When he was about to walk to the door, Marcus turned around and said, "By the way, I asked for you from Old Patton's side, originally because the difficulty of your mission this time has changed, the tavern temporarily raised your mission level to D level, and the mission reward has also been multiplied many times." ”

"However, since it was me who ended the mission in the end, it is impossible to calculate the reward according to the increased mission, and considering the extent to which you have completed the mission, the final decision from the tavern is whether to distribute the original reward points. ”

Roger knew that he didn't care too much about it.

For him, it was a blessing in the midst of misfortune that he survived this mission.

Seeing that Marcus was about to leave after speaking, Roger hesitated slightly, then stopped Marcus and said, "Mentor Marcus, there is something I want to hear your opinion on. ”

"Huh?" Marcus paused.

Roger organized his language, and then, in the clearest and clearest terms, told Marcus about the assistant teacher Carnegie who had died at his hands.

Including why the Carnegie assistant was hostile to him, as well as the arrangements along the way, and how he got rid of Carnegie, he told Marcus without any personal subjective emotions.

"You're not wrong. Marcus made no secret of his admiration for Roger, and muttered: "Since that guy regards you as an enemy, then he is your enemy, and it is naturally more comfortable to kill the enemy, do you want to wait for him to retaliate next time?"

"You handled this matter very well, although the academy has rules that you can't hurt others at will in the academy, but you dealt with him outside the academy, didn't you? Not to mention that he made a move on you first, this matter is reasonable, and no one can find fault with it. ”

Marcus waved his hand absently and said: "You don't have to worry about this anymore, if anyone asks you, you can just say that he died tragically during the mission, but he is just a high-level wizard apprentice whose potential has been exhausted, and no one will delve into how he died...... Besides, not everyone in my Marcus student is qualified to make things difficult, is it possible that he is only allowed to harm you, and you are not allowed to fight back?"

Marcus's words undoubtedly reassured Roger.

Roger never doubted that the wizard's methods were not subtle enough, and he believed that if the students really looked deeper, they would find out that Carnegie was killed by him. But as Marcus said, Carnegie was just a wizarding apprentice with exhausted potential, and no one really cared about his life or death.

Roger said to Marcus just in case.

If someone really looked into this matter, Marcus would not sit idly by and watch Roger be troubled because of this.

"I've always thought that becoming a wizard apprentice is already embarking on the path of wizarding, but now it seems that in the eyes of those formal wizards, wizard apprentices may not be considered real wizards......"

Roger sighed in his heart. If Carnegie had been an official wizard, neither the academy nor the Celestial Canyon behind the academy would have sat idly by and watched him die for no apparent reason.

"I'll leave first if there's nothing else to do, you kid have a good rest. ”

Marcus greeted Roger before leaving.

After Marcus left, Roger sat alone on the bed and thought: "Although the appearance of the parasite mother has ruined the progress of the mission, after all, contribution points have been distributed according to the original difficulty of the mission, and when I am injured this time, I should be able to further break through to the mid-level wizard apprentice." ”

Hiss -

Shifting slightly, Roger gasped.

Bursts of tingling pain came from all over the body.

"It looks like we really need a few days of rest. Roger thought with a wry smile.

......

A little more than a month later, the Butterfly Tavern.

"To celebrate that we escaped, cheers!"

It's still the same corner, Ram raised his glass and smiled.

"Cheers. Roger smiled and raised his glass and took an unhurried sip of his wine.

In addition to Roger and Ram, there were also Apollo, a talented teenager who has been inseparable from Ram for many years, and Harrison, who once made Roger difficult. Of the members of the last mission, with the exception of Carnegie, who was killed by Roger, only Augustine was not present.

"Speaking of which, we can return safely and intact, thanks to you, Your Excellency Roger, if it weren't for your mentor personally disposing of that parasitic mother, it's really hard to say whether we would have managed to escape that continent. Harrison still had lingering apprehensions when he mentioned Roger's mentor.

As he spoke, Harrison patted his head and said in annoyance, "I almost forgot, Your Excellency Augustine asked me to thank Your Excellency Roger...... Since he returned safely last time, he had begun to prepare for the attack on the high-level wizard apprentice, and the reason why he couldn't come this time was because he was on another mission. ”

"yes, I see. Roger nodded.

"Why is the dead face so desperate all of a sudden?" Apollo looked at Harrison in surprise.

Ram looked like he was really like this, and pouted at Apollo: "Little brat, do you think everyone is like you, heartless all day long? In my opinion, Augustine must have been stimulated by the scene of Roger's mentor making a move, and wanted to step into the ranks of official wizards as soon as possible." ”

"What's so exciting about this, everyone's path is different, even if he is promoted to a high-level wizard apprentice first? "Apollo's rare orthodox way.

Apollo had a point. ”

Roger nodded approvingly.

After using up the 80 contribution points obtained from the last mission and practicing several new spells, he has now successfully entered the ranks of mid-level wizard apprentices, and his promotion speed is really a bit ridiculously fast compared to most people.

But it was also in the process of his promotion this time that he personally experienced the difficulty of the wizard's cross-level promotion for the first time, which was completely different from the difficulty of simply improving his spiritual power before.

According to the way wizard apprentices judge their rank, beginner wizard apprentices have 1 to 5 units of psychic power, intermediate wizard apprentices have 5 to 20 units of psychic power, and advanced wizard apprentices have 20 to 100 units of psychic power.

Roger knew this for a long time, and knew it at the beginning of his enrollment.

However, when he wanted to advance from a beginner wizard apprentice to a middle-level wizard apprentice, he found that there was a big problem in the middle, that is, there was a barrier between the ranks.

This barrier is not a physical obstacle, but an invisible one.

When Roger's mental power does not reach 5 units, there is no obstacle to improving his mental power whether it is through meditation or practicing new spells, and even the wine brewed by the Butterfly Tavern with the unique 'Yuan Brewing Technique' can also improve his mental power to a certain extent.

But when his mental power broke through to 5 units, he sensed that invisible barrier for the first time, with this barrier, no matter how much he meditated, or continued to practice new spells, he could not increase his mental power from 5 units to a higher level.

For this reason, Roger made a special trip to find his mentor Marcus.
