Chapter 46: The Child of the Sun
"You said you weren't strong enough when you were a second-level apprentice, and I'm only second-level now. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"West, you know. ”
Caesar asked bluntly, although Caesar had a hint of emotion after West explained his intentions.
Exploring ruins is no small matter, and the opportunities you can get are also proportional to the dangers.
When it comes to their own security, it's better to ask clearly, and Caesar is never ambiguous when it comes to business.
"Caesar, with the fact that you can escape under the claws of the black-spotted thorn leopard alone, I think your strength is no less than that of an ordinary first-level apprentice. ”
Saying this, West put down the cup, he knew that if he didn't make it clear to Caesar, the other party would definitely not take risks easily, especially when Caesar was not so embarrassed now, and he needed the other party's help now.
So he looked at Caesar and said in a deep voice.
"Caesar, I'll tell you the truth, this relic was discovered by me at an unexpected time earlier with another second-level apprentice. ”
"However, we didn't dare to rush in at that time, but we were afraid that the other party would leak it and signed the 'bloodline document' together, so we agreed that only when both parties reached the first level of apprenticeship would we consider exploring together. ”
"'Bloodline Papers', Caesar should know something. ”
"Yes. ”
Caesar nodded, motioning for West to continue.
"During this long period of time, we each consulted and exchanged ancient books before we found out that it should belong to a small wizarding organization called the 'Children of the Sun' three thousand years ago. ”
"However, the organization of 'Children of the Sun' existed for a very short time, in less than three hundred years, it died out for some reason and disappeared in the long river of time. ”
"But in any case, there are at least two or three official wizard-level existences in the 'Children of the Sun' who can become wizarding organizations, because this can be recognized by other wizarding organizations at that time. ”
"So we think that in this ruin, there will definitely be something we want, as long as we go in, believe me, Caesar, there will be a big harvest!"
Speaking of this, West's eyes were full of longing.
Of course, West was full of eagerness, he was only a second-level wizard qualification, and the family behind him was too small to provide for West's expenses in the academy, and West could only rely on himself, and it took more than ten years to climb to the limit of a second-level apprentice.
However, due to his own lack of qualifications and resources, he was unable to advance to the first-level apprentice, and finally had to spend five full years adrift at sea for a chance, and only then spent his life savings to exchange for the special potion 'Alice's Tears' from Caesar's mentor Master Freeman, which can be used for the promotion of second-level apprentices.
It took another full year to successfully advance to the first level of apprenticeship, and now he is in his forties.
And the limit of the standard first-level apprentice who can advance to a full-fledged wizard is at least twenty or thirty years with West's qualifications, which is still an optimistic estimate.
And if you don't advance to a full-fledged wizard for a day, the lifespan of a wizard apprentice won't be much higher than that of a mortal, because of the use of various potions, the research of highly polluting materials, and every promotion will come at the cost of overdrawing the apprentice's vitality.
Therefore, the lifespan of wizard apprentices is generally around one hundred and twenty years old, and there are those who can live to be one hundred and fifty years old, which is already the limit, of course, apprentices who have been modified by various bodies are not counted.
But the same thing is that as you get older, everyone's understanding and qualifications will become more and more degraded, and when you reach a certain age, even if you are rich in resources, you will not be able to ignite the fire of life and be promoted to a formal wizard.
Not to mention, how difficult it is to advance to a full-fledged wizard, for example, a hundred apprentices who are theoretically possible to be promoted to a full-fledged wizard, and among the apprentices who have reached the limit of a first-level apprentice before the age of fifty, the odds of successfully advancing to an official wizard are already very good.
That's not counting the huge number of first-level, second-level, and first-level wizard apprentices who don't meet this standard for advancing to a formal wizard.
This is only the most basic condition for advancing to the rank of official wizard, and from this point of view, you can roughly know how difficult the road to an official wizard is.
Therefore, like West, who is theoretically unable to advance to the apprenticeship of a full-fledged wizard, at this time 'chance' is their best hope.
It doesn't matter what the 'opportunity' is.
.........
"Now that the other one and I are first-level apprentices and have some self-preservation skills, it's time to start exploring the ruins. ”
"Because considering that the two of us are willing to bring a partner with each other because of their strength. ”
"And because the time for me to be promoted to a first-level apprentice is too short, I can't find the right person to trust in a hurry, and I heard that Caesar, when you went on a mission some time ago, you could still escape when you encountered the black spotted thorn leopard, so I came to you. ”
West finished slowly, and then said with a wry smile.
"To be honest, if I were to run into a black-spotted thorn leopard outside now, I wouldn't have the confidence to deal with it. ”
After speaking, West looked at Caesar who was contemplating expectantly.
After hearing what West said, Caesar glanced up at West, then crossed his hands over his chest and leaned back on the bench in deep thought.
"Actually, Caesar is not particularly interested in the remnants of the wizarding organization of the 'Children of the Sun' that West said, after all, Caesar is only fifteen years old and is already a second-level apothecary apprentice, and his need for resources is definitely not as strong as West's, and there is no need to take such risks. ”
But because West took care of him when he first came to the academy, he also promised West that he would consider helping when he needed help. ”
But these are not the reasons for Caesar to take great risks to help West, if it was just West's request, Caesar would not hesitate to refuse. ”
Now Caesar himself has a certain interest in this ruin, and he is just right to return West's favor, and finally he is alert to whether he lacks some hard work and courage to move forward. ”
"After all, there are so many resources in the wizarding world, no one will be too much, if you fight for one more, others will have less. ”
"Besides, in terms of his current resource achievements, he may be quite acceptable in the eyes of wizard apprentices, but in the eyes of formal wizards and in the eyes of powerhouses of the level of mentors, it is really the same as the eyes of people watching ants move food. ”
"Hardship makes a man live, comfort makes a man die. ”
Thinking of this, Caesar immediately raised his head, looked at West in front of him and said.
"I need time to think about it. ”
"West. ”
"That's great, Caesar. ”
"No problem, it should be, and you'll have plenty of time to think about it, because we'll not start until winter is approaching. ”
"Because only then will we have access to the ruins, and you'll know then. ”
When West saw Caesar say this, his heart suddenly relaxed, and the joy on his face was undisguised.
He really didn't have the exact certainty to convince Caesar before this, and West was naturally very happy to get Caesar to agree.
Seeing off West, Caesar stood in the doorway for a moment.
Then he turned and locked the door and walked out.
