Chapter 1 Crisis Three Months Later
The setting sun was like blood, and a pale tower made of bones stood like a giant on the coast.
The dim yellow sunlight shines through the wooden blinds into the classroom in the distance of the tower. The particles of dust floating in the air are clearly visible under the sunlight.
This is the Nine-ring White Tower Wizard Academy located on the Star Tree Islands.
In the classroom on the ground floor of the stone building, there were more than fifty young men and women wearing gray stone or hematite badges.
An old wizard with a haggard face and a golden badge on his chest stood on the high platform in front of the classroom.
Wizard apprentices are divided into five levels, distinguished by badges made of gold, silver, copper, iron and stone. The old wizard on the stage is a fifth-level wizard apprentice.
At this time, the old wizard said calmly:
"In the eyes of official wizards, our Star Tree Islands are just a frontier land with poor resources. Official wizards don't even bother to come here to teach you low-level apprentices." Although
. The volume was low, but it reverberated incredibly throughout the classroom, allowing all apprentices to hear it clearly.
After the old wizard finished speaking, he cleared his throat:
"You have been studying here for two and a half years. You also know that this is not the real Nine-ring White Pagoda. It is just a branch responsible for accepting people with qualifications from nearby islands, right?" Most people in the audience expressed doubts
. The few well-informed apprentices nodded.
The fifth-level old wizard on the stage did not explain patiently.
"Do you know about the apprenticeship exam in three months? Do you know why second-class apprentices are required to pass the exam?"
Without waiting for the apprentices' answers, the old wizard said bluntly:
"That's because - you can only be promoted to second-class within three years. In the future, Only apprentices with the potential to become official wizards are qualified to go to the real Nine-ring White Pagoda on the mainland for further study!"
Seeing the apprentices in the audience all showing puzzled looks, they seemed to have no idea about the term "real Nine-ring White Pagoda". No concept.
The old wizard, a fifth-level apprentice, couldn't help but sneer, and as if he was remembering something, there was a look of regret in the corners of his eyes.
"I advise you, if you want to survive, you must pass this exam. The academy does not breed waste. Apprentices who fail the exam will become slaves of the academy. This means..." The white-haired old wizard glanced at the elapsed time
. Hourglass, without saying anything more, showed a half-smile to the first-class apprentices present.
"Class is over!"
Without any delay, the old wizard strode out of the classroom.
After hearing the old wizard's last warning, a panic spread among the apprentices.
After all, there is no such thing as human rights in this world.
Becoming a slave to a wizarding academy, especially this dark wizarding academy, means that one cannot control one's life or death, and may be turned into experiment material for wizards at any time. Even death is a luxury.
After a while, all the apprentices started talking about what they had just said.
"The apprenticeship exam. There was a fifth-class apprentice in my ancestors. Unfortunately, he was one of the wizards in charge of this exam..."
A blond boy with a second-class hematite badge on his chest stood up and touched his head. In response to everyone's panic, they began to brag.
Many first-class apprentices wearing gray stone badges seemed to have grasped at straws and surrounded the blond boy to praise him, trying to get him to help him.
The second-class blond boy did not continue speaking, but rubbed his fingers at the people surrounding him.
Some of the apprentices who had no hope of advancement gritted their teeth, took out the witch crystals from their pockets, and gave them to the blond boy.
Many apprentices who were still sitting in their seats sneered at this, knowing that the second-class blond apprentices were just taking the opportunity to squeeze out the money of these first-class apprentices, so they got up and left the classroom.
Also standing up was Yi Hua, who was sitting in the corner, touching the smooth, black and slightly gray hair on his head.
Still feeling a little groggy, he walked out of the classroom and stretched.
A gust of sea breeze lifted Yihua's originally groggy spirit.
His current name is Ivar Felsis, and this is his first day of time travel.
From disbelief at the beginning to gradually accepting reality.
There is no system for time travellers, and there is no standard chip for wizards. In this wizarding world full of weirdness and curses, you can only rely on yourself for everything.
The original owner studied for two and a half years, and now that he is 17 years old, he is only a first-class apprentice.
If this continues, there will be no chance of the original student passing the exam three months later.
So he took risks and tried to find a shortcut, but unexpectedly died suddenly, allowing Yihua to take advantage of the loophole.
The weird thing is.
The memory Yi Hua inherited strangely lacked the content of the few days before the time travel.
Therefore, he did not know the cause of death of the original owner.
After Yihua walked out of the classroom, he didn't even take a few steps when he ran into a gray-haired boy wearing a hematite badge.
