Wizard: Grinding experience starting with Knight's Breathing Technique

Chapter 147 The Knight of Flowers, the Legendary Livy! (A long chapter of 10,000 words, please subscribe)

On the sea.

Teacher Mai Lin glided along in her light-winged glider, carrying Li Wei forward slowly.

This consumes less magical energy and allows for slightly longer flight distances.

After traveling about ten miles, Ms. Mai Lin landed on an uninhabited island.

"Take a break," Ms. Mai Lin said.

"Thank you, teacher. Are you alright?" Li Wei asked.

Teacher Mylin shook her head with a wry smile: "It's not good. Although I have already built the structure of the second-circle spell model, my current strength is not enough to cast second-circle spells. I can only cast them after my mental strength reaches the peak of a first-circle wizard. But in that situation, if I didn't use second-circle spells, Green Ghost Carter and another formal wizard would have left us with no hope of escape."

"Poor Oliver, although he is a bit stupid and lazy, he is still a very good person. I will tell the Tower Master about this when I get back, and the Tower Master will give Oliver justice. All the wizard apprentices of our Gray Tower are the Tower Master's children. Although he seems to be very busy and rarely cares about his apprentices, he is cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He actually loves his apprentices very much."

Mai Lin sighed.

Oliver's remains and storage items were all collected by Teacher Merlin. When Levi thought of Oliver's miserable appearance, he couldn't help but feel a sense of sorrow for the passing of his rabbit.

Oliver, as a high-ranking wizard apprentice, was naturally quite powerful, but on this vast ocean, in front of a formal wizard.

The life of a wizard's apprentice is as fragile as a candle flame in a lamp, or a small boat on the sea; at any moment, the person may die, the lamp may go out, and the boat may be destroyed.

"I know your knighthood is very strong, but I didn't expect you could kill a first-ring wizard. Although that person was obviously a novice who had just entered the first-ring wizardhood realm, killing a wizard as a knight is still rare in this wizarding world. Usually, only legendary knights can do it," said Teacher Mylin.

"It's all because your second-circle spell, Teacher, attracted that wizard's firepower and attention; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to get close at all," Li Wei said.

He wasn't being modest; he was simply stating the facts.

He appeared to have successfully killed a legitimate wizard.

But that was because on the front lines, after casting her second-circle spell, Teacher Mylin, who looked like a goddess descending to earth, drew all of the wizard's attention, leaving him unable to concentrate on his spellcasting.

Li Wei was able to launch a surprise attack.

Otherwise, Li Wei felt it would be difficult for him to get close to her.

Even the weakest of the formal wizards.

He must have mastered at least ten zero-ring spells and one first-ring spell, while this wizard, judging from his performance, has mastered at least two first-ring spells, and they are spells from different schools.

One was that terrifying green fireball, which should be an attack spell from the Death School at the first level.

The other is his passive spell that can transform his body into a rock body. It is clearly a first-level physical enhancement spell, and should be a classic spell of the Earth School: Rock Body.

If it weren't for Teacher Mylin directly restraining those two formal wizards, Levi would never have dared to try this.

"Little Li Wei, you're a good person in every way, but you're too modest. There's no need for that; excessive modesty is just arrogance," Teacher Mai Lin said with a smile.

"Only a legendary knight can break through a formal wizard's protective field and shatter his physical enhancement spells."

"Tsk tsk, tell me, what's your legendary title in the world? Let me see if I've heard of it."

Li Wei waved his hand with a wry smile: "Teacher, please don't joke with me. In this wizarding world, even a legendary knight is nothing more than a tiny speck of dust."

"Alright, alright, if you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Do you have a partner now?" Teacher Mai Lin's thought process is completely incomprehensible to ordinary people.

One second they were discussing the legendary knight, the next they were asking Levi if he had a partner.

She looks just like my aunts and uncles from my hometown in a past life.

"No, I'm used to being alone," Li Wei said.

"Oh, that's a pity. With your future status and achievements, I think Winnie is a good match for you, but since you prefer to be alone, I won't play matchmaker."

"Indeed, many wizards, like myself, after becoming engrossed in their wizarding practices, find that romance is a very boring thing," Mylene remarked.

