The Wizard's Secret Journey

Chapter 139 Promotion
"Good afternoon, Benny."

It was noon again, and prison guard Whitaker came to work at Yinhuan Prison as usual. He greeted his colleagues, swayed to his seat, took out a hand-rolled cigarette and was about to light it.

"Well, I have to remind you, Whittaker, that Lord Bradley hasn't been here all morning.

"That means Mr. Bradley may come over at any time in the next period of time. The effect of your cigarette will not wear off for at least 20 minutes... If you get caught, don't say I didn't warn you."

Benny glanced at Whittaker and said kindly.

Whitaker was stunned, glanced at the door, and quickly put away the cigarette in his hand.

Everyone knew that Bradley would come to Silver Ring Prison once a day.

Usually it comes once in the morning, afternoon, and evening at mealtime, but if it doesn't come in the morning, it may come at any time.

Although Whitaker was just an ordinary prison guard and his office was located in the basement, right next to the cells, Bradley would always come down and take a look around whenever he came to check if there was anything unusual in Silver Ring Prison.

So Benny was right, in order to avoid trouble, he should not smoke.

After putting away the cigarette, Whitaker thought about it and decided to go on patrol with his equipment.

The first underground floor and the first half of the second underground floor mainly held Silver Ring apprentices, all of whom lived in separate cells. Whittaker walked through this section with a smile on his face the whole time.

Many of the Silver Ring apprentices imprisoned here have higher status than Whittaker, so he has always been cautious and polite, for fear of being hated by others.

When he reached the second half of the underground second floor, Whitaker suddenly felt much more relaxed.

However, when Whitaker passed by a cell, he slowed down and greeted the three teenagers inside.

"Good afternoon, Your Excellencies."

Generally speaking, the direct descendants of a first-level wizard will not participate in the Holy Ring unless they are extremely outstanding, so outstanding that they can definitely get into the top 5 of the Holy Ring.

This is mainly because the risks and benefits are not proportional. As direct descendants of first-level wizards, they have more and better choices.

So Whittaker was actually very surprised that Samuel had a father who was a first-level wizard.

And he is not just an ordinary first-level wizard, but a first-level wizard who is already advanced in the first level, relatively young, and has the hope of being promoted to the second level!
After a simple greeting, Whitaker was about to continue patrolling, but a voice stopped him:

"Mr. Whittaker, could you come over here for a moment?"

Turning his head, Whitaker looked at the boy who was speaking.

'Lynn Kent...'

Whitaker didn't know much about this black-haired, gray-eyed boy, but he was quite impressed by his calm and peaceful temperament.

"What's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with?" For Samuel's sake, Whitaker walked over with a smile.

"It's like this." Lin En pointed to the cigarette bag in his hand, "I want to buy some more cigarettes from you. I wonder if it's convenient."

The cigarettes were given to Samuel by Whitaker when he took him to see his father two days ago. In order to make his words more convincing, Lynn smoked a lot of cigarettes in the toilet of the cell with a frown last night.

Although Lin En looked normal with a faint smile on his face, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous in his heart.

He had already placed the seed of talent of perfect quality on Whitaker in front of him through good luck, and now he needed an opportunity - an opportunity to get the seed of talent of perfect quality from him.

In these tense times, time always seems to go a little slower.

Lin En saw a hint of doubt on Whitaker's face, glanced at the tobacco bag in his hand, and then hesitated. But after a moment, Whitaker smiled again:

"Of course you can, but... Mr. Lin, except for the toilets, the Silver Ring Prison is monitored by witch arrays everywhere. Sending tobacco once or twice is not a big deal, but if it continues... maybe you and I will be in trouble."

Whitaker walked closer to the cell and took another closer look at the tobacco bag in Lynn's hand, feeling very confused.

Judging from Lin En's smoking habits, he should smoke a lot, but in the past month or so, he has never shown any desire for tobacco.

When Lin En was given tobacco two days ago, the latter did not show much joy on his face...

