Chapter 52: The Apprentice
All the time.
Stephen tried to crack the energy field surrounding the golden seed, but unfortunately every experiment ended in failure.
This made him feel more and more that this golden seed was extraordinary, and that its source was likely to point directly to some existence comparable to that of a powerful god. This golden seed is protected by some kind of law power, and it can only be activated under certain conditions, the earliest time is when the evil spirit is destroyed, and the radiation energy field from the outside world stimulates it and causes a slight change. The golden seed then fell silent, and Stephen tried to plant it in the soil for a while, but it didn't make the energy field disappear. Of course, if the energy field disappeared at that time, Stephen would probably want to eat it the most.
Later, Stephen also conducted several experiments.
Basically, one thing is certain, that is, there are actually two powerful law power remnants on this golden seed.
The first force exuded a hint of death, which made Stephen feel extremely incredible, it was the peripheral energy field that protected the golden seed, and he didn't know which powerful being left. The second force is the divine power inherited by the golden seed itself, and this power is sealed within the seed and only bursts out when it takes root.
When Stephen saw it, the first thing he thought of was to eat it, because he felt this divine power full of vitality.
This force is conservatively estimated to increase a person's lifespan by more than 3,000 years!
Now.
The power of the law that enveloped the golden seed had been consumed a lot after Stephen's many experiments, and when he tried to mobilize the power of the [Plant] realm, this golden seed finally changed slightly.
It's slowly absorbing the radiation contamination from Stephen's body!
Incredible.
Stephen couldn't figure out why this golden seed would automatically absorb and purify radiation pollution, as if it was innate, as if some powerful being had given it a special mission when it was conceived.
"According to the current analysis. ”
"If you want to activate it completely, you must have a very strong [plant] realm power. It also requires a large supply of energy, and the last time it was tested it was unresponsive to the power of the Elemental Furnace, but this time it was the energy from the Elemental Pool that made the difference. ”
"Is the earth and water wind and fire?"
"Interesting! I seem to understand something. ”
Stephen pondered, and after a while, he put away the golden seed in front of him, he was not a real druid after all, relying on the blessing of the ancient tree of knowledge alone could only maintain the plant field for a short time, during this time, the golden seed reduced his radiation pollution index by about 0.3%, if he continued at this pace, he would be able to eliminate all his radiation pollution in half a month.
"If there's a stable way to get rid of the radiation contamination, will I be able to take potions continuously in the future?" said Stephen to himself.
Indigenous shamans' potions are powerful, but the side effects are no small either.
Radiation contamination is a very serious side effect of potions, when this radiation contamination index accumulates to a certain level, even the wizard himself cannot control the mana in his body, and it is easy to cause unknowable mutation and backlash when he advances, as if it happened to Jacob at the beginning. If it weren't for the disfigurement caused by the bloodline backlash during promotion, Jacob might not have gone out and took a risk and accidentally died at the hands of the dark wizard. If Stephen could quickly eliminate the radiation contamination, many of the natives' potions would have significantly improved his strength.
The day passed quickly.
Just as Stephen woke up the next day, a gray owl landed outside the window.
This is the messenger of the Academy.
Stephen picked up the letter from the owl and glanced at it, and couldn't help frowning slightly, because the content of it gave him a little headache.
Apprentice.
According to the rules of the Five Rings Tower, every blue-robed wizard who successfully advances must cultivate some wizard apprentices within a certain period of time, and Stephen's current identity is a blue-robed wizard, so the Five-Ring Tower assigned him two wizard apprentice task indicators. There is still a little difference between an apprentice and a disciple, the relationship between the disciple is a little closer, and the disciple is generally cultivated as a successor. For example, here in the Botanical Garden, Witch Liana has taken a lot of wizard apprentices, but there are only three people who have actually become her disciples, the first is the Wizard of Mograine, he will run to the Botanical Garden if he is fine, because he is a disciple of the Witch Liana, the second is the snake-faced witch, she shows up much less, and the third is the twin sisters Avella and Emily, the two of them are inseparable all day and can only be regarded as one person.
The Five Rings Tower does not enforce the placement of disciples, but regular apprenticeships are mandatory for all wizards.
A long list spreads out.
"Vera, 16 years old, female, moderately qualified, studious, relatively well-behaved. Apprentice Wizard II. ”
"Bote, 18 years old, male, upper-middle qualifications, aristocratic background, solid foundation. Level 3 Wizard Apprentice. ”
"Chakaraka, 17 years old, male, high-class, Shining, with weak psionic abilities and a withdrawn personality. Apprentice Wizard II. ”
"Savar, 17 years old, male, superior seniority, Dolan, half-elven descendant, elemental affinity. Level 3 Wizard Apprentice. ”
..................
Stephen spread out the long list and glanced at it, and soon had a rough idea in mind.
First of all, Stephen's time is relatively tight, so he can't teach his apprentices as often as other blue-robed wizards, so it's better to choose an apprentice who is well-behaved and sensible. The Fifth Ring Tower will regularly collect some excellent apprentice materials, and then send this simple information to the blue-robed wizard, who will decide which wizard apprentice is more suitable.
"Vera. 16 years old. Diligent and well-behaved. Although the qualifications are only average, girls should be more trouble-free. ”
"This one does. ”
Stephen picked up the pen and ticked the first name, and then he scanned the list below: "Bot, noble origin, exclude, this is not good." ”
"Chakaraka, a bit of a weird name, a withdrawn personality, a Shining, a psionic? ”
"Savar, Doran, Half-Elven Descendant......, a bit of a problem!
Stephen swept them one by one, and finally ticked the names of Vera and Chakararca, the Five Rings Tower gave him only two task indicators this time, originally he only planned to recruit Vera, a wizard apprentice, but thought that since he had accepted all of them, it would be better to accept another one to completely complete the tasks assigned by the academy.
Two wizard apprentices.
Stephen looked up at the time and walked directly towards the teaching hall, tomorrow the two wizard apprentices will be assigned, he needs to go and get the things, and the two newcomers will live on the side of the treehouse in the future.
