Chapter 8: Temporary Teammate Ibn

On February 15, both Eivers and Isabel took leave.

There are quite a few students who take a leave of absence on this day.

Because the school will start again after the year, it will already be the second semester of Wang Li Law University.

This semester is short and the study tasks are heavy, less than three months. Starting in mid-April, Wangli Law University will have a two-week spring break – and after the start of school on May 1, it will be the third semester dedicated to internships, experiments, examinations, and exams.

The third semester starts on May 1st and lasts until mid-to-late July, and then the summer vacation starts on September 1st.

By the third semester, students with extraordinary career levels have internship privileges, and the examination also requires extraordinary career levels - the first level will definitely be able to find a job, but the treatment will not have to be thought too much. Except for a few professions such as priests and botanists, other professions basically can't do anything at the first level.

The Overseer can emit a little electric light when punching, the mage can use a few spells that are certainly not as powerful as the pistol, the alchemist can't rub anything, and the bard can probably add a little positive or negative status when singing, and at most it can only be applied to the first level or ordinary people. Most transcendents can't beat the number of ordinary people who are strong and armed with weapons at the first level.

It's a priest, even if he only has the first level, he can take a little milk. Therefore, the requirements for graduation from seminaries are much more lenient, and there is no requirement to master blessings.

At least to the second energy level, can be regarded as a serious transcendent. At this level, unless you are attacked or sniped, it is difficult for ordinary people, even if there are many of them, to hurt the transcendents who are good at fighting.

The official inspectors of the Inspectorate and the priests of the churches are basically at this level.

For those students who are close to graduation but are still stuck in LV9, the second semester is their last chance to advance to the second level. With only the Full Moon Ritual in mind, there are only three promotions to the full moon – and each promotion has a one-in-three chance of elimination.

Eivers is a freshman, and few of his classmates have taken time off.

Isabel is one level above Eivers, and there are already seven or eight students in their class who have taken leave.

Even after becoming the queen of Avalon, Isabel still shows up for her classes on time – something that would have been almost impossible before.

For the sake of safety, every king and queen of Avalon rarely leaves the Temple of Silver and Tin after succeeding to the throne.

If they need to study, they usually invite professors to go directly to the court to teach individually.

Isabel's heartfelt and natural affinity to the people undoubtedly made her a special case.

Her classmates and teachers were worried, nervous and scared at first, but quickly adapted to the young queen who was now much more cheerful.

They see this particular situation as a difference between the "path of beauty" and the "path of authoritarianism". After all, before Isabel, Avalon's monarchs were all "knight kings" on the path of authority. She is the only one who is the "king of art" on the path of beauty.

As a result, the friends that Isabel once asked for appeared in a steady stream when her heart was complete and she was no longer so desired......

Now that Iwass is resident in the Temple of Silver and Tin, his status is different from before. Naturally, he didn't need to prepare for the promotion ceremony himselfβ€”Osborne and Ibn, the two old ceremonial masters prepared the promotion ceremony for Isabel and Ivas respectively.

Isabel went to the safer, underground ceremonial room, while Ivas prepared the ritual directly in his bedroom.

"Thanks, teacher."

Evath thanked Ibn sincerely.

Ibn only smiled slightly, and reached out to touch his white goatee.

Compared to a few months ago, Ibn's curls were thinner and his oily green pupils were darker and darker, and they were gradually changing in the direction of the black jade. It's like ink smudged in a green pond.

He was obviously not in a very good state of mind, and his mood was not very high.

"Ready for a drunken tincture? To be promoted to the fourth energy level, you still need to be drunk with a tincture of dreams, otherwise it is easy to be directly woken up by severe pain...... That's too dangerous, and it's a shame. ”

Ibn asked with concern, and took out a small round box the size of cool oil tightly wrapped in oiled paper from his bosom: "If you don't have one, use mine." Rest assured, I haven't used this box yet. is complete. ”

For ordinary people, Drunken Dream Tincture only needs to be licked to be effective. Because of this, some low-level transcendents who don't have money will also buy some second-hand drunken dream tinctures that have been licked by people to stabilize their dreams.

But for the transcendents of the promotion ceremony, a whole box has to be used up at a time.

Ivus was stunned for a moment, and took the box of drunken dream tinctures. It was a yellow crescent moon with a human face, and the production date was marked "1898-06-024" underneath.

The batch from half a year ago is still very new.

Evas looked at his ritual teacher, Ibn with some surprise: "Teacher, when did you buy this?" ”

"Just a few months ago, after knowing you," Ibn sighed, "I originally wanted to use it myself. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Originally? ”

"After thinking about it, I'm this age...... Forget it. Most of them can't be promoted. ”

Ibn smiled indifferently: "There's no point in wasting things, it's better to use them for you." ”

Aiwath stared into Ibn's eyes.

From the eyes of this old man from a foreign country, Ivus saw a faint flame that danced. The flame was faint and faint, as if it were an illusion...... It's like looking at the sun and looking away, and the sunlight leaves a lingering mark on the bottom of the pupil.

