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

"Buzzing..."

Inside the alchemy room, amidst the soft rumble of the flaming furnace.

Vellin completed the first inscription of the magical texture.

After cooling for a moment, Vilin placed the Wind Wings construct, forged from refined silver iron, into the enchanting device.

The device activated, emitting a slight fluctuation of magical energy.

Vilin sat cross-legged with his eyes closed on the open ground to the side.

The details of the etching process and the material properties of refined silver smelting iron flashed through his mind.

"The properties of this refined silver slag are quite different from those of my previous construct materials."

"Wind-type magic runes are more difficult to etch, and there will be a certain degree of magic energy interference during the engraving process. Although I can use precision to eliminate these interferences, I need to etch deeper to complete the structure of wind-type magic runes, at least 36% deeper."

"At the same time, the adhesion between the solidified texture and the material is exceptionally high, so it can no longer be etched according to the previous standards. It needs to be reduced by at least 62%."

"The exact values ​​of this material's magical conductivity are not yet clear. Depending on the material's properties, the curvature of the magical runes in different parts will need to be finely adjusted."

"These material properties require multiple practices to become familiar with. Based on the attribute values ​​formed by this first round of enchanting, I can get a general idea."

"..."

While meditating, Velin's brain was like a high-speed, precision machine, quickly summarizing the alchemical experience from the first round and formulating adjustments to the alchemical approach for the second round.

Drip!

Infusion complete.

Flexibility: 12%

The values ​​displayed on the enchanting machine made Verin raise an eyebrow.

This value far exceeds that of any of his previous Alchemist Wings.

However, considering that it uses more advanced materials, the strength of this flexibility attribute is likely insufficient.

After roughly outlining the approach...

Valin threw the alchemical wing back into the furnace and began the second round of alchemy.

Time passed by, second by second.

Soon, the second round of alchemy was completed.

Flexibility: 14%

The strength of the finished entries in the second round was significantly improved compared to the first round.

At the same time, Vilin's understanding of this material also deepened considerably.

After a period of reflection and rest.

Valin threw it into the furnace and began the third round of alchemy.

After about two hourglasses.

Drip!

The third round of alchemy and enchanting is complete.

Vilin, who was meditating and resting cross-legged on the ground, slowly opened his eyes.

Flexibility: 15%

His gaze swept over the numerical values ​​of the infusion machine.

Verin let out a soft breath.

The third round of magic rune engraving is a decent improvement over the second round, but the numerical improvement is not significant, which means it is very close to the material's own limit.

"Continuing to work on it won't bring much improvement in the short term, so this 15% flexibility should be enough."

Once the small wing had cooled down, Verin pushed open the alchemy room door with the final product.

"Squeak..."

Cassius and Brandy, who were inside the room, both looked at Verin as he came out.

Brandy took a deep breath and stood up, her expression showing a hint of anticipation.

"Vellin, how's it going?"

"It took me some time to familiarize myself with the materials, but it should be alright."

Verin stepped forward and placed the alchemical wing on the table in front of the ring-level wizard Cassius.

"Huh!"

Cassius's gaze fell on the silver-gray alchemical wings, and he uttered a sound of surprise.

He picked up the small gold-plated wing and examined it closely, his expression gradually becoming serious.

While waiting, Verin also became nervous.

Although he could guess that a 15% entry strength should be good, it was his first time dealing with this material, so he was somewhat unsure of himself.

The room fell silent for a moment.

"Did you just make this?"

A moment later, Cassius suddenly raised his head, his eyes, as blue as the sands of the desert, staring directly at Verin.

That strange gaze caused a slight change in Verin's heart.

He then calmed himself down.

"Yes, Lord Cassius!"

"This is my first time working with this material. If I had more time, I might be able to improve it further."

Weilin had just finished speaking.

Cassius's brow suddenly relaxed.

"Hahaha……"

He burst into laughter, and the air in the entire room seemed to vibrate with his laughter.

