Chapter 66: News

After thinking for a moment, Heath decided, “Spells. I want spells.”

He had more than enough resources for his current training. He also had several Wizard tools. So after thinking about it, Heath decided to ask for spell models. As a Wizard, what was more attractive than mastering a new spell?

Daniel asked, “Are you sure? I think you have enough spell models. It will take you a lot of time and energy to learn them.”

Heath only registered the spells he had obtained, but he did not mention that he had already learned them. After all, it was a little ridiculous. After all, he had only been a Wizard for less than two years…

Heath shrugged. “I like magic. No matter how difficult it is, I’m willing to face it.”

Seeing that, Daniel did not try to persuade him any further. Many people would only know the pain of nails after they touched the nails.

He nodded. “Alright then.”

Then, he took a thick magic book. “Those who get red stones can get a high-level Apprentice spell for free. You can choose one from them. You can learn it slowly after you advance to a middle-level Apprentice.”

Similar to the demonstration scroll of the auction house, this book was also densely packed with spell books. If you were interested in that spell, you could give a demonstration with just a touch.

Shapeshifting, invisibility, shrinking, item activation, elemental summoning… All kinds of spells were dazzling to the eyes.

‘I really… want to learn all of them…’

Seeing that Heath was still hesitating, Daniel could not help but ask, “Do you need my advice?”

Pausing for a moment, he said meaningfully, “Consider it as a small gift in return for you.”

Heath understood Daniel’s meaning and could not help but say, “Please speak.”

Daniel said, “It’s best to choose a spell that can increase your combat power. Think about what you lack in your current battle and then make a decision.”

Heath was stunned. “Is the war not over yet?”

Battle spells were definitely used for battle. Daniel mentioning this for no reason made people think in this direction.

Daniel shook his head. “It has nothing to do with war.”

Then, he hesitated for a moment before saying, “Originally, I shouldn’t have revealed it. After all, it’s unfair. However, it’s rare for an interesting character to appear in this lifeless Tower. I also hope to see your legend continue.”

Pausing for a moment, he opened his mouth and explained, “Let me tell you this. In the next two years, there will be a trial targeted at you. It’s said that only Apprentices under the age of 20 will be invited to participate. The rewards of this trial are something that even I would be tempted by.”

“And…”

He raised his voice and emphasized, “My teacher told me that in this trial, there will be at least one official Apprentice.”

He explained, “This trial will have a large proportion of battles, so I advise you not to waste this precious opportunity to learn some nonsense. The focus of the spells will be on battles.”

Heath was very surprised. He did not expect a small gift to know such news in advance.

He quickly thanked, “Thank you very much, Sir.”

Daniel shook his head. “You’re welcome. I should be the one thanking you. I’ve been looking for the blood of the Forest Banshee for quite a few days.”

Then, he continued, “Alright, think about it carefully.”

Heath nodded.

Then, he began to seriously ponder.

If it was a battle aspect, his long-range attacks such as Fireball and Lightning Strike were already very good. As for his defense, his Mimicry Shield did not lag behind anyone of the same level. In close combat, he had a high-level Knight, and with the support of Gale…

He could attack and defend, he could long-range and close combat. Currently, his overall combat strength was definitely among the best among the same level.

Then what was he lacking…

Oh… right!

Suddenly, Heath thought of his own weakness.

He could not help but ask, “Are there any spells that can deal a wide area of damage?”

It was not easy to continue to improve in a small-scale one-on-one fight, but in AOE spells, Heath was still lacking.

The battle between the two Wizards on the battlefield that day had left a deep impression on him.

Daniel thought for a moment. “A large-scale spell?”

After thinking for a moment, he took the book and gently knocked on it. For a moment, there was only a crisp sound, and the pages of the book flew up automatically without any wind.

After flying for a while, a large-scale AOE spell scroll appeared in front of Heath.

This was a plain, and on the plain was a large-scale hexagram magic circle that was a few hundred meters long.

A Wizard wearing a large hood stood in the center of the hexagram magic circle, chanting a high-pitched incantation.

As the obscure intonation was chanted, the magic circle on the ground jumped out with flames.

The flames were like giant snakes, swimming on the magic circle. In a moment, the entire magic circle was burning, turning into a sea of fire.

Even just looking at the virtual image, Heath seemed to be able to feel the astonishing power.

He said in surprise, “This, this is an Apprentice-level spell?”

This power, even compared to the spell cast by the two Wizards during the decisive battle that day, was probably not much different?

Daniel nodded and said, “It’s genuine.”

But then, he changed the topic, he added, “But this is a spell in the direction of a magic circle. Before you become an official Wizard, you need to go through careful arrangements before casting the spell, and you also need to use a lot of magic materials, but its power is already close to an official level spell.”

“Its name is Hellfire Sea, and it is one of the most outstanding high-level Apprentice spells. I see that your fire element affinity is very good, so it should be very suitable for this spell.”

Heath asked, “Does that mean that official-level Wizards don’t need casting materials anymore?”

Daniel nodded. “The magic power that official-level Wizards can use is enough to support the operation of this spell.”

Heath thought for a moment.

Then, he decided to accept Daniel’s suggestion. “In that case, I’ll have to trouble you.”

“You’re welcome. You deserve it.”

Daniel took a goatskin scroll from the shelf and handed it to Heath. “Then this belongs to you. Take it back and study hard. Make sure you master it within two years. Maybe you can use it when the time comes.”

“Do your best. Try to become an official Apprentice as soon as possible. Only then can you focus on magic. An unofficial Apprentice has no future…”

Halfway through his sentence, Daniel seemed to have realized something. He smiled sheepishly and said, “Hahaha, old people like to nag. I said so much nonsense just because I wasn’t paying attention. I hope you don’t mind.”

Although Heath was very hopeful now, it was still unknown whether he could become an official Apprentice. It was indeed a bit too much to say it to him now.

Heath shook his head. “How could it be? I should be thanking you for your suggestions.”

What Daniel said was indeed correct. After what Heath had learned during this period of time, the difference between an official Apprentice and an unofficial Apprentice in Shadow Tower or in the entire Underdark Treesea was really not something that could be described by a single word…

To make an inappropriate analogy, it was really like the difference between a noble and a serf…
