Wizard of science

In the afternoon, bluestone wooden building.

The golden sunshine of the afternoon shines through the window, and countless tiny dust particles dance in the light like elves.

In the center of the living room away from the window, Sean sat on a wooden chair, holding a cup of Kras tea. After taking a sip, he looked at the decoration in the room with interest.

"Tsk, tsk." Sean sighed after looking at it for a long time, "It's really incomparable. It's much better than where I live."

While speaking, his eyes were shining brightly, and he did not hide his envy.

Li He and Sean sat across the table and sat on another chair opposite, also holding a cup of Kras tea.

Stir it gently with a silver spoon and take a sip. The sweet tea liquid slides into your throat, and the overly sweet taste fills your entire mouth.

It's too sweet. This is the second time I've tried it, and I still can't accept it. I really don't know why people in Lan'en Cape love this drink... Li He shook his head in his heart and gave up on adapting to this kind of Kras tea. Put the teacup on the table.

He looked at Sean and said, "I may have to leave the college in two days. If you like the house here, I'll tell Mr. Gauss that you can move in."

"Really!" Sean's tone suddenly increased, his eyes widened, and his eyeballs turned rapidly in his eye sockets, looking quite moved.

He pursed one corner of his mouth, rolled his eyes to the upper right, and began to think about the future life after moving in.

But after thinking for a moment, he bit his lip and shook his head.

He took a long breath, shook his head and said: "Forget it, this is the house assigned to you in the college. You can live here because you won the first place in the annual test. As for me...even the top one Even if you don’t get a ranking, it’s better not to be too arrogant and just stay in my little house.”

Looking up at the house again, Sean said seriously: "If you give it to me to live in, I won't feel comfortable living here. I'll wait for myself to work hard and get a good ranking in the annual test next time, next time, and next time. When you are truly qualified, come and live next to Yuanjing Lake."

"That's fine." Li He didn't try to persuade him any more and slowly stood up and said, "Just now you said that Teacher Gauss asked me to meet him in half an hour. Is that about the time now?"

After hearing what Li He said, Sean drank up the remaining Kras tea in the cup, put the cup on the table, stood up, nodded and said: "It's almost done, let's go over and let Teacher Gauss wait." Oh no."

"Um."

The two stepped out of the wooden building and walked into the distance.

"By the way, Li He, you just said you might want to leave the academy?" Sean asked as he walked, "Are you going to perform a resource guarding mission?" Sean obviously knew something about these things.

"Not bad." Li He nodded, having nothing to hide.

"Then have you decided where to go?"

"This can only be decided after reading the list provided by Teacher Gauss."

"Although I have never performed this kind of mission, I have heard from many seniors before that you should choose such a mission based on your own considerations. If you want to have less trouble and focus on improving your own strength, you can choose some islands .If you want to communicate with more people, choose some cities deep in the continent. Many resource points are not far from the capitals of some kingdoms. If you choose to go there, you can enjoy many resources of ordinary people, although it cannot improve your strength. But it also makes life less difficult.”

Li He nodded slightly after hearing this, indicating that he would take note of it.

The two continued to move forward, and finally arrived in front of the black stone tower.

Like last time, Sean made a gesture of invitation towards the stone tower, turned around and left voluntarily.

Li He took a step forward, pushed open the somewhat old wooden door of the stone tower, and entered the stone tower with a "squeaking" sound.

Gauss was standing in front of a window in the stone tower, squinting at the sky outside, as if thinking about something, when he heard the sound and looked towards Li He.

"Here we come." Gauss greeted simply.

"Hello, teacher." Li He bowed in greeting.

"I asked Sean to inform you to come here, mainly because I want to ask you whether you have considered the choice of promotion potion?" Gauss said straight to the point.

"After thinking about it, I will choose the prescription." Li He said.

"Sure enough." Gauss showed a smile, "As I guessed, you had a tendency when you chose "Hammock's Potion Notes", right? This is also in line with your personality, although you have to make potions from scratch. The difficulty is higher, but if it succeeds, the effect will be better. Not long ago, Hegeway also made such a choice and went to sea to perform resource protection tasks."

