Chapter 181 The Last Mission of Sophia the Witch
In the shop of the Historian's House, Locke looked at the introduction of old man McCarthy and fell into deep thought.
According to the ability demonstrated by Mr. McCarthy, archeology can not only explore ancient magical knowledge that has been forgotten.
It has a huge auxiliary role in various fields.
For example, during combat, you can explore the opponent's details, when tracking and counter-tracking, eliminate your own traces, or look for traces of others, or when studying the fields of potions and breeding, you have many ways to draw parallels.
Becoming an archaeologist will do you no harm at all.
As for whether it will distract one's energy, this is a question that requires trade-offs and balance.
But if archeology is related to the ancient bloodline in your body, and whether you can strengthen your body so that you can use more forbidden drugs, then learning archeology by yourself will not only not distract you, but it will even speed up the process of becoming an official wizard.
Although this conclusion is somewhat counter-intuitive.
Furthermore, to become an archaeologist, you will definitely have to invest a large amount of magic stones.
Locke tried to put the tombstone grimoire, an introductory book on archeology, into his astral ring, but he found that this was an impossible operation.
Locke glanced at the tombstone grimoire in slight surprise. There were many black magic spells in this grimoire, probably because some of the magic spells could not be put into the astral realm.
『The inheritance of knowledge in the dark wizard society relies heavily on magic books, so various magics are used to add an ordinary magic book to create a so-called grimoire. 』
ifies dictation? 』
Locke nodded to McCarthy and said, "Thank you, old friend. I will return the grimoire to you in one month."
McCarthy said, "Okay."
After bidding farewell to McCarthy, Locke quickly returned to his residence.
After McCarthy left, he walked to the door of the store and looked at the direction in which Locke disappeared. "It's rare to meet a young man in the white wizard society who studies the blood of ancient creatures and can produce results."
"It's rare."
...
After Locke returned to his residence, he was surprised to find that a forest elf maid was waiting for him at the door of his residence.
Seeing him approaching, the forest elf maid saluted Locke. "Sir Augustine, the master asked me to come here to find you."
Locke said to her indifferently: "What is the reason why the teacher is looking for me?"
Locke was just surprised that Witch Sophia had been so busy recently. She had to complete her college tasks and pass the teaching examination on the other side of the Star Territory Sea, so why did she suddenly come to look for him.
He has not seen Teacher Sophia for a while.
The forest elf maid panicked and said: "I don't know. The master said that he will wait for Lord Augustine in her office."
Locke nodded slightly. He returned to his residence first and placed the tombstone grimoire in his study, and then left the residence and went to Witch Sophia's office.
…
In Sophia Witch's office, Sophia Witch obviously had a touch of joy in her eyes. After she saw Locke, her face smiled even more.
"Locke, you are here."
“I really want to thank you this time.”
Locke said: “Teacher?” "In the three years since I became an official wizard, I have applied to many wizard organizations in the Star Territory Sea, but most of them rejected me." I may not be able to pass this entrance examination, because there are several formal wizards from overseas who have similar qualifications to me, but I surpassed them in talent training."
Sofia Witch's eyes were filled with admiration. "Because Locke, you were promoted to become a first-class wizard apprentice within two years, and passed the exams of Potion Master's Assistant and Official Breeder within half a year, so you were recognized as an outstanding talent there."
“Even if the wizard organization in the Star Territory Sea does not recognize many things in the Southeast Angle Territory, your magic level promotion speed is true, and the examination contents of the Potion Master Assistant and Official Breeder are actually confirmed by the superiors of the White Wizard Association in the Star Territory Sea.”
, magic level, and titles, these four areas are the focus of the teaching assessment. "
"Because of you, I am considered to have special talents in talent training."
Locke laughed. "Congratulations, teacher."
"Teacher, what's the name of the wizard organization that admitted you?"
Sofia Witch, took out a letter. The letter was stamped with a golden lacquer seal, and it was a number of tall towers. "It's the City of Thousand Towers [Partinos]."
"This wizard organization is considered very powerful in the Star Territory Sea. The reason why I voted for this organization is because the City of Thousand Towers is essentially a very large university alliance composed of more than a dozen comprehensive magic universities."
"This wizard organization pays more attention to talent cultivation." Witch Sophia smiled: "Because of you as a student, I have a great advantage in this area."
“Under normal circumstances, young wizards like me who will not stay in this college rarely have students as outstanding as you. My competitors are all formal wizards from outside the Star Territory Sea, so my advantage in this regard will be very obvious. "In the final analysis, I just wanted to give it a try, but I didn't expect it to work." Witch Sophia raised her head and smiled at Locke: "The Star Territory Sea is a big place, and the Southeast Angle Territory is just a small corner of this magical world."
"For the mortal world, this is a huge thing, but for the Star Territory Sea, this is not a small corner, similar to the mortal world where you once lived."
"I don't mean to insult your hometown, Locke, you know what I mean..."
Sofia the witch became serious. "For geniuses like you and me, it is impossible for us to stay in a small place forever."
"We will keep walking along the road ahead."
"Let me, teacher, explore the way to the star sea for you first, and I will try to carve out a career there. Waiting for you. After graduating from the academy, if you are interested, you can come over and help me."
Sofia Witch explained: "The level of the Star Territory Sea is very high. It is a medium-high magic environment, and it is considered the top level among the medium-high magic environments."
"It is very close to the high-magic environment."
"There, even an ordinary creature in the wild may threaten the life safety of an apprentice wizard. Therefore, without the magic level of a formal wizard, I do not recommend you to go there in advance." The chain collapsed, so he fell into poverty. He had no money to return and could not survive there normally." Witch Sophia said: "The wizard apprentice can only become a person under the protection of a formal wizard. If your qualifications are mediocre, I think it doesn't matter if you are under my protection. But Locke, you are not."
"Locke, I really hope you can come and help me when the time comes."
"During this period, you also know that behind every official wizard, there is a network of relationships, it's just a matter of whether the network is small or large."
Locke nodded and asked: "Teacher, okay."
"But the premise is that I can become an official wizard before I can go to the Star Sea. By the way, teacher, are you leaving now?"
Witch Sophia shook her head. "That's why I came to you."
"I have obtained the position of official wizard instructor in the City of Thousand Towers [Partinos]."
"But I still have to complete the last task given to me by Lilith's hut before I can leave Lilith's hut."
"It's reasonable. This can be regarded as my graduation task."
Locke wondered: "So, teacher, what is the last task?"
Sophia Witch raised her head, looked at Locke and said: "As an official wizard, the equivalent price of leaving Lilith's cabin is to kill another dark wizard."
