Chapter 57 Annual Plan, Wizard Levels
Hearing Sally say this now, Leo only confirmed this point.
Even so, Leo was still inexplicably shocked.
The entire drama of Socrates unifying the continent was just a game orchestrated by a wizard on a sudden whim.
In the presence of wizards, mortals are nothing more than ants at their mercy.
The thought that he was now one of those powerful wizards filled Leo with mixed feelings.
Leo said, "Witch Sally, may I handle him now?"
"Of course," Sally said. "This was a little gift I prepared for you."
Leo looked at the noble count.
The noble count kept kowtowing to Leo, begging for mercy.
Leo's gaze swept over the terrified face of the noble count.
Leo still remembered how this noble count had treated him.
At that time, Leo was just a Protoss warrior who had lost his country as his support.
In the eyes of the noble count, he was just a henchman, a servant of the noble family.
And now, he has only just become a wizard.
This noble count was reduced to such a humble existence.
His life and death were entirely at Leo's discretion.
A flicker of desperation for survival crossed the slightly aged face of the noble count. He said, "Leo, I was wrong about everything before. Please forgive me. I can give you all my wealth, my daughter, my wife, the maids in my castle—you can have whomever you want, I..."
Leo extended his right hand toward the noble count.
A large net formed of spiritual energy enveloped the noble count.
The noble count seemed to realize he was about to die, and his pleas turned into frantic curses.
"Haha, Leo, and you damned wizards, so what if I'm about to die? You wizards won't live much longer either. You have no idea what King Socrates is plotting."
Upon hearing this, Leo assumed that some important event had been triggered, and he stopped what he was doing.
Sally's voice came from the side: "Don't worry about it, Leo. Nothing in the mortal kingdom can escape the watchful eyes of us wizards."
"What are you referring to as the famous scheme you mentioned? Are you referring to King Socrates' century-long plan?"
Upon hearing Sally's words, the noble count turned ashen-faced.
Seeing this, Leo continued his work.
The net formed by the magical hand released spiritual radiation.
The noble count's flesh twisted and turned into a puddle of mud.
Sally asked from the side, "Leo, are you satisfied now?"
Leo said, "Sally the Wizard, she's just a thing of the past to me, and she no longer ignites my anger."
"Very good, you need to maintain that composure."
Sally was satisfied with Leo's attitude and actions. She raised her hand and cast a spell.
The noble count, that lump of mud, was covered in flames and burned, leaving only ashes on the ground.
Sally disposed of the body without batting an eye; to her, this small gift was also a test of Leo's character.
If Leo harbors resentment towards this former noble count from a mortal kingdom, Sally will be slightly disappointed. This would indicate that Leo has not adjusted his mindset as a wizard and is wasting his energy on trivial matters.
Sally said, "Now, let me tell you about the path you should take after you become a wizard."
"Becoming a wizard is just the beginning, Leo."
"You are currently at the lowest level of wizardry, a third-class wizard apprentice."
"If you want to advance further, you'll become a second-class wizard apprentice."
"Third-class wizard apprentices and second-class wizard apprentices are both considered graduate students in the Tower of Dawn."
"If you continue to advance, you'll become a first-class wizarding apprentice like myself. Most first-class wizarding apprentices will choose to become teaching assistants or mentors, while some are more devoted to research and will choose to remain as graduate students."
"Above the first-class wizard apprentice is the first-ring wizard, which is the official wizard you have seen in the central region."
Leo noted down the levels of wizard apprentices, then asked curiously, "Sally, once you become a full-fledged wizard, does that mean you can't be a mentor anymore?"
"That's generally true, but there are exceptions, like our Esmond Gathering Mentor. Mentor Esmond is a full-fledged wizard."
"However, Master Esmond's situation is quite special. Most wizards, after becoming official wizards, stay in the central region to conduct research that suits them and rarely leave the central region."
"This is a simple classification of wizards," Sally said. "Then, once you become a wizard, you should learn how to more effectively enhance your spiritual energy."
"You should also have noticed that after becoming a wizard, while your mental energy cultivation speed has become very fast, your mental energy level has become much harder to increase?"
Leo nodded and said, "Yes, Wizard Sally. I was planning to ask you that question today."
"It's good that you noticed this problem."
"In fact, this is a major problem that has troubled many wizards."
"After a wizard advances to the next level, the amount of mental energy required for that advancement increases."
"The mental energy required to advance to the second-level wizard is 100 points, which is ten times that required to advance to the third-level wizard."
Leo frowned slightly.
100 points of spiritual energy, which is equivalent to ten times the spiritual energy required to become a third-class wizard apprentice.
And this is only a second-class wizard apprentice; there are first-class wizard apprentices and even more powerful formal wizards behind them.
"Not only does it require more spiritual energy, but as a wizard advances in rank, the quality of their spiritual energy also increases significantly. That's why you find it difficult to improve."
"Furthermore, the fact that the absorption rate of spiritual energy will gradually slow down with practice remains unchanged."
"In this way, relying solely on the basic meditation method, it would take a very long time to become a second-class wizard apprentice. It would probably take more than ten years."
Leo asked, "Is the same true for level 6 mental power talent?"
"Level 6 mental talent is an exception; they face almost no bottlenecks before becoming formal wizards."
Leo asked, "Witch Sally, if that's the case, are there other ways to enhance spiritual energy after becoming a wizard apprentice?"
"That's right, and there's more than one way. One of them is familiar to you: taking drugs..." Sally said, "Constantly taking drugs to rapidly boost your mental energy."
Sally's words puzzled Leo: "Witch Sally, you previously said that taking the potion would damage one's mental talent and may also cause other side effects."
"That's true. But that's relative to when you weren't a wizard."
"After becoming a wizard, you must understand a concept called 'psychic radiation'."
"When using your own spiritual energy or coming into contact with spiritual energy from the outside world, a certain amount of negative spiritual radiation will be generated. If this effect is not controlled in time, it will not only damage your spiritual talent after it erupts, but also cause your physical body to become deformed."
"However, after becoming a wizard, not only will one's resistance to mental radiation be greatly enhanced, but one will also be able to clear away a portion of the mental radiation every month or so."
"Therefore, once you become a wizard, as long as you control the mental radiation you receive and avoid other drugs with serious side effects, you can improve yourself by taking more drugs."
"In order to allow wizards to more accurately sense the degree of infection from their own spiritual radiation, wizards invented a special instrument."
As Sally spoke, she picked up a metal box from the table and handed it to Leo.
"This is a wizard's radiation detection instrument."
