Chapter 22 Two Years
Time flies, and two years have passed.
In two years, there were more than 700 natural days in the Wizarding Continent, which was enough for the newcomers of the Blacksota Wizarding Academy to have a lot of things happen.
Green silently took the broom and carefully cleaned every corner of the library. This is a part-time job in the academy that Green found through the Bloodsail Alliance forces, and he was paid two Sorcerer's Stones every month.
Don't underestimate this part-time job. At the beginning, I don't know how many people rushed to get it, but in the end, Lafite helped Green snatch it through the Bloodsail Alliance.
With the addition of subsidies, four Sorcerer's Stones per month, it stands to reason that during the three-year protection period of the academy, it is enough for a newcomer like Green, who is not bad in aptitude and intelligence, to grow into a magic apprentice, but...
"Am I wrong?"
Green frowned, in a bad mood.
In the past two years, Green has only learned one witchcraft, and that is the initial transformation of the nose-hunting.
Originally, this witchcraft Green had already completed half a year after entering the academy. According to the normal path for newcomers, he should spend all his time obtaining the Philosopher’s Stone and learning new witchcraft while meditating. This would cost Green four yuan a month. In terms of the income of the Sorcerer's Stone, it should have been easily ahead of most newcomers.
But!
At the beginning, Green didn't want to just follow the steps in the magic book to complete the witchcraft and finish the work, but thought about researching the mysterious principles and analyzing the true meaning of it, thus wasting precious time.
For example, now, through two years of research on nose hunting, Green has obtained an ambiguous knowledge: Why is nose hunting modification not a bloodline witchcraft?
However, what is the use of this?
Could this so-called knowledge strengthen Green to pass the trial a year later?
Give me endless knowledge, and I will use myself as a fulcrum to leverage the endless world.
Is knowledge really that important?
"Am I really wrong?"
It's no wonder that Green is getting more and more confused. It's all because the three-year rookie protection period is about to arrive. At that time, the academy's terrifying trial exams will begin, and there will be mandatory tasks every two years after that.
Through the previous session of wizard apprentices, Green knew that the so-called trial exam was actually a life-and-death test for the academy to select qualified newcomers.
During the trial period, the death rate of newcomers who did not master the three witchcrafts and became wizard apprentices was more than 90%, and even for wizard apprentices, the mortality rate was about 40%.
It was so cruel that the trial exam was also called the bloody mill by the older generation of wizard apprentices.
In the past, "Snose Hunting Modification and Scent Atlas" was all Green's hope for the wizarding world, and it was his advantage different from ordinary wizard apprentices, but now...
"no……"
Muran, a shrill scream came from the library, Green was startled, and quickly ran towards the scream.
At this moment, four or five people were already surrounded there, but they all just stood there dumbly, ignoring the person who was rolling desperately on the ground.
Green stepped forward, his pupils shrank: "Lin Zi!"
This female wizard apprentice, who was rolling desperately on the ground, was named Lin Zi. She was the first batch of newcomers to become wizard apprentices, and she was very famous.
And because of his good looks, there are quite a few male wizard apprentices who secretly admire him.
However, this Linzun has a shortcoming, that is, it refuses to cultivate companion insects.
This is easy to understand. After all, in terms of the mentality of ordinary people, letting yourself, or even the body, be covered with messy bugs is definitely a terrifying thing, and even Green was quite against it.
The so-called companion worms are the wizard's initial use of soul power, distributing his power to some worms with special functions, and thus gaining some corresponding abilities.
Although companion worms also have a considerable function of defending against enemies, their fundamental function is to increase the wizard's resistance to curse, witchcraft and illusion.
Green looked at Linzi, who was crying in pain, and sighed, another wizard apprentice was about to die in pain here.
In the past two years, Green has seen too many people who were cursed to death. This is also one of the most difficult methods of killing in the academy to be traced by the law enforcement team.
Even Green had some malicious guesses about Lin Zi's death method. Countless carnivorous worms crawled out of her body and gnawed her into a skeleton, or did her blood dry up into a solid and suffocate to death?
Or just like the guy last time, his physiological functions were exhausted in an instant and he became a mummy?
The shrill screams became more and more tragic, and Green could smell a burnt smell keenly.
The dark red-skinned Lin Zi finally fell down powerlessly. At the same time, her body shriveled at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if the bones that made her body had completely melted and lost their support points.
