Chapter 127 Norman Secret Realm
Because at any time, first-hand information can be quickly obtained from the market.
Instead of entering a formal store, Richard chose to find a stall belonging to a bored second-level wizard apprentice at a stall along the street.
I saw a few big words written on the stall, purchasing various herbal medicines!
The second-level wizard apprentice is neither too high nor too low. He will not have too vicious a vision to see through Richard's lies and insinuations, nor will his strength be too low to be well-informed.
By selling a small amount of precious herbs from the Dark Territory, Richard soon found out about the recent major events.
The most important thing is that two months ago, when the three major necromancer academies were at war with the five major matriarch families in the Underdark Region, they discovered a secret small secret realm on the other side.
The secret realm here is called the Norman Secret Realm, and it is mainly filled with rare herbs grown by the night elves that are special to the Underdark.
In particular, there is a kind of cemetery moss, which is the main raw material of limit-breaking potion. Limit-breaking potion, as the name suggests, is a potion used by third-level wizard apprentices to reach the official wizard level.
It is said that without taking the limit-breaking potion, a third-level wizard apprentice will be reckless, and the probability of being promoted to a formal wizard is less than 1%.
After taking the limit-breaking potion, there is at least a 30% chance of being promoted successfully.
However, the raw materials for the limit-breaking potion are all extremely rare, the refining process is complicated, and the formula is a top secret and is kept secret. They are all in the hands of powerful forces, which shows how precious they are.
Many third-level wizard apprentices, in order to obtain a bottle of limit-breaking potion, often sign long-term unequal treaties with major colleges or large wizard families, in exchange for an opportunity to take it and break the bottleneck.
If the academy can provide a bottle as a reward for an important mission, the third-level wizard apprentices will often fight to the death, even if there are other harsh terms.
Cemetery moss is an herb that is extremely rare on the surface and only grows near a large number of graves, so it is named cemetery moss.
Since cemetery moss and other rare herbs have important strategic value, another point is that when the Norman Secret Realm was first set up, only energy fluctuations below the level of formal wizards could enter.
Therefore, after the three major necromancers' academies raided and captured an entrance to the Norman secret realm, they once again jointly issued a wartime mission with various rare rewards to encourage the third-level and second-level wizard apprentices of the academies to enter the secret realm to collect herbs. .
However, because the other entrance was tightly guarded by the night elves, there were many elites from the other party in the Norman secret realm. Collecting herbs there was quite risky, and wizard apprentices were killed almost every day.
Another point is that the wizard apprentices who are transported into the Norman secret realm from the entrance will be automatically dispersed by the power of the secret realm, so there is little significance in forming a team. This greatly increases the risk of entering the secret realm to collect herbs.
But this made Richard's eyes light up, and he thought to himself, "Is it possible that each of the three major necromancers' academies would come up with an advanced meditation method as one of the exchange items?" So, with doubts, Richard thought
, I changed to another stall, selling an herbal medicine, and asked about it.
But when Richard asked what kind of reward items there were, his interest suddenly waned.
This time, in addition to the crimson shock mixture that impressed Richard deeply last time, three limit-breaking potions were also provided. It seems that the three major colleges have also spent a lot of money this time. Of course, the limit-breaking potions also come with additional clauses.
In addition, there are many other rare potions, top-level witchcraft props, etc., but there is no complete advanced meditation method.
At this time, Richard moved to another stall. The stall owner was a second-level wizard apprentice from North Ring and asked about the situation of the clearing mission half a year ago.
"Are you talking about the cleanup mission that took place half a year ago?" The second-level wizard apprentice opposite who was purchasing raw materials looked at the bone stick on Richard's chest with suspicion and said, "You don't care about such a sensational thing? Don’t know? But you don’t look like a new student?”
Richard was stunned and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, the annual enrollment season of the Ignis School should have begun, and now hundreds of new students have enrolled. .
Indeed, his appearance and the things he sells clearly show that he is not a new student.
"Haha, my mentor arranged an errand mission before. It was about the mentor's family, you know! I happened to miss the clearing mission." Richard laughed, with a slight regret on his face.
"Hehe, then you are really unlucky. Basically, as long as the students who participated in the clean-up mission survived, they all gained a lot and improved a lot. I also relied on that opportunity to become a member of the army in just three months. He was promoted to the second-level wizard apprentice."
The second-level wizard apprentice from the Ring of North puffed up his chest slightly proudly, showed off the two plague bug patterns on his chest, and then looked at Richard's chest. , said quite sympathetically.
He has also encountered situations where his mentor assigned him a task. He couldn't refuse it at all, so he could only bite the bullet and get it done.
