Chapter 2, The Witch

A flash of lightning rolled through, and the forest at the original location immediately returned to tranquility

For instance, the Grand Sorcerer Kael'thas is a master of the four elemental magics. Even the Grand Sorcerer of Piltover is only proficient in wind and fire magic. As for Victor's strength, no one knows.

Based on her satisfaction with the response and her apology for dragging her boss out of bed so early, Kate offered two gold coins as payment for this breakfast

"Is that voice the incantation?" Enleike asked, in fact, he had had this thought for a long time.

The helpless boss had no choice but to bid farewell to his beloved pillow and, in a daze, made his way to the kitchen to start a fire and prepare a meal

Disregarding Bertina's pale face, Chris continued to lead everyone to another room

After a long journey, the group finally arrived in front of Chris

The four individuals standing at a distance equally felt an overwhelming force. Jerry and Bertina could hardly maintain their footing on the rocks. The massive tree they leaned against emitted waves of groans, a sound that resonated with the trembling of the forest

The spacious room was filled to the brim with various items of lingerie, underpants, shirts, trousers, coats, skirts, and robes

Upon reaching a door, a wave of the arm causes the door to open naturally

There is only a large door facing forward, which resembles the appearance and size of the city gate of Xintan.

"Please, do not compare me to that old monster. I am just an ordinary person," Jerry pleaded.

Of course, roasted quail is much more delicious than you are

You noticed it too! When she uses magic, apart from the sharp cries, she has never been seen using any incantations.

Every year, a large number of people enter the mountains, having already paved the way for this group. Along the way, one can also encounter the forest keepers who reside in the enchanting magical woods. Once encountered, it becomes a time for this group to improve their meals.

The giant wolf ignored the spear that Kate thrust at it and walked straight towards the bonfire. The spear struck the back of the giant wolf, producing a sound like metal clashing against stone

"What kind of person was your original master?" Jerry asked further

I truly want to know how she is able to use four types of magic simultaneously; she cannot possibly have three heads like a three-headed wolf

After listening to Lao Lang's commentary, Kate and Enleike, who were sitting at the edge of the rock, nearly fell off the rock.

And now, it is evident that a future malevolent sorcerer is taking shape. It remains uncertain whether this is the greatest failure of this trial

There happens to be another specimen here; let's give it a try.

Thus, every time I see Kate being roasted to a crisp like a freshly baked duck, or being electrocuted to the point where she can only move by hopping, or experiencing a phenomenon of desynchronization during the magical martial synchronization training that leads to spontaneous combustion, only to be extinguished by the icy water attack from Chris, Bertina truly feels fortunate for herself. It seems that fate treats each person differently, and it appears that the divine has been kind to her.

Kate was unceremoniously kicked out

"It was not I who invented it; the inventor is an assistant hired by my magic teacher," Chris said with a pout.

Then, both of these quails are ready for you, and we will leave immediately said Kate as she moved closer to her companion

After a long period of time, suddenly, the old wolf howled three times to the sky

On the fifth day deep in the jungle, the path became increasingly difficult to traverse. Many times, we had to rely on Kate to forge a way ahead.

Only at this moment did Bertina feel less afraid of the beast, as it is said that well-fed wild animals are not aggressive

After one hour, all the Spinosaurus were inevitably engulfed by that mass of fog

The astonished young trial participants had not yet reacted, each one staring blankly. For a moment, no one stepped forward to answer.

"Who organized your trial?" Chris said coldly

Oh, then why have you come to this Dreamlike Enchanted Forest

What? Are you the great sorceress Chris? several people asked in astonishment simultaneously

After two days of peaceful coexistence, everyone (except Bertina) no longer felt afraid of the wolf

Due to having spent more than two months together (during which the originally scheduled cooking tasks assigned to Bertina were considered completed, but only less than half of the laundry was done, thus she had to continue staying, and of course, the cooking tasks were still carried out by her), the trial student and the magician Chris became mutually familiar with each other

However, a clear pain tormented the four young trial participants. The scene before them was a blur, yet they could vaguely sense that the surroundings were constantly shifting and changing. Each change was accompanied by a new, intense jolt of electricity

It seems that the formidable sorceress Chris before us is indeed a rogue sorcerer who can rival Victor. Not only does she lack the dignity expected of a sorcerer, but she is also severely deficient in even the most basic morals

The scriptures record the following passage: "Saint Bertina, Prophet Enleko, and Holy Knight Kate unified King Jerry in the Forest of the Gods to obtain the teachings of the Father God. Saint Bertina was tasked with bringing the divine gift of holy water to the mortal realm; Prophet Enleko was charged with spreading the sacred teachings to humanity; Holy Knight Kate was assigned to dismantle the existing system; and Unified King Jerry was entrusted with establishing a new order"

Enleike is truly delighted; there is nothing more joyful than having a friend by your side during lonely times

That guy's greatest desire is to live off others and wait for death; his favorite things are women, fine wine, and gourmet food; what he fears the most is fame and socializing; what he detests the most is cultivation and practice. His skills in deception and groping women are far superior to his magic. Not a single female disciple under the teacher's tutelage has escaped his clutches. "Kris said indignantly, completely unaware that she had just revealed her own embarrassing stories.

The old werewolf rose amidst the long howls, as the violent hurricane uprooted the trees around it, and the hurricane suddenly ignited.

"Alright! Let's give it a try, but once I think you are not capable, I will dismiss you immediately, understood?" The cunning witch said with an air of superiority

I think it would be best for us to step back a little further

In today's world, magic and martial arts belong to two completely different systems of power. Although there are some practitioners who are proficient in both magic and martial arts, their use of the two powers cannot occur simultaneously

I helped my father in the shop since I was young. Most of the customers in our store were travelers passing through various places. Our shop also served coffee, and these travelers often enjoyed a cup while replenishing their energy, engaging in lively discussions. After years of listening and observing, I learned it all.

For example, the lively and energetic Jerry excels in wind magic. If he were to switch to the solid and steady earth magic, it would surely be a case of achieving half the results with double the effort

The magician Chris signed Jerry's trial manual. Jerry promised that he would deposit the money into Chris's account as soon as he got home

Enleike recommends returning immediately to the village at the entrance of the Dreamy Magic Forest to reconfigure equipment and then continue onward

"Kaolun Si, are you disciples of Kaolun Si?" Chris's cold voice slightly warmed up.

"Where did this come from?" Kate asked in confusion

Despite enduring great torment, Kate still gained considerable rewards

Because most of the tools forged by this blacksmith shop are for the villagers' own use, they are crafted with considerable precision. Although their appearance is simple, they are made using the standard technique of layered folded iron forging. Despite being household items, they have evidently undergone multiple quenching processes.

Speaking of gains, it is surprisingly Bertina who benefits the most. An unexpected opportunity led her to discover that the detergent improved by Chris possesses extraordinary healing and regenerative stimulation capabilities

"You all step aside first, do not hinder me from catching the wolf," said Chris

Therefore, through continuous practice, her mastery of this magic has become increasingly profound. Naturally, the objects for practice are never in short supply; aside from the perpetually injured Kate and Enleiko, that pile of clothes, towering like a mountain, remains an everlasting pain in her heart

Jerry's teacher, the great wizard Pilt, certainly uses lightning magic, but he does not believe that Jerry will be able to grow to the level of using this type of magic in the near future, and therefore did not provide an in-depth introduction to lightning magic

It turns out that due to the addition of a wolf, a larger portion of food must be prepared (that old wolf eats an extraordinary amount)

Therefore, when Enleike ordered Jerry to find a place to bury the remaining money, Jerry immediately complied without a word, which truly startled the other three individuals.

