Because at any time, you can quickly get first-hand information from the market.
Richard did not choose to enter a formal shop, but instead found a stall along the street, where a bored second-level wizard apprentice was standing.
There were a few big words written on the stall: Buying all kinds of herbs!
The second-level wizard apprentice was neither too high nor too low, neither too sharp to see through Richard's lies, nor too weak to be well-informed.
Richard sold a small amount of precious herbs from the Underdark and soon found out about the recent major events.
The most important thing is that two months ago, when the three undead wizard academies were fighting against the five major mistress families in the Underdark, they discovered a secret small secret realm of the other side.
This secret realm is called the Norman Secret Realm, and it is filled with rare herbs that are unique to the Underdark and grown by the night elves.
In particular, there is a kind of graveyard moss, which is the main raw material of the limit-breaking potion. The limit-breaking potion, as the name suggests, is a potion used by third-level wizard apprentices to break through to the formal wizard level.
It is said that if a third-level wizard apprentice does not take the limit-breaking potion and just rushes forward, the probability of him being promoted to a formal wizard is less than 1%.
After taking the limit-breaking potion, there is at least a 30% chance of successful promotion.
However, the raw materials of the Limit-Breaking Potion are all extremely rare, the refining process is complicated, and the formula is kept top secret and is controlled by major forces. This shows how precious it is.
In order to obtain a bottle of limit-breaking potion, many third-level wizard apprentices often sign long-term unequal treaties with major colleges or large wizard families, in exchange for a chance to take the potion and break through the bottleneck.
If the academy offers a bottle as a reward for an important mission, third-level wizard apprentices will often fight over it even if there are other harsh additional terms.
The herb graveyard moss is extremely rare on the surface and only grows near a large number of tombs, so it is named graveyard moss.
Because grave moss and other rare herbs have important strategic value, another point is that when the Norman Secret Realm was first set up, only those with energy fluctuations below those of official wizards could enter.
Therefore, after the three undead wizard academies raided and captured an entrance to the Norman Secret Realm, they once again jointly issued a wartime mission, which came with various rare rewards, to encourage the academy's third- and second-level wizard apprentices to enter the secret realm to collect herbs.
However, since the other entrance was tightly guarded by the night elves, there were many elite members of the enemy in the Norman Secret Realm. Collecting herbs in it was quite risky, and wizard apprentices died almost every day.
Another point is that the wizard apprentices who are teleported into the Norman Secret Realm from the entrance will be automatically dispersed by the power of the secret realm, so there is little point in forming a team. This greatly increases the risk of entering the secret realm to collect herbs.
However, this made Richard's eyes light up, and he thought to himself, "Is it possible that the three major undead wizard academies each offer a high-level meditation method as one of the exchange items?"
So, Richard, puzzled, went to another stall, sold a herb, and asked some questions.
But when Richard asked what the reward items were, he suddenly lost interest.
This time, in addition to the Crimson Shock Potion that impressed Richard last time, three Limit-Breaking Potions were also provided. It seemed that the three major academies had invested a lot of money this time. Of course, the Limit-Breaking Potions also came with additional terms.
In addition, there were many other rare potions, top-level witchcraft props and so on, but there was no complete advanced meditation method.
At this time, Richard moved to another stall. The stall owner was a second-level wizard apprentice from the Ring of North. He asked about the clearing mission half a year ago.
"Are you talking about the cleanup mission half a year ago?" The Level 2 wizard apprentice who was purchasing raw materials looked at the bone stick on Richard's chest with suspicion and said, "You didn't know about such a sensational thing? But you don't look like a freshman, right?"
Richard was stunned, and suddenly remembered that a few days ago, the annual enrollment season of Ignis School should have begun, and now hundreds of new students have enrolled.
Indeed, his appearance and the things he sells clearly indicate that he is not a freshman.
"Haha, my mentor arranged an errand for me before. It's about my mentor's family. You know me! I just missed the clearing mission." Richard laughed, with a hint of regret on his face, and said.
"Hehe, then you are really unlucky. Basically, all the students who survived the clearing mission had good gains and made great progress. It was also thanks to that opportunity that I was promoted to a second-level wizard apprentice three months ago."
The second-level wizard apprentice from the Ring of North puffed out his chest slightly proudly, showing the two plague insect patterns on his lower chest, then looked at Richard's chest and said sympathetically.
He had also encountered situations where his tutor assigned him tasks, and he had no way of refusing, so he had to bite the bullet and get it done.
