Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 3 Intermediate Apprentice
When Roy came out of the accommodation area, it was already bright outside.

Most of the low-level apprentices living on the ground floor were in a hurry because the pagoda cleaning day was approaching and the atmosphere was becoming visibly tense.

During this time, he happened to meet a few acquaintances.

Those were the low-level apprentices who had been assigned to serve together.

"Roy, are you going to the shopping street to buy something?"

"Hey, I see. You kept silent, but you were also planning the same thing!"

"Come to think of it, I haven't seen you for a while. Did you go out to do missions to earn money?"

Many people have accepted their fate and are considering ways to escape.

Smuggling some things back from Wuta can fetch a good price.

Even the perfumes that Roy had previously refined were luxury items that only the upper class could enjoy.

However, the Wu Tower seems to be intentionally creating a huge gap between the secular world and the wizarding world. It does not want to develop any productivity, but instead deliberately restricts it.

All profits come from holes, forcing people to become wizards and achieve a winner-takes-all situation.

He glanced at these low-level apprentices who didn't understand the situation clearly, and said nothing more.

"Hey, why is this guy ignoring me?"

"Forget it, don't worry about him, let's do our own thing."

The junior apprentices were puzzled, but soon forgot about him.

The day of cleaning the pagoda is approaching, and perhaps after a while, we will no longer have the chance to see each other.

Not long after, Roy saw some familiar faces again.

He was the old apprentice who was in charge of the accommodation area and was also the main person in charge of the tower cleaning.

They were posting tower-clearing notices along the streets with a few followers, informing people of various precautions.

“Today is July 7rd, and the day after tomorrow, the 3th, is the day for the tower clearance inspection.

By then, all those who have not yet obtained the status of intermediate apprentices will be sent to the concentration camp outside the tower to await their fate.

On July 7th, it will be loaded onto a ship and transported back to the mortal world!"

Roy stopped and watched for a few seconds, then turned and left before the other person noticed him.

This matter no longer had anything to do with him, and he successfully avoided such a fate.

……

"Place your hand upon the crystal ball and meditate on the rune of will."

"Hmm? As expected, there are eight."

Soon after, at the registration office on the second floor of the Witch Tower.

The old apprentice in charge looked at Roy's slightly pale face and understood instantly.

Every year in early July, when the Tower Cleaning Day comes, there will always be a group of people sprinting to the finish line.

Some people succeed and some people fail.

This is not surprising.

However, for the person involved, it can be regarded as a feat that changes his destiny.

“Congratulations, young man.

From now on, you are an intermediate apprentice and are eligible to stay."

The person in charge began to process the procedures for Roy, while formally fulfilling the obligation to inform.

The key is the curriculum for intermediate apprenticeships and the various rules and regulations that need to be followed.

Roy listened carefully.

This is related to his intermediate apprenticeship path for the next few years.

The predecessor actually already knew the general situation.

In general, just continue to reveal more will runes until there are more than sixteen, and then start learning spell models.

Then, all twenty-four...

That is the condition for promotion to senior level.

……

"Lord Roy, this is your badge and uniform, as well as some of your belongings from your previous residence..."

"Okay, I understand. You can go out first." Two days later, on the second floor of the Witch Tower, in the accommodation area for intermediate apprentices.

Roy waved away the servant assigned by the management office and took a shower in his new residence.

The living environment of mid-level apprentices is naturally not comparable to that of low-level apprentices.

The suite here has a bathroom, a small alchemy table, bookcases, desks and other items, and even the bed is a bit wider.

After changing clothes and putting on the badge, the whole person looks brand new.

In front of the mirror, the image of a young apprentice wearing a blue-gray robe and with a pale face was reflected on it.

"After a whole month of tension, I can finally relax a little and take a breath.

At least for today, take a break."

Not long after, Roy went out and planned to go shopping.

In addition to relaxing the tense nerves that have been tense since the time travel, it is also a way to familiarize yourself with the environment you will be in for the next few years.

As a result, as soon as I went out, I saw several young men and women of similar age.

"Friend, are you also a newly promoted intermediate apprentice?"

A blond, blue-eyed, sunny and handsome man came up and greeted them.

"also……"

Roy glanced at a few people and understood instantly.

"Indeed."

"We too were assigned here together. What a fate!"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Renien, this is Niya, and this is Andov..."

Blond Renien greeted them warmly and introduced them to the others.

Roy nodded: "My name is Roy."

After exchanging greetings, everyone asked each other questions and confirmed that they were all six-year apprentices who had just successfully made the final sprint in the past few days. They couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Blond-haired Rainien seemed to be trying to recruit Roy into his small circle and form his own power, so he tried to win him over.

After a while, they seemed to have become familiar with each other.

Renien suggested, "Before I was promoted, I didn't dare to go to many places, and I couldn't go. I lived here for many years in vain.
Why not take this opportunity to stroll around and get familiar with the environment? "

Everyone agreed, including Roy, who had originally intended this.

Their career as low-level apprentices has ended, but their days as mid-level apprentices are just beginning.

The Okmi Wu Tower is similar to other Wu Towers, with the bottom to third floors corresponding to low, medium and high level apprentices respectively.

Each floor has a shopping street, library and teaching area, which can be used for living and studying.

Before they knew it, they arrived at the commercial district.

It is visibly more prosperous here than the low-level apprentice area, with many shops and stalls, and it is as noisy as a market on earth.

Palm-sized fairies, furry children with animal ears, long-eared elves wearing collars...

Gems emitting dangerous fluorescence, minions of unknown creatures, potions of various colors...

There were even wandering souls in crystal balls, fabricated corpses, bloody eyeballs, and white brains...

They are all displayed for sale openly!
There are all kinds of knight weapons, armor, bows, crossbows, swords and knives.

Roy understood: "No wonder those guys are thinking about making a fortune before returning home.

It's easy to make money by taking advantage of the difference between Wuta and the secular world!

Of course, the prerequisite is that you don't run into bandits, refugees, monsters, or get eaten up by local nobles, tax collectors, sheriffs, and the like."

In addition, he also noticed that almost all the knowledge and resources he saw along the way came from another world.

Because the wizarding world where the "Seven Towers Alliance" is located is just an ordinary world of medium size.

If they had not crossed the starry sea and conquered other worlds, they would have long been caught in endless internal friction.

But these have little to do with me for now.

On the contrary, another thing is more important.

"What should I do to earn more magic stones?"
