The door to the cabin was slammed open, and Al ran to the deck of the floating ship to take a deep breath, feeling more than he could be. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

For more than half a month on the ship, Al has been studying the 'Energy Burst Elixir' in the room, and finally when he is about to return to the 'Crow's Nest', he has successfully prepared the finished 'Energy Burst Potion' with the assistance of the [Focus] ability, and Al has already memorized the preparation method of the 'Energy Burst Potion' in his mind.

Looking at the dark blue potion in the test tube in his hand, Al's heart was full of satisfaction, it was a kind of satisfaction that his efforts had finally been rewarded, and this feeling really made Al quite obsessed.

Putting away the potion in his hand, Al looked at the Crow Forest in the distance, which gradually showed its outline, and after more than a year, he finally returned to this place again.

The floating boat slowly fell, and finally docked steadily on the docking platform, working overtime to open the ladder and falling, Al followed the apprentices who wore it down, looking at the familiar and unfamiliar Raven Square in front of him, Al suddenly felt like home.

Walking up to the familiar statue of the crow, Al looked at the statue and said, "Lord Caesar."

！”

As soon as he finished speaking, the crow statue shook violently, and cracks appeared on the surface of the statue, and then it exploded violently, only to see a huge crow with its wings stretched out in front of Al.

Caesar the Raven looked down at Al, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and said directly: "Boy, I heard that you were banished to the Duchy of Dubai by that fellow Lantrio, why did you come back so soon?"

Looking at Caesar the Raven, Al didn't say much, and directly took out five high-grade magic stones from the space bag on his waist and threw them to the other party.

Caesar the Raven looked at the five high-grade magic stones thrown by El and his scarlet eyes widened like copper bells, and he didn't have time to speak. Caesar the Crow immediately opened his mouth and quickly swallowed the five high-grade magic stones into his stomach.

Five high-grade magic stones were in the belly, and the feathers on Caesar's body seemed to become three points brighter in an instant, but soon returned to their original appearance. It's as if the change had never been the same.

Satisfied, he brushed his feathers with his beak, and Caesar the Raven looked at Al. With a very good expression, you said to Al: "Boy, you are good, very good, you are the best kid I have seen in more than a hundred years, and you are willing to give five high-grade magic stones to Lord Caesar, you can rest assured, I will not let you spend five high-grade magic stones in vain." ”

At this point, Caesar the Raven suddenly lowered his head. He whispered in Al's ear, "Boy, I know that you must have come back at this time to participate in that apprenticeship competition, and I think you should also know that that competition is a life and death, and I can't help you in any way, but I can still tell you some information."

For example, the competition venue is different every time, and this time the three major dark wizard organizations have spent a lot of manpower and material resources to carve out a place in the seventh layer of the Demon Dragon Hell as the competition venue, so you have to prepare for the corresponding witchcraft.

The basic attributes of the Demon Dragon Hell are darkness and fire, so both the fire sorcery in Black Witchcraft and Elemental Sorcery have good bonuses there. Prepare well, I'm optimistic about you, if you can bring me a few pieces of Hell's abundant saltpeter. Then I'll have even better benefits waiting for you. ”

As soon as the words fell, Caesar's body of the crow was petrified again, and once again turned into the appearance of the crow statue before, without the slightest breath of life being revealed.

Al didn't know much about Caesar the Raven's state, but he could generally figure out that Caesar the Raven and all the crow statues in the Raven Square probably signed some kind of contract with the 'Crow's Nest', as guardians and the like. As for the contract, Al guessed it was likely to be a rather harsh one.

He glanced at Caesar, the raven, who had been transformed into a statue again. Al turned his head and walked straight inside the Raven's Nest.

The moment Al entered the 'Crow's Nest', he felt an extremely powerful spiritual force pressing towards him. Turning his head to look in the direction where the spiritual power came from, as El expected, the owner of this spiritual power was none other than the first-level wizard Ryan who forced him to leave the 'Crow's Nest'!

A grin appeared on his lips, and Al saluted Ryan like a perfect nobleman, and then he turned his head to look around, only to see that there were acquaintances and strangers in the crowd around him, some knew him, some were very strange to him, some were kind, some were full of malice, and so on.

