walked around quietly, ignoring the gazes from all around. Athir calmly walked to the side and stopped at a stall.
This was a stall he had specially applied for a few days ago, in order to deal with some medicinal herbs that he had accidentally obtained during his patrol missions, and it just happened to be of use now.
Seeing Athir's actions, the apprentices around him moved their eyes slightly and walked over.
"How much is this Ganmore wolf?" Looking at the giant wolf in front of Athir, an apprentice couldn't help but ask.
"Fifteen magic stones."
Turning around and glancing at the apprentice who had spoken, Athir lowered his head in thought, and then quoted the price.
This price is almost astronomical for an ordinary apprentice, but it is not outrageous for this Ganmore wolf.
The Ganmore wolves themselves are very powerful, and even ordinary individuals among them can be compared with the great knights. The current one is the best among them. The demonized blood contained in it must be much stronger than that of its peers, and its value is correspondingly higher.
This powerful creature with demonic blood is definitely a very good choice, whether it is tamed through special means, used to extract the special blood within, or used for various experiments. Even formal wizards will need it, and the price of fifteen magic stones is not too expensive.
Around, a group of apprentices were shocked when they heard the price quoted by Athir.
Most of them are ordinary apprentices with ordinary backgrounds. Because the families behind them are not strong, the magic stones they can provide are limited. Just like Athir before, they are only enough for daily studies in the academy and cannot provide extra magic stones.
"Fifteen magic stones... this price is very fair."
While most of the apprentices were scared away, some apprentices who knew the value of the goods nodded and were very satisfied with the price: "This Ganmore wolf..."
"I'll offer twenty magic stones!" A cold voice suddenly came from a distance, interrupting the apprentice's voice.
Everyone turned around and saw a thin figure in a black robe walking towards them in the distance.
He was a young man with a pale face, wearing a black-sleeved robe and a three-patterned badge on his chest, proving his identity as a third-class apprentice.
"It's Lady Emma!!"
When they saw this man's face, the apprentices around him gasped: "This is the master of the third-class apprentice. Why did he come here so early today?"
Upon seeing Emma, the apprentice who had made the bid earlier stopped talking. It was obvious that he was intimidated by the other party's reputation and did not dare to compete.
"How about giving me twenty magic stones and this mutant Ganmore wolf?"
Walking closer and looking at the giant wolf in front of her, Emma studied it for a long time before speaking.
He happened to be doing some difficult experiments recently, which required the rare blood of some powerful creatures. He had been worrying about this recently, and now that he had come across it, he naturally would not let it go.
Hearing what the other party said, Athir was a little surprised.
However, since he could sell it at a higher price, he naturally wouldn't object, so he nodded directly: "Deal."
"It's been a pleasure working with you."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Emma's pale face.
He took out a cloth bag from his waist, took out two medium-sized magic stones from it in front of the apprentices around him, and handed them directly to Athir.
"I am a student of Mentor Shiva. If you can catch a creature with such powerful blood in the future, please inform me immediately. I will definitely satisfy you with the price."
Before leaving, he threw these words to Athir, and then left in a hurry.
In front of him, several puppets were carrying a giant wolf and slowly following Emma in front.
Watching the apprentices around him gradually disperse, Atier shook his head, put away the things in front of him, and prepared to leave.
afternoon.
Atier walked hurriedly on the road of the academy, heading quickly towards the teaching area.
"Today is the beginning of the pharmacy class. I wonder how much harder this class will be compared to the last one."
As he walked on the road, Athir thought so in his heart.
At this time, several days had passed since the last pharmacy class. During this time, through repeated playback of the chip, he had mastered all the content of the last class.
After a while, I walked into the classroom and found that many apprentices were already there. However, compared to the last time, the number of people this time was much smaller, almost half as many.
After finding a random seat and sitting down, Athir glanced around but didn't find anyone familiar.
The last time, no apprentice came to attend the class except him.
There were other apprentices talking quietly around him, and from their conversation, Athir understood that most of these apprentices were not attending the class for the first time. Most of them were apprentices who did not understand the class last time and came to listen again this time.
Hearing this, Atier was speechless.
Before I had time to think about anything, a figure in front of me quickly walked out of the door at the side.
Simora was dressed in a black robe, and his wrinkled face looked a little impatient at this moment, and he quickly walked to the podium in front.
When he arrived at the classroom, he glanced down and showed no reaction to the small number of people attending the class. It was obvious that he was used to it.
It was not until he saw Athir that a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and he nodded slightly.
"Okay, this class is still about the basics of pharmacy, but it will be much more difficult than the last one."
Standing on the podium, Simora moved his fingers slightly, and a pile of experimental instruments automatically came in front of him.
"This time, in addition to explaining the basics, we also need to observe real experiments..."
As the course officially began, the apprentices in the room subconsciously sat up straight, their faces became much more focused, and they listened carefully to the explanation of instructor Simora in front of them.