We are the trial students of the Sorcerer's Association of the Kingdom of Sophien, currently undergoing the trials" Kate interjected

On the way back to the hotel, the two of them also stopped by a local hunter's home to inquire about purchasing a hunting bow and two quivers of arrows for their personal use

Bertina nodded repeatedly, indicating that even long-term training as a priestess could not compare to the brief time spent with Chris

Two individuals continuously enumerate their discoveries

The four of them continued walking until noon before stopping to find a clear area to rest. At this point, Bertina and Jerry at least began to appreciate the benefits of their travel attire. Although they had walked for the entire morning, neither of them felt overly fatigued.

The blade is adorned with a dazzling pattern, and the edge has been honed to a sharpness. It is far superior to my own mass-produced knife, which was sharpened with a file. Moreover, those few long spears are not only excellent weapons for self-defense, but they can also serve as walking sticks in daily use, and can even be used to carry luggage. This truly makes them the best equipment for traveling in the mountains

And she had never stayed in the same place. She always used that magic called "Teleport" to jump around the old wolf.

In this battle between humans and wolves, only four trial participants were left in awe.

"Teacher Collins from New Nac City," Kate replied

Kate asked in frustration the reason for waking him up so early

Among them is a meticulously crafted, intricately designed multi-purpose mountain pickaxe. The owner mentioned that someone provided him with the blueprint to create it. He found this tool to be very practical, so he produced several more.

The topic became increasingly difficult to find, ultimately returning to the duel they had just experienced

Reflecting on that earth-shattering battle, and reaffirming the earlier statement, the two seemed to have gained some understanding

Indeed! I did not notice it either. Enlaikodao

It seems that this Victor has a connection with the four of you, doesn't he?" Chris said in an unusually gentle tone

However, the total weight of these garments is still less than what Jerry is carrying. Jerry has brought along 500 gold coins, 500 silver coins, and 500 copper coins. Oh my!

Indeed! If you recite a spell at the fastest frequency, it becomes like this," Chris replied

"Hehe, for a genius like me, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished," said Chris.

"Such a peculiar name must certainly pertain to ancient magic. How could I possibly know what the *picture* book might contain?" Jerry replied

The strength of the old wolf goes without saying; a few days of interaction have left a deep impression on the four trial participants

Watching the sorceress Chris directing Bertina to do this and that, the other three trial participants, while feeling sympathy, couldn't help but recall the tales they often heard from adults in their childhood, where a young and pitiful girl was mistreated by an old witch in a castle and forced to do heavy labor. It turns out there was a basis in real life for this.

Before me lies a scene of devastation. In the middle of the forest, a massive pit nearly one kilometer in diameter has been gouged out, with all the surrounding trees leaning towards the center of the pit

Ultimately, Jerry obtained Chris's approval for the passage at a price of 25,000 gold coins

These training contents can be broadly divided into two types: magical endurance training and magical martial synchronization training

Such a thick-skinned woman is truly ... ... " Enleike pondered over his troubles. "Perhaps the Great Mage Kaolun has changed the trial's destination to the Dream Magic Forest precisely to fulfill his own wishes, for there is no one more suitable than this crazy female mage before me to achieve his goals. It seems I should seek more advice from Jerry in the future; his flattery skills must be the best way to achieve the desired outcome.

"Very good, very good, these two quails will be torn into seven pieces, one piece for each person, and I will take the head, feet, and rear end for myself." A strange voice suddenly came from behind.

Be careful, magical attack! Although Enleike did not know what kind of magical attack it was, the intense discomfort compelled him to quickly warn everyone

It is not Cecilia, although Cecilia is also quite detestable

The merciless hurricane swept everything around it into its grasp: rocks, trees, soil, and rivers. A colossal column of wind connecting heaven and earth engulfed countless flashes of lightning, sparks, ice shards, and stones, colliding within a diameter of one mile, reducing all objects within the area to a flattened and ground state

Uncertain whether it was due to surprise or shock, the four individuals once again fell into a state of stupor

Before me, a person and a beast are simultaneously engaged in a fierce battle using high-level magic from the four elemental systems

Kate did not understand why Chris asked such a question, but since childhood, he had heard or answered similar questions countless times: "Strength, speed, skill"

Alas, for five hundred years, humanity's wisdom has not anticipated such a regression! The old wolf said coldly: "The spinosaurus is a type of sub-dragon, possessing the strong defensive capabilities common to dragon species. Ordinary magic has little effect on them. Such levels of magic cannot effectively harm the spinosaurus; its only function is to confine those spinosaurus within a surrounding circle. This creates a situation of encirclement on all sides, while leaving a gap to lure the besieged to break through, and then setting traps outside the gap. Isn't this a tactic that you humans have always employed?" Such levels of magic cannot effectively harm the spinosaurus; its only function is to confine those spinosaurus within a surrounding circle. This creates a situation of encirclement on all sides, while leaving a gap to lure the besieged to break through, and then setting traps outside the gap. Isn't this a tactic that you humans have always employed?

Originally, they had never considered that perhaps the trial overseer would be quite difficult to deal with, after all, the wizards they had encountered were not particularly easy to communicate with, even someone like that scoundrel Victor

The strength of the old wolf has been deeply felt by everyone over the past few days; it is not something that human power can withstand

For several days, Bertina and Jerry have become addicted to eating game. Whenever they encounter a woodsman, they approach him; Jerry asks him for advice on hunting and trapping methods, while Bertina is filled with interest in the cooking of game.

"Kate, do you remember that the great sorceress Chris recited spells while using magic?" Enleiko raised a question that he had always found strange

Although Kate did not say anything, his distant escape from Enleike indicates that he has clearly gained further understanding and improvement regarding his father's lesson on "the insistence on action"

Indeed, what kind of magic is that black ball she emerged from? I have never heard of it before

"This is really disappointing, it keeps people in suspense!" Jerry complained

"You know me very well!" A sharp voice floated down from above

"By the way, my master once said that lightning attribute magic has a major drawback—it can easily be conducted into the ground by metal objects and thus dissipated" Jerry suddenly recalled

The two young individuals, anxiously awaiting a response, experienced entirely different feelings under the sharp gaze of the witch

"Kate, what factors play a dominant role in achieving victory in a swordsmanship duel? Please share your thoughts," Chris said.

After speaking, the two of them supported Jerry and Bertina and retreated to the surroundings. They ran all the way to a hilltop, where the four finally stopped. From there, they could see the silhouette of the old wolf in the distance.

On the morning of the nineteenth day in the jungle, they encountered the magical beasts of the Dream Forest for the first time

Throughout the journey, Bertina and Jerry expressed great dissatisfaction with their travel attire. Their original luggage had already been entrusted to the innkeeper for safekeeping. However, Jerry was quite interested in the hunting bow that Kate had originally carried, which had been forcibly taken. Observing Kate's reluctant demeanor, Enrico felt quite regretful, realizing that he should have purchased several more.

