Witch, don't be so lazy

such as.

"crunch-"

There was another dark hole on the poor iron bed frame, but that was not the end, because the "ding-dong" sound came out again.

If you turn on the insight skill, you can see that countless spikes emerge from the surface of the telekinetic arm that penetrates the iron frame, like a hedgehog with its hair standing on end, pushing out countless small raised dots on the iron sheet.

Of course, if you want, one of the spikes can quickly enlarge and become a new arm, and then "hiss", another piece will crack open diagonally above the original hole.

It seems that new ways to kill enemies have been added.

The only regret is that the telekinetic arm cannot be split into multiple arms. If An Ke is forced to distract himself and create multiple arms at the same time, he will not be able to maintain the spell. It seems that the skill is not specialized enough.

[Mage's Hand: 832/5000/Mastery]

I haven't played it much these days, but I just added 800 points directly. It should be because I can learn by analogy.

Anke then tried to specialize in the telekinetic shield, attempting to draw spell patterns on the shield.

Maybe it was because he was not very proficient in the ancient spells and the telekinesis shield had just broken through to the mastery level. He concentrated on the experiment for a long time, sweating profusely, but ended up exhausting his mental strength and seeing no results.

She was so angry that she jumped onto the bed and rolled around, but she hadn't even rolled twice.

"squeak--"

There was a loud bang, and the bed, which had been tortured, finally collapsed.

The telekinetic shield came in handy for the first time.

An Ke embarrassedly went to the waiter, gave a vague explanation, paid two silver coins as compensation, got a new bed, and then fell asleep.

……

The next day.

As soon as he entered the classroom, An Ke found that the atmosphere was very heavy. Everyone was whispering to each other and their expressions were not very good.

She sat in the corner and listened for a while, and found that they were actually discussing the capital city competition.

Because Miss Encore has been busy as a top these days, either appraising treasures, enchanting, or improving her proficiency, and has no time to care about the news.

It seems that Naji Touré lost, and now there is only one player left in the North, Lorena, and the situation is not optimistic.

When it was the last class, as expected, Teacher Mott took out the photo stone again.

The scene still showed the familiar venue, a huge arena, but there was something like a protective shield around it.

This time we will compete in three rounds of Ba Ling Si Ling.

The first match is between Lorena and the Earth Guard of the Tusk Empire. The latter had not appeared in the previous round of videos because he was a small fry. Although he fought his way out of the siege with great difficulty, it was obvious that his strength was much inferior to that of the star characters.

There's nothing much to say about the ending, but the process was surprisingly quite tense.

The so-called Earth Guardians are actually a replica of the Earth Knights of the Old Empire - Stone Breathing, Earth Armor, Dense Steel Armor, Dragonhide Curse, but without the standard wyvern, and the giant sword is replaced with a transformable alchemical shield axe.

Thanks to this competition, the people of the North were able to truly witness the famous tin can. Its defense was so exaggerated that normal mid-level spells could not break the Armor of Earth. Moreover, its speed was extremely agile. The shield axe was enchanted with "Black Rock Slash", which could easily tear a big hole in the ground.

Miss Lorena really worked hard. Although her gem magic could repeatedly create obstacles with exquisite low-level spell combinations and help her dodge attacks as if strolling in the garden, in the end, if she wanted to defeat the enemy, she had to unleash a gem rain.

Through the resonance of a large number of gemstones, he released more than ten intermediate spells from different schools, and finally knocked the opponent down.

The second match was between the Druid of the White Deer Clan and Nagi Toure.

The fight between the two was very entertaining. They started with a test fight. Since Nagi could quickly switch between the Earth Bear and Sword Tiger forms, and the Raging Tide Sword Technique could not exert its full strength because it was not at sea, Nagi was obviously inferior in close combat. But after quickly opening the distance and bombarding each other with spells, the frost magic directly crushed the thorn magic.

Unfortunately, not long after the audience finished cheering, the elf transformed into a white antlered deer and summoned the contracted spirit of nature, an owl wearing a laurel on its head. The laurel was a symbol of the antler god's blessing.

In the blink of an eye, the ice melted and the entire arena turned into a dense jungle with slender vines covering the sky. Even though Nagi showed his trump card and transformed into a giant nine-headed sea monster, he still lost.

The third game ended the fastest.

The young priest of the Tutek Empire roared a dragon right at the start of the fight, interrupting the spell cast by the little princess of the Fenghua royal family. Then he rushed forward, and after the opponent used celestial magic to quickly move and create a hurricane, he decisively transformed, and a steel dragon appeared in the field. And then nothing happened.