Taking a deep breath, Al smiled at Christina and Rosenberg, who were hidden in the crowd, and ignored the others and walked straight to Lantrio's lab.

As Al had predicted, no one would dare to risk the wrath of the Raven's Nest higher-ups at this critical time, so El went straight to Lanterio's laboratory without any hindrance.

With a gentle knock on the door, Al pushed the door open with both hands and stepped into Lantrio's lab.

Looking at the familiar laboratory and the familiar people in the laboratory, Al also had a little different mood for a while, which was particularly young and pretentious.

Lantrio put down the pen and parchment in his hand, looked at Al who walked in, and with the observation of Al, Lantrio's face gradually showed a look of satisfaction, and said: "Al, you are very good, with the effect of the 'Black Egg Elixir' to help yourself reach the critical point of the limit of wizard apprenticeship, with your qualifications it is really not easy."

。 ”

Hearing Lantrio's words, Al knew that his teacher knew his situation very well, and whether it was his future plans or ideas, he was afraid that Lantrio would see through it at a glance.

Of course, Al didn't have any disgust at this, and it would be an extremely funny and abnormal thing to say that a small wizard apprentice could hide from a third-level wizard.

"Mr. Lantrio, I wonder when the apprenticeship competition will start?"

"Early the day after tomorrow, the participating apprentices and some official wizards will be directly teleported to the venue of the competition in the witch array, and I don't know the specific location, but it shouldn't be a place in the human world, so you'd better make some preparations.

The rules of the Apprenticeship Contest are that there are no rules, and things such as witchcraft and potions are not allowed to be used, except for things like disposable witchcraft scrolls, so you have to be aware that you are likely to encounter opponents with powerful potions or witchcraft in their hands. ”

Hearing this, Al frowned slightly, and said, "Teacher Lantrio, in this way, if a wizard equips his apprentice with a lot of witchcraft and potions, then wouldn't that apprentice be invincible?"

Smiling slightly, Lantrio looked at El and said: "Al, the possibility you said is indeed there, but in fact, no wizard will do this, you should know the value of witchcraft and potions, no wizard will spend a lot of magic stones on his apprentice."

And once the apprentice dies, everything on his body will belong to the slayer, that is, once the apprentice dies, then the wizard's investment in the apprentice will no longer exist, and no wizard will do this, so you can rest assured that there will be no apprentice with witchcraft and potions, and even if there is, it will immediately become the target of everyone. ”

Al nodded slightly when he heard Lantrio's explanation, agreeing with Lantrio's statement, as Lantrio said, this situation will indeed not happen, otherwise it will really become everyone's target.

Of course, there will definitely be wealthy apprentices in this, so Al knows that he must keep a low profile when the time comes, otherwise once he is in the limelight, he will probably face a siege from many people.

Looking at Al's thoughtful appearance, Lanterio nodded with some satisfaction, and directly took out a cane about a meter long from his body, this cane is black throughout, and there are hidden patterns attached to it on the surface, as for the head of the cane, it is inlaid with a black-red spar, which looks inconspicuous, and even a little ordinary.

Glancing at the staff in his hand, Lanterio handed it directly to Al and said, "As my apprentice, I naturally have to have a good witchcraft in my hand.

This staff is called 'Essari's Radiance' is a lightless witchcraft, in addition to being able to amplify witchcraft and witch-like magic to a certain extent, it can also release a first-level witchcraft 'Essari Energy Blast', which is charged every eight hours, up to three times, that is, it can release 'Essari Energy Blast' three times a day, which is a good thing in a lightless witchcraft. ”

Reaching out to take the lightless magic tool 'Essari' that Lanterio had handed over, Al looked at the black cane in his hand with a hint of joy on his face.

As a wizard apprentice limit, although the witch-like magic in Al's hand is not small, such as 'Ring Snake Summoning' and 'Emerald Nightmare' are comparable to witchcraft Witch-like magic is extremely powerful, but there is no witch-like magic that can burst out in battle in an instant, and then Al got the 'Witch Pattern God Costume' is naturally one, and now El has a hole card that can burst out with great power in a short time.

Quite solemnly putting the 'Essari Radiance' into the space bag on his waist, Al bowed to Lantrio with great sincerity, and then said, "Lanterio-sensei, I wonder who the other two participants you sent are?" (To be continued.) )
