Chapter 434 Path of an Apprentice
“Chip, display the changes to my Spirit after tempering!”
“Beep. Host’s attributes are as follows: Strength 2.8 | Agility 1.3 | Physique 3.9 | Spirit 6.”
Greem narrowed his eyes when he saw these numbers.
He distinctly remembered that his Spirit used to be at seven points. Didn’t this mean that his Spirit had decreased rather than increased after one instance of tempering? Not to mention, this was one entire point of reduction in his Spirit. This…
The chip’s notification continued while Greem considered.
“Host’s mental limits increased. Mental strength increased. Fire affinity increased. Disharmony between current psychological state and body compatibility detected. This phenomenon is expected to end in 127 hours 36 minutes and 54 seconds. During this time, the host has to continuously release fire elementium to stimulate change in the host’s body.
That was the result that the chip had calculated after analyzing every single aspect. Even Kodar himself might not know his success rate with such accuracy. He would only have a vague idea that he was likely to fail. However, he wouldn’t know how bad his chances were.
Of course, the highest possibility was Kodar himself willing to attempt the advancement regardless of how bad his chances were.
After all, in this world where adepts ruled the rest of the people, the pseudo-adepts were still far too inferior to real adepts!
In truth, this was the only determination for all apprentices that stepped upon the path of an adept.
They gritted their teeth and broke through barrier after barrier, or they died on the road, tragic and broken.
Greem hesitated for a moment and didn’t tell Kodar of his estimations.
Kodar choosing to visit him before he held his advancement ceremony carried with it an intention to bid ‘farewell.’ It didn’t matter whether it was his choice or one that his family pressured him into making; this was a step that Kodar had to take.
If that were the case, anything that Greem had to say would only weaken his will. Why not let him fight for that 16% with all he had?
Greem lowered his head and thought for a moment before taking out a jade green potion from his pouch. He handed it over to Kodar.
“Take it; this is a vial of high-quality Potion of Life. Drink it during the advancement ceremony if you feel like you cannot hold on any longer. It might help you!”
High-quality potions like this were worth thousands of magical crystals each. They were healing potions exclusively used by adepts. In fact, they hardly ever surfaced on the market. Even an ordinary adept would preserve and keep a medicine like that if they came into possession of one. This item was something that could save their lives during a dangerous moment.
If it weren’t for Greem having a qualified potions master subordinate like Gargamel, even he would have trouble purchasing a life-saving potion like this one.
Gratitude surfaced on Kodar’s face. He silently accepted the gift and bowed to Greem before slowly walking out of the room.
Greem had a feeling as the doors of his room slowly closed. This moment was probably the last time he would see Kodar!
…………
The Tower of Fate.
The large doors slowly opened as Alice strode through the corridor in her long purple and starry robe. Magic Fairy Helen was like a nagging housewife, constantly flying around Alice’s ears and reporting things.
Clusters of starry radiance dragged behind Alice as she walked, forming a beautiful belt of stars.
All the apprentices that met her on the way made way and bowed to her. They all held magical tomes in their hands. It was apparent that they were hurrying to a magical hall for lessons.
“Who is giving the lecture today? Snowlotus or Katrina?” Alice suddenly pointed at a young apprentice and asked loudly.
This apprentice was only nine-years-old. She had a young face, a short white robe, and she held a surprisingly thick tome in her hands. The words ‘Basic Discussions on Astrology’ were written on the side of the hardcover book in beautiful and large Aliduan characters.
The apprentice was too young and too petite. That was why the sight of her walking through the corridor with a book half her size had been so eye-catching.
“Lady Alice, Miss Katrina is the one giving the lecture today!” The little apprentice’s face flushed red, perhaps because it was the first time she was speaking to someone as famous as the Witch of Fate herself. One could see tiny beads of sweat on her slightly freckled nose.
Witch Katrina was a wandering witch that had come to join after the Tower of Fate had activated. Even though her abilities were pretty average, she still had rock-solid foundations for a First Grade witch. Alice didn’t have the luxury of choosing at the moment either. She accepted everyone who came to join her cause, regardless of who they were, and assigned them duties within the Tower of Fate.
“What is your name?” Alice was suddenly interested in this nervous little witch apprentice.
“I’m called Tiffany!”
