"Ms. Celia, is it true that your organization does not recruit male wizards?"
Levi stared at the sleeping dragon in front of him, unable to take his eyes off it.
He didn't expect that he would be able to see the real dragons so soon.
Not a hybrid, not a sub-dragon, but a true pure-blooded dragon!
"Um, Lord Levi, this is the rule set by the [First Generation Witch], and no one can change it." Celia said.
"Okay... I was just joking, don't take it seriously." Levi smiled. "I didn't expect that there is a giant dragon in your witch's house. I've learned something new."
"Actually, the six towers in the Starry Sea all have their own [Guardians]. These [Guardians] and the six towers have a symbiotic relationship. Lord Levi should be a newcomer and doesn't know much about the situation in the Starry Sea. You will know it later." Celia smiled.
Then she looked at the sleeping dragon over there and said, "This is Ms. Idrasera, the guardian of our Witch House. She is a growing fairy banyan dragon. Three thousand years ago, she signed a guardianship contract with the [Witches] of our time. We provide her with a salary, and she stays in the Witch House to protect our safety."
Celia said quite complacently.
It is indeed a matter of pride for the organization to have a pure-blooded dragon.
"Legend has it that the Fairy Banyan Dragon lives on the World Tree... Could it be that this thousand-foot-tall giant tree is the World Tree?" Levi asked.
"You could say so. This is a piece of the [Original Root] of the [Pandora Mother Tree] that our [First Generation Witch] borrowed from Lord Sauron. Later, the First Generation Witch and other powerful people from the ocean faction came to the Endless Sea and planted the tree roots here, using secret methods to cultivate them.
Millions of years have passed, and the tree roots have grown into towering trees. We call them "demon trees". The magic tree can only grow one centimeter a year, and one meter every hundred years. From the height of the magic tree, we can get a glimpse of the changes in the annual rings of time. "
Levi looked at the magic tree and roughly estimated that the magic tree was about three thousand meters tall, which means that it has been three hundred thousand years since the end of the ancient times!
"My goodness, the Emerald Kingdom is gone in just a thousand years. If we estimate that there is one kingdom every thousand years, during the growth of this magic tree, there may have been three hundred Emerald Kingdoms in the human world."
What does it mean that the world has changed so much? This is it!
"In my previous life, I should have developed advanced technology long ago. However, in this extraordinary world, we can only repeat the cycle continuously without any progress... We cannot say that there is no progress. At least the wizard civilization has made tremendous progress in these 300,000 years. It has developed faster than in the ancient times with a longer time span." Levi sighed inwardly.
"Come with me, Sir Levi, I will take you to report." Celia said.
"Thank you very much."
Levi stopped looking at the dragon.
Although it is only a sub-adult Fairy Banyan Dragon in its growth stage, its strength should be at the level of a high-level Yuanhun wizard.
Levi seemed insignificant in front of him.
Soon, Levi followed Celia to the roots of the magic tree.
Around the magic tree, there are wizard towers of various shapes surrounding it, like the moon surrounded by stars.
According to Celia, these wizard towers are all wizard towers of high-level soul wizards.
Most of the time, they practice in the tower, staying at home and rarely showing up in public. However, in recent years, some of them have gone outside to fight against dark wizards, and now only a few of them stay in the tower, sitting in the headquarters of the Witch's House.
"Such a rich elemental force."
Levi couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course. The mother tree of Pandora itself is a sacred tree. It can absorb the dissipated waste energy released by wizards and some extraordinary creatures during their practice, and transform it into pure elemental power that can be used for practice." Celia was proud.
"The world is not the same..."
Levi felt bitter.
If the concentration of elemental power in the outer ring sea area is 1 standard unit.
The inner sea area is 2, and the star sea area is 3.
In this witch's house, the number is above 5. If some high-level element-gathering arrays are added, the difference will be even higher.
"In the future, I will plant a section of Pandora's mother tree's roots in the plane where the Ancient Saint Empire is located... I want to plant trees too! I can even say that when I build a wizard tower, I will simply use this kind of sacred tree as the main body to construct a wizard tower."
Levi suddenly had a bold idea.
Of course, without the roots of Pandora's mother tree, it's all nonsense.
The potion hut.
This is where the pharmacist of the Witch House is managed.
