Chapter 164 Detailed Explanation of the Academy Examination, Supplementary Gold Card, March
"Ian, long time no see!"
Ian looked at Audrey in front of him.
Blonde hair, blue eyes, and a slender figure.
Today, she wore a light gold dress, exuding an extraordinary temperament, like an elf.
"I'm so sorry, I've been away for the past two months and only saw your message after I got back. Let's go inside and talk."
Audrey looked apologetic.
Ian nodded.
Observing the surrounding environment.
This is a tavern located in the central area of the fifth floor, frequented almost entirely by third-class wizard apprentices.
As soon as they entered the tavern, they saw the tavern manager quickly approach them.
Look at Audrey and say, "Miss Audrey, the room you reserved is available. Let me take you there!"
Audrey nodded.
It seemed like they were used to it.
Ian watched this scene unfold.
Somewhat surprised.
He knew Audrey belonged to a family from the City of Elements, but now it seemed she was quite extraordinary.
soon.
The two entered a room.
The wine cabinet, the high-end alchemical lamps, even the carpets and sofas all exude a faint aura of the first ring, seemingly made from the fur of a first-ring monster.
All of this seems to indicate that this is not an ordinary place, and that Audrey's identity is not simple.
The two sat down.
Soon, Ian also learned about Audrey's background.
It turns out that it belongs to the Pierce family, and the Pierce Merchant Guild they run is one of the best-performing merchant guilds on the fourth level of the Elemental City.
Their influence is evident in the exchange of goods between the City of Elements and other regions, especially in the large-scale trade within the latter three levels.
Audrey, on the other hand, is the daughter of the current president of the Chamber of Commerce.
Ian was very surprised.
He knew Audrey had connections, but he never imagined they were this powerful.
To be able to become one of the largest chambers of commerce in the City of Elements, even if it's only in the outer circle, means that its background is definitely very strong.
"I am somewhat surprised, though. You actually came to the City of Elements? Are you here to participate in the assessment of elemental mysteries?"
Audrey asked.
Ian nodded.
Audrey seemed to have guessed as expected, but shook her head and said, "For you, there's good news and bad news!"
"Good news or bad news?"
Ian looked at Audrey.
Audrey didn't mince words and explained directly, "The good news is that the Elemental Mystic Arts program usually only recruits 200 people, but this year the number will reach 400."
The number of candidates for assessment has doubled.
That's really good news.
"And what's the bad news?" Ian asked curiously.
Audrey said, "In the past, the age limit for non-academy examinees was 25, but this year it has been raised to 30."
Men Ian immediately became serious.
Five years means too much for a wizard apprentice.
Especially if one stays at the peak of the wizard apprenticeship stage for five years, that is absolutely incomparable to a wizard who has just reached perfection.
There will be a huge gap between the two in terms of mental strength, combat awareness, and combat methods.
"And that's not all."
Audrey knew more.
"Previously, the academy's assessment basically tested mental strength, mental talent, and combat skills, resulting in a comprehensive ranking. However, it's said that the weight of the combat assessment has been significantly increased this time."
Audrey also expressed her feelings.
Without a doubt, the focus of this assessment by the academy is combat.
This is extremely disadvantageous for young wizards.
Not to mention Ian.
She only remembered that the last time she met Ian, he seemed to be just a third-class wizard apprentice.
Even if they advance now, how could they possibly be a match for those wizards!
"So this time, the elemental arcane arts assessment, firstly because of the limited number of places and the age limit, has driven countless wizards crazy. The number of test takers has probably at least doubled. As for combat..." Audrey sighed.
the other side.
Ian listened.
His gaze gradually turned strange.
Focus on combat?
It's not that he's bragging, but in terms of background and talent, he might not be a match for some people, but when it comes to fighting, he's never afraid.
He never feared any top-tier wizard apprentice.
With the support of instant-cast sorcery and body-refining sorcery, he is among the strongest in the zero-ring realm.
Looking at Ian's expression, Audrey guessed that he couldn't possibly give up.
That's normal.
The assessment of elemental mysteries is the greatest opportunity for the wizards of that region.
Even with only a sliver of hope, it attracts countless wizards every year.
She naturally didn't think Ian could succeed.
Taking this into consideration.
She took out a gold card and pushed it to Ian.
"This is?"
Ian looked puzzled.
"This is my gold card. You can go directly to the public meditation room and elemental simulation room on the fourth floor to cultivate, and you can borrow 50,000 magic stones from the Pierce Merchant Guild free of charge. You only need to repay it in one year."
???
Ian's eyes widened.
Not a rich young lady? This is a bit of an exaggeration.
The preciousness of the first two goes without saying, but the latter is even more outrageous, with a limit of 50,000 magic stones.
Even with a one-year time limit, it's still a terrifying amount of magic stones.
Even including Ian's gains in the secret realm, this is probably about all.
But Ian calmed down as well.
"And the price?"
Ian looked up at Audrey.
Audrey raised her head, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, looking at Ian, and slowly said, "There is no price to pay."
"If it weren't for you, I would have died out there. I'm just repaying that life-saving grace in the way I'm good at."
This will allow you to focus wholeheartedly on your practice for the next four months, so don't feel burdened.
Audrey stood up at that moment, and Ian followed suit.
"Keep it up. There are only three months left. If you haven't entered the Elemental Mysteries by then, come find me again, and I'll find you another place. If you have... we'll talk about it then."
"However, I can't offer much help with matters concerning your teacher's school of thought. I haven't yet become involved in the Chamber of Commerce, so it's not appropriate for me to get involved."
Audrey was clearly aware of Ian's situation.
"Miss, your father is looking for you!"
Just then, a sound came from outside the door.
See you in three months.
Audrey stood up, ready to say goodbye.
"Thanks."
Ian thanked him and stepped aside.
Audrey got up and walked over, but just as she was parallel to Ian, she suddenly turned around and gave him a hug.
Ian was taken aback.
"I've given you so many benefits, a kiss isn't too much to ask, is it?"
Audrey stood up and chuckled.
"Not excessive...."
""
Ian's lips twitched.
It's not excessive, but looking at the gold card still on the table, it feels a bit strange!
"Ian, thank you for saving me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Audrey walked towards the door, her steps becoming lighter and lighter.
"Although the process was quite strange, the gains were substantial!"
At that moment, Ian looked at the gold card on the table and took a deep breath.
Who would have thought that rescuing someone randomly on the airship would lead to such a fascinating sequel?
"Now I have a place to train, and I can also use the elemental simulation room to learn some more witchcraft to completely make up for some of my shortcomings."
Ian took a deep breath.
Slowly leave this place.
He quickly made his way to the fourth floor.
Once you get here, you'll find yourself surrounded by major wizarding families and powerful factions, with roads that are dozens of meters wide.
soon.
Holding the gold card, Ian began cultivating in the meditation room and elemental simulation room, an environment almost comparable to the Green Corridor.
In the blink of an eye.
Three months have passed.
