Chapter 337 Ian's Thoughts, Darwin's Gift, the Law Domain, the Eternal Sky!

Chapter 337 Ian's Thoughts, Darwin's Gift, the Law Domain, the Eternal Sky!

"Do you want to go to the Gray Tower?"

Darwin's voice echoed in Ian's ears, causing him to pause in surprise.

Want to?

Of course I want to.

After all, that was the most powerful wizarding force in the vicinity, with the strongest among them having already reached the fourth ring level, and they could even form a force that transcended war.

But deep down, it seems he wasn't entirely willing.

After all, the secret realm of elemental mysteries contains Metatron's dream, and this one's level is far beyond the fourth ring.

He hadn't even explored the second part of the Emerald Shadow Secret Realm yet.

He had not yet opened the magnificent building that held the academy's heritage.

All his connections are here, his two teachers are here, and the wizards who follow him are here too.

But the most urgent task is...

Let's figure out what's going on.

After all, these words came from Darwin's mouth, and Elgar was there; he needed to understand the situation.

Otherwise, it might cause you trouble.

"Grey Tower?"

He seemed not to understand and asked subconsciously.

"Um.

""

Darwin nodded, looking at Ian with some surprise.

He never expected that after just one project together, Ian would be valued by Elgar from the Radiant Wizarding Division, who even wanted to take him to the Grey Tower.

Verified by the Grey Tower Wizard.

Ian's alchemical talent is indeed outstanding.

"I think it's a waste to leave your alchemical talent here. Even in the Gray Tower, your talent is definitely not unknown. I can give you a chance to go to the Gray Tower and take a look."

Elgar chimed in at this moment.

"this."

Ian pursed his lips, feeling the gazes of the two men making him feel a little awkward standing there.

"Don't worry about the academy. If you can go to the Gray Tower to study, that would definitely be good news. We won't force you to stay here."

While Darwin wanted Ian to retain his talent, he wouldn't prevent the wizards in the department from having a better future.

Ian fell into deep thought.

"However, it's not certain, because the number of places available at the academy is limited each time. I'm not sure either, so I'm just asking for your opinion now. You may have to wait a while to get an answer. I'm just asking for your willingness."

Elgar added from the side.

"I can."

Upon hearing this, Ian finally nodded.

If it's just a matter of willingness, then it doesn't matter; we can decide whether to go or not later.

Let's reserve it first and see what happens.

"Okay, I'll be leaving Elemental Mystic Arts tomorrow. If you change your mind, you can let me know, and you can ask your teacher."

Elgar then stood up and said.

Are you leaving already?

Ian was taken aback.

"Of course, for me, this is just a task from the academy. Once it's completed, I should leave. What I didn't expect was to encounter such a talented wizard in the realm of elemental mysteries. Ian, you're quite impressive. I hope to see you again someday."

Elgar smiled.

"Have a safe journey, and thank you for your guidance during this time."

Ian also bowed.

These words came from the bottom of his heart, because Elgar had really given him a lot of guidance during this period.

This was entirely out-of-pocket.

Under normal circumstances, it's perfectly acceptable to charge a fee, and even if you pay, you still won't be able to find it.

This allowed him to skip directly from the initial stage of becoming a second-level alchemist.

"Goodbye."

Elgar patted Ian on the shoulder and strode away, seemingly just to say this one thing.

Ian, thinking it was all over, prepared to say goodbye to Darwin.

"Ian, stay here for a moment."

Darwin suddenly said something.

"minister?"

"sit."

Darwin pointed to where Elgar had been sitting, indicating that Ian should relax.

Ian nodded, sat down, and sat up straight, adopting a respectful posture.

"I wasn't planning on telling you this, but since you were able to move even Elgar, I think it's necessary to talk to you."

Darwin looked at Ian and said, "Let's not talk about going to the Gray Tower, because usually people go there to learn, and very few can directly join. In the end, they still have to return to the academy. So I wanted to ask Ian, what are your plans?"

"What are my plans?"

Ian was bewildered, not understanding Darwin's meaning.

"Yes, you've advanced to the early stage of the second ring, so you should really start thinking about the second ring now. Why hasn't Kieran talked to you about it yet?"

Ian shook his head.

Kieran seems to have been very busy lately; he hasn't seen him.

"Then I'll talk to you on Kieran's behalf."

Darwin nodded and said, "I mainly want to ask you whether you have thought about your future role in the academy."

"position?"

Ian was dumbfounded again.

