Chapter 122
"You are welcome." Solon's expression became more cordial:
"I am very interested in you, young man. 'Potion-Body Resonance' is quite rare in the wizarding world; if you are willing, you can consider joining my research group in the future. We have been trying to understand and replicate the mechanisms of various special talents."
"It is my honor." Luo En only responded politely, without giving any clear answer; he was highly vigilant about this kind of "research" in his heart.
Seeing the other's attitude, Solon could only stop expanding on this topic:
"Then, as a certification officer, I need to explain to you in detail some basic matters regarding the candidate wizard sequence."
In the next half hour, Solon introduced in detail the operation mode, rights, and obligations of the candidate wizard sequence.
As a sequence member, Luo En would obtain more resources and permissions, including being able to apply for the use of more advanced laboratories, consult deeper collections of books, and have the opportunity to participate in research projects hosted by official wizards.
At the same time, he also needed to fulfill some obligations, such as submitting research reports regularly, participating in activities organized by the school, and providing professional services when needed.
"Finally, regarding the point system." Solon took out a detailed table:
"The candidate wizard sequence adopts a point system to evaluate the contributions and value of members."
He pointed to the numbers on the table:
"Points are directly related to your ranking in the sequence, and the ranking determines the priority of resource allocation and advancement opportunities."
Luo En listened carefully, keeping this information firmly in mind.
"I understand, Lord Griffith." He nodded: "I will take every opportunity to earn points seriously."
"Very good." Solon smiled with satisfaction:
"Then, the certification ends here. From today on, you are a genius student in the school's candidate wizard sequence; I wish you to go further on the wizard path."
Leaving the Central Hall, he felt the subtle energy fluctuation coming from the new badge on his chest.
"It is indeed an alchemy item, and the structure is quite ingenious; when my alchemy reaches the proficient level, I can try to dismantle it and see..."
He shook his head and laughed, preparing to put this badge into a dedicated sealing box when he reached the workshop, and only wear it when going out.
Luo En didn't believe that the school wouldn't leave some secret hands on targets that had already generated great value in the "candidate wizard sequence"...
Leaving the Central Tower, he decided to head to the library immediately to use his new permissions to consult more high-level materials.
Passing through several winding stone paths, Luo En arrived at the familiar ancient library.
Guarding the door was an elderly man in a gray robe different from the previous one; he looked up and caught sight of the blue badge on Luo En's chest, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"A newly promoted intermediate apprentice?" The old man raised an eyebrow slightly: "You look quite young."
Luo En nodded politely: "Yes, just passed the certification."
The old man scrutinized Luo En for a few seconds, then stepped aside to make way:
"Intermediate apprentices can enter the second and third-floor data areas; remember to abide by the library's rules."
Luo En thanked him and walked into the library, immediately feeling an atmosphere different from before.
The first floor of the library was still the way he was familiar with, but now he could clearly perceive the more powerful magic fluctuations flowing in the upper space.
"Second floor and third floor," Luo En muttered to himself, stepping toward the spiral staircase leading to the upper floor.
As Luo En ascended, he could feel the magic concentration in the air significantly increase, bringing a slight stinging sensation.
The space on the second floor was smaller than the first, but arranged more exquisitely.
The distance between bookshelves was wider, and each area had dedicated reading tables and magic crystal lamps.
Most eye-catching was a huge crystal ball in the central area, surrounded by several intermediate apprentices who were reading attentively.
Luo En walked lightly between the bookshelves, searching for materials he was interested in.
Unlike the first floor, which mainly collected basic knowledge, the content on the second floor was clearly more in-depth and professional, covering theoretical and practical guides for various advanced wizard skills.
"《New Spell Construction Theory》, 《Essentials of Elemental Manipulation》, 《Construction and Maintenance of Spiritual Fields》..."
Luo En's gaze swept over rows of book spines, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart.
These were all precious materials he couldn't access before, each containing knowledge that could significantly improve his strength.
But his main purpose for this trip was not these.
Coming to the guidance stone, Luo En placed his palm on it, clearly conveying his needs:
"Demon Hunter, magical beast organ suturing; Magic Swordsman, Magic Sword Creation."
Luo En followed the guidance and walked up the stairs leading to the third floor; the magic concentration here was even higher than on the second floor, giving people a slight sense of pressure.
