Chapter 305 Flynn's Advancement Banquet, Chief Authority, Deep Secret Realm - Dream Abyss, Falling into a Dream!
three days later.
Shishoin.
Ian accompanied Sophia and Cross to Flynn's second-ring advancement banquet.
This is also a tradition of the academy; every wizard who advances to the second ring invites some close wizards and members of their faction to celebrate.
The banquet hall was brightly lit, and the long tables were filled with all kinds of precious and extraordinary ingredients.
Some family wizards, familiar second-ring wizards, and high-ranking members of the chapter gathered in twos and threes to chat. Flynn stood in the center of the crowd, dressed in a dark blue suit, chatting and laughing with several second-ring mentors.
"Ian over here."
When he saw Ian come in, he waved and smiled.
"Congratulations on advancing to the second ring."
Ian walked over, then took out a gift he had prepared in advance and handed it to Flynn.
"polite."
Flynn smiled and led him to the group he had been chatting with earlier, saying, "Let me introduce you. Many of the wizards who came today have good relationships with our Four Symbols Academy."
"This is Lord Joel, the patriarch of the Saharan family. Lord Joel, this is my junior, who is also..."
"6
He turned to a middle-aged wizard with slightly thinning hair and said, but the latter had already stepped forward with a smile: "You are also the current core chief of the Four Symbols Academy. Hello, I have wanted to get to know you for a long time, but I have never had the chance."
""
He smiled and extended his hand.
"Greetings, Lord Joel."
Ian smiled and shook hands.
Then, with Flynn's help, Ian got to know many second-circle wizards from the academy.
After the introduction, Ian naturally blended in and chatted with the people.
"I'm so envious!"
Not far away, Cross looked on with envy at the scene, as did Flynn and Ian.
"You can do the same when you become the chief."
Sofia glanced at him and said.
"Chief!"
Kroos couldn't help but sigh.
This is the pinnacle of witchcraft below the second-circle wizard in an academy, but an academy has hundreds or even thousands of students.
To win first place in this competition, you need good luck, but it also represents absolute strength.
Simultaneously.
Within the academy, although the chief's strength is not comparable to that of the second-ring students, in terms of importance and status, they are in no way inferior.
On the other side...
Flynn needed to discuss some more private matters with the second-ring wizards, and Ian tactfully left as well.
But once he walked away...
Many wizards gathered around, eager to get to know this newly appointed chief.
Ian responded with a smile.
Although he preferred peace and quiet, as he advanced in rank, such matters became irrelevant to him in these situations.
However, Ian did not expect to see two familiar wizards.
"Chief Ian, congratulations!"
Adèle wore a gown adorned with tiny rhinestones, with West standing beside her.
"Adela West?"
Ian was somewhat surprised.
The former is fine, as his family has always been neutral, but as far as he knows, the latter should be supporting Ivan's side, right?
Ian only found out through a simple chat.
It turns out that as time went on, the wizarding families behind Ivan suffered heavy losses in this war, and with Flynn's advancement, some families began to waver.
But this does not include West's family; he came here privately.
The reason is that they have high hopes for Ian.
"I have never seen a wizard from the Four Symbols Academy advance to the top rank so quickly. I would like to follow you from now on."
West said directly.
???
"And what about your family?" Ian asked, surprised but curious.
"Family is family, and I am me. I have my own judgment," West said.
"OK.
"
Ian nodded.
But he knew in his heart that this was probably not only West's plan, but also the intention of his family behind him.
Be prepared for both possibilities.
But it's also quite interesting.
"Our family feels the same way."
Adele smiled.
Ian nodded, feeling a mix of emotions. Besides his own advancement to the top rank, he believed the bigger reason was Flynn's advancement and the changes that had occurred over the years.
Times have changed!
Time passed slowly, and Ian was talking with many wizards when he suddenly turned around and saw Flynn walking over.
"Sorry to bother everyone, I'd like to chat with my junior for a while."
He smiled and said this, and the many wizards wisely left.
"Senior!"
Ian looked at Flynn, also wondering what he wanted to do there.
"Congratulations again on your advancement to the core level."
Flynn began, "But I've thought about it, and there are a few things I need to tell you."
"Oh?"
Ian became more serious.
