The Wizarding Age: I Can Explain Everything

Chapter 2 The Ring of Truth
In the afternoon, the elemental course ended.

The students walked out of the classroom in twos and threes.

"Pei Ze, do you want to go have something to drink?" Ye Bin suggested, "I heard that Shining Restaurant has released a drink called green apricot juice. It tastes great and has the effect of enhancing mental strength."

Pei Ze was a little tempted, but after touching the wallet in his pocket, he gave up the idea.

"No, I have to go back to practice."

"Why are you working so hard?" Ye Bin curled his lips, "Anyway, I figured it out. I don't have the talent to become a wizard at all. When the academy is reassigned in half a month, I will apply to transfer to the Knight Academy. I can't be a wizard. It’s not bad to be a knight.”

The so-called knight refers to a warrior who has condensed the seeds of life, has physical fitness far beyond the limits of ordinary people, and has mastered powerful combat skills.

Although the status of knights is not as good as that of wizards, they are still a privileged class above ordinary people. The vast majority of students who have no hope of being promoted to wizard apprentices will eventually choose to become a knight.

Pei Ze was about to speak when he heard a commotion from ahead.

"It's Shao Hong and the others!" Someone whispered.

Following the eyes of the crowd, Pei Ze saw a group of teenagers and girls in gray apprentice robes walking tens of meters away, their hands and feet raised with high spirits.

People around looked at them with envy that couldn't be concealed.

Including Ye Bin, who was clamoring to switch to the knight department just now.

They are also in Class Three. They are still struggling to be promoted to wizard apprentices, but Shao Hong and others have begun to come into contact with real magic. Why don't they make people envious and jealous?

Pei Ze took a few glances, then looked away calmly, greeted Ye Bin, and turned to leave.

When we walked out of the academy, the sky was already getting dark.

The graystone street lamps on both sides of the street were all lit up.

The yellowish light falls on the ground, looking like huge yellow spots. Occasionally, when pedestrians pass by, a long shadow is cast on it.

Pei Ze squinted at the street lights, thoughts flying in his mind.

As the name suggests, the gray stone lamp is a lighting appliance that uses gray stone as energy, and gray stone is a special ore that contains a small amount of energy. It is a by-product of magic stone, so it is also called secondary magic stone.

Magic stones are expensive and only wizards can afford them.

Therefore, the secondary magic stone is more widely used among the people, and has basically become a universal energy source in civilized society. Its status is equivalent to the oil in Pei Ze's previous life.

Whether it is the street lights on the street or the machines running in the factory, they all use gray stone as the driving energy.

It is worth mentioning that this world is somewhat similar to Europe during the industrial revolution, but many places are specious.

For example, there are no cars or airplanes.

The most common means of transportation here are horse-drawn carriages or many riding animals.

There are no weapons of mass destruction.

Although there are firearms, they are still at the level of muskets.

After all, there is no space and soil for the development of hot weapons in this world. Whether it is the magic of wizards or the fighting spirit of knights, they all crush ordinary guns and artillery.

A pistol bullet that can pierce a three-millimeter thick steel plate within 100 meters, but cannot penetrate a knight's body armor, let alone a wizard's defensive force field.

In other words, wizards are the most powerful weapons of mass destruction in this world.

Pei Ze once saw the scene of a high-level wizard casting a spell on a recording crystal. A nine-ring spell meteor burst directly flattened a five-kilometer radius, which was as powerful as the intensive bombing of more than a dozen Tomahawk missiles.

Those who can resist this spell can resist the covering attack of air-to-ground missiles in the previous life.

It was that scene that convinced Pei Ze to become a wizard.

The fact of crossing is irreversible, and complaining is useless. In this case, it is better to accept the reality, practice hard, set foot on the pinnacle of this world, and see more wonderful scenery!
With the omniscient eye, Pei Ze believes that he will achieve his goal sooner or later!

Taking a step back, even if it is not for stepping to the top, but just for a better life, one must become a wizard!

Pei Ze raised his head and looked into the distance. Through the undulating top of the building, he could vaguely see the huge white wall towering into the sky in the distance.

That's the Ring of Truth!

A huge ring-shaped wall that divides Dawn City into two areas, the inner and outer areas.

Just separated by a wall, the living environment and prosperity are very different.

In the inner city, even the driving energy for street lamps is precious magic stones.

In the eyes of many people, the inner city is like a paradise on earth, and countless people dream of living in the inner city.

However, very few people can realize this dream.

There are only three types of people who can live in the inner city.

The first type is the wizard who claims to have mastered the truth.

The second type is the wizard's relatives, followers and servants.

The third type is those who provide services to the first two types of people.

"No matter which world or era we live in, classes exist."

Pei Ze murmured.

Once upon a time, the predecessor was also a part of the inner city residents.

It was only two years ago that his parents died unexpectedly, and his inheritance was confiscated by relatives, and he lost the qualification to live in the inner city, so he was driven to the outer city.

Even after two years, Pei Ze can still clearly feel the strong resentment and unwillingness of his predecessor from the memories left in his mind.

"Since I have taken over your body, I will be responsible for your cause and effect. One day in the future, I will definitely make those guys pay the price." He said secretly in his heart.

After ten minutes.

Pei Ze returned to his place of residence.

What came into view was a dilapidated building.

The exterior facade is covered with white rectangular tiles, and there are cracks in many places, showing the sense of time everywhere, which makes people have the urge to spray the word "demolition" on the exterior wall to form a circle.

Pushing open the door, Pei Ze went to the switch in the dark and turned on the only gray stone lamp in the room.

The dim light instantly illuminates the entire house.

One bedroom, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen, with an area of ​​no more than square meters, which is cramped and cramped.

However, Pei Ze, who had the experience of renting a house as a social animal in his previous life, felt that this environment was already very good.

At least the living room and bedroom are separated, and the kitchen and bathroom are also distinct.

Pei Ze threw a piece of briquettes into the stove and lit a fire. He cooked some noodles, hastily finished dinner, and went to the living room to sit down.

"Omniscience."

He silently said in his heart.

The light curtain unfolded slowly like water.

【Spirit 2.45】

[Physique 1.45]

[Task: Analysis of Will Rune No. 1, estimated to take 4 minutes]

Pei Ze suppressed his expectations and waited patiently.

Four minutes passed quickly, and a reminder finally came to my mind.

[The No. 1 will rune analysis is complete! 】

In an instant, a large amount of information poured into Pei Ze's head like a flood, so that his head felt like it was stretched, and his temples on both sides even jumped.

After a long while, Pei Ze finally digested the information in his mind and opened his eyes, his eyes shining with light.

【Spirit 3.45】

[Physique 1.75]

The successful construction of each will rune will greatly increase the spiritual power.

And this time his spirit increased by a full point!
In the past, it would take at least seven or eight days of meditation to achieve this kind of result.

In addition, the constitution has also increased by 0.3.

The spirit affects matter, and the wizard's meditation method also has the effect of tempering the body, but the efficiency is far less than the improvement of the spirit.

After coming back to his senses, Pei Ze raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a happy smile.

According to the division of apprentice levels in the wizarding world, the standard for a first-level wizard apprentice is to be able to successfully construct the first will rune, and the spirit has reached the 3 scale.

In other words, he is now a genuine first-level wizard apprentice!
