Wizard: You can become stronger by living life to the fullest.

Chapter 94, Section 042: The Difficulty in Advancing Wizard-Level Knowledge

A few days later, a new group of wizards arrived at the castle to teach magical combat courses; they were all black-robed enforcers.

The Black-Robed Enforcers are a violent law enforcement agency in the Southern Coast Witch Domain. All the wizards within the agency are selected from apprentices with high combat skills from various wizard organizations, and occasionally they even recruit a few black wizards from the Black Witch Domain.

It is probably the strongest wizarding department in terms of combat capabilities in the South Coast Wizarding Domain.

With the arrival of these black-robed enforcers, the castle's curriculum has undergone significant changes. The magic combat course, which used to be held only once every two weeks, has suddenly increased more than tenfold, accounting for 30% of the entire schedule, and it continues to rise.

The magical combat courses have also shifted from a perfunctory formalism to a more practical approach, with battles taking place in different terrains such as ruins, forests, and urban areas, including one-on-one, one-on-many, and many-on-many magical combat.

People were getting injured every day, and many female apprentices who couldn't adapt started crying. The apprentices were also full of complaints.

However, the black-robed enforcers didn't care about such things. In principle, they trained the apprentices to the point of death if they couldn't be killed, and any apprentices who dared to resist would be punished mercilessly with magic.

In mild cases, the victim might be turned into a frog and thrown into a pile of poisonous snakes to reflect on their actions; in severe cases, they might be beaten half to death, wrapped in bloody thorns, and hung on the outer wall as a public spectacle.

From then on, no one dared to disobey or court death.

Such combat training was not limited to the Elemental Castle. The eight major wizarding organizations, including the Sage's Hut and the Ice Tower, as well as other large and small wizarding organizations, began to conduct intensive training in combat magic.

The entire southern coastal witch realm has begun to shift away from its previous peaceful mode.

More than a month later, in Luo Xi's dormitory.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted!"

As soon as Nicole entered the dormitory, she collapsed onto the bed. Today's magic training class involved fighting clay golems, and her fire magic was completely overwhelmed.

As Rosie took off his cloak, he called out to her, "Get up quickly, it's time to prepare the Dawn Recovery Potion today."

"Ah~~~~~No! No!"

Nicole writhed and squirmed on the bed, clearly not wanting to go anywhere.

Luo Xi didn't say anything, but just walked over and looked at her.

Nicole lay on the bed and pulled down the straps of her cloak, revealing her beautiful shoulders and most of her snow-white breasts.

She said seductively, "Come and play~"

Luo Xi raised his eyebrows.

Nicole sighed, then pulled her cloak tighter and got out of bed: "Fine, fine."

She didn't know what was wrong with Rosie lately, as she suddenly became focused on tutoring her in potion-making, and she was so serious that she showed no mercy whatsoever, even more so than those black-robed idiots.

After repeatedly offending and even angering Rosie, Nicole finally dared not disobey Rosie's wishes anymore and obediently and earnestly began to study.

Under Rosie's personal guidance and supervision, Nicole's potion-making skills have made great strides. She has basically figured out the knowledge that she couldn't understand before, and she can even make some low-level potions herself.

It's important to know that potion-making is one of the more difficult courses in magic. During the three-year training period, only a small number of students passed, and even fewer were able to brew potions themselves.

Nicole's ability to go from a potions novice to someone who can brew potions in such a short time is enough to show that she has indeed put in the effort.

laboratory.

"Mixed with half a portion of morning dew collected from the ground"

"The light of a new moon"

"Two sprigs of resveratrol"

"One millstone, a drop of water for life, two parts hope."

Nicole recited the recipe as she added ingredients to the large crucible, stirring with a long spoon.

Under the influence of magic, the transparent liquid in the pot turned dark green, then reddish and gradually became deep purple. Puffs of mysterious smoke rose from it, and with a "pop," a deep blue liquid remained in the pot.

Nicole scooped the liquid out and placed it on gauze to filter out the impurities. She then poured the purified potion into a magic potion bottle and handed it to Rosie.

"Ahem! Well then, Professor Luo Xi, please check my homework."

Rosie took a look and could clearly see the rich life force within it under her elemental vision. She could also feel the vigorous life force when she smelled it. It was clear that this was a qualified restorative potion.