"The chief and the second-in-command are different. They not only represent the first in a division, but also, to a certain extent, the first-in-command wizards of a division. They are also the face of a division. However, in recent years, the overall wizards of the Four Symbols Division have been quite good, but due to the resonance problem, the wizards at the top have always been lagging behind."
Ian understood.
While multi-element wizards cultivate more elements and have fewer weaknesses, they also face greater pressure in terms of increasing resonance.
The chief of each academy usually has a basic resonance level of over 95%, but only the Four Symbols Academy usually has a level below that.
This also resulted in their low ranking.
"People like me and Ivan have never even made it into the top five," Flynn said, sighing.
"I didn't tell you before, but my teacher has already talked to me about it. Actually, the academy is already planning to reduce investment in the Four Symbols Academy wizards. My teacher has been against it, but now that everyone's resources are even more scarce, it's natural to use them in more important places."
"so?"
Ian looked at him.
"Junior, I think you have potential. I hope that next time you can go even further and strive to enter the top five."
Flynn said it directly.
"Top five?"
Ian's eyes flickered.
90% resonance is a threshold, then 95% is another huge threshold.
His talent points are almost 17000 now, and his fire elemental power has noticeably slowed down.
He wants to practice all four systems simultaneously.
This is not a simple matter either.
"I see."
Ian didn't say anything, just nodded.
"So what are the benefits of being the chief executive officer?"
"Ian asked."
He had just been promoted and hadn't yet learned about these benefits.
"The rest are nothing more than resources, including magic stones, some top-tier mental energy resources, and some resonance resources, but I feel you shouldn't be lacking much."
Flynn also knew his junior classmate quite well.
Ian nodded.
That's true. Apart from mental energy resources, there's not much lack of magic stones and resonance resources here.
The latter is alright.
The former relied on the Byers Chamber of Commerce. With the complete integration of the Chamber of Commerce and the Academy, and with Horton's help, its power expanded extremely rapidly.
The monthly supply of magic stones has reached tens of thousands.
Unfortunately, it's currently limited to supplying elemental magic. Ian wants a higher level of cooperation, but due to limitations such as some basic resources, it's not something he can intervene in at the moment.
All they earn is some processing fees.
"The biggest changes are actually two things: permissions and secret realms."
Flynn explained, "In terms of permissions, you will gain most of the basic permissions of the Second Ring, including but not limited to accessing the Academy's higher-level libraries, learning knowledge related to the Second Ring, having the right to participate in some of the management affairs of the branch, and having the right to sit in on the senior meetings of the entire Academy."
As for the secret realm, you can enter the deeper layers, which are the true core of the secret realm. I can only tell you that there you can not only hone your mental strength, but also gain a lot of knowledge.
Permissions and secret realms.
Ian's eyes lit up.
He now needs a higher level of access because he needs to check if the knowledge he needs is available.
His fifth crystal knowledge is still missing a crucial piece of knowledge.
And now, the secret realm can actually be entered into its deeper areas.
It can also enhance mental strength?
Ian also had a flicker of curiosity, wondering what the deeper parts of the secret realm were like.
I just didn't expect it.
He hadn't even finished acquiring the knowledge from the middle layer, and now he was going to go straight into the deep layer.
Gee!
After chatting for a while, Ian gained a better understanding of the Chief.
Besides being a reserve member of the Second Ring Army, he was also being groomed as the future leader of the academy.
"The teacher is here."
Flynn suddenly patted him on the shoulder, and Ian turned to look as Kieran slowly walked into the banquet.
This is normal.
After all, Flynn was Kieran's student, and accompanying Kieran was a burly wizard with a faint smile on his face, exuding the aura of a second-ring wizard.
"The teacher's student, Killian Marlowe, a second-circle earth and fire dual-attribute wizard," Flynn whispered from the side.
Students from the Second Ring Road?
Ian's eyes flickered for a moment.
This was not surprising, as Kieran naturally had more than just first-ring students; there were also several second-ring students.
These wizards are his true strength; they usually reside in their respective territories or resource points.
Kieran walked towards the two of them.
"Teacher, Senior Killian."
Flynn and Ian said respectfully at the same time.
"Congratulations, Flynn, junior Ian. I've heard of you quite a few times."
Kieran nodded, while Kilian seemed very enthusiastic towards the two of them, and then took out two boxes.
"A small gift, nothing more."
"Thank you, senior."
Ian was pleasantly surprised and took it, but didn't open it to look at anything on the spot.
I gave a brief greeting.
