Wizard starting from shoeing donkeys

Chapter 1336: Chapter 451: Plague Messenger

The room appeared quite spacious, with a witch array of over ten meters in diameter placed at the center, emitting a faint green glow. A light green leaf was floating up and down at the center of the array.

Within the array, there were a man and a woman dressed in the robes of the school wizards, each busy with their tasks.

As Rein stepped in, a refreshing sensation filled the room, as the radiation outside was blocked by the emerald glow of the witch array.

The controller of the array seemed to be the female wizard, as she was drawing new witch patterns at one corner of the array.

Her strength appeared to be at the middle stage of crystalization, her profile was elegant, but crow’s feet had formed at the corners of her eyes, and her hair was graying, indicating her considerable age.

What caught Rein’s attention even more was the elderly gentleman assembling a backpack-like device on one side.

With thick eyebrows and a piercing gaze, one could sense that his strength had already reached the crystallization wizard peak.

It was clear that this should be Moria, the sect leader of the Bixiu Mechanization School.

Albert slightly bowed to the elderly gentleman with respect and said: “Mentor, Lord Rein has arrived.”

“Oh?” Both Moria and the elderly female wizard looked up at Rein upon hearing this but continued their tasks, only to stop the next second.

For their expressions matched those of Albert initially, wide-eyed and slightly open-mouthed in shock.

“You… are you Rein?!”

“You’ve already reached the crystallization peak?” Moria stood up with a “whoosh,” quickly approached Rein, and surveyed him up and down.

“This is impossible!”

“Mogaro clearly told me that just a few months ago, you only stepped into the second level liquidation wizard, this… this…”

The elderly female wizard also stood up now, smiled slightly at Rein, and greeted him out of respect for his strength.

Meanwhile, Albert was completely stupefied.

He had only felt that Rein’s strength was greater than his, but merely assumed Rein was at most at the initial or middle stage of crystalization, never expecting Rein had already reached the crystallization peak!

This put him on par with his mentor, Moria, the sect leader of the Bixiu Mechanization School.

This caused Albert to look at Rein with a bit of resentment.

With such strength… is it really necessary to join a medium-sized wizard school?

If joining, at least choose a large wizard school!

Rein had already anticipated their reactions.

Regarding whether to reveal his wizard strength, Rein had carefully considered it.

Rein decided that it would be better to inform the school about reaching the third level crystalization peak.

Firstly, by acknowledging his crystallization peak strength, the school might allow him to borrow from their resources if they discovered the fourth or even fifth layer of the Steel Heart Meditation Method in the ruins.

He might not even need to request; the school might voluntarily offer knowledge to him.

This could possibly include some precious fourth level witchcraft.

It’s important to know that all witchcraft at the fourth level Dawn wizard tier is exceedingly valuable, forming the foundation of a wizard school.

Secondly, displaying crystallization progress is not the same as exposing his true strength.

Much of his strength comes from career panel core skills like ‘Dragon Soul Strike,’ and a portion comes from the transformation by the Mutated Dragon Bloodline and mastering various top secret techniques.

Relative to this, the third level crystalization peak wizard represents only a small part of his skill set.

Thus, showing his crystallization progress doesn’t equate to revealing his true strength.

Most importantly, Rein’s current strength is enough to deal with most threats from those who harbor ill-will or covet his abilities.

So, Rein shared his pre-prepared explanation, including the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion and a set of happenings after entering the Dragon Valley Secret Realm, in a refined manner.

After hearing Rein’s story, all three, including Moria, clicked their tongues in amazement, both envious and impressed!

“I haven’t seen Winterfort Academy’s principal Batalov for many years, but I know he’s been tirelessly collecting materials for the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion. I didn’t expect him to finally succeed.”

“But Rein, being able to acquire a vial of the Ancient Dragon Soul Potion, a treasure to Batalov, from him is truly remarkable! I doubt I could exchange it for any rare treasure.”

Moria recalled and said with a bitter smile.

“Oh, by the way, Rein, I forgot to introduce you to this lady, Deputy Sect Leader Fiona.” After a pause, Moria finally regained his composure, pointing to the elderly female wizard beside him, introduced her with a smile.

“Madam Fiona, nice to meet you,” Rein smiled slightly and bowed.

“Lord Rein, nice to meet you. Although it’s our first meeting, the impression is exceedingly deep,” Fiona remarked tactfully.

…

After a round of pleasantries, the group sat within the green glow of the witch array and discussed the matters at hand.

Moria introduced: “The peculiar radiation here provides the Stone Palate Monster with unique and powerful enhancements, luckily, this promoting effect weakens as the Stone Palate Monster grows stronger.”

“Currently, the early stages see the fastest improvement, but upon reaching the quasi-legendary level, it slows significantly, requiring ten or even tens of years of accumulation.”
