Chapter 288 Making up One's Mind

The Dongdu Enchanting Guild is not only an organization that manages enchanters and sorts out enchanting tasks, but also a holy place for learning enchanting knowledge. The guild library has a ladder of advancement.

After Ivan discovered this, he spent a lot of time swimming in the ocean of knowledge in the library.

He recently learned that there are so many categories of rune magic arrays according to their effects, including: resource, protection, sacrifice, psychedelic, tracking, energy gathering, mutagenesis, sacrifice, sealing, curse, strong negative, etc.

There are also many uncommon ones, such as combined attack magic arrays, gravitational magic arrays, gravity magic arrays, etc.

There are also taboos, such as the legendary "soul sacrifice", "cage of greed", "life stealing", "soul transfer", etc.

The more Ivan learned, the more he felt the profoundness of enchantment and runes, and felt that he had many shortcomings.

As time passed, his knowledge of runes and enchantments became more comprehensive, and his knowledge increased greatly.

That day, Ivan heard a piece of news and went to the research room to ask Mendane again.

"Wizard Ivan, you definitely won't come to me if you have nothing to do. Tell me, do you want to find out something from me?" Mendane asked after a few pleasantries.

"The one who knows me is Elder Mendane." Ivan was not ashamed to admit it.

"Haha, do you want to ask about Wizard Barney?" Mendane pointed at him and laughed.

"Yes, I heard that Wizard Barney wants to recruit a few assistants to continue to deepen the flashing token. That's right." Ivan said. He is now exploring spatial abilities through his clone Locke.

Wizard Barney recruiting people to study the flashing token is a rare opportunity for him.

"Wizard Barney said that the transfer of the flashing token is too random, and there are great hidden dangers. He wants to find three guild elders to help correct the problems. After the problems are improved, it will be promoted through the guild to benefit the entire wizarding world."

Mendane didn't keep the secret and directly told the inside story he knew. It can be seen that he is looking forward to it.

"Does this require an application?" Ivan asked hurriedly.

"Just tell Wizard Barney, I can pass on a message for you, or you can come and recommend yourself." Mendane shook his head slightly, and then added: "But he should find someone he knows, or a famous elder."

Ivan understood what he meant. His reputation in the guild was not prominent, and the other party was unlikely to choose him.

Despite this, Ivan still asked him to ask for him.

"Wizard Barney said, thank you for your kindness, but he already has a candidate." After a while, Mendane received a reply with an expected result.

"Is that so." Ivan was a little regretful.

"Wizard Ivan, don't be discouraged. With your talent, as long as you carry out research step by step, you will sooner or later reach the level of Wizard Barney." Mendane comforted.

Ivan was introduced to the guild by him, so he naturally hoped that Ivan would rise step by step and even become famous all over the world.

"Good words from you."

Being rejected was the first time for Ivan, and it was impossible to say that he didn't have some thoughts in his mind.

It seems that he has to start his own project as soon as possible. It is inconvenient to be unfamous. He has been in Dongdu for a while, but he has not received any serious invitations. It is obvious.

Either follow the rules of the Five-Leaf Spear to make trouble, or apply for enchantment research in the guild.

After careful consideration, Ivan made a decision.

One day later, the guild received a project application, the content of which was "High probability of promoting apprentices to become wizards in the formation research-deep development of magic stone and magic copper", and applied for a large amount of magic copper as research materials.

Not long after, Vice President Angus summoned Ivan for questioning.

Ivan hurried over, but found Mendane not far from the wizard tower.

When he approached, Mendane grabbed him and pulled him to one side.

"Wizard Ivan, I admit that what I said that day was a joke, you must not take it seriously." Mendane said seriously.

Ivan understood that he was talking about using the project to defraud the guild's resources.

"You think too much. I'm 80-90% sure about the project I applied for. I won't do anything that will lead me to depravity." Ivan replied with a smile. He didn't blame the other party for questioning him.

In fact, his project was completed when he was in the Moon Clamp Peninsula, otherwise how could Jiusiti and Cody become wizards.

