Time flies, two years have passed.
Two years, more than 700 natural days in the Wizarding Continent, is enough for the newcomers at Black Sota Wizarding Academy to have a lot of things happen.
Green silently took the broom and carefully cleaned every corner of the library. This was a part-time job in the academy that Green found through the Blood Sails Alliance, and he was paid two magic stones every month. Don't underestimate this part-time job. I don't know how many people were trying to get it, but in the end, Lafite helped Green get it through the Blood Sail Alliance.
Four magic stones per month, it stands to reason that during the three-year protection period of the academy, a newcomer like Green, who is not bad in qualifications and intelligence, can grow into a magic apprentice, but...
"Am I wrong?" Green frowned and was in a bad mood.
In the past two years and more, Green has only learned one witchcraft, and that is the preliminary transformation of nose hunting. Originally, this witchcraft Green had been completed half a year after entering the academy. According to the normal path for a newcomer, he should seize all the time to obtain magic stones and learn new witchcraft while meditating continuously. This is four yuan a month for Green. In terms of income from the Magic Stone, it should have been easily ahead of most newcomers.
But!
At the time, Green didn't want to just follow the steps in the magic book to complete the witchcraft. Instead, he wanted to study the mysterious principles and analyze the true meaning, so he wasted precious time. For example, through two years of research on nose hunting, Green gained an ambiguous knowledge: Why does nose hunting transformation not belong to blood witchcraft
However, what's the use
Could this so-called knowledge make Green stronger enough to pass the trial a year later
Give me endless knowledge, and I will use myself as the fulcrum to move the endless world. Is knowledge really so important? am I wrong
It's no wonder that Green is getting more and more confused, it's all because the three-year rookie protection period is about to expire. At that time, the academy's terrifying trial exams will begin, followed by the biennial mandatory missions.
Through the last class of wizard apprentices, Green knew that the so-called trial examination was actually a life-and-death test for the academy to select qualified newcomers. During the trial, the mortality rate for newcomers who have not mastered three witchcraft skills and become wizard apprentices is over 90%, and even for wizard apprentices, the mortality rate is around 40%.
It was so cruel that the trial examination was called a bloody millstone by the older generation of wizard apprentices.
"no… "
Mu Ran, a shrill scream came out in the library. Green was startled and ran quickly to the place where the scream came. At this time, four or five people were already surrounding him, but they all just stood there numbly, not paying attention to that person. A man rolling desperately on the ground.
Green stepped forward and his pupils shrank: "Lin Xun!"
This sorcerer apprentice who was rolling desperately on the ground was named Lin Xun. He was one of the first batch of newbies to become sorcerer apprentices in this generation, and he was very famous. And because he is beautiful, there are many male wizard apprentices who secretly admire him.
However, this Linxun has a "shortcoming", that is, she refuses to cultivate companion insects. This is easy to understand. After all, as far as ordinary people's mentality is concerned, it is definitely a terrifying thing to have yourself or even your body covered with messy bugs. Even Green was quite resistant to this matter.
The so-called companion bugs are the wizard's initial use of soul power. They allocate their power to certain bugs with specific functions, and then evolve as the bugs continue to eat the blood of powerful creatures. Although companion insects also have considerable enemy-defending functions, their fundamental function is to increase the wizard's resistance to curses, witchcraft, and illusions.
Green looked at Lin Xuan, who was wailing in pain, and sighed. Another wizard apprentice was about to die a painful death here.
In the past two years, Green has seen too many people who died under this curse. This is also one of the most difficult methods of killing in the academy to be traced by law enforcement teams. Green even had some malicious thoughts in his heart, wondering how Lin Xun died. Was it because countless carnivorous insects crawled out of her body and gnawed her into a skeleton, or was it because her blood dried up into a solid substance and she died of suffocation? Or is it just like the guy last time, his physiological functions were exhausted instantly and he became a mummy
The screams became more and more tragic, and Green could smell a burning smell keenly.
Lin Xuan, who had dark red skin, finally fell down weakly. At the same time, her body shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the bones that made her body had completely melted and she had lost her support point. Half a minute later, Linxun gradually turned into ashes from the inside out, but the clothes she was wearing were spread out on the ground intact. It seemed that Linxun's body was taken away by an inexplicable force. The scene was strange. Extremely.
