Chapter 295 Confirmation of Alchemy Department's support, assessment begins, third branch, third test!
Off-site assessment.
Ian immediately contacted Kieran to confirm.
"Crimson Eye also has several wizarding academies under his command, which have been causing trouble for the academies."
Kieran said calmly.
Ian wanted to ask more, but when he saw Kieran's eyes, he immediately nodded and said, "Understood, teacher."
"Prepare well, the rewards for this assessment will be the most generous in recent years."
Kieran added another sentence.
Ian nodded before leaving.
Return to the Wizard's Tower.
He began to think about what preparations he needed to make.
After all, every wizarding academy possesses at least a second-ring level of combat power.
Moreover, to meet the core assessment, nearly sixty wizards with three or more crystals are required.
Adding to the other wizards in the academy, Ian knew just by thinking about it that the enemy was definitely not something a single second-ring wizard could handle.
"So we have to be careful, and sometimes it's not necessary to get a good ranking."
Ian thought to himself.
His talent allows him to improve infinitely; as long as he cultivates steadily, he can continuously become stronger.
Unlike other wizards, who sometimes have to fight tooth and nail for resources, and who may not have the chance to advance if they don't get them.
Therefore, safety is absolutely the top priority.
of course.
While ensuring safety, we must certainly strive to secure the necessary resources and benefits.
"So we need to prepare for several contingencies."
Ian immediately called for Fain.
"grown ups."
"Investigate which wizarding academies are currently engaged in a war with the elemental arcane arts and are affiliated with the Crimson Eye."
Ian said.
He believes that the number of colleges that can be used as assessment targets is certainly limited, and may even be only a few.
If we can find it.
This allows you to prepare in advance.
Just one day later.
Farn then gathered all the information.
"So many?"
Ian looked at the data in surprise; there were as many as fourteen wizarding academies that had directly or indirectly engaged in battles with the elemental mystic arts.
Even if you remove some that are obviously impossible, there are still enough for six.
In other words, it's highly likely that he won't be able to make preparations in advance.
"Then we can only prepare for all eventualities."
Ian sighed.
On the one hand, he will definitely continue to try to improve his strength and weaknesses during these three months, after all, war is not like before.
on the other hand.
Information on witchcraft artifacts, potions, and war must also be prepared, especially the last one.
"Or perhaps this is one of the tests of the core, and the supporting forces, channels, etc. are also part of the wizard's foundation."
Ian took a deep breath.
Fortunately, his background wasn't too bad either.
Information can be obtained from the Edward family and Kieran's channels, while artifacts can be obtained from the Alchemy Department.
On the contrary, potions are a bit more troublesome; obtaining top-tier potions is not so simple.
We'll have to look into this through multiple channels.
"It's time to go to the Alchemy Department."
Ian pondered.
His flying shuttle has been in the Alchemy Department for several years, and the reason he hasn't been able to retrieve it is entirely because it has been constantly being upgraded.
It wasn't until several months ago that it was finally fixed.
This is also the troublesome aspect of large-scale magical artifacts; both their production and upgrading require a large amount of manpower and resources.
soon.
He arrived at the Alchemy Department.
Looking at everything familiar before him, Ian took a deep breath and strode inside.
"Lord Ian."
"You've arrived!"
The wizards who passed by greeted Ian.
Ian was not surprised at all.
After all, he was a core member who came from the Alchemy Department, and even though he refined less after advancing to the core level, he still came to the Alchemy Department often, since he had to become a familiar face.
"Ian, are you here to retrieve your airship?"
A silver-clad figure appeared before Ian, her face filled with surprise.
"Yes."
Ian gave Thea a hug, and the two chatted as they headed toward the center of the Alchemy Department.
The first person I visited was Augusto.
"Lord Augusto."
Upon entering the office, Ian bowed respectfully.
"Good lad."
Augusto looked Ian up and down, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes, because he sensed the aura of a semi-elemental being.
"You advanced?"
"Yes."
Ian nodded.
Having received the answer, Augusto nodded in satisfaction: "So, what brings you here this time?"
"My lord, I wish to retrieve my flying shuttle and, at the same time, purchase some top-tier first-level magical artifacts."
Ian stated his demands.
"Can."
Augusto nodded, stood up, and walked towards the door, saying, "Come with me; the changes to your shuttle may exceed your expectations."
"Oh?"
Curiosity flashed in Ian's eyes.
soon.
In a huge indoor space, Ian saw his flying shuttle, and his eyes lit up with surprise.
All I could see was the ground.
A shuttle, only about three meters long, came to a slow stop. It was entirely gray-black and had a very high-quality feel.
