Chapter 88 Introduction to Elemental Networks, A New Goal

Obtain the witchcraft.

And the channels for purchasing resources from Vivian.

Ian also began studying witchcraft.

Three days later!

"I've gotten started with the basics of elemental theory."

In the new house, Ian looked down at himself and could clearly feel elements flowing beneath his body.

next moment.

The elements beneath his skin surged forth instantly, as if a layer of armor had been attached to his body.

A wind blade materialized.

As I gently moved closer to one side of the arm, I saw the wind blade collide with the elemental armor.

The wind blades seemed to be worn away and gradually disappeared, just as water encountering fire.

"Defense is countered by resistance between elements and by elemental collisions within the element itself."

Ian nodded in satisfaction.

It must be said that this is indeed a very outstanding form of witchcraft. If it weren't for the fact that its defensive elemental magic is somewhat weak, it could be even more outstanding.

"But the cost is also high."

Ian shook his head. Learning this sorcery requires breaking through the four elemental dusts, and Ian predicted that it would require at least several hundred magic stones to reach the master level.

If other witchcraft is added, it would be an enormous expense.

"It all depends on how much benefit the new lab and department can bring me."

Ian shook his head.

Just as I expected, once you reach the second tier, all the magic stones still depend on the wizard himself.

What Ian didn't expect was...

Several days later, when Ian arrived at the new laboratory, he saw a person standing at the door.

"Zoe?"

Ian frowned as he looked at the wizard.

It was Zoe who chose to leave his lab and go to another lab.

"Lord Ian." Zoe saw Ian arrive and immediately looked regretful, almost running over to say, "Lord Ian, please forgive my previous rudeness. I shouldn't have done that."

Ian raised an eyebrow.

What's going on here?

"Wizard Purdy rejected me. I know you certainly won't mind me leaving, sir..." Zoe said, biting her lip.

Ian suddenly realized.

It's likely that Purdy overheard something about Zoe and then chose to reject her.

"That's none of my business."

Ian shook his head, unconcerned.

Zoe's face immediately turned ugly.

The current situation is different from before, especially with the arrival of war. Large laboratories have high authority and abundant resources, giving them a significant advantage over individual configurations.

Not only did Purdy reject him, but the other intermediate pharmacists also didn't want him.

This puts him in a very awkward position!

"Why!"

All the resentment turned into a sigh.

A passing wizard couldn't help but smirk, as if mocking his shortsightedness!

On the other side, Ian also entered the laboratory, which was larger than the previous one.

"Sir." Farn and Jesse quickly approached.

"What's the situation now?"

Ian asked directly.

"Sir, there are currently five junior pharmacists, ten pharmacists who have not yet been promoted, and forty-five servants in the laboratory." Fain said with a smug look on his face.

In the past few days, he has noticed the most significant changes in the potions department.

Putting everything else aside, even a regular junior pharmacist would recognize him as Ian's man and give him a smile.

This was something we would never have dared to imagine before.

"And what about the profit?"

Ian's eyes lit up.

"After just three days of operation, the estimated average monthly output of potions should be one thousand vials, and three hundred advanced potions. This is mainly due to the school's rewards. Ten basic potions cost one magic stone, and three advanced potions cost one magic stone, so the monthly profit should be two hundred magic stones," Farn calculated.

"Two hundred magic stones?"

Ian's eyes flickered.

Intermediate pharmacists could take a cut of the profits from the laboratory, which used to be about 20%, but things are different now.

Vivian told him it was 50%.

"One hundred magic stones, that's not bad."

Ian was quite satisfied with this.

After all, this happens every month, which explains the high status of the laboratory.

"But we can't let our guard down."

Ian shook his head.

Hyde had said that the period of stability would be at most two years, and even if we counted all the time, he only had one year left.

He must become as strong as possible this year.

"You and Jesse will get ten extra each month, consider it a bonus for your hard work."

Ian added.

He was completely hands-off in the lab; it was mostly Farn and Jesse who were in charge.

"Thank you, sir."

Farn straightened his back.

These magic stones are nothing to Ian now, but to him, they represent a huge sum of magic stones.

loyalty!

Jesse smiled as well. As a second-generation wizard, she wasn't lacking in magic stones; what she valued more was this kind of access.

This is more precious than magic stones.

It's something you absolutely can't get from other labs; they only gave it to Ian because nobody else needed it.

She suddenly felt a pang of regret for her initial choice.

All the witchcraft and its traditions are being learned systematically.

Another half month passed.

Another mutual aid society gathering.

In the new house, if it were a gathering place from the past, you would inevitably hear a cacophony of arguments.

But this time it's different.

"Lord Ian."

Logan, Cole, and Emily's first words to Ian were just that.

Years of academic life had already given them an instinctive reaction to power and social class.

Especially when you see the shiny bronze badge on Ian's chest!

The group almost instinctively bowed their heads to greet each other.

Ian's expression was also complicated.

It has to be said that time has really changed a lot.

Back then, Ron always kept saying he wanted to surpass him.

He hadn't heard him say that in a long time.

Koro used to always call him "boss," but now he's become "Lord Ian."

Even the free-spirited Emily became more restrained when she saw Ian.

"What about William and Alfie?"

Ian broke the silence first.

"William has gone to Coldwind Market. Both schools have set up camps on the outskirts of Coldwind Market, seemingly preparing for a long-term battle. William has been transferred there."

Alfie was killed by the Blackstone School last month. Speaking of the latter, a look of sadness appeared on Koro's face.

"Is he/she dead?"

Ian was taken aback.

To be honest, Alfie had always been relatively unknown within the school of thought, and the same was true within the Mutual Aid Society.

And now he has died so quietly and without a trace.

"But this is already considered good. Countless wizards of the same generation have died. We are lucky. I'm afraid only third-class wizard apprentices could survive that war."

Koro grinned, as if trying to dispel the sadness.

"Yes." Logan nodded in agreement.

First and second-class wizards suffered many casualties, but third-class wizards rarely died.

"A third-rate wizard!"

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener, and Ian's thoughts began to shift.

"Second-class is still too weak. I need to advance to third-class wizard apprentice as soon as possible."

Ian's gaze hardened.

Ultimately, strength is everything.

In this war, second-class wizards are ultimately just stronger cannon fodder; only third-class wizards are the true participants.

Even within schools of thought.

They also divided up the various resources of the school, making them a completely different class from the second and first classes.

"I need to focus all my energy on improving my mental strength for the rest of the time."

Ian's eyes flickered as he made a decision.

Learn only the necessary witchcraft, and then spend all the rest of your time improving your mental strength, even if it means buying energy potions.

Over the next six months to a year, he must devote all his energy to improving his combat effectiveness.

Only in this way can we cope with even bigger storms to come!

Only with sufficient strength can he withstand the storms and waves, and only then can he safely learn witchcraft amidst the storms.

"A third-rate wizarding apprentice!"

At a simple dinner, Ian set a new goal!

Then, he took out some resources, all of which he didn't need and were even difficult to exchange for resources, and gave them to the three of them.

The three of them quickly refused.

"These resources are no longer useful to me. I just hope to see everyone again at the next gathering."

Of course, I hope you can still call me Ian.

Ian looked at Logan.

"Ian, thank you!"

Logan's eyes welled up with tears as he gave Ian a hug.

"Boss." Koro smiled from the side.

"Hehe, I'm in the Alchemy Department, so it shouldn't be that bad."

Emily said with a smile.

Keep it up, everyone!

Ian took a deep breath and said.

"come on!"
