Chapter 264 Reward for First Place
"Potion plays an extremely important role in your promotion to a wizard." Gauss looked at Li He and explained, "In a sense, it can even be said that if there is no potion, even a No matter how powerful the apprentice is, he cannot be promoted to an official wizard."
"In this case, who invented the original potion, teacher? Is it a wizard apprentice?" Li He asked.
Gauss's expression paused slightly and he shook his head: "That's naturally impossible. The person who invented the potion was a wizard, an extremely powerful wizard." "
Then you said that without the potion, you can't be promoted to an official wizard..." "
This sounds a bit strange. It’s complicated, and it involves some historical secrets of the wizarding world that were sealed in the past...A long time ago, wizards could indeed be promoted without relying on potions, but it was more difficult and uncertain than it is now...Some complicated things happened later, It prompted the wizards to make changes and invented things like promotion potions to help apprentices be promoted to wizards..."
After a pause, Gauss exhaled and said: "I know you want to know some secrets of the past, but...I still That sentence, there are some secrets that you need to wait until you are promoted to an official wizard to be qualified to understand, otherwise there will be no benefit at all. Do you know why this world is called the wizard world? Because the wizard is the protagonist of this world, not the wizard apprentice. So
, Control your curiosity a little and wait until you are successfully promoted to wizard. But now, we are still talking about potions." "
Okay." Li He nodded and stopped asking, but deep down he was interested in the whole world. There are more speculations... According to the information revealed in Gauss's words, it feels like the entire wizarding world is more complicated than imagined, at least it is not a calm and stable existence.
And if you want to know more about the truth of this world, you must be promoted to a wizard as soon as possible.
Gauss returned to the original topic: "Potions are very important. Without potions, even if you continue to improve your spiritual power, you can only increase the numerical value, but cannot complete the transformation from a wizard apprentice to a wizard. Remember, a wizard
apprentice Being promoted to a wizard is completely different from being promoted from a first-level wizard apprentice to a second-level wizard apprentice, or being promoted to a third-level wizard apprentice. It is a kind of physical sublimation and a leap in life level. After becoming a wizard, in a sense , you are a different species from ordinary people and wizard apprentices, and your perspective on the world will change accordingly. In the wizard
world, in the wizard world, only when you become a wizard can you truly integrate into this world and be able to come into contact with it. The origin.
Under this premise, making potions is very difficult. Not only does it require many precious magic raw materials, but there is also a very high failure rate in the production process. And most importantly, because everyone's physique is different, potions Failure to achieve a perfect fit will hinder your promotion
to a wizard. Therefore, if you want to be promoted to an official wizard, while raising your mental power to fifty points, you must work hard to make a promotion potion that perfectly suits you. ."
"In this process, the college will provide help, right?" Li He asked.
"Of course." Gauss nodded. "Otherwise, why would so many students join the academy just to get help from the academy when they are promoted to wizards. But..." Gauss's tone changed slightly and became a little heavier
: "However, no matter how powerful a wizard academy is, resources are always in short supply, and because everyone's body is different, it is impossible for the academy to prepare a completely suitable potion for everyone. Therefore, in terms of potions, the academy can only It will help you partially, and the rest requires your own efforts.
Specifically, the academy will give you two options. One option is that you can get a potion formula that suits you, and then you need to collect it through your own efforts. Various spell raw materials are used to prepare potions, and then the process is continuously adjusted according to one's own situation, and finally a perfect fit is achieved.
Another option is that the academy will directly provide you with a bottle of promotion potion in its initial state, and then you need to work hard on your own. Make subtle adjustments to the potion to achieve a perfect fit.
Comparing the two options, the first option is more difficult and requires making it from scratch, but it can be tried many times and the range of adjustments is also greater. The second option is a little less difficult. The initial potion has reached the lower limit, but it is more difficult to achieve a perfect fit. You need to decide for yourself how to choose." After listening to this, Li He suddenly remembered that before the annual test
, Gauss called a gathering of all students and once asked Hegway which one to choose, a prescription or a potion. It seemed that the other party was hesitant about the two options.