A moment later, from the inside out, Lin Zong gradually turned into ashes, but the clothes she was wearing were laid flat on the ground intact, it seemed that Lin Zong's body was taken away by an inexplicable force, the scene was extremely weird .
"The curse of spontaneous combustion of the body, a very advanced curse..."
A wizard apprentice in front of Green muttered to himself, and then left as if nothing had happened. Over the years, he has seen too many newcomers killed by curses, and he has long been familiar with it.
Generally speaking, during the first three years of newcomers to the trial exam period, there are the most "accidental" deaths in the academy. Green's back is a little cold, even though he has seen such scenes of being cursed to death many times, because Green I don't know when I will be like the other person.
Of course, there must be a condition for being cursed, that is, the wizard's body information has been stolen by others.
The so-called body information may be a drop of blood, a nail, or even a hair.
Legend has it that the most advanced curse master can even indirectly obtain some weak body information from objects that others have touched, and then cast a curse.
At night, the Bloodsail Alliance gathers.
The former ruling structure of the five major casters is long gone, and now the Bloodsail Alliance is ruled by twelve alliance elders.
Except for the fireball caster and the puppet caster who died accidentally, none of the top five casters became the elders of the alliance. The other three casters have all become alliance elders, and the other nine are superhumans with aptitude and wisdom who caught up later. First class exists.
Lafite, Yorkris, Yorkliana, Bin Johnson, and Green were still sitting together.
It's just that although the friendship between the five people is still there, Green feels a little inexplicably sad.
Yorkis said in a low voice: "Green, last week Lafite brought us some harvests in the Grim Thorn Forest. Although it was dangerous, almost everyone got seven Sorcerer's Stones. How about it? Do you want to come this time? "
Green pretended not to care, and said in a low voice, "Forget it, you know, I'm of no use at all now, not to mention helping you, but also holding you back, even..."
Green glanced at Yorkliana: "Even now, your sister is much better than me."
Green knew that Yorkliana had learned three witchcrafts and became a wizard apprentice. Moreover, all three witchcrafts were auxiliary witchcrafts, which formed an excellent help for Yorklis.
The combination of the two can even overwhelm some elder-level wizard apprentices in the alliance!
"Green, don't hold on! If you continue like this, you will form a vicious circle. Are you willing to be mediocre for the rest of your life?"
Finally, Lafite couldn't hold his breath any longer, looked into Green's eyes and said anxiously, his voice was a little anxious, and the meaning of concern was self-evident.
Because everyone knows that a year later will be a cruel test and trial, and almost no one in the Bloodsail Alliance has a fluke mentality, and they are scrambling to improve their strength.
"I……"
Green was hesitating when a voice interrupted Green.
This is a cheeky male wizard apprentice named Amiida, one of the twelve elders of the Bloodsail Alliance at this time, and also Lafite's loyal suitor, possessing extremely high witchcraft talent.
Amiida said: "Don't say any more. When you think you are helping a friend, don't you think about his self-esteem? You seem to be generous, but how is it different from giving alms?"
After finishing speaking, Amiida turned around and said to Green with a sincere smile: "It doesn't matter, you are Lafite's friend, that is, my Amiida's friend, no matter how weak you are, no matter whether it is me or the alliance, won't abandon you."
"Yes, yes, Brother Green, as long as you have difficulties, you can call me at any time, and I... I will definitely do my best to help you."
Yorkliana said timidly.
Seeing the sincerity of the crowd, Green tried to maintain a "grateful" smile on his face. It seemed that only in this way could he show his happiness and appreciate everything they had done for him.
However, Green felt a stabbing pain in his heart, as if someone was stabbing the weakest part of Green's heart continuously.
Yes, Zeng Jing's friends are all from the perspective of successful people, looking down at themselves and willing to help themselves.
Even Amiida, who used to not know which corner of the Bloodsail Alliance looked up to Green, now has the generosity and generosity of a successful person to understand Green's mood, experience Green's pain, and take care of Green's thoughts.
All of this deeply hurt Green's heart.
One of the twelve elders on the high platform announced the internal information of the alliance loudly on the high platform of the assembly.
"Now, our Bloodsail Alliance has ranked fifth in terms of comprehensive ability among all the apprentice organizations of Blacksota Wizard Academy, and the top four are all organizations inherited from the older generation of wizard apprentices. Therefore, I have achieved such an impressive honor for the alliance. Congratulations on the achievement."