Darwin could tell from Ian's expression that he knew nothing: "In the academy, there's no need to consider becoming a first-ring wizard. It's all about scholarships, elite cores, and so on. Everything is for advancing to the second ring."

But things change after the second ring. Wizards have very high resource requirements, so basically all wizards have to rely on the academy.

Ian nodded.

"Therefore, after the second ring, there are three types of roles for wizards. The first type is the logistics and academic line, in the Alchemy Department, Potions Department and other academic departments. The promotion path is generally the ordinary second ring professional, senior, project manager, deputy minister, minister. The second type is the battle group, with members serving as squad leaders, captains, platoon leaders, deputy leaders, leaders, etc."

The third type is the academy management line: branch instructors, senior branch instructors, branch vice deans, and deans. The fourth type is the free wizard. "Darwin said slowly.

This was also the first time Ian had heard about the development path of the second ring road within the academy. "What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?"

"Ian asked."

Darwin explained: "The first type, like us, has many advantages. One is that it's safe and we can refine gold and cultivate at the same time. We also have a lot of resources. The disadvantage is that the merits are very dependent on the project, which is very difficult. The second type is the warband. It has a lot of resources but is dangerous. The third type has great power and a lot of resources, but it takes time and experience to accumulate. The last type is free but restricted in many ways. I do not recommend any wizard to choose this type."

"So I want to know, Ian, what are you thinking right now?"

Darwin looked at Ian, wanting to know what he was thinking.

Ian fell into thought.

He ruled out the fourth one first.

After all, the fastest way to grow is to rely on the academy. Free wizards may seem free, but they are actually the least free. They have to rely on themselves for everything, which is only slightly better than wandering wizards in the outside world.

What about the warband?

negative.

With the war about to begin, and the war potentially affecting White Stone Territory, his talent could be improved indefinitely, so he could just stay in the rear.

For him, this choice was a last resort.

Moreover, this is clearly a comparison of combat strength.

But there are always those stronger than him, so this is a bottomless pit.

Manage the network lines.

Having great power and abundant resources is certainly desirable, but it requires accumulating seniority and time, which he cannot tolerate.

Not to mention maintaining various social connections, which is clearly the path taken by Milo back then.

He didn't like it either.

On the contrary, the first route is logistics and academic route, alchemist? Learn it?

Ian immediately thought of these two words: completing the project was certainly difficult, but the benefits were enormous, and it would allow him to quickly improve his talent.

The latter learns to apply for projects independently, and he can apply for projects with resources that are beneficial to his advancement.

Moreover, in this respect...

He possesses a panel of skills and complementary abilities, and even the insight to elevate one's thinking, giving him a unique talent.

It seems that we have no choice but to choose this route.

"Sir, I think the logistics and academic track might be more suitable for me."

Ian only thought for a few minutes before giving a positive answer.

Upon hearing this answer...

Darwin smiled too.

Ian chose the logistics-academic route. Aside from the academic aspect, he would definitely choose their alchemy department for logistics.

He also hopes that Ian can join the Alchemy Department family.

"A very good choice. The warband is a bunch of barbarians, and managing the lines is a joke. It's really pointless for wizards to fight for power. Only our logistics, especially our alchemy department, has real potential. You've made the right choice," Darwin said with a smile.

Ian's lips twitched.

He suspected that Darwin's position was not so neutral.

And there is evidence to support it.

This was indeed Henry's idea, and he had been operating in the Alchemy Department and the Debt Association for so long.

There has been absolutely no progress in the battle groups and branch schools.

Let's continue along the route we took on the first loop.

"Your project is finished, and you played a very important role. In a few days, I will give you the certification of a second-level junior alchemist, which will also signify your official joining of the Alchemy Department. Welcome, Ian."

Darwin then stood up and extended his hand.

Ian also got up.

shake hands.

"The project's rewards will also be distributed, and as for this, it's a personal gift from me to you."

Darwin casually pointed to a storage container and handed it over.

Ian was taken aback and probed with his mental energy.

Inside, several items were neatly stacked, each emitting a faint elemental fluctuation. They were not brand new, but were very well maintained, with the metal demon face showing slight signs of misuse.

"This is----?"

"This is what I used when I was young." Darwin sat back in his chair, his tone indifferent, as if he were talking about something insignificant. "When I was promoted to a junior alchemist of the second ring, this was the first set of personal equipment I bought with my own money. It accompanied me through the junior stage of the second ring. Later, I replaced it with something better, and I've kept it all this time. It's just sitting there anyway, so I might as well give it to you."

