Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

"【Winter Star in the Palm of My Hand】!"

Dago squinted, gazing at the deep blue lightning bolts that occasionally fell from the sky above, connected by air currents.

That was a sign of the "Miracle Realm".

The closer a spell's power is to the realm of "miracle," the more it can trigger changes in celestial phenomena. This is the terrifying aura of the "miracle domain" drawing upon the free-floating energy in the world, and perhaps it is also a manifestation of a natural law.

Dago had mastered two genuine "Miracle Domains" and therefore had some knowledge of them.

"After the third-tier ice magic was integrated with Winter Star, the power of [Winter Star in the Palm] is now almost at the realm of miracles."

"call--"

Dago exhaled gently, blowing away the frost that lingered on the puck in his hand.

As you can see, the outlines of miniature glaciers and snowfields are already faintly visible in the crystal-clear ice ball.

Compared to his time in the Wizards draft, Dago's abilities in all aspects have improved significantly, and his control over this move is naturally on a completely different level.

Furthermore, he inherited the third-tier ice magic from Avery, which is why the power of this move has risen to its current level.

"Click click click—"

Dago clenched his fingers, and cracks appeared on the surface of the exquisite ice puck. The miniature Winter Star within collapsed and finally exploded into countless scattered ice shards and points of light with a "bang".

The hurricane tornado, stretching from the sky to the ground, dissipated, and the gathered energy transformed into a vast expanse of snow that billowed in all directions.

Dago, his robes fluttering, calmly floated down from mid-air onto the snow.

Whether or not the [Winter Star] style has a successor is no longer important to me.

After creating the secret technique "Snow Country in the Palm," Dago already had a goal in mind for the future development of his "Frozen Earth" ice-flowing technique.

The core of the [Winter Star] style is like building a house, layering higher-level spells one by one. Dago constructed the spell concept of [Winter Star in the Palm] on this framework, which he himself was very satisfied with.

"The successor to the [Winter Star] style may not be able to compare with [Winter Star in the Palm]."

"Roads are made by walking, so why can't I create a new Frost Mage build myself?"

Having witnessed Isidore's arrogance in swallowing galaxies and looking down upon the world, Dago's perspective as a magic practitioner has unconsciously broadened considerably.

The current "Winter Star in Your Hand" is still just a prototype.

In Dago's vision, the future "Winter Star in the Palm" will not only be used for offense, but if it can incorporate the mysteries of spatial and mirror magic, it will also have the ability to seal and imprison.

This secret technique has immense potential and, to a certain extent, embodies his extraordinary ambition in ice magic.

"Dago,"

A soft call drifted into Dago's ears with the wind and snow.

Dago looked up and saw a gray shadow swiftly breaking through the sky on the distant horizon, landing on the snow in front of him in the blink of an eye.

With her head full of silver hair piled high, Avery exuded a more elegant air than usual. Even with wrinkles on her face, one could still discern glimpses of her former beauty and charm.

"Grandpa Avery".

Dago greeted Avery, who nodded slightly and said kindly, "What you asked for has been taken care of."

Dago's expression shifted slightly. "Thank you for your help, Grandpa Avery."

Avery shook his head and asked, "What do you plan to do with them?"

Dago thought for a moment and said, "Let them go where they are."

Avery looked slightly puzzled, but didn't say anything, just nodded.

A few hours later, in a vast snow forest, two icy-scaled pythons, one large and one small, with icy horns on their heads, hissed softly, glanced deeply at the two people behind them, and then quickly swam into the endless forest.

"Those creatures that possess the bloodline of the ancient Great Ice Serpent will attract covetous eyes as soon as they are exposed to a wizard, and will be captured again sooner or later."

Avery looked at Dago and spoke calmly.

Dago watched until the two Frostscale Pythons had completely disappeared before slowly withdrawing his gaze.

"It doesn't matter."

He shook his head.

He did all this simply to fulfill a promise he made to a certain snake.

He had promised the Great Ice Serpent that one day he would lead it to rescue its kin from the clutches of the major wizarding families of Ice Fortress, and now he had done it.

Although by now, the will of that great ice serpent, which had never even been given a name, may have already been completely devoured by Beheilite.

"Thank you, you must have paid a heavy price."

Dago thanked Avery again, but the latter just shook his head. "It's nothing. You, who came to visit with me three days ago, impressed them all with your talent and strength. Compared to offending a potential star like you who will surely achieve miracles in the future, two Frostscale Pythons that only contain a trace of the bloodline of the ancient Great Ice Serpent are nothing at all."

Dago nodded and said nothing more.

Having released the two Frostscale Pythons, Dago had completed his last task at the Ice Fortress. Perhaps sensing his impending departure, Avery felt inexplicably sad.

"Dago,"

He hugged Dago again. "Good boy, keep going. Don't look back so easily. I'll always be watching you from behind."

Dago remained silent.

As the snowflakes began to fall, the two remained silent, standing facing each other in quiet silence.

After bidding farewell to Avery at the Ice Castle, Dago returned directly to the secret realm where he was with Bernal and Serena.

He comprehends the "Ancient Star Book," inherits the Isidore's magical lineage, and practices magic, meditation, and physical training.

Dago's life returned to normalcy and tranquility once again.

I thought this period of peace wouldn't last long.

He had been waiting for news from the Thorn Ring to inform him to go to the central region, but he never expected that the wait would be so long that he almost thought the matter would be forgotten.

"Splash—"

Beneath the cascading waterfall, amidst the misty spray created by the water crashing against the rocks, ripples of pale gold spread out, displaying a hazy, rainbow-like hue under the sunlight.

A figure floated silently in the water vapor, and all the pale golden ripples emanated from his body.

The figure was tall and straight, with a black robe as smooth as silk with silver trim hanging down on both sides of his body. A slightly glowing black book was open and laid flat on his knees.

"Buzz—"

With a strange thud, the pale golden ripples that spread out like water suddenly stopped and disappeared. Then, the figure that had been floating in mid-air gracefully fell down and gently stood on a moss-covered rock.

"Snapped!"

Dago closed the "Ancient Star Book" in his hand, gently kneaded his brow with two fingers together, and revealed an undisguised deep weariness in his half-closed eyes.

"Almost. Still failed."

Dago had already lost count of how many times he had attempted astrological chart readings in the past year.

He comprehended the "Ancient Star Book" to such an extent that he would occasionally dream of the flowing stars while sleeping, yet even now, he has not been able to complete even the most basic full deduction.
