Chapter 15: The Difference Between Wizards (Please read, collect, and recommend!)
Chapter 15
The two books, "Introduction to Natural Wizardry" and "From Natural Novice to Lord of the Earth", are easy to understand and very suitable for newcomers like Lin En to understand the basic knowledge of natural wizards.
They not only systematically introduced the core concepts of natural wizards, but also allowed Lin En to have a more comprehensive understanding of the entire wizarding world by comparing the research directions of other wizard categories.
"Wizards have different research directions, and the difficulty of practice, the resources consumed, and even the final rewards are also very different."
Late at night, Lin En gently pushed open the window. The night was as dark as ink, the moon was high in the sky, and the cool night breeze blew in from the window, brushing across his face, bringing a bit of freshness and tranquility.
His eyes fell into the distance, thinking about what he had just learned.
Elemental wizards are the most mainstream research direction in the wizarding world.
Natural elements such as fire, ice, and lightning can be found everywhere, and the research resources are relatively cheap, making them extremely cost-effective.
Although it is not easy for an elemental wizard to excel in his practice, he rarely has fatal shortcomings. He is a type of wizard who follows the golden mean. He is stable, reliable, and generally accepted.
But bloodline wizards are completely different.
The bloodline wizard is a practice direction with a very high starting point but a limited upper limit.
They quickly strengthen themselves by extracting the blood of powerful monsters. If they can obtain the blood of high-level monsters, bloodline wizards can almost reach a very high level in a short period of time, and their cultivation speed is far faster than other types of wizards.
However, this convenience does not come without a price - the growth ceiling of bloodline wizards is almost certain.
Unless they can further purify the blood in their bodies, concentrate it and elevate it to a higher level, they will always stop at a certain realm.
As for natural wizards, they are a completely different kind of existence.
This is the path Lynn has chosen now.
The training of a natural wizard during his apprenticeship period is quite difficult.
In order to cultivate the seeds of life, he must use more than 80% of the mental power in his mind to nourish the seeds. He cannot use his mental power at will to cast witchcraft, which makes his combat effectiveness far inferior to other wizards at the same stage.
But once he successfully becomes a formal wizard and lets the seed of life blossom and sprout, he will gain powerful abilities unique to natural wizards.
This potential is unattainable by other wizard classes.
After the seed of life blooms and sprouts, its growth process is completely watered and controlled by the spiritual power of the natural wizard.
Therefore, an independent consciousness will not be born, but will directly merge with the consciousness of the natural wizard.
To use Lin En’s words from his previous life, this seed of life has actually been “taken over” by a wizard.
According to Lin En's understanding, this phenomenon is like a wizard gaining a "second soul" or "second infant", which greatly enhances his mental power and witchcraft ability.
And after each seed of life germinates, it will come with a unique talent and secret skill!
Through the description in the book, Lin En learned that the reason why formal wizards can easily crush wizard apprentices is not only because of the huge gap in mental power level, but also because of a key factor - the permanent witchcraft mark.
When a third-level wizard apprentice is successfully promoted to a formal wizard, a permanent witchcraft mark will condense in his body.
This mark can be transformed into the wizard's innate ability, becoming an instinctive spell, and can continuously act on the wizard's body.
For example, some wizards' innate marks will allow them to automatically emit an icy aura or a flame shield, which can take effect without consuming any additional mental energy.
More importantly, due to the existence of permanent witchcraft marks, official wizards' bodies will naturally emit energy radiation.
This radiation is not only a symbol of the wizard's powerful strength, but also a deadly threat to ordinary people. The body of a mortal who is exposed to radiation for a long time will gradually collapse and cannot be reversed.
However, the biggest difference between natural wizards and other wizards is that in addition to being able to obtain a permanent witchcraft mark, they will also have a unique talent and secret skill due to the blooming of the seed of life.
This means that natural wizards will have one more powerful means than other wizards when they reach the formal wizard stage!
This characteristic of "accumulating strength and then releasing it into a new state" is the greatest charm of natural wizards.
Although the wizard apprentice stage is extremely difficult, the life seed occupies most of their mental energy, causing their combat effectiveness to be extremely weak.
But once they successfully become formal wizards, the blossoming of the seed of life will give them unparalleled advantages.
What is more noteworthy is that the seed of life does not just "take up space" even at the wizard apprentice stage.
Although it imprisoned 80% of the mental power, when necessary, the seed of life could also actively release some special means.
It’s just that compared to conventional witchcraft, using life seeds will result in a higher loss of mental energy.
Lin En put down the book, rubbed his brow, and thought about the details.
"The book mentions that there seems to be a certain proportional relationship between the power of witchcraft and the loss of mental strength, but it doesn't explain it clearly. Perhaps I need to find a chance to ask Colin or Sonya..."
There was a gleam of inquiry in Lynn's eyes.
He vaguely felt that if he could calculate the difference in mental energy consumption between the method of releasing life seeds and ordinary witchcraft, he might be able to plan future directions and combat strategies more reasonably.
But Lynn was disappointed.
He stayed in the house for three whole days, but received no news from Sonya.
Instead, it was Remi who came to visit.
Remi told him that Sonya was very busy and couldn't see him for the time being.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
As for Lynn's work arrangement, like Remi, he was assigned to the potion garden, responsible for the daily maintenance of the potions.
The potion garden is an enclosed greenhouse space with rows of strange and wonderful magic herbs planted inside.
These magic herbs have strange shapes and unique smells. Some emit a pungent fragrance, while others have a faint smell of corruption, but Lin En can feel that they all contain some kind of strange life energy.
Lynn followed Remi through the paths in the park, and Remi explained to him as they walked.
"When you have time, you must read the book 'Magic Potions Maintenance for Beginners' to familiarize yourself with the maintenance methods in it. Our work is not complicated. It mainly involves using mental power to check the life status of these magic herbs and determine whether they need watering, pest control, or nutritional supplements. We have to inspect them twice a day, and each inspection takes about four hours." (Note: 24 hours a day)
"Eight hours a day is the minimum, plus some other odd jobs, so basically I have to be busy for about ten hours a day."
Remi explained, his tone was rather light.
Hearing this, Lin En widened his eyes and blurted out:
"Ten hours? Isn't that too much trouble?"
Remi was stunned for a moment, then showed a puzzled expression:
"In the furnace, this is considered a fairly easy job, especially for newcomers like us. You know, some new apprentices in the alchemy department need to forge iron for at least twelve hours a day, and they also have to use their mental power to observe the changes in the materials. They can't slack off at all during the process."
Remi's words left Lynn speechless.
He subconsciously glanced at the strange-looking magic herbs in the potion garden, and suddenly realized that the so-called "easy" work might only be relative.
In fact, Remi was very curious about Lynn.
He was especially confused when Sonya asked him to bring Lynn to work with her.
Remi knew that he was assigned to such an "easy" position in the Potion Garden because he used his connections and put in a lot of effort.
But it was obviously unexpected that Lin En, a complete newcomer, could do the same job as him.
Lin En shrugged and sighed helplessly: "Well, it turns out that this is an easy job..."
There was something in his mind that he didn't know whether he should say it or not. Now he finally understood the true meaning of the name "Crucible".
The furnace is a huge machine that works for the great dark wizard.
And in this machine, every apprentice and every wizard is an indispensable gear.
Each of them must contribute their own strength to the operation of the furnace, burning their own time and energy until their value is fully tempered! (End of this chapter)