She lived to be 150 years old, and only had romantic relationships with others before becoming a wizard. After that, she has been practicing her spiritual path in solitude ever since.

With no children and no partner, Ms. Merlin made the Gray Tower her home.

Li Wei wanted to see someone.

It's because he felt that once he had a partner and children, he would have a weakness.

Moreover, I have my own proficiency panel, so even though I am a child of chaos, I will go very far on the path of wizarding.

But what about your own family?

For example, Winnie is only a three-way affinity.

They might not even be able to become official wizards, let alone their future path.

Li Wei didn't want to watch his loved ones grow old and die in front of him.

In short, being alone, without any ties, is quite nice.

Especially now that I don't need to worry about my territory anymore.

With Andrew, the chosen worker, in charge of the territory.

Li Wei couldn't have been more relaxed.

We rested briefly on the reef with Teacher Mai Lin.

Mylene continued flying with Levi, and after waiting for three days on another route, they boarded the Azure Ship and returned to the Gray Tower.

After saying goodbye to Li Wei, Teacher Mai Lin hurriedly returned to the third floor of the White Tower. She needed to recuperate for a while to heal the mental damage caused by forcibly using second-circle magic before attempting to break through to the second-circle wizard level.

Upon returning to the ninth floor of the Gray Tower, Li Wei did not immediately check his harvest.

"If it was Angus, the second-ring apothecary from Whale Song Island, who leaked our whereabouts, then we could be in big trouble. Whale Song Island may seem peaceful on the surface, but in reality, they may be secretly colluding with the Ship of the Dead."

This is not impossible. It seems that Whale Song Island and the Gray Tower have a good relationship, but no one knows what the dominant wizarding organization in this sea area is thinking in secret.

After all, Whale Song Island possesses the only third-ring wizard in this sea area. If it weren't for the constraints of the Pan-Dimensional Wizarding Council's rules, Whale Song Island might have already unified this sea area.

However, Li Wei had no evidence and it was purely his own speculation.

It is also possible that the other two advanced pharmaceutical apprentices leaked the secret.

Although those two apprentices were friends of the witch Mylene, there was no guarantee they wouldn't harbor some ill intentions.

Competition still exists between different wizarding factions. Resources on this vast sea are limited, so open and covert struggles are inevitable.

"Never mind, anyway, we're in the Gray Tower. If the sky falls, the Tower Master will take care of it. What am I worried about? The Tower Master was able to kill a second-ring wizard a long time ago, and his strength might be close to the third ring now. He's unfathomable and not as simple as he seems."

Li Wei thought to himself.

After all, the Tower of Grey and White is an organization that has produced Third Ring Wizards, and its heritage is extraordinary.

Furthermore, the founder of the Gray Tower holds a position within the Tower of Stars, indicating a high status as a mid-level wizard.

If you really run into trouble, you can call your ancestors over.

Don't worry unnecessarily.

Li Wei looked at the bags on the ground; there were three in total.

One of them was the official wizard, and the other two were wizard apprentices.

The bag belonging to a formal wizard looked particularly exquisite, with intricate magical runes on it.

Li Wei estimated that this storage bag alone could fetch a considerable amount of money.

He was fully armed, activated his Bright Silver Guardian, and covered his entire body with liquid black scales to guard against any traps.

The bag was tightly closed. Li Wei tried to open it physically, but after trying for a long time, he couldn't pull it open at all.

Spell runes flickered, and a force protected the storage bag.

"Damn it, it must require a spell to open. This bag is pretty high-end."

Li Wei cursed under his breath.

Forcibly tearing it apart with brute force is fine, but I'm afraid it might damage the contents inside.

This is the fortune of a legitimate wizard; Levi would be heartbroken if it were ruined.

In the wizarding world, storage items come in all sorts of strange forms, and he had never seen this kind of bag before, so he didn't know how to open it.

I asked Tutankhamun, but even this old man didn't know.

"I'll study this bag more carefully after a while and then try again. If it really doesn't work, I'll go to Ms. Mai Lin. She should be able to open it."