"The curse of spontaneous combustion of the body, a very advanced curse..." A wizard apprentice in front of Green muttered to himself, and then left as if nothing happened. Over the years, he has seen too many newcomers killed by the curse, and he has become accustomed to it.
Generally speaking, the most number of "accidental" deaths occur in the academy between the first three years of a newcomer's life and the period between the trial and examination.
Green's back felt a little cold, even though he had seen this scene of being cursed to death many times, because he didn't know when he would be like the other person.
Of course, there must be a condition for being cursed, that is, the wizard's body information has been stolen by others. The so-called body information is likely to be a drop of blood, a nail, or even a hair. Legend has it that the most advanced curse masters can even indirectly obtain certain weak body codes from items that others have touched.
At night, the Blood Sail Alliance gathered.
The former ruling structure of the Five Heavenly Kings is no longer there, and now the Blood Sail Alliance is led by twelve alliance elders. The former five heavenly kings, except for the Fireball King and the Muppet King who did not become alliance elders due to "accidental" deaths, the other three kings have all become alliance elders, and the other nine are beings who later caught up with superhuman talents.
Lafite, Yorkis, Yorklianna, Bin Johnson, and Green were still sitting together, but although the friendship between the five of them remained, Green felt a little inexplicably sad.
Yorkis whispered: "Green, Lafite brought us some gains in the Thorny Forest last week. Although it was dangerous, almost everyone got seven magic stones. How about it? Do you want to come this time?" "
Green pretended not to care and lowered his head: "Forget it, you know, I'm of no use at all now. I won't help you, but I will hinder you. Even..." Green glanced at Yokeliana: "Even Now, your sister is much better than me."
Green knew that Yokeriana had learned three witchcrafts and became a wizard apprentice. Moreover, these three witchcrafts are all auxiliary witchcrafts, which are of great help to Yokeris. Together, the two of them can even defeat some elder-level wizard apprentices in the alliance!
"Green, don't hold on! If you continue like this, you will form a vicious cycle. Do you want to be mediocre for the rest of your life?" Lafite finally lost his temper and looked into Green's eyes and said anxiously, his voice a little anxious.
Because everyone knows that there will be a cruel test in a year. Almost no one in the Blood Sail Alliance takes any chances and is seizing every moment to improve their strength.
"I… "
Green was hesitating when a voice interrupted Green.
This is a bearded male wizard apprentice named Amiida. He is one of the twelve elders of the Blood Sail Alliance at this time. He is also a loyal pursuer of Lafite and possesses extremely high witchcraft talents. Amiida said: "Stop talking. When you think you are helping a friend, don't you think about his self-esteem? You seem to be generous, but how is it different from giving alms?"
After saying that, Amiida turned around and said to Green with a sincere smile: "It doesn't matter, you are Lafite's friend, that is, my friend Amiida, no matter how weak you are, whether it is me or the alliance, I won’t abandon you.”
"Yes, yes, Brother Green, as long as you have difficulties, you can call me at any time, and I...I will definitely do my best to help you." Yoklianna said timidly.
Green looked at the sincerity of everyone and tried hard to keep a "grateful" smile on his face. It seemed that only in this way could he show his happiness and appreciate what they had done for him. However, Green felt stabbing pains in his heart, as if someone was stabbing the weakest part of Green's heart with a knife.
Yes, Zeng Jing’s friends all look at her from the perspective of a successful person and help her. But now, Amiida, who once had no idea who she was in the Blood Sail Alliance, has used the generosity and broad-mindedness of a successful person to understand Green's mood, understand Green's pain, and take care of Green's thoughts.
All of this deeply hurt Green's heart.
One of the Twelve Elders loudly announced the internal information of the alliance on the high platform of the assembly: "Now, our Bloodsail Alliance has ranked fifth among all the apprentice organizations of Black Sotta Wizard Academy in terms of comprehensive ability, and the top four are all old ones. An organization passed down from generations of wizard apprentices, so I congratulate the Alliance on such impressive achievements."