Temporary pharmacists like Levi are also managed by the Potion Hut.
The decoration inside the cabin looks similar to that in the mortal world, very warm and simple, and even has a fireplace.
There were some books randomly placed on the table, and Levi took a quick look.
"Introduction to Advanced Pharmacy", "Ancient Magic Alchemy", "Comprehensive Mirror of Herbs"...
It is said that some wizards prefer to read paper books, and Levi guessed that the owner of the witch's hut was the same.
However, although it is a paper book, it is also protected and Levi cannot check it at will.
"Ms. Triss, I brought a new person." Celia said.
"Wait a moment." An elegant and charming female voice came from the attic.
"Okay, ma'am, you go ahead. Sir Levi, let's go for a walk outside first. I'll take this opportunity to tell you some things to pay attention to." Celia said.
"Okay." Levi was naturally happy to do so.
When we got outside, we walked and talked.
Celia said, "When you meet Ms. Triss later, don't address her as "senior". This will make her unhappy, even though she is one of the few high-level pharmacists in our Witch House and one of the vice presidents of the Endless Sea Pharmacist Association."
"I'm just here to work as a temporary worker, is there a need to be so grand..." Li Wei complained in his heart. He suddenly remembered some small companies in his previous life where he worked for jobs that did not require much technical skills. It took several rounds of interviews, and in the end he had to interview the boss.
But considering the current situation in the Endless Sea, it is understandable.
Next, Celia told Levi about some taboos, including not being able to extract dragon blood privately and not being able to steal the roots of the magic tree...
It can be seen that these things must have happened in the past.
After chatting for a while, Celia also received a notice from Ms. Triss.
They returned to the cabin, where a witch with golden curly hair, wearing a nightgown and looking a little casual, with disheveled hair, which was incompatible with the image of a meticulous wizard, was leaning lazily on a chair.
"I've read your information. You came from the human world, and then joined a wizard organization in the ninth district of the outer ring. Now you're a self-employed wizard. At your age, it's really great to be a third-ring pharmacist. That's why I chose to meet you alone." Ms. Triss said.
"Levi is humbled and honored to receive the attention of Ms. Triss," Levi said quickly.
The information collected by the Witch House were all his early information. Later, due to the damage of the Heart of Skynet, the information was never updated and Levi had to compile it himself.
Apart from concealing some key secrets and events, Levi basically provided the Witch House with his actual situation, including his talent as a pharmacist. Appropriately exposing some talents would make it easier for him to do things.
Now it seems that the reason why Celia treated me so well is probably because she knew my talent as a pharmacist.
"It's a pity that you are a male wizard. If you were a witch, I could let you join the Witch House... Or, you could learn a sex change spell? Although the Witch House strictly speaking cannot recruit sex change witches, considering your good talent, I can make an exception for you." Triss smiled playfully.
For a moment Levi couldn't tell whether she was joking or serious.
"I still want to be a wizard..." Levi said.
To be honest, he didn't want to join a high-level wizard organization as it had too many restrictions. It would be good enough if he could become a temporary worker, maintain a cooperative relationship, and each get what they need.
"No kidding, this is a temporary badge. With the badge and the spell, you can travel freely between our organization and Pluto City. Wizards are not allowed to stay overnight in our Witch House, so after you accept the pharmaceutical task here, you can go back to Pluto City. Celia is your contact person, and your pharmaceutical tasks are all assigned by her, unless it is some special potion. The success rate of ordinary three-ring potions cannot be less than 80%, otherwise we will terminate the temporary employment agreement, and you will also need to pay liquidated damages and corresponding material loss costs..."
Triss handed Levi a green leaf-shaped badge, which was the symbol of the Witch's House.
"I'm fine here. If you have any questions, just go to Celia." Triss yawned and patted her lips with her slender, beautiful fingers.
"Thank you, ma'am. We'll take our leave now." Levi and Celia left.
After receiving the pharmaceutical task and materials, Levi was about to leave with Celia when a witch in gorgeous clothes came towards them.
"Sir Levi, why are you here?" The witch looked at Levi in surprise.
When Levi took a look, he found that it was an acquaintance, the Rose Witch, who was Newt's partner and one of the twenty-four flowers.