Unable to open the storage bag of a formal wizard, Levi had to settle for second best.

The storage items of the two wizard apprentices looked similar to the Bag of Gluttony.

Li Wei opened it easily.

A whole bunch of odds and ends were scattered on the floor.

Aside from some of the wizards' daily necessities and clothing, there wasn't much of value.

Li Wei summarized the following:

66 Taishi.

A magic wand.

Li Wei glanced at the parchment note; it contained the first-circle spell, [Summon the Undead].

And a spellbook from the school of death, which records three zero-ring spell models: [Withering Ray], [Soul Fire], and [Corpse Explosion].

Finally, there is a meditation method: [Night Raven Meditation].

In addition, there were some spellcasting materials and ordinary gold.

The amount of gold was negligible for Li Wei.

Of course, these storage bags themselves are a kind of gain.

Li Wei unceremoniously put the Tai Shi away.

He has been in the wizarding world for half a year now, and he still doesn't have a single stone.

I never expected that the people on the Ship of the Dead would travel so far to send me Tai Shi, which is worth 66 points!

As for the magic wand, it was a pitch-black tree branch with a forked end, resembling the forked tongue of a venomous snake. Its shape was bizarre, and its art style leaned towards the dark.

"The Viper Wand, a medium-level wand, contains two solidified zero-ring tricks: Soulfire and Undead Bone Armor."

"Soulfire is an offensive spell that produces a ball of ordinary green hellfire to attack the enemy. Hellfire can burn both the body and the soul, so this spell is a classic spell of the Death School, and many formal wizards also use it. The Soulfire solidified in this wand has the power of a single strike from a high-ranking wizard apprentice, which is quite impressive."

"The Undead Bone Armor is a classic defensive trick of the Death School. It can conjure a suit of bone armor to protect oneself and withstand a full-force attack from a high-ranking wizard apprentice."

"This wand is a top-tier mid-range wand. In addition to two useful solidification spells, it can also increase the casting speed of wizarding apprentices by 10% and enhance the power of trick spells by 10%. In White Sail Alley, a wand of similar quality would cost 50 points."

Li Wei put away the Viper Wand with satisfaction.

Great, I can save a lot of points.

Whether in the mortal world or in this wizarding world.

Earning money through hard work and legal means is not as profitable as high-risk methods like robbery.

Getting something for free is always more enjoyable, but it's too risky, and such opportunities are rare.

If it weren't for Teacher Mylene's presence, how could Levi have dared to attack a wizard?

Even a high-ranking wizard apprentice could fail if Levi wasn't careful.

There are so many kinds of spells, so the strength of each advanced wizard apprentice can vary greatly due to differences in the spells they master, their spellcasting combat experience, and their equipment.

Of all the bags, Li Wei's biggest find was naturally the spell models.

The parchment scroll contained a first-circle spell to summon the undead, which could summon undead from hell.

This is the original spell of the Mark of Hell, hence it is also known as "Hell Summoning".

This first-level spell is the most important spell for the Death School in the early stages, bar none, and is the most important source of combat power for Death School wizards in the early stages.

From the weakest undead skeletons in hell to the most powerful hellish warriors summoned by Green Goblin Carter, both are summoned by first-circle necromancy spells.

Carter's greatest strength comes from the Hell Warrior he summons, whose power is no less than that of a legendary knight.

This Hell Warrior is impervious to blades and spears, and almost completely immune to any magical attacks below the first level. He is simply the best tank warrior, which Li Wei greatly admires.

Unfortunately, first-circle spells are beyond Li Wei's current reach. He needs to be at least a high-level wizard apprentice and have a mental strength of 15 points before he can construct a first-circle spell model.

To truly and barely cast a first-level spell, one's mental strength must reach the peak of 20 points for an apprentice. Of course, it is best to advance to a formal wizard level before casting it. Casting a first-level spell during the wizard apprentice stage is very difficult.

The three spell models recorded in another spellbook are also tricks from the school of death.

The Soul Fire needs no further explanation; it's inscribed on the staff.

Li Wei was quite interested in the Withering Ray trick, which could generate a mental ray containing the power of death and withering to attack the enemy. After being hit, the enemy's mental power would be severely damaged, and the injured parts of the body would wither and age. It was quite powerful.

