Chapter 256: Deployment of the Wizard Apprentice
Chapter 256
In the wizarding world, golden light ripples in the starry sky gate, and circles of halos spread like ripples.
Lin En stared quietly at his own clone in the star gate with his eyes closed, reading all the memories of the past month.
Different from before.
This time, the content of the clone's experience was extremely compact, far beyond the day-to-day practice and experiments of the past.
The situation in Lanyu Province changed, the battle for the capital of Cuilan Principality, the death of Klaus...
And finally, the powerful arrival of the Ichthyosaur Emperor, and the arrogance and murderous intent displayed by the Ichthyosaur Throne Kelvan...
All the memories came flooding back.
When Lin En finished reading all the memories and slowly opened his eyes, there was a hint of cold murderous intent in his eyes.
"Kelvan..."
"When I finally come, that will be the day you fall."
In a flash, Lin En had already put the Golden Throne on his kill list.
But before that, his attention fell in another direction:
"The Creation Society... The World Tree..."
"I can feel that this will be the key opportunity for me to be promoted to a fourth-level wizard!"
Lynn whispered, his eyes flashing with a heat that he had never seen before.
He is determined to obtain this plane.
The next moment, he calmly ordered:
"Helen, get ready for action."
As soon as the words fell, the great wizard Helen, who was standing not far away and processing the instrument and rune data, immediately responded:
"Yes, Master Qinglin!"
He then handed over the analysis work to great wizards such as Bodo and Mona, and walked quickly to the lower space of the wizard tower.
In that space, a group of apprentices wearing black wizard robes had already gathered.
These people are newcomers who passed the test not long ago and were just selected to enter the Wizard Tower.
However, they were not idle.
Within a few days, everyone was assigned the same task:
Try to refine those totems that look like they are made of black iron!
Some apprentices successfully completed the refining and were recognized;
And many more people are still trying hard and struggling at the key points of refining.
At this moment, the dim magic crystal lamp flickered slightly, illuminating one interlaced light and shadow after another in the lower level of the wizard tower.
At the front of the team stood a blond boy, it was Quentin.
Similarly, he was also one of the first apprentices to successfully refine the "Black Iron Totem".
Quentin stood straight with a calm expression, but his brows could not hide the tension and confusion that he could not suppress.
Beside him, there stood a dozen apprentices who had completed the refining process like him. They all had young faces, but their eyes were different. Some were excited, some were nervous, and some were confused...
There is only one thing in common: they were all informed to wait here for the arrival of a great wizard.
In silence, Quentin lowered his eyes, but there was a great deal of turmoil in his heart:
"These tasks assigned to us by the Palace Master...are very strange no matter how you look at them."
"The aura of those black iron totems is strange. They don't look like creatures native to the wizarding world at all. They look more like foreign things..."
"I, Quentin, am afraid that I will be incorporated into the Palace Master's plane expedition team..."
He complained silently, his brows twisted into a knot.
The wizard's apprentices are not fools, especially those like Quentin who were originally careless and lazy.
Although Lynn did not say it explicitly, many apprentices had already keenly sensed the unusual meaning through the unusual details behind the tasks.
For example, the method of refining totems does not fully fit the wizard system;
For example, these totems seem to correspond to the path of spiritual practice in another system;
For example, those scattered and completely different texts and contents from other worlds, etc.... all make people imagine.
What's more, the library of the Temple of Life already contains a large number of books about Morning Star Wizards and Plane Expeditions.
Apprentices who have read a little more are naturally familiar with the concept of "plane conquest".
However, compared to other people who were excited about the possibility of making achievements, being appreciated by adults, and rising to fame overnight, Quentin's heart was a different picture:
"Tsk... I just came here for fun. Who would have thought I would be chosen?!"
"I'm just a little wizard apprentice who doesn't want to get involved, doesn't want to die, and just wants to live a carefree life and flirt with some schoolgirls..."
"Now, I've become the first batch of cannon fodder to go to another world... Isn't this just a way to get yourself killed?"
His eyes were a little dazed, and as he looked at the black rune door in front of him that was about to open, an indescribable irritation emerged in his heart.
