Ancient Wizards: A Little Progress Every Day

"Thump~"

A strange, inexplicable fluctuation emanated from Dago's body.

His black and white hair was slowly fading, returning to its original black color.

Tiny white light burst forth from the space around Dago, colliding and merging together to grow stronger.

"Huff~ Huff~....."

A violent gust of air rose up inside the room, forming a terrifying hurricane, and Dago's long, jet-black hair flew wildly.

Countless beams of white light converged in front of Dago, forming a powerful energy vortex.

After a while, an ice crystal missile, made entirely of translucent ice crystals and resembling a small cruise missile, formed in front of Dago.

Inside, a rotating ice core can be seen, emitting a blue-white light. It is the core that has condensed a massive amount of ice energy.

It possesses autonomous cruising capabilities, allowing it to fly at low altitudes under Dago's mental guidance, avoiding obstacles. During flight, a ring of ice mist shield forms around the missile body, which can withstand physical attacks and energy impacts.

When it hits its target, the ice core will detonate instantly, releasing enough cold air to freeze everything within a radius of thirty meters.

Dago glanced at the spell testing wall in the room, feeling a little uneasy. He figured it should be fine, right?

Forget it, who cares about all that! Just do it!

The ice core cruiser shot straight towards the spell test wall, leaving a trail of dazzling white tail!

"boom!!!!"

The huge spell training room was suddenly illuminated!

At the other end of the room, on the spell testing wall, all the energy-absorbing crystals on the wall lit up, their light as dazzling as tiny light bulbs turned up to their maximum power!

The massive test wall seemed to transform into a body of water, and when the ice core cruise missile struck it, it unleashed a terrifying energy surge, creating ripples visible to the naked eye!

Starting from the contact surface, the light spreads out in concentric circles, causing the energy-absorbing crystals on the wall to burst with dazzling brilliance, many of which also made crackling sounds as they broke.

After a long while, the gale subsided, and Dago's robes and black hair fell down.

He looked at the spell testing wall and saw a red light flashing above it.

Below the red light, a line of text composed of lights caught Dago's eye: "The spell wall's power can only withstand the energy of a late-stage first-ring spell. Any energy-absorbing crystals damaged during the testing process will be compensated at cost. Please contact the spell training hall for full compensation."

Dago thought to himself, "What's the point of comparing its power?" Without another word, before anyone noticed, he quickly made his escape.

After he slipped away, a small rune airship hovered above the spell training hall, and those entering and leaving subconsciously squinted and looked up.

The airship, shimmering with faint blue runes, hovered above the training hall for a moment before quickly disappearing from the sight of passersby.

A man's figure descended onto the rooftop of the training hall. He wore an exquisite and luxurious green robe, the surface of which shimmered faintly in the sunlight.

The robe had a thorn ring mark on the chest, and the person had an indescribable complex temperament, elegant and noble, yet arrogant.

"Lord Campbell."

The door leading from the spell training hall to the rooftop was pushed open, and a short man ran out quickly, approaching him and calling out respectfully.

Campbell walked straight towards the rooftop door. "Did you find anyone suitable today?"

"Yes!" The short man followed closely behind him, reporting quickly with his head down.

"There's a mid-stage first-ring cultivator who practices fire magic, and his condensed spell seals seem quite impressive. I had someone secretly inquire about him, and it seems he came from the Molten Brotherhood in the west and has the intention to join the magic ring."

"There's also a wizard who's definitely in the late first-circle stage, possessing very powerful spells; he might even be a second-circle wizard!"

The short man's tone unconsciously became somewhat suppressed with joy. He subconsciously looked up to see Campbell's reaction, and finding the other man quite interested, he continued speaking.

"That person probably didn't want to attract attention, so he specifically chose a training room for first-ring wizards. His spells were extremely powerful, causing damage to more than a dozen energy-absorbing crystals."

"By the time I received the alert from the training room and rushed over, the person was already gone. I couldn't figure out which wizard had caused the destruction."

The short man finished speaking in one breath, and Campbell in front of him had stopped talking at some point.

"Take me there to have a look."

A voice devoid of any emotional fluctuation rang out.

Before long, the two arrived at their target training room.

Campbell walked in as if he were in his own home. He stood in the middle of the training room, closed his eyes, and a powerful mental field spread out like a tide, covering the entire room.

The short man stood behind Campbell, bowing respectfully and waiting silently.

A moment later, Campbell opened his eyes.

"This training room looks like it has been after a powerful spell was cast. It can suck out all the free energy particles in the surrounding area in one go. Such a powerful and domineering way of casting spells is indeed the work of a very powerful wizard."

"Find this person and absolve him of all responsibility!"

Campbell said this aloud, but in his heart he was thinking, "If I can successfully introduce someone of this caliber to the Ring of Pain and Thorns Society, they will definitely give me a good reward."

The short man responded emphatically to Campbell's words and then quickly walked out of the room.

He began investigating which wizards had used that training room. Although the last user was a first-ring early-stage wizard named Dago, that level of wizard could not possibly have caused the damage to the energy-absorbing crystal!

Therefore, he must be at least a mid-stage first-level wizard.

"Good afternoon, Lord Dago. Have you eaten yet?"

As soon as Dago entered the Rose Inn, Linda, who had been sitting listlessly at the counter, jumped up excitedly and asked him a question.

This startled the somewhat guilty Dago, making him jump out of his skin.

"You ate it. Next time, keep your voice down. You almost scared me to death."

Dago said to Linda with a hint of reproach.

"Yes, Lord Dago, I will definitely report to you first next time."

He smiled, ignored her, and went upstairs alone.

After returning from the spell training hall, Dago was in a much better mood. The test results of his trump cards far exceeded his expectations, giving him a lot of confidence and assurance. The Thorn Circle would be at a loss without him.

He was a little guilty, after all, he had damaged someone else's equipment.

But after returning to the house, he thought again: it was clearly because their spell test wall was not sturdy enough. He had paid magic stones, and he was only a first-level wizard. So what if his spells were a little more powerful?

Now that Dago had finally let go of the last bit of burden in his heart, he felt completely relieved.

"The world is just my playground, I can be bold and not waste this ticket," Dargo thought.
