Chapter 119: This is the meaning of [Scarlet Thorns], isn't it?

Compared to Barbara and Hank, who were ugly, the wizard apprentices present were excited.

In the past, there were often only three to five places in the promotion ceremony, and most of them could only watch with a bare eye, hoping to continue to work hard to win a valuable spot in the coming year.

But this time it was different, everyone had an equal chance, and the increase in strength only depended on how long they could hold out in the alchemy circle.

Everyone firmly believes that they will be able to persevere to the end, but Lynn and the others are very powerful on weekdays, and for a while, except for North's apprentices, no one takes the initiative to stand up.

However, before the great temptation, betrayal was only a matter of time, and after hesitating for a long time, Bock gritted his teeth and stood in the alchemy formation, his body trembling, not daring to turn his head to look at Lynn's expression.

He's betting!

Bet that he can become an official wizard this time, so that he doesn't have to fear the other party's troubles.

Lynn gave Bock a meaningful look, but didn't say anything, he didn't think North would be so kind.

Seeing that Lynn didn't mean to punish Bock, Patty and the others, who couldn't hold back any longer, stood in the alchemy formation one after another, followed by the apprentices behind Barbara and Hank......

"You ...... How dare you ......" Seeing that the apprentices she brought with her stepped into the alchemy circle without even saying hello, Barbara was so angry that she turned her head and glared at Lynn in annoyance, if he hadn't acquiesced in the apprentice's departure, things wouldn't have developed to this point.

"It's useless!" Lynn shook her head.

These wizard apprentices join [Scarlet Thorn] for only one purpose, and that is to become official wizards, so in the face of the temptation of promotion, I'm afraid no one can resist it, no matter what he does, there is no point.

"It's really funny." Leia chuckled softly.

The few wizards who were watching were also not a big deal, but they were even more curious about whether this alchemy circle was really as magical as North said.

North drank all the red wine on the table, looked at the more than a hundred apprentices standing in the alchemy circle, with a satisfied smile on his face, and the scepter in his hand paused slightly, and the entire alchemy circle was activated.

The dense runes shimmered with a dark green glow, and then a strong wave of magic power emanated from within the circle.

The apprentices in the center of the circle immediately sensed that some kind of power had poured into their bodies, and then their own magic seemed to be being pulled and ready to move.

"Really, really, my magic has increased!" Bock felt the power surging in his body and shouted excitedly.

It was a wonderful feeling of ethereal, ethereal, comfort, and he felt as if his soul was groaning.

I'm going to be an official wizard soon!

Lea and the others, who were watching, watched intently at the scene inside the circle.

Originally, they had deep doubts about this alchemy circle that could help apprentices advance.

After all, the growth of the magic power in the bodies of these apprentices has reached the limit, how can it be so easy to improve again, but Bock's heartfelt admiration made several people hesitate.

And the surging magic power around his body is indeed a sign that he is about to break through the official wizard......

Barbara and Hank even vaguely guessed that the special material used by North to arrange the formation was most likely the blood of the Eye of Death, and only that terrifying monster had enough energy to satisfy the promotion of hundreds of apprentices at the same time.

"Your Excellency North, I wonder if this kind of alchemy formation is still useful for official wizards?" An old wizard asked excitedly.

"It works, of course it works!" North laughed heartily.

At that moment, one of the wizard apprentices in the circle suddenly let out a painful roar, and then the whole person fell to the ground.

Bock, Patti and the others also experienced a heart-rending pain at this moment, at first they didn't pay attention to it, and thought it was the sequelae of breaking through the limits of the body, and they were still persevering, after all, North said that the longer you persist, the greater the increase in magic power you get.

In just a moment, the magic power in their bodies had increased by as much as fifty percent.

But as more and more people fell, Bock couldn't hold on anymore, and what made him even more shocked was that the power that had been absorbed into his body before had now become a deadly poison, his body was rapidly withering and decaying, and his soul seemed to be being cut apart by some strange force......

Seeing the rows of wizard apprentices fall with distorted expressions, completely silent, even the most stupid people can realize that something is wrong.

"North, what the hell are you up to?" Hank scolded in annoyance.

North didn't answer, but muttered a little nervously. "Since you all want to improve your magic power, then I'll satisfy you!"

After absorbing the power of dozens of wizard apprentices, the power of the alchemy circle is becoming more and more powerful......

Leia on the side shouted in horror as if she had suddenly thought of something, as if a chill surged up from the soles of her feet. "No, this is the Soul Eater Circle of the evil mage Merck!"

"Are you crazy? North? Barbara had an expression of disbelief on her face.

The corners of North's mouth opened and he laughed maniacally. "Of course not, Barbara, watering the most gorgeous flower of thorns with blood, that's the meaning of [Scarlet Thorn], isn't it?"

More than three years ago, the evil mage Merck used the blood of the Mind Flayer to set up an alchemy formation, sacrificing an entire village and many apprentices in the psionic school, using the souls of thousands of people as food to set foot in the realm of legendary wizards.

After that, although the evil mage Merck failed, his strength was greatly improved, and he was even able to compete head-on with several great wizards sent by the council for a time.

North is not greedy, the legendary wizard is too far away from him, as long as he can use this power to become a real great wizard!

"Come, all of you will be a part of the Venerable Archwizard [North]!" North said frantically.

"Crazy, he's crazy, kill him!" Leia shouted.

The more than twenty wizards in the banquet hall were also furious, and they all raised their hands to cast spells, ready to tear the madman in front of them to pieces.

Hank didn't even care about the fact that this was an indoor room for a while, and raised his hand to blow up the alchemy circle on the ground, intending to blow up North and the alchemy circle on the ground.

But the next moment, Hank felt that his soul was disturbed, as if something had stabbed him in the head, and he convulsed all over his body in pain, and the hot fireball exploded on the spot before it could be launched......