Obviously, he just wanted to spend his apprentice wizard career in peace, date a few pretty female apprentices, complete a few alchemy courses, and accumulate some points to exchange for magic crystal wine.
But fate dragged him to the front line.
What made him even more speechless was...
Not only did he pass the audition, but due to some strange physique, he also showed extremely high totem adaptability and was directly included in the core seed of the first batch of expedition list!
“What a hell!”
"Unfortunately, this mission cannot be abandoned whenever one wants. The list has been submitted. Trying to escape is tantamount to seeking death."
"It seems that at that time, all I can do is... hide in a corner and try not to die."
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, his eyes were a little vague, and he gritted his teeth, as if to give himself courage:
"Besides... we are the first group of wizard apprentices to go there, so we should be given special care... It's better than the cannon fodder behind us, right?"
Quentin kept brainwashing himself, as if this could soothe the anxiety in his heart.
Just as his mind was full of wild thoughts.
“Click.”
A low mechanical sound was heard.
The door that was originally tightly closed opened silently, and a gust of cold air mixed with magical fluctuations blew towards him.
Then, an old but tall figure slowly walked out from behind the door.
He was wearing a dark purple wizard robe, his hair was white as frost, his face was calm, his eyes were like knives, and there was a powerful aura in his steps.
That is the great wizard Helen.
"hiss……!"
For a brief moment, the air seemed to freeze, and all the wizard apprentices lowered their heads almost as a conditioned reflex, with faces filled with awe and tension from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone, including Quentin, knows the identity of this old man:
The big shot of the Temple of Life, the third-level great wizard, controls countless affairs within the Temple of Life.
To have such a figure show up in person to greet a group of wizard apprentices was a treatment they could never even dream of.
“…No need to be polite.”
Great Wizard Helen's voice was calm, yet with a hint of majesty: "Follow me. You will participate in an expedition of great significance."
Before he finished speaking, many apprentices' heartbeats began to speed up.
Helen continued:
"If you perform well in the next action, you will not only have the opportunity to gain the favor of the Lord Palace Master, but also obtain the key resources needed to break through to become a formal wizard... Your destiny will be written by you."
At the beginning, the great wizard Helen directly drew a big round pie for the wizard apprentices.
Some wizard apprentices came here for the purpose of "the rewards for tasks issued by the Palace Master himself are bound to be generous."
At this moment, they got the guarantee from the great wizard Helen, so they were naturally relieved and their eyes were filled with passion. They must try their best in this mission and fight for the opportunity to become a wizard.
Quentin mingled in the crowd, praying in his heart that he could live safely until the end of this plane expedition.
………………
Under the personal leadership of the great wizard Helen, these wizard apprentices also enjoyed some kind of "special treatment".
After all, ordinary formal wizards are not qualified to personally eat in the restaurant of the Palace Master's Wizard Tower.
But this group of wizard apprentices, led by the great wizard Helen, went to the top of the tower one floor after another.
Lin En's wizard tower was built by the great wizard Helen and others with all their efforts. No one knew how many resources were consumed.
Although it is not as good as the Morning Star Wizard's wizard tower, it is already a very precious and advanced wizard tower among the third-level wizards.
This wizard tower is extremely tall, piercing into the sky like an obsidian pillar. Its witchcraft structure is complex and intricate, as if it contains a mysterious realm.
Each layer is filled with different magical fields and rule forces, which is an eye-opener for these wizard apprentices who are just starting out.
Along the way, they saw many wonders that they had only heard of in ancient books:
A magical energy array that can self-adjust;
Alchemical constructs with autonomous consciousness patrol the sky;
Exotic flowers and plants gleaming with rainbow light grow quietly on both sides of the passage;
I even saw a strange spirit plant with six eyes and a body covered in silver, gracefully gnawing on some stone creature...
All this is like opening the door to a new world.
"This... is the Palace Master's wizard tower? This is not a tower at all, it's an independent wizard world!"
Many apprentices were shocked and looked around as they walked, overwhelmed by the sight.
Finally, this newly formed "reserve expedition team", led by the great wizard Helen, slowly stepped into the top floor of the wizard tower.
As soon as they stepped into this area, all the wizard apprentices felt their bodies tense up, as if they were in an invisible ocean of oppression.
