After all, Lisa and her relationship were merely nominal; if it weren't for the apprentice contract, the two probably wouldn't have much interaction.
It is important to note that although Hegel was once Lisa's teacher, there was no connection between them regarding Freya, even though Freya entered the academy through Hegel.
This clear distinction is also a common thought among most wizards.
After observing for a moment, Freya took out a black Magic Stone from her waist and placed it in the hollow center of the magic circle.
With a click, a faint aura of energy slowly rose from the magic circle, while various runes on its surface began to move rapidly.
Freya quietly watched as the runes quickly formed a scale-like shape that occupied the entire magic circle.
According to Lisa, this Low-Level Magic Stone could sustain the magic circle for two hours, which was just about a balanced measure and still worth it.
As she pondered this, she stepped into the magic circle. (To be continued)
The old man opened the bottle and pinched the piece of meat with his fingers, squinting slightly.
As he touched the piece, he suddenly looked up and asked, "Can I taste a bit of this meat?"
"Of course, but this type of meat may have corrosive effects. Although it has been dried now, you..."
Before Freya could finish, the old man tore off a small piece of the meat and put it directly into his mouth.
'Puff...'
A slight white smoke emerged from his mouth, causing the old man to frown slightly, but he continued to chew.
"This flavor feels like a result of multiple recompositions..."
Listening to the old man's muttering, Freya immediately understood; he was using a special identification spell to analyze the composition of the meat.
The analysis didn't take long. He swallowed the piece of meat and then opened each of the remaining containers, tasting a bit from each one.
Freya nervously watched the old man's expression. If this did not satisfy him, she would have to find other ways to obtain promotion materials.
During this time of war, that would be no easier than in Katia.
After a long while, the old man picked up a test tube containing green liquid, gently removed the cork, and dripped a small amount of liquid into his mouth.
Suddenly, he opened his squinted eyes wide, revealing a look of confusion.
Then he dripped a few more drops of liquid.
"Eh, is that a faint Bloodline Aura? ... But it seems to be modified..." he murmured, looking at the Test Tube in his hand.
After pondering for a moment, he replaced the cork back into the Test Tube and smiled kindly at Freya.
"Apprentice, can you tell me if you really discovered this creature in the forest outside Katia? Don't try to deceive an Official Wizard."
Looking into the old man's kind eyes, Freya suddenly felt a jolt in her brain, and her vision began to blur.
Sensing the sudden change in her body, Freya's expression darkened. Her eyes instantly cleared up, but she maintained a facade of confusion as she slowly replied, "Yes... my lord... I did not lie to you."
"Alright." Upon hearing Freya's response, the old man showed a hint of disappointment. With a slight movement of his finger, a faint white Thin Line was drawn from the back of Freya's head.
Freya cooperatively pretended to regain her composure, frowning slightly with a look of confusion as she gazed at the old man.
Ignoring Freya's expression, the old man thought for a moment and said directly, "Apprentice, although I am very interested in this Synthetic Creature you have, there is only one. Two experiments would likely consume it all unless you also include your previous Magical Plants catalysis techniques and that set of Spell theoretical knowledge as an exchange. How does that sound?"
The old man's words brought joy to Freya's heart. She had brought this creature back from the Testing Area. Although she had intended to investigate its origins, she had found nothing. It seemed that either the data on this Synthetic Creature was lost or her level was insufficient. Judging by the old man's expression, it was clear that the latter was more likely.
However, despite this, Freya put on an unhappy demeanor, seemingly still bothered by the old man's earlier methods.
"My lord, you must understand that I only stumbled upon this creature by chance. I originally intended to use it for biological research after advancing to Official Wizard; it is very important to me... And now you want to raise the price temporarily... The value may have already exceeded that of Billco Core."
"Hehe, for any excess value, I will compensate you with some Magic Stones. How about that?" The old man replied calmly.
"But..."
Ten minutes later, Freya held a Black Magic Crystal Card and a fist-sized Golden Ore, watching the old man leave.
She glanced at the two items in her hand with some emotion. "As expected of an Official Wizard from the academy, a casual compensation is five hundred Magic Stones. I bet Franc Sith has never seen this much money."
Both parties were satisfied with the transaction. Although Freya was somewhat displeased that the Old Wizard had used the Suggestion Spell on her, she managed to overlook it due to her strong will.