I am so scared! We still need to ask her to give us the trial scores!" Bertina reminded

Kate and Enleiko exchanged glances, sharing their perspectives

Dear Master Chris, may I respectfully address you as my teacher? My feelings of respect for you flow like the endless river, and your magic of 'Tyrport' fills me with infinite longing. With my limited abilities, I fear I may never learn even one ten-thousandth of it in my lifetime. Therefore, could your benevolence allow me to experience it, so that I may have a beautiful memory in my life, having once been fortunate enough to witness 'Tyrport'? I wish to cherish this beautiful memory for ten thousand years. Jerry displayed the endless flattery inherited from his merchant father. I wish to cherish this beautiful memory for ten thousand years. Jerry displayed the endless flattery inherited from his merchant father.

Our destination is the laboratory of the sorceress Chris in the Dreamy Magic Forest Kate replied

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." Amidst a chorus of surprised and delighted responses, Enleike was unaware that he had already fallen into the second trap of his life

However, the insidious witch surprisingly has moments of compassion. Chris actually teaches the poor female trialist how to skillfully manipulate water magic to cleanse items. The specific method involves wrapping the item to be cleaned in clear water, then controlling the water flow to spin continuously while constantly changing the angle of rotation.

After spending a day and a night, they finally emerged from the jungle, exhausted. Along the way, this group had reached an agreement that all equipment arrangements would be at the discretion of Enleike. No one was permitted to voice any objections.

Listening to the sharp sound of the wind and the crackling noise of trees breaking, I occasionally see the massive trees, with their thick trunks, being lifted like a leaf and then swiftly carried away by the enormous hurricane behind me

Indeed! You can even distinguish whether it was made by Enleike or Bertina. Jerry actually exposed someone else's sore spot

Although Chris spoke in an extremely gentle tone, the spark of fire flashing from her eyes and the electric sparks escaping from her fingers made it clear to everyone that Chris was about to explode with anger

However, there is a complete set of kitchenware placed here. Yet, merely having kitchenware on display makes this hall still feel too spacious

In addition to this mountain pick, Enlaike also selected three throwing darts, five thin-bladed knives, and a small iron chain approximately three meters long and the thickness of a finger

We have no issues, as long as you safely take us into the Dreamy Enchanted Forest. Bertina straightforwardly piled the responsibilities that were originally to be shared by the four of us all onto Enleiko.

Understood, there must be metallic objects in that place. By the way, when dealing with opponents who use lightning magic, it's best to first insert a small knife or something into the ground.

"Not bad, not bad, the cooked food is still delicious!" The head in the middle of the giant wolf kept praising while eating.

This material is rare and cannot be sought after; I never expected it to come to me so readily. If I do not make full use of it, it would truly be a disservice to myself

Enleike originally wanted to see his companions, but turning his head was quite a difficult task for him at that moment

High-intensity electric shocks seem to not only paralyze their muscle nerves but also simultaneously paralyze their digestive organs

Bertina skillfully turned the roasted quail over the fire, with fat dripping gradually onto the flames, transforming into waves of rich, fragrant blue smoke

After a meeting among the four individuals and the wolf (the giant wolf was adamant about joining), the group decided to set off together

Indeed, from time to time, spinosaurus would rush out from the gap, but after breaking through the opening, they would be enveloped by a cloud of mist, and there would be no further movement.

A few faint sounds came through, and Enleike knew that another companion had awakened

The forest has been completely burned, and the figure of the old wolf is exposed, making the target of the attack very obvious. However, due to Chris's continuous jumping, the old wolf is unable to attack her at all

Then, what about me? Clearly, Bertina has lost interest in Chris's magic after this electric shock, but she is worried that she does not have as much money as Jerry

This room, as large as a square, contains nothing but them

The unfortunate candidate for the white mouse has been determined

The synchronized training of magic and martial arts involves maintaining a certain meditative state mentally during the process of attack

Upon entering the village, the group first sought out an inn. After inquiring with the innkeeper about the general situation of the village, Bertina and Jerry went upstairs to rest. Kate and Enleiko were responsible for procuring equipment and supplies

Indeed, a highly skilled magician can master one or two auxiliary elemental magics in addition to their inherent attributes

The power of magic can be combined with one another, just as magic and martial arts can. Do you want to try a new magical offensive approach?" Chris employed the standard seductive tactics commonly used by witches.

At dinner, everyone gathered around the campfire

"I apologize, could you please prepare breakfast for my two companions?" Kate said apologetically

The three-headed demon wolf is a natural user of the four elemental magics, a fact that Kate's teacher had informed them of long before their departure

"It has nothing to do with me; Victor is merely Enleike's teacher." Jerry, true to his nature as a shrewd businessman, has an impeccable sense for the timing of betraying friends

The journey during the first three days was not difficult to traverse

But does that old wolf understand? Bertina shouted at Jerry

Upon entering the Dreamy Enchanted Forest, Enleike realized that their team was indeed ill-suited for traveling in the deep mountains

With an extremely sharp sound, there was no sight of Chris reciting any incantation

After a long time, Kate's weak response finally came through

My teacher is the sorcerer Naga, and you all should have heard of him. As for that teaching assistant, he is an extremely disgusting fellow. Chris displayed an expression of extreme disgust

When he first uttered this sentence, his father had just earned the first ten million gold coins of his life. And by the time his father said this to him, the father's wealth had already reached one billion.

Therefore, watching Chris carefully leaf through the black-covered magic book, the simple-minded descendant of knights was truly excited to have the fortune of experiencing the ancient training mode

This is the kitchen. Chris did not look back and then turned to walk out.

The four individuals turned around upon hearing the sound, and were so startled that their legs went weak

"Oh my! This foul woman's temper is exceptionally bad," Jerry sighed

"Teacher Chris, I have never understood how you perform magic, as I have never seen you recite any spells!" Kate asked directly.

Only the wizard above, dressed in an exquisite and luxurious pink lace dress, can be seen clearly from the positions of the four trial participants, revealing a pair of white silk shorts underneath the dress

Each day, they can only walk a little over ten miles. To maintain their pace, Kate and Bertina have consolidated their luggage onto Enleko.

It is evident that the strength of that apprentice magician, Chris, is astonishingly beyond what one would expect from someone raised by their parents

Completely unknown, that book of magic contains records of training barbarian warriors from a magical kingdom that was destroyed a thousand years ago

After breakfast, the boss attentively provided a detailed report on the questions raised by Enleike the previous night

A giant wolf, over 2 meters tall and possessing three heads, sat steadily behind them

"Who is in charge?" Chris asked

It is unclear how much time has passed, but the sound of the wind has subsided.

This magician appears to be only four or five years older than Kate

At the same time, Enleike also reacted. He pulled the still dazed Jerry and the limp Bertina, who was beside the fire, and retreated backward.

It is almost impossible for people to associate the elegantly poised yet somewhat innocent beauty before them with the formidable and terrifying witch of great power

Because Jerry always remembered what his businessman father told him about the secret to success in the marketplace: "To succeed is quite simple; just hand over all the problems to the experts, and your only task is to humbly accept their advice"

However, when Chris similarly retaliated with a high-level four-element magic, everyone was taken aback

Fortunately, the arduous journey of these past few days has honed their agile skills. They swiftly maneuver through the dense forest and swirling dust, sometimes avoiding fallen giant trees and at other times dodging incoming bullets.

The four trial participants had never witnessed such a terrifying magical spectacle. One by one, they leaned against the massive rocks, seeking refuge in the sheltered areas.

