Chapter 618 Former partners
There are very few apprentices who came with him on the ghost ship in the abandoned land, and most of them died in the pursuit of truth.
Unless one can condense magic crystals and be promoted to a formal wizard, it will be difficult for an apprentice to break through the hundred-year-old limit.
"Jorah, Byrne, Myrcella..."
Enzo murmured to himself, and a picture flashed through his mind. When he first entered the Crow Phantom Academy, the mortality rate of apprentices was extremely high. Many newcomers died on this road without even becoming third-level apprentices. superior.
"I wonder how Bourne is doing?"
Enzo suddenly sounded. Prince Bourne, who was carrying out mechanical transformation, seemed to be preparing to attack the wizarding realm before Enzo left the wizarding world, but it was not yet certain whether he would succeed.
If he takes the path of the Guardian Wizard, Bourne will have at least three chances.
At the same time, the mechanically modified body also gave Bourne more lifespan. Even if he was not promoted to an official wizard, he would probably still be alive if he had not experienced any accidents in the past hundred years.
Also, there is the Fire Queen Myrcella.
He was the most dazzling existence during his apprenticeship, and later he was promoted to a formal wizard, and even participated in an expedition to the forest world. According to Enzo's guess, Myrcella should be the most likely to be alive.
However, one hundred years have passed.
Things have changed in the Dark Territory, and the coexistence of the three major organizations has also been completely changed. What will happen to the once genius girl now?
While Enzo was sighing, a ringing sound suddenly came from his ears.
The apprentices with green and immature faces all around were running towards the teaching building. Enzo also raised his head and looked over.
"Hurry up, tutor Isaac's open class will start soon."
"It's not easy to catch up with the official wizard's open class. I must grab a good seat soon!"
"Issac's mentor to the Kendi family?"
Hearing the hurried footsteps of the apprentices, Enzo's heart suddenly moved, and a figure flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help but follow the crowd.
"Lord Enzo?"
Next to them, Kelly and Enoch were stunned and quickly followed. The three of them followed the crowd heading to the teaching building and entered a classroom together.
Looking at the familiarly decorated teaching hall, a smile appeared on Enzo's face.
The experiences of the apprenticeship period keep coming to mind. The principle of equivalent exchange in the wizarding world teaches apprentices that no matter what they want to get, they must give. And for the little ones who have just embarked on the wizarding journey, free open classes , is one of the few benefits of the college.
"I miss you so much!" Enzo said with emotion.
Afterwards, he found a seat in a corner and sat down. Kelly and Enoch also followed him in a low-key manner, waiting for the start of the open class with other apprentices.
This teaching hall is the size of a basketball court. In the center is a large podium with seats arranged around it, enough to accommodate about a thousand people. However, as a steady stream of apprentices enter the hall, the seats here are quickly filled. Then it was full.
The apprentices who couldn't find a seat had to stand in the aisle and listen to the class.
"Hey, my friend."
Enzo was looking in the direction of the podium when a voice suddenly came from next to him. A young man wearing a gray robe from Phantom of the Crows whispered, "Can you give me your seat? I'm willing to pay you a Magic stone.”
As he said that, the young man opened his palm, and inside was a magic stone.
Enoch frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with the young man's attitude. He was about to reprimand him, but was stopped by Enzo's eyes.
"No need."
Enzo chuckled and shook his head. The boy in gray robe was already a third-level apprentice, but he still came to participate in the open class, which proved the allure of formal wizard classes. Enzo was not annoyed by the boy's attitude, he just smiled softly. reject.
The boy in gray robe didn't force himself upon seeing this, and turned his head to look at the other boy.
The price of a magic stone was still very tempting for the apprentice. The boy happily took the magic stone and gave the deed to the young man in gray robe.
At this time, the messy classroom suddenly became quiet.
In the direction of the central podium, a young man wearing a blue robe with a lightning pattern embroidered on his collar walked onto the podium with steady steps. His face was handsome, but his expression was serious.
First-order wizard, Isaac!
