Chapter 73 021: You have actually been promoted to advanced apprentice, right?
After another 30 days of time, the spell level of the Ice Sword was successfully upgraded to the mastery level.
Luo Xi still did not stop, ready to strive for perfection in one go.
[You begin to train the spell "Ice Great Sword", studying and practicing diligently day and night.]
[Ten days have passed. Due to your lack of basic knowledge of ice elements, your training has not been effective.]
Basic knowledge is not enough. After all, a wizard's spells are the concrete product of the wizard's knowledge. As the level of the spell increases, the amount of knowledge the wizard needs to accumulate will inevitably increase.
Luo Xi's ability to upgrade advanced apprentice-level spells to the mastery level has far surpassed apprentices of the same level, but he still has some distance to go in terms of the knowledge required to upgrade spells to the perfect level.
“It seems I need to find a few more books to read.”
Shaking his head, Luo Xi could only put down the Ice Greatsword temporarily and focus on improving several other high-level apprentice-level spells.
First, it took more than 60 days to upgrade the ice armor to the proficient level, then it took more than 60 days to upgrade the frost magic to the proficient level, and finally it took more than 80 days to upgrade the blizzard to the proficient level.
Finally, there is a Demonic Concealment spell, which is mainly used to hide one's strength. It is sufficient for now and there is no need to upgrade it for the time being.
After learning the three spells, there were still more than fifty days left. Luo Xi then improved several mid- and low-level apprentice-level spells. Among them, he brought the Wind Blade Spell to the mastery level, and also increased the proficiency of the Large Water Ball Spell.
"Roshi!"
When there were about ten days left, Nicole ran in, grabbed Luo Xi and said, "We're almost at the reef area. There might be mermaids singing tonight. Don't you want to come and see?"
Without waiting for Luo Xi to answer, she ran over and took his hand, saying coquettishly: "Come on, let's go and take a look together."
Let’s stop here for now.
Luo Xi then turned off the system panel and went to the deck with Nicole.
At this time, quite a few people had gathered on the deck, all of them were apprentices recruited this time.
They had just come into contact with the wizarding world and were just like Luo Xi and the others in the past. They found everything new and novel. When they heard about the appearance of the legendary mermaids, they all rushed out of the cabin. At this time, they were scrambling to squeeze beside the boat, grabbing the railings and standing on tiptoe to look into the distance.
It was sunset at this time. The sunset glow passed through the clouds and fell onto the sea, illuminating the sparkling sea surface with golden light, as if the ground was covered with gold coins.
In this ocean of gold coins, there are reddish-brown reefs protruding from the sea surface, appearing abruptly in the center of the sea.
"Look, a mermaid!"
"Wow!"
"Really, it really is a mermaid!"
At this moment, there were "plop, plop" sounds coming from the sea, and strange creatures were seen floating to the surface.
They all have delicate faces and soft long hair, with naked upper bodies and only two small shells on their chests, while their lower bodies are large fish tails, and the layered scales scatter bursts of colorful light under the afterglow.
They climbed up the rocks one after another, opened their seductive red lips and began to sing towards the setting sun.
The melodious music sounded and was carried far away by the sea breeze.
“Wow, that sounds really nice.”
“Is this the mermaid’s song?”
Nicole leaned on the railing and said in awe, "The singing is so beautiful, even more beautiful than the best court musicians I have ever heard."
Luo Xi interrupted: "That's right, otherwise how can we attract sailors to fill our stomachs."
Behind the seemingly beautiful picture is actually blood and killing. The mermaids spread their singing to far places through the sea breeze. Their singing contains a special spiritual force field. If there are human ships around hearing them, they will be attracted to this sea area and run aground on the reefs and sink. The humans on the ships will naturally become food for the mermaids.
Nicole rolled her eyes at Luo Xi and pouted: "It's a shame."
