Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 100: Authority Freeze, Wet Jungle

"This is a seven-ring public trial mission."

Benigo said, "By then there should be many first-level wizards from other magic circles going there."

"First-level wizard?"

Ronan blinked. "Isn't the brain-eating flower attractive to second-level wizards?"

Ronan originally thought that this good thing, which could greatly enhance one's mental strength and increase the chance of comprehending a domain of resonance, should be a task for second-level wizards.

Benigo seemed to see through his thoughts and shook his head, saying, "Don't forget, when I said that the brain-eating flower can greatly enhance the effect of mental strength, it was aimed at you, based on the standard of a first-level wizard.

The mental power of a second-level wizard is dozens of times stronger than that of a first-level wizard. What is a precious potion to you may be just an ordinary thing to a second-level wizard.

Besides, the ancient potion formula I have is not easily available to everyone.
Even if you master the formula, the effect of this potion in increasing the chance of comprehending a domain of resonance is only applicable to first-level wizards."

"why?"

Ronan inquired.

"Because of the special medicinal properties of the brain-eating flower, and the difference between the mental power forms of a second-level wizard and a first-level wizard."

Benigo tapped his temple with his finger and explained simply, "When the medicinal properties of the brain-eating flower take effect, there will be a process where your mental power is completely crushed.

The spiritual power of a second-level wizard condensed into crystals can’t withstand such torture...”

Ronan's face showed understanding. If what Benigo said was true, then if he took on this task, he only needed to be careful of the other first-level wizards in the other six magic circles.

This undoubtedly reduces the difficulty a lot.

But Benigo's next words completely extinguished the sense of relaxation that Ronan had just felt.

"What I just said is just a normal situation. Although the value of the Brain-Eating Flower to a Level 2 wizard is not that great, it cannot be ruled out that a Level 2 wizard will go and fight for it.

The key is.”

Benigo looked into his eyes and said calmly but firmly, "If I were Travis, this mission would be the best chance to get the Nightmare Tungsten Steel from you."

"Are you saying that Travis will find someone to attack me during this mission?"

Ronan's eyes sparkled with brilliance.

"If he knew you answered it."

Benigo said calmly: “That’s almost inevitable.

Unless he suddenly loses interest in the Nightmare Tungsten Steel and no longer blames you for beating up a few of his wizards..."

Ronan had a blank expression on his face and nodded slowly: "Okay, I get it."

He looked down at the Holy Blood Tree seeds sprouting on the lab table and asked, "How often do these seeds need to be watered with my blood?"

"For now, once a week is fine. I'll let you know in advance."

Benigault replied.

Ronan nodded, and suddenly thought about it, and said to Benigo: "Oh, by the way, if you are free recently, please help me prepare a batch of healing potions. Other potions, rune stones and magic tools are all fine. I am running out of magic stones."

"So fast?"

Benigo frowned, "I remember I just gave you a batch."

"Please, that was two months ago, and I can't take quests in the Circle of Law to earn resources. Besides..."

Ronan glanced at his right index finger, which had just bled and was now almost completely healed, and whispered, "My recent practice has indeed required a lot of magic stones and resources."

The outer city of the Seven Rings.

Ronan, who had just returned from Benigona and was walking on the long street, changed into the silver-gray robe he bought when he first came to the French Circle.

From a distance, you can see two figures basking in the sun close together at the entrance of Blueberry Hostel.

Alida, who is small and has blue curly hair, looks like a docile little lamb standing next to Jacob.

Maybe Jacob told a joke that made her laugh non-stop.

"Good afternoon, Lord Ronan!"

The sharp-eyed Jacob spotted Ronan from a distance and quickly stood up to greet him.

Alida was much more casual, not as reserved as Jacob, and smiled and called out, "Hello, Lord Ronan."

Ronan smiled and nodded at the two of them.

It may be because Jacob broke through to the eighth level of apprentice last month and was one step closer to becoming a formal wizard, Alida's father's attitude has softened, and recently he has allowed the two of them to go out on a date once a week.

Even when he entered the Blueberry Inn and was almost at the stairs, Ronan could still hear Alida and Jacob talking in low voices.