"Now our Bloodsail Alliance has 217 official members, of which 205 have officially become wizard apprentices, and 17 wizard apprentices have been recognized by the great wizard and have become personal disciples and students. We have received the great wizard for these Congratulations to the recognized wizard apprentices, and encouragement to the newcomers who are still in the enlightenment, I hope everyone will encourage and carry forward the organization!"
Amiida smiled and kept waving to those around him who congratulated him. He was one of the seventeen wizard apprentices recognized by wizards in the alliance.
Green, on the other hand, lowered his head and looked at everything around him quietly.
Occasionally, someone he knew encouraged Green, saying something similar to believing that Green would definitely become a wizard apprentice. Every time Green was heartbroken, but he had to keep smiling.
Green kept asking himself over and over again in his heart, was he really wrong?
At the end of the rally, only Bin Johnson and Green were on the road. For a long time, Bin Johnson was silent.
"Ah bah! What kind of thing is he, Amiida, who even said that Lafite is your friend, and he is your friend, as if we should please him more. He also said that he will not give up on you, and neither will the Alliance. Does he think he represents the league?"
Bing Hanson growled angrily.
"When the five spellcasters founded the Bloodsail Alliance, you were there. You were one of the most original members of the alliance. He was at best a second-generation member. Now, you are actually saying such things to you as a veteran of the alliance. Pooh... ..."
Finally, Bin Johnson, who had been silent all this time, suddenly broke out.
"That bastard thinks that Lafite and you are just friends? He doesn't know how you saved Lafite when the sea monster attacked, and he doesn't know the relationship between Lafite and you. What Lafite likes in his heart is You are not at all comparable to his dedication these past few months..."
Green raised his head and looked at this friend in a daze. Green had disliked his friend who was too wordy countless times.
But at this time, Green's eyes were moist: "Thank you, Ben Johnson, I want to be quiet."
Green turned around, hiding his vulnerability.
Bin Johnson didn't say much, patted Green on the shoulder, and left.
Green walked silently, recalling everything in the past two years.
From the first time I came to Blacksotta Wizarding Academy, to thinking that I had discovered some big secret and devoted myself to the study of so-called "knowledge", until now, I have fallen into such a downfall.
Unknowingly, Green came to the entrance of the tunnel in the Hesuo Mountains. In that quiet and remote corner, a weathered and dilapidated stone tablet stood there quietly, allowing time to wash away and pass by, unwavering and unshakable. Regardless of whether anyone finds itself, it just stands there quietly.
Green raised his head and looked at the boulder that changed his attitude towards his destiny. He didn't know what mood he was in, so he read it silently again.
"Give me endless knowledge, and I will use myself as a fulcrum to leverage the endless world."
He smiled self-destructively.
At this moment, Green suddenly felt his own naivety and ignorance. A bold statement from an ancient wizard had already stood at the pinnacle. , to be desperate, and even make such a foolish act of gambling.
If I were like those wizard apprentices, trying my best to learn one witchcraft after another, no matter what bullshit knowledge or root principles in it, I think I would have become a wizard apprentice or even an elder of the alliance by this time?
The ancient sorcerer who uttered these bold words is presumably already a powerful existence standing at the top of the world, but what is he?
Want to ignorantly imitate the ancient sages and become another great wizard?
Seemingly giving up on himself, Green wanted to leave silently, but after seeing the boulder for the last time, Green seemed to feel something at this moment, and suddenly his body shook.
"Give me endless knowledge, and I will use myself as a fulcrum to move the endless world... to move the endless world, but who gave me endless knowledge as a lever? Knowledge is hard to find..."
At this moment, Green felt that the once seemingly ambitious words were full of deep helplessness, as if the ancient wizard secretly hated himself for not being able to acquire more knowledge. It is always full of countless thorns, ups and downs, and difficulties, and even makes people feel hopeless, powerless, and want to give up.
A sense of weeping began to pervade Green's will, as if feeling the pain of that great wizard.
Standing quietly, motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, Green suddenly raised his head and strode towards his hut.
At this moment, Green seemed to be reborn, and an unwavering belief was born in Green. He must stick to the path and truth he chose, otherwise, what is the difference between him and ordinary people who follow the crowd?
This is a path that never gives up in pursuit of knowledge and truth.
Even if this road is full of despair and death, lonely and endless difficulties and obstacles, Green is never willing to step on the footsteps of others forever.