Another method is corpse explosion, which detonates the corpses within the detonation range, relying on the impact and destructive force generated by the explosion to damage enemies.

In Li Wei's view, this magic trick is suitable for large-scale battlefields, but it is not very useful in one-on-one combat and is rather useless.

Because there are no corpses for you to detonate.

A wizard apprentice has only ten spell slots in total.

Li Wei probably wouldn't waste a spell slot learning this.

Soul Fire and Withering Ray are both very powerful attack skills. In Li Wei's opinion, they are much stronger than the attack spells of the Ocean School. After all, the Ocean School is not good at attacking, but focuses on defense and control.

"I currently have three spell slots, and I need to reserve two slots to learn Ocean School magic to prepare for future assessments, so for now I can choose one Death School magic."

"The Soulfire Wand already comes with it. Although it can only be used once a day, it starts with the Soulfire of a High Apprentice level, which is enough."

"So, I'll learn the Wither Ray first, and then I'll consider Soul Fire after I advance to the rank of Advanced Wizard Apprentice."

The final Night Raven meditation goes without saying; it's a meditation technique used by apprentices in the school of death studies, and Livy will definitely have to learn it.

In fact, the Death School, as a new school of thought, is unlike the traditional Elemental School, where spells and meditation methods must be used in combination.

The spell must be from the same school of meditation. This is a restriction that only traditional schools have. For example, if you want to cast the first level of Burning Hand, you need the corresponding meditation method of the Burning School, because the magical power generated by meditation methods of different elemental schools is also different.

Li Wei's current deep-sea meditation method generates water-based magical power, which is perfectly suited for casting ocean-themed spells. However, this magical power cannot be used to cast burning-themed spells.

The insect manipulation techniques of the Insect School and the spells of the Death School can be cast even using the current deep-sea meditation method.

However, the power and effect would be greatly reduced, so Li Wei would be better off using the Ocean School's attack spells.

Although Li Wei disliked the Death School, he quite liked its offensive spells.

Vicious, insidious, and bizarre are all methods of killing.

This is the characteristic of the Death School of magic.

Li Wei felt that in terms of future attacks, he could focus on the Death School. After all, the Burning and Thunder Schools required too much elemental talent, and it was indeed slow for a Chaos Child like Li Wei to cultivate them, even with the speed-up from the proficiency panel.

Of course, if there is enough time, one should also practice the Burning and Thunder schools of thought.

Li Wei carefully collected all of this harvest.

"Next, let's go to White Sail Alley and buy two magic trick models."

Li Wei left the ninth floor of the Gray Tower and arrived at White Sail Alley.

……

at the same time.

The open sea, a misty sea.

A layer of gray mist lingers here year-round, never dissipating and obscuring the sun.

On the oppressive sea surface, the wind and waves were calm, but from the water, the faint roars of sea monsters could be heard, and huge shadows could be seen roaming on the surface from time to time.

Among these sea creatures, there are occasionally extraordinary sea beasts that stir up storms and are quite terrifying.

In the center of the misty sea, a faint green light flickered.

Passing through the mist and arriving at the place of light, you will find a giant ship, resembling a small island, slowly resting in the sea.

This is the ship of the dead.

Its existence dates back even longer than that of the Gray Tower.

It was created long ago by a powerful dark wizard.

The so-called black wizards are similar to black wizard organizations.

These are the evil wizards who are wanted by the Wizard Council for seriously violating the Pan-Dimensional Wizard Council Charter. They are basically vicious, ruthless, and desperate outlaws.

That dark wizard left behind many legends in this sea area.

He is the fearsome ghost captain Jet.

His ship was known as the "Black Mary".

Captain Jet was once the strongest in this sea, reaching the level of a fourth-circle wizard.

Even in the Starry Sea, they are considered absolute powerhouses.

Unfortunately, for reasons unknown, the captain was eventually caught by the enforcement team of the Tower of Stars after escaping justice for a long time. He was executed, and his ship, filled with hellish creatures, evil spirits, and undead, was destroyed and sank into the sea.

