Chapter 124: Fame is emerging
After purchasing a bunch of magic resources, Locke left the Chimera Market with satisfaction.
When I returned to my house, it was already dark.
But Witch Sophia sent one of her elf servants to wait in front of her door and deliver a letter to herself.
Loke took the letter, ignored the elf servant who saluted him, opened the letter, and found that it was a reply to him from the breeder competition department of the White Wizard Association.
"Huh? I have indeed passed the preliminaries."
Locke saw the standard letter written to him by the competition department committee, congratulating him on being selected as a finalist, and inviting him to attach the second magic plant work, as well as the document report of the second magic plant work, and continue to participate in the finals of the White Wizard Association Breeder Competition.
"Only the top three hundred works in the entire Southeast Region can enter the finals." Locke said: "This is an old-fashioned competition composed of the white wizard society in the entire Southeast Region. Basically, breeder assistants who are qualified to participate will participate to compete for resources."
"So, there will be thousands of entries in the preliminaries."
"But my work will stand out among these thousands of entries." Locke looked at the ranking list of less than 300 people that was sent with the letter, and there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.
Previously, he had only gradually explored the wizarding world of the Southeast Angle in Lilith's hut, but now he finally made his debut in this area. He participated in the entire Southeast Angle competition for the first time and won.
Loke looked at the ranking list and began to search for the ranking of his works. "My work is ranked... fifth place!"
"My work will be ranked directly at fifth place."
Locke looked at the short reason for the award on the ranking list - "A very excellent work, which perfectly strengthens the power of the fire lotus in his palm." The committee unanimously agreed that if it weren't for the simplicity of Palm Fire Lotus, the ranking could even be two places higher. 』
Locke has subtle eyes and a slightly excited mood. His work not only won the qualifiers in the entire southeast corner, but also achieved fifth place in the qualifiers.
Overwhelmed all the breeders in the southeast corner.
"But what kind of perversion are the top four? They actually rank higher than my Crystal Palm Fire Lotus."
Locke quickly scanned the top four and found that the authors of the first four works were all first-class wizard apprentices, and they were not newly promoted first-class wizard apprentices.
They have participated in this competition more than a dozen times, counting on this kind of competition to win magic resources for them.
Hence, they are familiar with the competition's scoring criteria and experienced.
The first four works indeed all look better than my Crystal Palm Fire Lotus.
"There are still a lot of master breeders in the Southeast Corner Region, and I still can't be careless." Locke thought: "I heard Teacher Sophia say that when everyone participates in the preliminaries of the White Wizard Association Breeder Competition, they will definitely not show their full strength."
Those who enter the top 100 in the finals may not even enter the top 100. "So, I have to continue to work hard." Locke clenched his fist, "In the preliminaries, there were people ranked higher than me. Entering the finals, there will only be more and more masters."
“It seems that I have to put in some effort in this area, otherwise I may not be able to enter the top fifty and receive a large amount of magic stone rewards.”
Locke’s purpose of participating in this competition has been to obtain a large amount of magic resources from the beginning, and other purposes are incidental.
Of course, if you can get a good result in this competition, it will be much easier for you to apply for various things from the college in the future.
Locke's eyes became serious. He walked back to his room to meditate tonight.
Every big leap is made up of small progress, accumulated bit by bit.
…
Lilith's hut, a port city, in a mortal alley, in an inconspicuous semi-basement. This semi-basement only has one window exposed above the ground.
Most of the remaining room is in the area below the ground.
This is the house where the poor among mortals live.
On rainy days, the rainwater will pour into this semi-basement. When the rain recedes, the corners of this semi-basement house will become moldy and emit a pungent odor, making it impossible for ordinary people to live here.
In such a filthy living environment, there are ten dark wizards wearing black wizard robes, sneaking here and discussing private plans.
The eyes of these dark wizards emit red blood light in the dim environment, and their terrifying fangs are revealed when they speak. These dark wizards are vampires transformed by the blood curse court and transformed by the blood curse.
"Damn white wizards, their combat power is not strong, but they have more other tricks. Their weather masters semi-permanently changed the climate environment in the belly of our Blood Curse Court, which affected the resource reserves of our school."
