What kind of wizard are you if you don't have any entries?

In the past few days, the Orville has been navigating through the boundless sea of ​​sand, approaching the Demon Cave several times and encountering several attacks from demons.

However, they were all relatively small in scale and their offensives were generally weak.

The attack from the Ash Ravens of the Blood Curse Wizarding Order was exceptionally fierce, causing serious injuries to many wizard apprentices who participated in the Magic Rune Common Source.

Of the original two hundred junior wizard apprentices, only about thirty have come to the deck.

Verin noticed that most of the wizard apprentices who came to the deck at this time were well-equipped.

A wizard apprentice who can afford alchemical artifacts and armor must also possess considerable overall magical skill.

The many wizard apprentices, who had just recovered from the confrontation between the ring-level wizards, were also discussing it in hushed tones.

"When Lord Cassius's magical energy swept over me just now, I couldn't even move a finger. For a moment, I thought I was going to die on the spot."

"Who wasn't! I collapsed to the ground, my mind frozen."

"You're actually lucky; some people with weaker foundations just fainted."

"This is the power of a Ring-level wizard. Only by becoming a true First-Ring wizard can one be qualified to travel and explore the dangerous places of the wizarding world."

One of the wizard apprentices said enviously.

"It is said that after becoming a first-circle wizard, one can have a lifespan of at least 500 years, which is an enviable longevity."

"Our lifespan as novice wizard apprentices is similar to that of ordinary people. After becoming intermediate wizard apprentices and opening up the magic pool, our bodies and souls are nourished by the magic pool, and our lifespan can easily reach 120 years. We can also maintain a good wizard state until we are 100 years old."

"Many retired old wizard apprentices can live for many more years in the territories of those oasis lords."

"If one becomes a high-level wizard apprentice and constructs a spell model, it will allow the body and soul to be more orderly and maintain the stability of the [entry] to a greater extent. Living for 150 years is no problem."

"I remember, in our Vlad Oasis territory, there was an old wizard apprentice who was over 120 years old and managed to get a young girl who had just come of age pregnant. He was truly vigorous for his age!"

Upon hearing this, many wizard apprentices around chuckled softly.

On the path to becoming a wizard, many wizards whose talents are not strong enough stop at the intermediate or advanced wizard apprentice level.

When they could no longer climb higher, many would head to those oasis territories to find suitable work and serve their lord.

The pursuit of dreams often cannot withstand the challenges of reality.

"Hey! Verin, you're here too."

Just as Verin was listening intently to the discussion among the other wizarding apprentices around him, a surprised exclamation rang out.

He was the wizard apprentice, Aglonn.

During his time aboard the Orville, Verin learned that Aglen had reportedly participated in several journeys to the [Magic Rune Origin Land], returning safely each time.

Logically speaking, with such a foundation, he should have been promoted to intermediate wizard apprentice long ago.

However, he remained at the level of a third-level wizard apprentice.

There are so many intricacies involved that it's clear that Verin is not capable of figuring them out at his current level.

"I hid well just now; those crows were lucky they didn't find me."

Verin responded calmly.

"Being able to evade the Sand Raven's attack is not just a matter of good luck."

Aglen glanced at Verin and said meaningfully.

He then gazed into the distance.

Following his gaze, Vilin vaguely saw the outlines of a pile of giant stone tablets deep in the desert.

That is the location of the entrance to the [Magic Rune Common Source].

"The Origin of Magic Runes was originally a terrifying demon cave, and there are even rumors that a terrifying [Forbidden Overlord] is sealed inside, wielding terrifying [Forbidden Words]. The distortion, loss of control, and even alienation of our words are all inextricably linked to these [Forbidden Words]."

"The source of alienation and pollution—the forbidden ruler?"

Verin's heart trembled.

The wizarding world is full of hidden, terrifying, and even indescribable things.

[The taboo superior] is one of them.

These "Forbidden Leaders" are said to be the carriers of "Forbidden Words," whose "Forbidden Words" can reshape the rules and even possess the terrifying power to change the world.

