Elemental energy exists in every corner of the universe, that is, anyone has elemental energy in their body, but ordinary people can't feel it and can't use it, while mages can somehow increase the elemental energy in their body until it can penetrate out of their body.

This method has a general name, and it is called magic.

If the elemental energy in the body of an ordinary person is defined as one, then the energy in the body of the magic apprentice after entering the magic gate through meditation is more than ten. In order to get rid of the title of apprentice and have the status of a true mage, you need to have a minimum of 100 energy.

From ten to one hundred is a lot of accumulation, and it usually takes years or even more than ten years for a magic apprentice to succeed.

Of course, that refers to the general situation, and it is different when it comes to special circumstances. For example, if Ainan obtains an elemental core by killing a swamp creeper, the time will be greatly reduced.

The elemental core of the swamp creeper is the product of a hundred years of precipitation of the elements in nature, and the energy contained in it is definitely more than a hundred. With it in hand, not to mention that Ainan himself has some accumulation, even if he doesn't have it, he can rely on it to be promoted to mage.

When he woke up from meditation, Ainan's right hand that was holding the elemental core was empty, which was caused by the energy in the elemental core being absorbed by him.

"Congratulations on your promotion to full mage, Lord Ainan."

Sloan, who was standing on the sidelines, was the first to run up to congratulate him, and it was undoubtedly good news for Ainan to officially slap him up. Being able to befriend a full-fledged mage, even if Ainan is only a low-level mage at the bottom of the wizard circle, is completely different to Sloan than befriending a magic apprentice.

Ainan smiled, getting rid of the title of apprentice and becoming a full-fledged mage was a great joy for other magic apprentices, and it was nothing to him. With an elemental core that can provide enough energy, and the knowledge that a true god remains within the godhead, promotion is easy.

"I heard from Count Neras that it is not stable to break through the upper limit of energy in the body by relying on the elemental core, otherwise the mages of Violet would have turned the wetland swamp upside down and wiped out monsters like swamp creepers." Worried that Ainan didn't know what was going on, Sloanan told him what he had learned, "Would you like to take some time to stabilize?" ”

It's really like this for other people's mages, after all, with the help of external forces, the energy in the elemental core is not the master's own, and it won't be long before it dissipates on its own. What's more, tricks like this are only used by magic apprentices, and have no effect on formal mages.

Otherwise, there is such a clever promotion method, and the mages will not use it, when they are stupid.

However, here in Ainam it is different.

The godhead left by the tangram is not an ornament, it stores the knowledge accumulated by a true god for thousands of years, and it is completely trivial to solve the energy instability after being promoted to a formal mage by relying on the elemental core.

With a wave of his hand, Ainan motioned to Sloanan not to worry, "How much time did I take?" ”

Sloanan held out four fingers, indicating that it had taken four hours for Ainan to be promoted to full mage.

It's been so long!

Only a few minutes passed in Ainan's feelings, and Sloane's answer was four hours, and it seemed that there would be an error in the perception of the outside world when he was promoted, and he had to write it down.

No wonder it is said that it takes for a master to retreat and feel how long it takes, so that's the case. Could it be that this is what it feels like to be in the mountains for a thousand years?

Seeing that Ainan looked confident and not worried about his unstable realm, Sloanan began to talk about other things: "Haken is dead, and it is said that the wound has been broken. ”

Originally, Haken's injury could be cured, but when Ainan was about to be promoted, Haken's injury had been closed, who would have thought that the wound would open again, but it happened that the guards around Haken were called away at that time, which caused Haken to not be treated in time.

To be honest, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a mystery in Haken's death, otherwise how could it crack again if it was well healed, and it happened to be when there was no one around him. It's just that Haken's popularity is too bad, and no one wants to check for such a person.

"Oh."

Ainan sighed, then ...... There was no then. Haken didn't even bother to pay attention to it, and Ainan blacklisted him when that guy provoked him.

Thinking that he was a bully, he wanted to step on his own position and use his own suffering to achieve him, such a person Ainan did not let him be killed by the swamp creeper on the spot, which can be regarded as merciful.

Seeing Ainan's reaction like this, Sloane became more and more sure in his heart, the young man in front of him was not simple, if the ordinary young man heard that the person who had a grudge against him was unlucky, no matter how much he tried to hide it, his emotions would fluctuate.

"Your Excellency Ainan, this is an opportunity. If you think about it, if a squad leader dies, someone will definitely need to fill this position, and instead of letting an irrelevant person sit on it, it is better to replace it with our people. ”

Sloanan's mention of Haken was not a simple briefing, his purpose was simple, which was to take advantage of the opportunity to absorb more power. Ainan had no roots in the army, so he didn't know who to turn to when he recommended him, and that's when Sloanan's opportunity came. Once Sloane's men become squad leaders, he can't influence both squads, which is equivalent to indirectly enhancing his power.

Glancing at Sloanan, how could Ainan not be able to see the little ninety-nine in the other party's heart, which anyone who has been mixed in the workplace can guess. If Sloane hadn't been self-aware and knew that he had no say in the matter, how could he have expected himself to open his mouth?

Ainan was the only one of Sir Lothar's apprentices to follow into the Swamp, and now that he was a full-fledged mage, he had a much heavier weight than Sloanan.

"Tell me, who are your candidates?"

Even though Sloanan was more on his own side in this matter, Ainan didn't mind.

Ambitious people tend to work harder and more executive than those who are not ambitious, and as long as you can stay strong, such people are more loyal to you than those who have no desires.

Sloanan rubbed his hands together, unable to hide the excitement in his heart. Ainan Ken opened his mouth, and the odds of this squad leader being taken away were very high.

"After Haken's death, there was some turmoil in his squadron, and several squad leaders absorbed the veterans of his team and drove out the recruits from their own team. I secretly recruited two young men, one named Marcus and the other named Tarth, both of whom were recruited by Sir on the road, and their backgrounds were absolutely clean. ”

The so-called clean background means that Marcus and Tars have no shadows of other nobles behind them, and they can easily be brought under their command without being blocked by other forces.

"I'm a little impressed with Marcus, so I'll recommend him. You bring that Tas, I just need someone here to do the chores for me. ”
