  Chapter 340 Breakthrough to the Second Order

  In the Xisheng School, the mandatory tasks that first-order wizards need to complete every year are four a year.

  On average, exactly one task per quarter.

   But this does not mean that wizards need to complete one mandatory task every quarter, but a total of four every year.

  In actual situations, schools usually do assign compulsory tasks every quarter, but this is only the usual situation...

  Wizards can apply for an early start and complete the four mandatory tasks for a year ahead of schedule.

   But once the allocation is made, it cannot be postponed except in special circumstances.

  On the afternoon of February 1st, Colin hurried back to Neustadt.

   Didn't go home, he came directly to the School General Affairs Castle.

   "Your Excellency Colin, we meet again." It was the same wizard on duty that I saw in January. His expression was a little strange, and there was a bit of sympathy in his doubts.

   "Your mandatory task this time is to go to Gubei Village to eliminate the incoming Tier 1 ice and snow monsters."

   "How long is the mission period?" Colin asked calmly.

   "Let me see... Well, it's three months, but..." The wizard on duty raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his head in surprise and continued: "But there is a week of preparation time, you can start after a week."

   This is a relatively rare situation. Generally speaking, mandatory missions don’t give wizards too much time to prepare, and they have to set off in a day or two at most.

  If there are special circumstances that require more preparation time, the wizard who needs to accept the task should apply for it on his own initiative, instead of giving it at the beginning of the task.

   "Well, I understand." Colin nodded expressionlessly, "Give me the details of the mission."

"Okay, Your Excellency Colin." The wizard on duty handed him a piece of crystal, and at the same time added: "If there are no special circumstances, I personally suggest that you complete this task as soon as possible, otherwise if you fail, you will not only be deducted School points, you need to accept two mandatory tasks again."

   "Yes." Colin nodded and took the crystal.

   Half an hour later, Colin returned home.

  Sitting on the armchair in the study, he didn't rush to check the specific mandatory tasks, but after a short rest, he walked to the meditation room.

  ‘Seven days…should be enough. '

  A group of black shadows followed closely behind, almost perfectly blending into Colin's own shadow.

  These are the shadows of silence produced by the net of black mist, there are six in total.

   Each of them, transformed from a great knight, has at least the strength of a first-level junior monster. Among them, the leader of the Silent Shadow is even as strong as a first-level intermediate.

  But for the current Colin, the strength of the Silent Shadow is obviously not enough, but what the Silent Shadow is good at is not fighting.

boom.

  The door of the meditation room closed slowly, and the bright crystals cast a deep shadow.

  The morning after two days.

  Uria came to visit on behalf of the Hitos family, accompanied by a wizard named Andy, who came from the Clifford pure-blood family.

  Colin received them in the study.

   "Your Excellency Colin, long time no see, I thought you were in the Aknowledge Society." Yulia sat down first and said with a smile on her face.

  She continued to turn her head and explained: "This is Your Excellency Andy. We happened to meet on the road, so we came here together."

   "Good morning, Lord Colin." Andy also sat opposite Colin leaning on Yulia.

   When congratulating Colin on getting the Golden Feather nameplate, he also came here on behalf of the Clifford family, so there is no need to introduce himself too much.

  In fact, the Clifford family was also the only pure-blood family that sent a wizard, which made Colin especially fond of memory.

   "Good morning, both of you." Colin greeted lightly with a polite smile, didn't say much, just ordered Renee to serve tea.

  Then the three chatted for half an hour, from the weather to school anecdotes, but there was nothing serious about it.

  In other words, Yulia and Andy didn't mention at all what they came here for, as if it was just a door-to-door visit between friends.

   And Colin didn't ask, but just greeted politely.

  Anyway, the net of black mist does not need to spend any more energy for the time being, and the daily meditation time only needs four hours.

  He has plenty of time to circle around with the two people in front of him.

  However, to Colin's surprise, until Andy asked to leave an hour later, he still didn't reveal anything useful.

  As for Yulia, although she stayed for an extra hour, she was only directing the topic to him, such as favorite food and other unnutritious things.