After several hours passed, the class ended amid the confused looks of many apprentices.
"Okay, today's class ends here."
Looking at the appearance of the apprentice below, Simora shook his head and looked away.
In that corner, Athir was sitting quietly. Compared with other apprentices in the classroom, he seemed very calm and composed. He was sitting there looking at him.
"I'll give you another ten minutes."
Looking at Athir's appearance, Simora, who was about to leave, paused and said this sentence in the surprised eyes of many apprentices below.
The meaning of this statement is very clear, which is to set aside some time to answer the doubts of the apprentices below.
Looking at Simora in front of him, a hint of surprise flashed in Athir's eyes.
Such opportunities are rare. Wizards' time is often very precious. In the past, not to mention formal wizards, even third-class apprentices rarely stayed after the lectures to answer questions for these low-level apprentices.
Although he was surprised, Athir did not hesitate in taking action.
Most of those present were low-level apprentices, and neither their reaction nor their speed could compare with him, the top knight, so he was the first one to rush to the front.
Ten minutes passed quickly.
During this process, although Athir only had time to ask two questions, he was very satisfied as it saved him a lot of time of exploration.
After leaving the teaching area, Athir returned to his accommodation and stayed quietly in the room meditating.
···············
More than three months later.
Sitting in front of the bed in the spacious room, Athir closed his eyes silently.
After more than three months of meditation, Athir can now meditate out all 36 spiritual runes in the basic meditation method at once, and is only one step away from being promoted to a second-class apprentice.
Sitting in front of the bed, as Athir closed his eyes, darkness shrouded him.
As each spiritual rune was meditated out, in the dark space, the energy particles in the surrounding space were sensed by him, quietly floating in the surrounding space, drifting everywhere.
Sensing Athir's mental fluctuations, these energy particles also showed different states and began to be affected by his spirit.
"Thirty-six runes have been meditated on, it's time to pull in the energy particles."
Feeling the various energy particles floating in the surrounding space, Athir's heart calmed down and this thought flashed through his mind.
As his mind moved, the surrounding energy particles began to be slowly affected by him and slowly floated towards his body.
The process went smoothly.
To pull energy particles, one only needs enough mental power and the special techniques recorded in the meditation method. In this regard, Athir's mental power is already strong, and after training in the meditation method, he has definitely reached the standard of pulling energy particles.
"It worked..."
After a while, he quietly came out of meditation, opened his eyes, and muttered to himself.
"Sure enough, plant and light energy particles are the easiest to attract. Although energy particles of other properties do not reject my spirit, the difficulty of attracting them has increased a lot."
Recalling the feeling just now, Athir concluded: "It seems that in the future, when meditating, I should mainly attract plants and light particles. As for particles of other properties, I only need to attract a small number."
Thinking about the scene when he was meditating just now, this thought flashed through his mind, and then he turned to look at his physical fitness.
"Name: Athir Fakus. Strength: 11.2. Agility: 11.4. Constitution: 11.5."
"It has come to this."
Looking at his physical condition, Atier sighed softly.
Although meditation mainly improves the spirit, it also has a training effect on the body. In nearly a year, his physical fitness, which had reached its limit, was enhanced to this level.
"My physical fitness has already reached the limit of a great knight during meditation. After meditation training, it has still increased so much. I guess the growth of others is even more terrifying."
"An apprentice with wizard qualifications, even if he was just an ordinary person before, as long as he keeps meditating, after reaching the second-class apprentice, his physical fitness will probably not be inferior to that of some powerful knights."
Sitting on the bedside, thinking of this, Athir was somewhat speechless: "With this level, it's no wonder that those wizard families look down on knights. I'm afraid that after reaching the third-level apprentice, even if the apprentice himself has not received any training, his physical strength will not be inferior to that of the great knight."
"With this level of physical fitness, coupled with the powerful force of magic, as long as he doesn't run into a peak knight like me, he can dominate among the knights."
Sitting on the bed, Athir stretched out his hand.
As his mind moved, a bit of the magic power that had just condensed in his body was used, attracting the surrounding energy particles, which slowly gathered in his hands and emitted a light green light.
"Second-class apprentice... I have finally achieved that."
Looking at the scene before him and feeling the power that was completely different from the knight system, Athir couldn't help but sigh.
Among the three stages before becoming a formal wizard, the first-class apprentice is only stronger in spirit than ordinary people, and his physical fitness will gradually improve under the training of meditation. Compared with ordinary people, he can only learn faster and have a stronger physical fitness.
Only after becoming a second-class apprentice can one truly possess some of the powers of a wizard. Not only can one attract the energy particles in the world, but one can also learn some basic spells based on this.
At this point, the wizard apprentice is considered truly powerful. Not only does he have strong physical fitness, but he also has spells as a means of attack. His combat power is far stronger than that of an ordinary knight.
