“I’m afraid the only hope is to head to Wizard City and seek out those Wizards proficient in Spiritual Energy for a chance of treatment,” Philip said, shaking his head with a sigh, and urged Lynn not to hold out too much hope.

Although the girl’s body was preserved in ice and seemed unchanged, more than half a month had passed, and her soul was feared to have already dissipated.

Hearing this, Lynn felt somewhat disappointed. He and Bai Ge did not have much of a connection, but she had used Soul Scream to help him defeat Anluoke, so he had always done his utmost to help treat her.

“Let’s preserve her in ice for now; I just so happen to know a master of Spiritual Energy studies who might be of some help… that is, if he happens to be free,” Helram suddenly chimed in.

Kevin, Philip, and the others looked at Helram with surprise. To summon a master of Spiritual Energy studies for a Wizard Apprentice who was likely already dead seemed like an overreaction.

Only Orlando showed a somewhat helpless look on his face; he knew it would turn out this way.

“I am extremely grateful to you, Master Helram!” Johnny bowed deeply, moved.

Lynn also expressed his thanks to the great Wizard with a hint of surprise.

Under Helram’s guidance, Bai Ge, who had been re-frozen, was moved to the medical room of the Iyeta Academy, and Lynn and Johnny were taken to their respective Professor and student accommodations.

…

“Professor Lynn, from now on this will be your residence!” Theodore said, leading Lynn into a room.

As Lynn entered, he looked around at his new surroundings. The room was spacious and not just a simple bedroom for resting; it also came equipped with a small alchemist’s bench and apparatus for grinding herbs. There were bookshelves, a bed, a desk, and chairs – by the standards of the time, it was quite luxurious!

This was how people were meant to live…

Lynn silently contemplated, comparing this to when he was fleeing the Church’s pursuit within the boundaries of the Sekas Empire, where he slept on straw mats and ate unsavory black bread, living practically like a refugee.

Indeed, braving the risks to head for Wizard Land had been an exceedingly correct decision.

“If there’s anything missing, you can put in a request with Master Helram…” Theodore added, “though it would be best if it’s related to teaching.”

“Alright, I’ll remember that and will ask if needed,” Lynn nodded, not going to pass up an opportunity for free goods.

“By the way, Mr. Theodore, can Sekas Empire currency still be used here?” Lynn continued to ask.

Theodore shook his head. “Of course not, but you can go to the currency exchange at the harbor and trade those Gold Coins for the local currency; the exchange rate is roughly two Sekas Gold Coins for one Magic Gold Coin…

Furthermore, as a professor of the academy, at the beginning of each month, you can receive three Magic Gold Coins as your base salary, along with a variable amount of research funds. The amount of funding depends on the number of students opting for your new courses.”

Theodore explained the professor’s salary, the currency exchange process, and the currency system of Wizard Land in brief. Seeing that Lynn had no further questions, he took his leave and departed.

The moment the door closed completely, the composure on Lynn’s face abruptly halted, and he sat down on a nearby chair, a faint expression of relief emerging on his face.

Lying in front of a great wizard, whose power far surpassed his own, it was of course impossible not to worry at all.

Any lie could potentially be exposed, and if the situation in the harbor town hadn’t blown up so drastically, Lynn would never have conceived this idea.

Fortunately, the outcome was just as he had predicted. The toughest hurdle was now behind him, and the situation turned out to be even better than he had expected. They faced no punishment; instead, they received a certain degree of preferential treatment.

So, the next most important thing was naturally to patch up the last flaw and become an official wizard!

Lynn’s index finger tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair as his mind buzzed with constant thought.

Just now, when Theodore was talking to him about the duties of a professor, he also detailed the methods by which the residents of the harbor city could enroll and subsequently advance.

Generally, at the beginning of each year, children in the harbor city who have turned twelve can have the opportunity to test their magic talent. If they pass successfully and pay a tuition fee, they would be taken in by the Iyeta Academy as honored Wizard Apprentices.

After several years of advanced studies, once the growth of their magic power comes to a standstill, they break through the final bottleneck by consuming a potion called “Magic Source.”

Of course, such a magic potion is not easy to obtain as it is distributed directly by the Wizard City.

According to the rules of Iyeta Academy, apprentices are required to complete one or two subjects and then obtain the recognition and recommendation of a professor from a related academy.

Lynn immediately saw through this as a ploy by the major academies, and even the Wizard Council, to monopolize the right of commoners to advance to wizardhood.

Of course, publicly, the reason given by the Wizard Council is very noble, which is to prevent apprentices with ill intentions from gaining more powerful magic.

Now that he had obtained the identity of a professor at the academy, in theory, he also had the qualifications to apply to the council for an advancement potion for a certain apprentice. However, doing so would mean he had to intercept a bottle of “Magic Source” privately, which not only required going through procedures but also ran the risk of being reported.

The second channel was to bypass the academy and the Wizard Council and obtain the magic potion through other means.

For example… buying it on the black market.

Where there is demand, there will always be trade; it’s just a matter of whether the price is right.

If the “Magic Source” is a magic potion, then there must be potion masters who know how to make it. If he could find a way to obtain the recipe for this potion and then make it himself, that would certainly be the safest course!

With this in mind, Lynn gathered his scattered thoughts and began his daily routine of meditation, the endless sea of elements once again appeared before him.

No matter what, before obtaining the advancement magic potion, he must strive to perfect the total amount of his magic and spiritual power.

The original soul, Carl, was just an ordinary Wizard Apprentice who had only been exposed to magic for about half a year.

Luckily, when he crossed over, the fusion of souls gave him a dramatic increase in spiritual power, and his capacity for magic power also soared. According to the theory of marginal growth of magic power in “Basic Magic Commons,” in about two to three more months, he would reach that bottleneck…

The money potentially needed to purchase “Magic Source,” intelligence about magic potions, time needed to increase magic power… These were the three elements hindering his ascent to becoming a full-fledged wizard!
