Time flies. Half a month has passed since he came to the psychic hall belonging to Raspuchin.

On this day, Richard finally marked all the recorded ancient imperial texts and handed them into the hands of the wizarding leader who could decide his own life and death. The silver-white mask's gaze swept over the scroll in his hand, bowing slightly, as if expressing satisfaction with his work.

"Yes, so all the preparations have been completed. This time I have your share of credit, and after the success of the ceremony, I will reward you. Abraham, what do you want? ”

"It is my pleasure to serve you, I am only a humble apprentice and dare not ask for anything."

Richard hurriedly bowed and said. This was taught to him by Master Peter on the road, and that regardless of the sorcerer's own intentions, it is necessary to show respect and humility to those in high places, and it is not to be overcome.

"It doesn't matter to me whether you're an apprentice or a master." The other party said, "I have always had clear rewards and punishments, so if you want it, just say it." ”

That sounds familiar...... Richard thought to himself. However, Rasputin is really in a good mood today, and even has a lot more words. The previous anxiety was no longer felt in him. Was the ritual a success?

Richard didn't look up, and as he pondered, he said the answer that had been prepared a long time ago: "I hope to have the opportunity to continue studying magic." ”

Raspuchin agreed without hesitation.

"Good. You can choose any member of the school as your mentor. I'll let him teach him. As for your constitution......"

He glanced at Richard.

"It's not that it can't be solved. Some high-level potions have the effect of altering the physique. Inside the Magic Tower, there are Life Realm wizards who can refine this type of medicine. ”

Hearing this, the apprentice's mouth opened wide in surprise, and he was speechless for a while.

"Don't you want to believe it? Or do I need to make a vow? ”

Rasputin said jokingly. It seems that he is in a really happy mood right now. It's just that this joke is really a bit scary, Richard shook off and quickly explained.

"No, no, no, of course not...... I'm just so happy. ”

The reason why he feels nervous is simple: the so-called "oath" in this world refers to the contractual relationship in which both parties swear by their respective real names.

Wizards believe that everything in the world has a hidden "true name" given by the heavens, which is the true power that records and stores all things, and that mastering the true name of a thing means mastering the thing itself.

Therefore, any transcendent person regards his real name and surname as the most cherished secret and the greatest threat to his own life. They believe that once someone's real name is known, that person will be easily replaced, or reduced to a servant or even a slave in an instant, no matter how powerful or noble the person's status is, it will become meaningless.

The oath is based on the real name, and its effect can be imagined, although no one has ever been able to prove this secret legend, and the mere signing of the contract does not reveal the real name, but there is only one thing that can be confirmed: the contract based on the real name cannot be broken by anyone.

However, the existence of the oath is not well known, and the person who holds the oath is also extremely rare, and even the signing of a certain oath often becomes an opportunity for a major turning point in history: for example, the "hidden treaty" when the gods left the human world, and even the reason why wizards can use spells, it is said that the ancient humans can only achieve it after signing a real name contract with the magic web.

As a legendary wizard, it is not impossible for Rasputin to have some kind of secret oath in his hands, but it is impossible to give it to an apprentice.

However, although Rasputin was joking, on the other hand, it seemed to show that the other party did not mean to coax; And taking a step back, it's hard to imagine that a big man like a legendary wizard would deliberately lie and deceive an apprentice whose status is very different from his own.

In this way, can his constitution really be changed? When Richard realized this, a burst of uncontrollable ecstasy ensued. The wizard's road can finally get on the right track, and he has been in another world for more than a year, and as a traverser, he can at least live a normal life, not to mention opening his golden finger and embarking on a fierce life.

……

While the apprentice was still basking in joy, the wizard leader had already reached the center of the huge circle.

He raised his staff, and in an instant, the atmosphere roared, and the space shook.

Richard was unsteady on his feet and almost fell. Coming back from his excitement, he looked in amazement at the place where the tremors had come from...... Ready to get started? Wouldn't it be a little too fast?

But this wizarding leader is clearly the resolute type. The light screen that I had seen before that recorded the words of the ancient empire appeared in the air again.

But this time there was not one, but more than a hundred light screens, spiraling upwards like a tornado column, looping around Rasputchin. Immediately after that, the words were peeled off from the light screen one by one and piled up into astronomical symbols, like countless star chips floating in the Milky Way in the sky.

This scene was full of shocking and brilliant beauty, but Richard only felt uneasy from the bottom of his heart, and did not dare to stay here at all.

After he calmed down, he looked left and right, and his eyes fell on the corridor at the back of the hall. It was through there that he returned to a room in the rear to rest.

However, it wasn't until he ran there that he realized that there was an invisible wall in the air, blocking his way. He touched it with his hand, but found no gaps.

Faced with an insurmountable obstacle, Richard could only turn around. A violent storm swept from behind, and he squinted his eyes into the center of the hall with the help of the protection of the wall.

At this time, the floating characters had dissipated into the air, and at the same time, the light of the magic circle on the ground was so intense that it was like the sun falling to the ground, making people unable to open their eyes.

The wizard leader stood in the center, his hands raised and chanting an unknown incantation aloud. He held the staff in his left hand, and the object he was holding in the other hand was the book of magic that had been passed down from the ancient empire.

At this time, Richard finally understood why the Magic Book was called the "Magic Clay Tablet", because what was in Raspurchin's hand at this time was obviously not the book or scroll he had imagined in the past, but a plate covered with lines.

The wind was blowing so fiercely that he felt like he was about to fly with his feet off the ground; Not only the wind, but he could also feel the temperature in the air gradually rising, soon reaching a temperature close to that of being in a steamer.

Richard felt as if he had gone from the cold hall to the scorching desert in the blink of an eye.

"Big guy, it doesn't matter what you want to do, can you let me out first?!"

For a while, he only felt dizzy, the harsh environment did not disappear with the passage of time, and there was a pain like a knife cutting fire everywhere in his body.
