The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 100: One step faster, one step faster! (11)

"Lynn Kent, promotion course...wait a moment."

In Chris's office at the school's headquarters, a first-class apprentice on duty spoke to Lynn while checking.

He is not very old and looks like he should be Chris's student.

"Okay, please." Lynn replied, waiting patiently.

He successfully redeemed for Wizard Chris's promotion course five days ago and attended a lesson three days ago, which mainly taught him how to prepare for the promotion.

Now Lin En has made all the preparations and is just waiting for his official promotion today.

But this wait lasted half a day.

It was not until noon that Chris finally arrived, and he looked obviously in a bad mood.

"Sorry, Lynn, I'm a little late." Chris forced a smile and said to Lynn.

"It's okay, Mr. Chris." Lynn replied, and then hesitantly asked,
“If Instructor Chris is still busy, the promotion course can be postponed.

"I'm free for the next three days."

Promotion is a big deal for me. Although I don’t know what Chris has encountered, seeing him like this, Lynn can’t help but feel a little worried.

"No need." Chris shook his head, and he also saw Lin's worry, and comforted her.

"Don't worry, I just encountered some troubles at work. I am in good condition and it will not affect your promotion."

Lynn nodded and could only trust Chris.

"Come with me." Chris continued, leading Lynn towards the school's meditation room.

Not only is the environment there quiet, but the supply of magic energy is also sufficient, making it very suitable for promotion.

As for the time required to be promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice, it varies from person to person, but most of the time it takes less than half a day.

In other words, if everything goes well, Lin En will be able to be successfully promoted by the evening at the latest!

hum-

On the way, Wizard Chris's badge suddenly lit up.

The wizard, who usually had a gentle expression, had an obviously annoyed look on his face and frowned deeply.

Chris accepted the call with a sudden thought.

Thanks to the arrival of Yinhuan College, Cuilin City has undergone tremendous changes in various infrastructures compared to the past.

The most obvious of these is communications.

In the past six months, many communication wizard arrays have been built in Cuilin City, which have basically covered the entire Huosens Wizard Territory.

However, communication is still an expensive thing, and currently only special agencies like the Sheriff's Department or official wizards can use such communication functions.

“Chris, Lord Anderson has received our opinions and he will hold a meeting tomorrow afternoon.

"We will renegotiate the issue of resource allocation between us and the wizards of Silver Ring Academy at that time!"

Chris did not avoid Lynn. He could clearly hear a slightly excited male voice coming from the other end of the badge.

Lynn also roughly understood why Chris seemed to be in a bad mood.

From the man's words, it can be inferred that Chris should be worried about the issue of resource allocation, which also involves the wizards of Silver Ring Academy.

Due to the existence of the Blood-Red World, the Silver Ring Academy sent many official members to the Horsens Wizarding Territory.

Among them are formal wizards and wizard apprentices.

But most of these people are elusive and Lin En rarely has contact with them. This is the first time he has heard information about them.

After all, the Hosens Wizarding Territory is a small place. In the past, there were not many wizards and the resources were relatively abundant.

But now a large number of wizards have poured in, and the development of the Horsens Wizarding Territory has not kept up. The originally abundant resources seem a little scarce when distributed to each wizard.

"That's great, Mitchell. Even if the wizards of the Silver Ring Academy want to conquer the Blood Red World, it is obviously unreasonable to give priority to supplying them with sufficient resources. After all, this is the Horsense Wizard Territory!

"Any other news?"

"No more. Remember to be in Meeting Room 1 on time tomorrow."

"Okay," Chris finally replied, closing the communication.

Lynn followed him in silence.

"You said, Lord Horsens has already successfully been promoted to a third-level wizard, why didn't he secretly develop the Blood-Red World by himself, but had to hand it over to the Silver Ring Academy..." Chris suddenly muttered to himself.

With the strength of a third-level wizard like Hosens, he is fully capable of developing and owning this asset from another world on his own.

But he finally chose to share it with Yinhuan College, and no one knows what his considerations were.

Lynn did not respond and remained silent.

"Forget it, Lord Huosens, he probably has his own considerations."

Chris shook his head, turned to look at Lynn, and asked,
"If I'm not mistaken, after you advance to the first-class wizard apprentice this time, you should take the assessment for the Golden Thorn apprentice, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Chris." Lynn nodded.