After a pause, Gauss took out three short scrolls from his robe, one in red, one in blue, and one in purple. He placed them on the stone table in the room and said softly: "Choose. This is the scroll in the academy." The formulas of the three most commonly used promotion potions, although there are five or six others, are not suitable for you. They are all prepared for some bloodline inheritors with special physiques. Most people can only choose from these three."

"Then what are they..." Li He asked.

"The red one is the red potion. After taking it, your mental power will burn. It will be purified and sublimated during the burning, and you will eventually be promoted to a wizard."

"The blue one is the dark blue potion. After taking it, your mental power will be compressed. During the compression, impurities will be driven out, sublimated, and eventually promoted to a wizard."

"The purple one is a corrosive potion. After taking it, your mental power will change and decay. In the end, you will refine your pure spiritual power and be promoted to a wizard." Gauss answered one by one.

After thinking about it, Li He asked directly: "Which one does the teacher think is most suitable for me?"

"This is a bit difficult for me." Gauss chuckled, "But I can give you a reminder to see which energy factor your body is most affinity to. If you are affinity to the fire energy factor, choose the red potion. If you are affinity to the water element, If you are compatible with the energy factor, choose the dark blue potion, and if you are compatible with other energy factors, choose the rotten potion."

Li He blinked and quickly rummaged through his memories.

Which energy factor you are passionate about can be shown from the first time you successfully meditate.

He remembered that in the meditation world, the surrounding energy factors quickly gathered towards the conscious body. They were of various colors, but the most numerous ones were red fire energy factors.

Later, after testing, it was found that his affinity to most energy factors was about the same, with the fire energy factor being slightly higher.

Without hesitation, he looked at Gauss and said, "Then I choose the red potion."

"Okay." Gauss put away the blue and purple scrolls, handed the red scroll over, and said seriously, "Remember, the prescription can only be read by yourself. It is strictly forbidden to spread it to others without the permission of the college."

"clear."

"Yes." Gauss responded, and took out another scroll from his robe. This time the scroll was larger, and he quickly unfolded it on the stone table. On it were names and brief introductions.

"This is an important remote resource point that currently lacks the guarding of high-level apprentices. There are 67 in total. You can choose. Once you have made your choice, you will set off within three days to officially carry out your annual resource guarding mission." Goss said.

Li He nodded lightly, stepped closer, and started browsing.

Bak Yala Island: Southeast of the academy's residence, it is rich in moonflowers and Bak Yala Demonized Crabs. The island has more than 2,000 residents, all of whom belong to a force called the "Kingdom of Shark." In addition, there are nearly ten apprentices who have no power and are living in seclusion on the island. The strongest one is a second-level wizard apprentice. However, due to the lack of inheritance and spell knowledge, the combat strength is only equivalent to the first-level wizard apprentice in the academy...

Buslino Forest: Due west of the academy, it is rich in Dakui black grass, ghost head flower, and demonized thorn wolf. There are four noble territories around it, with a total population of about 30,000. There are no known apprentices or wizards...

Ashhearth Grassland: Northwest of the academy, close to Ashhearth City, the capital of the Ironstone Kingdom, it is rich in silver marrow grass and poisonous blood flowers. In addition, there are dew grass, snow carnivorous flower, black stone tree, Buckwa toothworm... dozens Only spell raw materials, the surrounding population is more than one million, there are 134 apprentices and 13 wizards... To perform this resource guarding task, you do not need to collect all the spell raw materials. You only need to regularly collect and deliver one spell raw material to the academy. The specific quantity requirements are as follows...

The end of the lonely sea...

Pacala Ghost Castle...

Li He kept browsing and was thinking about which location would be best when his eyes suddenly fixed.

Then I saw a line on the scroll with the words "Atlante" clearly written on it.

Atlante: To the southwest of where the academy is located, close to Silverpine City, the third largest city in the Gray Forest Kingdom, it is rich in star flowers and occasionally produces mutated medicinal plants. The surrounding population is about 400,000, with a total of 47 apprentices and 3 wizards... To carry out this resource protection task, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the star flower plantation in the forest. More than 3,000 high-quality star flowers are produced every quarter...