The layout of the third floor was completely different from the two floors below; there were no open bookshelves here, but closed small reading rooms, each with a device similar to an information board at the door.
Following the guidance stone's instructions, Luo En arrived before a reading room labeled "Extraordinary Profession Research."
He placed his intermediate apprentice badge on the certification area next to the door; a moment later, the runes on the door lit up, making a slight clicking sound, indicating it had been unlocked.
Pushing the door open, Luo En found this was a comfortable small research room; in the center was a wide oak table, and the surrounding walls were filled with various ancient books and scrolls.
Most eye-catching was a crystal pillar half a person high in the corner, on which floated dozens of miniature holographic images, displaying the forms of various extraordinary creatures and professionals.
Luo En walked to the crystal pillar and gently placed his palm on it, conveying his query needs: "Demon Hunter, magical beast organ suturing."
The surface of the crystal pillar rippled with light patterns, and then a certain book on a bookshelf lit up with a faint light, indicating that the materials he needed were there.
Luo En took down the thick ancient book radiating faint light; the title was 《Alien Blood Transformation: The Art and Practice of Magical Beast Organ Transplantation》.
The book's binding was extraordinarily exquisite, the cover being a peculiar translucent leather, the touch warm and elastic, making one suspect its true origin.
Finding a comfortable position to sit down, he began to read attentively.
The content of this book was even more detailed than he had imagined, from the selection standards and preservation methods of magical beast organs to the details of transplant surgery, the handling of rejection reactions, and subsequent recuperation and ability development, all recorded in detail.
"Magical beast organ suturing is essentially a semi-permanent physical transformation; by transplanting specific magical beast organs into the human body, the recipient obtains part of the magical beast's abilities."
"The three most critical steps are:
Correctly selecting magical beast organs compatible with one's own aura;
Using specially made 'Acceptance Agents' to reduce rejection reactions;
Performing precise energy pathway reconstruction to ensure that magical beast energy can coexist harmoniously with the human energy system."
As his reading deepened, Luo En gradually understood the complete process of changing to 【Demon Hunter】.
Compared to the one-sided information he had obtained before, the actual operation was much more complex and dangerous.
Especially the description regarding rejection reactions was chilling:
"Even compared to ancient times, now that there are perfect anti-rejection measures, about 50% of recipients still experience severe rejection after surgery.
Mild cases manifest as persistent high fever, severe pain, and temporary loss of consciousness;
Severe cases may lead to abnormal organ proliferation, genetic mutation, or even complete distortion, losing human form and sanity."
"Statistics show that recipients with higher constitution attributes have a significantly lower probability of rejection.
In addition, if the recipient has already undergone other forms of bloodline activation, the body's adaptability to foreign energy will improve, which can also reduce risks."
Reading this, Luo En let out a sigh of relief.
With his current constitution of 2.7, plus having already successfully completed bloodline activation, the risk of rejection should be greatly reduced.
After carefully reading this book, Luo En found information about "Magic Sword Creation" through the crystal pillar—《Magic and Steel: The Secrets of Magic Sword Forging》.
This book was also rich in content, detailing the core elements and job change process of 【Magic Swordsman】.
Unlike 【Demon Hunter】, the key to 【Magic Swordsman】 is not physical transformation, but forging a magic sword that resonates with one's own soul.
And establishing a special connection of man and sword as one by permanently sealing part of one's spiritual power into the sword through a special ritual.
"A true magic sword is not a simple enchanted weapon, but an extension and projection of the holder's soul.
Therefore, every magic sword is unique and cannot be fully controlled by others.
If the holder dies, the magic sword will also lose most of its power, leaving only an ordinary sharp weapon."
The process of "Magic Sword Creation" is equally complex, requiring special materials, exquisite forging skills, and accurate soul sealing techniques.
But compared to the high-risk surgery of 【Demon Hunter】, the danger of this job change method is much lower, mainly testing the strength of spiritual power and the ability to control magic.
"The magic sword of a Magic Swordsman is usually called a 'Master Sword,' its name derived from the fact that every Magic Swordsman is a famous master of swordsmanship.
The quality of the Master Sword will directly affect the future growth ceiling of the Magic Swordsman.
Therefore, in the process of material selection and forging, one must strive for perfection and not be negligent in the slightest."
Luo En carefully noted down the traits of ideal sword materials and the key links in the forging process; these were indispensable knowledge for when he would change to 【Magic Swordsman】 in the future.