"I'm here to interview a temporary job... Long time no see, how is Wizard Newt doing now?" Levi thought of the serious and meticulous man.
"Newt found a job as an appraiser professor in a wizarding organization, and is doing his old job," said Rose.
"Which organization?"
"The Spark Wizarding Academy is a five-ring wizarding organization that has recently emerged and is gaining popularity."
Levi's memories suddenly returned to the Black Pearl Wizard Market.
"Garcia, the wizard organization founded by Sparrow... I didn't expect that it is still doing well now. This is quite beyond my expectation." Levi thought to himself.
"I have something else to do. Where does Lord Levi live now? Pluto City? I will come to you to reminisce when I am done with this." asked the Rose Witch.
"Yes, I'm staying in Pluto City temporarily. You can come to the Witch's House to contact me when the time comes." Levi said.
After bidding farewell to the Rose Witch, Levi returned to the Witch's House Pharmacy in Pluto City using spells and badges.
Apparently, this is the teleportation point to the Witch's House headquarters.
"Sir Levi, do you know the Flower Witch?" Celia asked.
"No... I don't know her. I only know the Rose Witch. Is she also the temporary pharmacist here?"
"No, the Rose Witch is also an official member of our Witch House." Celia said.
"Isn't the Rose Witch a member of the Flower Witch? I remember that the Flower Witch is the leader of the Sword Flower Tower, so why is she here too?"
"The Flower Witch came from the Witch House and is currently a senior member of our Witch House. The Sword Flower Tower is an organization she founded outside on her own, so she can also be considered a part of the Witch House."
"I see, Lord Celia, if there is nothing else, I'll take my leave. This is the list of potion materials I need. Please help me collect them from the Witch House. I will buy them at the market price." Levi said.
"Okay, if you don't have enough money, it can be deducted from your remuneration." Celia looked at the list of materials Levi needed. They were all materials for refining three-ring meditation auxiliary potions and were very valuable.
It is very difficult for a self-employed wizard like Levi to collect this amount of money.
After all, she is also a third-ring wizard. She has been in the Witch House for so long that she cannot completely use meditation-assisting potions freely. It is lucky for her to use a few of them a year.
"Thank you very much."
"Goodbye, Lord Levi, and welcome to the Witch's House again." The little witch Klee said sweetly.
"Goodbye, Kelly."
Levi waved and left.
He took ten potion materials from the Witch's House and had to complete the refining work within half a month and then hand them in on time and in full.
"I can also improve my pharmaceutical proficiency while I'm at it, and I got a potion formula for free."
Similarly, the drug formulas are all signed with a confidentiality agreement and can only be taken by oneself and may not be used for any profit-making activities.
Levi's pharmaceutical skills are now at level 11. Maybe he can raise them to level 12 here, which is the level of a third-ring senior pharmacist.
He rented a place in Pluto City, intending to stay in the wizarding world for a while and collect more unique resources and knowledge to bring back to the human world.
A month passed quickly.
In addition to refining potions, Levi also collected a large number of low-level spell books in Pluto City in preparation for integrating the three-ring talent spell.
A few third-ring spells were also received, but not many, because the inheritance of knowledge of spells, potions, and arrays above the intermediate level was basically controlled by wizard organizations and families, making it very difficult for independent practitioners to obtain them.
This is also the reason why the Starfire Wizarding Academy was able to rise so quickly.
The threshold for admission to the Wizard Academy is low, and it also provides independent wizards with a way to obtain resources.
This afternoon.
In a tavern, Levi and the Rose Witch sat face to face, drinking.
"The little girl Violet is now in seclusion and is striving to reach the third-ring wizard realm, otherwise I would have brought her here to meet you. She is very impressed with you and often mentions you, so much so that our master is also interested in you." said the Rose Witch.
Levi smiled bitterly and said, "I am just an ordinary wizard, barely making a living in the wizarding world, wandering around without even an organization. I am not worthy of the attention of a big figure like the Flower Witch... Is she also in the Witch House now?"
"After the master advanced to the level of a Soul Wizard, she first took the initiative to participate in several Soul Wizard battles and achieved many military exploits. Later, she was preparing to build her own holy tower. In order to collect some materials, she left the wizarding world and traveled to other dimensions. She has been gone for more than ten years, and no one knows when she will return." Qiangwei said.