All around, wizards were busy with various devices and ritual platforms.
Each figure was surrounded by terrifying magical fluctuations, and just a glance at them could make one's scalp tingle.
"That's... a second-level wizard... and... a third-level great wizard?"
Quentin hid in the crowd, observing these figures carefully. Relying on their energy shields and robe emblems, he quickly identified the levels of several high-level wizards among them.
His Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes passed through the crowd and finally landed on the most eye-catching figure...
A man in a pitch-black wizard robe was standing quietly in front of the starry sky gate, looking like the master who controls the stars in the dark night.
To Quentin's surprise, this master of the Hall of Life, who was said to control the entire Hall of Life and was ranked as the Morning Star Wizard, was unexpectedly young.
He has a handsome face, deep features, and his eyes seem to hide countless secrets, but there is a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, giving people a kind of affinity like a spring breeze.
If it weren't for the solemnity and terrifying aura of this place, Quentin might even have mistaken him for an aristocratic apprentice.
"This is... the Morning Star Wizard?"
Quentin's heart was shocked. He felt that it was unreal that he was seeing a "living legend" and his feet unconsciously stood a little straighter.
Lin En's gaze was like clouds, gently passing through the crowd.
His eyes were calm, and his thoughts swept over these wizard apprentices like a tide.
In just a moment, he had clearly seen their core indicators such as spiritual power, totem compatibility, and energy control.
All of them are third-level wizard apprentices.
Lin En nodded slightly, muttering in his heart:
"Third-level wizard apprentices, that is, alchemists of the third level of Black Iron... Although they are not as wealthy as the Creation Society and can have bronze alchemists as their loyal soldiers... but this group of people can be regarded as a group of reliable confidants given to my clone..."
His thoughts turned slightly, and Lin En slowly raised his hand and waved it gently.
The starlight behind the Starry Sky Gate trembled slightly in an instant, as if responding to the call of its master.
The wizard apprentices around him immediately fell silent, and all eyes were focused on him, waiting for the instructions of the Morning Star Wizard.
Back then, Lin En was still an insignificant wizard apprentice in the Spirit Eye Forge, obeying the orders of various official wizards...
But now, he has grown into the leader of a faction and started to personally preside over his own plane expedition...
Thinking of this, Lin En looked at the wizard apprentices in front of him calmly and spoke slowly:
"Children of the Temple of Life..."
His voice was not loud, but it was like the sound of a huge bell, echoing in everyone's heart.
"Some of you... already have a vague idea of the path you are about to embark on."
He paused, his eyes sharpened for a moment, and then continued:
"Since the birth of wizard civilization, we have never stopped... expeditions to the heavens, hunting in other worlds, igniting darkness with sparks, and illuminating the unknown with knowledge."
"In this endless sea of planes, our predecessors used witchcraft time and time again to conquer chaos, seal disasters, and bring back all the treasures, resources, and truths of civilization... to the wizarding world, allowing our world to continue to grow and expand!"
Lin En's voice was not loud, but the information in it was like the falling of stars, shocking everyone.
"Now, you young children will also participate in this expedition and contribute to the brilliance of our wizard civilization..."
In the eyes of these wizard apprentices, Lin En is a big man as tall as the sky.
Now that they were praised so highly by such a great figure, many young people instantly became excited.
Lynn, on the other hand, smiled, and was obviously very satisfied with the inspiring performance of these wizard apprentices.
"Compared to other Morning Star wizards in the Dark Wizard Territory... meeting me is considered lucky for these wizard apprentices..."
Lynn shook his head and thought so.
When he was in the Spirit Eye Furnace, he was completely treated as "cannon fodder".
But now, he controls the Hall of Life, and the strategies he implements are more inclined towards the white wizards, which can be said to be rare among the black wizard forces.
If it were any other dark wizard force, how could these wizard apprentices be qualified to listen to a "Morning Star Wizard" like him giving a speech to boost morale...
The Starry Sky Gate shone brightly with golden light. After Lin En's speech, the Great Wizard Helen arranged for these wizard apprentices to be sent to another world, a plane world quite far away from the wizard world...
