Immersion

In the attic room of the castle, Raymond sat in a lounger on the balcony, enjoying the floral fragrance brought by the breeze. With a frown, Raymond held the Wizard's Book in his hands without opening it.

Since coming out of the basement that dawn, he had been pondering. Now he could confirm that the human-shaped shadow behind the clock was Heilem. Before she disappeared, she had given Raymond some of her insights into becoming a third-level wizard apprentice, as well as her understanding of "wizards".

The faintly glowing orb was a knowledge carrier formed entirely by thought, like a computer micro memory, capable of directly transmitting part of Heilem's memories to others.

But such an ability could only be performed after reaching the peak of the third level apprentice and mastering a related technique.

Unfortunately, the memory orb Heilem gave him contained very messy and trivial information. There were only sporadic names and descriptions of the power of the techniques wizards could perform. More was her obsession in her lifetime.

Sealed in a room to memorize symbols alone since childhood, without friends or companions, without the joys of childhood, she had only dull learning, learning and more learning.

A large amount of knowledge needed to be recited by rote, the complicated and difficult to memorize symbols needed to be reviewed every day, and Heilem spent a lot of time meditating.

Because Heilem's father was only a second-level wizard apprentice, when she reached higher levels, she could only rely on some materials from the Black River Valley and explore on her own, stumbling to reach the peak of the third-level wizard apprentice.

After memorizing all forty-five symbols, the effect of meditation was extremely powerful. At the age of twenty-nine, Heilem attempted to impact the official wizard, but from then on began her tragedy.

Especially after the death of her father, just two years after Heilem had barely recovered, she recklessly attempted to impact the official wizard again, but this time failed completely.

Fortunately, Heilem had a strong obsession, so at the moment her body turned to ashes, her obsession allowed Heilem to inhabit the basement, becoming a new form of life.

"Woo, woo... woo woo..."

Immersed in thought, Raymond suddenly heard the howling of the black brown bear.

Then the heavy stomping on the floorboards slowly approached from the lower stairs of the castle, accompanied by the frightened screams of the maids. The timid black brown bear appeared at the door of the room.

Its black bristles were neatly groomed, but it was still carrying a large basket in its front paws, emitting an alluring aroma from inside.

"Block the stairs. Unless I come out, no one can disturb me, including you."

Glaring sternly at the black brown bear, Raymond ordered. Then he got up, took his book and went into the study in the room, closing the door.

Knowing his own limited ability, and understanding the goal ahead, Raymond was eager to increase his own strength.

Sitting in the study, Raymond silently issued a command to the chip. "What is the analysis of the memory fragments?"

"Retrieval started, please wait..."

A large amount of useless information was excluded. All parts related to wizards were sorted out by the chip and screened before being transmitted to Raymond's memory area.

With the help of the chip, Raymond saved a lot of time. Under the powerful computing power of the chip, trivial, useless, even contradictory and incorrect information would be cleaned up.

"Excluded 67.1% useless information, eliminated 4.6% illogical erroneous information, sorted out the following data on wizard meditation techniques..."

Red dots flashed in his pupils, and data on meditation appeared in Raymond's vision immediately.

At the first level of wizard apprentice, one could only rely on meditation to improve one's physique and absorb stray active substances in the environment.

These active substances, called "energy particles" by wizards, were important substances.

Although there were many auxiliary items in Heilem's memory that could help apprentices speed up meditation, Raymond had never heard of these things.

Only when reaching the second level wizard apprentice could one be considered to have entered the door and barely learn simple techniques, and the physique could also be greatly improved. By memorizing more symbols, the efficiency of meditation could be improved.

Reaching the third level apprentice would have a lifespan beyond ordinary people and the ability to learn simple techniques, with the potential to become an official wizard.

Opening the Wizard's Book in front of him, Raymond immersed his mind in it. The strange, complicated and difficult to memorize symbols gradually became part of his memory under Raymond's efforts.

Raymond had not seen what an official wizard looked like, but he was shocked by the power of Baomo Guanzhu, the headmaster of Heihe Valley Wizard Academy, in the Colosseum that day.

With a frail body and aged physique, under the magic of Headmaster Baomo, the green vines emerging from the stone wall successfully restrained the black brown bear in a mutated state for a long time.

According to the chip's record, the strength of the black brown bear at that time reached 17.2, and its endurance was an astonishing 16.6.

In a mutated state, the black brown bear had more than ten times Raymond's own strength and physique. So it was able to withstand the strangulation of the green vines and break free after tearing them off.

But even a black brown bear as powerful as this was still trapped in place by those green vines for several minutes.

Therefore, after synthesizing this information, Raymond estimated that in addition to this technique, Headmaster Baomo of Heihe Valley certainly did not have any other more powerful techniques. Otherwise, while the black brown bear was trapped, the use of other powerful offensive techniques would make even the mutated black brown bear unable to resist.

But such a technique that could strangle and restrain opponents would be terrifying if combined with powerful offensive techniques.

Thinking of this, in the silent study, Raymond gathered his divergent thoughts. The power of wizards was unquestionable. Currently, Headmaster Baomo of Heihe Valley was recuperating, and Raymond had the powerful bodyguard of the black brown bear. So for him, this period of time should be an extremely rare calm period.

Focusing his mind, Raymond immersed himself in the meditation symbols in the Wizard's Book, engaged in tedious and difficult memorization...
