Chapter 105 Ivan
Ivan is a fifth-level shadow mage who has just advanced. Since he advanced to the official shadow mage, those noble apprentices who looked down on him no longer dare to underestimate him.
Even Jessica, who has been lukewarm to him, recommended herself as a pillow two months ago, but Ivan, who has become an official spellcaster, no longer looks down on her.
The improvement of strength should also be looked at higher. Jessica's small family has never produced a formal spell caster, which cannot bring him any help. Now he just treats her as a maid who warms the bed. After thinking about marrying her in the future, his wife should be the daughter of a noble family of noble mages.
Only in this way can he be worthy of his current status, just like Miss Elena, who has a noble status, her father is a hereditary nobleman, and she is also a fifth-level mage, but her own strength is still not enough, Miss Elena's suitor There are many mages of level 7 among them, and his strength is still much worse.
But all of this will soon be the past. Thinking of that ring, Ivan's heart is full of enthusiasm. Originally, Ivan was just an apprentice with low qualifications, and his grades in the Ossailin Intermediate Mage Academy were still in the middle and lower grades.
Basically, there is no chance to become a level 5 mage in this life, and the turning point of all this started with getting this ring. One day he mustered up the courage to confess his love to Jessica, but Jessica rejected him with a cold face, and then was mocked by other apprentices nearby after seeing him.
Ivan was driven mad by the cynicism of these people, and he wanted to fight these people directly. The consequences can be imagined, he is just a spellcaster apprentice with a professional level of 2, and the lowest level of those people is 3, and then Ivan was caught by these people. The group of people gave a severe lesson.
Then he became the star figure of the whole school, Ivan who wants to eat swan meat, this is his new nickname. Ivan, who was seriously injured, left the school in shame, and picked up this ring that changed his life on the way home.
This ring is of ordinary style, made of bronze, with a rough pattern and a little green rust. Ivan was deeply attracted the first time he saw the ring.
Then I picked it up inexplicably and put it on my hand. Then at night Ivan had a strange dream. He met a person.
This is a remnant soul who claims to be Yao Lao. He was a legendary shadow mage during the Arcane Empire period. He died because of the War of the Ancients. This ring is a backhand left by him.
It has been buried for thousands of years since the end of the War of the Ancients, and it has only been seen again recently. Fortunately, it was picked up by Ivan. As long as Ivan promises to wait for him to resurrect him when he is strong enough, he will teach him and help him advance.
The dream was very real. After waking up the next day, Ivan still clearly remembered what happened in the dream. Just looking at the ring, he always felt that he was insane, and he actually had such a weird dream.
It's just that an idea popped up out of nowhere, so it doesn't matter if you try it. What if it is true?
Determined, Ivan gritted his teeth, took out a small knife, and cut a cut on his finger. A stream of bright red blood came out. Regardless of the pain, Ivan saw the blood dripping onto the bronze ring.
The blood stained the ring red, and there was no abnormality. Just when he was about to give up, the copper rust on the ring began to weather and fall off. Ivan stared at the ring dumbfounded.
I saw that the ring had turned golden yellow, and the golden ring was engraved with strange patterns, and there was a touch of blood in the pattern, which was coquettish and beautiful.
Then the ring grew directly on Ivan's hand, and a lot of knowledge appeared in his mind, and every time he meditated, the ring on his hand would automatically pour out a burst of energy into the spiritual sea.
Ivan started to advance at a jaw-dropping speed. In just three months, he broke through from level 2 professional level to become a level 5 shadow mage now.
Those apprentices who laughed at him and bullied him in the past, he found an opportunity to deal with them severely, and then left the school disheartened. And also sent a lot of gifts as an apology. And that Jessica has been toyed by him wantonly, these are the benefits of power.
And he is very clear that the source of his power is this ring. With this ring, he can be like a genius, quickly advance, status, wealth, power, beauty, power, these are all at his fingertips.
However, in the past two months, Ivan has been cautious, because the Arcane Council doesn't know if he took the wrong medicine or how to get it, and has been tracking down those fast-advanced spellcasters and asking them why.
As far as he knew, several people had obtained the ancient potions, and the lucky ones passed down by the predecessors were killed and seized. For a while, people were in a state of panic, and Ivan was worried day and night that he would be targeted by these people.
Fortunately, Ivan advanced earlier, and these people haven't focused their attention on him yet. However, Ivan was still worried about being caught by a high-level spellcaster and forced to question him.
It was also a bit of a big trouble. Last week, the Arcane Council finally took back the rights of these people and no longer allowed them to arrest and question anyone, but Ivan's sense of crisis did not decrease at all.
Who knows if the Arcane Council will come to review again, all this is because the strength is too low to resist, if he has legendary strength, would these people dare to do this?
Weakness is the original sin. If you want to increase your strength in a short period of time, the best way is the ring, which is included in the information given by Yao Lao, but this method requires a lot of soul crystals.
Build an altar, and then use the soul spar to sacrifice a certain great being, and this being will reward him with great power. Let him quickly advance to a high-level shadow mage, and even if there are enough soul spars and high enough quality, it is not impossible to advance to become a legend.
Once he becomes a legend, even the Arcane Council must give him respect and courtesy, and some nobles will come to lick his toes.
Soul crystals are not easy to get. Most of the ones on the market are low-level ones. High-level ones have never appeared. Ivan spent a lot of time and didn't get much. is nowhere in sight.
However, things have turned around in the past few days. The front line transported a large amount of soul crystals to the rear. This is the fund for Dia City, which is used to buy food, weapons, medicine, and pay for the use of spellcasters.
A large number of soul spars appeared, which made it easy for Ivan to buy many soul spars, but the best ones were only a few middle-level soul spars. In order to advance, Ivan exchanged the things on his body for a large number of soul spars stone. Plus he got it before, so many soul crystals are enough for him to build an altar to sacrifice and advance.
Although you can't advance to legend, so many advancements to level 12 are more than enough.