The dragon, a steel dragon famous for its sturdiness, could withstand all the storms and lightning without a scratch. This was totally beyond the ability of a second-level mage to handle. He symbolically fired two spells and the opponent surrendered.

Finally, there is the draw. Since there are still three people, there will be byes.

The results were announced and the Elf got a bye.

After the photo stones were played, Mott smiled helplessly, shrugged his shoulders, and then announced the end of get out of class.

Naturally, the classroom was in an uproar.

"That's too shameless! Bringing summons to fight is fine, but why is it also bringing the blessing of the gods?"

"That's right! If Negi asks Her Majesty the Witch for the Protection of the Sea, he will definitely not lose!"

"The nine-headed sea monster is so scary, and I'm such a wimp when it comes to fighting it. I'm going to stop being a fan."

"The worst one is obviously that Dragonborn! A third-tier mage has to put in a lot of effort just to break through his defense, and a second-tier mage is completely powerless. He won without even trying!"

"The Dragonborn are just trying to be powerful in the early stages and bully the newcomers. Her Majesty the Golden Witch beat up Dragon Island back then and forced them to pay tribute in gold coins to the North every year. And now they are still paying it obediently."

"Miss Lorena is also from the Barrowmont family. Why don't you ask the Witch-sama for help and borrow the blessing of gold? Gem magic is too weak, and the Chaos School isn't working. It's hard enough to defeat an Earth Guardian, let alone a Steel Dragon. Why not use gold magic to forge a Dragon Slayer Sword and kill it directly? There's a precedent before, right? It cost two million gold coins to kill an adult black dragon."

"After all, he's a member of the exchange group. Killing him is too much. Besides, borrowing his abilities is no different from the witch herself taking action. It's so embarrassing."

"If you ask me, it's all about the draw. Why not manipulate it and let the Druid and the Dragonborn fight first, preferably with both sides suffering losses? Then we can get some high-level gems and we'll have a sure win."

"Using high-level gems is no different from throwing money at someone. Others aren't using any over-the-top equipment, and we're not good at it either. It's not like we can't afford to lose. Now they're seeking cooperation from the North. We have eight Legends in the High Tower Council, the same number as the Holy See. The immediate wins and losses of the new generation won't mean anything."

"That being said, you'll still be disappointed."

"Steel Dragon is so handsome, I love it!"

……

The school was noisy. Perhaps the impact of the competition was too great. Now even Hahn didn't dare to guarantee that he would win the championship. He just shouted, "Everything is possible. There is still a chance. It's normal if we lose. After all, Miss Lorena is the youngest and has focused all her energy on advancing. She has no time to practice powerful spells. If you have the ability, wait for another two years."

Encore's mood was also complicated.

Besides sighing at how powerful others were and wondering how much such a large rain of gems could be worth, he couldn't help but sigh twice at the School of Chaos.

Even the famous genius in the North, using expensive gem magic, could not solve the dilemma of the Chaos School. Without the bonus of elemental affinity, it could not compare with other schools in terms of damage.

Unless one possesses special powers like a witch, or relies on the protection of gods and demons, but that has nothing to do with the school.

As for the final outcome of the competition three days later, she didn't care much. It was such a distant thing, so she should focus more on herself. The advancement in insight should be in these two days.

[Insight: 764/1000/Skilled]

An Ke shook her head, picked up her schoolbag and left, going to the camp to start work first, and then to do the enchantment in the evening.

……

night.

A large tent in the camp.

"Thank you!"

The middle-aged man took the armor with great joy and waved his hand towards his equally excited teammates outside: "Done, Rock Turtle Group, let's go!"

An Ke put the reward in her pocket, packed up her things, and just walked out when she met Mars and the others.

Sally glanced back at the howling group rushing towards the nest, then greeted Anko.

"Why didn't you go down into the cave?"

Anke was a little curious.

"We've progressed too far in our exploration, and we've already accumulated enough materials for Uncle Rickon's promotion. There's no need to take risks, so we've changed our strategy. We'll no longer explore and kill White Walkers, but only take on rescue missions in the camp."

Sally replied.

"Promotion..."

An Ke blinked, "Can I consult with you about advancement and the spiritual world?"

Mars was stunned. "Why are you asking this? The academy should have a brief introduction. You can exchange credits for the detailed information yourself... Oh, sorry, I forgot that you haven't taken the Advanced Magic Qualification Examination yet. You are still in the academy, and the academy really doesn't teach you this stuff."

"Well, I was actually looking for Sister Luya, but I asked the staff and they said she was still busy. I haven't seen her in a few days. I think I heard she appeared in the camp, but I just looked for her again and didn't see her."