After leaving the wizarding world for a hundred years, the first acquaintance he met after returning was the genius boy of the Kendi family whom Enzo met when he was on a mission to escape the war during his apprenticeship and went to Thunder City.
At that time, Enzo was still a Level 2 apprentice, while Isaac was already at the peak of Level 3.
A full hundred years have passed, and Enzo has grown at an astonishing speed into a fourth-level all-spiritual wizard with two dimensions, and Isaac finally condensed his magic power and was promoted to an official wizard decades ago.
After becoming an official wizard, Isaac remained loyal to the Crow Phantoms.
According to the family's arrangement, he did not go to the forest world and seek a breakthrough in the expedition. Instead, he stayed in Phantom Crows and became a mentor. He occasionally gave public classes or performed some tasks, and stayed most of the time. In the laboratory.
"This is Wizard Isaac!"
At this time, Kelly next to her whispered, "I met him when I was a child. He is a genius wizard from the Kendi family. He is proficient in alchemy. He once cooperated with my mother to refine a batch of magical items."
Enzo nodded slightly but said nothing.
At the same time, as Isaac stepped onto the podium, the teaching hall became quiet, and all the apprentices turned their attention to their mentor. Isaac didn't waste any time and started the open class directly.
It has been less than fifty years since he was promoted to an official wizard. According to the concept of the wizarding world, Isaac is still a new wizard, but he has done a lot of research on alchemy, and the content of his lectures is also related to his latest experiment.
"The rune sword smelted by Valyrian steel is very sharp, but also, due to the characteristics of Valyrian steel, the magic power of magic items made in this way is not strong..."
"Therefore, if we want to solve this problem, we need to mix some mithril in the process of making magical items..."
On the podium, Isaac was eloquent.
He talked about alchemical knowledge, but it was of no value to Enzo. This level of knowledge was limited to the apprentice class.
In the teaching hall, the apprentices were attentive.
Obviously, Isaac's teaching was of great help to them. Some of the apprentices who were interested in alchemy kept recording their knowledge in notes and planned to try something after class.
Soon, three hours passed.
On the podium, Isaac brought out a cup of tea from nowhere, took a slow sip, and continued.
"Okay, that's it for today's open class."
Around him, the apprentices were still unfinished, but they did not dare to have any objections. According to the rules of the academy, the instructor's open class was only about two hours under normal circumstances. Isaac taught for three hours, which was already rare.
"The next open class that belongs to me will be held in three months. Interested apprentices can pay attention to it." The open class has ended, but Isaac did not leave in a hurry, but said loudly: "Also, I have recently An alchemy experiment requires several experimental assistants, and during the process, you can learn my alchemy knowledge for free."
The wizarding world believes in the principle of equivalent exchange.
Therefore, mentors have to pay a certain price if they want their apprentices to become their assistants. Isaac's alchemy skills are a fatal temptation for many apprentices.
Under this premise, many apprentices raised their hands to sign up.
"Damn, put your hands down, are you crazy?"
Not far away, a young man raised his hand to apply for an assistant position, but the girl next to him pulled him down and whispered, "Go and work as an experimental assistant for your tutor. Are you willing to die? Have you forgotten what happened to Milly?" "
The young apprentice was startled and quickly put his hand down.
Becoming a mentor's experimental assistant will entail great risks while learning knowledge. Experimental projects for formal wizards are often accompanied by a large amount of radiation energy, which can cause serious harm to the human body.
This is why mentors like to choose assistants among their apprentices.
Because ordinary people can't bear such strong radiation, not even knights can bear it. The young apprentice was attracted by Isaac's alchemy knowledge just now, but he remembered that his companion named Milly was working as an experimental assistant for a mentor. , as a result, an accident occurred during the experiment, and he became a human being and a ghost.
That terrifying look is almost a young apprentice’s nightmare!
Jingle Bell!
At this time, the crisp bell rang again, and the apprentices in the teaching hall began to leave. Only a few people who were willing to take risks to become Isaac's experimental assistants in order to learn alchemy knowledge stayed.
"not bad."
