135: Chapter 134 Third-Class Wizard Apprentice

Chapter 135 Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice

According to Byron's speculation, the reason Mentor Isolde had asked Byron and Colin to purchase and process Materials back then was very likely because Mentor Isolde was helping them, cultivating their ability to process Materials and their insight.

After all, for a Wizard Apprentice who had just enrolled, studying Potionology back then was the most expensive thing in terms of Magic Stones.

For ordinary students, let alone learning Potion Making, even practicing the processing of potion Materials required a long time of consideration.

After all, practicing the processing of Materials resulted in waste, and the processed Materials could not be sold.

Because Wizards who knew Potion Making, in order to ensure the purity of the potions, all did as Byron did: purchasing raw Materials themselves for processing.

This caused many students who had just started learning Potionology to get stuck at the very first step without a mentor's help.

Arriving at Mentor Isolde's experimental spire, Byron explained his upcoming plans to Isolde, and Mentor Isolde, just as Byron had expected, quickly agreed.

However, she added a reminder afterwards that he must not give up on the required courses; these were exchanged for their freedom for the next fifty years, so it would be a pity to waste them.

Byron certainly would not give up on this aspect; after all, with the help of the Eye of Omniscience, he could learn the courses more easily than the average student and wouldn't lose much time.

After chatting for a while longer, Byron saw that it was time for Mentor Isolde's experiment, so he did not linger any further and immediately took his leave.

After leaving Mentor Isolde's experimental spire, Byron did not go anywhere else and returned straight to his Laboratory.

Returning to the Laboratory, Byron walked into the basement.

At this moment, Daphne was still seriously processing the Materials Byron had left on the table when he left.

Seeing this, Byron did not disturb Daphne, turned, and walked towards the Potion Making area on the second floor, transporting the Materials he had processed earlier up through the Laboratory's transmission channel.

He could not waste any more time; he needed to hurry and engage in Potion Making to earn Magic Stones!

In the following days, Byron repeated a few tasks: teaching Daphne how to process Materials, processing Materials himself, Potion Making, and having Wally take the finished potions to the Potion Market to sell.

Of course, leaving the sale of potions entirely to Wally was unrealistic.

The first transaction was handled by Byron personally; he sought out the same shop owner he had often collaborated with before.

After confirming the price with him, Wally only needed to deliver the potions and bring back the Magic Stones.

After ensuring a sufficient supply of Magic Stones, Byron ended this dozen-day phase of frenzied Potion Making.

As for the remaining unprocessed Materials, Byron let Daphne process them all, just as practice.

Thinking back to the past, when he first entered Mentor Isolde's experimental spire, he didn't know how many Materials he and Colin had to process every morning to meet the needs of Isolde's experiments.

Although there was some waste in the process, through continuous processing, he slowly became proficient until he reached his current state of ease and familiarity.

Therefore, there was no other trick to this; one could only rely on self-practice.

Furthermore, Byron also gave Daphne some Magic Stones, allowing her to purchase Materials for practice on her own after she finished using up the current stock while he was in seclusion, so that she wouldn't have to stop.

As for him, in the time that followed, he would only come out for a few days when there was a shortage of experimental subjects or potion Materials, when it was time for gatherings, or when he had courses to attend.

The rest of the time, Byron almost always stayed in the experimental area, conducting experiments alone.

A year and a half later.

The second floor of the Laboratory rented by Byron.

Daphne and Wally stood in front of the experimental area, and Daphne, in particular, looked at the tightly closed door of the experimental area with a worried expression.

Daphne looked at Wally with concern and asked, "Wally, why do you think Master hasn't come out for such a long time this time? Nothing happened to him, right?!"

Wally remained expressionless, and his voice carried no fluctuation as he replied, "In the past year and a half, Master has often gone into seclusion and has never had any accidents, so it is highly likely that there will be no accident this time either."

Daphne retorted, "Is that the same thing? Master has never been in seclusion for this long before; this time he hasn't come out for nearly two months!"

"Previously, researching that ancient potion formula, the rapid recovery of magic power with Medullary Crystals... none of these topics took this long. Why did researching the Elemental Compression topic cause him to go into such a long seclusion this time?"

"He even missed the monthly gatherings twice in a row; doesn't that make one worried?!"

"Also, you said it yourself, it's highly likely nothing is wrong, but what if it's a low-probability event? Should we go and ask Master's friends to come and take a look?"

Wally: "Low-probability events do not influence the development of matters and are not considered. Furthermore, even if we brought Master's friends here, they cannot enter the Laboratory without Master's permission, and we cannot let them in."

Hearing these words from Wally, Daphne also slumped down.

She understood what Wally meant, and in her heart, she knew that the solution she proposed had no possibility of being realized.

Just as Wally said, she could not disobey her Master's order to bring people into the Laboratory.

Just then, Wally suddenly spoke: "Daphne, your heartbeat is too fast. Simply put, your heart is in chaos."

"Since you have no way to do anything, why not continue processing the Materials in the basement? That is better than waiting here in vain."

Hearing this, Daphne shook her head firmly.

"No, I cannot leave. I must wait until Master comes out and confirm that Master is safe. Materials can be processed at any time!"

Hearing this, Wally did not say anything else.

Neither of them could persuade the other.

Just as Daphne and the other were standing outside the door of the experimental area, worried, what was Byron doing inside the Laboratory?

At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on the cold floor of the experimental area, his eyes closed, surrounded by countless points of light.

As time passed, the points of light around him were suddenly swallowed up as if by a whale at a certain moment, all being absorbed into Byron's body.

At the same time, Byron slowly opened his eyes.

"Is this the power of a Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice? It really is formidable, completely incomparable to a Second-Rank Wizard Apprentice!"

"If I were to release the Flame Condensation Explosion Spell now, it shouldn't drain one-sixth of my body's Mental Energy and magic power in one go, right!"

Byron looked at the elements stirred by a trace of his Mental Energy and was filled with emotion.

This promotion to Third-Rank Wizard Apprentice not only increased the quantity of his Mental Energy but also brought some changes to its quality.

Although the change was not large, as the Dominator of his own body, Byron could still perceive it.

"Omniscience, view attributes."

[Target: Byron Augustus]

[Age: 17]

[Physique: 15.32]

[Mental Energy: 31.27]

[Magic Power: 273.14]

Looking at the displayed data, Byron sighed: "I am walking further and further down the path of 'not being human'. If it's like this when I am still just a Wizard Apprentice, if I were to become an Official Wizard, what kind of exaggerated numbers would the data show? I truly dare not imagine!"
