63: Chapter 63 The three separate, and the forging

The next day, Ross and his two companions got up and returned to the outskirts of Boulder Town.

Needless to say, as a noble and also as a lord.

This person in charge of Boulder Town, although his strength was not much to speak of, possessed the etiquette that ordinary people lacked.

Before Ross and his group arrived, this lord had been suffering terribly due to the bizarre incidents within his territory.

Therefore, at that time, the preparations for the arrival of Ross and his party were somewhat inadequate.

And after Ross and the others came out of the mine alive yesterday and said that the anomaly had been resolved.

Not only did this lord breathe a sigh of relief, but when entertaining Ross and the others for a banquet, he also sent his personal guards to investigate the mine.

And the news naturally was that the mine had returned to normal.

This allowed him to truly breathe a sigh of relief.

Then this morning, at the farewell ceremony for Ross, it was naturally grand and decent.

Giving plenty of face to these Wizard Apprentices from the Elius Wizard Academy.

And after waving goodbye to the local lord and residents, Ross and his two companions got into the carriage of that pair of Centaur brothers and returned to the Elius Wizard Academy.

After returning to the academy, the three immediately went to the mission commission hall to settle the commission regarding the disappearance of miners in the Boulder Town vein this time.

After completing the mission commission, each of the three obtained almost 15 magic stones.

These magic stones were no longer a big deal to Ross.

However, the 20 contribution points compensated by the academy mentioned by Wizard Ian were indeed quite a lot.

"Then Ross, let us part ways here. If you are interested, you can come to the club called 'Wizard Banquet' to find me, and I also represent the club in welcoming your arrival at any time."

Vera and Edmund should both be members of this club.

According to what Ross heard from Vera, during the apprentice stage, there were many clubs used for huddling together for warmth, and there might be various resource exchanges among each other.

It could save a lot of magic stones and obtain news.

Ross had previously been busy only with his own research and enhancing magic power and mental power.

Unlike these ordinary apprentices, who would look for a group to join right from the beginning, and then take the path of obtaining news and earning magic stones.

"If I have time, I will come to find you two, Vera and Edmund."

For Vera's invitation, Ross naturally couldn't refuse directly, so he also returned an ambiguous remark.

After all, whether there were other Official Wizard forces behind these clubs, whether this wizard had any friction with his own mentor, or whether joining this club would bring him any trouble? All these needed to be investigated.

Moreover, compared to those ordinary Wizard Apprentices who needed to huddle together for warmth, the paths for Ross to earn magic stones were simply too numerous.

Not to mention that now he was already a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice, which could be said to be a relatively senior Wizard Apprentice.

For this period of time, it was a period of rapid development for the enhancement of his mental power.

Of course, it was not ruled out that after making sure that this club named "Wizard Banquet" was beneficial to him, Ross might indeed actively join.

But all this would wait until Ross had free time.

The three parted ways here, and Ross, who was mentally refreshed, also rarely breathed the fresh air from the academy.

Compared to the harvest brought by going out, what was gained within the academy was still more.

At least at the stage of a Wizard Apprentice, if one had the connections like Ross to become the disciple of an Official Wizard.

One basically escaped the miserable period of ordinary Wizard Apprentices.

Otherwise, whether doing odd jobs for wizards or accepting commissions, it would consume a lot of one's own time and energy.

And if one wanted to break out of this cycle, they had to try to "start a business".

Whether contracting magic fields to plant Magical Botany, or learning a "Wizard Craft", it all required capital investment.

Wanting to refine magic potions required preparing the [Magic Flame] and [magic cauldron] in advance, as well as potion formulas, and purchasing related Magical Botany and materials.

If one wanted to go into alchemy, they had to learn a large amount of prerequisite knowledge of alchemy and [Runology], and also work as a stoking apprentice in some "Alchemy Hut" for a long time before having the opportunity to try.

Therefore, for a Wizard Apprentice, facing this complex situation.

It was very important to timely determine where one's talent lay, otherwise it was very likely that they wouldn't be able to support themselves.

After all, if one could not timely increase their own mental power and exceeded the academy's time limit, not only would they fail to promote to an Official Wizard.

They would also have to work for the academy for 15 years to repay the academy's investment.

Fortunately, all these were already very far away from Ross.

With the assistance of the system and Ross's clever brain, he could now be said to be at a level where no matter which path he walked, he wouldn't be penniless.

It was just that it was more appropriate to focus on the fields of Magical Botany and magic potions.

Ross's own mentor, Professor Pulang, was not only the appointed professor of "Magical Botany", but also had 2,000 acres of advanced plantations as sect resources.

Ignoring Professor Pulang's resources would be a very brainless behavior.

As for the research in the field of magic potions that had been stagnant before.

This time, Ross had harvested a batch of "ore resources" from Boulder Town, which was enough to forge a [magic cauldron] of superb quality.

While pondering in his heart about the path he was going to take next,

Ross walked into the streets of the Wizard Bazaar and came to the entrance of the "Curio Clank Magic Equipment Shop".

The bazaar here was still as prosperous as ever, and this equipment shop was also the store chosen by Ross after much deliberation.

As the owner of the shop, the store behind this place had a dwarf with "Legendary" strength as the source of equipment.

The goods were complete, and the inner armor bought from this store last time played a significant role in Ross's battle with the Ghoul.

At that time, the reason why Ross dared to unleash the [Void Magic Flame] with all his might and take the risk of the battle aftermath to cancel defensive spells lay in that piece of [wild rhino leather armor].

Coupled with the fact that Ross still had concerns about handing over the ores obtained this time to some Wizard Apprentices.

If handed over to mature "artisans" in the "Alchemy Hut", the asking price would be much higher.

And he would have to follow the schedule of the Official Wizard there.

If handed over to some "alchemy apprentices", Ross worried that his materials would be ruined.

Although wizards had a lot of research in various aspects and fields.

However, below the Official Wizard level, dwarfs with forging talent were more trustworthy.

Moreover, stores doing business in the Wizard Bazaar cared particularly about their reputation.

So after stepping into the store door, Ross shouted:

"Parker, your old customer has come to patronize your business."
