Chapter 679: Advancement Ceremony
"In the blink of an eye, Brother Thor is about to advance to the third level!"
Silver butterflies danced around me.
It’s just that Penny’s chattering mouth sometimes doesn’t match her graceful dancing moves and elf-like appearance.
"I still remember the first time I saw Brother Thor, he was still a first-level apprentice. At that time, I was thinking that this little wizard's dream looked so special, I really wanted to eat him up in one bite!"
Thor laughed and said, "Fortunately you didn't act rashly at that time. I might not have had the power to rescue you from the dream at that time... Wait, so you have already recovered your past memories, right?"
"Ah? Ahahahaha..." Penny started to act stupid.
It landed on the edge of the wizard tower's dais and looked ahead.
Outside of Rhine City—the name Thor arbitrarily gave to his own settlement—hundreds of low-level wizards were busy.
Some of these hundreds of wizards were sent by Herbert and Pearl, but more came from the Stargate Council of Iskeper.
I have to say that power is sometimes fascinating. A transfer order from the other party made so many wizards put down all their work and research and come to the dangerous no-man's land to set up a promotion circle for Thor alone.
But Thor just sighed slightly and stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, no matter how many people come to set up the promotion array, whether he can successfully withstand the first wave of crisis after opening the door still depends on him.
If one's own strength is not good enough, even if one forcibly pushes someone up, he will soon be crushed by the subsequent force.
The person who presided over this magic circle is an acquaintance.
With a blank expression on her face and wearing a gorgeous blue tutu, Corey stood on a makeshift casting platform and looked down.
From time to time she would guide a wizard to improve the work he was doing.
The witchcraft array required to advance to the third level is extremely complex and normally requires a third level wizard to preside over it.
However, it is not convenient for the Stargate Council to send in another third-level wizard, and Herbert and Pearl will not take any action personally except providing resources and being present.
This is also to avoid suspicion.
Therefore, this difficult task finally fell on Corey, who was currently the closest to the third level.
As the protagonist, Thor only needs to check it personally after the promotion array is set up.
The rest of the time, he needs to keep himself in perfect condition and full of energy.
At this moment, Thor saw Corey looking up at him.
He raised his hand and greeted him, who nodded slightly and then went back to his work.
"Brother Thor, this little witch is not bad, she looks like a cute doll. Do you like her?"
Penny is acting naughty again.
"I like you more." Thor put an end to Penny's teasing with just one sentence.
He heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Byron climbing the last step to the top of the tower.
"When is the promotion ceremony scheduled?" Byron asked.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it will be in five days." For some reason, Thor always felt a little uneasy when he saw his senior, but after thinking about it, he couldn't figure out where the uneasiness came from.
"I haven't asked you for a long time, Senior Byron, how is your inerting experiment going?"
Byron thought for a moment and replied, "Small-scale inerting can already be done in the laboratory. But once the amount is increased, the original experiment will not be effective. It should be that when the amount of inerting is increased, the energy required will increase exponentially. At present, there is no suitable consumable energy that can provide the corresponding energy in a short time."
At this point, he paused for a moment and said, "Well, not yet, but I will continue to look for suitable materials and conduct experiments."
Thor also knew that such experiments often took years to complete. It was already good enough to complete the small-scale purification.
Like last time, he used the method provided by Byron to inertate the polluted energy near the eye of the storm for a short period of time, creating a chance for Kismet to escape.
It’s just that Kismet is a disappointing kid. When he was given a chance, he just used it to daydream?
After complaining about Kismet, Thor came back to his senses and gave Byron a little advice.
"Senior, there is actually a difference between small experiments in the laboratory and large experiments in actual application scenarios. For example, if we do not pursue the complete purification of pollution, but strive to reduce the pollution to a level that the wizard's body can withstand, it can be considered as inertization."
Byron's eyes lit up. "Good idea. I was too perfectionist before. According to your idea, I now have a way to complete large-scale inertization. However, this method is a one-time thing, so we still have to continue looking for other suitable energy supply materials."
Just as Thor was about to ask what kind of disposable material was so powerful, he felt a strong mental fluctuation coming from behind him.
He looked back and saw Pei'er, whom he had not seen for a long time, coming towards him with the wind.
This time she still did not land on the wizard tower, but landed next to Corey.
But after falling down, she nodded slightly in the direction of the wizard tower.
It was as if she was telling Thor with this action that she would wait for him.
…
The wind demon, who was not originally required to participate, added one more check on the magic circle before Thor's inspection.
She showed through her actions how much importance she attached to the promotion ceremony.
But it seemed a little strange to outsiders. Pearl came over specially to help Thor check the magic circle, but the two of them never spoke to each other, and the distance between them was never less than ten meters.
However, the strange relationship between the two did not affect the progress of the promotion ceremony.
Five days later, Herbert and a dozen wizards came to the shore of Lake Rhine again.
At this time, Thor also completed three rounds of inspections of the magic circle.
Although Corey was once Thor's competitor, she has always been dedicated and dedicated in setting up the magic circle without any adulteration.
Of course, in return, she also obtained all the knowledge points of this promotion auxiliary magic circle.
However, this magic circle requires a considerable amount of resources. If it were not for the supply from the behemoth Stargate Council, it would take an ordinary wizard many years to accumulate enough resources.
The ceremony is about to begin.
Thor took off from the Pure Spirit Wizard Tower on Diudiu, crossed the Rhine Lake, and landed in the center of the giant magic circle.
The diameter of this magic circle is 100 meters. Almost every basic structure and every witchcraft rune is arranged with corresponding witchcraft materials.
The entire magic circle is one meter below the ground, and the excavated sand is processed into pillars, which become energy supply points for the entire magic circle.
Each pillar is engraved with patterns of magic arrays and inlaid with a large number of magic crystals.
Looking at such a gorgeous true appearance, if Thor hadn't known that this was a witchcraft circle prepared for him, he would have wanted to step forward and secretly take away some resources.
There were many people surrounding the magic circle.
These people included wizards and apprentices who settled in the Rhine Lake settlement, hundreds of wizards who came to help build advanced magic circles, and Thor's "friends" - Jar Jar and Brando also came.
Including Senior Byron, everyone stood together with the consciousnesses.
Promotion to the third level may not happen once in hundreds of years.
Although these people are just bystanders, they may also gain certain knowledge from it, which will help them improve their own abilities.
Therefore, anyone who had a relationship with Thor and had worked in the magic circle chose to stay and watch.
At this time, Corey was still standing on the platform where she once presided over the arrangement of the magic circle.
She looked at Thor and finally couldn't help revealing a hint of envy.
But when she spoke, the complicated emotions in her heart had disappeared.
"Thor, let's activate the magic circle from the outside. When all the energy towers are lit up, you can receive the magic power transmitted by the entire magic circle."
Thor nodded. They had already gone over the process of operating the magic circle several times, but facing Corey's repeated reminder, Thor did not become impatient.
The energy towers are the pillars in the magic circle. These pillars will gather the power of the entire wizard tower and transmit it to Thor in the middle.
And Thor needs to control these powers and completely open the door in his body.
It was quiet all around.
Even Pearl and Herbert stared at Thor without blinking.
"start!"