"I understand." Lynn took a step back to make it easier for Whitaker to open the cell door. With just the right amount of sigh on his face, he added, "I've never actually touched tobacco before, but I tried it a couple of days ago, and it felt pretty good - especially in this situation now."

The doubt in Whitaker's eyes suddenly disappeared, and he smiled and agreed while taking the tobacco: "It is true sometimes."

Whittaker first took out two bags of cigarettes, thought for a while, took out another bag, and handed them all to Lin En: "They are all cheap goods. According to the market price, they only cost 30 primary magic stones in total."

Lin En paused for a moment, then took the cigarette and smiled sincerely, "Thank you."

He took out 50 primary magic stones and handed them to Whittaker.

At this time, Whittaker's badge sent a message. The content was very brief, but Whittaker's face changed, and he quickly told Lynn: "Mr. Bradley is here, put these cigarettes away!"

As he spoke, he quickly exited the cell and closed the door.

Whitaker had just finished doing this when he was surprised to hear Bradley's footsteps coming from the stairs at the end of the corridor.

"So fast? Bradley didn't patrol the underground first floor, but went directly to the underground second floor?"

Whitaker didn't think much about it. After making sure that Lynn had carefully put away the cigarette, he calmed down and continued patrolling.

He quickly walked to the end of the second floor and turned back.

At this time, Bradley had already reached the back half of the second floor.

The second-level wizard frowned as usual, but he didn't know if it was Whitaker's illusion. He always felt that Bradley's face was gloomier than usual... He didn't know what had happened.

Whitaker saluted Bradley from a distance.

The latter ignored him and continued walking forward, looking around at the wizard apprentices in the cells on both sides.

A moment later, Bradley stopped in front of the cell where Lynn and the other two were held.

Whitaker's heart tightened, and he subconsciously quickened his pace, came to Bradley, and asked respectfully:

"Mr. Bradley, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Indeed, I came here this time to take a few wizard apprentices away. I may need you to help me open the door later."

Bradley glanced at him and said lightly.

"Okay, Mr. Bradley." Whitaker was very confused, but he didn't dare to ask more questions, so he just nodded.

Bradley turned around and continued to look into the cell, asking suddenly:
"Which of you is Samuel Barnes?"

Samuel in the cell was stunned for a moment: "I am."

Lin En lowered his head and watched the second-level wizard in front of him with his peripheral vision, feeling something was wrong.

'How many wizard apprentices do you plan to take with you?'

Lynn tensed up, instinctively feeling that something was wrong. He clenched his left hand slightly into a fist, with the storage ring he had just taken from Whitaker hidden in his palm.

After a moment, Bradley's voice came again:
"I met your father once and we had a very pleasant conversation. If you need anything, you can tell me."

"…Thank you, sir, but I won't be using it for now."

Bradley nodded and took Whitaker deeper. Lynn breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, they stopped at a cell.

The first-class wizard apprentices of the Capeson School were imprisoned there. The scale of that school was roughly the same as that of the Horsens School. The strongest one was also a third-level wizard, but he was already very old.

Bradley ordered Whitaker to open the cell door, and then led the four first-class wizard apprentices inside to the outside of the Silver Ring Prison.

The four first-class wizard apprentices were confused and followed Bradley with happy smiles on their faces.

But Lynn only felt uneasy when he saw this scene.

……

……

late at night.

Lynn got up and went to the toilet in the cell alone.

After locking the door and taking out some materials from the storage ring and setting up a simple shielding and early warning magic array, Lin En took out the perfect quality talent seed - the tube of light blue potion.

The so-called seeds of talent should actually be strictly speaking called potions for cultivating seeds of talent.

Like talent, the seed of talent is not an external thing but comes from oneself.

The seed of talent is a bit of spirituality that is the gathering of all that is within oneself.

A long time ago, when there was no gifted seed potion, it was actually very difficult for wizards to cultivate gifted seeds.

If a wizard wants to gather everything he has and give birth to a mysterious spirituality, patience, talent, strength, and luck are all indispensable!

But now, cultivating seeds of talent is no longer a problem.

As long as the wizard apprentice takes the gifted seed potion, he can cultivate the gifted seed effortlessly.

