Wizard: I can predict the future

Markov felt he was right.

After all, the natives of the West Sea Islands have only been at the academy for a short time, so it's normal that they don't know the value of fifty magic stones.

"Norde Blank, you need to understand."

"Many second-level wizard apprentices can't even earn fifty magic stones a month."

"Furthermore, as your abilities improve, we will also increase your compensation."

Nord remained calm, simply looking at him indifferently.

"Wizard Markov, I'm still more used to being alone."

After a moment of silence, Markov took back the funding agreement.

"If you ever change your mind in the future, you can come to the Thorn Cauldron to find me."

He did not force him further.

In his eyes, the natives like Nord, who were clearly in a high position deep in the Sili Sea Islands, had not yet adapted to the new mentality.

When you run into trouble later, you'll naturally regret it.

Moreover, although the opponent's talent is comparable to that of a fourth-tier wizard on the bloodline side, it is ultimately only a second-tier wizard talent.

Nord did not linger in the store but left directly.

The moment he stepped out the door.

A figure suddenly rushed in front of Markov.

"Lord Markov Wizard, I...I am willing to sign a sponsorship agreement with the Thorn Family!"

Markov frowned and took a few steps back.

He looked the other person up and down.

He has information on all the wizard trainees in the Silihai Islands who possess wizarding talent of level three or higher.

He had no recollection of the person in front of him.

"roll!"

His tone was cold, showing no patience whatsoever.

The boy acted as if he hadn't heard, and instead took an even more eager step forward.

"I only need thirty... no, twenty magic stones a month."

Markov's expression turned completely cold.

Looking at the boy who was still approaching.

Unable to hold back any longer, the magic power within his body erupted instantly, and an invisible pressure spread out with a bang.

boom!

The boy was blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground.

For a moment, everything around fell silent.

Markov withdrew his gaze, his expression indifferent.

"With your talent, sending you to the Thorn Clan would just be a waste of resources."

Although he appeared friendly, it was merely a businessman's social maneuvering.

He could lower himself to invest in a worthwhile wizarding apprentice, but he would never be polite to someone who lacked self-awareness and was always pushing his luck.

Nord looked at the boy lying at his feet, his chest heaving violently, trying several times to get up but failing.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally reached out and helped the other person up.

The boy used the support to steady himself.

His robes were somewhat worn, and although he was still breathing, he showed no signs of embarrassment.

It wasn't him who was blasted away just now.

The young man before them was clearly not of noble birth.

However, Nord didn't want to delve into the reasons behind the other party's actions.

He let go of her hand and turned to leave.

I walked straight to the other side of the street to a smaller magical plant shop.

An hour later.

He returned to his dormitory.

Nord looked at the six magic stones in his arms, and a thought arose in his mind.

He now seems to need to find a stable source of magic stones as soon as possible.

Otherwise, progress in potion studies would be extremely difficult.

Moreover, there is no moonflower, and no extraction tools.

Even if he chooses to perform the simulation, the final result will only be failure.

The deduction, from beginning to end, is based on the conditions he possesses and the known information, and is an extension and refinement.

If the starting point of the deduction is missing.

Therefore, no matter how many times the deduction is performed, the final result will be the same.

After all, once the research objective is focused on the extraction of magical plants...

During the simulation, he would only focus on the technology itself and would not be distracted by the problem of how to earn magic stones to buy materials.

As for using deduction to find ways to earn magic stones...

Nord quickly dismissed the idea.

This direction is too general, and the results are unclear.

Moreover, given his current situation, there probably won't be a good outcome.

I pondered for a long time.

Nord's gaze finally settled on the Ember Forest.

Similarly, it is also known as the Forest of Trials by the wizarding apprentices of the academy.

This forest is located south of Ash Academy, and it is the same dense forest he saw from the airship.

The forest is home to a large number of plants and magical creatures that can be used to make potions, and it is one of the places where wizard apprentices in the academy can earn magic stones.

But opportunities are often accompanied by risks.

Within this dense forest, magical creatures with strength comparable to apprentices lurk.

There are even rumors that deep within the dense forest, there exists a being comparable to a formal wizard.

Nord pondered the feasibility of the plan.

On the outskirts of the Ember Forest, the magical creatures are roughly equivalent to third-level wizard apprentices.

With his current strength, as long as he doesn't encounter two or three at the same time, even if he is no match for them, he can still escape unscathed.

With that thought in mind, he no longer hesitated.

He has to get the college points.

But you must not go there rashly.

To do a good job, one must first have the right tools.

He closed his eyes.

My mind is focused on the control panel.

"Deduction direction: Basic knowledge of potion science."

Time seemed to stretch out.

It was compressed again.

[In the first month, you meticulously studied "Introduction to Basic Magical Plants of the Southern Region, Part 1," repeatedly memorizing and comparing the illustrations, engraving the form and characteristics of each magical plant into your mind.]

[In the second month, you turn to "Introduction to Basic Creatures of the Southern Region, Part 1," and begin to distinguish the habits and danger levels of different demonic creatures.]

……

In the twelfth month, you opened "Common Excipients and Stabilizers" and organized and summarized various purification methods, stabilization ratios, and conflicting reactions.

The simulation is complete.

A massive amount of information flooded into my mind instantly.

Countless images, formulas, and drug ratios intertwined and recombinated in my mind.

Nord swayed slightly.

I don't know how much time passed before my breathing finally calmed down again.

In this simulation, he has mastered all nine basic magic potion books.

It's not just about watching, but about truly mastering it.

There was no stopping.

He sank back into the panel.

"Deduction direction: Optimized version of Lesser Lightning Bolt."

In the first month, you attempted to replicate the sorcery model described by Professor Luca in your mental energy field.

However, you have no idea what many of these elemental runes mean.

In the second month, you abandoned the forced construction and instead started learning the "Basic Runes of the Wind Element".

You marvel at the sheer size and complexity of the 18,000 runes in the book.

[In the fourth month, you have gained a deep understanding of the basic runes of the wind element.]

[In the fifth month, you successfully sketched out a witchcraft model in your mental sea.]

Lesser Lightning Bolt, successfully cast.

[You continue your in-depth study of the elemental runes in the sorcery model]

……

[In December, you have a sufficient understanding of the sorcery model of Lesser Lightning Spell]

The simulation is complete.

Nord slowly opened his eyes.

The fingertips trembled slightly.

At this moment, he only needs a thought to construct a magical model in his mental sea and release a minor lightning spell.

Lesser Lightning Bolt (Level 2, 0 Ring): Mastery

[Source: 66.9]

Panel proficiency is divided into six levels: beginner, proficient, intermediate, advanced, advanced, and perfect.

His gaze fell on the word "Master" on the panel.

not enough.

The next moment, he closed his eyes again.

Make a decision.

"Continue the deduction, Lesser Lightning Spell."
