Chapter 134: Red Phosphorus Flower

Once an Apprentice reached the peak and completed 13 basic will runes, they would be able to make a breakthrough to the Wizard level. However, in order to complete the breakthrough, they still needed to meet three conditions.

The power of a Wizard came from knowledge. In order to advance to a Wizard, the first thing one needed to do was to gather and organize their own knowledge to form a complete spell system and build a formal spell model.

This was relatively easier. There were shortcuts that could be taken. They could directly apply the spell model built by others.

Purification of spiritual power.

The process of becoming an Apprentice to a Wizard was essentially a process of qualitative change of spiritual power.

After the 13 basic will runes were all meditated, the boundary of the Wizard’s elemental pool was already established. Before reaching the stigmata level, this boundary would not change, the simple and crude point could be understood as the total amount of elements that the Wizard and the Apprentice could hold was equal.

Everyone knew that the density of objects placed in the same size space was different, so the weight of the same pot of cotton and iron was completely different.

This was the same example.

In order to store more energy in the limited elemental pool, the Wizard had to increase the purity of his spiritual power, so that the same size of the elemental pool could store more and stronger energy.

This was not easy, but there were many ways to purify it. As long as one worked hard, it could still be done.

<ol start=”3″>

Wizard’s Water.

The relationship between Wizards and Apprentices was basically the same as the relationship between mortals and Apprentices. Strictly speaking, they belonged to two different species.

Just like only Apprentices could open their spiritual sea, meditate, and absorb elements to obtain extraordinary power, only Wizards’ physiques could bear high-purity spiritual power and high-level rune structures.

And the function of Wizard’s Water was to change the physique of the Apprentices, so that the physique of the Apprentices could be sublimated into a physique that could bear the power of Wizards.

This was the most despairing point. 99% of the peak Apprentices also fell in front of this hurdle, because this thing was born with fate. Without Wizard’s Water, no meant no.

But it was worth mentioning.

There was a group of people in this world who were born with the Wizard physique and did not need the Wizard’s Water at all. They were Apprentices with superior and superior talent and were also known as those with an innate elemental physique.

Currently, Heath had basically fulfilled all three conditions.

In terms of knowledge, after nearly a year of hard work, his soul and Half-Life Soul had reached the highest level. As long as Heath was willing, he could use it to imprint his mind power at any time.

The purification of spiritual power was the beginning of the blood source. When he was in the Shadow Tower, he had also collected some Purifying Potion formulas. The materials were also readily available.

He had also collected the most difficult Wizard’s Water.

In short…

Because of the various efforts he had made in the early stages, Heath had already cleared all the joints leading to the Wizard level. Now, all that was left was a smooth road. He only needed to spend some time to brew it.

Thus.

The day after he advanced to become a peak Apprentice, he left the Magic Bug Forest.

When a Wizard advanced, there would be abnormal elemental fluctuations. The Magic Bug Forest was a monitoring area, and there was a monitoring spell set up by the Shadow Tower. Advancing here might be noticed by the Wizards.

In less than two years, an ‘intermediate’ Apprentice suddenly advanced to become a Wizard… If this was exposed…

Before he had the strength to be invincible in the world, it would be better to avoid such a sensational show… He did not want to become a Dark Wizard just for a moment’s pleasure.

Therefore, he planned to find a quiet place to complete the Wizard’s advancement, such as the human world.

The human world’s elemental content was thin, and the elemental fluctuations produced by a Wizard’s advancement would be reduced to the minimum. In addition, there were not many Wizards in those places, so the probability of being discovered was very small.

It was definitely the best place to secretly advance…

…

A few days later, on a desolate path in front of the city of Caleru in the Kingdom of Navi.

At dusk.

The setting sun hung half-dead on the other side of the mountain like blood. A faint red light sprinkled on the ground, releasing the last bit of light before nightfall.

On the desolate dirt road, there were corpses lying on the ground. In the morning, a group of bandits and a group of slave traders had a war here.

Some people had piled up corpses by the roadside and burned them. Dark gray smoke rose with the afterglow.

However, more corpses could only be casually left on the side of the road. Fresh blood coagulated on the ground. It was especially glaring under the setting sun.

“Hiss~ Hiss~” A dry hissing sound was heard.

A few black feathers fell from the sky.

A group of crows hovered next to the corpses and began to peck at the human corpses unscrupulously.

The one being pecked was a girl in shabby clothes. She had a broken leg and her upper body was bare. There were two large holes in her chest, and her unique female body parts had been cut off.

This was a female slave. In the morning battle, she was unfortunately cut off by a robber.

A one-legged slave could not be sold for a good price, so after the war ended, the slave traders who cleaned up the battlefield simply killed the girl, and conveniently cut off her chest. Some people liked to buy it back as a collection.

In such a world, there were all kinds of people.

This was a feast for crows, a carnival for perverts, a new year for those with power, and the end of ordinary people.

Ding-ling! Ding-ling! The empty bell rang from the front.

On the other side of the desolate path, a figure appeared.