The ship's remains were later found by the organization now known as the Ship of the Dead, and pieced together and restored. Although dilapidated, it can still serve as the organization's base.

The ship of the dead is now anchored in the misty waters of this no-man's-land.

On the ship of the dead, green, lantern-like will-o'-the-wisps flickered everywhere.

These are all undead creatures, "Lanternfire".

The lantern fire is very weak; even a low-level wizard apprentice with some magic skills can deal with it.

However, the number was extremely large; on this ship that was thousands of meters long, lanterns were lit everywhere, numbering in the tens of thousands.

They patrol the ship day and night, alerting it to the slightest disturbance, at which point the ghost ship will quickly flee.

After becoming a black wizard organization, this force was either on the run or hiding in dangerous waters that others avoided.

Besides low-level undead like lantern fire, there were also undead skeletons, undead knights riding skeletal warhorses, and even skeleton mages wielding staffs that occasionally appeared on the ship.

At the very top of the cabin, a three-headed behemoth, over twenty meters long with a single horn on its middle head, its flesh rotting and revealing its white bones, and resembling a lizard, was sleeping.

This is the "Hellfire Lizard," a powerful creature that is relatively rare among undead creatures. It may not look impressive, but its strength is close to that of a second-ring wizard.

Because this undead behemoth is a hybrid of dragon blood.

Although their bloodline is thin, they are indeed of mixed race.

It is not even comparable to the hybrid species like the Earth Dragon Beast, nor can it be compared to the descendants of the dragon race who have degenerated to the point of not even being extraordinary creatures.

The three heads of the Hellfire Lizard possess three different elemental types of spell-like abilities, making it a naturally powerful spellcaster. Moreover, its physical body is incredibly strong.

Below the three-headed hellhound, inside the captain's cabin.

Green Ghost Carter lay prostrate on the ground, gazing at the black-robed figure on the skeletal throne.

This black-robed wizard had half his face as a skull and the other half as rotting flesh, making him look extremely distorted and terrifying.

His chest cavity was also empty; he didn't even have a heart.

Black demonic fire burned in his eye sockets.

This is the current captain of the Ship of the Dead.

Harland, the Dark Wizard, is more often remembered by his other nickname: The Demon.

Because his appearance was too avant-garde and terrifying, it left a deep impression on people. However, this is the typical appearance of many wizards in the school of death.

Dealing with hellish creatures, the undead, and all sorts of death-related spells all day long, this is inevitable.

At this moment, the demon Harland's eyes were filled with rage, and demonic fire burned out his skull, literally "fuming with rage".

"So, not only did you fail to seize the Eye of the Demon, but you also caused the death of one of our official wizards on the Ship of the Dead, and then you just slunk back like this? And the one who killed our official wizard was a wizard apprentice from the Tower of Gray and White?" the demon Harland said, word by word.

Green Ghost Carter was terrified and trembling all over.

Compared to this powerful second-ring wizard, even though he was a veteran first-ring wizard, he was nothing.

"Captain, it's all my fault. It was my mistake. I never expected that the Gray Tower would recruit a wizard apprentice of legendary knight level. Such a person is extremely rare." Green Ghost Carter kowtowed frantically to admit his guilt.

"Hmph, utterly useless, a piece of trash!"

The demon snorted coldly, even with his second-circle wizard mentality.

It's about to explode.

The current official wizards of the Ship of the Dead do not include the demon Harland.

There are only six.

Now another one has died, leaving only five.

Although the number still surpasses that of the Gray Tower.

The problem is that the current master of the Gray Tower, that crazy old man who has almost replaced all his organs with alchemical prosthetics, is too powerful.

Besides that crazy old man, that damned white snake, the former tower master's pet, was also incredibly powerful.

Harland refused to back down in his fight against the mad old man.

Since you've modified your body with alchemical prosthetics, I'll just turn myself into a half-human, half-undead monster.

If you're not human, then I'm not human either!

You have a powerful second-ring extraordinary creature, the White Serpent, a dragon hybrid. Then I'll go all out and capture a second-ring Hell Three-Headed Lizard from Hell, also a dragon hybrid.

