Wizard Immortal

Chapter 505 A Century

"So many years have passed, but Sisley City is still the same."

Walking along the wide concrete road, Som smiled and quietly looked at the scenery around him.

It was nightfall, and he stood under the streetlights, looking very thin. He wore a large black robe, and his shadow stretched long on the ground.

So many years have passed, and he must be over sixty years old now.

Time keeps passing, but he seems to be frozen at the moment he just came of age. He doesn't look like a man in his sixties, but rather like a young man.

Of course, that is indeed the case.

Considering the long lifespan of a level three wizard, he is still very young and has a long youth to enjoy in the future.

"However, this time it's just me taking office, why do you have to come along too, teacher?"

Looking at the distant scenery, Som turned around and looked at the person beside him.

Beside him stood a boy dressed in a white robe.

The young man had a handsome and refined appearance, a tall and straight figure, and a flawless face. His silver-jewel-like eyes gazed quietly into the distance, filled with deep reminiscence and longing.

"I came here to see the city where I first arrived."

Looking at Som beside him and at the city in the distance that had changed so much, Adir smiled and said, "Thinking about it, the last time I came back was thirty years ago. If I don't come back this time, I'm afraid I'll be able to come back less and less in the future."

"Also, while the three of them, Lera, are all here, I thought I'd take this opportunity to come and see them and have a little get-together."

"Teacher, if you want to see your brothers, you can just send them back. Why bother making the trip yourself?"

Beside him, Som said with a smile.

"That's different."

Adir shook his head, then, with Som beside him, they walked forward chatting as they went.

On the road, as time passed, boys and girls in uniforms walked across the street, each with a smile on their face.

On the familiar road, occasionally a few vehicles would drive by.

This scene felt both strange and very familiar to Adir.

Once upon a time, his hometown looked just like this.

Over several decades, with the remnants of the modern world still living there, some technologies were quickly restored, and within a short period of time, a strong light of civilization was ignited on this land.

Smooth roads were built, and the original horse-drawn carriages were phased out decades ago and replaced with the latest smokeless cars.

In terms of technology alone, the world today has surpassed the modern world of the past.

The discovery and utilization of elemental particles, as well as breakthroughs in the research on wizards, knights, and even bloodline power, led to the invention of new technologies that were rapidly applied to various aspects of life.

In fact, Adir gave them a push during this process.

It not only provides a wealth of knowledge and information for wizards, but also a large amount of readily available technology.

Adir's second transmigration took place in a technologically advanced world. In that world, Adir's chip had stored a considerable amount of technical data.

Now, with a vast world as its foundation and base, these technologies are gradually being put to use to their fullest potential.

Along the road, some boys and girls kept passing by, some with gloomy faces, while others had obvious joy on their faces.

"Looking at the time, it's that time of year again for testing."

Looking at the boys and girls walking along the road, Adir smiled slightly: "I wonder how many geniuses will emerge from this batch of students."

"There will always be quite a few."

Watching the crowd disperse in the distance, Som nodded slightly: "Based on last year's experience, even in the year with the fewest number of apprentices at the fifth rank, there are still several thousand people in the annual assessment."

"The number of people being assessed this year is much higher than in previous years, and the number may exceed previous figures, reaching tens of thousands."

"Not bad." Adir nodded slightly upon hearing the number.

By now, the wizard and knight systems have become quite widespread.

In the colleges of each state, there are generally courses taught for knights and wizards, specifically for those who are qualified.

In various places, after more than fifty years of development, there are many knights and wizards traveling around, serving the empire in all walks of life.

Perhaps in some big cities, a person who usually wears a uniform and goes to get off work on time is a wizard or a knight.

Of course, even if wizards and knights were truly popularized, the number of real, formal wizards would still be very small, and each one would be very precious.

A certified wizard, once he obtains the relevant certification, can earn a large sum of money every year even if he does nothing but registers his name with some companies.

Even a first-class apprentice can easily live a comfortable life if they are willing to work.

Compared to ordinary people, wizards have a huge advantage. Especially with the advancement of rune technology today, there are many positions that can only be performed by wizards, which ordinary people do not even have the ability to perform.

To become a wizard or knight, one must undergo a test in the year after completing higher education. Once the test confirms one's aptitude, one can then travel to various academies for further study.

Of course, if one is born into a large family with sufficient wealth, one can also cultivate oneself to become a wizard.

However, generally speaking, the only way for most people to become wizards or knights is to study at an academy.

And this is often the moment that determines the fate of some people.