For Yuanhun wizards, it is common to travel through planes for decades or even hundreds of years.
The lifespan of a six-ring Yuanhun wizard is up to two thousand years. As far as Levi knows, the lifespan of a flower witch is less than three hundred years after her practice.
Moreover, after becoming an intermediate wizard, other wizards progressed slower and slower, but she progressed faster and faster.
There are so many rumors outside that the Flower Witch might be the reincarnation of a "great wizard" or even a "legendary wizard".
Of course, the Flower Witch did not acknowledge this rumor.
But Levi thinks this possibility is very high.
Now that he has a proficiency panel, coupled with those elemental affinity talents and not too bad resources, his cultivation speed is basically not inferior to that of a regular child of the element.
However, it has been about eighty years since he embarked on the path of a wizard, and he has only cultivated to the level of a third-ring wizard.
Levi estimated that it would take at least four to five hundred years to advance to a higher level.
Although there are differences in talents among the Sons of Elements, and there are some other variables that will affect the speed of practice, the gap is not so huge.
In Levi's opinion, only the legendary reincarnation and cultivation could lead to such rapid progress.
"Oh, when can I catch up with the Hundred Flowers Knights and recruit them into my...Knight Order!" Levi was still thinking about recruiting the Hundred Flowers.
While daydreaming, Rose's voice came: "Sir Levi, are you still researching and collecting extraordinary creatures?"
She looked at the Alice ring on Levi's hand.
"Yes."
"I wonder if Lord Levi is interested in the [Red Nether Bird]?"
"Red Nether Bird? Wasn't this extraordinary creature declared extinct in the wizarding world a thousand years ago?"
The reason why Levi had heard of this bird was because he happened to see its information when he was collecting creatures with phoenix bloodline.
“To be honest, my two friends and I discovered the entrance to a lost secret realm in the Endless Sea some time ago. Inside is an ancient wizard relic that appears to have been left behind by a mid-level wizard organization.
There is a large botanical garden inside, with many medicinal resources that are scarce in the outside world. Unfortunately, there is a big black bird entrenched in the botanical garden. My two other friends and I are all three-ring wizards, and one of them is a senior three-ring wizard.
As a result, after a fierce battle, we were no match for the big bird. We had no choice but to withdraw and make other plans. When we came out to check, we found that the big bird was actually the [Red Nether Bird].
This extraordinary creature possesses extremely strong self-healing abilities, and with the help of the strange magic circle in the botanical garden in the ruins, it can almost reach the point of immortality. Unless a fourth-ring wizard takes action and kills it instantly, destroying its soul, it will be resurrected.
But if we find a fourth-ring wizard, we probably won't get any of those precious herbs. I think you are a super biologist, so you might have a solution. So I'd like to ask for your help. After that, we can distribute the herbs in the botanical garden, including other resources from the ancient wizard ruins, according to our contributions."
"Isn't Wizard Newt also an extraordinary biologist?" Levi asked instead without rushing to agree.
"If we want to get those resources, we will most likely have to kill the Red Nether Bird... You know, Newt hates this the most. I didn't even dare to tell him about this." The Rose Witch said helplessly.
"Actually, I don't like fighting and killing supernatural creatures, but Lord Rose is my friend. I can think about it and give you an answer later." Levi explained.
Qiangwei covered her mouth and smiled: "I understand."
After reminiscing about the past with Levi, Qiangwei left.
"The Red Nether Bird... turns out to be this extraordinary creature. I have found the secret medicine for my Dead Ash Breathing Technique."
The Black Flame Bird had long been unable to support Li Wei Wei, causing his Dead Ashes Breathing Technique to be stuck at the twelfth level, making it difficult to make any progress.
"However, there are certain risks in going to ancient wizard ruins and exploring secret realms, especially when teaming up with others... Ms. Rose is fine. Judging from her danger perception, she has no ill intentions. But it's hard to say about her friends. If I go, I must be fully prepared. It would be best if everyone signs a non-harm agreement before exploring."
The last time Levi teamed up with others was when he was hunting earth dragon beasts in the human world. That time, he was backstabbed by his teammates.
Fortunately, he was very strong and successfully fought back.
You definitely have to go there. If you miss this opportunity, you may never see this shop again.