"That's right, keep up the enterprising spirit. In this world, if you don't fight for what you want, you can only watch others take away what belongs to you!"

Chris praised and said,

“I remember that it only took you a little over a year to be promoted from a mortal to the current level 2 apprentice.

“This talent can definitely be called excellent, it just took a little longer to cross the extraordinary barrier.

"However, it shouldn't be a problem for you to become Goldthorn's apprentice. I congratulate you on your success in advance."

To be promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice in just over a year, such talent is indeed excellent.

But Chris is not young anymore and has seen many geniuses over the years, so he was not too surprised.

After all, a genius who has not grown up, no matter how gifted he is, is nothing more than a wizard apprentice.

"Thank you for the blessing, Mr. Chris." Lynn nodded in gratitude.

"We've arrived at the meditation room."

Chris's steps slowly stopped.

Lin En looked up and saw a row of newly built independent houses in front of him, with each house far apart.

After half a year of reconstruction, the Horsens Wizarding Territory has now been basically completed.

This is the public meditation room used for daily teaching.

Although it is a public meditation room, its level of safety and concentration of magical energy are in no way inferior to those of a formal wizard's private meditation room.

The configuration in all aspects far exceeds that of a wizard apprentice's meditation room, and only official wizards can apply to use it.

"Do you remember the precautions I told you?" Chris asked as he opened the door.

“I still remember them all.” Lynn nodded.

"Very good. Let me emphasize one last time. You must pay attention to the timing of taking the insensitivity potion."

Chris's expression was very serious.

“Once the fog surrounding your mind completely dissipates, I will immediately remind you to swallow the insensitivity potion.

“Don’t hesitate, don’t open your eyes, and don’t pay attention to anything. All you need to do is swallow the insensitivity potion, wait for 5 seconds, and then continue to gather the aura of knowledge.

“After taking the insensitivity potion, you will not be able to hear anything or see anything for a period of time.

"Don't panic, just focus on yourself, imagine yourself meditating, and after a maximum of eight hours, the effects will wear off naturally."

"do you understand?"

"I understand." Lynn nodded seriously.

"Okay, let's get started now," Chris said finally, closing the door of the meditation room.

……

It was difficult for Lynn to describe what it felt like to be promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice.

But the whole process went smoother and faster than he had imagined.

By the time he regained his senses, it was just evening outside.

Wizard Chris has been guarding beside him. He looked at Lin En with a smile:

"You have mastered the Horsens Meditation Method very well. The speed and smoothness of the entire promotion process can at least rank in the top five among all the apprentices I have seen!"

Lin En smiled. Before coming here for promotion, he deliberately used all his recent time to practice the Horsens Meditation Method, so he naturally mastered it well.

"I suggest you stay here for a while to adapt to the changes after your promotion and let the effects of the insensitivity potion wear off completely," Chris said.
"I will continue to stay here with you for two hours. You can ask me any questions during this time."

Lin En was not in a hurry to feel the changes after his promotion. Instead, he looked at Chris seriously, bowed slightly and said:

"Thank you, Mr. Chris."

As Chris said, although he encountered some troubles, it did not affect his advancement course at all.

This dedicated attitude is enough for Lin En to be grateful to him.

"You're welcome." Chris smiled, "When I was promoted to a first-level wizard, it was also Lord Horsens who supported me.

"Feel the changes after your promotion. Pay attention to your spirit, magic power, and the changes in the connection between spirit and magic power."

Lynn nodded, sat back on the meditation mat, closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

His first and most obvious feeling was actually the change in the magic power in his body.

If the magical power of a second-class wizard apprentice is a puddle, then the magical power of a first-class wizard apprentice is already a pool of water!
When a third-class wizard apprentice is promoted to the second-class, the increase in magic power is not that great, at most it is only three to five times.

Almost at the same time, Lynn felt his spiritual uplift again.

In addition to the greatly increased strength, there are other aspects of the spiritual improvement -

Its ability to perceive magic, its sensitivity, and its flexibility have all been improved in all aspects!

It's like a person who was originally in handcuffs and shackles suddenly had his restraints removed.

He used to be able to walk only unsteadily, but now he can run flexibly!