"We now have 217 official members of the Blood Sail Alliance. Among them, 205 have officially become wizard apprentices. Seventeen wizard apprentices have been recognized by the great wizard and have become direct disciples. We have obtained the great wizard for these Congratulations to those who have recognized it, and encouragement to the newcomers who are still in their infancy. I hope everyone will encourage us together and carry forward the organization!"
Amiida smiled and kept waving to the people around her who were congratulating her. He was one of the seventeen wizard apprentices recognized by wizards in the alliance. But Green lowered his head and looked at everything around him quietly. Occasionally, someone he knew encouraged Green, saying something like believing that Green would definitely become a wizard apprentice. Green's heart was twisted once, but he had to Keep smiling in front of you.
Green kept asking himself over and over again, am I really wrong
After the rally ended, Bin Johnson and Green were alone on the road. For a long time, Bin Johnson was silent.
"Ah! Who the heck is Amida? He actually said that Lafite is your friend, and he is your friend. It seems that we should fawn over him more. He also said that he will not give up on you, and neither will the alliance. Will give up, does he think he represents the alliance? When the five heavenly kings founded the Blood Sail Alliance, you were present and one of the original members. He is at best a second-generation member, and now he is telling you this as a veteran of the alliance. If so, bah..."
Finally, Bin Johnson, who had been silent all this time, suddenly broke out.
"That bastard thinks that Lafite is just an ordinary friend with you? He has no idea how you saved Lafite when the sea monster attacked, nor does he know that Lafite's relationship with us is not his two years at all. The hospitality can’t be matched…”
Green looked at this friend in confusion. There had been countless times when Green had disliked his friend who was too wordy. But at this time, Green's eyes were moist: "Thank you, Bin Johnson, I want to be quiet." Green turned around to hide his vulnerability.
Bing Johnson didn't say anything more, patted Green on the shoulder and left.
Green walked alone in silence, recalling everything in the past two years. From when he first came to Black Soft Tower Wizarding Academy, to when he thought he had discovered some big secret and devoted himself to studying so-called "knowledge", to now, he was in such a state of despair.
Unknowingly, Green came to the tunnel entrance of the Heisuo Mountains. In that quiet and remote corner, a weathered and dilapidated boulder stood there quietly, allowing time to wash away and pass by without wavering.
Green raised his head and looked at the boulder that had changed his attitude toward fate. Not knowing what he was feeling, he read it silently again: "Give me endless knowledge, and I will use myself as the fulcrum to move the endless world." He smiled with self-deprecation. , at this moment, Green suddenly felt that he was naive and ignorant. He was possessed by a mere heroic statement from an ancient wizard, and even made such a gamble on his life.
If I were like those wizard apprentices and worked hard to learn one witchcraft after another, regardless of the bullshit knowledge and principles involved, I would have become a wizard apprentice and even an elder of the alliance by now, right
The ancient wizard who uttered these heroic words must have been a powerful being standing at the top of the world, but what did he mean? Want to imitate the sages ignorantly
Seemingly giving up on himself, Green wanted to leave silently, but as Green glanced at the boulder for the last time in a strange way, he seemed to feel something at this moment, and his body suddenly shook.
"Give me endless knowledge, and I will use myself as the fulcrum to leverage the endless world... leverage the endless world, but who gives me endless knowledge as a lever? Knowledge is hard to find..." At this moment, Green actually felt that this sentence had once His seemingly ambitious words were actually filled with deep helplessness, as if the ancient wizard was secretly resenting his inability to gain more knowledge. The road to gaining knowledge was always filled with countless thorns, bumps, and difficulties. It can even make people feel hopeless, powerless, and want to give up.
A sense of sadness began to permeate Green's will, as if he was comprehending the pain of the great wizard.
Standing quietly, motionless.
I don't know how long it took, but Green suddenly raised his head and strode towards his cabin. At this moment, Green seemed to be reborn, and an unwavering faith was born in Green. You must stick to the path and truth you choose!
This is a path of pursuing knowledge and truth and never giving up, even if this path is filled with despair and death, don’t be willing to step on the footsteps of others forever.