Besides, Levi can even kill a four-ring wizard, so he won't be defeated by a few three-ring wizards. However, he still needs to be cautious.
Three days later.
Levi replied to Ms. Rose that he would participate in the exploration.
Ms. Rose said that she had a friend who was a magic array wizard, and they needed to prepare some magic arrays to restrain the relic magic array in advance, so they planned to go exploring in a year.
Levi naturally had no objection, he also needed to prepare.
In Pluto's city.
Levi's cooperation with the Witch House was going smoothly, and the quality and success rate of the potions he refined were recognized by the Witch House.
Celia also helped Levi collect all the materials for the potion and asked Levi to pick them up.
He arrived at the witch's house, and the little witch was quickly calculating the expenses.
"Keli has calculated that a total of 105,000 Taishi will be needed, of which 3,000 Taishi can be deducted from Mr. Levi's salary for the next five years."
Levi took the goods and took a rough look at them. The materials inside should be enough to refine about a hundred meditation-aiding potions, which would be enough for him to practice for ten years.
The higher the level of the meditation-assisting potion, the longer the effect lasts.
The price was not a problem, so Levi handed over another 100,000 Taishi. Now he only had 250,000 Taishi left.
Although he was still a wealthy man among the three-ring wizards, he always felt insecure.
Even Celia was surprised. She obviously didn't expect that Levi, a casual wizard, would be so rich.
Even if they were three-ring wizards in the Witch House, most of them couldn't come up with so many Taishi, not counting the fixed assets.
"Sure enough, Lord Levi is no simple person. Not only is he a talented pharmacist, he's also rich. It's just that his appearance doesn't quite match my aesthetic taste..." Celia was fantasizing over there.
She also wanted to find a three-ring wizard who was rich, talented and had potential, and to travel together on the wizarding journey.
However, she looked down upon ordinary wizards, and the wizards she liked looked down upon her...
So, until now, Celia is still alone.
"Thank you, Miss Celia." Levi put away the materials and left.
"This Celia is a good person. After seeing that I am rich, she didn't even think about killing people to steal treasures. But I still have to be careful in the future and not show off my wealth."
…
Time flies and a year has passed.
The year 1095 of the Holy Hui Calendar, the month of harvest.
This year, Levi's pharmaceutical proficiency has increased more than in the past few years combined.
Adding the materials he already had, Levi collected the materials for one hundred meditation potions. In half a year, he refined them all, and successfully made eighty-six potions in total, which was enough for his practice for a long time.
It is estimated that by the time he has digested all the ingredients for the medicine, coupled with the rich elemental power of the Starry Sea, his mental strength will be able to reach 150 points.
Among the three wizard arts, refining equipment and magic arrays are still stuck at the fifth level, which is the second ring level, because there are no more advanced blueprints and inheritance.
As for spells, the three-ring spell Yangyan Explosion has been pushed to the ninth level limit by Levi.
"Go and try out how powerful it is."
Levi left Pluto alone and found an uninhabited sea area.
On his right eye, he wore a pair of peculiarly shaped single-frame glasses. The glasses seemed to be made of some kind of crystal, and were engraved with extremely complex miniature magic arrays and runes.
Levi held the spell materials in his hands and chanted the spell of Yangyan Explosion. Soon, five golden flames grew larger in his hands, quickly spinning and merging, and finally turned into a golden sun with a diameter of about ten meters.
The golden flames were thrown out and exploded.
The shock wave of fire swept over and submerged Levi.
Boom, flames shot up into the sky.
At the same time, numbers began to appear on the lenses of the glasses Levi was wearing.
[Attack energy detected, attack strength coefficient: 33 cards.]
"After the Sunburst is fully practiced, the attack strength is 33 cards... Very good. After all, the upper limit of the attack strength of a third-level spell is 39 cards. This power is enough to shatter most third-level defense fields. This wizard named Castro is really a genius. He can actually invent such a thing."
Levi took off his glasses and put them away.
This single-frame pair of glasses, called the Eye of Castro, was a small gadget developed by a high-level wizard named Castro in the wizarding world a few years ago. So far, it has not been mass-produced, so most low-level wizards don't even know about it.