This?

Darwin then withdrew his spatial storage, pointed, and took out several items.

They were laid out on the table.

"There are four items in total: a fine gold rune engraving knife, a portable elemental detector, alchemy goggles, and a small elemental purifier. That's a basic set of second-level alchemy equipment. You can take a look," Darwin said.

Ian's eyes lit up.

He's been at the alchemical equipment level for a long time, but Heng hasn't acquired a set yet.

The main problem is that this thing is really expensive, and he doesn't have much spare money.

It's not that it's useless; on the contrary, this thing can greatly enhance an alchemist's abilities and efficiency.

Ian touched it lightly.

His object perception instantly sensed the effects of these items. The carving knife allowed his mental energy to flow more smoothly and increase stability; the element detection pen could detect element concentration and impurities; and the gold-plated goggles could switch between magnification and spectral modes, providing multiple observation methods.

Small-scale element purifiers can perform preliminary element purification of materials in seconds, which can improve efficiency.

"Thanks for yelling."

Ian suppressed his inner joy; with this thing, his alchemy efficiency would only increase.

I hope these things will be of some help to you.

Darwin looked at the four items with a reluctant expression, but in the end, Henry packed them up and handed them to Ian.

"As for the shortcomings in the Gray Tower area, you can ask your teacher."

Darwin concluded.

"Okay, yell at people."

Hide the harvest.

Ian nodded.

After leaving here.

Ian went to see Kieran again.

I never expected that it would actually be there.

So I explained the matter.

"Going to the Gray Tower? That's a good thing. If you can go, you should definitely go. But don't take it too seriously, because there are very few spots to join the Gray Tower, and every year, they are basically reserved for wizards from the Wizarding Domain with connections. I was recommended back then too," Kieran said.

It was also recommended?

Heng is still in the realm of elemental mysteries.

This clearly says something.

Ian hadn't expected this either; no wonder Elgar said she wasn't sure.

"domain?"

Ian said instinctively.

Kieran casually remarked, "This is a new regional division within the Wizard Territory."

"The Wizarding World, from smallest to largest, is basically composed of wizard gathering points/resource points, wizard territories, wizard domains, and the single most powerful regional unit, the Law Domain."

For example, my basic elemental mystic arts have transformed into the Wizard's Domain, while the Gray Tower Academy has transformed into the Gray Stone Domain.

jurisdiction.

These are regions that exist in only a handful throughout the entire wizarding world, and each of these domains is occupied by a truly behemoth power.

.

A behemoth power?

Ian's eyes flickered.

"Then what legal domain controls the area where I am located?"

Kilan looked over with calm eyes and said, "The domain I reside in is called the Celestial Domain."

Kieran took a deep breath, his eyes filled with a mixture of awe and fear, and slowly said, "The Eternal Sky!"

Celestial Domain!

Eternal heavens!

Ian's gaze froze, as if he had firmly imprinted those four words in his heart. This was the most prestigious institution in the wizarding world, and also the most elite wizarding academy.

How strong?

For some reason, Ian asked a question instinctively.

"The Law Domain has dozens of domains under its command, and the Gray Tower is just a rather insignificant force among them."

Kieran said slowly.

Dozens?

There must be hundreds of wizards now.

The numerical comparison made Ian instantly realize the terrifying power of this island-level force, and he felt a surge of excitement.

He quickly calmed down again.

After all, no matter how strong the Eternal Sky is, it has nothing to do with him. What truly matters to him is the Gray Tower. As for him, instead of thinking about that, he should focus on figuring out his future development path.

How will the department and the debtor develop?

Ian quickly asked as well.

"This route suits you perfectly."

Kieran nodded; he also felt that Ian was well-suited to develop in the field of advanced techniques.

This allows him to fully utilize his talents.

After Ian inquired further and confirmed that it was indeed the case, he felt relieved.

"Thank you, teacher."

97

Ian left.

the next day.

Elgar and Alberto left.

The airship was seen off.

Alberto looked at Ian and said, "Ian, if you have the chance to visit Grey Tower, I'll treat you."

Ian was surprised.

Because Alberto was so proud, not only Ian, but also the wizards who were seeing him off were surprised.

Is this a modification?

However, when the next wizard arrived, Alberto simply reverted to his aloof demeanor, and everyone then understood.

Alberto's enthusiasm was directed only at Ian.

soon.

The airship departed.

Another day.

The rewards from the branch arrived, along with the document announcing Ian's advancement to the second-level junior alchemist.
