Wizard: My career panel has no upper limit

Chapter 80: Wild Blood "Enthroned"

There was still no emotion in Li Yue's golden animal eyes, only absolute obedience to Tracy's orders.

In the sunlight, the slender figure of the Leopard Woman exudes a temperament that is a wonderful fusion of wildness and tameness. She is beautiful and deadly, but sadly lost in herself.

………………

When we returned to the dormitory area, it was already getting dark.

The night in the foggy jungle always comes especially quickly, as if darkness is the true nature of this land.

Ron walked in the corridor leading to his room. The faint light from the magic crystal lamp poured in, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

From a distance, he saw a familiar figure standing in front of his door. When the man saw him, he immediately raised his head.

"Andre?" Ron was a little surprised and quickened his pace to walk over. "Is there anything urgent?"

The blond boy's face looked exceptionally pale in the moonlight, his eyes flashing with anxiety and helplessness.

He held an opened letter in his hand, the wax mark on the parchment still clearly visible in the dim light.

"Ron." Andre said with difficulty: "I'm in trouble. It's with the royal family."

"What trouble?" Ron quickly took out the room key, welcomed Andre into the house, and closed the door casually.

The magic crystal lamp in the house automatically lit up when its owner returned. The dim light illuminated the haggard face of the blond boy, making him look even more tired than usual.

Ron glanced at Andre. His strengthened mental tentacles could easily capture the intense blood energy that had not yet completely subsided after the other party's breakthrough.

"Judging from your aura, it seems like you've just made a breakthrough?"

He asked as he poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

Andre took the glass of water, drank it all in one gulp, and forced a smile on his lips, but the smile could not hide the deep anxiety in his eyes.

"That's right," he replied softly, a hint of pride in his tone. "Thanks to that bottle of Qi and Blood Potion you gave me, I finally broke through to the third stage of the Breathing Method Body Building."

"That's great news. Why are you so listless?" Ron patted his shoulder, genuinely happy for his friend.

The so-called third stage should correspond to the "proficient" level shown in his skill list [Breathing and Bodybuilding]. After completing the bloodline activation ceremony, he will have the opportunity to be promoted to a formal knight.

"Yeah, logically I should come over to celebrate with you."

Andre smiled bitterly and took out the wrinkled letter from his pocket: "But the news from the royal family doesn't make me happy at all."

Ron took the letter and glanced through it quickly.

Although the words in the letter seem polite, the words actually reveal an irresistible command.

"Send you to see Cynthia?" Ron frowned, recalling the arrogant female apprentice he met in the square today and Norris's description of her.

"That's the crazy woman you mentioned before, right? The royal family can't wait to send you there?"

"That's her." Andre sat down on the chair, his voice filled with undisguised fear and disgust.

"Every year around this time, Cynthia would replenish her male servants, so the royal family would naturally take this opportunity to curry favor with her..."

Ron pondered for a moment: "Who sent this letter? Does your father know about this?" Andre laughed at himself.
"What good does it do to know? Father is in a very difficult situation right now. It's probably the work of my brothers and sisters. They wish I could stay in the Black Mist Jungle forever."

He paused for a moment, his eyes dimming:

"They were probably afraid that if I returned to the kingdom after becoming an official knight, it might affect the succession to the throne. So they arranged for me to come here in the hope that I would never return."

The blond boy stood up, walked to the window, and looked out at the night scene:
"Actually, I've just replied to that letter, using the excuse that I need a month of retreat after this breakthrough to prepare for the 'Bloodline Awakening Ceremony' to reach the level of a full knight. This can hold off for a while. But this is just a temporary solution. After a month."

Ron thought for a moment and suddenly interrupted, "A month should be more than enough."

Hearing this, Andre quickly turned to look at Ron, a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "What are your plans?"

"I'm just preparing for the Potions Master certification exam," Ron said confidently.

"If you pass successfully, you will not only be granted an independent workshop and residence, but your status within the school will also be significantly improved. Then I will gather materials to assist you in becoming a full-fledged knight. Our situation in the Black Mist Jungle will be very different."

"Professional potion master! Your potion knowledge has reached this level!" Andre was surprised and delighted, and the anxiety in his eyes eased slightly:

"If you truly become a professional potion master, then even the royal family will not dare to offend you easily. After all, the value of a professional potion master is, at times, higher than that of an ordinary advanced apprentice."

"So, the most important thing for you now is to stay calm and focus on your own training."

Ron said firmly, "Once I pass the assessment, the situation will be very different. You should also seize this month to prepare for the final 'Bloodline Awakening Ceremony'."

Andre breathed a sigh of relief: "You're right, the best thing for us is to focus on improving our own strength."

He suddenly remembered something and took out an exquisite brocade box from his arms: "I almost forgot something important. The messenger asked me to bring this to you."

Ron took the brocade box and opened it. Inside was a gold badge inlaid with Farouk's corona. It was exquisitely crafted and it was obvious that it was extraordinary.

"This is."

"A seal of nobility bestowed by the Farouk royal family." Andre explained, casually placing the brocade box in his hand.

"Father has reserved a hereditary title for you, complete with your own fiefdom and castle. As long as you wish to return, you can become one of the kingdom's core nobles at any time. However, I doubt you'll find it appealing now..."

Ron examined the badge carefully without saying anything. Although he couldn't use it himself, it would be nice to send it to his family in the future to obtain more titles and land.

"Then I'll take it." He carefully put the badge away. "But the most urgent thing is to solve the problem at hand."

Andre nodded, as if remembering something: "By the way, you said you saw Cynthia and Tracy at the market?"

Ron nodded and recounted in detail what happened in the square today.

".Tracy's leopard girl attacked the orc unexpectedly from behind and eventually defeated it. Cynthia looked furious. Who would have thought she would lose to a newly promoted middle-level apprentice."

Andrei listened intently, with obvious surprise on his face:
"Has Tracy reached this point now? To train a qualified combat slave, the resources required are not a small amount. Or is that Cynthia not worthy of the name?"

"No, Cynthia's orcs are actually quite powerful. A more cautious approach might have given her a better chance of victory, but she was too anxious and used the forbidden Berserk Crystal prematurely."

Ron shook his head and expressed his own judgment:
"And Trish's Leopard Girl used the potion I prepared for her earlier. The formula has been refined many times, and its effect far exceeds that of ordinary potions. Once the battle becomes stalemated, the outcome will favor Trish."