The young man seemed to know Yi Hua. He had a slightly disgusted look on his face and said coldly:
"Brother, the instructor asked me to call you and come with me." The
gray-haired young man in front of him is the younger brother of the original owner of the body - Lei. , and he took a boat from the original island to the Green Tower Wizarding Academy.
On the way, he was kidnapped by a dark wizard and transferred to this dark wizard academy.
Unlike the original owner, whose qualifications were at the bottom and only had first-class qualifications, Rey soared into the sky after being identified as having fourth-class wizard qualifications.
Now he has reached the second level required by the exam, and is only one step away from being a third-level apprentice.
Wizard qualifications and apprenticeship levels are generally divided into five levels. The lowest first-level qualification has a minimum affinity of only 5% for energy particles.
The only two things that the original owner was compatible with were life and death.
Compared with the fourth-level affinity of at least 40%, there is a full eight times difference between the lowest and the lowest, both in terms of meditation efficiency and the intensity of the witchcraft released.
One day of meditation for Rey is equivalent to ten or even nine days of meditation for Yihua.
I'm afraid that in the eyes of the other party, the two of them are no longer in the same world.
"Lead the way."
Yihua responded dully according to the way he spoke in memory.
Rey didn't notice anything strange and walked straight towards the white stone tower in the center of the academy.
Logically speaking, an apprentice with the lowest qualifications like the original owner would not be favored by his mentor, but the original owner was an exception.
Because the original owner's mentor was an ancestor who came out of the family a hundred years ago and was related to the original owner.
If he hadn't been kidnapped to this wizard academy, the original owner would not have known that the long-declined Fersis family had produced such a high-level wizard a hundred years ago, which was considered a blessing in disguise.
The entire journey was speechless.
A quarter of an hour later, the two entered the wizard's tower that stood hundreds of meters high in the center of the academy.
The two walked to a laboratory on the middle floor of the tower, and Rey stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Is it Rey? Come in."
A rather mature young male voice immediately sounded.
The room is filled with various precision instruments. A handsome young man wearing a monocle and a gold badge on his chest is in front of the operating table, dissecting an extremely twisted flesh covered with tentacles and herpes.
From her appearance, she could only barely tell that she was originally a girl.
Although the girl was naked, her current appearance could not arouse the slightest desire in anyone, only make her feel disgusted.
Rey stepped forward and saluted, then stepped aside.
Although Yihua had the memory of the original owner, he still felt a little numb after seeing the bloody scenes and the pungent smell coming from the room.
Yihua endured the discomfort, stepped forward and said,
"Teacher Simon, what do you want from me?"
The young man did not respond immediately, his face was gloomy and he muttered something from time to time.
"Failed again... What went wrong..."
After a while, the young man sighed, put down the scalpel in his hand, rubbed his forehead and said:
"Now there are only three months until the apprenticeship exam. This time The exam determines your future destiny. I have prepared a gift for you. I hope you can make good use of it."
After saying that, Tutor Simon hooked his fingers, and a delicate wooden box flew out of the drawer and fell into Rey's hands. .
"These are... golden leaves?!"
Rey opened the bag and looked horrified when he saw the golden leaves inside.
"Yes, this is a rare material that can increase the probability of being promoted to a second-class apprentice. A piece of it is worth dozens of witch crystals, and it is priceless. I hope you can make the most of it." "Thank you, mentor, for your cultivation. Rey will never forget it!
" "
Rei looked surprised, quickly accepted the wooden box, and gave a big gift to his mentor. Mentor Simon nodded slightly.
Yihua looked a little greedy, looking forward to what his mentor would give him.
"As for you..."
Instructor Simon paused for a moment, with a look of fanaticism on his face. The green pupils like poisonous snakes under the monocle stared at Yihua, and said seductively in a seductive tone: "Do you want to help me do this
? A small experiment? If the experiment succeeds, you may be directly promoted to a second-class apprentice."
What if the experiment fails?
Seeing the twisted corpse emitting a stench on the operating table, Yihua thought it would be better not to consider this proposal.
"Teacher Simon, I hope to be promoted to the second level with my own strength."
Teacher Simon seemed to have no hope for this.
"Forget it, I'll look for where to put the things for you."
Instructor Simon didn't seem to have prepared a gift for Yi Hua in advance. He rummaged around the house and finally floated out a dusty ball from the corner. purse.
Yihua opened the bag and took a look. Inside were five magnificent blue crystals the size of eggs.
"I'll give you these five witch crystals. With your qualifications, don't expect to be promoted to the second class within three months. It's better to accumulate them early. If you can survive, you may be able to redeem them in the hands of the academy in a few decades." Free."
"Yes, thank you for your concern, mentor. Disciple knows."
