the next day.

The air is moist.

The sun at dawn was fading and dying in the thick fog.

The hazy Black Tower Academy seemed to have fallen into a dream.

Vic reported to Brody's alchemy workshop as agreed.

He was greeted by a plump red-haired woman in her fifties.

Her name is Emma.

Although a first-level wizard theoretically has infinite life, the irreversible entropy increase effect is a huge price a person has to pay for having endless life after being promoted to a first-level wizard.

a thousand years.

Or twenty thousand years.

Even if the life level reaches the peak of level six.

Still no wizard can escape the arrival of 'heat death of life'.

and this.

That is the secret of the curse of time.

The more powerful the wizard, the more obvious the time curse will be.

This is something Vic only learned after he was promoted to a level six wizard.

but.

The vitality of a wizard apprentice is not enough to reach this level.

The life span of an average apprentice will not exceed one hundred and fifty years, while that of a senior apprentice will be longer, at around three hundred years.

That's why Emma looks a little old when she stands in front of Vic.

She examined Vic and said expressionlessly, "Vic?"

"Yes."

"Come with me."

The alchemy workshop is very large and has two floors.

The lower level is where the apprentices do their daily work, including cleaning, washing experimental tools, preparing basic raw materials, etc.

Upstairs is Brody's private library.

But there are not many books.

After Vic joined the Atelier, he only needed to be responsible for the hygiene of the library on the second floor, and he could read the books and knowledge in it at will.

This is also one of the rules for training students at Black Tower Academy.

but.

Senior apprentices who have the ability to build a private library will not worry about their students stealing knowledge.

in contrast.

Without anyone teaching, I can learn by myself and understand the knowledge thoroughly.

That's what surprises new wizards.

In most cases, knowledge and books are placed on the bookshelf, but there are very few people who can read, memorize, and finally understand them independently.

Generally, students with this kind of talent will become the focus of training by new wizards.

The red-haired woman, Emma, told Vic some things he needed to pay attention to and ignored him.

The two apprentices working on the first floor were also not interested in Vic's appearance and were busy with their own work.

Vic is very satisfied with the working environment here.

No one bothers.

After spending an hour cleaning the second floor, he picked up two books from the library and walked to the relatively closed reading room.

Use spiritual speed reading, connect your spiritual body to the book, and start reading the knowledge above.

The books Brody displayed in the alchemy workshop, except for the most basic entry-level extraction method and mind reading, are all basic subjects in alchemy.

metallurgy.

Herbalism.

Principle of recipe modulation.

Secret text etching is an interdisciplinary subject that is used in many fields.

Because Vic's talent in the field of transformation is very ordinary, even with the help of advanced extraction methods, his learning speed is still not fast.

Fortunately.

With the experience from his previous life, it was not difficult for him to understand this knowledge, and it was only a matter of time before he mastered it all.

this time.

He will extract some more advanced alchemical knowledge from the lich's life box to facilitate him to make alchemical rings and accumulate soul stones in the future.

Prepare for promotion to senior apprentice.

In theory, a wizard apprentice can be promoted to a senior wizard after mastering a magic and studying a subject in depth.

However, using witchcraft for the first time will place a huge mental burden on the practitioner and the risk of failure is very high.

Therefore, it is necessary to prepare more soul stones to replenish energy.

Vic was promoted to a senior position in his previous life, but failed twice due to poverty, so he had a deep understanding of this.

in the afternoon.

An apprentice from the alchemy workshop knocked on the door of the reading room and said, "Vic, there is a student named Aaron who wants to see you."

Aaron?

Vic remembered that the last time they met was a year ago.

Get up and walk downstairs.

A tall, thin young man with messy hair was standing outside the door of the alchemy workshop.

He was wearing a black wizard robe, had a ruddy complexion, and had an alchemical ring on his right hand holding the book. There was a natural nobility in his temperament.

Meet Vic.

The young man immediately smiled and raised his hand, saying, "Hi! Vic, it's me, Aaron."

Vic looked carefully at the young man in front of him with a strange expression.

Although they are at an age when boys grow rapidly, isn't this too much of a change in just one year?
In Vic's memory.

Aaron has always been a short, dark, thin, shy and naive boy.

"Aaron?"

"Haha, you almost can't recognize me? People who know me say that I have changed a lot."

Aaron raised his head and glanced at Brody's alchemy workshop, then continued, "I came here to congratulate you on your successful admission.

This place is great.

But I heard that Lord Brody has a bad temper. "

Subsequently.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Vic said, "From the looks of you, you should be doing very well in the academy."

Facing old friends.

Aaron was the only one who could show some pure emotions in this academy where people’s hearts were unpredictable.

He rubbed his head a little embarrassedly, as if he was worried that sharing his current affluent life would cause Vic to be disgusted, so he said tentatively, "I'm about to be promoted to a wizard apprentice.

Lord Ryan thinks highly of me."

Vic remembered that Aaron visited him three times during his first six months under the bridge and gave him food and gold coins.

Moreover, he could sense the faint spiritual magnetic field around Aaron's body.

Not too many surprises.

Vic smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Flattery from others can never compare to a word of recognition between friends.

Aaron looked more like a big boy than a wizard. He smiled shyly, quickly took out an invitation from his alchemy ring, handed it to Vic with both hands, and said, "I want to hold a small party in the future. Only people of the same period as us will be invited, no outsiders.

of course.

Vic, you don’t have to come.”

Among his peers at the same time, Vic was the worst off.

In the wizarding world, the strong are respected.

Even though Vic is now taken in by the senior apprentice Brody, his personal strength and the resources around him are not in the same circle as Aaron and the others.

Vic didn't refuse outright, nor did he agree on the spot.

Just took the invitation with both hands.

He doesn't care what other people think, but whether he goes or not depends on whether he has time at that time.

Finish talking about your own things.

Aaron talks about Sigs's situation.

His expression showed some admiration and longing, and he sighed, "Last month, Miss Siggs mailed me a letter.

When she went out with Lord Essos, she met an important person.

The other party intends to form a teacher-student relationship with her, so she may not return to Black Tower Academy."

Big man?
Vic thought to himself, it seems that Sigs's talent is even better than he had guessed.

Aaron, like he did back then, stole a glance at Vic's face, and seeing that he still had a calm expression, he felt relieved and said, "Miss Sigs also mentioned you in the letter. I said you are doing well now."

Vic responded, “Siegs is different from us, she is a rare genius.

I hope that one day in the future, we can meet again as wizards."

Aaron smiled optimistically, "That day will come."
