Ash and Sigourney leave the spirit world together.
When I opened my eyes in reality, I saw Sigourney in front of me also opening her eyes.
"Changed back?" He looked down at his body, feeling a little regretful. In the end, he still couldn't see Sigourney in her elf-like form.
They were now outside the glorious magic circle, protected by a layer of shield.
It goes without saying that it was Sigourney who brought them outside the magic circle, and then entered his consciousness world through the contract and helped him destroy the devil.
"Do you still need to rest?" Sigourney, who was originally sitting against a tree trunk, stood up neatly and looked towards the center of the forest. "We have passed the most dangerous trap here. There should be nothing to worry about next."
Ash sat next to him and stood up as well, "I'm well rested."
Although only a short time had passed outside, in the dream created by the devil, he had actually spent more than a month. Not only did he get enough rest, but also—
He tilted his head in disbelief: "I am already a senior wizard apprentice."
Since he started school, he has been working hard to construct a spell model in his spiritual world. He already knows the knowledge and rules needed to construct the model.
But once any spell model is successfully built, it will provide feedback and transformation to the spiritual world, gradually improving the wizard's realm.
The same is true for Zero Ring Magic.
After constructing a zero-ring spell model, the human spiritual world will generally have a growth period of one to two weeks. During this period, the spiritual world is turbulent and changing. It is best not to construct the next spell model, otherwise it will affect the growth of the spiritual world.
Therefore, even if Ash already had the confidence to construct other spell models, he had to patiently construct one, wait for the growth period to pass, and then construct another.
At the normal rate, it would take some time for him to become a senior apprentice.
But in the "dream" made up by the devil, he stayed in the cell and insisted on the habit of concentrating on constructing the spell model every day. He thought it was just an illusion, but he didn't expect that now that he returned to reality, the results of his meditation in the "dream" were brought into reality intact.
“How many spell models were constructed?” asked Sigourney.
If he could construct six of them, he would be a senior apprentice. But Sigourney felt that Ash should be more than that.
As expected, Ash gave an honest answer: "Nine."
The spiritual world that constructed nine zero-ring magic spell models has the strength and toughness to support wizards in constructing first-ring magic spell models.
In other words, if Ash takes one more step, he will become a formal wizard.
Considering the time when Ash started learning, this growth rate would surely amaze a lot of people.
The throne might even be willing to accept him as a student.
The Secret Alliance wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Sigourney raised her lips in interest. "The devil is a bewitching person, and he is gifted with spiritual power. You were dragged into a dream by it, which is also a process of your spiritual power competing with it. Humans grow fastest in battle, and so does their spiritual power."
Ash suddenly realized, so it was the pressure and stimulation that the devil gave to his spiritual world that caused his spiritual power to leap forward and grow significantly?
"You can try to construct a first-ring magic." Sigourney looked at him, "Have you decided which first-ring magic to construct?"
Ash nodded, "Debilitating ray."
"Necromancy?" Signe raised her eyebrows. "It's one of the more difficult magics in the first ring. Are you prepared?"
Ash continued nodding, "Yes. I have studied its rule structure."
Sigourney, who had been thinking that after leaving the academy, Ash would not be able to receive timely instruction from the teacher and could only receive temporary instruction on her own: “…” This just saves some trouble.
I am very proud to have such a student, but he is too smart and there is no chance of getting any attention.
——Sigourney experienced in advance the depressing problems that Ash’s teachers will face in the future.
"Let's go." He chose the direction and took a step forward.
But just as he took a step, there was a sudden dent behind him. A tall and thin guy jumped onto his back, wrapped his arms around him, and clamped his legs together. He was very familiar with the process, and it was smooth and natural.
Sigourney: “…” Couldn’t avoid it?
No, I didn't notice it at all.
It was only after the person fell on his back that he reacted.
How many times has this happened that I have been completely defenseless against young people?
Sigourney's mood suddenly became complicated.
"Sigourney?" Ash asked, leaning on his shoulder with his eyes bent, "Is this the way to go?"
"..." Sigourney was silent for a while, "Yes."
He carried Ash on his back and ran quickly towards the center of the forest.
After overcoming the difficulty of the devil, the journey became much smoother. With Ash's perception and Sigourney's violent destruction, the endless traps did not cause any trouble to the two.
Almost at lightning speed, the two rushed out of the range of the gray crystal tree and entered an empty area.
Literally nothing.
A vast circular area of land, with no grass growing on it, covered with a thick layer of snow, reflecting the starlight in the night sky, pure white and quiet. If this was not the center of the Crystal Forest, Ash would have thought it was exactly the same as the square in the Royal City.
But Sigourney told him, "We're here."
Where were we? Rachel's wizard tower?
The space in front of me is empty, where does the tower come from?
Ash wondered: "Is it another illusion circle?" The barrier obscured their vision?
Sigourney carried him on her back and walked towards the center of the snow: "The tower is underground."
"underground?"
"Rachel's wizard tower is inserted upside down into the ground." Sigourney dug out the entrance of the wizard tower from her old memory. Her footsteps were as if measured by a ruler. She stopped precisely at an open space and stepped on it. "Enter from here."
Ash quickly accepted the idea that the wizard tower could be built underground. He stared at Sigourney's feet and whispered, "I don't feel any danger."
He said it hesitantly, this was Rachel's wizard tower, why did he feel safe?
Sigourney nodded thoughtfully, and quickly used a small whirlwind to blow away the snow, revealing a blue ancient ice layer and a metal door embedded in the ice.
The door was not big, so it would be inconvenient for Sigourney to move around with Ash on her back.
Ash noticed this as well and jumped down on his own accord, stepping on the ice. "Want to go in?"
Sigourney stretched out his hand and pulled open the metal door - he pulled it open quite easily, and people who didn't know would probably think it was just an ordinary door - but in fact, the deadly magic attached to the door lost all its blocking and obstructing effects the moment Sigourney's hand touched it.
Only Sigourney could do it so easily.
Behind the opened metal door, a dark entrance was revealed, with steps winding down into a depth beyond the reach of sight.
Sigourney took a step forward, stepped onto the stairs, and answered Ash's question with her own actions.
"Don't you want to wait for Uncle Meng?" Ash was surprised.
"He's a professional." Sigourney tilted her head. "Who knows, he might be waiting for us underground now."
At the same time, he reached back and grabbed Ash.
"Follow me."
If I no longer carry him on my back, this is the only way to prevent Ash from being left alone.
"Hold on tight." He emphasized again.
Ash showed two shallow dimples, tightened his fingers together with his, followed him into the corridor, and the small metal door above closed again.
On the stone walls surrounding the corridor, wall lamps lit up one by one, illuminating the deep and empty space.
