Incomprehensible.

Unbelievable.

After urging Annan before Salvatore and asking him to show the four spells he had in turn in turn, he sat in his seat and stared at Annan without saying a word or in a daze.

He is...... How?

An unranked wizard apprentice spent two days learning four spells without anyone teaching him.

The teacher said that Don Juan was very talented, but Salvatore didn't believe it at the time......

Now, it seems, is this a "very" level of talent?!

Teacher, what the hell are you doing, haven't you taught him a spell?

Salvatore could tell that the casting traces of these four spells were very faint. This means that their lord almost never uses these four spells after learning them.

This can only be because Annan has really just learned these four spells.

As a spell is released repeatedly, the corresponding curse gradually symbiotes with the main body, and the power of the spell will become more and more powerful. Until it becomes completely instinctive, it can be used without casting spells or consuming mana.

That's why most of the time, it's always the old wizard who is stronger.

While this doesn't guarantee that an old wizard will be strong—after all, it's possible that he didn't learn his first spell until he was forty or fifty years old—but a young wizard isn't strong enough.

…… Damn it.

Don Juan, this guy can't be the illegitimate son of the mysterious lady, right?

Salvatore suddenly had such a blasphemous thought in his mind.

He almost doubted his life for more than 30 years.

He remembers that it took him three weeks to learn his first spell and succeed in his apprenticeship as a wizard. As he solidified the flame on the candle into a red hedroder, his Transversionist instructor praised his talent and introduced him to Benjamin.

Under Benjamin's teaching, it took him ten days to learn the second spell - to detonate the hedron and turn it into pieces of iron. Benjamin then watched him until he had reduced the large pieces of iron into fine, numerous steel needles before allowing him to learn the next spell.

That's the bootstrap spell, Magnetization. It controls the needle to fly through the air.

His next spell is the very difficult [Thunderstorm Field]. It took him two months to learn the spell.

It can use a pair of magnetized metal objects as materials to summon high-voltage lightning bolts that connect two steel pins. Using the hedron he had prepared in advance, he could summon a steel needle and immediately summon a large area of electricity.

After holding a full real-time tactical loop, Salvatore was allowed to advance to Bronze. Become a Transforming Wizard.

Every Bronze Rank Transcendent must possess a considerable degree of combat power. This is to prevent them from being easily killed by ordinary people.

It's a responsibility for one's own life, and it's a responsibility for others.

Because the corpses of the transcendents must be disposed of as soon as possible.

This is done by having another transcendent perform a ritual to absorb the former's curse and inherit the former's curse - one of the fastest ways to gain power, and often evidence of killing others.

And if the curse of a transcendent person lasts for a long time, no one absorbs it...... Nightmares will be born out of it.

The nightmare of the birth of a Bronze Transcendent alone is enough to easily kill an ordinary person—after all, humans cannot maintain their waking selves in dreams until they become transcendents. If you continue to die in nightmares, you will gradually be infected by the curse and gradually become a twisted monster...... Or a lucky death.

Even if he became a transcendent, he could only barely stay awake, knowing that he was just in a dream, and he might not even be able to recall his original identity.

Only those who possess the gift of magic can stay awake in their dreams.

And even for the clergy, the malice, despair, pain, and anger of the owner of the nightmare will infect them all the time, interfering with their decisions and making them make choices that "they cannot have made".

It's not that you can get extraordinary power to be far superior to ordinary people...... But if you can't defeat ordinary people independently, no matter how talented you are, you won't be allowed to advance to an extraordinary person.

Each time you advance, you must share your spell with the world in the presence of another transcendent being. And this person is their own secret keeper, usually their mentors, parents, seniors, and seniors.

In other words, a mortal can never advance to a transcendent without the trust and affirmation of at least one transcendent.

"Can I advance now?"

Annan asked Salvatore earnestly.

"Can ......"

Salvatore felt his throat feel a little hoarse.

No, no, no, it's definitely because it's roasted outside by fire......

He struggled to suppress the jealousy and despair in his heart. As a transcendent being, every negative emotion is a ticking time bomb.

"Since Don Juan is willing to trust me and choose me instead of being his teacher's keeper, I can't do anything immoral to him."

Salvatore admonished himself in his heart.

Because every transcendent needs a trustworthy keeper of secrets.

The reason why they should be trustworthy is that after the Secret Keeper gets their spells, they can easily kill them.

If no one knows about your curse, then the curse will not be bound, and each time you use your supernatural power, it will erode you. On the other hand, the more people you keep secrets, the stronger the oath becomes.

This spell is both a rope that binds the master's actions and an armor that protects the master from being corrupted by the curse.

Oath and curse, this is the duality of this world.

"So, when can we have the ceremony?"

Annan frowned slightly, and asked with some urgency: "Viscount Roseburg is trying to be against me, and I must get enough strength to protect myself as soon as possible." ”

"Don't worry, since I have chosen to be your keeper of secrets, I can be regarded as half of your mentor. I'll definitely settle your questions before leaving. ”

Salvatore promised: "As long as I live, you will not suffer." ”

As he spoke, he explained to Annan what a secret keeper is, as well as the relationship and obligations between a secret keeper and a person who is bound.

One of the obligations is that the bound person has an obligation to collect the body of the keeper. Of course, Salvatore has many people under his name, and it is not necessarily Annan's turn. But as a legacy, he still has to say this explicitly.

After listening to this, Annan nodded.

"Yes."

Annan replied cheerfully: "I can trust you." ”

I can't believe it, but I can't help it.

Annan was also very helpless in his heart. At least until his identity is revealed, Salvatore must be credible.

He'd only seen one transcendent from his friendly camp...... And he must have a sufficient level of strength and compulsion at the beginning of the player's arrival.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to hold them down.

If the identity is revealed, it is a big deal to change the person who keeps the secret...... No, forget it.

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and vetoed the idea.

It's better to be more simply and choose a spell that is really hard to break. The most important thing is not to contradict yourself. Benjamin's first spell, for example, is actually quite difficult to violate.

Of course, the main thing is to see what kind of spell you will get.

According to Salvatore's previous introduction, the permanent spell you receive when you advance is not of your own choice, but it is not imposed by others. Instead, choose one of several targeted spells based on what you did in your Advanced Nightmare.

The better the nightmare is completed, the more powerful the spell will be, and the wider the spell itself will be. Conversely, if the Nightmare Completion is low, the spell will be very clear and the power it brings will be poor.

"Since you're in a hurry to advance, then I'll stay up all night tonight."

Salvatore sighed, barely opened his sleepy eyes, and whispered:

"Don Juan, bring me the winter suit. I went to the basement to analyze the Black Fire sample to see who had sold it to Viscount Roseburg. This thing must be soundproofed and cooled down, otherwise there is a possibility of explosion......"

"How long will it take?"

"It's fast, about seven or eight hours. Anyway, it's not enough time for me to sleep. ”

The young mayor with two dark circles under his eyes and looking like I was in a state of love took the winter suit, sighed again, and said very irritablely: "Don't bother me! I'm going to work—don't bother me after that, I'll talk about it tomorrow morning!" ”

Soon, Salvatore was in the soundproof and insulated basement.

Annan looked at his watch, it was not yet seven o'clock. So he ate dinner first and then came back to continue reading.

He plans to stay out of sleep today and see what happens at twelve o'clock in the morning.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the morning that some hints suddenly crossed his eyes.
