"If I have a 100% capture participation rate, how much reward will it provide me?"
Peter excitedly wondered.
In addition to the information about the prisoner Oddssen, there was also information about himself.
[Host: Peter]
[Level: Apprentice Wizard, Level 0 (0/100)]
[Magic: None]
[Magic Power: 100]
He knew that magic power could increase his strength.
These 100 magic power were given to him when he imprisoned Oddssen.
If the prisoner was stronger, he would be given more!
Currently, Peter didn't know any magic, so he was at level zero. At the very least, he needed to learn the most basic magic to be considered a beginner.
But no matter what, this was a good start!
Peter found that it took 100 magic power to level up.
To level up!
He chose to level up without hesitation.
Instantly, Peter felt a surge of heat flowing into his body.
It made him feel incredibly comfortable!
The chilling sensation that permeated his body while being in the dungeon was swept away in that instant!
[Level: Apprentice Wizard, Level 1 (0/200)]
He had indeed leveled up!
Peter was extremely excited!
He silently sensed it.
Although he still didn't know any magic, he could clearly feel the magic power surging within him.
He had successfully become a wizard!
One had to know that if he followed the conventional route, he would need to meditate for at least three years before he could successfully produce magic power in his body.
But now, this process took less than a second!
Not only that.
Peter also noticed that his previously weak body had become much stronger!
It was truly a surprise!
Peter came from a poor family and had suffered from malnutrition since childhood, resulting in his physical fitness being significantly worse than his peers.
Now, this problem had been solved!
These were just the benefits of reaching the first level as an apprentice wizard. There would be even more benefits to come!
Of course.
Peter knew.
This was the effect of consuming 100 points of magic power.
Now that his magic power was completely depleted, reaching the next level would require 200 magic power.
Based on the progress of gaining 10 magic power per hour, it would take 20 hours!
But it didn't matter!
It meant that as long as he stayed in the Wizard Tower, his strength would continue to improve.
Someday, he would definitely become an Advanced Wizard!
Peter couldn't help but start to envision a bright future!
All of this was thanks to the amazing magic book!
...
Nighttime.
Peter returned to his dormitory.
All the apprentice wizards resided in several cottages on the left side of the Wizard Tower.
Each room accommodated many people, making the already simple rooms appear even more cluttered.
It was late at night.
Everyone blew out the candles and went back to their beds to rest.
Peter couldn't sleep.
If everything went as planned, he would be able to obtain 200 magic power by tomorrow evening!
By then, in addition to leveling up, he would also have to consider learning magic.
It would be pathetic if he improved his strength but didn't know any magic!
So, Peter began to make various plans for himself.
He didn't know how much time had passed before he gradually drifted off to sleep.
...
The next day.
Peter got up very early.
Because he had encountered the underground area yesterday, Junior Wizard Colot, who was responsible for managing the apprentice wizards, specifically assigned Peter to the underground area.
He was tasked with patrolling the Wizard Tower.
Especially the underground areas!
They needed to ensure the seals in the underground area remained intact at all times. If there was any damage, Peter had to promptly inform Colot.
Then they would reinforce the seals to prevent those guys from escaping!
At the same time, Peter had to use the handbook to verify the prisoners one by one.
This was his daily job, a boring and dry job.
Fortunately, Peter only needed to patrol the first underground floor.
The lower regions naturally had more powerful wizards on patrol!
Today, Peter was patrolling while checking the list of prisoners in the handbook.
At this moment, Peter arrived at the door where the Dark Wizard Oddssen, from yesterday, was being held.
Bang!
Suddenly, a muffled sound startled Peter as he passed by.
He looked in the direction of the iron door and saw a face appearing through the small window on the door.
It was the Dark Wizard Oddssen!
"Water, I need water..."
Oderson's voice was hoarse.
Only now did Peter realize that since being imprisoned here, Oddssen hadn't eaten or drunk anything.
Although the Dark Wizard was extremely wicked, he still needed water.
Perhaps Peter should really find him some water to drink.
Otherwise, he might die of thirst!
But then Peter thought about the terrifying scenes from yesterday. Coupled with the fact that Dark Wizards were cunning individuals, who knew if Oddssen would set a trap for him?
This made Peter shudder with fear!
"Please, give me some water to drink. I'm dying of thirst..."
Oddssen begged.
Looking at him, it seemed like he was really thirsty.
He even tried to stretch his hand out of the small window.
But as soon as his hand touched the window, a bolt of electricity flashed, causing Oddssen to scream in agony.
Peter didn't dare to get close, but he was afraid that Oddssen would die.
Because if he died, Peter would lose his only source of magic power.
Thinking of this, Peter overcame his fear and said to Oddson, "Wait a moment!"
Said that, he turned around and ran out.
After a while, he came back with a kettle.
Aside from the monsters that didn't require food, there were still many humans among those imprisoned here.
Like these Dark Wizards.
Therefore, the Wizard Tower would regularly provide them with food.
On the door of the cell, there was a small opening designed specifically for delivering food without triggering the seal on the door.
Peter poured the water into the small opening, and Oddssen immediately leaned down and started gulping it from the trough behind the door.
After doing all this, Peter turned around and left.
However, he had another thought in his mind.
That was, although the magic book could bring him magic power to increase his strength, it needed the imprisoned person to be alive.
If he died, he would lose his source of magic power.
This was a drawback!
As he thought about it, Peter had already left the underground area and returned to the Wizard Tower.
As he walked, he was thinking, but he accidentally bumped into someone.
"I'm sorry!"
Peter quickly apologized.
At the same time, he raised his head. What entered his eyes was a white robe!
Looking up along the robe.
What Peter saw was a strand of white beard hanging down to the chest and a face that, despite being wrinkled and slightly aged, exuded a dignified aura.
This was...
Advanced Wizard, the Inspector General Alfred!