The expression of disappointment on Jerry's face was unmistakable

Strength is the origin of all attacks; the enhancement of speed and the application of technique both require the assurance of strength. Speed is the direct manifestation of all attacks, encompassing both the speed of the attack and the speed of response, reflecting strength and demonstrating technique. Technique is the ultimate essence of all attacks, involving the skill in grasping strength, the timing in launching and defending, the ability to adapt moves, and the understanding of both oneself and the opponent. Kate spoke at length.

If it were not for the fact that the old wolf has three heads, visible from all directions, it is feared that the old wolf would have long since been defeated. However, the old wolf's situation is equally dire now

Ah! I just happen to have something for you to do. It seems that Chris has already made a decision regarding Bettina's testing project

Moreover, Enleike, have you noticed that the great sorceress Chris gathers magical power at an astonishing speed, with almost no pause in her spellcasting

This sentence reassured the four young trial participants considerably

Victor! As soon as Chris's words fell, a series of laughter erupted, and soup and food flew everywhere.

It is undeniable that Bertina acquired the methods for the production and use of holy water during her journey in the Forest of the Gods. The discovery of holy water holds great significance, as the miracles it incites transformed religion from an elite practice into a widespread faith. The rapid proliferation of theism can be directly attributed to the influence of holy water; however, it is perplexing that the initial rise and swift spread of theism did not occur in the Sophien Kingdom, but rather in the adversarial Kaoki Kingdom

After resting for a while, Enleike gathered the other three individuals together. He took out three maps from his pocket and handed one to each person

Do not be misled by how difficult it is for them to get out of bed. When it comes to waking others up, they are quite unambiguous.

Acting on impulse, after all, Enlaike's family runs a grocery store, which is somewhat related to "commerce." Therefore, he is never behind when it comes to flattery. However, he still possesses some humanity, as he does not forget to bring Kate and Bertina along. After all, one cannot expect Kate, who comes from a knightly family, and Bertina, who hails from a priestly family, to have the potential of a "shrewd merchant"!

Those medications were of no help to Enleco's issues; on the contrary, they often left Enleco in a state of confusion. As a result, Enleco began to doubt Chris's sincerity

It seems that the days spent with Chris, the apprentice magician, will undoubtedly become even more difficult.

Reflecting on this arduous journey, Enleike could not help but laugh, as he never expected to find the destination so easily. It is uncertain whether this is a stroke of luck or a source of sorrow

"Oh? You are awake?" Chris had actually seen them long ago

"This, this, Master Chris, I truly wish to learn magic. I am willing to pay any price for your guidance," Kate said anxiously, completely unaware that she had stepped into a trap

At this moment, Kate felt as if she were facing a master swordsman, with every part of her body appearing to be full of flaws in his eyes

"This is the laundry I need you to wash. I haven't had time to do it myself. Please take care of it." Chris said casually as she walked out the door, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground behind her

Enleike surveyed the surroundings and realized they were in a vast room. Both the length and width exceeded at least 50 meters, and the height surpassed 10 meters. The walls were constructed of blue granite.

It is better this way. Although it is my greatest regret that I am not fortunate enough to learn such profound magic, I have nonetheless been personally bestowed this great magic by a magnificent magician, which makes my life worthwhile. Therefore, I do not dare to hope that the great magician would waste precious time teaching a foolish person like me. I only seek to obtain the approval of the great Magician Chris for my trial at a price that my pitiful self can afford.

I carefully analyzed this map last night. Enleike pointed at the map and said: "The southeastern edge of the map is marked in the most detail, as it is closest to the village, so there should not be too much error. As we move further northwest, the markings on the map become increasingly vague, and we cannot rely too heavily on these markings. However, there is a clear indication on the map that a river flows through the forest all the way to the depths of the Dream Magic Forest. We can follow the river, which will also alleviate concerns about water sources. Do you all think this is feasible?"

Chris continued, "Therefore, rather than striving to maximize a single power, it is more effective to focus on the efficient allocation of a slightly lesser power, as the latter approach offers greater flexibility. I believe the same can be said for swordsmanship duels!"

So is it possible for me to do that? Kate has always been most interested in any methods that can enhance strength

Enleike listened to this long flattery and formed a general impression of Jerry's father in his mind: a cunning businessman

The first to react was Bertina, who asked: "Who is your teacher? And who is that great teaching assistant?"

Thus, after the two of them made a round, they not only acquired the necessary equipment and supplies, but also unexpectedly purchased a simple topographic map of the Dreamy Magic Forest from a fur trader.

Upon hearing this, the four trial participants were momentarily rendered speechless

First, let us discuss personal equipment. Kate insists on carrying his two-handed greatsword, citing self-defense as the reason. Enleiko once suggested purchasing a spear to replace the cumbersome greatsword, but Kate firmly disagreed.

Her long, golden-red hair was styled into two pointed buns resembling ram's horns. A ruby necklace adorned her high forehead

Indeed, a sharp and piercing laughter cut through the vast sky

Jerry unexpectedly developed a strong interest in the giant wolf

"Great Mage Naga, I have learned that the assistant is Montita's Great Mage Cecilia." Kate, being of noble birth, has a much clearer understanding of interpersonal relationships than the average person

With the assistance of the only useful ears at present, Enleike roughly determined that all four companions were nearby. From the steady sound of their breathing, Enleike could be certain that they were all fine and had not yet awakened

After opening a small window on the door, one can see another identical room containing the spinosaurus captured last night

Long after Bertina became a saint of the cult, she still vividly remembered this period of suffering, though she had never shared it with anyone

Enleike had actually suspected since earlier that the person Chris mentioned might be his own teacher

I have gained an unlimited request! Chris secretly rejoiced in her heart

However, the mere thought of Chris's magical powers filled Enleiko with immense excitement

Returning to the room, Kate suddenly posed a question to Enleike that had long piqued her curiosity: "Did you not say that this is your first time leaving home for an extended trip? Why do you seem like a seasoned traveler who has been wandering for years?"

Of course, if one does not split their mental energy, how can one maintain four different states of meditation, unless you have three heads like that demon wolf

Among the three trial participants, the most unfortunate is Enleike, whose training is exceedingly simple—taking medicine, consuming various inexplicable drugs

"So you can cast spells continuously, based on the same principle, right?" Enleike quickly diverted the topic away from the discussion of mental power splitting, fearing that if they continued, it would lead to a mention of schizophrenia.

Thus, during the subsequent days of the journey, although they never encountered the forest dwellers again, addressing the issue of food was not particularly difficult. If it had not been for Enleike's insistence, Bertina and Jerry would have already discarded their provisions.

Jerry did not add any burden; on the contrary, he felt more at ease, as all the hunting tasks were now handled by the old wolf. Only Bertina suffered, so Enleko also lent a hand.

Different types of magic are suited to different kinds of wizards; conversely, different types of magic can also influence the personality tendencies of the wizards.

The sharp sound waves pierced through the forest, akin to pebbles striking the water, creating ripples that spread throughout the woods. The enormous treetops resembled surging waves that could not settle for a long time, while the sky was thick with dark clouds swirling into concentric vortices

Generally speaking, the greatest challenge during the trial process is reaching the destination of the trial. For instance, this arduous journey through the Dreamy Magic Forest and the unpredictable appearance of Kaichin Island at any time and place.