Moreover, Freya felt fortunate that this transaction took place within the academy. If it had been outside, she certainly wouldn't have dared to trade with an Official Wizard as a Third-Rank Apprentice.
It is important to note that not every wizard follows the rules; many cruel wizards have been known to turn against others.
In organizations like Elgreen Academy, which are associated with Dark Wizards, such occurrences are even more frequent.
Fortunately, it seemed that Freya's trading partner did not belong to that category.
With a deep sigh, she turned and walked into her room.
With a click, the door opened.
She approached the window and fully drew back the curtains, allowing light from outside to flood into the room.
Then Freya went to her desk and retrieved a Black Box from a hidden drawer beneath it.
With a snap, she opened it.
Inside the box were two items: a White Mask left for her by Hegel and Nightmare Sand contained in a bottle.
Gently stroking the White Mask, she felt its texture resembling real human skin. Although she had already reached the strength of a Third-Rank Apprentice, she still gained nothing from this mask. However, from this, she could vaguely guess that Hegel had not been an ordinary wizard, and the Official Wizard he mentioned having killed was certainly not an average person either.
Of course, regarding the promise she made, she had no intention of going back on it. Even without any formal contract, she would try her best to help him fulfill it.
After all, at her core, Freya is also a believer in Equivalent Exchange. It is already of great value that Hegel introduced her to this mysterious world.
She gently placed the Billco Core next to the Nightmare Sand.
Freya calmly closed the box, and with a light touch of her finger, a strand of green Thin Line instantly vanished into the box.
After doing this, she returned the box to its hidden drawer.
"Now the only material I lack is Demon Eye Grass Powder. The cultivation of Demon Eye Grass is quite demanding, but for such precious Magical Plants, I can try to issue a quest to obtain them. Given the academy's resources, even if I can't get them, there should be some clues!"
She subconsciously touched the Black Crystal Card at her waist. Her assets were unprecedentedly abundant now, giving her a sense of confidence.
"Just in time, the resources for the Promotion Array are almost ready. It's time to select some Defensive Spells. Although the academy is led by the Shadow Necromancy Department, there must be plenty of Spell Models from other first-level departments in stock."
However, she glanced outside; the light was already dimming, and the glowing pillars of light along the road had been lit.
Above the dark spire of the academy, a few large black birds could be seen swiftly soaring by.
The invisible defensive Magic Circle had already been activated. Since Freya returned to the academy, the higher-ups had directly ordered all apprentices below Third Rank not to leave the academy, and those stationed outside were also temporarily barred from returning.
The shadow of war had begun to send ripples through the once peaceful academy.
A few lower-ranking apprentices hurriedly walked past her window with books in hand.
After watching those apprentices disappear into the distance, Freya vaguely sensed the atmosphere around her.
"Forget it, I'll go to the Trading Area tomorrow."
She gently shook her head and thought for a moment before taking out the metal rod she had purchased from Lisa.
Her mental strength is now almost up to the standard for promotion.
However, becoming an Official Wizard requires more than just this requirement.
In addition to reaching a certain level of mental strength, her body must also be in peak condition to allow the Promotion Array to extract more potential for enhancing both her physical and spiritual life levels.
Currently, her constitution is severely overloaded with Plant Energy. If she were to use the Promotion Array now, it would definitely have an adverse effect, and there is a high possibility of failing the promotion outright.
The metal rod is silver and about half a meter long.
Freya touched the entire metal rod and found a slight protrusion at the very bottom, gently pressing on it!
Then, following Lisa's instructions, she simply tossed it onto the ground.
With a 'thud,' as soon as the metal rod made contact with the ground, it began to melt slowly like gelatin, spreading out flat.
Before long, a silver magic circle with a diameter of about one meter appeared on the ground.
"This folding-type magic circle technology is really convenient; it can form without any guidance from mental strength and can be used multiple times," Freya observed curiously as she watched the rapidly forming circle.
Although her studies in the Enchantment Department included knowledge of drawing magic circles, her focus was primarily on runes, enchanted items, and temporary enchantments.
She has researched magic circles but is not an expert in them.
From her perspective, this balance magic circle can be considered of medium grade.
Trading ten Magic Stones for it is not too much of a loss, though it certainly isn't overly cheap either.