"Lord Ronan has become even more handsome after cutting his hair short. Recently, several female wizards have come to ask me if Lord Ronan needs a mistress..."

"I feel that Lord Ronan's aura is getting stronger and stronger. I can hardly breathe in front of him."

"Stupid, that's because your health has deteriorated! Don't meditate too hard, I don't want to be a widow after marrying you."

"Alida, what are you talking about!"

After entering the room, Ronan sat down on the sofa in the living room.

There was a pot of bitter chamomile tea on the table that had just been brewed.

Ronan poured a cup, then took out a silver disc with the ring of law logo from his storage waist bag and examined it.

This thing is his proof of identity as a formal member of the Circle of Magic, and it is also a tool for daily communication between him and the Circle of Magic, a bit like the function of a communication stone.

When his mental power penetrated into the disc, the first message he received from the Dharma Ring was to inform him that because he had not completed the required tasks for four consecutive months, his membership in the core of the first ring had been revoked and he had been officially demoted to an ordinary member.

There was no significant change in Ronan's expression, which was something he had expected.

In fact, Ronan only found out a month ago that ordinary wizards in the Circle of Magic could apply for "retreat protection" from the Circle of Magic.

The protection period can be up to three years, during which time no tasks need to be performed and no penalties will be imposed.

He tried to apply, but it was immediately rejected without reason.

After the "downgrade" notification, the remaining messages were similar - [The potion commission you posted was cancelled! ] [Sorry, the rune commission task you applied for was not approved. ]
Ronan read all the messages one by one without any emotion in his heart.

Normally, as a core member of the magic circle, he can enjoy a series of privileges including purchasing potions, rune stones, commissioning the forging of magic tools, enchantment commissions, etc.

Whether he is shopping or buying things, he can enjoy certain discounts within the French Ring.

However, now all these "privileges" have been "frozen" without exception. Because he failed to complete the guaranteed tasks every month, he doesn't even have the basic benefit of ten high-level magic stones every month that every formal member of the magic circle has.

Apart from being an official member of the magic circle, he did not enjoy any of the conveniences and benefits he was entitled to, and was almost no different from when he was wandering.

He now suddenly understood why Bannigo had taken the initiative to pass on the first and second level metal spells to him. Perhaps Bannigo had already anticipated that he would encounter the current situation.

Some people within the circle of law who are above the rules are manipulating the rules and trying to make him submit.

"So we should take this mission." Ronan took a sip of hot tea and recalled the mission that Benigo had mentioned to him before.

The importance of the Brain-Eating Flower to his improvement in cultivation is partly due to the fact that the mission itself is also relatively rare, a seven-ring public mission that Travis and others cannot tamper with.

If completed, he will get a precious "breathing period".

"Tuk-tuk-tuk-"

There was a polite knock on the door, followed by Alida's voice.

"My Lord, do you need anything sent today? The courier will leave before three o'clock."

Ronan raised his head slightly, "No, thank you Alida."

"Well my Lord, have a nice day."

Alida's footsteps faded away at the door, and Ronan shook his head in amusement. He knew very well that the other party was probably coming to him to earn tips again.

When people are in trouble, they always subconsciously want to grab something to rely on, and loneliness often makes people miss others.

Ronan is no exception.

During this period, in his spare time, he wrote letters to old Wells, Venetia, and his relatives in the earldom who were countless oceans away.

It has been more than half a year since Ronan parted with old Wells and others. He only knew that the place they went to was called Qifeng Port, and he didn't know how they were doing now.

Recollecting his thoughts, Ronan opened his character panel.

】

In two months, relying solely on meditation, my strength progress increased by 1%.

Compared with an ordinary first-level wizard, this speed is neither too fast nor too slow. At this rate, it will take him about three years to enter the late stage of the first level, and nine years to reach the threshold for promotion to the second-level wizard.

The three extraordinary powers of the law, [Particle Torrent], [Power to Break the Law] and [Desperate Freeze], have made steady progress. Without spending too much energy on them, the proficiency can generally be improved by dozens of points. Ronan is already very satisfied.

The biggest improvement was naturally in the focused practice of [Austerity Body Training]. In two months, the proficiency level increased by a full 150 points!

It seems that they are determined to make up for all the lost progress in one go.