Isaac looked at the apprentices in front of him with a satisfied smile on his face. The experimental project he recently conducted was very dangerous. There were already a group of third-level apprentices who had lost all hope of being promoted to wizards due to the experiment, and they were in urgent need of replenishment.
"Wait, fallen ones of Skull Castle!"
Isaac narrowed his eyes slightly and thought in his heart: "When that magic weapon is made, my strength can be raised to another level. Facing three wizards at the same time, I may not fall to the bottom."
"Even a second-level wizard..."
Thinking of his experimental project in his mind, Isaac's eyes were burning. He was ambushed by Skull Castle while performing a mission a few years ago, so he has always wanted revenge.
The teaching hall, which was crowded just now, has now become empty.
After Isaac selected his experimental assistant, he was about to leave, but then he saw a figure getting up from his seat and walking towards him.
"Who are you?"
Isaac frowned slightly, feeling familiar, but he couldn't remember who the man in front of him was. On the contrary, he knew the girl next to him.
"Kelly?"
Isaac saw the girl's appearance clearly and remembered that she was the daughter of wizard Lilith. As for her father, he was an even more remarkable man, Gustav, who was now one of the four deans of Phantom Crows.
"Long time no see, Senior Isaac."
At this time, Enzo had already walked up to Isaac and said hello.
Isaac thought for a while, and suddenly, a flash of lightning seemed to flash across his mind, reminding him of the name of the man in front of him, and his eyes widened.
"Enzo!?"
The man who had disappeared for a hundred years reappeared in the academy. Isaac could not believe his eyes. As someone who had contact with Enzo during his apprenticeship, Isaac was very familiar with this face.
"So you're still alive!"
Isaac couldn't help but sigh. Enzo had disappeared for a hundred years. In the files of Phantom Crows, it was recorded that he went to the Lost Continent. However, because he had been away for so long, many people thought he had disappeared or died.
A wry smile appeared on Enzo's face.
He could also understand Isaac's attitude. After all, he had indeed left the wizarding world. It was not easy for the other party to still remember his name for a full hundred years.
"What happened? How come you were away from the academy for so long?"
Isaac couldn't help but ask, "There are rumors in the outside world that you have died, and the true spirit has returned to the embrace of the world's will. Even Uncle Ulysses lamented that your death is a great loss to the Phantom Crows."
"It's a long story!" Enzo also sighed.
In the past hundred years, too many things have happened. Enzo even completed two plane expeditions and was successfully promoted to a fourth-level wizard. Now he is deliberately suppressing his energy, so Isaac is not too An expression of surprise.
According to the records of Crow Phantom Academy, Enzo is still a second-level wizard.
Afterwards, the two chatted. Although they knew each other during their apprenticeships, they were not very close. Isaac's understanding of Enzo was still that of a second-level wizard, so his attitude was very friendly.
"By the way, Senior Isaac."
Suddenly, Enzo asked, "Do you know who among my batch of apprentices has been promoted to a formal wizard? There was a Bourne who took the path of a mechanical wizard before. How is he doing now?"
"Mechanical wizard Bourne?"
Isaac was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It turns out that he is also an apprentice with you. Lord Bourne was promoted to a first-level wizard sixty years ago, and he followed the path of a guardian. Now he is the same as me. , all serve as tutors in the college.”
"Success?"
Enzo's heart moved, and he was a little relieved. Bourne's wizard talent was not high, not even as good as Enzo's, but he was successfully promoted to an official wizard. It must be said that his fate is really elusive.
Immediately afterwards, Enzo asked a few more names.
They were all apprentices in the same group as him, but the answer was that those people were no longer promoted to wizards. There were a few people Enzo was not familiar with who were still alive, but they were just relying on the physique of third-level apprentices to survive.
"Myrcella?"
Finally, Enzo asked the name of the Fire Queen. A strange expression suddenly appeared on Isaac's face. He shook his head and said, "It seems that you have indeed left the Northern Continent for a long time. This matter has long been spread in the Northern Continent." Just go through it all.”
