Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

The dinner table.

"wizard?"

Upon hearing that Xia Jian was looking for a wizard, the old woman was somewhat taken aback. After regaining her senses, she shook her head slightly and spoke again.

"Becoming a wizard isn't all that great; those who aren't talented are not as carefree as ordinary people."

Although wizards are powerful, very few can successfully embark on this path; most are merely stepping stones for others.

"Is the old woman a witch too?"

Xia Jian raised an eyebrow and asked with some curiosity.

After all, there are many powerful creatures here, and anyone who can live here alone must be no ordinary person.

However, the opponent was physically weak, and his overflowing spiritual power seemed quite ordinary, so he didn't seem like a very strong person.

"Not a wizard, just an apprentice."

The old woman sighed, her eyes filled with the vicissitudes of life.

"An apprentice?" Xia Jian touched his nose.

This is just like me. No wonder I didn't feel any threat. Whether they are stronger than me is also a question.

Next, Xia Jian asked some questions about wizards, but the old woman couldn't answer many of them.

According to the old woman, she was just an ordinary person with mediocre talent who was still in the apprenticeship stage even at over a hundred years old.

Although Xia Jian knew it was true, hearing it from the old woman was still quite poignant.

According to the old woman, becoming a wizard is extremely difficult, and even those with extraordinary talent cannot guarantee success.

If those with inferior talent have less than a 0.5% chance of becoming wizards, then those with superior talent have a chance of between 20% and 30%.

This seemed ridiculously low to Xia Jian.

He had an odds of becoming a knight that were so low, it even seemed a bit easy, and he became a high-ranking knight in less than a year.

Moreover, the items needed for advancement are controlled by major powers, and ordinary wizard apprentices don't even have the qualifications to obtain advancement items.

……

The next day, in the morning.

At the entrance of the cottage.

"I'm leaving now. Since you're a wizard apprentice, consider this as payment for your stay here."

Xia Jian took out a magic stone that the old woman had mentioned from his pocket and handed it over; it was a blue stone.

Although all the magic stones had been stolen by the big fish, Xia Jian still kept a dozen or so magic stones for lighting.

"I have a favor to ask of you, young man. I wonder if you could do me a favor?"

The old woman bent down slightly, her face full of helplessness.

Xia Jian raised an eyebrow slightly: "They're here!"

Yesterday, the old woman answered all his questions, and he immediately felt something was off.

There aren't that many good people in the world. Xia Jian didn't sleep all night, fearing that this kind old woman might have some ulterior motives towards him.

"My time is coming to an end. Since you want to pursue the path of a wizard, I hope you can also help me bring my daughter to the Temple of Illusion."

The old woman patted the little girl's head and sighed.

Upon hearing the old woman's request, Xia Jian couldn't help but widen his eyes.

What is that?

daughter?

Could it be that I spent too long in the Sea of ​​Death and my mental state is deteriorating, causing me to experience auditory hallucinations?

In Xia Jian's eyes, the old woman looked at least 60 years old, especially since she had said yesterday that she was over 100 years old.

On the other hand, the little girl looks about six or seven years old. You would say she's your daughter?

Seemingly sensing Xia Jian's thoughts, the old woman's face flushed an unnatural red.

"Don't worry about so much. As long as you help me bring her to the Temple of Illusion, you can join the Temple of Illusion with this token."

The old woman handed Xia Jian a silver engraved pendant.

However, there was still one question in his mind: whether or not Xia Jian could join depended on his qualifications.

Upon hearing that he could join a wizarding faction, Xia Jian immediately straightened up, adopted a serious attitude, and patted his chest confidently: "No problem, leave it to me, I guarantee I'll complete the mission perfectly!"

Taking care of the little girl was just a side thing; what if the old woman had some connections in the Illusionary Heart Temple?

These days, interpersonal relationships may not be necessary, but they are indispensable; to put it simply, it's good to have a powerful backer.

He now has only a superficial understanding of the wizarding world, which may help him avoid some detours.

After receiving Xia Jian's assurance, the old woman nodded in satisfaction and gave Xia Jian two magic stones and some gold coins as a token of her gratitude.

As for magic and such, the Illusionary Heart Temple does not allow it to be passed on to outsiders, which makes Xia Jian quite helpless.

However, these are their regulations, and protecting intellectual property rights is the right thing to do.

Once I have the strength, I'll go and take over from these people, letting them know that progress only comes through sharing.

…………

After saying goodbye to the old woman, Xia Jian set off on her journey with the little girl.

Unfortunately, the little girl was mute, which made things much quieter for Xia Jian. All the way, the little girl only needed to listen to Xia Jian speak.

After holding it in for months, Xia Jian finally found someone he couldn't argue with, so he naturally wanted to talk his mind.

Finally, just as the little girl was painfully covering her ears, the two successfully arrived at Tamaria, the city closest to the Ussant Mountains.

Similar to the city where Xia Jian had been before, there were no groundbreaking high-tech items.

For wizards, there is a fundamental difference between them and ordinary people. Therefore, many people have begun to regard humans not as their fellow human beings, but as cattle and sheep that can be slaughtered at will.

Summer strolled around the city, eating, drinking, and having fun with the little girl along the way, and finally found a hotel to stay in as evening approached.

…………

night.

Summer sits on the first floor of the hotel, drinking tea and enjoying her leisure time alone.

Just then, two women dressed in black robes and one woman dressed in flamboyant attire walked in.

The three of them exuded an imposing aura, immediately bossing the waiters around as if they were their servants.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?"

Seeing Xia Jian staring at them, one of the women shook her alluring body and scolded them with an annoyed expression.

"I'm sorry, it was my fault."

Xia Jian immediately lowered his head and apologized, but a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

If Xia Jian hadn't sensed that these three possessed considerable mental strength, he would have already struck each of them with his sword, letting them taste the flavor of death.

Judging from Chong's arrogant and domineering demeanor, as well as his considerable mental strength, he must be a wizard.

However, judging from his age of under thirty, he is more likely an apprentice.

Seeing that Xia Jian immediately bowed his head and admitted his mistake, the woman lost the will to continue the conversation. She simply snorted and sat down to eat.

At this moment, one of the men in black robes kept glancing at Xia Jian and began whispering to the other two.

Xia Jian saw everything, but did nothing out of line.