Of course, this trick has its flaws.

That is, if the quality is not enough, it may cause the quality of the talent seed to deteriorate.

However, now that Lin En is taking the perfect quality Talent Seed potion, he can already achieve 100% perfect spiritual concentration, which is no different from the best result of concentrating his spirituality on his own.

This is why this kind of talent is called perfect.

"According to the meditation method, the time it takes to become a first-level wizard varies from person to person, but generally speaking it will not exceed four hours. Usually it takes about one or two hours. There are still five hours until dawn, so there is still enough time..."

Lin En's eyes flickered, and he sat down on the ground. After silently adjusting his mood for a moment, he drank the potion without hesitation!

He had originally planned to make more preparations, but he was very uneasy about Bradley taking those apprentices away today, so he didn't want to delay any longer and would try to get promoted tonight!
The light blue liquid flowed down his throat and soon took effect.

Lin En could feel himself turning into a huge white ball of light with many bright spots in it.

And those spots of light, at this moment, were converging towards the center of the eyebrows under the effect of the magic potion of the seed of talent.

And so, about an hour and a half passed.

With the help of the Seed of Talent potion, Lin En successfully condensed the Seed of Talent, which was a light golden spot located between his eyebrows.

Concentrating his mind, Lin En felt the tiny and faint golden light at the center of his eyebrows, and his heartbeat gradually quickened.

Exhaling lightly, he suppressed his surging emotions and waited quietly.

Another ten minutes passed, and the remnants of the gifted seed potion in the body completely dissipated, and all the light spots gathered at the center of the eyebrows.

This also means that promotion has come to the most critical stage——

Give birth to the seeds of talent!

Cultivating talent seeds and giving birth to talent seeds must be done together and at the same time.

Because if the gathered seeds of talent are not stimulated in time, they will spontaneously disperse and return to the light before long.

The method of inducing labor is also very simple.

That is to use magic power as fuel, spirit as furnace, and give everything in body and mind to the seed of talent!
Either the firewood runs out and the furnace is destroyed, or you succeed in advancing and open up the spiritual sea!

Thump, thump!
Even after taking several deep breaths, my heartbeat still had difficulty returning to its usual calm.

There is no time to hesitate!
Lynn gritted her teeth.

boom! !

He followed the instructions of the meditation method, woven a complex spiritual furnace, and then ignited the magic power without hesitation! !
As if real heat was emerging, Lin En felt that the sea of ​​magic in his chest was like lava, causing unbearable burning pain!
His masseter muscles tensed up involuntarily, and there seemed to be a squeaking sound between his teeth as if he could not bear the heavy load!

Since the magic power began, the body, blood, spirit... everything seemed to be burning and melting.

Then it transformed into streams of pure energy and flowed towards the talent seed.

It was like a long drought finally ending in a downpour. The seed of talent located between the eyebrows was so nourished that it began to thrive as if the accelerator key had been pressed.

As it grew, the spiritual core between the eyebrows was forced to expand, and gradually an overwhelming feeling of pain came.

But Lin En didn't stop...he had no way to stop!
Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. There is only one result now, and that is to open up the spiritual sea! !
click-

Not long after, there was a real sound of breaking...

The spiritual core...is broken.

But the next second, the golden seed of talent like the sun emitted a hazy glow.

The spiritual core continued to shatter, but it did not shatter completely.

The invisible light connected the fragments to each other in the air, maintaining their integrity while continuously expanding outwards...

Seeing this, Lin En heaved a sigh of relief... The most dangerous moment has passed. All he needs to do next is follow the steps and wait until his spiritual sea expands to its limit, then he will be able to successfully advance to a formal wizard! !

Another moment.

hum-

There was a sudden vibration from the soul level, and Lin En was immediately startled.

It's like warm water flowing, starting from the center of the eyebrows, the mind, body... everything is changing!

This is the sublimation of life level!!

I don’t know how much time passed.

The sublimation is finally over.

Lin En opened his eyes and he had successfully been promoted to a first-level wizard!
