The old man uncorked the bottle, pinched the piece of meat directly with his hand, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Touching the piece with his hand, he suddenly looked up and asked.

"Can I taste some of this meat?"

"Of course you can, but this meat may also have a corrosive effect, although it has been air-dried now, you ......"

Before Freya could finish speaking, the old man carefully tore off a strip of meat with his hand and put it directly in his mouth.

'Snort...'

A slight white smoke came out of his mouth, which made the old man frown slightly, but he still chewed.

"This flavor is the feeling of being synthesized many times......"

Listening to the old man's words, Freya immediately understood that he was using a special kind of identification witchcraft to analyze the composition of the pieces of meat.

It didn't take long for him to swallow the shredded meat, and then he opened the rest of the utensils one by one, and tasted some of each.

Freya looked at the old man's expression a little nervously, if this didn't satisfy him, then he had to find another way to get the promotion materials.

And in this period of war, it is no less difficult than on Katya's side.

After a long time, the old man picked up the test tube containing the green juice, gently pulled out the wooden cork, and dripped out a small amount of juice and sucked it into his mouth.

Suddenly, he opened his slightly narrowed eyes, revealing a puzzled expression.

Then he dripped a few more bits of juice.

"Huh, is it a faint breath of blood? … But it looks like it's been transformed—" he muttered to himself, looking at the test tube in his hand.

After a moment of contemplation, he re-inserted the cork onto the test tube and smiled kindly at Freya.

"Apprentice, may you tell me that you really found this creature in the forest outside Katya? Don't try to fool an official wizard. ”

Looking at the old man's kind gaze, suddenly. Freya felt her brain thump, and her vision began to blur a little.

Feeling the sudden change in her body, Freya's face suddenly sank. The eyes instantly sobered up, but. She said slowly, still pretending to be confused.

"Yes... My lord... I didn't lie to you. ”

"Okay." Hearing Freya's answer, the old man showed a slight look of disappointment, and with a slight movement of his fingers, a faint white thread was pulled out of the back of Freya's head.

And Freya also cooperated and pretended to be sober, frowning slightly and looking at the old man with a puzzled expression.

Not caring about Freya's face, the old man thought for a while and said directly: "Apprentice, although I am very interested in this synthetic creature in your hands, there is only one copy. It's probably consumed after two experiments, unless you add the demonic plant catalytic technology you mentioned earlier and the knowledge of spell theory in exchange. ”

The old man's words made Freya's heart happy, this creature was brought back from the test area, although she also had the heart to check the source, but there was no gain, thinking about it, the information of this synthetic creature was either lost, or her level was not enough, and now looking at the old man's expression, it is obvious that the latter has a better chance.

But. Despite this, Freya looked unhappy, as if it was because of the old man's small tricks just now.

"Your Excellency. You know, I only stumbled upon this creature, and I originally wanted to be promoted to a full-fledged wizard for biological research, which was also very important to me... And you're also going to have a temporary markup now ... It's probably worth more than Bilco's core."

"Hehe, I'll compensate you for some magic stones if the value is exceeded, how about it?" The old man said without hurry.

"But ......"......

Ten minutes later, Freya watched the old man leave, holding a black magic crystal card and a fist-sized golden ore in her hand.

He glanced at the two items in his hand with some emotion. "It is worthy of being an official wizard of the academy, and a random compensation is five hundred magic stones, and it is estimated that Francis has not seen so much of this money."

This transaction. Both were satisfied, though Freya was a little upset that the old wizard was using suggestion on him. But fortunately, she was exempted by her resolute will.

And to make Freya a little lucky, fortunately, this is a trade in the academy. If she was outside, she would definitely not dare to trade with an official wizard as a third-class apprentice.

You know, not every wizard is a guy who follows the rules, and there are not a few wizards with cruel personalities who do things against the water.

And the phenomenon of dark wizard organizations like Al Green Academy is even more frequent.

Fortunately, however, it doesn't seem to be the case with Freya's trade.

With a deep sigh, she turned and walked into her room.

There was a click, and the door opened.

She walked over to the window and pulled the curtains open completely, letting the outside light into the room.

Then Freya came to the table and pulled out a small black box from a hidden drawer underneath.

It opens with a click.

Inside the box were two things, a white mask left to her by Hegel, and a nightmare sand in a bottle.