Simply put, even if there are difficulties, you have to find ways to solve them by yourself, otherwise, your mentor will definitely not let you down. At least that's the case with the Ring of Nox, and now it seems that the Ignis School is roughly the same.
However, this also shows that this first-level wizard apprentice of the Ignis School is not valued by his mentor. If he was valued, his mentor would never send him out, thus wasting such a rare opportunity.
After a "heart-to-heart" conversation, Richard sold another herb. Suddenly, the two of them chatted enthusiastically. With Richard's deliberate help, the stall owner, a second-level wizard apprentice, told Richard everything he knew.
This made Richard realize that the last incident with the dark fishmen was also quite a big deal.
It is said that the disciples of the three major undead wizard academies present at the time all suffered heavy casualties, and the Ignis School suffered the most serious losses. It seems that a potential rising star died there.
Before the official wizards arrived, the support teams of third-level wizard apprentices from the three undead wizard academies were also beaten back. In the end, they were able to resist the arrival of the official wizards only after a second-level wizard apprentice from the Gulus Academy took out a low-level magic weapon.
"Potential rising star, could it be the third-level wizard apprentice I met? The other party is very powerful and deserves the title of potential rising star!" Richard thought to himself.
After basically understanding the situation, Richard decided to return to the dormitory, put down his things, and then visit mentor Celes.
Richard arrived at the door of Room 861 with familiarity, took out the key, opened the room and walked in, but the next second, he was stunned.
Richard looked carefully and saw a very innocent-looking girl in the room, also looking at him in amazement.
Suddenly, Richard felt numb!
The two looked at each other for a long time, and Richard said hurriedly: "Sorry, we went to the wrong room!"
"Bang!" Richard immediately closed the door and walked out.
The girl was stunned for a moment, and muttered to herself, "I walked into the wrong room, I locked the door, and I just heard someone open the door with a key, and then you came in. How can you have a key if you walk into the wrong room?"
"Has the security of the Ignis School dormitories become so poor?"
The girl was puzzled!
Richard was outside the door, and he looked at the three numbers 861 carefully again. He didn't react for a long time. His room was...
Could it be that the school thought I had died in the last clearing mission? No way! This is too imprecise.
Shouldn't you want to see the person alive or the body dead?
That's right, in this world, there are too many ways to make you die without even seeing your body
. Instantly, Richard thought of what the Level 2 wizard apprentice of the Ring of North said, that a potential rising star of the Ignis School had died!
"Could it be that the potential rising star of the Ignis School that guy was talking about was me?" Richard was a little dazed.
But this is not important. The current problem is that I have nowhere to stay.
Should I report directly to the school and tell them that I am not dead?
Richard thought about it for a moment and shook his head. It was not appropriate. He should at least visit Teacher Celes first.
However, before formally visiting his mentor, Richard thought of one more thing.
So, he went to the trading area and sold a rare Underdark herb, and went to learn more about it.
After a while, Richard found out the situation:
The fastest time from admission to promotion to a third-level wizard apprentice at the Ignis School is approximately two years and three months.
The fastest record for the Ring of Noth is two full years.
The highest record of Gurus Academy is said to be one year and seven months.
But I have only been enrolled for one year!
Moreover, I am not just entering the third-level wizard apprentice stage, but I am already close to the peak of the third-level wizard apprentice. This is a bit exaggerated!
"Oh! I never thought that one day, I would be the one who is so horrible." Richard shook his head and sighed.
Fortunately, when his Rodrigo meditation method was pushed to its limit, it also had an additional special effect of concealing the breath.
Generally speaking, it means that you can consciously control your aura and display the strength that you want others to see. For example, just now, Richard displayed the aura of a first-level wizard apprentice.
Of course, concealing his breath cannot allow Richard to display the strength of a formal wizard, otherwise it is not called concealing his breath.
To keep a low profile means to avoid letting others detect your strength and pretend to be weak!
Because the higher the mental power, the stronger the aura or more precisely the force field emitted will be, and the perception of a wizard or wizard apprentice is far beyond that of ordinary people.
Therefore, although other wizard apprentices may not be able to sense how strong Richard is specifically, it is still very easy to judge roughly what stage Richard is at, such as whether he is a second-level or third-level wizard apprentice.
It is conceivable that the perception ability of a formal wizard must be far beyond that of a wizard apprentice and is extremely sharp.
Therefore, even with the breath-concealing effect that came with Rodrigo's meditation method, to be honest, Richard himself was unsure whether he could hide it from his mentor.
