Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 15 Workshop | Visit

the next day.

The air is humid.

The sun at dawn was waning and dying in the thick fog.

The hazy Black Tower Academy seemed to have fallen into a dream.

Vic went to Brody's alchemy workshop for a report as arranged.

He was greeted by a plump, red-haired woman who was over fifty years old.

Her name is Emma.

Although a first-level wizard theoretically possesses infinite life, the irreversible entropy increase effect is the enormous price a person must pay to gain endless life after advancing to the first-level wizard level.

a thousand years.

Or 20,000 years.

Even if your life level reaches the peak of level six.

No wizard has yet escaped the arrival of "heat death".

and this.

That is the secret of the curse of time.

The more powerful the wizard, the more pronounced the curse of time will be.

This was something Vic only learned after he was promoted to level six wizard.

but.

The lifespan of a wizard's apprentice is not yet at that level.

The lifespan of an apprentice is generally limited to 150 years, while that of a senior apprentice is longer, around 300 years.

That's why Emma, ​​standing in front of Vic, looked somewhat old.

She glanced at Vic, her face expressionless, and said, "Vic?"

"Yes."

"Come with me."

The alchemy workshop is very large, with two floors.

The area below is where apprentices work daily, including cleaning, washing experimental tools, and preparing basic raw materials.

Upstairs is Brody's private library.

However, the collection of books is not large.

After joining the Alchemy Workshop, Vic only needed to be responsible for cleaning the library on the second floor; he could freely read the books and knowledge inside.

This is also one of the rules for training students at Black Tower Academy.

but.

Experienced apprentices with the resources to build private libraries have no worries about their students stealing their knowledge.

in contrast.

They can learn and master the skills on their own without anyone teaching them.

That's what surprised the new wizards.

More often than not, knowledge and books are simply placed on the shelves, but very few people are able to read, memorize, and ultimately understand them independently.

Students with this kind of talent are usually the ones that new wizards focus on training.

Emma, ​​the red-haired woman, gave Vic some instructions on what to be careful about and then ignored him.

The two apprentices working on the first floor were also uninterested in Vic's presence, each busy with their own work.

Vic is very satisfied with the working environment here.

No one bothered us.

After spending an hour cleaning the second floor, he picked up two books from the library and went to the relatively enclosed reading room.

Using spiritual speed reading, your spiritual body connects to the book, and you begin reading the knowledge within.

The books Brody displayed in the Alchemy Workshop, apart from the most basic introductory extraction method, Mind Reading, were all foundational subjects in alchemy.

metallurgy.

Herbalism.

Formula preparation principle.

Secret text etching is an interdisciplinary field used in many areas.

Because Vic's talent in the field of change is very ordinary, even with the help of advanced extraction techniques, his learning speed is still not considered fast.

Fortunately.

Having the experience of his previous life, he understood that this knowledge was not difficult, and mastering it was only a matter of time.

this time.

He will extract more advanced alchemical knowledge from the Lich's Life Box to facilitate his future crafting of alchemical rings and accumulation of Soul Stones.

Preparing for promotion to senior apprentice.

In theory.

A wizard's apprentice can be promoted to senior by mastering a spell and studying a subject in depth.

However, the first use of witchcraft can place a huge mental burden on the practitioner, and the risk of failure is very high.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare more soul stones to replenish energy.

In his previous life, Vic had failed twice to advance to the senior level due to poverty, and he knew this all too well.

in the afternoon.

An apprentice from the alchemy workshop knocked on the door of the reading room and said, "Vic, a student named Aaron is looking for you."

Aaron?

Vic remembered that their last meeting was a year ago.

I got up and went downstairs.

A tall, thin young man with messy hair stood outside the alchemy workshop.

He wore a black wizard's robe, had a ruddy complexion, and wore a gold ring on his right hand, which held the book. He exuded a natural air of nobility.

The latest novel is first published here!

I met Vic.

The young man immediately smiled, raised his hand, and said, "Hi! Vic, it's me, Aaron."

Vic scrutinized the young man before him with a strange expression.

Although they are at the age when boys are in their prime, isn't such a change too much in just one year?

In Vic's memory.

Aaron remained a dark-skinned, thin, shy, and innocent short boy.

"Aaron?"

"Haha, do you almost not recognize me? People who know me say I've changed a lot."

Aaron looked up and glanced at Brody's alchemy workshop, then said, "I'm here to congratulate you on your successful enrollment."

This place is really nice.

I've only heard that Lord Brody has a rather difficult temper.

Then.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

"Judging from your appearance, you must be doing quite well at the academy," Vic said.

Facing old friends.

It was only in the treacherous academy that Aaron was able to reveal some pure emotions.

He touched his head somewhat embarrassedly, seemingly worried that sharing his current comfortable life would offend Vic, so he tentatively said, "I'm about to become a wizard apprentice."

Lord Ryan thinks highly of me.

Vic remembered that during his first six months under the bridge, Aaron visited him three times, bringing him food and gold coins.

Moreover, he was able to sense the faint spiritual magnetic field around Aaron's body.

There wasn't much surprise.

Vic smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Flattery from others can never compare to a word of approval from a friend.

Aaron didn't look like a wizard; he looked more like a big boy. He smiled shyly, quickly took out an invitation from his alchemical ring, and handed it to Vic with both hands, saying, "I'd like to host a small party in a while. I'll invite only our contemporaries; no outsiders."

of course.

"Vic, you don't have to come."

Of his classmates from that year, Vic was the one who fared the worst.

In the wizarding world, the strong reign supreme.

Even though Vic has the senior apprentice Brody taking him in, his personal strength and the resources around him are not in the same circle as Aaron and the others.

Vic neither directly refused nor immediately agreed.

He simply accepted the invitation with both hands.

He doesn't care what others think, but whether he goes or not depends on whether he has time at the time.

After finishing telling his story...

Aaron spoke of Siggs's situation.

His expression held a mixture of admiration and longing as he remarked, "Last month, Miss Siggs sent me a letter."

When she went out with Lord Ethos, she met a very important person.

The other party intends to form a teacher-student relationship with her, so she may not return to Black Tower Academy.

Big man?

Vic thought to himself, it seems that Siggs' talent is even greater than he had guessed.

Just like before, Aaron glanced at Vic's face. Seeing that he still had a calm expression, he was relieved and said, "Miss Siggs mentioned you in her letter. I said you are doing well."

Vic responded, "Siguth is different from us; she is a rare genius."

I hope that one day in the future, we can meet again as wizards.

Aaron smiled optimistically, "That day will come."