At this time, the white ball of light in Ronan's body had grown from the original fist size to the size of three fists, becoming several times larger.

What it brings to Ronan is a more surging and majestic vitality.

Under the nourishment of this vitality, it seemed as if there was an active volcano in his body that could erupt at any time.

With vitality burning, the physical strength after activating [Immaculate Body] seems to be able to grow without limit, and it is impossible to measure it with specific numbers.

Of course, the biggest improvement is the physical defense of [Innocent Body]. From the initial ability to resist low-level zero-order spells without any damage, to intermediate zero-order, and now to advanced zero-order, [Innocent Body]'s ability in elemental resistance has been greatly enhanced.

If you look closely at Ronan's skin now, you will find that there seems to be an extremely thin layer of transparent stratum corneum on the surface of his skin, which is naturally formed under countless spell bombardments.

Behind this series of huge improvements in physical strength is Ronan's complete disregard for the cost of consuming potions.

During these two months, he almost drank the first-level healing potion as if it were water, just for the little bit of vitality contained in it that could quickly replenish the meager vitality consumed by the light ball in his body.

After two months, Ronan's fortune was almost gone. He searched through his storage waist bag and found that except for some necessary things that could not be sold, the rest of the items added up were estimated to be worth less than ten high-level magic stones.

Compared with the previous arrogance when he had a thousand high-level magic stones, it is far inferior.

"If you go too deep into physical training, it will become a bottomless pit of resources."

Ronan couldn't help but sigh that if Travis and others hadn't interfered, he could have purchased the healing potion through the platform channels within the Magic Circle, and the cost would probably have been much less.

Also because of practicing [Austerity Body Tempering], Ronan practiced almost all the elemental zero-order low-level spells he could find, and almost all of them were practiced to the mastery level or above.

With ice spells as his focus, his intermediate-level zero-order [Frost Ray] has been promoted to expert level. It is estimated that it will take only one or two months for him to break through to the master level. He has not tried to push spells other than the low-level zero-order to the master level, so he is not sure about the time.

"When the [Frost Ray] also develops into a supernatural domain, that will be the time when the 'Despair Domain' will undergo a true qualitative change. I don't know what the situation will be like..."

Ronan thought about it, gently closed the panel, stood up and walked into the small training room inside.

He picked up a blank rune stone in front of the experimental table and engraved it casually. For Ronan today, rune engraving is no longer a skill to make a living, but more of a pastime in his spare time and a unique way to calm his mind.

"Please help me register for this mission."

The next morning, in the Seventh Ring Mission Hall, Ronan stood in front of a mission window and pointed out a particularly prominently marked mission in the mission booklet to the Ring wizard in charge of mission registration.

As a public trial mission of the Seven Rings, it is usually "pinned to the top". Ronan easily found the "brain-eating" mission that Benigo mentioned.

Of course, the mission did not mention any information about the "brain-eating flower". On the surface, it only encouraged the wizards of the Circle of Magic to explore a secret space called "Wet Jungle".

Only wizards who have some inside information know that there is a rare magic potion, Brain Flower, in the "Wet Jungle".

"Okay, go wait outside the door, and an airship will take you there."

After the mission was registered, the wizard in the window handed Ronan a white rune stone, which served as the certificate for this mission and also the key to entering the secret space of the "Wet Jungle".

If he didn't accept the mission, Ronan would not be able to bypass the magic ring and enter the "Wet Jungle". Privately exploring an owned secret realm is a serious violation in the entire wizarding world.

Ronan took the certificate and walked out of the mission hall. He habitually looked around at the mission windows, but this time he didn't see the female wizard with short green hair.

He composed himself and stood at the door of the mission hall waiting quietly. There were a few wizards waiting with him. They were not very strong, and like him, they were around the middle of level one, and were just ordinary members of the magic circle.

After waiting for a while, a young wizard with a first-ring core identity marked on his robe came, emitting mental fluctuations belonging to the late first level.

Several mid-level first-level wizards who were waiting with Ronan immediately surrounded each other. Judging from their harmonious combination, it must have been an agreement long ago.

At this time, a person from the small group opposite came out and asked Ronan if he wanted to join.