Kieran then led Flynn away to the center of the banquet, where, as a teacher, he naturally had to say a few words.
I've briefly explained some points.
Ian opened the box below and glanced inside, his eyes widening as he saw only a crystal the size of a thumb.
The surface has earthy yellow patterns, and inside the crystal is a slowly flowing light, like magma or solidified flame, carrying the heat of fire and the weight and warmth of earth.
There's also a reminder on one side.
"The source of earth and fire, a crystal with both earth and fire attributes. Wearing it can slowly increase the rate at which the resonance of earth and fire attributes increases. A gift from Kylian."
This is great stuff!
Ian remarked that this thing was two levels higher than the elemental dust he usually used.
This is a top-tier resource for a short period of time.
Senior is so generous!
However, Killian quickly left as if he had something urgent to attend to, and the banquet ended an hour later.
Everyone left.
Before Kieran finished speaking, he had a brief conversation with Ian.
"Flynn must have told you something, right?"
"Yes."
"Top five is my requirement for your next performance review. This is important to both me and the department, and it is also a new test for you."
Kieran left immediately after speaking.
test.
Ian naturally understood the significance of those two words; clearly, if he failed to meet them next time, the resources he would receive would likely decrease.
But if it can be achieved, there will likely be resources beyond imagination.
"Top five".
Ian’s eyes flickered. Two years later, he still felt very confident. If being in the top five was enough to pass, what about being in the top three?
He blinked.
What kind of support can be obtained?
Or even higher!
The banquet has ended.
One day later.
Ian fully inherited all of the Chief's authority.
At the same time, they also learned what the third level of the secret realm was like.
"The third level of the secret realm is called the Abyss of Dreams. Unlike the second level, which is filled with a large number of spiritual life forms, the third level is almost devoid of such life forms. This is because life there no longer appears in the form of living beings, but rather in illusions or dreams, like clouds."
Upon entering, the wizard will enter layers of dreams. Through these dreams, the wizard's spiritual power will be enhanced, and they may even gain everything within the dreams, including highly proficient witchcraft and related knowledge.
Inside the wizard's tower, Ian flipped through the documents, his eyes gradually flickering.
In this case.
It seems that the middle-level area can bring him greater benefits.
If he could directly acquire highly proficient witchcraft and knowledge, it would save him so much trouble.
"But there are certain risks involved. If one becomes completely immersed in the dream, one may also become a part of the dream. Therefore, only the top scholars of each academy and second-circle wizards are allowed to enter. For example, the top scholars can only enter once every six months."
Ian also saw the notice.
There's no way around it; if the second level is so dangerous, the third level can't possibly be absolutely safe either.
"but..
'
He recalled his conversation with Flynn, and he had asked some questions as well. As long as it was outside the deep zone, there were generally no major problems.
You can forcibly break free.
"Let's go take a look."
Ian made a decision immediately.
One day later.
Ian returned to the Secret Realm.
"My lord, there is no time limit in the deepest part of the secret realm. This is mainly to ensure the wizard's condition. However, if you feel unwell, you must leave immediately."
A wizard handed Ian a token.
"OK."
Ian nodded.
Soon, led by the wizard, he entered the secret realm again.
But unlike before, this time, the moment he fell into the secret realm, he only felt a burning sensation on his right hand and saw the mark of an academy.
The next second, the mark emitted light.
He was immediately enveloped in four-colored light and then fell into the depths of the secret realm.
Shallow zone.
Middle layer area.
Even in the core area of the middle layer, he saw the Four Symbols Inheritance that attracted him, but unfortunately he was still a long way from achieving 90% completion.
It continued to fall.
at last.
A dozen minutes later.
A new world appeared before Ian's eyes.
Before my eyes seemed to be a new, vast world, with all sorts of colors reflecting each other.
Within this color scheme, objects resembling clouds shimmer with dreamlike hues.
Drifting in a dream.
"It's as if there's no bottom."
His own light shone as he looked deeper into the secret realm, which was also a world that seemed like an abyss. The further he went, the larger the dream seemed to become, and the more space it occupied.
He is currently only at the top level.
Ian did not rush into a dream, but instead used his mental power to search for one that suited him.
Finally, he saw a large number of red lines emerging from a dream.
It's right on the outskirts.
"You are the one!"
Without hesitation, he plunged into it like a shooting star.
I fell into a dream.