Anko replied.

"That's true. We've only seen the head of the stronghold once. Well, Miss Anke asked us the same thing. My brothers and the others are all senior apprentices and know a lot. Uncle Rickon was even promoted and participated in the spirit world tour, but unfortunately he fell short. But this time, it will definitely work."

Sally glanced at Rickon, who smiled and said, "Good luck."

"Come on, come on, buy some food first, then go sit inside and chat."

However, it seems that the 镏午【覇磷 similar to "ling鷗后".

Thanks to Maelubelli for the gold chest!!! Thank you so much!! I'll add eight more chapters to make up for it!! But it'll probably take a while, because I'm a bit slow at typing, and I don't want to be too tedious.

I would also like to thank other readers and friends for their support and encouragement! !

The point is, we're not offering a reward!!! I guess we'll do it next month after I've accumulated some manuscripts!!! If you do give me a reward, I'll just accept it as a token of your love!

Chapter 34 Promotion Matters and the Spirit World

"As for the promotion ceremony, if you have a legacy backed by a powerful faction, you can just use it directly. If not, it's pretty easy to buy, at least low-level ones. The Winter Magic Chamber of Commerce sells them, the Adventurer's Guild can exchange them, some underground black markets also sell them, and you can even get them through private commissions. However, be cautious with the latter two, as there are likely to be scams."

Mars took a sip of his ale and continued,

"Of course, there are differences between rituals. The higher the level, the greater the impact. But if you're just an apprentice, you don't need to consider that much. Common items are the most reliable, unless you're determined to follow a special path. For example, the spiritual objects used in their ascension rituals are extremely rare, and the rituals are also very special."

Sally, who had finished his sausage, interrupted, "Spiritual objects, rituals, and auxiliary materials. Once you have these three, you can perform the ceremony. Completing the spiritual world tour will allow you to advance and obtain your talent."

“This is too much trouble!”

An Ke stirred her orange juice and mumbled.

"It's actually quite simple. The auxiliary materials are easy to get. You can get it with just a small amount of money. It mainly serves to stabilize the ritual and provide magical power."

"The rituals are easy. They refer to what you need to do before or during the ceremony. Each school and each ritual is different. Take my brother for example. If he wants to advance, there must be a burning flame within ten meters. As for Uncle Rickon..."

"I'll wait for a thunderstorm...Ahaha, this wine is really good!"

Rickon raised his glass and clinked it with Myers's.

"Hide in the shadows." Susie said lightly. As a scout, she didn't drink alcohol, but drank juice like Anko.

"Don't look at me, I didn't even buy the ceremony... By the way, what school does Miss Anke belong to?"

"chaos."

"Oh, the Chaos School's rituals are pretty simple. I have a friend who majored in emotional perception. It seems like they require greeting ninety-nine living beings within twenty-four hours, whether they're humans or small animals. Then, all you have to do is perform the ritual. Simple, right?"

Sally continued excitedly, "But reaching higher levels is a little more complicated. Back then, our academy's director was a Wanderer of the Shadow School. I heard that to break through to the third level, one had to choose a full moon night and avoid the sight of all living things for ten minutes before they could begin their advancement."

"It's just a little troublesome?"

"Yes, the sight of all living things, provided they possess organs of vision, is that they can simply find a secluded spot and sneak into the shadows. It's actually a bit difficult to wait for a full moon night. Do you think the ritual is quite easy to accomplish?"

Encore nodded and went to Baba's private room.

Even in her opinion, these so-called rituals were a little too easy, like a game.

"What about spiritual things?"

"This is a bit more difficult, but only for ordinary apprentices. Miss Anke is so powerful that she can easily obtain it. Generally, it is some high-magic items. Oh, for example, White Walker hearts and snow crystals can be used as spiritual objects for the Frost School, Earth School, Nature School, and Chaos School. Of course, they must be of high quality and must be processed by alchemists."

An Ke was stunned.

It’s not that I find it difficult, but rather that I find it too easy.

When she first heard about the promotion ceremony, she thought it would be as complicated as the potion system in her previous life's novels, but after truly understanding it, she was quite surprised.

"Is it true that the higher the quality of this so-called spiritual object, the better the ritual effect."

Anko asked.

"Well... yes, but if the promotion fails, the backlash will be more severe. Also, the spiritual objects cannot be too good, otherwise the abundant magic power will cause a burden, and the difficulty of touring the spirit world will be greatly increased."

Finally the spiritual world was mentioned, and Encore was cheered up.

"So what exactly is the spirit world? And what is the spirit world tour all about?"

"Spirit world...how do you say that part, brother?"
