Age of Adepts

“Chip, compare mental changes before and after I exercise! ”

“Drop, subject body basic data are: strength 2, 8 agility 1, 3 physique 3, 9 spirit 6...”

Grimm couldn't help narrowing his eyes when he saw this data.

He remembers very clearly that his mental strength was at 7: 00. Doesn't that mean that after a mental exercise, his mental strength didn't rise and fall, and he dropped by 1 point? This...

While he was thinking, the information on the chip tip continued.

“… the main mental threshold is raised, the mental strength is raised, the fire element affinity is raised, the existing mental state and physical fitness are uncoordinated… It is expected that the phenomenon will end in 127 hours, 36 minutes and 54 seconds, in the process, the constant release of the fire element by the main body is required to stimulate the change of the body…”

“… it is estimated that the same frequency of mental state and physical fitness will result in an increase in mental strength of 1, 17 points for the subject…”

If you lose 1 point and increase by 1 or 17 points, doesn't that mean you have a lot of mental growth? And this spiritual exercise, the greatest change for Grimm, is not the growth of spiritual power, but his affinity for fire elements.

This is a huge boost to his talented potential, a boost that will wake him up in his dreams!

After all, the high and low spiritual power only determines how quickly he can release a few witchcraft now, while the talent potential determines how far he can go in the future and whether he has the potential to advance to the second level.

That's what he really cares about!

After all, however, this change has been minor and requires continued insistence before significant improvements can be made. So what Grimm needs to do now is run this Fire Throne Witch Tower and stick around for years, waiting for the day when the cocoon breaks out.

…………

Grimm had just returned to the witch tower and received a request for a meeting, which turned out to be Kodar, who had just returned to Federnand.

Grim met Kodal at his residence on the 4th floor.

The purpose of his visit, however, was to deliver a handwritten letter from Merrill, which made it clear that the Sarubo family was now apparently somewhat wary of the Grimm lineage. Not only have they been suppressed implicitly in the distribution of resources and the transfer of materials, but even the mandatory tasks chosen within the family have become increasingly dangerous.

And the Yashi family, another moderate family in the near and eastern parts of the family, also confronted each other violently over the death of a quasi-witch apprentice. Several senior apprentices from the Grimm family were deployed there, and the friction between the two sides was very intense and could even rise to the point of family war.

And the information Merrill received through covert channels suggests that Grimm is likely to be reassigned to the nearest family resource point to the conflict point in the near future.

At that time, Grimm will inevitably be involved in a family war!

Reading the letter, thinking slowly...

For a long time, Grimm gently placed the letter on the wooden table, tapped the table with his fingers and turned to Kodal.

“Is that all?” Grimm asked puzzled, "Meryl shouldn't have sent you on this trip if that's all. Is there anything else? ”

Now that the enchantment inside the Flame Throne is fully equipped, if anything really changes in Federnand City, Merrill will definitely notify Grimm by witchcraft the first time, without having to send a quasi-witch like Pykodar on this trip.

“Teacher, I'm going to try again soon..." Kodahl said tough.

Grimm tapped his fingers slightly on the table.

“Are you all set? ”

“Yes! The resources I need, my family of origin, are ready for me. Probably, I plan to try again next week...”

Grimm was silent for a moment and the blue flashes slightly in his black eyes, almost instantly detecting Kodal's basic data.

Kodal, Human Quasi-Witch, Male, Talented Affinity: Dark Elements, Body: Power 0, 3 Agility 0, 4 Physique 0, 4 Spirit 0, 9.

Kodal is the oldest and most aristocratic of all Grimm disciples. He comes from a wonderful family with a hundred and a hundred miles of rich territory in the middle of the continent and is considered a royal nobility of a small principality.

That was precisely what the Sarubo family saw back then, when a number of potential apprentices were recruited into his family. And his family is one of Sarubo's affiliates.

However, good origins did not bring him good luck.

It has been thirteen years since Kodal became a quasi-woman. During this time, he also tried a promotion ritual, which unfortunately failed!

So his surface data seems to have met the basic requirements of holding a promotion wizard ritual, but... Grimm found through a full scan of the chip that his life scent was dark grey. This amply demonstrates that the loss of life caused to him by the last failed promotion ceremony was not fully repaired and adjusted. Trying to advance again in this state gives a high success rate of not less than 16% after chip detection.