It was because of Levi's acquaintance with Rose that he learned about this thing from the Witch's House, and then he spent a high price of three thousand Taishi to buy one for an early trial.
It is said that if it were not for the war, the Wizard Council would have been ready to vigorously promote the [Eye of Castro] within the wizard civilization.
At the same time, a system for classifying spell attack strength will gradually be applied. That is the "Castro Test".
This testing method will change the previous complicated and inconsistent spell strength grading system of wizard civilization and cancel the so-called abstract grade divisions such as S, A, B, and C.
From then on, the measurement and evaluation standard for all offensive spells is the "Castro strength" that can be achieved after practicing to the limit without any other amplification variables, referred to as "Ka".
The standard for 1 card is based on "Fireball" as the reference unit.
The attack strength of a perfect fireball is 1 card.
The attack strength limit of a first-level spell is 3 cards, that of a second-level spell is 12 cards, and that of a third-level spell is 39 cards.
The upper limit is the theoretical limit that a spell can reach. Generally speaking, only spells of S-level standard, when practiced to perfection, can reach the upper limit.
The attack strength of most spells is far from its upper limit, and the range of spell attack strength becomes larger as time goes by.
Under normal circumstances, the power of Yangyan Blast is actually around 27 cards, which is already very strong.
Levi was able to reach the terrifying 33 cards because of the special effects of the Ether Lord and the enhancement of the Fire Dragon's true body. He was only 6 cards away from the theoretical limit.
However, these 6 cards stump 99 percent of the third-ring spells.
"Having this magical device will be of great help to me in testing the power of spells and choosing the right talent spells for myself. If I can synthesize an attack spell with an upper limit of 39 cards, then with the blessing of special effects, my actual attack strength will definitely exceed 40 points, reaching the lower limit of a fourth-ring spell."
In other words, if Levi possessed a set of top-grade third-ring spells that could reach the upper limit of attack, then even without relying on the way of the knight, he would be able to fight against ordinary fourth-ring wizards.
After all, the difference between the best third-ring spell and the worst fourth-ring spell is actually not that big.
Of course, top-grade spells are extremely rare. For ordinary wizards, the difficulty of obtaining a top-grade third-ring spell is much higher than obtaining an ordinary fourth-ring spell, which is not worth the effort.
But for Levi, with the proficiency panel, as long as he has enough low-level spells, he can synthesize top-quality spells.
For Levi, the top-grade spells are actually equivalent to the equipment without level restrictions in an old online game in his previous life, allowing Levi, a level 3 player, to use level 4 equipment in advance.
"That's right. When you wear the glasses in the future, you can also detect the strength of the enemy's spell attacks. This way, the battle will be more data-based and less likely to fail."
It is worth mentioning that the Eye of Castro can only test spells below the high level. So far, it has not been able to measure high-level spells, great spells, and legendary spells.
After reaching a high level, the strength of the spell will undergo a huge change compared to before, which is beyond the measurement range of instruments.
Levi tested his other three-ring spells again. The attack strength of the maximum level eight Ice Sword Finger was 20 cards, which was far less than the Yangyan Explosion.
Thunderbird has 12 cards, reaching the theoretical limit of a 2nd-level spell. Bladestorm has 10 cards, and Glacial Descent has 9 cards.
"By the way, let's see if I can test the strength of my physical attacks."
Levi revealed his normal form as a fire dragon, charged up his strength and threw a punch, boom, accompanied by a pouring of energy.
There was nothing in front of me, and the numbers started to soar.
Eventually, the intensity factor stopped at around 30 calories.
"In the normal Fire Dragon's true form, a normal punch can actually produce 30 calories of power... If it is a [serious punch] like the Angry Dragon Venerable and the Dragon Warrior, it would probably be more than 100."
Levi tried the destructive sword energy again. A gray-white airflow emerged from the sword and then shot out with a bang, piercing through gold and splitting rocks!
[Attack strength coefficient: 39 cards]
"It has actually reached the three-ring limit. If it has the form blessing, it will probably be over a hundred cards."
Seeing this, Levi felt that he was fine again. You know, the theoretical upper limit of the fourth ring's attack strength is only 200 cards.
After testing his combat power, Levi immediately returned to Pluto City.
We are going to explore the secret realm in a few days, so we need to make some preparations.
