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

Bathed in a hazy, blood-red light.

[Bone Gill Swamp] Bubbles rise from it, and when those bubbles burst, they burst into eerie green flames in the gray mist, lasting for several seconds.

Looking out, the misty [Bone Gill Swamp] was shrouded in a layer of swirling green miasma.

Clad in white scales that gleam with a chilling luster, and revealing sharp fangs, the fish-man swam slowly among the water plants and reeds in the marshland.

If a wizard apprentice accidentally enters the territory of these bone-gill murlocs and doesn't escape in time, he will most likely be riddled with holes by these murlocs who possess the [Water Arrow Specialization] ability.

【Bone Gill Swamp】is a common source for the 【Water Breathing】 entry.

The "Breath of Water" attribute allows water-based wizards to roam freely in oceans and rivers and draw magic from the water.

It is said that hundreds of years ago, one could find the Fairy of the Lake on the island in the middle of the marshland and obtain the [Breath of Water] skill.

And now they're still venturing into the [Bone Gill Swamp], most likely to become extra food for those monster fishmen.

At the edge of the Bone and Gill Swamp, three mermen with fierce eyes patrolled the path along the edge of the swamp.

Suddenly, a streak of crimson missile flew over and landed between the three monstrous fishmen.

"boom……"

The astonishing missile explosion sent all three monster fishmen flying.

One of the fishmen was blown to pieces and died instantly.

hissing...

A heavily wounded but not yet dead monstrous fish-man, its fangs wide open, hissing and panting.

The next moment, a blood-red tentacle as thick as an arm transformed into a blood shadow and lashed down.

Click!

With the sound of bones cracking, the severely wounded merman monster died.

The last monster, a fishman, was lucky; it was too far away and was thrown into the swamp.

"Gurgle..."

Seeing that things were not going well, the monster fishman who had fallen into the water immediately dived and ran away.

Immediately afterwards, a missile landed in the marsh, exploding with a loud bang and sending water splashing more than ten meters high.

After a long while, the corpse of the monstrous fishman did not float up.

"What a pity, one got away."

In the dense grass not far away, Verin carefully surveyed the swamp for a moment, and only after confirming that the monster merman was not lying in ambush did he slowly step out.

"However, two are enough."

The scales of the merfolk monsters in the Bone-Gill Swamp can be used as alchemy materials, and their blood is a raw material for life-restoring potions.

However, Valin hunted the merfolk not to collect materials from them.

They arrived at the still-fresh, dead corpse of the monster merman.

An invisible spiritual tentacle reached out.

"Gurgle..."

A large amount of blood, brimming with vitality, was drawn in through the spiritual tentacles, like flowing spring water.

The corpses of the two monster fishmen visibly shriveled up.

Soon, the monster merman's corpse had turned into two dried merman corpses.

Vilin pulled open his witch's robe.

Beneath the gray sorcerer's robe was a pale, close-fitting soft armor.

Meanwhile, the blood that Verin had absorbed was all absorbed onto the pale, close-fitting soft armor [Loser's Blood Curse Armor], and was being digested at a considerable speed. The original pale soft armor began to turn rosy and glossy.

【Loser's Blood Curse Armor】

As a mid-level alchemical artifact, its direct defensive capabilities are not outstanding, but the "shield" formed after being infused with magic power is quite excellent.

What made the Lorther Blood Curse Armor famous in the wizarding world was that once it was nurtured and activated by blood, the strength of its magical shield would double.

The already strong shield doubled after being nourished by blood, making the [Loser Blood Curse Armor] famous overnight.

"The blood of these two monstrous merfolk possesses extremely strong vitality, enough to fully activate the [Loser Blood Curse Armor]."

"From now on, feeding it fresh blood every ten days to half a month will maintain the strength of the Blood Curse Armor."

"I have the ability to suck blood, so obtaining blood is quite easy for me."

"Even back on the Holy Ship, there are still some monster-level gray rats to supply blood."

"With this [Loser Blood Curse Armor], we've made up for our shortcomings in defense."

After bypassing a small rocky hill and climbing a rather rugged mountain path, Vilin arrived at a hidden cave behind a vine-covered rock ledge.

This place is not far from the [Astrological Archives], and the magical energy particles are relatively abundant.

With a few days left before the assembly time, Verin planned to rest here and improve his strength.

Take a bottle of "meditation supplement".

While resting cross-legged in a corner, Verin played with the goose egg-sized, dark brown inheritance stone, a thoughtful expression on his face.

In the wizarding system of magic.

In ordinary witchcraft, the basic, intermediate, and advanced levels correspond to the levels of a wizard's apprentice.

The difficulty of learning and the power of the magic increase in that order.

If someone has exceptional talent for identifying keywords, it's not impossible to master them in advance.

Above ordinary witchcraft is "rare witchcraft".

As a rare-level witchcraft, its overall strength is much higher than that of advanced witchcraft.

Not only is it incredibly difficult to learn, but the threshold for mastering and releasing it is also very high.

Simple witchcraft might consist of simple incantations combined with hand gestures and the manipulation of magic.

Starting with rare-level witchcraft, those are often self-contained systems.

Not only do they need to meet the requirements themselves, but they also need to spend a lot of time researching.

Some rarer witchcraft spells with higher requirements need corresponding [items] as activation items.

Fortunately, this type of rare witchcraft has a very wide range of applications.

From low-level wizard apprentices like Vilin to ring-level wizards, there are corresponding spells for each stage.

It can be said that a rare-level spell encompasses the power of beginner, intermediate, advanced, and ring-level spells.

This is why rare spells are extremely expensive.

"This rare sorcery, the Gate of the Others, requires an extremely strong soul and mental strength, which is precisely my forte."

When Vilin traded with the Tree Spirit Moses, it was precisely for this reason that he chose this rare-level sorcery.

"The White Walkers summoned by the contract are inherently very powerful."

"It is said that when the realms intersected tens of thousands of years ago, the wizarding world experienced the 'White Walker Plague.' Although it was not a catastrophe that swept across the entire wizarding world, it is recorded in many ancient wizarding scrolls."

"The Otherworldly creatures are extremely powerful."

"And my spirit has been amplified by spiritual tentacles, making me no less than a typical level 4 wizard apprentice."

"The White Walker Gate of Witchcraft can be powerfully enhanced, and the level three White Walkers summoned by the contract are no weaker than level four White Walkers in terms of overall strength."

"In this place where low-level wizards fight, such a powerful White Walker can definitely play a huge role."

"More importantly, having a White Walker allows you to do many things."

"For example, in dangerous places, we could send White Walkers to scout ahead, stand guard, and so on."

Even if one dies, it's just returning to another realm, and one can be summoned again.

"I'll spend the next few days here studying and researching this [Gate of the Others], to see if I can complete the summoning ritual."

As he pondered, Verin calmed his mind and slowly channeled his spiritual energy into the inheritance stone, beginning to inherit the rare sorcery, the [Gate of the Others].

While Valin was diligently mastering the sorcery of the Otherworldly Gate and becoming familiar with his alchemical artifacts.

Within the shared origin of magic runes, more and more wizard apprentices are entering.

The fights between wizard apprentices are becoming increasingly frequent.

There were even two battles between several wizard apprentices that broke out not far from the land of Lin Changsheng.

By examining the wizard robes, Vilin could roughly distinguish among the wizard apprentices who possessed the sacred ship.

However, he merely hid in the shadows and observed silently, without participating in the events.

No matter how fierce the external struggles are.

Vilin simply hid in his hideout, quietly improving his strength.
