“Well, William, what do you know about wizards?”"Wizard?" [1]William could not hide his puzzled face and pretended that he had never heard the term before.“You obviously don't understand what this is and haven't heard of it before. Let me tell you. Only three people in our kingdom know this secret, me, the other master knight, and the king himself.”He then sighed and continued speaking. “Wizards are god-like beings, inaccessible to us knights and ordinary people. But they were once ordinary beings too. Later, thanks to their talents and hard work, they began to control a superior power. They called it magic. That's all I know about wizards, but there's something about it that concerns you." He then filled a glass of water from the jug on the table and continued speaking after drinking it.“Every year, Wizards come to our kingdom to test youngsters younger than twenty and older than sixteen. They came already three months ago this year. So you don't have so many options anymore. Bu
“Of course, I will join you. I am a knight, after all.” After weighing the possibilities, William thought this was the best way. He didn't want to waste any more time. This was the reason why most knights, warriors, and wizards began training at a young age.“ Hahahaha! Nice, good choice. You will definitely not regret it. Then let's go right now. There is nothing that binds you here anyway.” He then rose from the throne and walked to his king brother. He touched his dimensional bag, and a pile of items began to appear in the middle of the hall. Hundreds of swords, armour, and gold ingots filled the entire hall as if they were nothing to him. In addition, the king gave his brother a metal seal that read 'truce'. After that, he signalled for William to follow him.William followed him without refusing. This man was at least sixty years old, despite his youthful appearance. Because his brother's hair had already turned white and his skin was wrinkled. After leaving the city, the young w
It took a full day for Edius to rest and recover. The next day, at the same time, they set off again without telling anyone. Exactly one day later, they appeared at the entrance of the mysterious forest.Edius said they should take a break here. They would continue their journey in the morning. According to what Edius told, the creatures that hunted at night in this forest were not afraid to attack, regardless of whether people were wizards or not.When they came to the edge of the mysterious forest, Edius had given him a magic device. He said that every apprentice who left for the mission was given this device. This device was used to keep the first-rank creatures out.According to what Edius said, a first-rank creature could easily kill him. Most creatures above level one might have developed a certain intelligence, and some might even have learned to speak. Edius also mentioned that the creatures are ranked just like mages.William decided to consider these matters later, as he had
He did not touch the ten low-level soul stones inside the pouch. After all, it was unheard of for someone who could use a dimensional bag from day one. He decided to wait a week. He felt that this was the worst part, because ordinary people did not have any power to contact the dimensional bag.He took out the two remaining items from the bag. One consisted of several scrolls in the form of a roll, while another was a parchment with only a single page.As William was most curious about the meditation technique, he first opened the rolled parchment. It consisted of a total of ten pages, several of which were intertwined.The name of the technique was written in a very straightforward and simple way. [Meditation Technique] Yes, that was it.Later, when he started reading its contents, he could not help being shocked. The number of words packed on a page of parchment was almost the size of a small book. Some of the ten pages also contained strange drawings that William did not understand
William only recovered soon after the pressure had passed. 'What was that?' Just now, it was as if a gigantic predatory beast had stared into his eyes. The eyes he saw must have belonged to a monster or something like that.He looked around and saw several apprentices laughing and nodding at him. Which meant that all new apprentices like him felt the same pressure? When he thought it was a test, he thought to himself, 'I hope it's a pass.' Said.After surviving this surprise test, William continued on to the fifth floor of the tower. When he arrived, he saw that it was arranged in the same way as the fourth floor was built for 3rd rank apprentice wizards. The only difference was that their wizard' chambers were larger. He searched the rooms quickly and finally found the door of the wizard Alyna.“Knock Knock.”It was only two minutes after William knocked on the door that the door opened.“Crack!” “Squeak!” The door creaked open as if it had not been opened in years and rusted. In fro
William didn't understand anything at first when Zion took him to the table and showed him the potions on the table, but as he looked at some of the potions, he felt a sense of danger and fear overtake him.The round and plump potion bottles, in particular, contained a variety of shiny liquids that frightened him deeply. Zion carefully picked up the potion bottle, which glowed faintly with a red-orange light, and showed it to William.“For example, this is an [Explosive Potion]. If you can successfully hit your target with this potion, you can easily burn a first-level apprentice into nothingness. It is more powerful than a regular fireball spell, but expensive to craft. This is the potion I'm working on for now. If I can make a third rank potion, I'm considering opening my own shop.” A glimmer of hope could easily be seen in his eyes.William took the [Explosive Potion] in his hands and stared in surprise. This potion didn't look that dangerous at all, it didn't even have explosive a
The next day, when he awoke, the sun was directly overhead. 'Fuck!' He immediately stood up and ran so as not to be late. He was supposed to go to class today, as usual, without making any excuses. Missing even one class could make him regret it for the rest of his life. He informed master Alyna that he had made a hole in his soul and that he had finally succeeded. He said he would save mana to engrave the schematic after class. The mana he would accumulate this time would be extremely pure. In fact, William thought that by performing better than Alyna had described, the hole in his soul had more holes than the others, so he could absorb pure more faster and faster. The first thing he did after returning to his room was meditating. Spiritual energy entering his body would run directly into his forehead, enter through tens of thousands of holes, and then emerge from the back of his head, turning into pure mana. Still, the speed of assimilation was insufficient for him. In just one da
He read the [Magic Hand] in his hand first. He should have said it was a very interesting spell. This magic was a materialization of pure soul power, not containing any element. In order to cast this spell, you had to memorize the diagram first. When he opened the book, he saw that dozens of pages were devoted to this diagram alone. In fact, the book included the opinions of those who used it, the pros and cons of the magic, and finally the history of the magic.This spell was even older than he had anticipated. Billions of people have practised this ten-thousand-year-old spell until now, and it has finally come to this point today. The explanation of the schema of the spell was so detailed that even an idiot could learn it if he just followed the steps.The scheme of magic contained tens of thousands of complex lines and symbols. William had to memorize them all. For now, he just read, and then he took out the magic scrolls he had taken from the Argos island from his ring. He immedia
