Wizard Earl

Chapter 161 Intermediate Wizard Apprentice (1)

With George's help, the mortgage on the apartment went very smoothly. In just one week, George had taken care of all the formalities at the bank for Connor. Then Connor, Mr. Pjaca, and the Sanchez Bank sat down together and completed the mortgage loan involving tens of thousands of pounds.

Connor successfully became the true owner of his apartment, but in doing so, he also incurred a huge debt of nine thousand pounds to the Sanchez Bank, becoming a debtor!

"call··········"

Sitting cross-legged in his bedroom, Connor slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes revealing an undisguised excitement.

After resolving the apartment issue, he devoted all his energy to healing his psychological trauma.

"Chip, scan my mind to see if my mental trauma has fully healed?" Connor silently commanded in his mind.

"Beep! In accordance with the subject's will, the mission is established. Estimated completion time: 10 seconds... Mission complete. The mental trauma caused by the subject's overexertion of mental energy has been fully recovered without any aftereffects and will not affect the subject's breakthrough to the intermediate apprentice level!" A clear, cold female voice, which Connor knew all too well, rang in his mind.

A relaxed smile appeared on Connor's lips. He was overjoyed. The mental trauma that had plagued him was finally completely resolved. Now he could focus all his energy on breaking through his cultivation level without any interference.

Connor is currently at the peak of his junior wizard apprenticeship in terms of both magical power and mental strength. With the magical energy-gathering potion and other means given to him by Varga, Connor believes that he has at least a 50% chance of breaking through this time!

Thinking of this, Connor suppressed the smile on his face. He decided to strike while the iron was hot and not delay any longer. He would try to break through today, since he had already prepared everything to help him break through.

Evening

In the attic of the apartment's top floor, Connor laid out pieces of gleaming black metal in a certain pattern. As Connor's alchemical skills grew, he also began to study an important branch of Reyes Alchemy—alchemy arrays.

What Connor is doing now is setting up the "Dawn of the Spirit" alchemy array, which Reyes has improved. The so-called Dawn of the Spirit alchemy array is an alchemy array that has been passed down for a long time to help mental wizards break through. Activating the array can gather a large amount of pure energy in the array in a short time, and mental power can also be greatly enhanced in the array. It is a powerful tool for mental wizards to break through their cultivation.

However, the "Dawn of the Spirit" alchemical array that Connor has set up is not the original "Dawn of the Spirit," but a modified version by Reyes. The biggest difference between the two lies in their two key features: concealment and fusion!

According to the prevailing belief in the wizarding world, "Dawn of the Spirit" is an alchemical array passed down from the Byzantine era. In that era, wizarding civilization developed rapidly, and dark wizards were still in a state of freedom, so they did not need to worry about the energy changes caused when breaking through their cultivation levels.

As for Connor, he obviously couldn't ignore this. If he didn't deal with the energy anomaly brought about by his breakthrough, he would probably face the Storm Church's relentless pursuit even if he successfully broke through to become an intermediate wizard apprentice! Reyes's improved "Spiritual Dawn" alchemy array perfectly solved this problem. The array's built-in concealment function would completely cover up the energy anomaly.

As for the second characteristic of the improved "Spiritual Dawn," Connor couldn't help but ponder it deeply.

If the original "Dawn of the Spirit" was 100% helpful to wizards who only cultivated the spiritual attribute, then it was only 50% helpful to wizards like Connor who cultivated both the dark and spiritual attributes. However, after Reyes's improvement, the "Dawn of the Spirit" magic circle could also absorb other specific attribute energies from the world according to the user's command, thus providing the same 100% help to wizards who cultivated other attributes in the spiritual attribute!

Why is Connor pondering such a good improvement?

the reason is simple!

The key question is: why did Reyes want to improve it? Normally, people improve something because of need; they want the thing to satisfy their needs.

The first improved feature, concealment, is easy to understand, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble. As for the second feature, fusion, Connor remembered that Reyes once told him that he was a mental wizard like himself. Does the fact that he improved and added the fusion feature to the "Mental Dawn" magic circle mean that he, like Connor, is also cultivating other attributes in addition to mental wizardry?

Connor was thrilled to receive this news. He felt as if he had touched upon the secret between Reyes and him. Yes, even now Connor firmly believed that the reason his mentor had taken him under his wing and treated him so well was not simply because he wanted to pass on all his knowledge.

Behind Reyes' smile, there must be some ulterior motive. As for what he was scheming for, Connor didn't know. He could only hope that Reyes' scheme would be beneficial to him, or at least not harmful.

After setting up the last metal block, Connor smiled. Setting up an alchemy array is a task that tests a wizard's concentration; if one block is not set up properly, the entire array has to be started over.

Sitting in the center of the magic circle, Connor adjusted his physical and mental state to its best, and then solemnly began to chant the incantation in a low voice. As his incantation rang out, a mist rose strangely from the pavilion where he was, and as the mist rose, dark attribute energy and spiritual energy in the pavilion also gathered rapidly.

Connor took out a bottle of energy-gathering potion that Varga had made for him from his spatial ring and drank it all in one gulp!

Abundant!

This was Connor's only feeling right now! He felt full of energy, and he could almost hear seductive, mysterious whispers in his ears.

Although he had expected it, the appearance of these mysterious murmurs still made Connor tense up instantly. According to Reyes's cultivation notes, these murmurs were the temptations of some indescribable mysterious beings to wizards. Once they relaxed their vigilance and were tempted by these murmurs, they would either die or lose their will and become monsters that were neither human nor ghost!