In the arms race, Harland, the Demon, was second to none!

It's even less likely that it will lose to its arch-rival, the Gray Tower.

The problem is that the wizards under my command are incompetent.

This dignified, formal wizard was actually killed by a wizard apprentice.

If this gets out, it will be a laughing stock.

He went out to rob someone, but his attempt to steal a chicken backfired and he lost more than he gained.

This is infuriating!

However, considering that the wizard apprentice was a legendary knight.

Harland resigned himself to his fate.

A hundred years ago, when he was still a first-ring wizard, he had fought a legendary knight in the Tower of Stars, and the two ended up fighting to a draw.

That legendary knight was actually a woman.

It seems that they are quite famous in the human world.

Her name is Elena, the Knight of Flowers.

That damned woman, her swordsmanship was superb, and her powerful breathing technique caused the once-confident demon Harland a lot of trouble.

After the Demon Harland's second ring, he once wanted to seek revenge on the Knight of Flowers.

Unfortunately, when he arrived at the Tower of Stars, he discovered that the Knight of Flowers had already advanced to a third-ring wizard, becoming a mid-level wizard. He could only slink back in disgrace.

Now, another legendary knight has appeared in this sea.

This made Harland reminisce about the past.

"Now is the time for me to use people. You've ruined the professional wizard I've painstakingly trained, so I won't punish you. That would be pointless. Within a year, no matter what method you use, you must create another professional wizard for me, or else..."

The demon, burning with rage, sneered.

"Don't worry, Captain, I'll definitely do it."

Green Ghost Carter said tremblingly, thinking to himself, "Where am I supposed to conjure up a proper wizard? Proper wizards aren't as common as cabbages."

"In addition, check the name of that legendary knight and his wizarding talent. If he has dual affinity or is a child of the elements, he must be nipped in the bud before he becomes a formal wizard."

If it's just ordinary talent, it doesn't matter. At most, he'll become a first-ring wizard. A legendary knight is the end of the knightly path, so his strength can't reach the second ring. It won't affect our future plans.

Harland remembered Elena, the Child of the Elements.

The speed of cultivation is terrifying.

It made Harland feel like he was a piece of trash.

Therefore, such tragedies must not be allowed to happen again.

"Yes, Captain. I will frequently send men to patrol the route near the Gray Tower. Once we find that legendary knight, we will kill him on the spot. But what if he keeps hiding inside the Gray Tower and doesn't come out?" Green Ghost Carter suddenly had a change of heart and asked again.

"We can't start a wizard war with the Gray Tower for now. Those damned enforcers from the Tower of Stars are looking for us all over the world. We can only make a move after I advance to the third ring. If they don't come out, you'll have to wait. Nobody can stay in a broken tower for that long."

Harland looked at Green Goblin Carter with a disappointed expression.

Green Ghost Carter slowly retreated, and Harland returned to his throne to continue meditating.

……

Inside Baifan Alley.

Spell Shop.

Li Wei gazed at the spellbooks displayed in the shop window.

These are spellbooks for magic tricks.

Spellbooks containing first-level spells are never displayed in shop windows.

Li Wei's idea was to choose a control or defensive spell from the Ocean School, and an offensive spell.

[Zero-Ring Trick: Water Arrow]

[Spell Structure: 3-Spell Structure]

[Spell Cost: 3 Mana]

[Spell Price: 20 points]

For offensive spells, Li Wei didn't hesitate and directly chose the Water Arrow spell, a standard trick. Although the spell's power was average, its structure was simple and its mana consumption was low. Li Wei could quickly gain experience and reach the limit in no time.

Moreover, if you can max out the Water Arrow spell, its power is quite good, at least enough for a wizard apprentice.

Therefore, Li Wei didn't look at any of the other fancy attack spells.

Anyway, the offensive magic he wants to major in in the future is the Death School.

As for the second spell, Li Wei chose a control-type spell.

His current level 10 Black Serpent defense is already quite good, and with the Frost Giant Armor, Li Wei can even withstand a casual attack from a formal wizard.

Of course, the Green Ghost Carter used a trick to attack Levi at the end, so the power was only average. If he had used a real first-circle spell, Levi might not have been able to withstand it.