For Adir and Som, students with aptitude below level three hardly needed their attention; what truly needed their attention were students with aptitude above level three.

Even with the advancements in technology, the chances of an ordinary student becoming a full-fledged wizard are still not very high, unless their family provides some support.

According to recent statistics, those with qualifications below level three have a chance of being promoted after receiving formal education at a college, which is usually around one in four.

The odds seem pretty good, but among this group, let alone advancing to the second level of wizard, even elementalization is very rare. Most of them are stuck at the level of first-level wizard.

Apprentices with a third-class aptitude or higher have a relatively higher chance of being promoted to second-class wizards. As for third-class wizards, they are basically all fifth-class aptitude.

Of course, this data only reflects the current situation and cannot represent much.

After all, only forty or fifty years have passed since Adir ended the war and unified the major empires.

Forty or fifty years is a period of time, equivalent to two or three generations for ordinary people. But for extraordinary beings like wizards, this amount of time is nothing.

Even a third-class apprentice can easily live for one or two hundred years if they are willing and use some anti-aging spells, not to mention the stronger ones.

Forty or fifty years is not enough time to fully unleash the potential of wizards. Most of the first batch of apprentices who entered the academy are still in their prime and have great potential to continue to advance, or even go further.

Walking on the road, gazing at the city lights in the distance, Adir unconsciously began to think about many things, until the familiar figure appeared before him once again.

"teacher."

On one side of the road, Lera and his two companions stood there, each with a smile on their face.

"You've arrived."

Adir raised his head, a smile on his face.

"Teacher, it's been years, but you haven't changed a bit."

Looking at Adir in front of him, Lera smiled and felt a sense of relief he had never felt before.

After years of getting to know each other's temperaments, they had all become accustomed to each other's personalities and regarded each other as family. When they met again this time, there was not a trace of awkwardness, but rather a feeling of warmth and closeness in their hearts.

Slim and Chim were also there; although their expressions differed, their warmth was exactly the same.

A faint silver light began to rise, and three silver rays flashed across Adir's body before landing in front of Lera and the other two.

This radiance was dazzling, radiating the most beautiful and flawless light. It seemed to contain a world within it, vast and majestic, carrying the primal aura unique to Adir.

"Teacher, what's this?"

Standing there, staring at the three beams of light before them, Lera and the other two were stunned for a moment, and then asked in unison.

"My three bloodline origins."

Standing there, looking at Lera and the other two, Adir's expression was calm: "Decades have passed, and the three of you have reached this point. It's time to use these..."

Decades have passed, and in their training on the path of the knight, the three of them, Lera and his companion, have all reached the end of the path of the Radiant Knight. They are just one step away from advancing to the Origin stage.

What hindered them was nothing other than their bloodline.

The advancement to Origin Knight requires possessing ancient bloodlines. However, the three people before them, including Lera, are undoubtedly ordinary people, and naturally cannot possess any ancient bloodlines.

The three bloodline origins before us are preparations for this.

These three bloodline origins were all slowly extracted from Adir's own body, requiring not only a large amount of world power to nurture and nourish them, but also a portion of his own power.

Based on this, these three sources undoubtedly possess the potential to advance to level four. As long as Lera and the other two put in enough effort, they can use this as a foundation to transform themselves into Moon Elf bloodlines.

"teacher···"

Gazing at the three sources of origin, Lera and the other two fell silent for a moment. Among them, Qi Mu couldn't help but interject, "There's no need for this. The three of us can advance to the Origin Realm using the bloodlines of those royal descendants. Why make you, teacher, expend your own source..."

"The bloodlines of those royal descendants, the very essence of those ancient kings, are still alive. Using their bloodlines is far too dangerous."

Standing before him, Adir shook his head: "Using their bloodline is tantamount to being bound by them. If one day those ancient kings stand before you, you probably won't even have the right to fight them."

"Instead of doing that, it would be better to use my bloodline directly. It would just take a little more time to recover."

Standing still, he spoke calmly.

Differentiating into three bloodline origins is certainly not as easy as he described, but for Adir now, it won't be too serious.

With the nourishment of the world's power, he will be able to recover his lost essence within a few decades at most.

"Moreover, the reason I'm doing this is because I need your strength as well."

Looking at the three students in front of him, he sighed: "In a few decades, I will leave this world."

"Leave?" Upon hearing this word, the people present were stunned.

"Decades have passed, and the world's recovery period is nearing its end. In a few decades at most, it will come to an end."

Standing still, Adir spoke softly: "Once the world's recovery period ends, I will leave this world and return to my own."
