The Queen of Scrolls never admits defeat

Chapter 542 Escaping from Aetherance
“If not, I’d rather learn on my own,” Moran said. “Anyway, I’ve come this far over the years, and reaching the super-peak level isn’t out of the question.”

Even Iverson couldn't deny Moran's talent. If she hadn't become a top-tier mage at such a young age, and not even considering her past of sweeping through the libraries of each department, even if she had only learned three spells per department per level, meeting the minimum requirements of the Ancient Mage training program, she would still be the most likely candidate in the Ancient Mage class to advance to the super-peak level.

Otherwise, her advisor wouldn't have taken a liking to her.

But if he went back to see his mentor like this, he would be in trouble: "Although your mentor can't guide you on the path of an ancient mage, he can definitely guide you in mental magic and provide you with some precious magical resources."

Going from the peak level to beyond the peak level is more difficult than going from an ordinary person to the peak level. Without the help of a mentor, you will have a very difficult journey. If you miss your prime, it will be much more difficult to cultivate your mental strength, and by then it will be too late to regret it.

“You don’t need to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up!” Moran said.

She is now well-versed in the rules of the monastic order.

A monk who cherishes time so much is willing to set aside some time to teach his disciples, of course, because it's profitable!
This is the same as how the Imperial Magic Academy trains mage students.

You have to give something in return for something you get.

With a vast amount of spiritual energy, Moran encountered no difficulty in understanding mage magic and had no need to create trouble for himself.

Iverson realized that she wouldn't listen to his kind words, so he resorted to a threat: "If you don't go, it won't look good for my mentor either. He only asked me to invite you because he really wants to help you. Even if you want to refuse, you have to go and tell him yourself! Otherwise... you'll be making an enemy of the entire Fourth Mage Tower!"

Moran sighed, "Then please wait a moment, Lord Angorboda! Give me three more months, and I will personally visit the Fourth Mage Tower after I have completed this stage of my magical studies."

Three months is but a fleeting moment for a peak-level mage whose lifespan has already exceeded the limits of their race. They can't even complete a single magical research project. Their mentor has just returned from the Well of Heaven and has no plans to leave again anytime soon. Iverson's attitude softened slightly, but he still didn't want to give in to this arrogant female mage's wishes so easily.
"At most two months!"

Moran looked very troubled.

Seeing her expression, Iverson finally felt a little better and threatened her, "If you're not happy about it, I'll go back and tell my mentor that you don't like his invitation, and I'll have him come and settle the score with you personally!"

Although it's normal for a mentor to hold a grudge against her given his personality, he also suffered from his own incompetence.

"Alright," Moran reluctantly agreed.

After Iverson left, the troubled expression on Moran's face disappeared.

In fact, if she were given another month and a half, she could complete the collection of all the spells of the Imperial Magic Academy at the peak level and below. At that time, she would leave Tallinn immediately, and who would care about Angor Boda's recruitment?
Iverson's arrival was like flipping a switch; in the following month, two more top-tier mages sent people to extend olive branches to her, wanting to take her as their apprentice.

Moran followed her previous script and refused them one by one, but they were all rejected. Still, she did not give up. She could only say that she would visit them after completing this stage of her studies, thus stalling for time.

The witches in the "Imperial Magic Academy Mage Infiltration Team" chat on the communication card told her that the ones who had contacted her were all top-tier mages in the Tower of Tarlin who were very enthusiastic about taking on apprentices.

They were all once elite students, and after becoming top-level mages, they were particularly keen to take on disciples who had already reached the top level and had a high probability of surpassing it.

By using a combination of coercion and manipulation, they take on promising, top-tier disciples, providing minimal resources while gaining a helper capable of quickly breaking through to the super-top level. Simultaneously, they transfer the debts they incurred during their student days onto their disciples. Angelboda and his ilk are already notorious among the high-level students of Tallinn for their exploitative practices.

However, the gap between the super-peak level and the peak level is difficult to cross. Once someone is targeted by them, it is almost impossible for them to escape unless they find another super-peak level mentor for protection.

Therefore, mages often make their presence felt in magic courses attended by high-level mages during their apprenticeship, hoping to find a powerful patron for themselves.

I'd rather get more resources and find a more reliable mentor than have someone else reap the benefits at the last minute.

The rules among mages are far more cruel and realistic than those among witches.

When Moran found out, she was only glad that she was a witch and wouldn't be bound by this system, and she simply sped up her pace.

After memorizing the last few spellbooks from the 47th floor of the main tower of the Elemental Division into the Memory Palace, Moran immediately prepared to leave Towerlin.

Within the Tallinn area, there are not only anti-flight magic arrays but also anti-space teleportation magic arrays, making it easier to escape only by leaving the Tallinn area.

Recently, the librarian in her library has been frequently loitering around where she sits, and Moran guesses that he might be a spy sent by those top-tier mages.

Moran first went to the restroom and drank a bottle of transformation potion, transforming into a different form, before taking the magic elevator and leaving the mage tower.

Instead of riding in a magic carriage, he used the peak-level wind mage spell, Wind Step, to control the wind elemental force to envelop himself, and quickly swept out of the tower forest like a gust of wind.

With sufficient mental energy, the speed can be even faster than a magic carriage at full speed, and there's no need to worry about being detected as soon as you get on the magic carriage.

The librarian noticed that she had gone to the restroom for quite some time and hadn't returned as usual. Finally realizing something was wrong, he went to check the restroom and found that she was no longer there. He quickly used the {communication card} to notify the people guarding outside the tower and rushed to the nearest magic horse station, but they couldn't find her.

When they found out she had left Tallinn, they went to look for her, but couldn't find her anywhere.

Finally, all parties received information that she had most likely left Etherland.

Such a big, fat sheep, they could have made a profit in a few decades at most, and it just got away right under their noses.

That day, several tower masters lost their temper and punished a group of people.

"Damn it! She actually got away!"

"Find her! She signed an elite student contract; she must still be within the Magic Empire!"

"How short-sighted! Just to avoid us, they left Aetherance like this. No matter how great their talent is, without a good environment and resources, it will only be wasted!"