"Complete one potion-making lesson for Nicole, time points +3 days."

Luo Xi's furrowed brows finally relaxed.

He nodded: "Not bad. Of all the times you've concocted potions, this is your best performance yet."

At this rate, with a couple more practice sessions and guidance on how to get her to publish a paper in a third-rate magic journal, there shouldn't be any problem. Once she has a paper as a foundation, things will be easier to arrange.

"They did their homework afterward, you know?" Nicole rolled her eyes at Rosie.

Then, she sat up straight in her chair, presented her large, firm breasts to Luo Xi, and teased him, "So, Professor Luo Xi, what do you think we should do next?"

As she spoke, her fingers gently traced across the back of Luo Xi's hand.

Sigh, since you've been so blatantly seducing me...

Let's do something then.

While guiding Nicole, Rosie also kept up with her own training progress.

Even after reaching the wizard level, he still hasn't mastered a single wizard-level spell.

This is mainly because he had only learned apprentice-level magic knowledge before, and had not mastered much of the relevant wizard-level magic courses. This part is also high-level magic knowledge that cannot be learned casually.

He searched through several libraries in the castle and only found a few wizard-level spell models, but he couldn't progress with them all because of his lack of basic magical knowledge.

This is really frustrating.

He then made a special trip to Fairy Street to buy some books on wizarding knowledge, but he was still completely confused when he got back. In the end, he had to go and find the witch Catherine again.

Once inside the castle, his lessons were no longer the responsibility of the witch Catherine, and she had no further obligation to provide him with guidance. Rosie had originally planned to see if she could take out a magic stone and ask her to give him some extra lessons.

Catherine the witch was clearly quite surprised by Rosie's sudden arrival: "Wizard-level knowledge? Rosie, apprentice, don't you think that's premature for you?"

Luo Xi said sincerely, "But mentor, I really don't know any further direction for my apprentice's knowledge at the moment."

"You once taught us that knowledge is the foundation of a wizard. Before possessing the corresponding strength, I should first absorb the relevant knowledge to solidify my foundation, so that I can more easily bear that extraordinary power in the future. Don't you agree?"

Catherine hesitated for a moment. Most apprentices couldn't even master the knowledge at their current level, and it was rare to see someone like Rosie who was learning so advancedly.

However, she knew that this apprentice had always been outstanding, and his thirst for knowledge was unparalleled among all the apprentices, so it was not surprising that he would make such a decision.

Thinking about this, Catherine relented: "Your consideration makes sense."

Just when Rosie thought she had it all sorted out, the witch Catherine added, "However, I'm currently training a new batch of apprentices and won't have time to instruct you."

Actually, this was just an excuse. The real reason was that the teaching of wizarding knowledge required the castle's approval. In particular, a certified instructor like Catherine the Witch could not teach just anyone, not even her former apprentices.

"I see..." Rosie said with some disappointment.

But then Catherine the Witch said, "However, I can recommend a wizard from our family. He's in Fairy Street and happens to be free recently. If you've made up your mind, I can help you get in touch with him."

Luo Xi was overjoyed: "Then I'll have to trouble you, mentor."

Later, through the introduction of the witch Catherine, Rosie met Kelvin the wizard from Fairy Street, who would dedicate half an hour every Wednesday afternoon to instruct Rosie in wizarding-level magical knowledge.

1000 magic stones per class.

this price

To be honest, Rosie didn't expect it to be so expensive, but Catherine the Witch's character was trustworthy. She was a tutor in the castle and a pure-blood from a large family, so she wouldn't go so far as to hire a shill to rip off a friend for such a small amount of magic stones.

Knowledge is the most expensive thing, no matter where you are.

The reason we didn't realize the cost of knowledge before was simply because the castle paid for the apprenticeship period. Once we bypass the castle and seek knowledge on our own, it certainly won't be so easy.

Fortunately, he has earned a lot of magic stones recently, including compensation from Rudin's Palace, compensation after handing over the Skull Wand, rewards from the castle, etc. Currently, Rosie has tens of thousands of magic stones, which is enough to last for a while.

However, this kind of passive income without any return is not a long-term solution, as there will be many more places in the future where magic stones will be needed.

"It seems..."

"I need to think of a way to earn some magic stones."

Luo Xi was deep in thought.