"There is another important point, I want to tell you." Gauss said, "The academy will provide you with prescriptions or potions, but because the knowledge and resources required to become a wizard are extremely precious, the things provided are not free. Regardless of whether you choose a prescription or a potion, you must help the college complete a resource guarding task. In a sense, it is a transaction. This is a rule established from the beginning of the establishment of the college. No one can be exempted." "Resource guarding task?
This What is it? Similar to the tasks in the task hall?" Li He asked.
"Yes, but not necessarily." Gauss said, "The main purpose of the resource guarding mission is to ensure that the academy can continue to obtain precious magic raw materials. After coming to the academy for a year, you should know that the location of the academy is not randomly selected. , are generally relatively close to large resource points, and resources can be obtained nearby. However, in addition to large-scale resource points, there are also small-scale resource points. In fact, the number of small-scale resource points is dozens of times that of large-scale resource points. A hundred times. Such resource points are extremely scattered. Some are in the desert, some are on islands in the sea, and some are in a grassland deep in the Wizarding Continent. Such resource points, one or two, are inconspicuous, but they
are It is also one of the important sources of magic raw materials for the academy, and must be maintained well. However, because many resource points are far away from the station and outside the sphere of influence of many wizard organizations, it is necessary to send qualified personnel to guard them to ensure that the magic raw materials are not available. It will be damaged and provide a stable supply to the college. And such a task is a resource protection task."
"Is that so..." Li He understood. To put it simply, the so-called resource guarding task is a long-distance guarding task.
"So how long is the mission, teacher? You can't always stay at a remote resource point in order to obtain prescriptions or upgrade potions, right?" "That's not true. In fact,
this time is also related to your efforts. As long as you If you are able to configure and improve good potions and are successfully promoted to an official wizard, you will stop the mission and be transferred back to the academy. After all, the official wizard is an extremely precious human resource and has a more important purpose in the academy. It is huge to send it out to guard resource points. What a waste."
"What if the promotion to an official wizard fails?" Li He asked.
Gauss took a deep look at Li He: "I don't think you will fail, but... there are examples you mentioned. In fact, there are many. After all, even if there is a potion to promote the wizard, the overall chance is not high. According to our secret According to the rules of the Heart Academy, if you fail to be promoted to a wizard, it means you have insufficient ability, and you need to guard the resource point for five years to repay the investment of the academy. After that, you can choose to return to the academy and find a way to obtain the prescription or potion for the second promotion to the wizard, or you can I will continue to live in the academy as a third-level wizard apprentice."
Li He nodded, understanding, and asked: "Then if I want to perform the task of resource protection, is there any place I can choose?"
After hearing this, Gauss was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "Of course there are choices, and there are many choices. Currently, our college has many resource points. Although we have mastered them, they are only guarded by some warriors or low-level apprentices, and there is a lack of powerful apprentices. Sit down. But... I don't think you need to be in a hurry. You should think about it carefully and make a decision whether to choose a prescription or a potion, and then see where you can go to perform resource protection tasks." "Also." Gauss said in a tone of voice. , "Before that, don't forget another important thing."
"Huh?"
"Reward." Gauss smiled slightly, "The reward for first place in the annual test has not been given to you yet. As a The first place in the annual test, and the points are far more than before, the reward is not only an opportunity to use the disciple's mouth, but also many extra things." After hearing this, Li He felt a little in his heart and asked: "
Then I What reward can you get, teacher?"
"Haha, it depends on what you want." Gauss smiled, took out a scroll from his arms, spread it out on the table, and showed it to Li He.