Dear Wizard Chris, regarding the study I previously mentioned ... ... Jerry said

Thank heaven and earth, it has finally come to an end said Bertina, feeling relieved

A woman dressed in splendid attire emerged from the black sphere

If there is anything that can be used to describe this strange laboratory before my eyes, it would be most aptly characterized as a giant castle

In a state of confusion, suddenly everyone felt the earth shaking, and the distant sound of a pack of beasts roaring could be heard

There are two reasons. First, with such powerful strength as a backing, one's own wishes should be achievable. Moreover, I was initially concerned that even if there were magicians in the world capable of solving my problems, they might not be willing to help me. This is because magicians who have reached the extraordinary level are among the most prominent figures in their respective countries, and there is hardly anything that could move them. Furthermore, each of them is dedicated to the study of profound magic and would never concern themselves with my trivial issues. This is because magicians who have reached the extraordinary level are among the most prominent figures in their respective countries, and there is hardly anything that could move them. Furthermore, each of them is dedicated to the study of profound magic and would never concern themselves with my trivial issues

Suddenly, a column of extremely cold water mixed with large chunks of ice poured down on the heads of the four trial participants. The hard ice blocks struck the four individuals, leaving them with swollen heads.

They, those foolish fellows, have no idea what gourmet food is! The old wolf cast a glance at Jerry

"What great luck, there is delicious food early in the morning." Enlaikeda.

That night, due to the events that occurred during dinner, everyone found it difficult to fall asleep for a long time

"Last night, I copied it according to the original image," Enleike replied. "I am afraid it would be troublesome if I lost it."

To simultaneously engage in both types of meditation and apply the assistance of ritual tools

Oh my! A wolf that knows military strategy? All four of them thought simultaneously

His primary responsibility is to maintain the stability of the frequency and intensity of the electric shocks. One can imagine the effectiveness of the training just by observing that Jerry, who originally had a poor appetite every three to five days, has now reached a point where he can only eat a little bit each day

As the two conversed, the night grew late

As for you, I am quite interested in your question. However, you must be mentally prepared! Experiments can be dangerous, you know." Chris turned her head to Enleiko.

Originally, everyone thought that Chris was only proficient in lightning magic, and at most, she was also skilled in wind magic. This was because, from beginning to end, they had only seen her use lightning magic. However, when she engaged with the old wolf, she immediately unleashed a series of explosive fireballs and blood-freezing guns, while occasionally employing earth-type area attack magic—quicksand technique—to hinder the old wolf's movements

As soon as the door was opened, a strong sour and foul odor rushed to the nose

How can my attack be so easily ignored? The descendants of the glorious knights have fallen into the greatest crisis of their lives

"So, your voice has changed like this because..." Bertina said

Yes, my father once warned me that when facing a formidable opponent, it is more effective to use a combination technique that balances offense and defense rather than relying solely on a powerful finishing move

"Do not be afraid, this fellow's voice is just like that; it is not magic," explained Old Wolf

"It smells so good," Kate exclaimed

Suddenly, a bright flash streaked across, and the massive rock collapsed with a thunderous roar

Because the shock from this duel was too intense for them. They had too many questions they wanted to exchange with each other

"Then how do you use the four elemental magics simultaneously?" Kate further inquired

Thus, Kate willingly and tirelessly embraced training methods that were akin to self-destruction

Kate and Enleiko were exhausted from dragging each other along while fleeing, panting heavily and momentarily unable to think of the issue. Now, reminded by Bertina, they couldn't help but exchange glances, feeling as if their heads were about to burst.

"I am not using them simultaneously; it's just that my magic switching speed is quite fast," Chris replied

Every year, many people come to this small village. Most of them are merchants who arrive in spring and autumn to purchase furs and valuable medicinal herbs, as well as hunters who enter the Dreamy Magic Forest to hunt or capture rare beasts for trade. As a result, the village has ample supplies

However, they tried to avoid mentioning the lady of the house during their conversation, after all, in uncertain circumstances, it is a foolish and dangerous thing to speak ill of a witch in a castle where she could easily lose her temper

Kate and Enleiko quickly each grabbed Jerry and Bertina and made their escape

Regarding this issue, Chris explained that maintaining a meditative state while in an electric shock condition for one day is equivalent to practicing continuously for three months under normal circumstances

Hehehe, hehehe, my magic is undoubtedly unparalleled in the world. For me, there is nothing impossible. Although you are both foolish and clumsy, as long as I am willing to teach, you will definitely be able to learn 'Taylport'. Hehehe, because I am a genius. " Chris was immersed in her own self-satisfaction

Neither the old wolf nor the trace of Chris can be seen

After a day and night of adjustment, the four trial participants were finally able to struggle to their feet

Uncertain how much time had passed, Enlaike gradually regained consciousness. The electric shock caused intense muscle spasms, resulting in soreness throughout his body. He initially wanted to struggle to get up, but the waves of numbness from his nerve endings informed him that it was best to lie still and not move.

Chris surprisingly still respects business ethics, allowing Jerry to negotiate, which astonished everyone, including Jerry

It seems that the tall one has considerable potential, being a disciple of Kaolun, I might as well give him some face and use him for magical experiments. This foolish boy appears to be easily manipulated; it wouldn't hurt to toy with him a bit, making him anxious to seek my help. Perhaps I could even gain unexpected benefits from it. As for the short one, he is completely unsuitable for practicing magic. I wonder which fool selected him; it is truly outrageous. However, his physique is quite impressive, and he can certainly withstand some trials. Alright, it's decided; using him as experimental material would be a good idea.

Subsequently, Chris readily transformed the training into meditation, meditating while enduring electric shocks

Be more specific," Chris instructed

The expressions of the four young people changed dramatically, as they were all too familiar with the laughter that had been echoing since just now, reminiscent of the alarm sound before Chris's rampage

Hearing the monster in front of him actually praise humans, Enleike felt relieved

It turned out that Bertina and Jerry, these two lazybones, overslept and skipped dinner last night. They woke up hungry in the middle of the night, secretly got up, and devoured all the provisions. After that, they reluctantly slept for a while longer. When dawn broke, they were truly unable to bear their hunger any longer, so they resolutely woke Enleiko and Kate, demanding that the two of them find a way to solve the problem of having a meal

In the forest below, approximately two hectares in size, a dozen peculiar beasts, covered in sharp spines on their backs and with tails longer than their bodies, stood on two legs and ran, surrounded by several clusters of electric light

After having lunch, which was, of course, prepared by Bertina, the poor Bertina was immediately awakened by the witch's icy water attack. Much later, Enleiko and the others would learn that Chris only knew this basic water magic mixed with ice, and when the four young people later became proficient in water magic, they also ended up using this same icy water attack.

Enleco and Kate wanted to ask Chris several times about the numerous questions that the magical war had brought them

My laboratory is located seventy li to the northwest, approximately five or six days' journey away

"Who has awakened?" Enleike asked

"It seems to be over?" Kate leaned out to look.

The raging fire has engulfed vast areas of the forest, with flames illuminating the pitch-black night sky, and sparks connecting with the starlight above. Shattered wood and flying stones strike the surrounding trees, causing branches to break and leaves to scatter

However, even a master like the Archmage Kaulens cannot simultaneously wield advanced magic of the four elemental types. This is because adjusting the meditation techniques is quite time-consuming. Moreover, there has been no record of any magician in the world being able to achieve this.