After accepting Wu Jing, Yi Hua clenched his fists, feeling a little disappointed in his heart, but said respectfully on the surface.
The market price is at least dozens of witch crystals, and the value of the golden leaves, which are valuable but not available, is more than ten times worse than the five witch crystals!
What he most urgently needs now is resources like golden leaves that can assist in promotion to second-class apprentices. These five witch crystals are useless to him now and have no effect at all in accelerating his promotion.
Moreover, does he really have the luck to survive for decades after becoming a slave in the academy until he is freed?
You know, most apprentices who become slaves in the academy do not even survive a week.
"Well, if you have nothing else to do, just go back and seize the time to meditate."
After the instructor gave the order to expel the guests, the two left the tower.
After walking out of the tower, Yihua sighed.
With the memory of the original owner, he had already expected this.
The talents of myself and Rey are very different. As rational beings, it is reasonable for wizards to treat them differently.
But this didn't mean that he could look at all this calmly, and it also made his desire to be promoted to a second-class apprentice even more urgent.
Lei Yi looked at the money bag in Yihua's hand with disgust in his eyes.
"Brother, you went to the Black Bone Forest a few days ago, right? It is said that there is a secret treasure there to improve qualifications, but that is just an unrealistic legend." Hearing
this sentence, Yihua, who had no relevant memory, was shocked. ,no respond.
Seeing that Yihua did not deny it, Lei frowned and then said:
"I know you want to be promoted to the second class and return to your hometown as soon as possible. After all, you will become a slave of the academy. Even if you survive, you will never have the chance to leave the academy, but for For the sake of your life, it’s better to give up.”
After that, Rey patted Yihua on the shoulder and left directly.
Yihua thought again and again but did not step forward to stop him.
The cause of death of the original owner...
Now he finally learned from Rey that he went to the Black Bone Forest -
a dangerous place located outside the academy and said to have the inheritance of ancient wizards.
As early as when he first traveled through time, he had already checked his body and found no injuries.
If so, how did he die?
Yihua's face looked a little ugly.
This world is different from Earth. Strange supernatural phenomena and horrific curses are common here.
There are quite a few wizard apprentices who disappear every year in the academy, and it is said that there are even fifth-level tutors.
Is it a curse, or is it something strange from legend?
The original owner went to Black Bone Forest, why did he die in the academy?
I have inherited the body of the original owner, will danger find me?
Without any clue, he became more and more frightened as he thought about it, so he hurried back to his residence.
It was a low gray stone house built on the edge of the college.
As the lowest first-class apprentice in the academy, he was assigned the worst accommodation.
A bed, a desk, a chair, a five-square-meter bathroom, and the entire stone house does not exceed twenty square meters.
Although the stone house is simple, it is still clean and tidy.
Back at his residence, Yihua lit the kerosene lamp on the table, hid Wu Jing in his arms in the mezzanine under the floor, then took off his clothes and checked his body.
There are no strange marks on my body, okay.
No extra or missing limbs or organs, good.
The mental state is not abnormal, good.
After the inspection was completed, Yihua breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe it was not as urgent as he thought.
Just in case, it's best to stay in the Wizarding Academy during this period and never go out unless necessary.
The top priority is to improve one's strength as soon as possible. Without strength, even self-protection is a luxury, let alone the exam in three months.
Thinking of this, Yihua took out a thick book with a black cover from the desk drawer.
Yihua couldn't help but feel a headache after seeing this book.
The original owner obviously had extremely poor qualifications, but because he was most closely related to the power of death, Tou Tie chose to become the apprentice of the Necromancer with the "most potential".
Necromancers have the ability to go to the world of death to enslave a large number of undead, and to merge with the undead, inherit their abilities, and transform themselves into undead.
Relying on the backing of a world, the potential of the Necromancer is indeed much greater than that of ordinary wizards, but the difficulty of promotion is also many times more difficult than that of other wizards.
After all, necromancers, who are known for enslaving large numbers of undead, have extremely high mental requirements.
Yi Hua picked up the Introduction to Necromancy and flipped through it casually, trying to find the knowledge that could be used at the moment. Unexpectedly, a letter fell out.
"Huh? Where did the letter come from?"
Yihua looked through the memory of the original owner and did not find the existence of this letter.
When he noticed something strange, he picked up the letter on the ground, blew away the dust, opened it and read it.
"I am Eva Fersis. When you read this letter, it means that I am dead..." -
PS

To continue reading, I just need to turn to the latest chapter every day. Please help me with this little favor. Your simple words can make me happy all day long.
I would like to thank all parents for their kindness!