Li He walked forward, took a look, and saw the names one by one, followed by numbers, either one crystal, two crystals, five crystals, six crystals... Gauss explained: "On this
list They are all kinds of precious magic items, spell raw materials, and books and materials in the academy's resource library. Of course, not all of them are currently open to you. The points you gain in the annual test will be converted into crystal units for you. , which is about one thousand points per crystal. It has no specific meaning, just to make it simple and clear. Currently, you have about 39 crystals, which can be regarded as 40 crystals, so you can exchange for things on this list that add up to no more than 40 crystals. ."
Is that so... Li He nodded lightly and accepted it easily. Speaking of which, when the Videro family funded him, they also used the same method to let him choose a certain number of books.
He calmed down, looked at the entries on the scroll, and started browsing carefully.
There are many entries on the scroll. At first glance, there are nearly a hundred entries. In addition to a large number of precious demonized items, there are also many rare spell raw materials, spell improvement models, and even rare magic pet cubs.
Li He browsed one by one and slowed down slightly on several items.
One opportunity to use the Apprentice's Mouth (can only be redeemed once): 10 crystals.
Needless to say, this must be redeemed, which is exactly the purpose of participating in the annual test. He needs to complete the Orm Notes meditation method from the mouth of his apprentice, so that he can be quickly promoted to a wizard without any worries, without leaving any hidden dangers in his spiritual power.
Furious Staff: 30 crystals.
A powerful staff crafted by the famous sorcerer Marascu, inscribed with numerous amplifying spell matrices. When you hold this staff to cast spells, the power of apprentice-level spells can be increased by more than 50%, and the power of wizard-level spells can be increased by more than 20%. In addition, casting spells through this staff can effectively reduce spell energy consumption, increase spell release distance, and improve spell release accuracy. In addition, the staff will continue to absorb free spell energy in the environment and charge the internal energy storage spell matrix. After charging is completed, all the energy can be released at once, and its power can pose a serious threat to a first-level wizard.
Seeing this violent staff, Li He's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, and he felt a little emotional. As a magical item, it was a bit exaggeratedly powerful. Such a staff can greatly enhance the strength of a formal wizard, let alone a wizard apprentice. However, the price of 30 crystals is also a bit scary.
He even doubted whether Gauss had set the price like this on purpose, just to let him choose this violent staff so that he could spend all his "crystals".
Controlling his gaze away from the entry of "Violent Staff" and continuing to look down, Li He's eyelids twitched again.
Blood Red Armor: 40 crystals.
A powerful combat auxiliary magic item made by multiple wizards. It exists in a mercury-like liquid in non-combat state. Before use, it needs to be cut into the body muscles and implanted into the body. After entering the combat state, the armor will quickly take shape through the skin. It has extremely high hardness and toughness, can greatly increase the user's speed and strength, can provide good defense against energy spells, and greatly weaken the intensity of energy bursts. , can provide good shielding against curses. Twelve sets of spell matrices are engraved inside, which can provide a variety of functional assistance, and because of the particularity of the material, it can be repaired by charging after being damaged. If charged in advance, the armor can operate independently from the user...
The blood-red armor... Li He looked at the detailed explanation and felt a little enthusiastic. The powerful effect of the armor made him really want to give up the opportunity to become a disciple. Take the opportunity to use it and use all 40 crystals to exchange for this blood-red armor.
Looking at the explanation of the blood-red armor, he couldn't help but think of the Death Armor he got after eliminating the first competitor he met in the annual test.
The so-called Death Armor should have similar functional positioning to the Blood Red Armor, but the Blood Red Armor can almost be regarded as the top level of the Death Armor.
Having said that, although the blood red armor is excellent, it does not necessarily have to be redeemed at all costs this time.
After all, Gauss also said that these are all things in the college's resource library, and there will be opportunities to redeem them in the future, or even exchange them for better ones.
The most important thing for him now is to be promoted to wizard.
In addition to this, instead of exchanging one item that can instantly improve your strength, it is better to exchange for multiple items with more useful research value, and the overall value will be higher.
Thinking like this, he looked at more entries...
