Wizard's Journey

Chapter 401 "Poisoning"

"Is this the interior of the Seventh Ring Heart?"

Green, who was also entering the Seventh Ring Tower for the first time, was momentarily confused by the bright sunshine inside the tower, the plaza covered with white tiles, and the wizards coming and going.

The inside and outside of the Holy Tower are two completely different concepts, as if you have jumped from one world to another!

wrong……

If you think about it carefully, the Heart of the Wizarding World can be the same. It's a wondrous place that can be created at will, like something out of a myth, except that it's not controlled by any subjective will.

The heart of this fantastical world is controlled by a seventh-circle True Spirit Wizard.

"Senior brother..."

Vivian was panting heavily, looking like she couldn't breathe, her face was deathly pale, and her magic was in disarray.

Ok?

Green carefully sensed the situation and saw that the other wizard apprentices on the back of the Seven-Ringed Snail Messenger were in the same state, all in a negative condition, and he immediately realized something.

"The rules here no longer belong to the wizarding world, and wizarding apprentices cannot mobilize magic under the unfamiliar rules of this foreign world. It will be fine once you advance to become a full wizard."

As the heart of the Seven Rings world, the Seven Rings Tower, while most of the Seven Rings world is shrouded in the powerful rules of the wizarding world, maintains its independent and autonomous will under the will of the Seven Rings True Spirit Wizards.

In other words, although this place has the rules of alternating day and night and the cycle of the four seasons, it is just a real alien world that simulates the rules of the wizarding world.

Vivian gasped for breath and asked weakly, "Unable to mobilize magic? Am I supposed to become an ordinary person and try to advance to a formal wizard here?"

"Hehehe, don't be nervous. In the ancient wizarding world, there were no wizarding apprentices, only ordinary humans and wizards who could directly manipulate the power of nature."

Xiao Ba comforted Vivian.

Green nodded and said, "Yes. Well, it will take some time for the Golden Ginseng to improve your constitution. You'll feel a little better then, but for now..."

Green took out several bottles of potion from the dimensional gap.

"These are some temporary physique-boosting potions I've prepared. Use them for now; they'll make you feel better. Remember, your purpose here is to advance to a full-fledged wizard. You need to break free from the rune rules of the wizarding world, experience the rules of balance, and find the fulcrum that belongs to a wizard. Once you become a full-fledged wizard..."

Green finally understood why the proportion of people who advanced to become full-fledged wizards was relatively much higher here.

Firstly, the fact that these wizard apprentices were able to qualify for the Holy Tower tournament demonstrates their own excellence.

Secondly, there is the despair of a wizarding apprentice here who, if unsuccessful, will waste their entire life here.

Thirdly, after losing all their magical abilities, wizard apprentices are more likely to abandon the runes they once relied on for survival and seek out and experience the rules of balance.

The endless world's balance rules dictate that, for wizards, gaining something inevitably comes at a price in other ways.

As a wizard, the first fulcrum of balance is between one's own spiritual power and physical vitality. Later, it is the fulcrum of balance between the time, energy, wisdom and the multiplier of the rules of magic in the study of magic. Even Green's dimensional gap talent is between memory and imagination.

Even in ancient times, the price for moving the wizarding world away from its original coordinates was Antonio and his accumulated endless wealth.

In the modern era, the wizarding world has expanded at an incredible pace within this world cluster, but at the cost of the world's core becoming shattered and unable to be repaired by the endless rules of the world.

……

The wizards' power lies in their ability to gradually shift the balance of power in a direction that benefits them.

Use your time, experience, and wisdom to extend the leverage of the rules, thereby transforming your insignificant energy into infinite possibilities that can influence the endless world.

Vivian took the medicine and, despite the pain, tilted her head back and drank the whole bottle. Nourished by the life force, she felt much better in a short while.

As for the other wizard apprentices, they could only look on with envy.

Apart from two wizard apprentices who had some knowledge of body tempering and were in better condition, the other wizard apprentices all looked pale and weak.

Although the two body-refining wizard apprentices were also somewhat unwell, they were much better off than the other wizard apprentices, and therefore looked slightly smug.

After thinking for a while, Green silently shook his head.

Unbeknownst to these two, their current discomfort was the greatest motivation for a wizard apprentice to advance to the rank of a full wizard...

Thinking of this, Green said seriously to Vivian, "I didn't expect the way the Seven Rings Holy Tower assists in advancing to the next level to be like this. I gave you the Golden Nourishing Ginseng to improve your physique before, but now it seems that I unintentionally harmed you. This potion is only available when..."

Before he could finish speaking, Green suddenly paused.

Turning around, Green looked at the wizard apprentices on the back of the seven-ringed snail. Two of them seemed to be asleep or unconscious, which was beginning to cause some changes in the forces of nature...

Green's expression changed!

"Vivian, quickly bring the medicine. You won't need to drink it anymore!"

Green's voice was filled with regret as he snatched the potion back from Vivian's hand.