  This kind of situation made Colin feel inexplicably puzzled, but that was all. He put it aside and didn't think about it... There is no need to think about it.

  Colin is more willing to spend his energy on the fireball technique that breaks the limit four times, to see if he can break the limit again before starting to perform the task, and become a second-order witchcraft.

   After all, although he doesn't know what medicine is sold in the gourd of the pure blood family, as long as he is a member of the school for one day, he is a golden feather for one day.

   Then, there is a high probability that those pure-blood families will not kill him... After all, there is no deep hatred.

  Those pure-blood families just want to subtly change their minds and let themselves join them.

  As long as the means are controlled on the bright side, then for oneself, it is at most just an obstacle.

  …

  The remaining five days passed quickly.

  Andy didn't come again during this period, but Yulia came twice more.

  Every time I come, I just chat, and occasionally I do ask some questions about witchcraft knowledge, but I just taste it.

  Colin explained it patiently at first, but then he just shook his head and said he didn’t understand.

  Yanamic calendar 3586, February 7th.

   In the morning, the weather was fine.

  Colin is taking a walk in the small garden in his own yard, and on his left shoulder sits the elf Naxi.

  Demi also followed.

  Today is the last day of preparation before the mission.

  Tomorrow at the latest, Colin must leave Neustadt.

   Otherwise, if you fail to arrive at the mission location within the specified time, it will also be considered a mission failure.

  However, at this moment Colin is not wasting time.

  He is relaxing physically and mentally—for the upcoming advancement.

  After the meditation this morning, Hokia's meditation successfully merged with the original holy ring meditation.

   Among them, the total consumption reached 250,000 magic stones.

  But all of this is worthwhile. Although he has not advanced to the second-level wizard, the benefits brought to Colin by the fusion of the two meditation methods are already immediate.

   To put it simply, after Hogia's meditation method was integrated into the holy ring meditation method, he can already cast the steel heat-resistant force field while summoning the armor of black mist.

  Be aware that this is not a simple operation.

  Maybe Colin could summon the Black Mist Armor within a second and then cast the steel heat-resistant force field, but not at the same time.

  Such a small improvement may not be noticeable in many cases, and the effect is not considered great.

  But for the other two witchcrafts that Colin mastered, it was a qualitative change.

  —Four limit-breaking fireballs and one limit-breaking summon fire element.

   Summoning the fire element failed to change its casting premise even after breaking the limit once—it needs a fire source as a casting material.

  The fire source has an impact on the strength of the summoned fire element, but it is not that big, at most it fluctuates up and down half a small level.

  In the past, when Colin performed the witchcraft of summoning the fire element, he usually used the fireball of the fireball technique as the casting material.

  This leads to a problem, the process of summoning the fire element has one more step to create the fire source, which will slow down the summoning time.

  Based on the past situation, even Colin has engraved the models of the two witchcrafts in the spiritual sea.

  But it takes at least a second to summon a fire element.

  After the fusion of meditation methods, according to Colin's experiment, if the fireball technique and the summoning fire element are cast at the same time, the duration of the final summoning of the fire element will be greatly reduced, almost instantaneous.

  At first, Colin thought that the part of creating the fire source was omitted, which led to this result.

  But after thinking about it carefully, the reasons may be more complicated.

  After all, the premise of summoning the fire element is the source of fire, that is to say, the fireball technique must create a fireball before summoning the fire element can be activated.

  But when these two witchcrafts were cast at the same time, Colin found that they overlapped inexplicably,

  And this leads to the final casting speed, which is even faster than simply casting Summon Fire Element.

  This can't help but make Colin think of the combined witchcraft of the Black Mist Net, which seems to have similarities.

  But the departure is imminent, and he has to start to break the limit. He doesn't have extra time to go to the school or the true knowledge society to find information, so he can only put it aside for the time being.

  About ten o'clock in the morning.

   Colin finished his walk.

  He left his residence and came to the laboratory of the True Knowledge Society.

  According to previous Atbold and meditation knowledge, the time required to break the second-order limit is uncertain, ranging from two hours to a day.

  During this period, advanced wizards should avoid any outside disturbance.