[Zero Ring Trick: Tidal Grip]

[Spell Structure: 5-Spell Structure]

[Spell Cost: 5 Mana]

[Spell Price: 40 points]

This Tidal Grip is much more difficult than Water Arrow.

There aren't many control spells to begin with, and Tidal Grip is considered a classic control spell for apprentices in the Ocean School.

Summon the power of water elements to form a tidal cage, restricting the enemy's movements.

However, this kind of magic-level control might only imprison the enemy for a very short time, which is enough for Li Wei.

After purchasing the spells, Li Wei returned to the Gray Tower.

I happened to run into Winnie, my senior, who was leaving get out of class.

"Junior brother, didn't you go to class?" Winnie asked.

"No, did you just finish class, senior?" Li Wei greeted her politely, remembering what Teacher Mai Lin had said, and glanced at Winnie again.

Yes, it is indeed quite beautiful.

In a past life, she would have been the type I liked but couldn't reach.

"Hmm, just finished class. Junior, you've been keeping a low profile," Winnie said with a smile.

"What do you mean by 'hiding one's talents'?" Li Wei asked, puzzled.

"You helped Teacher Mylin successfully refine the second-level potion, such a big thing, and you didn't even tell her," Winnie said, pouting.

"Oh, that wasn't my doing. We sent four advanced pharmaceutical apprentices, and I was just doing odd jobs, so I didn't really contribute anything," Li Wei explained.

"You're a legendary knight, yet you've never mentioned such a thing. Now you're a prominent figure in the Gray Tower, a wizard apprentice, and a formal wizard who slayed the undead ship. You're still pretending," Winnie laughed.

"Huh? How did you know?" Li Wei was completely bewildered. Besides himself, only Teacher Mai Lin knew about this. Perhaps Teacher Mai Lin might have told the Tower Master, but the other apprentices should be unaware of it.

"The White Tower's rewards for you have already been announced, and the notice has been posted there. Junior brother, didn't you know?" Winnie looked equally bewildered.

"?"

After Li Wei returned, he was busy researching magic.

"I'll go take a look."

Li Wei bid farewell to Senior Sister Winnie and then quickly rushed to the White Tower.

The White Snake awoke from her sleep upon seeing Li Wei arrive.

Li Wei then went to the bulletin board.

[Low-level wizard apprentice and high-level pharmacy apprentice of the Gray Tower, and legendary knight Li Wei, has killed a full-fledged wizard from the rival faction, the Undead Ship, and protected Wizard Merlin. He is hereby awarded 500 points. The Undead Ship belongs to the Black Wizard Organization, a wicked force in the Azure Realm, who commits atrocities in our waters. Everyone has a responsibility to fight against the Black Wizard Organization. ————Posted by White-robed Wizard Herman]

"See, junior brother, you're really low-key. I even lectured you before, but I never expected you to be a hidden master, a legendary knight, on par with a first-ring wizard, and you didn't even mention it?" Winnie said incredulously.

Being a legendary knight is an honor that many people dream of. If Winnie became a legendary knight, she would want to find ten thousand bards to go around to different regions every day to spread her glorious deeds.

But when he first met his junior brother, he looked like a clueless newbie, and was also clumsy and silly. After arriving, he stayed at home all day and did not participate in the social activities among the apprentices. As a result, most of the wizard apprentices in the Gray Tower still do not know what Li Wei's name is.

In short, it's quite remarkable that they can live such a life without any presence.

Li Wei was both amused and exasperated.

He stared at the writing on it, then looked at his bracelet.

"548 points... This happiness came too suddenly."

Li Wei was a little confused.

He never intended to tell the tower master about killing the enemy wizard.

He felt that this was nothing special.

After all, the greatest credit actually went to Teacher Mylin, who directly restrained the two formal wizards.

Moreover, Li Wei was used to keeping a low profile, hiding himself, and working quietly without leaving a name. In the mortal world, in order to avoid being noticed by the church, he became a person of the Hidden Path. Therefore, he would never do anything that exposed his strength.

But Li Wei didn't care, while Teacher Mai Lin did.