After hearing the requests from Kate and Enleiko, Chris has already analyzed and studied the two trial participants repeatedly several times

Indeed, this trip has been quite arduous. If it weren't for this good fortune, I fear I would have given up long ago. Jerry is speaking the truth.

Wow, an old pervert! This is Jerry's opinion

They are far stronger than you. Xin Luo'an is a powerful warrior, Lucia is an outstanding priestess, and Tikeloni is the best archer I have ever seen said the old wolf

The second reason is that it resolved another long-standing doubt of his: what can one achieve by learning magic? After witnessing the magical duel between Lao Lang and Chris, Enlaike was profoundly shocked; it was a power capable of changing the very heavens and the earth

"There are four types, which are four kinds of magic," the giant wolf corrected.

The old wolf had already leaped onto a nearby giant rock.

After listening to Chris's description, Bertina's face had already turned bright red, while Kate was left dumbfounded, unable to believe that such a person actually existed. Enleiko, on the other hand, had a sense of foreboding.

However, now they have witnessed it with their own eyes

"You may leave, but that little girl stays behind." The giant wolf's tone was reminiscent of a mountain bandit

"There is a chant!" Chris replied, raising her right hand as usual. With a sharp cry, a fireball leapt forth.

What is this place that everyone is pondering? Such a vast room, what purpose does it serve? To call it a room is an understatement; it is simply too large. If it is to be considered a training ground, it still seems excessively spacious. Such a large area could even be used for horse racing.

"One must gain at the cost of losing something." This was the first time that Chris displayed a heavy expression since I came to know her

The two individuals returned to the hotel fully loaded. Bertina and Jerry were already asleep.

The intention behind this flattery is quite evident, and anyone can discern that Jerry is trying to take advantage of the situation

After the lightning dimmed, a shadow was seen floating in mid-air. Although the light was too weak to see clearly, it was vaguely possible to sense that the figure had a human shape

Wow! Jerry, you truly spoke to our hearts. In fact, long before the great wizard Chris defeated that old wolf without any chance of retaliation, we had already thought how great an honor it would be to become a disciple of such a powerful wizard.

Finally, one day, Kate could no longer contain herself and brought it up to the wizard Chris during dinner.

"Your name is Kate, isn't it? I am unsure whether you are suited to my training methods, nor do I know the extent of your magical abilities. For the sake of Kaelun, do not make things difficult for yourself; I will allow you to pass this time." Chris said, employing a strategy of feigned indifference.

A voice emerged, sharp and increasingly high-pitched

Hehe, I said! The space is once again filled with the piercing laughter of books

Enleike, I just remembered that there is definitely a way to teach you how to use magic, hehe—hehe—. The sharp laughter pierced through the space, and from the sound of the laughter, it was clear that Chris was truly very pleased

As they watched the two of them engaging in lively conversation, Kate and Enleiko exchanged a glance.

This is akin to how Chris simultaneously utilizes four types of elemental magic, becoming a bottleneck in the use of power

Jerry happened to be able to use the Floating Technique and the Wind Wing Technique. Therefore, the task of searching for the campsite was naturally assigned to him, and of course, his luggage was logically carried by Enleiko

However, that advanced technique is still not reliably usable by Bertina. It is a magic that has been improved from a light-based spell exclusively used by the priests of Klish, which can enhance the activity of water and possesses a strong ability to wash and remove stains

The giant wolf slowly approached the campfire, picked up the food that had fallen to the ground, and savored it with great delight

Enleco now truly misses the previous training methods, while the only available Jerry has been assigned to oversee Enleco during the training process

"What do you want to do with me?" Bertina asked, her voice trembling

In the forest, countless shadows of colossal beasts can be seen swaying back and forth. The enormous trees, whether broken by the collision of these giants or struck down by the rolling, magical lightning, are all toppling over, raising billowing clouds of dust.

The old wolf pressed its head against Jerry's, its enormous eyes glaring at Jerry, making him feel a chill all over: "Although I am full, I wouldn't mind having a little dessert after the meal"

The helpless Enleike and Kate were escorted by the urban babies downstairs to knock on the boss's door. When the door opened, the boss, still groggy and holding a pillow, yawned repeatedly and asked in confusion, "So early, what can I do for you?"

This old wolf, surprisingly, can even make jokes, Bertina couldn't help but think

Enleco also purchased a set of convenient travel kits for each person. The craftsmanship and design of the travel kits here are quite impressive. Enleco is even considering that once he returns home, he must ask his father to come here to procure some goods in the future

Chris silently confirmed the arrangements for the two individuals in her heart, while the poor Enleiko and Kate had no idea that from this moment on, they, along with the dozens of spinosaurus in the cage, had become kindred spirits in misfortune

Moreover, under extremely urgent circumstances, Bertina is always able to minimize damage with her weak yet somewhat effective "Crystal Wall of Water" magical barrier

It seems that the old wolf is also aware of this. It stands still, using its three heads to gaze in different directions, blocking the fireballs, ice spears, and lightning coming from all sides one by one

The sorceress Chris, leaning back in her chair, fixed her gaze intently on the two trial participants before her

Indeed, I see it that way as well; that old wolf is not so easily manipulated

"Then, may I ask what kind of people were the humans who traveled with you in the past?" Enleike pressed Kate, who was about to take action. It was evidently best to divert the old wolf's attention to other matters; this was the correct approach

Moreover, each magician has their own specialized method of magical attack. For instance, magicians who excel in water magic often have a poor understanding of fire magic. This is because the four elemental magics are often diametrically opposed to one another. Fire magic emphasizes strength and aggression; water magic emphasizes subtlety and gentleness; wind magic is characterized by vitality and energy; and earth magic is known for its solidity and stability.

The four individuals stared in astonishment at the powerful magician before them, the stark contrast between her formidable magic and her age being the most shocking reason.

Mental breakdown! Kate's face suddenly turned green

Bertina cautiously asked, "Mr. Wolf, you wouldn't want to eat us, would you?"

The other three individuals sat around the campfire, waiting for their breakfast

A tremendous roar rose and fell, the earth trembled incessantly, and the air was filled with a scorched odor

After the meal, the unfortunate Bertina is responsible for washing the dishes

She had wanted to conduct experiments in this area for a long time, but suitable subjects were very hard to find. Firstly, the subjects must possess a solid foundation in martial arts, and Chris herself did not have the ability to teach martial arts. Additionally, they must have good magical potential

However, the sorceress Chris is evidently different; as long as one can flatter her to her satisfaction, she is very likely to offer assistance

In the laboratory, dozens of rooms resembling their own were distributed around a giant circular square. In the center of the square, there were several rows of long tables, where the great magician Chris was seated at the central table.

Nothing can evoke the fervent emotions of a person as pure as Kate more than a cause that approaches the sacred, to the extent that Kate has never been able to escape this fervent pursuit throughout her life

This, I am merely a trial participant, with nothing to my name! Jerry felt secretly pleased

"Monster?!" Kate exclaimed, raising the spear in her hand and sweeping it towards the giant wolf

"Is it diced, or cubed, braised, or grilled?" The four individuals could not help but frequently speculate about the fate that awaited them.

