Chapter 55: The Second Official Mage

When the mage apprentices below were still frowning and getting entangled, Carlo, a commoner by birth but with a broad outlook, had already received his reward.

After drinking the Magic Blood, Carlo experienced for the first time the exhilarating sensation of having endless magic power within his body and also noticed the potency of the Magic Potion.

The most dangerous and difficult step of solidifying the magic model became extremely simple with ample magic power supporting him. He just needed to manipulate the magic power to solidify the magic nodes in the Spiritual Sea as he had memorized.

Repeat and repeat again until all the magic nodes were solidified successfully.

With Vina's experience beforehand, Lide was not very worried about Carlo and continued to record notes.

Five and a half Sunshine Hours later.

The sky was already occupied by the Night Goddess, and the Magic Lamp in the study emitted a warm yellow light, casting an antique aura on the books.

Carlo, who had his eyes tightly closed, opened them with an incredibly joyful expression.

Whoosh~

An orange-red fireball, the size of an egg, floated in front of him.

At the same time, Lide also received a system notification.

"Ding~ Carlo Bach, a mage apprentice of the Crimson Mage Tower, has broken through to become an official mage. The strength of the Crimson Mage Tower has been enhanced, rewarding character experience——200"

Previously, the improved Mage's Hand earned him 500 experience, and the promotion of two apprentices earned him another 400.

Lide discovered that his experience had increased significantly over the past half month, completing one-fifth of the requirement for the upgrade.

Just 4000 more points of experience and he could level up to 11.

At this moment, Lide felt the impulse to return to Dawn City and bring back a large tank of Magic Blood, so all apprentices could break through to become official mages.

These twenty apprentices becoming official mages would immediately upgrade him.

But his rationality suppressed this impulse.

Even if all 22 mage apprentices in the Mage Tower were to be promoted at once, causing a great sensation, even if only a third of them succeeded, it would still be a huge shock.

A mage apprentice becoming an official mage was the most crucial step, from nothing to something. Once this step was crossed, becoming an intermediate mage was almost only a matter of time.

But it was often this step that prevented 99% of the mage apprentices from touching the real realm of mages, remaining apprentices for life.

If Lide spread the news that he possessed large quantities of Magic Potions that could 100% help someone advance, not just him but even the Extraordinary Mages of Green City might not be able to protect him.

On the contrary, if he claimed to have exchanged a huge price for a limited quantity of Magic Potions, others might feel envious but would not say much.

Because such Magic Potions were not uncommon, the difference lay only in whether they were expensive or not.

So the matter of training mage apprentices still required a good excuse, there was no rush.

"Lord Lide, I broke through!"

Carlo's tone held an indisputable joy.

"Very well, from now on, your treatment in the Mage Tower will be the same as Vina's. Learn new spells as quickly as possible, and in the future, you'll be responsible for teaching the mage apprentices."

"Yes, Lord Lide."

Lide smiled slightly.

"From now on, call me teacher."

Carlo raised his head, looking at him in disbelief. "Teacher," this title held too special a meaning.

Only truly recognized apprentices were qualified to call their mentor "teacher."

"Yes, Teacher."

Lide stepped forward and patted the small boy on the shoulder, "Carlo, you are a smart person. Work hard, and you will get what you want."

"Yes, Teacher. I will not disappoint you."

"Dismissed."

When Carlo went down to the first floor of the Mage Tower, it caused another uproar.

Carlo actually broke through to become an official mage?!

It was too surprising.

The apprentices who had been hesitant were completely convinced after seeing the Small Fireball Skill floating in Carlo's hand. Without exception, they all came to Lide's study.

"Lord Lide, I am willing to sign the Soul Contract."

"Yes, Lord Lide, we are willing."

"As long as you can make us real mages, any price is worth it."

"..."

In just one day, two apprentices like them had broken through to become official mages. This had a huge impact on them.

Lide had already prepared for this, knowing that no one could remain indifferent under such a great temptation.

Especially a group of mage apprentices who couldn't even touch the threshold of being an official mage.

"Hmm, very well. You should know how expensive the potion that awakens a mage apprentice to become an official mage is.

This type of Magic Potion can sell for at least 300 gold pucks on the market, so I only have a few.

It is impossible for everyone to get one."

The apprentices below instantly regretted it, looking at Carlo with jealous eyes. If they had made up their minds earlier, the opportunity would have been theirs.

"To be fair, I will conduct an assessment in a month. The top three in the assessment will be rewarded with a Magic Potion."

"So, no excuses or reasons, go work hard."

"As for the Soul Contract, I do not force you. You can wait until the day you get the potion."

The mage apprentices below had no more hesitation. They believed that those who secured the potion on that day would be the first to sign the Soul Contract.

Such a precious Magic Potion, being able to use it was already being favored by the Goddess of Luck. Hundreds of gold pucks, even recruiting an intermediate mage for the Crimson Mage Tower wouldn't cost that much.

How could it be possible without a price?

After the first person stepped forward, everyone signed the Soul Contract with Lide.

Henceforth, these mage apprentices completely entrusted their lives to Lide, without any chance of betrayal.

Even if it was exposed later that they were Bloodline, Lide had absolute confidence in controlling these apprentices.
