Chapter 119
"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 party’s attitude, Solon could no longer elaborate 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 member of the sequence, Luo En would obtain more resources and permissions, including the ability to apply for the use of more advanced laboratories, access to deeper books, and opportunities to participate in research projects hosted by official wizards.
At the same time, he also needed to undertake 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 uses a point system to evaluate the contributions and value of its 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 fluctuations coming from the new badge on his chest.
"It is indeed an alchemy item, and the structure is quite ingenious. I can try to dismantle it when my alchemy reaches the mastery level..."
He shook his head and laughed, preparing to put this badge into a dedicated containment box when he returned to the workshop, and only wear it when going out.
Luo En didn't believe that the school wouldn't leave some dark hands on these targets that had already generated great value in the "candidate wizard sequence"...
Leaving the central tower, he decided to go to the library immediately to use his new permissions to access more advanced materials.
Passing through several winding stone paths, Luo En arrived at the familiar ancient library.
Guarding the door was an old 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 mid-level apprentice?" The old man raised his eyebrows slightly: "You look quite young."
Luo En nodded politely: "Yes, just passed the certification."
The old man scrutinized Luo En for a few seconds before stepping aside to clear the way:
"Mid-level apprentices can enter the data areas on the second and third floors. Remember to follow the library’s rules."
Luo En walked into the library after thanking him and immediately felt an atmosphere different from before.
The first floor of the library was still what he was familiar with, but now he could clearly perceive the more powerful magical fluctuations flowing in the upper space.
"Second and third floors," Luo En muttered to himself, stepping toward the spiral staircase leading to the upper floors.
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 it was laid out 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 mid-level apprentices who were reading intently.
Luo En walked through the bookshelves lightly, searching for materials he was interested in.
Compared to the first floor, which mainly collected basic knowledge, the content on the second floor was clearly more in-depth and professional, covering theories and practical guides for various advanced wizarding skills.
"《New Spell Construction Theory》, 《Essence of Elemental Control》, 《Construction and Maintenance of Mental Fields》..."
Luo En’s gaze swept across rows of book spines, and he couldn't help but feel a surge 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 stitching; Magic Swordsman, Magic Sword Creation."
Luo En followed the guidance and walked up the stairs leading to the third floor, where the magic concentration was even higher than on the second floor, giving people a slight sense of oppression.
The layout of the third floor was completely different from the two floors below. There were no open bookshelves, but rather closed small reading rooms, each with a device similar to an information board at the door.
Following the instructions of the guidance stone, Luo En arrived in front of a reading room marked "Transcendent Profession Research."
He placed his mid-level 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 to indicate it had been unlocked.
Pushing the door open, Luo En found that this was a comfortable small research room, with a wide oak table in the center and walls filled with various ancient books and scrolls.
Most eye-catching was a crystal pillar half a person high in the corner, with dozens of miniature holographic images floating on it, showing the forms of various transcendent 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 stitching."
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 information he needed was there.
Luo En took down the thick ancient book glowing with faint light; the title was 《Alien Blood Transformation: The Art and Practice of Magical Beast Organ Transplantation》.
The book’s binding was exceptionally exquisite, the cover made of a strange semi-transparent leather, the touch warm and elastic, making one suspect its true origin.
Finding a comfortable position to sit, he began to read intently.
The content of this book was even more detailed than he had imagined, from the selection criteria for magical beast organs and preservation methods, to the details of transplantation surgery, the handling of rejection reactions, and subsequent recuperation and ability development, all recorded in detail.
"Magical beast organ stitching is essentially a semi-permanent physical transformation. By transplanting specific magical beast organs into the human body, the recipient gains part of the magical beast’s abilities."
"The three most critical steps are:
Correctly selecting magical beast organs that match 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 jobs 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 of rejection reactions made one’s hair stand on end:
"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 alien energy will be improved, which can also reduce risks."
Reading this, Luo En breathed a sigh of relief.
With his current constitution of 2.7, plus the fact that he had 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 unity between person and sword by permanently sealing a part of one’s mental 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 wielder’s soul.
Therefore, every magic sword is unique and cannot be fully mastered by others.
If the wielder 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, superb 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 mental power and control over magic.
"The magic sword of a Magic Swordsman is usually called a 'Master Sword,' and its name originates 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 limit of the Magic Swordsman.
Therefore, one must strive for perfection in material selection and the forging process, without the slightest negligence."
Luo En carefully noted down the characteristics of ideal sword materials and the key links in the forging process; these were indispensable knowledge for when he changed jobs to 【Magic Swordsman】 in the future.