Gently stroking the white mask, feeling the touch like real human skin, although she has reached the strength of a third-class apprentice, she still has nothing to gain from this mask, but from here she also vaguely guessed that the former Hegel is definitely not an ordinary level wizard, and the official wizard he confessed to killing is definitely not an ordinary person.

Of course, she has no regrets about what she promised, and even if she doesn't have any contracts, she will try to help him complete it.

After all, by nature, Freya was also a believer in equivalent exchange, and knew that Hegel's exposure to this mysterious world was of great value in itself.

Gently placed the core of Bilko in his hand next to Nightmare Sand.

Freya calmly closed the box, and with a flick of her fingers, a thin green thread instantly sank into the box.

With that done, she put the box back in the hidden drawer.

"Now the only material I lack is magic eye grass powder, the cultivation of magic eye grass is very harsh, but such a precious magic plant, I can try to issue a task to obtain, with the background of the academy, even if I can't get it, there will be a clue!"

She subconsciously gently touched the black crystal card on her waist, and now the assets on her body are unprecedentedly rich, and she has confidence in her heart.

"It just so happens that the resources for the promotion of the magic circle are almost ready, it's time to pick up defensive spells, although the academy is dominated by the shadow necromantic department, but the spell models of other departments at the first level must also be in stock."

However, she looked out the window at the sky, it was already dark, and the fluorescent pillars of light on both sides of the road were already lit up.

In the sky above the pitch-black spire academy, you can still see a few large black birds flying by from time to time.

The invisible defensive witch array has been opened, and after returning to the academy from Freya, the academy's higher-ups have directly ordered all apprentices below the third rank not to leave the academy, and those who are stationed outside cannot come back for the time being.

The shadow of war has been making the calm academy feel a little shaken.

A few low-ranking apprentices hurried down the road not far from her window with books in their hands.

Seeing the apprentices disappear into the distance, Freya also vaguely felt the atmosphere.

"Forget it, let's go to the trading area tomorrow."

Shaking her head slightly, she thought about it, and pulled out the metal rod from her waist that Lisa had purchased.

Her current mental strength is almost in line with the criteria for promotion.

But there's more to being promoted to a full-fledged wizard than just that.

In addition to reaching a certain level of spiritual power, it is also necessary for all aspects of the body to enter the peak state, so that the promotion circle can squeeze more potential to improve the life level of the body and soul.

And her current physique is that the energy of the plant system is strictly exceeded, if she uses the promotion circle now, then it will be 100% affected, and it is possible to fail in direct promotion.

The metal rod is silver and is about half a meter long.

Freya touched the entire metal rod and found a tiny bump at the very bottom, and pressed it gently!

Then, as Lisa said, he threw it directly to the ground.

'Poof. ’

As soon as the metal rod touched the ground, it slowly melted like a gelatinous jelly, and then spread out.

After a while, a silver circle with a diameter of about one meter appeared on the ground.

"This folding magic circle technique is really convenient, it can be formed without the guidance of spiritual power at all, and it can be used many times." Looking at the rapidly forming circle, Freya observed curiously.

Although her knowledge of enchantment also includes the drawing and knowledge of magic circles, her focus is on runes and enchanted items, as well as temporary enchanted sorcery.

She also has research on magic circles, but she is not the most proficient.

And the current balance circle, based on her eyes, can also be regarded as a medium-level magic circle.

Trading for ten magic stones is not a big loss, and of course it is not too cheap.

After all, Lisa's relationship with her is only in name, and if it weren't for the apprenticeship contract, it is estimated that the two would not be able to have any communication.

You see, although Hegel was Lisa's teacher, there is nothing to do with Freya, even though Freya entered the academy through Hegel.

This clear distinction is at the same time the mind of most wizards in general.

After observing for a moment, Freya took out a black magic stone from her waist and placed it in the middle depression of the circle.

'Click. ’

A faint aura of energy slowly rose from the top of the circle, and at the same time, the various runes on the circle began to swim rapidly.

Freya quietly watched the rapid formation of the runes on the circle, and after a while, the runes formed a scale-like shape and occupied the entire circle.

According to Lisa, this low-grade magic stone can be used for two hours of the magic circle, which is just the balance of a day, and it is worth the money. ’

She thought as she stepped into the circle. (To be continued)