Grimm, who had gone through the promotion ceremony, was well aware that the so-called wizard promotion was an effort to muster the core of consciousness in the space of consciousness with the power of the rules he was good at. And this process is extremely depleting its own energy reserves!

The process of condensing the nucleus of consciousness is very long and requires a great deal of energy throughout. At first, of course, the energy reserves of the promoters themselves are consumed, and once the energy reserves are insufficient, the ritual consumes the talented potential of the promoters. If the talent potential is not enough, then the next burn will be vitality.

So the last failure severely lost Kodal's potential and greatly reduced his vitality.

If he's properly maintained, there's nothing wrong with living another 70 or 80 years. But if he wants to fight a promotion wizard in this state, his best chance is to run out of life and burn directly over the promotion ritual.

16% success rate!

This is the conclusion that the chip combines various factors, and Kodal himself may find it difficult to know his success rate so precisely. He would only vaguely know that his success rate was low, but to what extent, it was difficult to be sure.

Of course, the bigger possibility is that no matter how low the success rate is, he's probably willing to try it.

After all, in a world dominated by witches, the gap between quasi-witches and witches is still too great!

This is actually the only ending for all apprentices on the wizard path.

If you don't bite your teeth through a hard time, you can only fall sadly halfway.

Grimm hesitated for a moment and did not tell Kodal his judgment.

Since he chose to visit himself before the promotion ceremony, he implicitly meant ‘goodbye’. He had to face this step, whether it was his own choice or the pressure of his family of origin.

That being the case, anything more Grimm says will only weaken his fighting spirit, rather than making him fight for that 16% chance of winning.

Thinking down, Grimm took a bottle of turquoise medicine out of his lumbar bag and handed it to Kodal.

“Here you go, it's a bottle of advanced vitality restoration medicine. Drink it if you can't stand it when you're moving up in the ranks, it might help you! ”

This sophisticated drug is worth thousands of magic crystals and belongs to the wizard hierarchy of therapeutic witchcraft drugs that do not usually appear on the market at all. The average wizard sees a treasure and collects it in case he saves a small life at a critical moment.

Without qualified pharmacists like Grimm, it would be difficult to acquire this grade of life-saving witch medicine even with Grimm's power.

Kodal's face raised with gratitude, silently accepted it, and then bowed deeply to Grimm, which slowly walked out.

Grimm had a feeling that this was the last time he saw Kodal when the door to his residence was slowly closing!

…………

Destiny tower.

The door slowly opened in front of her, Alice in a purple star robe walked on the corridor of destiny, and Helen the Little Magic Elf flied over and down her ears like a nagging housewife, unable to help report anything.

The glow of the star dots pulled a beautiful light belt behind her.

Witchcraft apprentices encountered along the way hid beside each other to bow and salute them. They were all carrying thick and thin books of witchcraft, and at first glance they were planning to rush to a witchcraft hall to listen to classes.

“Who's lecturing today? Chevy or Katrina?” Alice suddenly pinched a young witch apprentice with her finger and asked aloud.

This is a nine-year-old witch apprentice, a young face, a snow-white apprentice robe, who works hard with her hands to hold an amazing book of witchcraft. The side of the hard-skinned book engraves the words "Preliminary theory of astrology" in beautiful Aledo.

Because she is too young and too petite in shape, she also attracts the attention of others when she walks through the corridor in the arms of a book that is about to reach half its height.

“My Lord Alice, today's lecture is directed by Master Katrina!” Perhaps for the first time, he talked to such a big man as the Witch of Destiny, an elementary apprentice whose face was instantly red, and with some freckles on his nose, he could already see little sweat beads.

The Katrina witch is a vagrant witch who has come to surrender since the opening of the Fate Tower. Although she is of average strength, the basic work of the first-order witch is quite solid. And now Alice is not eligible to pick fat and lean, and whoever comes in, she takes it all in one piece, all in the Fate Tower.

“What's your name?” Alice was suddenly interested in this tense little witch apprentice.

“My name is Tiffany! ”