Out of kindness, she immediately told the tower master about the good news upon her return, and attributed all the credit for killing the formal wizard to Li Wei, making the tower master happy for most of the day on the seventh floor.

Overjoyed, he generously transferred 500 points to Li Wei.

500 points! Many advanced wizard apprentices can't accumulate that many points even after more than ten years in the tower.

Li Wei had only been in the tower for half a year.

He jumped straight to the top of the Grey Tower Rich List.

He also became a prominent figure in the Gray Tower.

This was something Li Wei found difficult to adapt to.

"Ms. Mai Lin."

A sudden warmth filled Li Wei's heart.

He had always imagined the wizarding world to be far worse, a place of survival of the fittest and a dark forest, so he kept a low profile after arriving.

But now he discovers that there are still some kind wizards. Wizards are essentially human, and human nature is hard to change.

It's similar to the case of old man Anderson, who became a vampire.

"Junior brother, from now on, I'll be following you in the Gray Tower. You have to protect me, after all, I'm your guide now, hehe." Winnie said with a shameless smile.

Li Wei was speechless. He said goodbye to Winnie and went to the third floor of the White Tower. He originally wanted to find Teacher Mai Lin to thank her in person, but then he remembered that Teacher Mai Lin might be recuperating, so he went back first.

Along the way, the other aloof wizard apprentices started to greet Li Wei, the newbie junior brother who had been in the tower for half a year.

"Junior brother, what is your legendary title in the mortal realm?"

"Junior brother, when will you come over to my house for a drink? I've loved knights since I was little, but my family won't let me be one. Now that a legendary knight is right here with me, can I touch your pectoral muscles, which are even more developed than mine?"

"Junior brother, thank you for going easy on me in the last assessment battle."

"Junior brother..."

In the past few days, many of the senior brothers and sisters that Li Wei met when he went out have started to get to know him better.

Everyone was shocked upon learning of Li Wei's glorious feat of slaying a formal wizard.

Standing at the window on the seventh floor of the White Tower, the tower's owner, Hermann, looked at Levi with a smile on his face.

He liked this kind of apprentice. When he encountered an enemy, he was ruthless and didn't say much. He directly killed the enemy. When he learned from the witch Mylin that Li Wei had smashed a formal wizard who had learned body enhancement magic with a single hammer blow, he took a liking to this simple and brutal young man.

"Indeed, even though Levi's wizarding talent is average, with such talent in medicine making and the combat strength of a legendary knight, his future status will be no worse than that of a formal wizard, and his future is promising," Tower Master Herman remarked.

……

The next three months.

Teacher Mai Lin has been recovering from her injury.

Winnie was spurred on by Li Wei and meditated even more diligently.

She has good talent and skills, and has also studied meditation since childhood, so she has a solid foundation and there is still hope for her to advance to a formal wizard in the future.

The Tower Master, on the other hand, is obsessed with the study of alchemy, and is almost transitioning from the ocean school to the alchemical school. In Li Wei's view, the Tower Master is going to take the path of physical weakness and mechanical ascension.

Over the course of three months, the hype surrounding Levi, the fake legendary knight, gradually died down.

For the past three months, he has not dared to leave the ninth floor of the Gray Tower.

It's even less likely that they will leave the island.

He's a big name now.

When you're out and about, you're always afraid of being targeted by others.

Especially since he had offended the Ship of the Dead.

Who knows, those damn outlaws might be lying in ambush on the flight path.

So Li Wei figured it out.

I will not step out of this gray tower until I become a formal wizard!

In any case, most things can be resolved in the Gray Tower.

As for the secret medicines and breathing techniques needed for knightly training, Li Wei plans to find an agent to help him collect them in a while.

He quietly stayed at home, studying the new spell models he had acquired and practicing breathing techniques and meditation.

Going out is out of the question.

Today's update is 10000 words, plus an extra 4000 words, leaving 24000 words owed. Also, thank you all for your blessings, especially hlyyop, 旗气质, 莣玟尉, 空启星, 大醇小疵, 墨迹路... and many other generous donors. There are too many to list them all due to time constraints. Thank you!