In some ancient legends, many major events are more or less related to the "forbidden ruler".

Is there really some kind of "taboo leader" involved?

With his gaze drawn away from the ancient cluster of stone tablets, Verin asked curiously.

"I don't know!"

Aglen shook his head.

"Perhaps they are part of the [Forbidden Leaders], or perhaps some [Ancient Heroic Spirits] that have developed their own will. Who can truly know the stories in these rumors!"

"However, it's certain that there are quite a few impressive entries among them."

"That's why this place was transformed by ancient wizards into a training ground for young wizards."

"However, nothing can withstand the erosion of time, and these ancient ruins are no exception."

"Although this [Mana Origin Site] can still yield many powerful [affixes] through rituals, many ancient magic circles, hidden gates, and alien powers within it have lost control. Even high-level wizards dare not venture into many areas, and we low-level wizard apprentices could easily perish there if we are not careful."

"Over the years, there have been many talented young wizards who have wanted to acquire powerful terms, but very few have been able to achieve anything and return."

"Haven't you been going in and out many times yourself? Is it really polite to say that?"

Vilin glanced at Agleen out of the corner of his eye and silently complained to himself.

Sitting cross-legged in a corner of the Orville's deck, Verin meditated to restore his magic power while summarizing the lessons learned from the previous battle.

"Although I used the [Tentacle Missiles] to effectively block the ravens' attack."

"But when you're actually facing the enemy, the target won't just stand there like an idiot and let me attack."

"When casting Tentacle Missiles, I can release a portion of [Mental Tentacles], which will allow the spell to be cast faster and give me a significant advantage when facing enemies."

"After the tag collaboration, my tentacles also gained a powerful ability to suck blood."

"When he's sucking blood..."

Vilin carefully recalled the scene when he used his tentacles to suck the blood of the Sand Raven.

"It will exert a very strong suppressive effect on the target unit."

"This is why the ability of a creature bitten by a vampire to resist is greatly reduced."

"Although I am not a vampire, the Silver-tier [Vampiric Touch] has a similar effect when it sucks blood."

"This is also an aspect that can be utilized."

……

Two hours passed in a flash.

Although the effects of meditation are not very good in this desolate desert.

But Vilin hadn't consumed much energy before.

When the sand barge docked at the area of ​​the ancient stone tablets, Vilin had already recovered to his peak condition and even meditated for a while.

The sun was blazing, and waves of heat rolled through the air.

The young wizard apprentices, who had recovered from their meditation, rose to their feet.

There were many people, but it was unusually quiet.

Not far away, a huge black stone monument, about a hundred meters high, stands tall in the golden desert.

Despite being exposed to wind and sun, and battered by sand and gravel for tens of thousands of years.

The towering black stone monument remains quite intact.

"Be careful, don't stare at the [Black Disaster Vertical Pupil] at the top of the Black Disaster Stone Tablet for too long. It will affect your eyesight and may even cause you to lose your sight forever. That is a carrier of calamity power containing strange magical runes."

Just then, Brandy's reminder came from the side.

Upon hearing this, Vilin looked up, and just as he looked at the top of the Black Calamity Stele, the huge eye that was originally carved on the stele seemed to come alive and stared back at Vilin.

At the same time, a tingling, warm sensation flowed through my eyes.

Verin immediately lowered his head and pulled down his wizard's hood to cover his vision.

"Those who are ready to enter, please disembark with me and prepare to enter. The magic rune vortex teleportation channel below will send you in, but your exact landing point will depend on your luck."

"It's worth mentioning that this place was originally where ancient wizards trained young wizards."

"Therefore, the strength of the keywords will affect your landing point with a certain probability."

"The landing location of the Black Iron attribute is likely to be worse, while the landing location of the Bronze attribute is slightly better, but it's not absolute. In short, it's always better to be careful."

"Did those ancient wizards really practice this kind of discrimination?"

Vilin raised an eyebrow in the crowd.

"Luckily, I have silver and even gold affixes, so... I can look forward to finding a foothold!"