"Their stupid potions also polluted our water. Source and land. When mortals eat food contaminated by chemicals, their bodies will become resistant to our curse, which will become very troublesome."
Vampire Howard, in the dark, twisted his neck as if there was something wrong with his neck, and he kept twisting it, and he was a little nervous.
"The senior leadership of the college has prohibited us from casually applying curses to mortals in our territory. During this period, placing curses on them will easily cause them to develop directional curse resistance."
h "The senior leadership of the college is worried that this is a huge experiment conducted by those sanctimonious white wizards, which is to use the mortals in our territory to try to produce resistance to the existing curses of our school." Constitution and bloodline..."
"White wizards are always so hypocritical!"
"To take revenge, to kill." Howard's eyes flashed with a mixture of bloodthirsty and neurotic anger, "The top management of the college has issued the highest level revenge order, asking us apprentices lurking in Lilith's cabin to start a targeted hunt for the genius breeders and potion masters of Lilith's cabin."
"This is a response to the provocative behavior of that group of drug sellers."
"Haven't that group of false saints recently ranked in the breeder competition qualifiers? The top management of the college asked us to carry out targeted hunting based on the rankings on that list."
h He said nervously: "As long as we hunt down one of their geniuses, the academy will reward us with a huge amount of magic resources."
"Don't say that the academy didn't give you a chance before, but now the opportunity is right in front of you. If you want to become a first-class wizard apprentice, or even a formal wizard, with our little qualifications, can you do it without working hard?!"
Most of the dark wizards present only have level 1 and level 2 qualifications.
Only Howard’s qualification is Level 3.
Different from the white wizard society's extreme pursuit of genius, the black wizard society also pursues genius, but it is not that high.
That's because in the dark wizard society, resources are the most important thing.
The black wizard society is unlike the white wizard society, which has a relatively reasonable distribution of resources. If a genius does not have resources, his development will be very limited.
More importantly, dark wizards have a lot of shortcuts. The biggest motivation for many people to learn black magic is because they are destined to be mediocre for a lifetime by learning white magic. Only by learning extremely radical black magic can they make a breakthrough.
Although these hopes are to a large extent a kind of self-deception.
The other wizard apprentices of the Blood Curse Tribunal all looked at each other. When they heard that the academy would give them huge rewards, their eyes were all excited. Of course they wanted to get these huge rewards.
But when they thought about the current situation, they were a little scared.
“But Howard, with us second-class wizard apprentices and third-class wizard apprentices working as undercover agents here, there is very little we can do.”
h “Those white wizard wastes have been hiding in their greenhouse-like rooms. At home, we usually don’t come out at all..."
"Our strength is not enough..."
A powerful magical pressure erupted from the vampire Howard, pressing down on every apprentice of the Blood Curse Tribunal present.
These wizard apprentices in the Blood Curse Court were horrified.
"Howard, you have become a first-class wizard apprentice? Did you make a breakthrough here? How is it possible?"
"Oh my god, although you have a third-level qualification, you are only 25 years old now. It is impossible for you to become a first-class wizard apprentice so quickly. Moreover, half a year ago, you were still A second-class wizard apprentice! "
A second-class wizard apprentice vampire said with strong jealousy and greed in his eyes: "How did you do it? Can you tell me the method."
Vampire Howard smiled proudly. "I was just about to say it."
"I can become a first-class wizard apprentice because the higher-ups of the academy conducted an experiment on me. Also, the academy will give us special support. Because the academy prohibits mortals in the territory from eating food, it has caused a large-scale famine."
"The top management of the college simply took advantage of this famine and created a wave of undead creatures. Soon there will be three waves of undead creatures attacking the territory of Lilith's cabin. Chaos will then occur."
"Chaos is the best time for us in the Blood Curse Court to fish in troubled waters."
"As for the matter of the first-class wizard apprentice..." Howard laughed. "This is what the higher-ups of the college want me to disclose to you all."
The eyes of the nine vampires in the Blood Curse Court suddenly showed shocking greed and jealousy towards Howard.
They all craned their necks, ready to hear Howard tell him the secret of how he could become a first-class wizard apprentice in the territory of Lilith's cabin.