Augusto explained, "The new Swift Shuttle has shrunk in size once again, but its anti-peeping performance and speed have been greatly enhanced. Its top speed has reached 1,500 kilometers per hour. No one within the first ring can catch up with you. The anti-peeping runes have been upgraded to the second tier, so wizards below the semi-elemental level cannot detect its existence at all."
One thousand and five?
Ian opened his mouth wide.
Theoretically, a wizard at the first level can only reach a speed of 500 to 600 kilometers per hour, but with some special enhancements, they might be able to go even faster.
But it's absolutely impossible to reach that number.
Even within the Second Ring Road...
No, the Second Ring Road uses other methods.
"Of course, the surprises don't stop there." Augusto walked to the airship and tapped it gently, revealing fine golden patterns.
As an alchemist.
Ian's mouth dropped open instantly.
"This airship can teleport short distances. If the situation is dangerous, it can perform a short-distance space jump of five kilometers. If you are a second-ring wizard, it might be fine, but you are only a first-ring wizard. You might have to burn at least 100,000 magic stones at once," Augusto warned.
"Understood."
Ian nodded.
Airships require magic, which can be supplied by wizards or provided by magic stones.
"Is this a second-tier airship?"
Ian asked.
Augusto shook his head and said, "For your convenience, it is still Tier 1, and even the warp rune is Tier 1. Tier 1 airships cannot support it, so the power uses Tier 2 frequency reduction, so the consumption may be greater than that of a normal airship. But we have also left room for upgrades. When you advance to Tier 2 in the future, you can try to upgrade it yourself."
"I see."
Ian nodded.
Even so, it was enough to satisfy Ian. As long as he kept his distance, once he entered the airship, most dangers would be far away from him.
Moreover, he was well aware that the manufacturing difficulty of this level of airship was actually no less than that of a regular second-tier airship.
"Thank you, Minister!"
Ian expressed his gratitude.
"You come from our Alchemy Department."
Augusto patted him on the shoulder and said, "Come with me. I'll let you choose a set of magical artifacts; you can rent them directly, no need to buy them."
"Rent?"
Ian was taken aback.
"Don't forget, the Alchemy Department is also your support." Augusto glanced at him and said, "You came from here. You can take a first-tier magical artifact if you need it, and return it later. If you use it, just pay the cost."
Hiss!
Ian's lips twitched.
I didn't know you could play like this.
"Come on, you've been to the warehouse many times, go get it yourself."
"Yes, sir."
soon.
Two hours passed.
Ian emerged from the storeroom, carrying several inconspicuous small items.
A light blue elemental amulet, a top-tier first-level item, hung at his waist, capable of withstanding one fatal second-level attack.
On her left wrist she wears a snake-shaped ring that doubles the speed of wound healing when activated. On her right wrist is a silver bracelet that can remove abnormal statuses. Her leg guards, resembling bandages, can enhance her resonance with the earth element.
He wore two rings on each hand, each corresponding to one of the four elements: red, yellow, blue, and cyan. Each ring could increase the resonance level of a semi-elemental wizard by three percent.
All of the above-mentioned magical artifacts are top-tier artifacts of the first level.
In addition, Ian's storage ring also contained about ten semi-elemental alchemical bombs.
"Sir, isn't this too much?"
Ian couldn't help but twitch as he glanced at Augusto behind him.
This support is incredible!
After using this technique, he felt that his combat power had increased by at least 30% or 40%, or even more.
"Normally, core assessments don't allow the use of only witchcraft artifacts and potions, but this time is different."
Augusto said seriously, "The other core members will inevitably be the same, especially the top wizards, who will only become more exaggerated. And you are from our Alchemy Department, so don't embarrass us. This is also Minister Darwin's intention."
Ian's gaze immediately turned serious.
If that's the case, then these are truly indispensable.
"but....
'
He was deeply moved.
Even the top-ranked player probably doesn't have equipment that's much better than his.
can only say.
It feels so good to have a department.
"The Alchemy Department will always be your home."
Augusto patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go back and prepare; this is going to be a big operation."
"clear."
Ian nodded solemnly.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months have passed.
Inside the Wizard Tower.
Ian slowly got up, sensing his own condition.
"The fire element resonance is 85%, and the others are all above 73%."
These three months.
He is improving regardless of the cost; it can only be said that his talent is definitely sufficient at present, hence the significant improvement.
He even completed the fourth level of meditation, which further enhanced his spiritual foundation.
Of course, there were also regrets.
"Top-tier potions are hard to come by!"