Luo Xi explained nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? Small fish eat shrimps, big fish eat small fish, and more powerful creatures eat big fish. When the big fish dies, everything comes to life, and it feeds countless small fish, forming a complete ecological cycle. Humans are just a part of this cycle. They can eat other animals, and of course there are more powerful animals that eat them."
"Carefully explain the basic rules of the world, time point +3."
Nicole turned her head and looked at Luo Xi without blinking.
Roshi asked, "What's wrong?"
Nicole shook her head: "No, I just think your words are... very wizard-like."
Luo Xi was stunned, and after thinking about it, it seemed to be true.
Have I unknowingly gone so far? Lumping humans together with other species and judging them from the perspective of a higher-dimensional life form, is this a sign of human nature becoming increasingly indifferent? Or is this a process that evolution must accept?
Luo Xi didn't know whether it was good or bad for a moment, he just subconsciously pulled Nicole into his arms, their skin pressed tightly together.
Fortunately, there is still temperature.
"Aha! I didn't expect that Apprentice Luo Xi, despite his young age, knows so much." At this moment, a hearty and slightly exaggerated voice came from behind.
A young man came up from behind. He was about thirty years old, with short, slightly curly brown hair. He was not wearing a cloak, but a vest with a white shirt underneath and a pair of long Martin boots. He was dressed like a gentleman.
Luo Xi and Nicole bowed: "Wizard Karen"
This is the ship's wizard, Karen, who comes from the Sage's Lodge, one of the eight major organizations on the South Coast, and was recently promoted to a wizard.
Wizard Karen nodded, and then pointed out: "That's right, mermaids do use their singing to attract human ships to come for a feast, but it's not just for eating, reproduction is also an important purpose."
There are no males in the mermaid tribe, and there is no reproductive isolation between them and humans. Therefore, when hunting humans, they often keep some strong men to mate with them to help themselves get pregnant, in this way to promote the reproduction of the tribe.
Wizard Karen then said sentimentally like a bard: "That's why there are so many wonderful love stories between humans and mermen in the world. They are not only hunters and prey, but also companions on the journey of life. Don't you think this kind of life is wonderful?"
"I have been to many ruins. One of them is about the ancient ruins of Atlantis. There are many murals between mermaids and humans. You should really see it. It is so exquisite."
"Speaking of which, I also encountered a gargoyle in that ruin. Do you want to know how I defeated it? Aha, don't worry, I will share with you my rich and wonderful adventure story. I was just an apprentice at that time."
This guy is a chatterbox and is very narcissistic. He never stops talking once he starts.
Luo Xi and Nicole quietly pulled each other, with awkward and slightly helpless smiles on their faces.
"Wizard Karen!"
Just at this moment, a voice sounded from behind, interrupting Karen's chatter.
But a young man came over there. It was Joshua, a great genius of the same period as Luo Xi.
Joshua also returned to the wizarding world on the Apprentice like Luo Xi and the others, and he boarded the ship earlier than Luo Xi and the others, but he stayed in the cabin meditating the whole time. This was the first time he had seen this since he boarded the ship.
Oh! Luo Xi never found this great genius so pleasing to the eye.
He pulled Nicole and was ready to run away, but at this moment, Wizard Karen said, "Oh, I almost forgot, your friend heard that you were on the ship, and he came to see you specially."
After that, he leaned over to Luo Xi's ear and whispered, "Your friend is a complete egomaniac."
Luo Xi twitched his lips: You two are almost the same, right? "Then you guys chat first, and I'll tell you my fantasy adventure story later."
After that, Karen left.
After sending the chatterbox away, the great genius walked up to Luo Xi. He still looked superior, but there was a hint of weirdness in his eyes when he glanced at Luo Xi.
Nicole frowned and said unhappily, "What are you looking at?"
She didn't like this Joshua.
Joshua ignored Nicole and kept his eyes on Luo Xi for two seconds before suddenly asking straight to the point, "You have actually been promoted to a senior apprentice, right?"