Cassius looked at Brandy with a delighted expression.

"Brandy, I never expected you to find an alchemical genius!"

"Not bad, not bad..."

His gaze returned to Verin, and his smile widened.

"Look at what you're saying. Give it some more time, and it can improve even more. Tsk tsk... You know, the limit for the flexibility of this refined silver iron is 16%."

"Many tower apprentices spend their entire lives struggling to achieve 15% dexterity, yet you're able to reach that level on your very first encounter with this material."

"This is certainly due to your precise attribute settings, but your own alchemical talent is also extraordinary."

"Good! Excellent! Our Holy Ship needs alchemical geniuses like you."

After praising him, Cassius's joy gradually subsided, and he looked at Brandy and gave him a serious instruction.

"Do not reveal that Vellin possesses a talent for alchemy."

"In the past year, two silver-level alchemy geniuses and four promising bronze-level apprentices from our tower have died inexplicably."

"This involves both hostile forces and some of our own people stabbing us in the back, hehe... Some people just can't stand to see our faction doing well."

"clear!"

Brandy responded cautiously.

"You are familiar with the apprenticeship process at the Wizarding Tower. You guided Verin through it and explained everything in detail. He is new to the tower and doesn't know much about many things inside."

Then Cassius looked at Verin and smiled.

"Vellin, from this day forward, you are a Tower Apprentice of Merlin's Tower!"

Apprentice at the Tower!

Vilin's heart skipped a beat, and his fists clenched slightly beneath his robes.

"The Tower Apprentice... has finally shed his lowly status as a lowly alchemist's ox or horse!"

Once you become a wizarding apprentice in the tower, your future wizarding path will be different.

With the magical document signed by Cassius, Brandy left the room with Verin.

Watching the two figures walk away.

Cassius looked thoughtful, then picked up the small silver-gray alchemical wing, examined it closely, and then put it down again.

"This Vellin does indeed have a good talent for alchemy, and he's a guy who fought his way back from the Land of the Common Source of Magic Runes."

"Moreover, judging from the conversations of those wizard apprentices, although his vocabulary is average, his strength is not weak."

"They should have also gained something within the shared origin of magic runes."

"With proper training, there is a slight chance that they could become a first-ring wizard in the future."

Despite saying that, Cassius was well aware of the difficulty of becoming a first-ring wizard.

Hundreds of wizarding apprentices enter the Holy Ship every year.

Very few people are able to become high-level wizard apprentices.

Becoming a first-ring wizard requires arduous training for more than ten or even several decades.

"But no matter what, this Velin has some potential for development. After all, he is a top-grade bronze-level [Precision] attribute, and has some of the characteristics of a silver attribute."

"Well, I'll report to Lady 'Lovina' first."

Cassius took out a piece of magical stationery and began to write.

Although these High Tower Alchemy Apprentices who enter the Tower are nominally apprentices of their mentor, Merlin Dis.

But their advisors don't care about these things.

They were all led by second-ring wizards, and these first-ring wizards brought them out.

Their faction is led by the second-ring shadow wizard, "Lovina".

Only those alchemy apprentices in the tower who become true first-circle wizards are qualified to become "disciples of the spell" of "Merlin Dis" and have the hope of being guided by "Merlin Dis".

After finishing writing, Cassius summoned an owl messenger to deliver the magical letter, then went to the window.

"Cough cough..."

A moment later, Cassius coughed violently, and then veins as thick as earthworms pierced his skin on his face, twisting and writhing in the air.

He expressionlessly took out a bottle of black medicine and drank it. Only then were the writhing blood vessels slowly suppressed and retreated under the skin.

"After Ivan Thorne advanced to the next level, his strength increased dramatically. He suffered a considerable loss this time, but he wasn't much better off."

"I have spent ten years honing my skills in the early stages of the first ring. When the crimson moon descends again in the [Crimson Moon Ancient Abyss Realm], I will be able to attempt a breakthrough. However, before that, I must completely remove his blood curse."
