rules customized by Frost added as supplementary clauses.

Roy was very satisfied with this. He stood up and bowed to the other person's figure, patting his chest and saluting, "Teacher!"

Frost said, "Very good, Roy. From now on, you are my disciple. I will pass on the witchcraft tradition related to the golem to you as soon as possible, but before that, I require you to learn the carving techniques on your own!"

"Carving?" Roy was not surprised. This was the basis of golem-type witchcraft.

“Carving is an art, and it is also one of the roots of revitalizing witchcraft traditions.

A skilled sculptor can use his skillful hands to give life and soul to cold stone, wood and metal.

Carefully study the material properties, meticulously design the structure of the work, and patiently polish the details of the sculpture...

The persistence and focus, the emotion and will poured into it will make the sculpture full of spirituality.

At this point, it will become art.”

Frost began to lecture.

"When you truly understand this, you can add crucial things to the spell model."

Roy seemed to understand. "I see. It's just like when I raised a snake as a pet to learn the art of 'animation' and simulate the way a python strangles its prey."

Frost said: "Yes, if you come to Knightland, I will give you some real Centaur subordinates.

You have to live with them, have close contact with them, and become familiar with the civilization, customs, habits, and even individual emotions, temperaments, and everything else of these sub-human monsters!

Only in this way can you inject soul into your witchcraft and create vitality that is truly sufficient to demonstrate the value of life!

I don't have the talent that Lord Blid has. It was during the process of learning sculpture that I realized the true meaning of "equivalent exchange" and put it into practice, which enabled me to be successfully promoted.

The principles of idealism vary from person to person, but as a teacher, I will show you the way.

You don't necessarily have to take this path, but you must fully understand it, and even practice it yourself, in order to deeply understand it all.

Now tell me what you know so I can arrange your next study plan."

Roy pondered for a moment, then vaguely mentioned the knowledge and abilities of [Sulphur and Mercury Theory] and [Darkness] that he had acquired from his alchemical talent as "the harvest of sweat and hard work."

But the [Eye of Hermes] and other innate abilities were deliberately concealed.

Frost said, "You're quite talented. You've mastered such difficult content by yourself..."

However, it is miscellaneous and lacks systematization!
We must set a goal that matches the "activation technique" and delve deeper into it."

Systematized?
This was the word translated from the wizard language in Roy's mind, and he vaguely felt the same way.

So I listened carefully to his arrangements.

Sculpture, craftsmanship, biology (centaurs), runes, spiritual studies...

The teacher’s customized correspondence course was thus established.

Roy was secretly happy.

Among them, it seems that I don’t need to learn the [craftsman skills].

Talent is equivalent to being born with knowledge!
At the end of the communication, Roy asked a question that was crucial to him at the moment.

"Teacher, how can I use the 'Wizard's Motto' to elevate my body, mind, and soul and achieve my goal of becoming a full-fledged wizard?"

Frost pondered for a moment and told him, "First, you have to believe it!"

"A letter?" Roy was slightly stunned.

"Yes, I believe in and practice your motto as if it were a belief in a god.

This is a way of self-affirmation, a creed, and a vow.

That’s all I can say. The rest is up to you to understand.”

Do you believe it and practice it?

Roy seemed to understand, but not quite, as if he had realized something.
