Wizard: I brought the wrong system...

Chapter 69 is settled

Yaro succinctly stated, "Fire, water, and earth—the three elements."

"Three systems?"

Desi nodded slightly.

"The Elemental Triangle Meditation Method? That's a great choice. You can also upgrade it to the Six-Element Starlight Meditation Method later, which will enhance your elemental affinity by six times and increase your chances of becoming a formal wizard."

Yaro has a poor affinity for energy, so he can absorb less void energy. However, he chose three elements, which means he can extract three elements from the same void energy that he can absorb.

Desi changed the subject, "The idea is good, but it will divide your magic into three types, and these three types of magic will affect each other, making it more difficult for you to learn spells than for others."

Everyone's mental strength limit is roughly the same. In other words, when everyone reaches the advanced wizard apprentice level, Yaro's single-element magic power will only be one-third of that of the others.

If he continues to advance in meditation techniques, his total single-element magic power may only be one-sixth of that of a single-element wizard.

"If your spellcasting ability is not good, your breakthrough as an intermediate wizard apprentice will not be smooth."

"To advance to the intermediate wizard apprentice level, you need to imprint a core spell that matches the elemental attribute in your sea of ​​consciousness, which requires you to have proficient spellcasting skills."

"Single-element meditation only requires imprinting one element from that element. However, with three or six elements, you need to imprint a corresponding number of core spells, which consumes a lot of time and energy."

"Therefore, when you break through to the intermediate wizard apprentice level, it's best not to advance your meditation technique yet. It's not too late to study your own path after you've reached the intermediate wizard apprentice level."

Yaro was aware of the difficulties involved, but his aptitude was simply too poor, and he had no obvious advantage in taking any path. So he might as well go straight to his goal and choose the path that was most likely to make him a formal wizard.

Moreover, Yaro's mother was also an all-elemental wizard. If he followed the same path, he could learn from his mother's experience in breaking through to become a formal wizard.

However, even though Yaro knew all this, he still accepted Desi's favor.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Desi. I will consider it."

Desi smiled and said, "I think I don't need to say much. After all, you also come from a wizarding family, and your family must have made plans for your future development."

"If you encounter any problems practicing spellcasting in the future, you can come to me, I..."

Wait a minute, something seems off?

Desi paused, stopped in his tracks, and looked abruptly at Yaro: "What did you say earlier?"

"Huh? What's in front?" Yaro was taken aback. "The three systems?"

"No!" Desi immediately denied it, pressing further, "You use the Three-Element Meditation Method. How's your practice of the basic elemental tricks of these three elements going?"

Didn't I already say that?

Yaro was puzzled, but he explained again, "They can all be cast."

"No need for auxiliary casting?"

Yaro understood, nodded, and subconsciously said, "We still need to form hand seals."

Desi suddenly realized, "No wonder you wanted to enter the strange space. That's right, your mental strength is already sufficient. As long as you have enough magic stones, your magic power will soon catch up with your mental strength. In addition, you've almost mastered your basic tricks. It's indeed time to prepare for your attempt to become an intermediate wizard apprentice!"

Use magic stones to accelerate the growth of magic power?

Yaro was slightly taken aback. He had indeed considered all the other things Desi mentioned, but this was the only one he had never thought of.

But thinking about it from another perspective, it makes a lot of sense.

The other wizard apprentices did not possess the same exaggerated mental strength as Yaro, so they needed to meditate slowly, absorbing the void energy in the space in this way while simultaneously tempering their own mental strength.

The problem I'm facing is different. My mental strength has already reached the level of an intermediate wizard apprentice. It would be better to use magic stones to increase my magic power first. Once I become an intermediate wizard apprentice, I can use the Six-Star Meditation Method to train my mental strength. That would definitely be more effective than training it now.

Magic stones are essentially collections of void energy, and because they have been refined by wizards, the void energy within them is even more easily absorbed.

Thinking about the effects of the magic stones, and then about the dozen or so magic stones his mother had given him, Yaro suddenly realized.

I told you, these ten or so magic stones, no more, no less.

I can't seem to use the knowledge I've cultivated on my own, and when I want to buy some key knowledge, all of that knowledge requires contribution points.

I've been collecting these magic stones day after day, and they're almost shiny with oil from handling them.

So that's why her mother gave her the magic stone!

Yaro casually answered Desi's questions and headed towards the intermediate apprentice city.

Junior apprentices can reach the intermediate apprentice level by taking a shortcut, but almost no one does it.

So this was the first time that Yarrow had ever seen the city of intermediate apprentices.

Compared to the quiet and beautiful Emerald Plains, Intermediate Apprentice City has a more otherworldly feel.

On both sides are tall, clean, and neat houses, and the street is flat and clean. I wonder if someone cleans it every day.

Shops selling all sorts of magical items lined both sides of the street, but no one shouted like they did at Battle Corner Street.

Intermediate apprentices dressed in various mysterious robes walked back and forth in groups of three or five through the streets, while many warriors in blood-stained armor emerged from around the corners and hurriedly blended into the crowd.

It seems that the intermediate apprentice city has far more people than the beginner apprentice city, but that's normal, since there are dozens of beginner apprentice cities, while there's only one intermediate apprentice city.

Continue onward and you will arrive at the center of a square.

A statue of a pure and holy maiden, tens of meters tall, comes into view. She holds her hands in a cupped-back gesture, from which streams of clear spring water gush forth, adding a touch of moisture to the soft light.

After bypassing the magnificent and sacred white stone maiden, Desi led Yaro into a small alley.

As they ventured deeper into the street, the sounds of clanging and hammering gradually filled the air, and Yaro looked curiously at the blacksmith shops on both sides.

I never expected that the Intermediate Apprentice City would have a dedicated blacksmith street. Looking at the items hanging in their shops, most of them are various weapons and armor, which really ruins the mysterious feeling of the wizarding academy.

As Yaro looked around, Desi suddenly stopped and shouted loudly, "Uncle Morgan!"

Yaro turned his head curiously and saw a strong man who was at least two meters tall. He was shirtless, holding a giant hammer, and standing by the furnace. His dark muscles gleamed with a faint sheen, and he looked like a terrifying bear.

"Oh, little Desi, what's the matter?"

The burly man stopped hammering and turned his head, making a dull sound.

"This is my brother, Yarrow. He's still a beginner apprentice, preparing for his first time entering the strange space."

"I'd like you to help me see if there are any teams that are going into the beginner-level eerie space soon, and if you can help them out."

Should I find someone to guide me?

Although he felt it was unnecessary, Yaro did not refuse. After all, it was his first time entering the academy's strange space, and it wouldn't hurt to check things out first.

Yaro also called out "Uncle Morgan".

Morgan glanced at Yaro a few times, then turned to Desi and said, "As you know, the academy is about to hold its year-end competition again, so many strong teams will come back to prepare. Recently, quite a few teams of junior apprentices have taken this opportunity to enter."

"Today there's Narcissus, tomorrow there'll be Nobel."

Desi quickly pressed, "Narcissus? What time is it today?"

Seeing Desi's anxious look, Yaro also felt a little curious. Who was Narcissus?

Morgan said in a low voice, "She told me to go this afternoon, and she should be here to pick up the armor soon."

Desi turned and asked, "Yaro, is this afternoon alright?"

This was exactly what Yaro wanted; he had originally planned to go in alone.

"Can."