"No wonder the structure of the 0-ring superior sorcery has suddenly become so complicated..."

Lin En understood clearly in his heart that this spiritual improvement beyond strength was the greatest gain after being promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice.

The reason why the increase in the magic power in the body is greater than the increase in mental strength is probably related to this.

Lin En quietly felt the changes after the promotion.

Chris was also sitting quietly at the side, turning on his supersensory vision and doing the final work.

In the super-sensory vision, the world was gray and white, and only Lin En was glowing with a faint white light.

Whenever some dark "pollution" that looked like ink spots or mist floated in from the outside world, Chris would release his mental power to purify or disperse the pollution.

More than an hour later, the pale white glow on Lin En's body finally stabilized completely.

Chris did one last check as usual and turned off his super sense.

A few minutes later, Lynn opened her eyes.

"Congratulations, you have been successfully promoted.

"The only thing you need to pay attention to is to try not to meditate and use less witchcraft in the next half month."

Lin En nodded, but there was a hint of excitement deep in his eyes.

After this promotion, he seemed to feel the opportunity to enter the Black Moon Spirit Body.

……

After quickly returning home, Lynn entered the meditation room and began to capture the fleeting flash of inspiration he had felt after his promotion.

But that ray of light, although seemingly clear, is actually very ethereal and difficult to touch.

Until the sky was getting light and the sun rose from the horizon, Lin En still found nothing.

Lin En opened his eyes with a regretful expression. He stood up, feeling a little depressed.

This is the most important secret method of the Black Moon School that I got from the Black Moon Fortress. It is too difficult to master it without someone to teach me...

"Don't worry, if you have a clear mind, you will get started sooner or later."

Lynn let out a breath, wondering where to get some more matte stones.

This precious stone is of great help in entering the Black Moon Spirit Body.

He stood up and walked out of the meditation room and into the front yard.

It was sunrise in the sky, the morning sun was infinitely brilliant, and the surrounding clouds were dyed by it, looking hazy and charming.

'Finally promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice...'

Feeling the gentle caress of the morning breeze, Lynn gradually calmed down.

He felt a long-lost sense of leisure and stability.

This is a rare experience in my previous life.

In that world where great power cannot be attributed to oneself, there are too many intrigues and petty schemes.

Although the world before us is cruel, in a sense, it is much simpler.

You just need to practice hard and keep moving forward, and those annoying mosquitoes and flies, those thorns under your feet will disappear one by one.

Lynn looked at the scenery for a while, then told Adeline to prepare the car and go to the school.

Although he has been successfully promoted to a first-class wizard apprentice, in order to become a Goldenthorn apprentice... he still needs to pass some tests.

I don’t know if he can pass the test as he has just been promoted to a first-class apprentice.

……

"…Lynn Kent, come to register for promotion to first-class wizard apprentice."

At the school's headquarters, in the administration office, Lin En spoke respectfully to the first-level wizard in charge of recording files in front of him and handed over his badge.

"Well, you are 17 years old this year. Do you want to apply for the Golden Thorn Apprentice Assessment?"

The first-level wizard took the badge and asked questions while checking Lynn's information.

"Yes, sir," Lynn answered without hesitation.

He had worked so hard to be promoted to a first-class apprentice just to become a Golden Thorn apprentice, so there was naturally no reason for him to hesitate now.

"I just don't know what kind of assessment the school will arrange. I hope it won't be too difficult... After all, I have just been promoted. Compared with the senior first-class apprentices, there is still some gap in strength..."

The first-level wizard nodded, then paused:
"You were promoted from a third-class wizard apprentice to a first-class wizard apprentice, and it only took you a little over a year?"

"Yes, my lord."

"According to the recently added regulations, for wizard apprentices under the age of 18, if they can be promoted from a third-class wizard apprentice to a first-class wizard apprentice within two years, they do not need to take the assessment... Congratulations, you are now a Goldenthorn apprentice."

Lin En was obviously stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to react and thank him, "Thank you, sir."

After waiting for a while, when Lin En got the brand new badge belonging to the first-class Golden Thorn apprentice, he was still a little bit unbelieving.

He had already prepared himself mentally for the test, but he didn't expect that there would be no need for it in the end!

"You are so fast! I finally caught the last train."