Atlante? Is it really Atlante?

Li He carefully looked at the exact location recorded in the entry and determined that this was the hometown of his mother - Atlante, mentioned by Gini, a female apprentice of the Vidro wizard family.

According to the other party, Atlante is very similar to the trees in the Pale Forest in the annual test area.

Maybe, the Pale Forest is another form of existence of Atlante.

Considering the many secrets in the annual test area, during the annual test, he had the idea of ​​​​having the opportunity to go to Atlante to explore.

Not to mention that at the end of the annual test, he was experimenting at the edge of the Pale Forest and saw his other self on the other side of the wall through the wall of air.

According to the scene he saw at first, his other self seemed to be in the forest of Atlante.

This gave him more motivation to see what secrets Atlante hid.

I originally planned to do some research after I was promoted to a wizard.

Unexpectedly, Atlante’s location actually appeared on the roster.

Is it still necessary to wait?

You have to perform the task of resource protection wherever you go, so why not just do it all together?

Moreover, looking at the introduction of Atlante, it is not considered remote, and it is not considered to be a gathering of wizard apprentices and wizards. You can not only concentrate on improving yourself, but also communicate with the wizard apprentices and wizards living there. Even if you can't find anything there, Nothing to lose.

Li He made up his mind, clicked on Atlante's name, looked at Gauss and asked: "Teacher Gauss, can I go to this place?"

Gauss looked at the scroll and slowly read out the name: "Atlante..."

After a slight pause, he looked at Li He with a thoughtful look, and finally nodded lightly and said: "Of course, you can choose all the places on this list. Atlante... is a good existence. You can choose it." It’s normal. At the same time, Atlante is also a relatively normal existence. Don’t be affected by the Pale Forest in the annual test area. There is nothing very special there. If you go there with your purpose in mind, I think you will most likely be disappointed. If you just treat it as an ordinary resource point and go to perform tasks, I can give you a good introduction."

"Then I'll trouble you, teacher."

"Okay." Gauss saw that Li He had a firm attitude and told him, "Atlante is located some distance southwest of our college and belongs to the Gray Forest Kingdom. This kingdom is not small in power, but its overall development is relatively backward. Except for a few big cities, the rest of the place is very poor. In addition, there are many mountains and forests, and there are even many savage and cannibal tribes. The atmosphere of this kingdom is relatively radical, and it often goes to war with neighboring countries, winning more than losing. It is in the expansion stage. Of course, this has nothing to do with wizard apprentices and wizards. If you really go to Atlante, you just need to pay attention to the many demonized creatures there.

That place is different from the academy's residence because it is located in a forest. There are many types and numbers of demonized creatures. Although they are very weak and not as good as a first-level wizard apprentice, they will have a lot of impact on the plantation, so they must be cautious.

In addition, as you have seen in the introduction, Atlante is rich in star flowers. There are three plantations there, one of which is managed by our Dark Heart Academy. This is the one you took over when you went there. After taking over, he is responsible for providing the college with 3,000 high-quality astragalus plants every quarter. In addition, it would be better if mutated medicinal plants can be collected for the college. There is no limit to the quantity. "

Li He nodded: "I took note of it."

After that, Gauss talked to Li He about other things that needed attention, and they kept talking for half an hour, and the meeting came to an end.

Before finishing, Gauss thought for a while and said seriously: "Li He, I have no doubt about your potential. If there are no accidents, you will become a wizard within a few years, and you will be a very good wizard... But before that , in addition to preparing for promotion to a wizard, you must also find ways to improve your combat ability... Although you can get first place in the annual test, you still need to improve. You cannot forget this when performing resource guarding tasks. At least improve Only to the extent that we can deal with ordinary wizards, because this time next year our entire academy will go through a very big test. It is difficult for wizards to guarantee safety, and apprentices under wizards are even more dangerous."

"Academy war?"

"Yes." Gauss said.

"I understand, teacher." Li He nodded seriously.