Vivian was confused and stared at Green with wide eyes, but Green had already fully realized what was going on.

My unintentional act of pampering her has completely harmed Vivian!

Why do so many wizarding apprentices become full wizards within a few decades of entering the Seven Rings Tower, and then their hopes become increasingly slim?

It was precisely because of the differences between the rules of the wizarding world and the internal rules of the Seventh Ring Tower during their initial period at the Seventh Ring Tower that these wizarding apprentices experienced discomfort.

Both worlds have the alternation of day and night and the cycle of the four seasons, so why do I feel differently about the two worlds? This world even makes it impossible to use witchcraft.

It is precisely because of this discomfort that wizard apprentices have a greater chance to experience the rules.

Otherwise, if it were just some random alien world, it would be completely useless.

Undoubtedly, the moment a wizard apprentice enters the Seventh Ring Holy Tower is the moment of greatest difference and discomfort, and the moment when they are most likely to gain insights. However, I just foolishly gave Vivian a potion to temporarily improve her physical condition without thinking, which weakened her feelings.

In an instant, Green felt an overwhelming pain in his heart.

Vivian looked at Green with a blank expression, completely bewildered. With the simple wisdom of a wizard apprentice, she had no idea what was happening.

He was so ashamed of the truth that he could hardly speak of it.

The Seven-Ring Snail Messenger crawled quickly across the plaza. One of Grimm's original goals was to carefully examine the details of his chimera, the Flame Giant's ultimate goal, the Seven-Ring Holy Tower. However, at this moment, Grimm was completely in no mood for it.

"Third Brother, what happened?"

Vivian asked, confused.

Green gritted his teeth and said to Little Eight, "Quickly, go to your friend Angliena and do everything you can to find me a bottle of cursed potion that will reduce my constitution by twenty to thirty. You can pay with witch spirit for the deal."

Anglie joined the Dawn Wisdom and had already moved to live in the Seventh Ring Holy Tower. The myna bird had visited more than once.

"Huh? Oh, oh."

Little Eight was confused, but instinctively followed Green's instructions, flapping its wings and disappearing in a blur.

Vivian was also a little scared when she saw Green like this.

After a short while, the Seven-Ring Snail Messenger stopped and said calmly, "Little ones, your mission is to survive in the Seven-Ring Holy Tower and advance to become a formal wizard. The most elite demon hunter wizards within the Seven-Ring Holy Tower's territory live here. Their experiments often lack some assistants, and you will receive good pay from them to maintain a decent life."

Originally, Green's idea was probably to give Vivian some witch essence so that she could focus all her efforts on advancing to become a formal wizard.

But at this moment, Green was deep in thought.

Inside the Seven Rings Holy Tower reside Level 3 Demon Hunter Wizards, Elite Wizards absorbed by Dawn Wisdom, Elite Wizards absorbed by Demon Hunter Achievements, Elite Wizards absorbed by Mechanical Gears, and Elite Wizards absorbed by Abyss Dawn.

The fact that the Seven Rings Holy Tower made these wizard apprentices do chores for these wizards was clearly not a meaningless waste of time; it was in itself a favor and a kindness.

Back in the day, even the simple job of cleaning Professor Peranos's room was highly sought after by so many wizarding apprentices...

After a moment of clarity, Green took a deep breath.

A low-level wizard, lacking the corresponding wisdom and experience, yet possessing immense power—it's bound to cause trouble!

It seems that my greatest contribution as a low-level wizard during the Demon Hunting Expedition was not to try to change the expedition plan!

This is not foolishness, but rather a result of the limited knowledge and experience of low-level wizards, who are simply unable to accurately understand the profound meaning of high-level wizards, yet presumptuously attempt to change anything.

The wizard apprentices dispersed, weak and bewildered.

The wizarding apprentices kept asking questions of the wizards walking in the square, or heading towards the magnificent buildings standing in the distance, while Green left Vivian behind.

A moment later, a space flashed on Green's shoulder, and Little Eight appeared with a small bottle of purple potion in its mouth.

Green grabbed the potion, dripped out a drop, and examined it carefully.

Given Vivian's condition, this cursed potion should reduce her constitution by 25 to 30 points, perfectly offsetting the temporary potion she just received.

However, I missed that most perfect moment...

A moment later, Green nodded, his expression serious, and said to Vivian, "Drink it quickly!"

"Senior brother, what's wrong?"

Vivian was confused, but she still drank the cursed potion as Green asked.

Immediately afterward, a wave of weakness washed over him, his face gradually turned pale, and he swayed, barely managing to stay upright thanks to the magic wand.

Green nodded, then said to Vivian with a pained expression, "Fourth Junior Sister, I'm so sorry. My foolish actions unintentionally harmed you. Sometimes, poison is the antidote, and pampering is the poison!"

After saying that, Green turned his head and left without looking back.

Only a weak Vivian was left alone in the square, at a loss.