- It was a well-hidden flame of anger.

He suddenly understood why it was after knowing himself.

To be precise, it must have been after he said the name of the demon scholar who controlled the Iron Hook Demon and killed his parents...... Ibn could not bear the anger and hatred in his heart and went to buy a tincture of drunken dreams.

He's still too weak after all.

After his life settled down, he lost his desire to transcend. From then on, there was no way to be promoted again.

Ibn is a Spell Mage, not a "Great Wizard". This means that he is only the third energy level.

Three into four is the first advancement, and at the fourth energy level, there will be a qualitative change in the extraordinary ability.

If Ibn were to return to the ancient kingdom of rest at the third level, he would most likely not be able to do anything. At the very least, you have to be a great wizard to do something.

Knowing what Ibn was thinking, Evas pushed back the tincture without hesitation.

"β€”I have one more, teacher. Hermes used to give it to me as a gift. ”

Ivas showed the tincture of drunken dreams on his chest: "With my current status, I will not lack this kind of thing...... Not to mention, the Moriarty family was not bad for money in the first place. ”

He looked at Ibn and whispered a name: "Aziz ibn Abdul...... You probably haven't forgotten this person's name.

"I think if there is a grudge, it is better to avenge yourself. You don't have to entrust me with anything before you die. ”

Aihuas directly predicted Ibn's actions.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Can you let me, an old man, cross the desert? ”

Ibn was also a little helpless, and said honestly: "I actually thought about it. I've been thinking about it for a long time after hearing about that guy from you. But in the end, I still felt that I might not be able to cross the desert. ”

"That's in the past, teacher."

Ivus shook his head, "If you really want to go back to the ancient kingdom of rest, I can find a goblin to send you there."

"Goblins have always been in contact with the 'good masters'. Goblins buy slaves such as humans, elves, half-elves, and lizardmen, as well as large amounts of gold and treasures, from the good masters, and the good lords regularly buy large quantities of trolls from the goblins. They certainly have fixed, unknown trading channels.

"The only question is whether you have the confidence to advance in old age."

Evas looked at Iben, purple flames faintly dancing in his eyes, but his tone was not sonorous, but soft: "I will not stop you, no matter how dangerous this promotion is for you. Transcending one's own longevity and aging is also a transcendent mind...... But I can assure you that no matter whether you choose to advance this time or not, or whether you succeed after you advance, I can ask someone to send you back to the Ancient Land of Rest.

"Your Majesty, I'll also say that she'll let you go."

Hearing this, Ibn looked at Evas for a long time, and his gaze changed from cloudy to sharp, and from sharp to soft.

The old man sighed helplessly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You've talked about it, if I hold back, then how can I be a teacher? It's shameless. ”

The corners of Ibn's mouth rose slightly, and with a somewhat trembling, wizened hand, he withdrew the drunken dream tincture back into his arms.

Although he said complaining words, his cloudy and dim eyes lit up with purple shimmer again.

He patted the drunken dream tincture on his chest, and opened his mouth to invite, "Are you together tonight, Aihuas?" I'll go back and do another ritual in my own bedroom. ”

"If you come with us, it might be harder."

Ivas warned.

"I know what you're thinking, but don't be afraid. I'm your teacher. ”

Ibn replied indifferently: "As long as there is no complete repetition of the path of rejection, the ritual of absence will not be triggered." Your Majesty and Sherlock don't have to work with me...... The two of us diverge from each other and make sure that we are completely different will ensure that there will be no shortage this time.

"β€”Rest assured, Ivas. It's okay if I go it alone...... Believe in the self-preservation ability of an old ritual master in his seventies. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Okay, too. ”

Ivas sighed, a little relievedβ€”at least the teacher was cheering up. Just help yourself and watch it.

If Ibn had been a transcendent of other paths, Evas would never have allowed him to touch such a dangerous thing.

But that's not the case today.

- Iben-sensei is a transcendent after all.

What kind of painful self-torture would it be if the transcendent lost the courage to transcend and lay on the hospital bed and die of mediocrity...... Although Ivas has not experienced it, he can guess a thing or two. So when Ibn came up with this dangerous idea of "revenge", Evas did not stop him, but offered to help.

For others, there may be some controversy – but for the transcendent, the decay of the mind is more painful than the torment of the body. It was a denial of my entire life up to this point.

So Ivas asked Lily to take the best bottle of red wine out of the room, open it, and pour herself a glass.

"I'll give you the rest of the bottle. You remember which paths I chose. ”

Ivas laughed, and threw all of his drunken tincture into the liquor.

As a tincture, this is the right way to eat it.

When it dissolved, Ivus picked up the lit vanilla stick and chanted the incantation of the Full Moon Ritual.

"Bless me with the Six!"

He said aloud, touching the six ritual crystals in turn with the vanilla stick.

"Sand Hour, Candle, Wei Zhe, Silver Crowned Dragon, Twin Mirrors, Snake Father......

"β€”I will follow, the way of the candle."

Ivas solemnly declared.
