A noun entry: Wizard

"This is the third time."

Russell casually activated Constant Cleansing to remove the bloodstains that had soiled his robes.

During his ten-day stay on the coastline, he has already suffered three landfalls by sea monsters.

The knights continuously replenished the coastline, but still suffered heavy casualties.

The landing of three sea creatures, with hundreds of first-level sea creatures being secondary, is mainly due to the landing of sixteen second-level sea creatures.

Although they were all intercepted and killed, several wizard apprentices also died in the battle.

In response, a third-level wizard apprentice has reported the situation to Shilling and has personally gone to the coastline to guard it.

Upon seeing a third-level wizard apprentice step forward, all the knights and wizards present were relieved.

The strength of a third-level wizard apprentice is far beyond what first- or second-level wizard apprentices can match.

Putting aside the advantages of seven spells, becoming a third-level wizard apprentice requires mastering the elements of heaven and earth.

A third-level wizard apprentice can manipulate elements at will to serve their purposes, even without casting spells.

A first-level wizarding apprentice without magic power cannot even resonate with the elements and cast spells in front of a third-level wizarding apprentice.

If both parties share the same elemental affinity, a first-level wizard apprentice may even suffer elemental backlash when casting a spell!

And most importantly, that is the attack range.

Being able to manipulate the elements of heaven and earth and continuously replenish depleted spells means that the casting range of spells will reach a very considerable level.

Unlike Russell and his group, who needed to calculate the casting range of spells to attack Hai Si.

Being close makes it easy for Hai Si to get close.

The distance reduces the power of the spell, making it impossible to kill Hai Si.

"My esteemed Sir Bertrand Russell."

A servant approached Russell and bowed respectfully.

"What is it?" Russell asked.

"Lord Luther said that the rotation of wizard apprentices will be temporarily suspended, and a new batch of knights and wizard apprentices will arrive soon."

"For the next month, the coastline will be strictly closed to ensure that nothing goes wrong."

"In fact, Lord Shilling will send a 'Sand Golem' to work with Lord Luther to ensure everything goes perfectly."

Luther was the third-level wizard apprentice stationed on the coastline. He was a middle-aged man in his forties with blond hair and still retained some of his youthful handsomeness.

As for the Sand Golem, it was an alchemical creation built by Shillien using wizarding methods.

Its body is enormous, reportedly over five meters tall, resembling a city wall.

His body is imbued with several spells, making him as powerful as a third-level wizard apprentice.

The only drawback is that actions require Originium, and casting spells consume an even more terrifying amount of Originium.

Only by drawing upon the natural energy of heaven and earth absorbed before the witch formation is activated within Panlong Mountain can one move freely without loss.

Therefore, normally, the wizard Shilling would not send the Sand Golem out of Panlong Mountain, as the losses would be considerable.

But now, the sand golems are guarding the coastline.

"Could it be that the legendary Level 3 Sea Being will make a landing?" Russell wondered to himself.

The wizard Shilin has guarded Panlong Mountain for nearly five hundred years, and there may have been a Level 3 Sea Heir there.

The current large-scale landing of marine life might be a harbinger of the imminent emergence of Level 3 marine life.

So, that's why the Sand Golem came to guard this coastline?

Russell waved his hand to dismiss the servant who had delivered the message, and returned to his stone hut to continue his meditation and practice.

Thinking about it too much is useless; we still need to focus on improving our strength.

Only those with sufficient strength can protect themselves in the face of any crisis.

"Speaking of which, my physical condition has now reached the peak of a high-level knight. When I get back, I'll buy a bottle of Great Knight Potion."

"At that time, the second keyword sequence will greatly enhance my... uh, it seems I don't have many good keywords to equip."

Russell glanced at the dictionary system.

[Innate Super Strength (Advanced): Strength +87%]

[Master's Fire (Advanced): Fire spell damage +73%]

There are two useless entries in there.

Russell glanced at the 46 points of dust on the stats. If he wanted to do another 100-pull, he would need to accumulate 54 days.

Less than two months.

The time was not long.

Perhaps, this amount of time will only be enough for Russell to complete the model of the second-level wizard apprentice, Furry.

"Unfortunately, it takes more than 27 years to accumulate enough purple rare attributes to guarantee a reward. Right now, I can only rely on a hundred consecutive pulls to try my luck."

"After becoming a formal wizard, 27 years may not seem like a long time, but until then, it's the only time you can go."

"Aside from relying on time to accumulate, the only way to obtain a large amount of affix dust is to kill enemies of higher ranks."

"I need to continue building up my strength, ideally to be able to kill a full-fledged wizard by the time I reach the third level of wizard apprenticeship!"

In Russell's eyes burned a flame called ambition.

He's a wizard apprentice with mythological attributes, so why can't he kill a wizard?

"But that's far from enough."

Russell closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began to meditate.

He has only just been promoted to the second level of wizard apprentice, and is still a long way from the level of a wizard!

"here we go again."

As time went by, the sound became more and more frequent, averaging once every few days. Even Russell felt somewhat tired of it.

He stepped out of the stone house and came outside, where he saw a large number of knights gathered there, many of whom did not even have time to wipe the bloodstains off their armor.

His face also showed an undeniable weariness.

"Hai Zi has landed! Everyone be careful!"

Shouts echoed among the knights, forcibly rallying their spirits to fight against Hai Si.

At times like this, even if you are physically and mentally exhausted, you must be on high alert, or you will die!

Russell joined the battle, and a wind blade shot out.

The method may be simple, but as long as it works, that's fine.

One of the sea creatures fell to the ground.

No matter how much you practice, it's not as good as real combat.

During these days of constant battles with Hai Si, Russell's Wind Blade Technique has reached a level of consummate skill.

His control over the Wind Blade technique has reached a new level.

"Is it finally the turn of a Level 3 Sea Heir to step in this time?"

Walking along the coastline, after casually killing several level-one sea creatures, Russell saw the enormous figure of the Sand Golem.

He was locked in a fierce battle with a sea monster whose size was no less than that of a sand golem.

The five-meter-tall sea monster is covered in dark blue scales, has a humanoid shape, and has sharp claws and webbed feet, making it look ferocious and terrifying.

Luther, meanwhile, continuously cast spells to assist the Sand Golem.

"A once-in-a-century Level 3 marine progeny—what exactly are these guys up to?"

"Could it be that Haisi is finally going to stop its pointless, scattered landings and begin a formal land offensive?"

Russell couldn't help but think.

If this trend continues, surely no one will emerge who is a formal wizard-level Sea Child?
