"I can't tell you what happened because of the confidentiality agreement. ”

Standing in place, Edith was dressed in a white robe, and her face looked a little gloomy at this time: "I can only tell you that there are very terrible things in the secret realm, and all the participating academies have suffered heavy losses, and even the dean is now seriously injured and has barely escaped from the secret realm."

"According to our later analysis, it is very likely that that the secret realm is not used to cultivate resources, but is specifically used to ban something. ”

"This..."

Standing in place, listening to Edith's words, Adil was already frozen.

He didn't know what the strength of the dean of the Uraldo Academy was, but when he thought about it, he understood that he was definitely far above the average official wizard, at least the existence of a second-level wizard.

The power of such existence was unimaginable for Adiel, but he was also injured in the secret realm, and even after listening to Edith's meaning, he barely escaped back.

"What's in that secret realm?" In an instant, this thought flashed through his heart, and then a wave of fear and happiness appeared.

Such a dangerous secret realm, if you had chosen to enter it in the first place, I am afraid that the end would not be much better now.

"The Legacy of the Ancient Wizards..."

Standing in place, looking at Adil, Edith sighed softly, with a deep sigh.

"You don't have to worry too much for the time being. ”

"That secret realm itself has a very powerful seal, and it has been strengthened by the seals of several academies, so it will not have any impact on us in a short period of time. ”

Quietly staring at Adier's handsome face, Edith was a little relieved: "It's you, now you have reached the standard of promotion to third-class apprentice, right?"

She asked with a smile, apparently seeing the mental fluctuations in Adiel's body.

For this, Adil was not surprised, and bowed directly and said: "I have already met the criteria for promotion a few months ago, but I have been dragging it out, and I am ready to be promoted after returning to the academy." ”

Standing where he was, he said truthfully.

"You're right. ”

Edith nodded: "There are few wizard resources in this area of the Southern Continent, and the only resource points either belong to a few wizarding organizations, or belong to some powerful wizard families. If you choose to be promoted outside, you will waste at least a few years of your time without the resources to assist in the promotion. ”

"And it's a good time for you to come back now. ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly laughed.

"What do you say?" Raising his head slightly, looking at the tall mentor in front of him, Adil asked suspiciously.

"The college will be moving soon. ”

Under Adiel's gaze, Edith uttered shocking news.

"What!" Adil had a shocked look on his face again, "Has the matter become so serious?"

The establishment of a wizarding organization is not a simple matter, which not only requires the creation of various large-scale witch arrays with terrifying resources, but also requires suitable resource points around.

Although the Southern Continent is barren, there are still some resources on it, but once you leave the Southern Continent, it will be difficult to find a suitable place.

Not to mention anything else, the places with resource points on the continents are either occupied by people, or they are too dangerous, and it is difficult to find suitable bases to establish again.

"This is a joint decision of the academy's top management..."

Speaking of this, Edith's eyes were a little gloomy: "It's not just our Uraldo Academy, but several wizarding organizations that participated in the development of the secret realm together this time have basically made the same decision as us. ”

"After discussion, we decided to move out of the area together and explore the unexplored areas to try to establish new resource points. ”

Hearing the news, Adil was a little silent.

Through some ancient texts, Adil understood that the world was actually very large. On an incomparably large map, the gathering places of wizards are scattered across the entire map like fragments, isolated by large uncharted areas, making it difficult to communicate.

There are very terrifying dangers in the unknown area, not only can there be inheritors of various ancient bloodlines, all kinds of pollutants, but also some powerful pollution left over from ancient times, even official wizards will find it tricky.

And now, it is clear that several wizarding organizations are preparing to abandon the original resource points and go to those unknown areas to open up new resource points.

Not to mention whether this approach can succeed or not, even if it succeeds, it will inevitably cost a huge price, and it is likely that the academy that is on the right track will decline all of a sudden, and it will take a long time to recover.