  So Colin thought for a while, and finally decided to come to the laboratory of the True Knowledge Society.

   But this time, he chose the second-order laboratory.

  The location of the True Knowledge Association is remote, and usually no one will come for ten days and a half months.

  And the laboratories are built strictly according to the best specifications, although some precision instruments inside are seriously damaged.

  However, the defensive witch array and the walls made of special materials in the room basically retain their complete appearance.

   Open the door of the second-level laboratory.

   After a cursory glance, the overall area inside is a circle larger than that of the first-order laboratory, and there are some more instruments.

  However, since Colin rented the lab with the lowest price and the worst damage, most of the instruments inside seemed to be unusable.

   Without much delay, Colin took out the cushion he carried in the storage ring, sat cross-legged in the open space next to the experiment table, and was about to break the limit.

  The key to becoming an advanced first-level wizard is to plant the seed of talent, and let it germinate from the ground. While opening up the spiritual sea, it also bears a precious fruit—true talent.

  The key to advancing to the second level is to make this small sapling that only bears one fruit grow stronger, and while expanding the spiritual sea, obtain the second real talent.

   At the same time, the spirit will usher in a strengthening.

  This kind of strengthening can make the originally loose spirit converge and solidify, making the shape of the soul clearly visible.

  'I don't know what my second real talent will be...'

  Colin restrained his thoughts, and slowly closed his eyes.

  The magic power is as calm as a dark tan, but the spirit is boiling like a tsunami.

  The essence of a wizard's advancement is the continuous sublimation of the spirit, and the entire advancement process basically does not require the participation of magic power.

  As long as the spirit is successfully strengthened at that time, the capacity of magic power will naturally increase accordingly.

  The scented aroma next to him was indistinctly hot, and the only sound left in the well-sound-proof laboratory was Colin's faint but long breathing.

   After an unknown amount of time, a pale white halo visible to the naked eye gradually appeared between Colin's brows.

  Dense and swaying, it looks mysterious and abnormal.

   But this is just the beginning, and the entire advancement process will probably continue for a while.

   Time passed like this, and the halo between Colin's eyebrows became brighter.

   I don't know how long it has passed.

  At a certain moment, the white light between the eyebrows shrank suddenly, forming an extremely bright dot, and then quickly sank into the spiritual sea, heading straight for the talent tree, and finally fused with it.

   Shua!

   As if the time acceleration button was pressed, the talent tree in Colin's spiritual sea quickly sprouted and thrived.

   Then, withstood the spiritual sea wall.

   click.

   At first it was just a tiny crack.

  However, in the blink of an eye, it was like knocking down a domino, and tiny cracks immediately covered the entire spiritual ocean wall.

  In the laboratory, Colin looked calm and neither sad nor happy, but silently increased his efforts.

  Crack, the entire spiritual overseas wall was completely shattered, and the talent tree that had grown up in a circle was finally able to stretch out.

  A misty halo emanated from the talent tree, and many translucent filaments suddenly appeared between the fragments like broken threads.

  Then those filaments rapidly weave and expand, forming a new spiritual overseas wall.

  The whole process is smooth and fast.

  When the outer wall was completely formed, a strange fruit also grew on the top branch of the talent tree, officially announcing that Colin had successfully broken through the second level!

  …

   On the other side, Yulia came to the middle-aged wizard's office again.

   "Has Colin left yet?" asked the middle-aged wizard.

   "I went to visit this morning, and his maid said he wasn't there, but the people outside the door of the Church of True Knowledge said they saw Colin." Yulia replied respectfully.

   "Well, it's good not to start." The middle-aged wizard stroked his chin and nodded in satisfaction.

   "Master Bray..." Yulia couldn't hold back her curiosity, and asked after hesitation, "Why does your lord need to monitor Colin's itinerary?"

   "Did you know that he accepted a mandatory mission?" Bray smiled and asked suddenly.

   Yuria shook her head and looked at Bray suspiciously.

  She wondered why Bray brought this up all of a sudden.

   However, Bray smiled, but did not answer Yulia's doubts, but said lightly:

   "You'll find out later."