Black hair and a black cloak, riding on a black horse. The black horse was particularly strong, but the strange thing was that there was a goat bell tied around their neck. It looked like a muscular man wearing a small floral dress, and it looked very out of place.

This was naturally Heath.

After coming out of the Magic Bug Forest, he happened to bump into a black goat that ran over from god knows where. He was in need of transportation, so Heath cast a shapeshifting spell to turn the goat into a horse.

At this moment, riding on the horse, Heath looked at the bleak scene by the roadside. Even though it was not the first time he had seen such a scene along the way, he still felt a little sad every time he saw it.

Especially compared to before.

As a traveler from an advanced civilization, he did not comment on how the world where the nobles had been dominating for generations was like. However, no matter how the nobles did not do anything, at least the basic social order could be guaranteed.

Even when it was close to night, the two little girls could still run to the lake in the forest outside the city to make a wish without having to worry about dying.

And look at the present.

Corpses were strewn all over the place, and the people were starving for thousands of miles.

When he read the history books in the past, they said that there were less than ten people left after a war. Heath had thought that it was an exaggeration. After experiencing it himself, he knew that history dared to write such a thing because it had its reasons.

Perhaps… Perhaps… This was no different from the end of the world.

Heath watched silently, thinking silently.

Ding-ling! Ding-ling! The little horse moved forward and soon arrived near the city gate.

Bzzz…

Just as he was about to enter the city, Heath suddenly heard a strange ‘bzzz’ sound. At the same time, a faint elemental fluctuation was transmitted over.

He subconsciously looked in that direction.

He saw a strange red flower blooming at the foot of the city wall not far away.

The flower itself was nothing special, but there was a faint flame burning on its surface. What was even stranger was that the flame kept burning, but the flower showed no signs of drying up.

“This is… The Red Phosphorus Flower?”

The Red Phosphorus Flower was also known as the Blood Flame and the Red Death God by mortals. It was a kind of magic plant that could grow in low-elemental environments. They needed to be fed with blood and souls, so they usually appeared in times of war.

After they absorbed the blood, they would transform it into a kind of phosphorus powder that would be excreted through the stamens. The ignition point of this kind of phosphorus powder was very low. Basically, it would burn up once it came into contact with the air, and the Red Phosphorus Flower itself was fireproof. Therefore, this scene was seen now.

Heath got off his horse and walked over to pick the Red Phosphorus Flower. ‘Extract.’

[Beep, extraction successful. Obtained Red Phosphorus Flower’s life sequence.]

Heath grinned. “The omen is not bad. I just arrived at the city gate, and I already got a bargain. Moreover, it’s thriving. Could it be that the omen is also thriving?”

As his thoughts ran wild, Heath placed the Red Phosphorus Flower back into his spatial pocket. A single Red Phosphorus Flower was worth 200 Magic Stones.

Leading his horse, he walked towards the city gate.

After the First Prince was killed and the Third Prince was chased out of the palace, the Kingdom of Navi had successively changed several kings. After their songs, they would go on stage, and the nobles would use different factions to promote their own representatives.

As a result, this kingdom, which only had five towns, miraculously had six kings at the same time.

At present, the one who had taken charge of Caleru City was Duke Dylan.

Half a month ago, he was just a baron in the northern part of the Kingdom of Navi. Half a month ago, he had sneaked into Caleru City with his men and launched a sneak attack on Count Thomas, who was stationed in Caleru City at that time. He successfully defeated Count Thomas and cut off his head.

After that, he used the reason that the succession of the king was illegal to drive out the king that was supported by Count Thomas, and supported the son of the Second Prince as the king.

This three-year-old child made him a Duke, so he became Duke Dylan. Currently, he was also the regent.

His Royal Highness the Regent’s army was a motley crew. This could be seen more or less from the soldiers he arranged to guard the gate.

The guards were a group of men in their thirties or forties. They were dressed in messy leather armor. They were either standing or sitting by the city gate, chatting about something. From time to time, one could hear things like ‘get two women to have fun’ and ‘a group of female slaves has just arrived in the city’.

Only when they saw someone coming did they straighten up a little. However, they only stood up. They did not even bother to deal with the mud on their buttocks and the grass between them.

A soldier put on a fierce look. “What are you doing?!”

Heath said, “Entering the city.”

The soldier continued to ask, “Entering the city for what?”

Heath said, “Returning to my manor.”

Caleru City was embedded in the mountain wall. Heath’s manor was on the other side of the city. It would save a lot of money if he went through Caleru.

Hearing the word ‘manor’, the soldier’s eyes lit up.

He said with a straight face, “City gate tax, one silver coin!”

This price was obviously outrageous, but the Wizards did not care about money, so Heath casually took out a silver coin.

Who would have thought that Heath would be so generous? The soldier’s eyes lit up even more.

Before Heath handed over the silver coin, he suddenly raised the spear in his hand. “We suspect that you are a wanted robber. Open the bag for me.”

The other soldiers immediately surrounded him and raised their spears with murderous intent.

“Open the bag!”

“Behave yourself!”

Heath raised his eyebrows.

This was really…

He refused to take the road to heaven, but he insisted on breaking into hell…
