Strength: 2.7, Agility: 2.1, Constitution: 2.8, Spirit: 1.4
A film of light flashed in Ivan's vision, clearly showing his physical data.
This was the second day after he took the third bottle of azure potion. Together with the mountain monster potion, it brought about significant improvements on the second day, 0.1 strength, 0.1 agility, 0.2 constitution. When the effects of the potion ended, his constitution would hopefully reach the standard of a quasi-knight.
His eyes fell on the last item, 'Spirit'.
It was the highest item at the time, and he once joked that he was a spirited young man.
"Hope everything goes well."
He took a deep breath and went forward to ring the doorbell of the villa.
"Greetings, Madam Halaya."
"Morning, Mr. Ivan. Are you ready?"
"certainly."
The two men met and talked for a few words before a carriage stopped in front of the villa.
At the invitation of Mrs. Halaya, Ivan boarded the carriage with the aristocratic emblem. When he entered the carriage, he could smell a strong fragrance, which was slightly different from the fragrance of Mrs. Halaya.
The carriage started slowly. Ivan had no intention of distinguishing the difference in the aroma. He couldn't help but ask, "Madam, what do you need me to do later?"
Mrs. Halaya gave him a reassuring smile: "It's very simple. If you really want to talk, you need to pay the fee first."
"no problem."
Ivan did not suspect anything and simply handed over the prepared purse containing 15 gold coins.
He could make money, but it was not enough to cover his high expenses, so he was always tight on money. This time, in order to raise money, he commissioned Biman to sell a piece of azure potion, and got 20 gold coins, which was more than he expected.
The coachman drove the carriage towards the central area of the city and arrived at a house near the city lord's mansion.
"Ma'am, we're here."
Mrs. Halaya lifted the window curtain and signaled to the guard who came to open the door.
Ivan looked through the window and saw that it was a small manor-style house, much larger than his own villa. Moreover, this was the most central area of the city, so it must be the residence of a noble of higher status.
The carriage continued to move forward, and after dozens of seconds, it stopped in a hall on the side of the house.
Ivan got off the carriage first, then held his wife's hand and helped her down.
"Welcome, Lady Halaya."
The old butler took the two men to the side hall and asked them to wait for a moment.
After a while, a middle-aged noble man appeared. Through his greetings with Mrs. Halaya, Ivan learned that the man was Baron Carl, and his other identity was an official of Flying Fish Port, but his specific position was unknown.
Baron Carl did not ask about the test fee. He took out the box he carried with him, uncovered the blue satin wrapped around it, and took out a palm-length crystal rod with a slightly larger crystal round head.
Ivan couldn't help but look over there. The shape of this thing was hard to describe.
Baron Carl ordered: "Young man, hold it like I do and keep your eyes fixed on the crystal ball. Don't think about anything else." After that, he handed the crystal rod to the butler beside him.
The butler took it and brought it to Ivan.
"I see."
Ivan took the crystal rod from the butler and stared at the small crystal ball solemnly without blinking, trying to see clearly what was hidden inside. He fell into a trance inexplicably.
Instantly, the crystal ball emitted a soft light, from weak to strong, and finally froze.
The eyes of several people present lit up, and they saw a ray of green in the light.
When Ivan came to his senses, the light had already dissipated. Seeing several people staring at him, he couldn't help but ask, "How is it? Do you have the qualifications to be a wizard?"
Baron Carl smiled and replied, "Congratulations, Mr. Ivan, you have a valuable wizard qualification. According to the test just now, your wizard talent is at least second-class, and your main attribute affinity is plant-based."
Ivan was puzzled: "At least second class, what does this mean?"
He handed the item back to the butler, who carefully returned the box and placed it on the blue satin.
Baron Carl seemed very patient, pointing at the crystal stick and explaining: "The small crystal ball has limitations, it can only test your qualifications preliminarily. Your wizard talent should be above the second level. There are five levels of wizard talent, and the fifth level is the highest. This is good news for you.
If you want to further test your qualifications, you must find a real wizard. Attributes refer to elemental energy, including water, fire, ice, wind, earth, plants, etc. You are closer to plant energy. "
As the city lord's confidant, Baron Carl knows more secrets that are difficult for ordinary people to access.
Plant energy!
Ivan was stunned. No wonder he saw a green color in the crystal ball just now.
He didn't know which one was better. Anyway, as the Baron said, having wizard talent was good news, which meant there was a chance to embark on the path of a wizard.
"Sir Carl, where can I find a real wizard?"
Baron Karl expected him to ask: "Wait."
What kind of answer was this? Ivan was confused.
Before he could say anything, Baron Karl added: "Wait for the opportunity. A talented and hardworking young man like you will always be favored by fate. You just need to be more patient and wait quietly for the opportunity to come."
The Baron didn't want to say more and signaled the butler to see the guest off.
Ivan had no choice but to leave the manor with Mrs. Halaya.
Two days later.
Outside the city of Feiyu Port, located on the coast, in a cave under a remote cliff.
Roseside and Benson walked carefully along the steep path to the entrance of the cave. They looked at each other and became extremely alert, as they had both suffered a loss before.
"careful."
Roseside signaled Benson to enter the cave first, while he himself was alert to the movements behind.
The cave is rocky and connected to the sea on one side. Most of the area under the cave is immersed in sea water. The remaining land area is not very large and there are no twists and turns.
The entrance to the cave is on a higher ground, and you can see the entire interior by walking a few steps closer, but no one was seen.
Benson glanced fearfully at the innermost part of the cave connected to the sea, where there was a rotten shipwreck, which now looked even more dilapidated, with scattered insects flying around. This was the place where the three of them had encountered danger and had a falling out.
He shook his head and said behind him: "No one."
Rosaid stepped forward, holding the iron sword tightly in his hand, and shouted to a larger protruding rock: "Come out, Ivan, I see you. It's a good time for us to settle all the previous accounts and the humiliation you have brought upon us."
Benson held the sword in his hand horizontally in front of him, and with his other hand clenched into a fist and placed it forward, he looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
Inside the cave, there was no other sound except the sound of waves hitting the shore.
After a long moment, Benson turned his head and looked at him in confusion.
Roside's face darkened slightly: "I didn't come. Maybe he played a trick on me."
Naturally, he didn't notice the other people. He just wanted to trick Ivan, but the other party really didn't show up for the appointment, and their careful preparations were in vain.
"What do we do now?"
"Wait a little longer."
The two did not dare to take it lightly and remained on guard, slowly walking deeper into the cave.
When they reached the middle of the cave, they heard a sudden noise behind them. Roseside turned around quickly, only to see a figure behind them. It was the person they were looking for.
Ivan stood out alone, and while looking at the two of them, he said, "You didn't play any tricks. For this reason, I have to look up to you."