The reason why he applied for such a project was nothing more than to make a name for himself in one fell swoop, and at the same time borrow the resources of the guild to continue to improve the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array and re-refine the Black Magic Wind and Fire Beads.

Such actions are normal operations of enchanters and have nothing to do with "cheating resources".

"As expected?"

"As expected."

After confirming again and again, seeing that he answered decisively, Mendane let go of his hand.

"Go, go, Angus the wizard is waiting for you. If you convince him, the project is basically done. Others won't make things difficult for you." Mendane put aside his worries and turned away.

Mendane probably didn't tell Angus about what happened that day. When Ivan met Angus, he just asked a few questions about the topic. After seeing that he answered fluently, he approved his application on the spot.

However, the topic application still needs the approval of another vice president.

According to Mendane, as long as wizard Angus agrees, it will just be a formality. Other vice presidents will not refuse Angus's face and embarrass someone who applied for a research topic for the first time.

After waiting for another three days, there was no inquiry from others, and the topic application was indeed approved.

After receiving the notice, Ivan received a large amount of raw materials from the Enchanting Guild's secret vault, including a large amount of red magic copper and gray magic copper, which made him sigh at the wealth of the guild.

However, if the research failed, there would be no such good thing next time.

In the following days, most of his thoughts were devoted to the research on the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array and Wind and Fire Pearl.

…

Time is like a knife, and two years have passed in one cut.

Xunmu Tower, Enchanting Workshop.

"It's reached the limit."

Looking at the rune magic array he arranged, Ivan smiled and nodded.

With the support of the guild, after such a long period of exploration, he has upgraded the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array to 25 rune bundles, crossing the threshold of the intermediate rune magic array.

Not long ago, he re-refined the Black Magic Wind and Fire Pearl and successfully engraved 24 rune bundles on it.

They are all intermediate rune magic arrays, and the difference between 24 and 25 is not obvious. Compared with the original, the Black Magic Wind and Fire is more targeted in dealing with spirits, and the restraint of mental power has also been greatly improved.

In contrast, the power of his Black Magic Hand has further increased and become more diversified.

However, after the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array reached 25 rune bundles, the efficiency of improvement became slow, so he had to stop temporarily.

[Enchanting Experience +3]

[Enchanting: lv9 (174/5000)]

Ivan glanced at the academic master panel, and sure enough, even the growth of experience value became slow.

The study and exploration during this period of time has increased his experience value in many subjects, especially enchantment, rune, energy particle, meditation, plane, and curse.

Among them, enchantment was upgraded to level 9, becoming the second level 9 subject after Knight Breathing.

Energy particle was upgraded to level 7.

He naturally obtained a level 9 wisdom light and a level 7 great wisdom light.

However, he also consumed one wisdom light and one great wisdom light during this period. Since then, there are still four wisdom lights and five great wisdom lights on the Xueba panel.

"Wizard Mendane must have been waiting for a long time. I will sort it out and give him an answer in a few days, and also give the guild a satisfactory explanation."

Ivan was satisfied with this research.

He stretched and walked slowly to the next room.

The room seemed empty, with only a large pool in the middle. The pool was covered with vines and was about to overflow from the pool.

If you look closely, you will find that the pool is actually a kind of tree root, and the color of the tree root is the same as that of the rock.

"I want to see how long you can grow."

Ivan came to the side of the pool, and with a casual move, several darker "yellow rock water" flew over and fell into the pool one by one.

These are the liquid medicines he refined with the lower element crystals of the earth system.

The cultivation of Pan Tiegen has become a little fun in his spare time.

To be honest, the Pantie root is indeed strange, as if it can be infinitely extended, but if it is cut off, the cut piece will lose its original vitality and hardness.

Moreover, under his continuous cultivation, a layer of rock crust has formed on the surface of the Pantie root.

It feels like it is about to shed its skin.

This makes Ivan more interested in cultivating it. For this reason, he also specially carved an earth-based energy-gathering array around the pool, using both arrays and liquid medicine.
