Julian put a lot of thought why he chose an elf based on the information Prima gave to him. First of all, he finally confirmed that elves really do have long lifespan and they age very slowly. He found out that an elf's body has some kind of pattern when it changes again. An elf usually stops aging when they reach the age of thirty-five and retains their youthful body until they reach seven years old.
The elves were also very sensitive to magic and very good on Scribbling. Scribbling is the process of engraving a magic skill on a crystal to be used whenever the user wanted. Julian assumed that Kristine is a scribbler because he used that kind of skill when he arrived in town but he needed it confirm it first.
Elves are also very agile because they are blessed with the wind magic affinity. Some of the most powerful elves recorded by Prima were very powerful wind magic mages but their current king was an earth mage.
Elves are also the most trusted creatures in the planet because they really honor their promises as if their lives depended on it. It's really a shame that the elves community is divided by Progressors and Constants because that will make it difficult for Julian infiltrate them.
"We are here" Prima led them to the pond where he was staying.
"For the last phase, Phantasma will carve in to your body the symbol of your magic element, well by using that same element to form it. On a normal day, your dominant element will be the only symbol carved in your body, however you passed the two-hundredth level on every single element on the first phase so Phantasma will carve every single element symbol in your body except the lightning element which will be carved on Jolly Joker."
"My brother Prima told you that to level up a Permanent Fool you have to inflict damage to it. You see the carving process will use a skill with an intensity based on the level you reached on the first phase. So you will receive a level nine hundred water skill to form your water symbol while Jolly Joker will receive a level one thousand skill for his lightning symbol. The higher the level, the more life-like and detailed the symbol becomes. See, here's my symbol." Pascal showed a white colored tattoo on his back.
"My little brother is right. Although the power used in this process, you can be sure that it will not kill you and Jolly Joker will successfully absorbed the skill it will receive and it will not be destroyed. You will feel the pain but it won't ruin the clothes you are wearing. After the symbols are carved, both of you jump in the pond and stay there for a minute."
The water, wind, fire, earth, light and void skill finally appeared out of nowhere and targeted the forehead, right shoulder, left shoulder, right chest, left chest and left eye respectively. Julian never felt pain that severe in his entire life that he can't help but shout out. Jolly Joker stood there insanely laughing beside him as if trying to anger the lightning magic element attacking his right eye. The attack lasted for an hour and both of them were now kneeling weakly in front of the pond. Prima sighed when he saw that the two have no strength to jump into the pond anymore so he pushed them in and fished them out afterwards.
Julian laid there weakly while Jolly Joker laid unconscious beside him.
"Kid, Jolly will be unconscious for some time while he absorb and learn. It may take weeks or months. Normally you can never put a living being inside a ring but the Luxxor's Twin ring can do that with the condition that the ring split and the other one was wearing it to come in or vice versa. Well just probe it yourself." Pascal explained why Jolly was unconscious and helped Julian get another info about his ring.
"Child what you experience here must make you think that you are already strong, however, this just reveals the starting line of your journey and the things that you have in order to reach your goals. Hard work will help you get stronger and don't rely heavily on the results today. I can tell you that someone who exited here with level fifty dominant magic element can beat you if you don't do something."
"I heard that some creatures brag their results when they go out from here feeling superior about themselves. It's not bad to be proud of himself but too much pride will hinder your development. Heed my words Julian James, it's better to have good allies than to be strong alone however you also need to be strong to be respected."
"If you ever face a strong genie in the future, do your best to shout 'nobles forma' and if he stops tell him 'Prima is a friend'. If not, then you are on your own. If I or my brother Pascal ever go out of here early, don't mention the Fool's Gold to us. We won't remember it and it would be a shame to kill you. But we will remember that you are a friend."
Julian slowly stood up and brought Jolly and the treasure chest inside his ring. Prima waved his hand and a red door appeared behind Julian. He turned around and entered the door leaving the two genies after waving goodbye.
