Wizard: Max level talent, starting from zero-ring trick.

Chapter 36 Huge Gains, Departmental Allocation

Open the bag.

First, there's the magic stone.

There are really not many magic stones, only twenty.

After all, he had invested a full one hundred magic stones in Harman.

It was obviously all used to treat injuries.

"But it's fortunate that I was injured, otherwise, if I were in good condition, they probably would have noticed my mental energy gathering at that time."

Ian felt a surge of relief.

In addition, there were three spells in the bag, all of which were low-level spells at the zero-ring level.

All three of these witchcraft techniques are of excellent quality.

Layton Hines also left a note.

It turns out that there was originally a zero-ring intermediate witchcraft in the bag, at an excellent level, which was the Blood Hand from before, suitable for second-level wizard apprentices.

However, since it belonged to black magic and he was only a second-class wizard apprentice with intermediate-level magic, he was replaced with three magics that he could use.

"Black magic?"

Ian recalled the scene from that day; the blood-red hand, with its distinct stench of blood, did indeed resemble black magic.

So-called black magic is generally practiced only by black wizards, and the basic process is cruel and violent, so it is forbidden by white wizards.

That's the case at least in Emerald Forest, but it's unclear where Ross obtained it from.

"Acid Splash, Wind Shield, Vines Entangling."

Ian's eyes lit up when he saw the three new witchcraft spells he was given.

The acid splash was the first kind of witchcraft he had ever seen; it could condense a ball of corrosive liquid with great power.

The Wind Shield technique involves condensing a layer of wind on the body's surface to block enemy attacks.

Entangling Vines requires the use of enchanted seeds, which can then entangle enemies; it is a control-type sorcery.

They are all of excellent quality, and under normal circumstances, they can be sold for a full forty-five magic stones at the academy.

There is still a limit to the number of slots available.

After all, joining the Potions Department normally only allows you to purchase three excellent-level spells.

Layton is actually quite a nice guy.

This also shows that this is indeed not a small matter.

In addition, there are the basic materials for these spells, including the sap of the acid vine that splashes acid, the leaves of the wind-feather grass for wind escape spells, and some enchanted seeds.

It's different from the magic Ian remembered from his previous life.

In this world, apart from some things like mental attacks, many forms of witchcraft require materials to practice.

For example, when using acid splashing, some sap from the sorrel vine is needed as a catalyst.

The same applies to Wind Shield.

As for vine control, needless to say, how could a low-level wizard possibly create growing vines out of thin air?

The Wind Blade spell that Ian learned previously seemed to require no casting materials.

This is because the Wind Blade spell was originally imprinted on Mickey's feathers, and the feathers were the casting material.

Ian also doesn't need any materials after the runes are branded.

Of these three spells, the first two might be achievable, but even master-level vine control cannot be done without seeds.

"Therefore, try to choose elemental magic in the future."

Ian thought about it for a moment and realized that this type of witchcraft required the fewest materials and relied mainly on runes.

It suits him better.

After a brief moment of thought, Ian continued rummaging through the bag.

In the end, they found two useful things.

"The Lionheart Knight's Law - The Great Knight Chapter", and a silver ring.

"The follow-up department of the Knights Act."

Ian's eyes lit up.

This time, although the physical aid didn't help much, it did allow him to better endure being controlled.

Otherwise, the magic cannot be released at all.

But how did Ross come to have the follow-up parts of this knightly law?

"He's Harman's brother; people from the same family naturally have connections," Ian chuckled.

"And this ring is quite interesting too."

Ian looked at the last silver ring; perhaps this was his greatest gain this time.

Mental energy touched the ring.

A message arrived at the same time.

[Concealment Ring: Mid-level artifact of the Zero Ring, imprinted with three advanced runes and twenty-six basic runes. Function: Consumes very little mental energy to conceal the wearer's mental energy. It can also actively activate a silent zone, preventing sound from propagating within a ten-meter radius. Creator: Phil Stewart]

"A witch artifact, and it's only at the mid-level of the zero ring."

Ian took a deep breath, suppressing his joy.

So-called witchcraft tools are various alchemical tools used by witches, and their grades are determined by the runes they are branded with.

A zero-ring, mid-level wizard artifact is something only a second-class wizard apprentice can possess.

It's worth at least several dozen magic stones.

Not to mention its function, which coincides with his current needs, and there is another area.

Needless to say, this area is the membrane Ian saw that day, which blocked his voice.

It can be very useful in certain situations.

"Ross is a good guy!"

Ian sighed.

This time the gains were truly enormous.

Everything he needed was magic stones, sorcery, materials, and magical artifacts, with a total value exceeding one hundred.

He's been at the academy for almost a year, and even with the awards, he hasn't received this much.

Sure enough, that's what they say.

Murder and arson bring wealth and honor.

It works just as well in another world.

"Adding the magic stones I've accumulated, that's about twenty, enough for me to cultivate properly for a while."

Ian put on the ring, put everything away, and couldn't help but fall into thought about his life ahead.

We're about to enter the Potions Department.

What should we do next?

"Keep a low profile, keep ...."

Ian pursed his lips.

During the advanced apprenticeship stage, there are often times when you have to compete for resources, but once you enter a department, you absolutely cannot do that anymore.

Try to keep a low profile when you encounter problems.

Let it develop quietly, and deal with it after it's fully developed.

Otherwise, it will happen again like this time.

He couldn't possibly be that lucky to dodge every time.

Only by staying alive can you become stronger.

Ian took a deep breath and began to study how to use the magical artifacts and the three magical arts.

In the blink of an eye.

Three days have passed.

Ian left Victor's room, but at this moment, his mental energy fluctuations were completely concealed, as if they had never existed.

"It's really useful."

Ian touched the ring on his right index finger.

This is the effect of the Concealment Ring.

Although it consumes a small amount of mental energy, it recovers less than the amount restored by the meditation rune.

This allows it to be open 24 hours a day.

Feeling the changes.

Ian hurried toward the teaching area; today was the day for dividing into departments.

By the time Ian arrived, most of the people were already there.

"Ian."

"Boss, where have you been these past few days?"

The members of the mutual aid society rushed over when they saw Ian; they hadn't seen him at all in the past few days.

"It's nothing, I just stayed at Instructor Victor's house for a few days."

Ian said.

Ross's affair involved espionage, so it naturally had to be kept completely secret, which suited Ian's wishes perfectly.

The group then realized what was happening.

"So, where are you planning to go?"

Ian changed the subject and asked.

"I'm going to the combat department," Logan said.

"I chose the logistics department, I don't know if I can stay." Emily blinked and smiled.

The other choices were basically the same; everyone except Emily chose the combat department.

This is also the mainstream view now.

Soon, almost everyone arrived. Qiao Lan walked into the classroom as usual, but there were quite a few people following behind him.

"Now we'll begin assigning departments."