During the meal, Old Wolf surprisingly picked out everything made by Enlaike, throwing it to others, while only eating what Bertina had prepared

Early the next morning, Enleike and Kate were pulled out of bed by Bertina and Jerry

The religious canon undeniably possesses numerous subjective interpretations, and later rigorous historians have recorded: "The two great figures who completed the religious unification and established the new ecclesiastical system, Bertina and Enleco, along with Kate and Jerry, who made significant contributions during the establishment of the new ecclesiastical system, first became acquainted during the journey through the Forest of the Divine. The reasons for this are quite controversial"

For an entire day, neither of the two felt any hunger

In reality, it was merely a very brief period of time, yet for Enlaike, it seemed as though a century had passed.

This time, it was Jerry's turn to feel proud. He had been studying wind magic under the great wizard Pilte, which included various spells that allowed one to fly in the air.

However, when Kate tried the same method, she found that she could hardly use magic; it turned out that maintaining a meditative state under electric shock caused the mental energy to become evenly dispersed rather than concentrated

"Five hundred years ago? So it turns out they were cultivating your appetite for it," Bertina said

Amid the warm greetings of the proprietor, a group of individuals departed from the inn, each carrying their own luggage. Before leaving, Enlaike requested two packets of condiments and a bag of flour from the owner, and also replenished their provisions of dry food and drinking water.

A series of lightning strikes pierced through Enleike's every nerve, with intense pain and a powerful sense of paralysis drilling into him. If he could faint at this moment, it would be an incredibly fortunate thing.

Suddenly, a crackling sound erupted, and a flash of lightning illuminated the scene. A ball of lightning appeared out of thin air above the heads of the crowd

Before he could finish speaking, Chris interrupted him: "If you can afford the cost, I might consider teaching you 'Tyrport'."

In a modest household with some savings, is it possible to..." Jerry pinched his thumb, index, and middle fingers together and twisted them a couple of times

"Hello, Old Wolf, do all the magic wolves like cooked food?" Jerry couldn't help but ask a question he had always wanted to know.

Due to having three independently functioning heads, the three-headed demon wolf is capable of simultaneously utilizing three different types of magic. The demon wolf itself is classified as a mid-tier earth-type magical creature, and thus its four claws are referred to as "Tear of the Earth," possessing formidable earth-type attack power. Therefore, when the old wolf simultaneously employs four types of magic, no one finds it surprising

Upon seeing Kate's grades, Jerry was truly captivated; however, for someone like Jerry, mere fascination is a far cry from taking action.

Hearing such laughter, Jerry felt a wave of relief; there was a way out

"Yes, yes..." Jerry nodded repeatedly

The battles between wizards are inherently quite spectacular, yet the intensity has always been low, akin to two burly men exchanging punches and kicks while standing, merely competing in strength, speed of strikes, and endurance

Thus, later generations documented this experience based on speculation and recorded it in another form to be passed down in this world

After Bertina and Jerry finally managed to fill their stomachs, Enrico and Kate also seemed to regain their spirits

If we are to speak of who has gained the most, it is actually not Kate; in fact, there is another person. Do not assume it is Enleiko, for he is currently in the most miserable state. First, he was driven to madness by the strange potions given to him by Chris, and now he is subjected to electric shocks all day long.

"Hehe, get ready, we are about to set off." Clearly, Enleike's flattery was also quite effective on Chris

Rest assured, I will not have any improper thoughts about you said the giant wolf

Indeed, although the old wolf is a highly intelligent and enchanting creature, he is equally susceptible to this.

Inside is a room that is exactly the same as the one they originally had

Enleike prays that Jerry may receive leniency from Chris

Relatively speaking, apart from that sword which is quite conspicuous, Kate's other luggage is rather appropriate. Bertina's spare clothing (three sets of underwear, three long garments, three dresses, one formal dress, and one bathrobe) appears to be excessively cumbersome

Magic resistance training is designed to quickly approach the level of a magician, thus maintaining a defense and reduction of magical damage with minimal mental energy. Its characteristics include speed, flexibility, and a low requirement for the level of magic. The principle is—if you can escape, then escape; if you cannot escape, then evade; if you cannot evade, then endure.

Jerry certainly had no objections, for from the moment he obtained that hunting bow and inquired with Kate about its source, he resolved to persuade others, including Bertina, to adopt Enleiko's views at all costs

To not only speak of obtaining such power, but even the pursuit of this power itself is exhilarating

A showdown between two super monsters.

What happened? Everyone hurriedly emerged from the tent

At this moment, seeing Chris speak in such a manner struck a chord, almost causing her to reveal her delight.

Kate originally retained traces of knightly education, making it quite difficult for him to bow to things that conflicted with his philosophy of life. After spending several days in the company of the old wolf and experiencing that earth-shattering duel, he finally understood the true meaning of the knightly maxim his father often repeated: "The adherence to beliefs is unconditional; the adherence to actions is guaranteed by strong power"

Thus, when a group of people arrived at a relatively safe location, they were, apart from being covered in bruises, otherwise intact.

As the lights began to glow in the evening, during dinner time, Bertina and Jerry, feeling excessively fatigued, resolutely refused to get out of bed. Enrico and Kate had no choice but to go to dinner by themselves.

"You and the books are truly great magicians, capable of inventing such unique magical concepts," Kate exclaimed

After Bertina was carried back to her original room, Jerry stayed behind to look after her

"Very good, very good," Chris said. "As long as it involves a duel, the fundamental principles are the same, whether it is martial arts or magic. However, the improvement of speed and technique is often overlooked by most magicians. The duels between magicians have become a contest of strength, which you should be well aware of. But, having witnessed my duel with that magical wolf, you should understand the significant role that speed and technique can play."

Upon hearing this statement, Bertina was so delighted that she jumped up.

I agree," Kate replied

As long as those extraordinary beasts attempt to break through the encirclement, the several clusters of electric light will converge into a large electric net, driving the extraordinary beasts back.

Bertina's journey of suffering began from this point, but soon she sought psychological solace. The tragic circumstances of Kate and Enleko were chilling.

"Haha, now that you've gained a bit of skill, you've become arrogant again, thinking you can capture an old man like me. That's impossible," the old wolf scoffed.

It seems that there is no danger for the time being Enleike analyzed the situation

Due to the fact that the only available Jerry often assists Chris in preparing and brewing medicine, if on that day he has a poor appetite and does not eat for an entire day, it would signify that Enleike is in for a major disaster the following day

During the ten days of electric shock training, Enleike cannot say that he gained nothing at all. It can be said that his mental strength has increased by dozens of times. In terms of mental strength alone, he can already reach the level of a high-ranking mage.

The wolf can actually speak?! Jerry, in his ignorance, remarked.

So it was you! Hehehe, I was just about to look for you. A series of sharp, high-pitched sounds pierced everyone's eardrums

Fool, the one who can speak is a high-ranking beast, and it is unfortunate, for it is a descendant of the ancient beast Vanir. The three heads indicate that it is at least three hundred years old. Such beasts are natural users of elemental magic, capable of wielding three different attributes of magic simultaneously.

You also need to prepare the feed for these test subjects

"All you need to do is cook for me for a month and help me with the laundry, and I will let you pass," declared the great sorceress Chris.

Kate sighed inwardly, certain that the teacher had never anticipated this outcome

After much effort, the four individuals reached the center of the pit.

Several individuals swiftly climbed up the giant rock, gazing into the distance

In the distance, flashes of lightning rolled, illuminating a vast expanse of forest with a bright clarity. Above the forest, there was a tiny spark of electricity, darting left and right, the nature of which was unknown.

