A few days later, in the meditation room, Roman ordered:

"Chip, set up the deduction task, at the current meditation speed, how long will it take to build the magic matrix?"

"Ding! The mission is set up, and the deduction begins... The deduction is complete... It will take at least three years and two months..."

To be promoted to a third-level apprentice, you need to meditate to produce spiritual power, and then build blocks little by little to build a magic power matrix, a process that usually takes ten or twenty years.

After chip optimization, Roman Meditation Space is highly qualified and can be completed in about three years, which is enough to compete with geniuses like Emma and Ganon.

But he is still not satisfied, because after a series of events, his progress is seriously behind, and even if he is efficient, it is impossible to be promoted faster than others.

So he had to find another shortcut, and in the midst of his thoughts, he set his sights on the three mutilated ancient runes.

They vary in degree of incompleteness, ranging from 20%, 30%, and 40% to 20%, 30%, and 40%, and have the effect of increasing mental and magical powers, as well as increasing the efficiency of meditation.

Roman picked up the 20% mutilated rune and ordered: "Chip, how long will it take to deduce the broken part of the rune?" ”

"Ding! According to current information, it will take about 36 years..."

Compared with modern runes, the ancient runes have a three-dimensional structure, intricate lines, nested structures, and even four-dimensional projections in three dimensions, and Zimbardo's information is completely insufficient.

Thinking of this, Roman couldn't help but say to himself: "I still have to contact the local wizarding circle......"

He walked out of the meditation room and asked Josson, "Where is Viscount Hawke?" ”

When Qiao Sen heard this, he said respectfully: "The viscount is in the lord's mansion, receiving the envoys of the royal court. ”

Roman was curious: "What is the envoy of the royal court doing here?" ”

Jossen replied: "The Hawke family has annexed the Bonn Territory, and as the monarchs of both sides, in order to maintain their authority, the royal court must intervene. ”

Roman stretched and lay down on the chaise longue, and Lady Ruth immediately stepped forward to massage it, and he took a deep breath and asked, "And how are they talking?" ”

Qiao Sen sneered: "I heard that the atmosphere is not very good, the royal court wants Jade to withdraw the army and dissolve the marriage contract, of course the viscount will not do it, and then ......"

He suddenly stopped, stopped talking, and succeeded in arousing Roman's interest, and asked, "What happened then?" ”

Qiao Sen continued: "Then the royal court offered to see the master, and only when he saw you, would the viscount's request be considered. ”

Thinking of the news of the retreat released earlier, Roman couldn't help but smile: "Did you say that the viscount would let them come to see me?" ”

Qiao Sen smiled disdainfully and said: "It's hard to say, these nobles are forgetful of profit, maybe they can't bear the pressure, so they sell you, master!" ”

"Only we will be absolutely loyal to you!"

Hearing this, Roman grabbed Mrs. Ruth's hand, changed the position of the massage, and said, "You're right, if you leave, I will definitely take you with me!" ”

At this moment, as if to confirm Jossen's words, there was a commotion outside the manor, and after a while, a maid announced;

"Report to the master, Viscount Hawke and the royal envoy ask for an audience."

Qiao Sen said angrily: "Let him go!" Didn't the host order that there should be no outsiders?! ”

Then he knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "Master, I will drive them away for you!" ”

Roman waved his hand, waved the maid and Lady Ruth away, and said with a smile: "No need, I'll meet them." ”

In Roman's calculations, relying on chips and high qualifications, it should be easy to be promoted to the third level, but the reality is not as he hoped.

In order to speed up his promotion, Roman must parse the ancient runes, so that he cannot work behind closed doors, and must expand foreign exchanges.

Soon, Roman met the envoy of the royal court, who was dressed in a crisp tuxedo and looked like a butler, according to the fluctuations of the magic power emanating from his body, he was a third-level wizard apprentice.

This shows that the royal court's envoy this time is aimed at Roman.

Roman looked at the Viscount on the side again, only to see him trembling, his head shrunk like a quail, and he did not dare to look at Roman.

Because he disobeyed the wizard's orders, he couldn't bear the pressure and led people to disturb the wizard.

Seeing this, the envoy said in a deep voice: "Your Excellency doesn't need to look at Viscount Hawke like this, in front of wizards, the will of mortals is not worth mentioning at all. ”

Roman raised his hand and waved Viscount Hawke away, and said coldly: "Then what are you here for today?" Will you take revenge on the royal court advisor I killed? ”

The envoy waved his hand and smiled: "Your Excellency doesn't need to test me like this, you and I both know that if I really seek revenge on you, I won't sit here." ”

When Roman heard this, he got up and poured a glass of wine for the envoy, raised his glass and said, "Then the royal court and I will meet and laugh at each other!" ”

The envoy didn't raise his glass, but laughed and said, "Romance Wizard, you're so interesting, my name is Victor, it's nice to meet you, but I didn't finish my words just now......"

"You have made the royal court lose a wizard, and the royal court will not seek revenge on you, provided that the royal court's losses are compensated!"

Roman smiled and said disdainfully: "I will not accept any threats, especially if they are of the same level!" ”

"Wizard Victor, you and I are both Level 3 apprentices, what do you want? What can you do? ”

Victor picked up the wine glass, took a sip of wine, and said, "The tone of your voice is very similar to that of the war maniacs in the Blood Court, if I report this news, what do you think?" ”

It's the middle of the House War, and those who have fled are all genius seeds, and it's hard to say how the Beacon of Life would react if it knew about Roman.

Roman lowered his head and did not speak, and Victor took advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued:

"If you are willing to join the royal court, we will keep your information confidential, otherwise please leave, if you insist on threatening with force, your whereabouts will be exposed immediately."

At this time, Roman said lightly: "But the freedom and dignity of wizards do not allow me to grovel to mortals!" ”

Victor made a reassuring gesture: "There is no groveling, there is no forced task, no one will force you to do anything, you can leave at any time." ”

Roman was curious: "So what do I need to do?" ”

Victor took another sip of wine, "Just swear to the Eye of Judgment: never take the initiative to harm our Empress, Your Majesty Pals." ”

Roman lowered his head and thought for a moment, and decided, "If what you said is true, I agree to join the royal court. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and the two sides became friends who talked about everything, exchanging information about spiritual practice.

From the conversation, Roman learned that because of an accident decades ago, Victor's meditation space was damaged, and he had no choice but to give up his spiritual path.

and decided to live in seclusion, becoming the chief advisor of the royal family, and ending his life.

Although Victor's cultivation has stagnated, Roman's decades of experience are still refreshing, and Roman is very knowledgeable, and he has been able to understand it through chip analysis, which also makes Victor amazing.

At the time of parting, the two were reluctant.

Victor said kindly: "You clean up, the royal court has prepared a manor for you, and a carriage will come to pick you up in two days." ”

Seeing Victor's back in the distance, Roman's eyes were deep, and he said secretly: "I hope the royal court won't let me down......"