Ian opened his storage ring, took out a box, opened it, and found three bottles of potions inside.
These are the Blue Ocean Potion, the Crimson Blood Potion, and the Soul Burning Potion.
They are used to replenish mental energy, life force, and enhance combat effectiveness at critical moments.
Unlike usual, these are all top-tier masterpieces among first-class items.
So he only managed to buy one bottle of each.
"I'll have the chance to practice on my own sooner or later."
Ian shook his head.
I tidied up my things.
Then he went outside and headed towards the Star Palace.
Today is the day for the college-wide core assessment.
They arrived at the Star Palace quickly.
Ian looked around.
All the wizards present were clearly fully armed, their clothing and magical artifacts gleaming with the light of high-level magical implements.
That's quite reasonable.
After all, the wizards here are either geniuses or have powerful families supporting them.
Although it's not as good as his equipment, it's enough.
In front of the main hall.
The Fifth Academy and the Second Ring Road are already in place, but this time Simon is not a projection, but a real person.
Look at this third-ringed great wizard.
Every wizard present felt their bodies tremble instinctively, suppressed by a pure life force.
The wizards around them also seemed to exude a chilling aura, many of whom appeared to be warband wizards.
The atmosphere made all the wizards present turn serious.
However, the first two core assessment criteria remain unchanged.
It still comes down to assessing resonance and conquering the tower.
The use of witchcraft tools is not allowed.
Therefore, the wizards quickly put away all the magical artifacts and prepared to test them.
soon.
The familiar pressure returned.
One by one, the wizards could no longer withstand the strain, and soon only thirty wizards remained.
A while later.
There were only twenty-five people.
Ian was among them.
He still felt he had energy to spare.
Meanwhile, many wizards who had stopped were watching Ian, especially those from the Four Symbols Academy.
"He has indeed broken through to the semi-elemental level."
West looked at Adela beside him and remarked with emotion.
There have been rumors lately that Ian has broken through to semi-elementalization. He was unsure whether it was true or not, but seeing how relaxed Ian looked today, it was obviously true.
"Semi-elementalization!"
Greenwing, who knew Ian, sighed as he realized he only had a 60-70% resonance level with him.
It can only be said that the gap between him and Ian is widening.
"Semi-elementalization!"
Leng Bai's face was also grim. Back then, Ian hadn't even become a semi-elemental being, and he still couldn't beat him.
If they were to fight now, he would probably be even less likely to win.
He feels like the top three seats are getting further and further away from him!
But soon.
The wizards present gradually sensed that something was wrong.
Didn't you just advance to semi-elementalization?
How come the ranking is still rising?
Twenty-five.
Twenty-three.
twenty.
Ultimately, Ian's ranking settled at seventeenth, which is a very high position that the top three can achieve.
After all, there are only fifteen people in total, including the chief and the second-in-command, and their elementalization is basically over 90%.
Even in the Shishoin Temple.
Ian's ranking even surpassed Sofia's, reaching fourth place, and he wasn't far from third.
At this moment, Ian was like a dark horse.
It was noticed by all the wizards.
Not to mention the core members, even the second-ring members of several academies all had their eyes on Ian.
If we say...
Previously, Ian was only noticed by the wizards of the Four Symbols Academy, but now it's completely different.
Ian at this moment.
For the first time, the entire academy's core leadership paid real attention to this.
Even if it's not much.
But it also means that Ian has entered the true forefront of the Five Houses' core.
"Ian!"
Sophia looked at Ian as he walked over, her expression complicated. She never expected that she would be surpassed by Ian like this.
"Ian."
Flynn behind him was also surprised, while Ivan beside him stared intently at Ian as if he were a huge threat.
"Half-elementalization plus five crystals, this ranking is not high."
Ian, however, had his own judgment.
He must secure enough benefits in a safe location, otherwise a third round will be very difficult.
This is one of the reasons why he wanted to take full action.
soon.
The second round begins.
Break through the tower.
Because it is ultimately an environmental tower, it cannot perfectly release the numerous imprints within the physical body and Ian's body.
Therefore, Ian's ranking is twenty-second.
Two rounds later.
Ian's ranking has risen to nineteenth.
At this point, no wizard dared to ignore Ian, because what was terrifying was that...
Ian at this moment.
His ranking has risen to third in the Shishoin, just below Ivan and Flynn.
They reached the second position.
But before anyone could be surprised, Simon calmly looked at everyone and said, "The current rankings are not important. In the third round of assessments, we will launch a surprise attack on Ironthorn Wizard Academy."
"Everyone, get ready."
He paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone.
"Only those who come back alive have the right to talk about rankings."
