Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 68 Elite Apprentice
"As I expected, the combined strength of my body and life energy has reached over 10 degrees!
This is already the Great Knight stage!
Next, the materialization of spiritual power should be completed thoroughly.

By then, I'll be an elite apprentice like Sophia and Oren, and I'll have the money to compete there!"

After returning from the training ground, Roy sat on a chair in the room and gently fiddled with the rat snake's head.

The rat snake's soft body wrapped around Roy's arm, its eyes narrowed slightly into slits, with a hint of laziness.

It seemed to be enjoying this intimate caress, and its tongue occasionally stretched out gently to feel the surrounding air.

But soon, Roy caught him and took a syringe with the needle removed and filled it with blood mercury.

"Don't waste good things!"

……

In the following days, Roy no longer cared much about the Great Knight's physique and strength, because for a wizard, it was just a basic configuration.

Like Sophia, you might as well just seek to change your body and not have to worry about your figure or appearance.

What he is considering now is to materialize all 24 will runes and achieve a spiritual qualitative change.

Over the past few months, he did not forget these things while refining blood mercury, and he made steady progress in parallel.

During this period, Renien and others also worked hard and completed several well-paid tasks in succession, and first paid back part of the money owed to Roy for the potion.

Another day, Rainien came and paid off the last installment.

"You seem very busy lately?" Roy asked after receiving it.

"I can't help it. Even though I've already successfully entered the inheritance sequence, I still have Andov and Tigro to pull the cart with me. It's very hard for the old horse to pull the cart."

Renien complained a few words, half jokingly.

Roy's face remained expressionless, but his brows were slightly raised.

There is a hint of disdain in these words.

Roy couldn't tell whether he was speaking carelessly or had harbored resentment for a long time.

“By the way, I want to continue improving, so I’ll buy another 200 ml of blood mercury from you.

But I don't have any magic stones, how about exchanging them for two bottles of elemental potions I refined myself?"

While thinking, Renien asked.

"As you know, after I mastered 'element refining', I chose the popular fire element attribute.

This can be used to brew other things, such as elemental damage potions or elemental resistance potions."

Roy thought for a moment and said, "I don't have much need for these. Just give me two alchemical bombs."

He had already mastered this kind of thing, so there was no need for him to do it himself.

Renien said, "That's fine, but I only have one on hand right now. How about I sell it on credit and give it to you in a week?"

Roy nodded: "Of course."

……

Soon, it was mid-November.

Roy successfully materialized all 24 will runes.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, with chains extending from behind him.

Each link of the chain is a materialized rune of will. Under the pull of light, it is like a feather of light or a tentacle, constantly disturbing the surroundings.

As if the rhythm of ripples on water was emerging, he felt an indescribable, yet substantial, transformation that had indeed taken place.

Although there was no significant increase in his spiritual power, the qualitative change allowed him to immediately truly understand the secret of becoming a formal wizard.

"So...that's what happened!"

As early as when he was promoted to senior apprentice, Roy had read the "Precautions" and knew that quasi-wizard and elite apprentice were just colloquial terms.

They still belong to the advanced apprentice sequence. But when the apprentices have all 24 will runes fully materialized, the total mental strength will reach above 5 degrees.

The power of the prying spell is above 10 degrees!
This is indeed far beyond the ordinary apprentices and can be called an elite.

The key to future advancement is to condense the "source of magic power" and shape the "wizard's motto".

The former is an invisible core similar to the Warcraft crystal core, the source of mana, and the key to casting spells.

The latter is a mark engraved deep in the soul, equivalent to the existence of creed, vow and commandment.

That is the sublimation of the essence of the soul.

Only when these two steps are achieved, combined with the strong physique of a senior knight or a grand knight, can the unification of body, life and soul be achieved and promotion be achieved.

"I heard before that Oren already had the capital to be promoted, but he was deliberately suppressing it. I found it strange...

Now it seems that he has definitely condensed the "Source of Magic" into shape and has also gained some understanding of the "Wizard's Motto". Only the last step remains!
Someone like him only needs to clearly declare his "Wizard's Motto" like chanting a spell to be promoted immediately!"

Roy checked the information again and confirmed that the road ahead was clear.

This is indeed a transcendent existence among apprentices.

However, things like the source of magic were relatively easier to come by. However, he still had doubts about choosing and clarifying his own wizard motto.

This kind of thing is a bit like a vow and also like a motto.

It is also a prophecy of one's future destiny.

If the motto is well chosen, whether doing good or evil, everything will go smoothly.

But the choice is poor or not suitable for you.

Otherwise, you will go down an unknown wrong path.

This is not just the influence of the world's will, but also the mysterious power of destiny.

"Forget it, I don't have any clue for the moment, so I'd better condense the "Source of Magic" into shape first.

Maybe by then, inspiration will come naturally.”

After thinking for a while, Roy closed the book and walked out of the room.

In fact, it’s not just inspiration, the overall environment is more important.

It might be a great opportunity for everyone to go on an adventure to the Cretaceous Country and circulate the treasures they obtain.

Now that the day of the Dark Star's blast is approaching, and I have already reached the level of an elite apprentice as planned, it is time to make more specific plans and preparations.

……

Not long after, Roy arrived at Sophia's residence and knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was Celine, who was cleaning in a maid outfit with a broom in her hand.

"I'm looking for senior Sophia." Roy said to her and walked in.

"Roy, what's wrong with you?"

Inside the room, this senior sister who I had known for a long time was reading a book and seemed to be busy.

Suddenly, she noticed something, looked up suddenly and stared at him closely.

“This spiritual texture…

You have materialized all the will runes, and are you ready to begin refining the source of magic power?"

Roy said, "Senior sister, you have good eyesight."

"I really underestimated you before. I didn't expect that among the newcomers in recent years, you would be the first to reach this level!"

Sophia exclaimed in admiration and waved her hand, motioning Celine to bring a chair over for him to sit on.
