Wizard: I brought the wrong system.

Chapter 149 Clues

Three-drug.

This statement is perfectly illustrated in pharmaceutics.

For example, the instructions for the Mana Convergence Potion require taking a Necromancy Potion before drinking it, then burying the body in a graveyard to use the aura of the dead to suppress the scattered spiritual energy, causing it to automatically gather and converge.

The requirements for the Soul Absorbing Potion are not many. It only borrows the power of the Soul Absorbing Monster, so it cannot be used within the academy. After use, the power of the Soul Absorbing Monster must be removed as soon as possible.

Otherwise, new spirit-devouring monsters will hatch from the sea of ​​consciousness.

The prerequisite for the Siren's Song is simply to immerse your body in water, but the side effect is that you cannot go near the ocean for a year, otherwise you will attract the attention of sea monsters.

Priced at forty-five magic stones, but the reason for the high price is simple: the prerequisites are easy to meet, and the side effects are unbelievably minor.

What's even more conscientious is that below the newly written price, it clearly states 'Song of the Siren - 30 Magic Stones (crossed out)'.

Even as Yaro hesitated, he noticed someone approaching with a tag that read 'Song of the Siren - 50 Magic Stones'.

Forty-five magic stones can be exchanged for advancing to the intermediate apprentice level.

Is it a loss?

Not a loss!

Yaro's heart was bleeding, but he could only grit his teeth and quickly hand over the magic stone, grabbing the potion in his hand.

After leaving this place of sorrow, the next step is to buy those ordinary materials.

Sulfur and saltpeter are naturally indispensable, and as for charcoal, Yaro will prepare it himself.

Then came the common alchemical materials: copper, iron, and silver. Taking advantage of this price crash, I bought up large quantities of them all.

After leading his apprentices to return the various items to his laboratory, Yaro went to the library to unlock higher-level access.

One point is worth mentioning.

Although Bosco had acknowledged Yaro as his student, and other wizards were aware of this, this identity had not been entered into the academy's database, and therefore the higher levels of the library did not offer him free access.

Nominally, Yarrow was just an ordinary apprentice.

Yarrow guessed that this might be related to inheritance rights.

Therefore, although he knew these things, he did not bring them up. Instead, he honestly used magic stones and contribution points to obtain higher-level library access.

……

For the library to operate normally, several wizards must be present to prevent the large number of students studying together from causing unspeakable prying.

However, the academy had already issued a notice, and Yaro had also confirmed with Wizard Bosco that an enemy was attacking.

This news will inevitably strain the academy's manpower, and the academy will likely draw wizards away as a precaution.

Once a full-fledged wizard is removed, the library may close again.

Based on this speculation, Yaro opened up access and went to the higher levels of the library, where he exchanged a large amount of alchemical knowledge and some tricks required for intermediate apprentices.

After completing these preparations, Yaro returned to the experimental area.

He has three things that need to be done as soon as possible.

The first thing is to inscribe the structure of the magic trick into one's mental sea and raise one's own strength to the level of an intermediate apprentice.

Secondly, after fighting the wizard, we discovered many problems with the weapons and moves, which need to be adjusted and modified.

Third, prepare the gunpowder and then create the initial versions of firearms and bombs to facilitate subsequent research on magic runes, see which components of the firearms can be replaced, and ultimately convert them into magic rune alchemical structures.

There was a lot to do, and it wasn't easy. Yaro decided to go into seclusion for a while, partly to escape the recent commotion.

Moreover, hiding in the experimental zone, even if something were to happen, it would be far safer than other places, with 'Pipit' as its guardian and a variety of magical statues hidden there.

……

As time passed, the atmosphere in the experimental area grew increasingly tense. The apprentices took on different tasks and gradually fled the academy.

A large number of beginner and intermediate apprentices left, while the new trainees were completely unaware of this.

They are currently sensing spiritual energy, and even if close relatives know something, they will be afraid of affecting their continued sensing of spiritual energy, so they will generally not choose to tell them other information truthfully at this time.

These students have not yet activated their mental powers, but they have already taken various courses and, through exposure, have learned a great deal about wizardry.

If you venture into the outside world rashly, you are very likely to get lost in the strange space.

Just like an unhatched egg, even if you know the eagle is coming, what can you do?
But as time went on, the new trainees gradually became anxious.

Because... the academy inexplicably suspended many classes, and even many instructors of the 'Mental Strength Detection Course' did not come to teach.

Without a 'mental power detection course', how many people can directly perceive mental power?

A restless mood gradually spread among the trainees.

At this time, some new students noticed that the academy had lost many of its beginner and intermediate apprentices, and a strange speculation gradually spread among the new students.

"Have you heard? The academy is moving to a new location, and all students who haven't been able to sense spiritual power will be abandoned!"

"Really? I see many junior apprentices still in the academy."

The academy also has many facilities that require apprentices to function properly, so ultimately only a small number of apprentices are able to receive assignments outside the academy.

"Take a look at those professors' full-time students, how many of them are still in the academy!"

Aro's previous incarnation had a famous theory, the 'six degrees of separation'.

It means that you can know the whole world through just six people.

Similarly, although the students have not yet become wizard apprentices, they can naturally learn through friends and friends of friends that the mentors' formal students are disappearing in large numbers.

However, for some reason, the college did not come forward to formally refute these rumors, allowing them to fester.

As a result, the panic intensified.

Just then, many intermediate wizards entered the Apprentice City on foot.

"Are there any students who are prepared to have their mental strength tested? Instructor Alice is aware of your difficulties and is ready to start a course for you, but you will need to go to Instructor Alice's private space."

"Stop dreaming! How could you possibly go alone? Of course, you two will go together. You want Professor Alice to have some alone time with you? You'd be dreaming all the time!"

The crowd burst into laughter, but the student who asked the question turned bright red. With the laughter, everyone's wariness naturally dissipated.

With so many people together, nothing will happen... right?

Of course, it wouldn't take so many people to pass on messages to new apprentices; most of the intermediate apprentices went to the surrounding villages and sought out acquaintances.

The beautiful Emerald Plains, Apprentice City No. 3.

Outside a wooden house not far from the apprentice city, a dazed young man was knocking on the wooden door.

Boom!
