Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts
Chapter 80: Heading to the Wizard's Tower, Apprentice Registration
After the initial confusion and shock subsided, Lorne was genuinely happy for Theodore.
The curly-haired boy who used to cling to his clothes in fear in the forest has now left me far behind.
He was only one step away from becoming a formal wizard.
There's no need for me to guide him or offer suggestions.
"Then let's do as you say."
"Um!"
The two made a decision and left their residence...
If apprentices want to leave the apprentice area and go inside the Black Tower, they must go to the apprentice hall and use the teleportation array.
Lorne was very familiar with teleportation arrays.
Whether it's a flying artifact or a flying spell, neither is as convenient as a teleportation array.
However, setting up a teleportation array is extremely resource-intensive and manpower-intensive, and maintenance also requires costs, and it can only teleport to a fixed point.
The Apprentice Hall is a huge, ancient building constructed of rock and some kind of special wood, with its pillars covered in runes and reliefs, radiating a faint spiritual light.
Lorne and Theodore arrived at noon, and there were few apprentices in sight.
The only people present were two staff members standing by the obsidian doors of the lobby, whose positions were not much different from those of security guards.
After Theodore and Lorne got a short distance away, the two immediately extended their hands to stop them:
"Apprentices are not allowed to enter the hall unless it is for important matters."
Apprentices aren't allowed in the apprenticeship hall? What kind of rule is that... Lorne thought to himself.
Theodore stepped forward to negotiate: "We need to go to the Wizard's Tower to register our apprentice level."
Registering for apprenticeship level? The two security guards looked at Lorne and Theodore with suspicion.
"Prove the truth of what you say."
Theodore didn't mince words either, his eyes gleaming.
The next second, an extremely pure and vast spiritual force attacked the two of them.
Their faces remained frozen in astonishment for a moment.
The reason for the shock was not because of Theodore's talent, but because everyone with such talent eventually became a big figure in the Black Tower.
"This gentleman..." one of them said, using a humble tone as he addressed Lorne, who was standing behind Theodore.
Lorne's talent was poor; he was an apprentice who advanced through drug use. When he released his mental energy fluctuations, they were very mixed in their perception.
Their expressions instantly turned disdainful.
"Complete the registration and accept this mark."
A faint light appeared, gathered towards Lorne's chest, and finally transformed into a circular pattern.
They treated Theodore with utmost respect, explaining in a very ingratiating manner:
"This mark will last for one day. Get back to the apprentice area as soon as possible before it disappears."
Differential treatment should not be too obvious.
Theodore felt a little uncomfortable, his face showing embarrassment, and he looked at Lorne apologetically.
"Let's go in." Lorne didn't care about these formalities, and besides, the difference in treatment between the two security guards had nothing to do with Theodore.
At most, they just wanted to get to know him better because of his exceptional talent.
In any world, establishing dignity requires capital, and in this world, strength is capital.
And right now, he's just a level one wizard apprentice who rose through the ranks by using potions...
The two passed through the obsidian gate and entered a short passageway.
Lorne could feel invisible fluctuations coming from the walls on both sides, sweeping over his body and penetrating into his mental sea.
At the end of the passageway was a semi-circular guard post, behind which sat an old man with a stern face.
"The teleportation array to the Wizard Tower is below. Once you two enter the area of the array, I will activate the teleportation."
The old man's tone was cold, like that of a robot devoid of any emotion, and his expression was somewhat numb.
"Hmm." The two descended the spiral staircase on either side of the duty station.
As you descend the spiral staircase, a breathtaking view unfolds before you.
The space was incredibly vast, with a high dome and a floor paved with smooth black stone.
The black stone is engraved with intricate and dense patterns.
After Theodore and Lorne were ready, the old man activated the teleportation array.
The patterns on the ground emitted a blinding light, followed by a feeling of dizziness.
That familiar feeling is back...
The image distorted for a moment before reforming and gradually becoming clear.
Lorne suppressed his discomfort and forced his eyes open, where he was greeted by an incredibly vast circular hall.
Four incredibly thick obsidian pillars stand tall and connected to each other.
The cold, pale blue aura originated from the constantly fluctuating energy patterns on the ground and pillars.
A few scattered individuals, fellow wizard apprentices like Lorne, moved cautiously through the great hall, their faces filled with awe and a thirst for exploration.
Occasionally, a formal wizard in a long, gilded robe and wearing a black sun emblem on his chest would hurry through the hall, seemingly indifferent to everything around him.
Lorne and Theodore were like newborn chicks, curious about the giant circular hall but unsure where to go.
The two had never been here before. The white-robed witch had teleported them to the apprentice area, and then a guide came to arrange things for them.
Both Lorne and Theodore were completely unfamiliar with the Wizard Tower.
"Lorne, where do we register?" Theodore looked around.
"have no idea."
This is my first time here too...
After scanning his surroundings, Lorne noticed several undecorated platforms made of black stone at the edge of the hall.
In front of the platform stood a formal wizard wearing a cloak.
They stood there silently, but they shone brighter than the stars.
Waves of spiritual energy emanated from them, containing an invisible pressure.
At the level of a formal wizard, their spiritual power has been materialized into magic, giving them the ability to change the world.
Magic can directly intervene in reality and indirectly affect various aspects of life.
It is a power that cannot be understood by common sense, and it is the concentrated manifestation of the wizard's personal will.
Every kind of magic has subtle differences.
"They're quite the show-offs..." Lorne glanced at the few official wizards and said to Theodore, "They must be the guides."
The two men stepped forward to inquire about matters related to registering as apprentices.
It's not too complicated. All you need to do is draw a wisp of your spiritual energy into the container they provide and add a drop of blood. They'll take care of the rest.
Once you've done all that, you've officially become a wizard apprentice at the Black Sun Tower.
The Black Sun Tower can monitor the life status and movements of each apprentice by providing spiritual power and blood.
After completing the registration, Lorne and Theodore each received a set of apprentice attire and a badge representing their apprenticeship.
"Is Lady Katarina still in the Wizard's Tower?" Theodore asked the guide. "I have something to report to her."
Lorne wasn't surprised by Theodore's question.
His primary purpose in coming to the Wizard's Tower was not to register as an apprentice, but to become a formal wizard's... student!
