Chapter 1241: The Land of Clocks and Watches (II.)

Judging from the general law that the more you upgrade the mage profession in the Varess World, the more difficult it is to get the qualification for promotion, not to mention any advanced archmage. There are nearly 3,000 resident mages in Beacon Mountain, but the number of archmages is less than thirty, and the fastest record for an advanced archmage in history is 24 years old, Nikita is undoubtedly an arcane genius, but at the age of twenty-two, she wants to be among the ranks of archmages...... I'm afraid that in addition to hard work, you also need a little luck.

In another letter to Roland two weeks ago, Nikita expressed an unconcealed sense of frustration. The harsh practice of purgatory has lasted for more than half a year, but she still has not been able to reach level 13, and in another month, this year's advanced trial will be held, according to the rules, only a maximum of six people can participate in the trial at the same time in each period, and only the strongest and luckiest trialists will be able to obtain the precious and only advanced Upanishads after defeating other competitors. Now there are five people who have confirmed to participate in this year's advanced trial, and only the last place is undecided, if she is still so uncompetitive, she will have to wait for next year.

At the end of the letter, Nikita reflected that she had been writing to Roland frequently, which not only disturbed his work, but also distracted herself, so she decided not to write to him anymore until she was promoted to level 13 Lighthouse Witch, and focused all her attention on her cultivation.

Since she has such determination, Roland is not good at replying to her, but silently wishes her a successful advance as soon as possible.

However, it's not that simple. Two days later, Nikita sent him another letter, complaining about why he didn't reply? Just because he didn't reply to the letter, the sensitive Miss Mage had been restless and sleepless for the past two days, and wondered if he was angry after receiving the last letter, so he didn't reply to her, maybe he still sneered in his heart: "If you don't write to me, I won't write to you in the future, so I just break off the relationship!" ”

Roland couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly replied to tell her that he didn't have that kind of thought, but he was afraid of interfering with her practice, so it was inconvenient to reply to the letter, but he didn't expect her to have a misunderstanding because of this......

I received a reply from Nikita that afternoon. Miss Master's initial text was filled with joy, because after receiving his reply, she was inexplicably happy, and she ate an extra bowl for lunch, but unconsciously broke her vow and replied to him, delaying the cultivation time...... Somewhat guilty.

Roland has a real headache now! It's not to write a letter, it's not to write a letter, Miss Mage's mind is unpredictable, what can I do?

After much consideration, he replied. And in the letter, he blamed himself: "It's not that you took the initiative to write to me, it's that I can't help but write to you, and you have to write back to me, if our correspondence hinders you from preparing for the advanced exam, it's all my fault, you must not blame yourself......"

Miss Master replied that she was very moved, and accepted his consolation, and in the future, she would no longer be entangled in such a trivial matter as writing letters, and asked him not to blame himself too much, because "feelings are like a flood, and it is difficult to contain."

"Since you miss me so much, I'm afraid it's not enough to just write letters, you might as well come to Beacon Hill as a guest when you have time, no matter how busy I am, I will find time to accompany you, after all, we are best friends, right? Don't be polite to me! ”

Roland couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat after receiving the letter, is this an invitation or a threat? Miss Mage's full of arrogance is about to overflow between the lines, this friend is really difficult to serve!

How to reply to Miss Mage's letter made Roland feel embarrassed. After some thought, instead of replying directly to Nikita, he wrote a respectfully worded letter to her mother, Madame Anna.

In the letter, Roland first thanked Beacon Hill for underwriting the Far Eastern treasury bonds, which provided much-needed construction funds for the nascent kingdom of Kolas...... I wrote a bunch of polite words before turning to the topic, saying that I was very concerned about Nikita's current situation, and wanted to visit her but was worried about disturbing her practice, "So I took the liberty to write to you, please help, when Nikita has completed her practice, please reply to inform her, and then I will discuss with her the itinerary of visiting Lighthouse Hill......"

After going around in such a big circle, there is only one purpose: to try to please her mother if you can't figure out the girl's thoughts, and you can often get the miraculous effect of simplifying the complex.

This trick proved to be a good idea, and on the morning that Roland decided to visit Matvey in Sayre, he received a reply from Lady Anna.

Lady Anna revealed in the letter that her daughter had been successfully promoted to level 13 Lighthouse Witch last night, and she was excited to copy the 7-ring arcane scroll overnight.

Lady Anna tried to persuade her daughter to rest early, and told her that Roland was interested in visiting, and that if she didn't want to see her sweetheart with dark circles under her eyes, it was best to catch up on her sleep.

Nikita struggled for a long time, and finally asked her mother to write back to Roland, not to come to Beacon Hill for the time being, because she still had to prepare for the advanced trial, and she would definitely be reluctant to let him go when Roland came, and it was impossible for her to calm down and prepare for the trial.

As an alternative, she decided to take the initiative to go on a date with Roland, and the two of them had a good time for two days, which was considered a short vacation. After that, Roland continued to work on his work, and Nikita went home to prepare for the trial, and on the day of the trial, Roland came to visit Lighthouse Hill officially, and by the way, he could help her, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Mrs. Anna, lest Roland did not understand her daughter's complicated thoughts, explained them in her letter. This year's Archmage Advanced Trial was particularly competitive, with the six people who participated in the trial having the youngest seniority and the lowest rank. If Roland comes to Beacon Hill, Nikita will not only be distracted to accompany him, but also worried that people will gossip after the trial fails, such as "If you don't prepare for the trial seriously, you spend all your time with her boyfriend before and after, and it's strange if you can pass...... That's why she decided to go to a place outside of Beacon Hill to accompany Roland for a tryst, so as not to let her acquaintances see it.

In addition, Lady Anna revealed a detail of the Advanced Trial to Roland. The trialist can bring an assistant to face the advanced challenge together, and if the assistant is strong, the chance of passing the challenge will of course. Nikita asked Roland to come to Beacon Hill on Trial Day to ask him to be her trial assistant.

To be fair, the Trials rules require that the assistant must not be higher than the trialist himself, and cannot be an arcane spellcaster. Roland now has a comprehensive class level of 13, which is the same as Nikita, and he is not an arcane professional himself, which happens to meet the requirements of an assistant.

In fact, after returning from Akron, the "City of Nightmares", Roland has accumulated enough potential points to increase to level 14, but considering the possibility of learning new abilities, he has not spent his potential to upgrade for the time being. Now I think it's a blessing that I didn't level up, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to help Nikita participate in the Advanced Trial.
