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

The Darkthorn Witch's Hut, second floor.

Lady Mora, dressed in a white-trimmed court dress, maintained her elegant demeanor as always.

"I heard you went into the tower?"

Lady Mora smiled as she looked Vilin up and down.

"Barely passed the alchemy test."

Verin responded calmly.

"However, the competition inside the tower is much fiercer than in the factory. I came here this time to ask you, Madam Mora, for some information."

Over the past few days, Vilin has also learned about some of the situations inside the tower.

There are quite a few alchemy apprentices with alchemical talent.

Some even come from wizarding families and have the strong support of their families.

Some are descendants of important figures, who are naturally superior to others.

Those high-ranking wizards themselves have been baptized by the source of the word, and their descendants will inherit their bloodline to a certain extent.

They will be far superior to ordinary wizard apprentices in every aspect.

Those wizards with background and resources can still provide a safety net even if they don't become alchemists.

Unlike solitary wizards like Verin, many things can only be done by themselves.

"Have you heard any news about Agrarian while you've been inside the tower these past few days?"

As Verin was pondering, Lady Mora asked first.

"Agren?"

Verin searched carefully, then shook his head.

"After Aglen returned, he left early the next morning with the people who came from the tower."

"And then... he never came back, and there was no news of him at all."

"I asked around, but I didn't get any information about Aglen."

As Lady Mora spoke, a hint of worry appeared between her brows.

Upon hearing this, Weilin frowned.

"Perhaps... the tower wants to protect him!"

"After all, he has a silver-level attribute quality and gold-level stats, with a certain gold-level origin. Such top-level wizarding talent is extremely rare even within the Tower."

"Maybe so, or perhaps I'm overthinking it!"

The worry on Lady Mora's fair face vanished, replaced by a slight smile.

"You, Aglen, were of great help during our trip to the Land of Shared Magic Runes."

"Consider this intelligence gathering as a way of repaying you for your previous help to Aglen."

Putting aside the matter of Aglen, Verin straightened his expression and said.

"Lady Mora, I've been trying to break through and condense a magical energy vortex these past few days, but every time I reach a crucial moment, the vortex collapses on its own. What's going on?"

Advancing to the intermediate wizard apprenticeship level is the most urgent matter at hand.

Verin also made some attempts, but all of them ended in failure.

What kind of meditation method do you practice?

"Scarlet Tentacles Meditation Method".

Verin responded crisply and decisively.

"Then it's not surprising!"

Lady Mora smiled gently.

"Different meditation methods require certain external conditions to achieve breakthroughs, and may even require the help of rituals."

"When you bought this meditation method, the person definitely didn't mention that you need to be in the Crimson Moon environment to break through to the key level."

Verin instantly realized what was happening.

"It turns out we were missing a crucial link. No wonder I failed every time I tried to break through."

"Your core attributes are quite strong; advancing to the intermediate level during the Crimson Moon shouldn't be a problem."

Weilin nodded, silently complaining to himself.

"That damned swindler didn't tell me about something so important."

With the breakthrough issue resolved, Verin breathed a sigh of relief.

"in addition……"

Verin looked up at Lady Mora again.

Do you know where I can buy potions with the fire element affinity attribute?

"A potion with fire elemental affinity?"

Lady Mora pondered for a moment, then shook her head.

"【Potion with】attribute is rare enough, let alone a 【Potion with】attribute that specifically has fire affinity."

"You can try your luck at the wizard exchange meeting on our Holy Ship, but it's best not to have too much hope."

Verin frowned.

He possesses a powerful system, but no matter what, he still needs to obtain the basic entries first.

Without a foundation of terms, he couldn't create something out of thin air.

"It's for cultivating the [Crimson Rune Alchemy], which requires an affinity for fire elements, right?"

Verin raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, that's right!"

Clearly, this information was not a secret to Lady Mora.

"If you want to obtain the Fire Affinity attribute, you might want to check out the wizard camp near the Forge Gate in the Underground Realm."

"As far as I know, many wizards who practice powerful alchemy have obtained the weak attribute of fire element affinity there."

"Although it's a weak term, it's still sufficient to adapt to the alchemical fire."

The Gate to the Forge of Another World?

Wizard camp?

Valin had naturally heard about the alien furnace gate beneath the Holy Ship and the wizarding camp there.

"The Gate to the Otherworldly Forge leads to the otherworldly plane [The Ancient Abyss of Blood Moon], which is the plane that our Saint Tarot is currently focusing on attacking."

"Dimensional wars are still a bit far off for you right now."

"All you need to know is that the [world rule entries] from other realms can seep into the underground of our world through the gates of the otherworldly furnace."

"When the rules of two worlds collide, some elemental origins will condense and be born."

"The Ancient Abyss of the Crimson Moon plane has a large number of volcanoes, and the fire element is exceptionally abundant. When it seeps into our world, it creates a substance called [Volcanic Source Crystal]."

"By drawing upon the fire elemental essence within, it is possible to create a fire elemental affinity attribute."

"And this is what underground wizards often call 'fire absorption'."

"Of course, 'fire absorption' is dangerous. Not only is it contaminated by foreign elements, but excessive fire absorption can also cause one to set oneself on fire. Every year, many wizard apprentices burn themselves to death underground."

"But it is still a stable place to acquire weak affixes, and many wizard apprentices will spend some time to obtain them in order to increase their own affix base."

"Also... as you might have guessed from the name of the Blood Moon Ancient Abyss plane, it is a world with a blood moon."

"The power of the blood moon over there projects into the underground every once in a while, and the underground is also a good place for you to break through."

Although Verin was secretly delighted, his expression remained calm.

"No wonder the Holy Ship has the power of the Crimson Moon, and it hasn't dissipated for so long."

"So it was the Crimson Moon from another land that infiltrated."

"Whether it's acquiring vocabulary or breaking through to a higher realm, it seems I'll have to make a trip to this underground wizard camp."

Just as Vilin, having made a fruitful harvest, was about to get up and leave.

"Vellin, wait a moment, I have something to show you."

Lady Mora called out to Verin, then got up and walked toward the monster's treasure chest in a corner.

Before long, Lady Mora came over carrying a brown box containing secret artifacts.

The secret treasure box was covered with seals and binding magic runes.

It was easy to tell from Lady Mora's solemn expression that the items inside were extremely valuable.

As Lady Mora opened the secret box, a familiar feeling washed over her.

"It's the aura of the origin of the Golden Key!"

Verin felt a slight tremor in his heart.

Inside the secret box, a golden glass chalice, inlaid with several lustrous gemstones, lay quietly.

Just by looking at him, Vilin could feel a profound and ancient aura.

"This is……"

Verin looked at Lady Mora with some confusion.

"This is an ancient relic from a foreign land—the Holy Grail."

"What is stored in the Holy Grail is the origin of the Golden Words, but the origin of the Golden Words has been completely absorbed, and the little remaining cannot be extracted."

"You can pick it up and feel it."

Even before he got his hands on it, he already sensed it.

After all, he has two golden attributes within him.

However, since the other party had already said that, Weilin didn't hold back.

The ancient relic, the Golden Grail, is quite heavy.

Before Velin could fully appreciate the details, a sudden change occurred.

[Golden keyword fragment detected. Absorb it?]

The system notification almost made Verin drop the Holy Grail from his hand.

"This...this system has this function?"