"Now that the academy has decided to evacuate, most of the current batch of apprentices in the academy, except for the second- and third-class apprentices, need to be dismissed. ”

Standing in place, looking at Adiel, Edith continued to speak: "In addition, after the secret realm incident, the number of high-level apprentices in the academy has suddenly decreased a lot. An apprentice like you, Adier, who may be promoted to a full-fledged wizard in the future, will be the focus of the academy from now on, and the intensity of training will be much greater than before. ”

Listening to her words, Adil nodded in understanding.

For the academy, since it has decided to go to an unknown region to explore, it will inevitably face many difficulties in the next period of time, and it is likely that it will not be able to take care of the apprenticeship in a short period of time.

Except for the fact that the first-class apprentices are stronger than ordinary people in terms of mental strength, the rest of the places are similar to ordinary people, and they can only be a burden for the various academies that are about to be relocated to other regions, except for some of them with excellent qualifications who may be brought with them, and there is no surprise that the rest will be dismissed.

On the other hand, second-class apprentices and third-class apprentices are not only reserves for official wizards, but also have good strength in their own right, and even if the academy is relocated, they will inevitably be brought together.

However, after the forced recruitment of the previous academy, the number of high-level apprentices in the academy is not very large, and it is not surprising that apprentices like Adil who may be promoted to official wizards are focused on training by the academy during this time.

"But... Personally, in the current situation, I don't expect you to make such a choice. ”

Edith let out a sigh: "If you want to be cultivated by the academy and get enough resources for promotion from the academy, you must sign a contract with the academy, and you must serve the academy for at least a hundred years." ”

"This price is okay in normal times, although a hundred years is a long time, but it is nothing for a formal wizard. However, in this case, it may be a bit dangerous. ”

Adil could naturally understand what she meant.

The lifespan of a formal wizard is at least three hundred years, and if you use some potions, or even human body modification and other means, it is not too difficult to live for five or six hundred years, although a hundred years is a little longer, but it is acceptable.

However, the academy is now about to explore unknown territories, and even official wizards may encounter various dangers along the way. In this case, the cost of signing a contract with the academy is far greater than usual.

For the average apprentice, though, they have no choice. In order to be promoted to a full-fledged wizard, even if you know the danger, you must sign a contract with the academy.

Thinking of this, listening to Edith's words in front of him, Adil thought thoughtfully, but a puzzled expression appeared on his face: "However, if you don't sign a contract with the academy, how can you get the resources to be promoted to an official wizard?"

"This brings me to my next proposal. ”

Listening to Adiel's doubts, Edith had a smile on her face: "I don't know if Adil has any plans to become my student?"

"It's my pleasure!" Hearing Edith's words, Adiel's face suddenly turned happy.

A student is not the same thing as an apprentice. The latter is just a task assigned by the academy to a mentor, which is essentially closer to a task and a transaction, while the former represents a true inheritance relationship, which is closer in every sense of the word.

"Good. ”

Looking at Adiel, Edith nodded, then turned around and walked to the side room.

After a while, under Adier's gaze, she had an extra black box in her hand and placed it directly on the red wooden table in front of Adiel.

When the black box was opened, there were three things inside, a crimson, egg-like oval crystal. A pale blue crystal. There was also a bottle of potion that radiated a blue glow and was constantly flowing in the glass bottle as if it had life.

Facing Adier's puzzled gaze, she first lifted the oval crystal that looked like an egg and was crimson as a whole: "The crystal fossil eggs of the Ancient Feathered Bird can be used to assist in the promotion of third-class apprentices. ”

After saying this, she didn't pause at all, and continued to pick up another bottle of Bise, as if it had a potion of life: "The sap of the ancient thorn tree, this is one of the few things that can assist in breaking through the official wizard, and the effect is very good. ”

"As for the last one, it represents a first-level spell template. ”

Looking at Adiel, Edith said quietly, "As my student, I can provide you with a first-level spell for free. But the other two things, even for me, are very dear,"

"If you want to get these two things, even if you are my student, you have to pay the price. ”

"I understand. ”

Listening to Edith's words, Adil nodded very understandingly, and then took a deep breath: "May I ask how many magic stones I need to pay?"

"You don't have to give anything. ”

However, to Adil's surprise, after listening to his words, Edith in front of him shook her head: "I only need one promise from you." ”

"Promise?" Adil wondered. 8)