After a while, Enleike finally came to his senses and pushed Kate.

Of course, the methods used by women and men among you humans to prepare food are entirely the same, yet the results are fundamentally different. This was the case five hundred years ago, and after five hundred years, there has been no progress whatsoever

However, a new problem soon arose: the trees in the jungle became increasingly dense, and the ground became more and more uneven, making it increasingly difficult to find an ideal campsite

"Follow me, I will take you to see the work you need to do," said the sorceress Chris as she stood up and led the way forward

If these magical concepts were invented by that teaching assistant, then he should, in any case, be able to become quite a famous magician, Kate said

Two people were chatting aimlessly, partly to alleviate their loneliness and partly because conversing is a form of rehabilitation that helps restore energy.

Enleike's feeling was even worse; it was as if he had returned to the old grocery store, facing a discerning customer in need of supplies. Unfortunately, he was no longer the salesperson but rather the goods themselves, and he could even see that Chris was selecting items while holding a list.

"Hehehe, if you want to pass, you should know that I am a strict person, and passing is not easy." Chris's sharp laughter echoed in this vast enclosed space, sounding particularly jarring

Wow! It's starting! Jerry exclaimed

If she were willing to run away," Enleike retorted, "given her personality, she might just want to test the power of the old wolf's magic.

She walked to the door of another room and stopped, but this time, she did not open the door

Seeing this situation, Chris also ceased her attack and, for the first time, steadied herself, hovering above the old wolf's head

Watching a large and a small pair of troublemakers haggling there, Enleike and Kate could only shake their heads and sigh

This notebook previously obtained records how ancient magic was combined with martial arts to train barbarian magic warriors. However, it is a method that completely strips the user's consciousness, turning them into a combat machine. Its utility is likely limited, and the special meditation techniques and unique mental training methods she invented have not been tested, leaving their feasibility uncertain

Chris only told Kate that she would train her according to the methods recorded in an ancient magic book

Struggling to reach the door, they opened the massive entrance. The trial participants were stunned by the scene before them

At this moment, Enleiko and Kate, in poor spirits, lay on the dining table, continuing to drift into their dreams, completely ignoring Bertina and Jerry's complaints about the cooking speed

"Not necessarily. If you can't win, you can always evade. That spell called Teleportation is extremely convenient for escaping," said Bertina.

However, to be able to use all four types of elemental magic, one must at least reach the high rank stage among grand magicians

In the village blacksmith's shop, Enleike casually picked up four long spears and two machetes. Although he had brought a folding machete that his father had prepared for him, after seeing those two machetes, he still decided to purchase them

Enleco took out the map for study. Meanwhile, Kate was eagerly fiddling with the hunting bow beside him

Of course, all it takes is a minor surgery to split your mental energy, if you wish to give it a try," Chris said

What are these little brats up to?" a sharp voice continued

The crowd was taken aback, and upon looking up, they saw a black spherical object suspended in the sky. Slowly, an arm extended from the sphere, followed by the emergence of a head.

If ordinary humans get involved, they will suffer a terrible fate

That seems to be a high-level electric attribute magic—Lightning Barrier, but it also appears somewhat different. Jerry said, after all, electric attribute magic belonging to the wind system is not something that every wind mage can easily cast

However, Enleike could no longer hear, as he had already fainted at the first moment

Everyone is filled with trepidation

However, this proposal was met with indifference from everyone except Kate, who gave it some consideration. Bertina was the first to refuse to give up her replacement clothing

Upon seeing Enleike admire his work, the blacksmith happily invited them to his workshop to select suitable tools. In the workshop, Enleike unexpectedly found several very well-fitting tools.

He has only now come to understand how Chris's "madness" was formed

Observing the four trial participants who were bent over coughing severely and the table of food that was clearly inedible, Chris was not angry about the early end to dinner

"These fellows from the Magic Association actually took it upon themselves to use my laboratory as a training base without even notifying me," that harsh voice said indignantly

An hour passed, yet the offensive and defensive maneuvers of the two individuals showed no signs of weakening. However, it was evident that the old wolf was already at a disadvantage

Therefore, the wizard Chris actively proposed to change the training. However, the terrified Enleiko, like a startled bird, refused to budge no matter what.

That morning, Bertina was busy preparing a pair of quails, and Jerry's hunting skills had truly become increasingly refined. Early in the morning, he took a stroll around and discovered that a nest of quails had already been caught in the traps he had set the night before. Two of them were used for breakfast

Have you noticed, "Bertina said: 'That encirclement has a blind spot!'"

"There is a small opening over there to the southwest, where the power of lightning cannot reach. I saw a monster escape from there," Bertina replied.

Therefore, electroshock meditation is not only unhelpful for Enleike's original issues, but it has even exacerbated the problems

Moreover, the Floating Technique and Wind Wing Technique are no longer exclusive to Jerry

Enleco and Kate mustered their courage and decided to confront the terrifying witch head-on

First, he mastered the low-level magic of the four elemental magics, and his original fire magic reached an advanced intermediate level. The other systems of magic he learned include: Water system defensive magic—Water Crystal Wall; Wind system defensive magic—Wind Guardian; Earth system magic invented by Chris—Earth Wall; Water system attack magic invented by Chris—Glacial Torrent (the type of magic that combines ice and water attacks); Wind system attack magic—Wind Blade Technique. Wind system defensive magic—Wind Guardian; Earth system magic invented by Chris—Earth Wall; Water system attack magic invented by Chris—Glacial Torrent (the type of magic that combines ice and water attacks); Wind system attack magic—Wind Blade Technique

He finally felt his body make contact with the ground, and as the magic dissipated, he was finally able to do what he had longed for most in his life; he fainted

"So, what is this guy's name?" Jerry asked

History sometimes plays tricks on people

Do you really think that with your newly mastered Thunder Magic—Tailport—you can defeat me?" The old wolf continued to mock.

As a large number of trees fell, the four individuals gradually began to see the situation below clearly

For this, the boss was immensely grateful and could be said to have spoken freely and exhaustively about the questions raised by Enlaike. For matters he was unaware of, he immediately noted them down and assured that by the next morning, both parties would certainly receive satisfactory answers

Then, trembling, he leaned against the rock and cautiously climbed up to take a look.

"Money?" Chris pondered with her chin resting on her hand and her head tilted, then nodded: "That is indeed convenient, a direct approach"

This morning, when he thought about how Chris had promised to teach him "Tai Er Bo Te," he felt a surge of anxiety. He had had enough of the hardships this time and was determined to find a way to decline Chris's kind offer.

Strangely, the sphere that emerged could at most accommodate only a little more than half of the woman's body. It is unclear how she managed to fit herself inside.

"Talbot, what kind of magic is this?" Kate asked Jerry.

Due to the proximity of the forest, there is an abundance of wild game and mountain delicacies, making this dinner quite delicious and sumptuous. The two individuals were very satisfied with this, and therefore generously rewarded the owner

After trudging along for a day and a night, Bertina and Jerry finally reached a compromise. They had endured enough hardship. The group had no choice but to turn back.

In a state of extreme mental confusion, Enleike actually dared to propose a change in training methods to Chris

No, what is it? Kate asked

"It's over, the trial mentor must be dead!" Jerry said dejectedly