To put it simply, even if you have difficulties, you have to find a way to solve them yourself. Otherwise, the instructor will definitely not give you good fruits. At least this is the case in the Ring of North. Now it seems that the Ignis School is also roughly the same. almost.
However, this also shows that the first-level wizard apprentice of the Ignis School in front of him is not valued by his mentor. If he was valued, his mentor would not send him out at all, thus wasting such a rare opportunity.
After a "heart-to-heart" conversation, Richard sold another herb. Suddenly, the two of them chatted passionately. Under Richard's deliberate compliments, the second-level wizard apprentice stall owner poured all the herbs he had into his hands like beans from a bamboo tube. I knew everything and told Richard everything.
This made Richard understand that the last dark fishman incident was also quite big.
It is said that the three disciples of the Necromancer Academy who were present at the time suffered heavy casualties, and the Ignis School suffered the most serious losses. It seemed that a certain potential rising star was dead among them. Before the formal wizards arrived, the support teams of third-level wizard apprentices from the three major necromancers' colleges were also defeated. In the end, it was a second-level wizard apprentice from Gurus Academy who took out a low-level wizard weapon. Only then could he resist the arrival of the official wizard.
"Potential new star, could it be that third-level wizard apprentice I met? The other party is very strong and deserves the title of potential new star!" Richard thought to himself.
After basically understanding the situation, Richard decided to return to the dormitory first, put down his things, and then visit Tutor Seles.
Arriving at the door of No. 861 with familiarity, Richard took out the key, opened the room and walked in, but the next second, he was stunned.
Richard took a closer look and saw a rather innocent-looking girl in the room, also looking at him dumbfounded.
Suddenly, Richard felt numb!
The two looked at each other for a while, and then Richard hurriedly said, "Sorry, we went to the wrong room!"
"Bang!" Richard immediately closed the door and left.
The girl was stunned for a moment and muttered to herself: "You went to the wrong room. I locked the door. I just heard the sound of someone's key opening the door. You came in after that. Can you have the key to the wrong room?"
" Is the security of the dormitory of the Ignis School already so bad?"
The girl was puzzled!
Richard was outside the door and carefully looked at the three numbers on the house number 861. He didn't realize for a long time that this was his room.
Could it be that the school thought that I had been killed in the last clearing mission? No way! This is too lax.
Aren't you supposed to live and die and see their corpses?
That's right, in this world, there are too many ways to prevent you from seeing the corpse even after you die. At that
moment, Richard thought of what the second-level wizard apprentice of the Ring of North said, that the Ignis School has lost its potential. These words from Rising Star!
"Could it be that I was the potential new star of the Ignis School that that guy said died?" Richard was a little dazed for a moment.
But that's not important. The problem right now is that I don't have anywhere to stay.
Go directly to the school to report and tell them I'm not dead?
Richard thought for a moment and shook his head. It was inappropriate. He had to at least visit Tutor Seles first.
However, before formally visiting his mentor, Richard thought of one more thing.
So, I went to the trading area and sold a rare herb special to the Dark Region, and went to find out more about it.
After a while, Richard asked clearly about the situation:
the fastest time for the Ignis school from enrollment to promotion to a third-level wizard apprentice is about two years and three months.
The fastest recorded time in the North Ring is two years.
It is said that the highest record of Gurus Academy is one year and seven months.
But it has only been one year since I enrolled in school!
Moreover, I am not just entering the third-level wizard apprenticeship stage, but I am already close to the peak of the third-level wizard apprenticeship. This is a bit exaggerated!
"Ha! I didn't expect that one day, I would be the one who is so terrifying." Richard shook his head and sighed.
Fortunately, my Rodrigo Meditation Method also has a breath-condensing special effect when it is raised to its limit.
Generally speaking, it means that you can consciously control your breath and show the strength you want others to see. For example, just now, Richard showed the breath of a first-level wizard apprentice.
Of course, holding one's breath does not allow Richard to show the strength of a formal wizard, so it is not called holding one's breath.
To hold back is to avoid letting others detect your strength and act weak!
Because the higher the mental power, the stronger the aura emitted, or to be precise, a certain force field, and the perception of a wizard or a wizard apprentice is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Therefore, although other wizard apprentices may not be able to specifically perceive how strong Richard is, it is still very easy to tell roughly which stage Richard is at, such as whether he is a second-level or third-level wizard apprentice.
It is conceivable that the perception ability of a formal wizard must far exceed that of a wizard apprentice and is extremely sharp.
Therefore, even with the special breath-containing effect of Rodrigo's meditation method, to be honest, Richard himself was not sure whether he could hide it from his mentor.
