The white carriage drove silently on the road, and Freya and the changed Francis sat in the carriage.

Looking at the scenery flowing outside the carriage window, Freya felt a little in a trance, Francis, who was originally similar to her, had been promoted to official wizard one step ahead of her, and had also established an organization with several other families, but she was still wandering on the way forward.

After getting into the carriage, except for Francis who started to talk to her, he has been using the arcane sigil to contact his organization and deal with something.

It seems that his position in the Eye of Truth can be regarded as high-level.

After a long time, Francis put down his fingers, closed his eyes, and exhaled softly, and after a while, he slowly opened them and said to Freya with an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, the Eye of Truth has only been established for a long time, and many things have not been perfected yet, even I need to contribute, otherwise I will be looked down upon by the higher-ups of several other families, after all, my family only has three wizards even if I am counted together."

"It's okay, by the way, you haven't told me why you're the way you are." Freya said with a smile.

"This is actually half a month ago, our organization recently discovered a spherical metallic solid with rich negative energy when developing the wizard's secret realm, anyone who touches it seems to be immediately deprived of about ten years of life, two of the old professors died of old age on the spot when they approached, I and the other three wizards were not very hurt when they were deprived of this kind because of their youth, and I was okay, and the other two wizards directly became old men in their forties and fifties..."Francis said with a somewhat embarrassed face" And because we don't have a lot of knowledge in our families, even official wizards can't recognize the source of that thing. ”

"Spherical metal that can deprive you of life?" Freya heard Francis's description and looked thoughtful. There are actually several similar kinds of this strange thing in the knowledge books of the academy, but it can't be judged from the language description alone.

Francis looked at Freya with a thoughtful expression, and suddenly said with an expectant look: "Do you know this kind of thing?" ”

"Uh... I'm sorry, but in fact, there are seven or eight kinds of metals that can deprive you of life, such as the Soul Stone and the Eye of Bikke. The blood crystals of the Cursed Lands also have the appearance of a round metallic solid. Freya paused, then said, "This thing." I'll have to see for myself to find out what it is. ”

"It's okay, if you can figure it out, we'll be able to solve the problem next. You don't know, the development of the secret realm of that thing has been put on hold for a long time, and if it is delayed for a while, the supply of energy may not be able to catch up with the half-finished secret realm and will have to be abandoned. Francis shook his head in distress.

"Huh. Indeed, if the secret realm that is halfway through development is abandoned. Even some big families can't afford it. Freya comforted.

A wizard's secret realm, even the lowest-level secret realm, requires the resources it needs to invest in 10,000 magic stones as the equivalent, but if a secret realm is developed properly. The things cultivated from the secret realm are also enough to make up for the resources invested in them.

At the beginning, the resource point of the Earth Heart Lake was actually a wizarding secret realm that I don't know what wizarding organization abandoned.

"Of course, the Eye of Truth has invested most of its fortune in it. If you can really help us solve it, I can promise you within my ability. Francis said with a small smile.

"Huh. Don't be too happy, maybe I won't be able to identify it, after all, I'm only a third-class apprentice. Freya smiled and waved her hand.

"Don't say that, even if you are a third-class apprentice, you are from a big organization like Elgreen Academy, which is different from us wizards outside." Francis corrected, "Moreover, a person's knowledge is not only based on rank, you see, even if I have been promoted to a full-fledged wizard now, it is estimated that my knowledge reserve is not even a tenth of yours, and I only know one of the three nouns you just said." ”

Listening to Francis's formal tone, Freya frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that something was wrong.

Although she had long known the conservative practices of wizards about knowledge, she didn't expect that the gap between ordinary wizarding families and large wizarding organizations would be so obvious, and the obvious gap could be seen from the basic knowledge alone.

"Haven't you thought of a way to send apprentices to the big organization as a way to improve your family's knowledge reserves?"

"Of course, there is, but if you want to enter a big organization, you need to be quite a tough assessment, and even if you pass the guò assessment, if you don't meet the standards in your studies, you will be dropped out of school immediately."

"Well—" Listening to Francis's explanation, Freya nodded slowly.

When she entered Elgreen Academy, she didn't go through that kind of entrance assessment because she had an introducer, and when she was in the academy, she was in the top few of her classes, if not the first, and she didn't have any contact with the pressure of low-level students, so she didn't know the difficulties at all.

Then, the two had a brief chat about their respective lives after they separated.

After an hour's march through the forest, the carriage finally reached the headquarters of the Eye of Truth after passing through a small silent lake.

It was a cluster of buildings that seemed to have been born of trees, large and small houses seemed to be built on trees, and some people in various robes seemed to be busy with something, and when they saw the arrival of the white carriage, they quickly put down their work and bent down to salute.

Freya swept through the strange complex, and she found that at the very top of each study house was a green spherical object, like a large green eyeball, and a faint aura of energy intertwined in all the eyeballs, connecting into a large net in the sky.

"What's that? Protective Circle? Freya felt the energy fluctuations in it and suddenly asked Francis.

"That's right, that's the Enchantment Circle of the Green Crystal Eye, which can effectively prevent large creatures from approaching, and it can also play a certain illusion role."

"So this is the Eye of Green Crystal." Freya sighed as she looked at the green eyeballs.

This kind of protective enchantment circle is a kind of large intermediate defensive circle in the enchantment system, and the legend has it that it came out of the hands of a wood elf from a long time ago, in addition to the two functions mentioned by Francis, it is said that it also has the ability to summon giant tree guards, which is a very cost-effective magic circle.
