Weird Wizarding World

  Chapter 171 The Athos Society

   As Lilian's palm touched the skin of the ancient tree.

   In the next second, something came invisibly, and a powerful aura enveloped it, causing Colin to feel a burst of heart palpitations.

  The ancient tree seemed to come to life, the dense branches and leaves swayed and rubbed, making a fine rustling sound.

   "What's the matter, Lillian?"

   The indifferent and majestic voice sounded from the ancient tree, as if a king wearing a crown was asking a question.

   For some reason, this voice... Colin always felt a little familiar.

   Could it be...?

   In the next second, Lillian's words verified his conjecture.

   "Teacher." Lillian greeted first, then paused and said briefly:

   "Colin may be a genius seed."

"Oh?"

  The rough and ancient skin of the big tree is like a calm water being thrown into stones and slowly fluctuating.

   A huge, lifelike face emerges on it.

   Exactly what Atbold looked like...just more youthful and majestic.

   Colin's pupils suddenly shrank.

   is not only because of Atbold's strange appearance, but also because Atbold's powerful power far exceeds his normal state.

The moment   's face appeared, he felt his heart tighten, as if being grasped by invisible claws, and he might lose his life at any time, so he couldn't help but stand on end.

   Such a sense of threat... He only felt it on the ice crystal female teacher when he went to the castle classroom to find Lilian before.

   And that female teacher... is a third-order wizard.

   "Tell me about it carefully." Atbold asked on the ancient tree, his lips moving slightly.

  's voice was indifferent... From Colin's point of view, it always seemed a little less human, as if it were a machine.

   "Okay, Tutor." Lillian replied.

   Then, she told Artbold about Colin's situation.

  …

   "Is the meditation method compatible with the Xisheng meditation method..."

   Atbold said, "It's such a coincidence."

   Having said that, he was only surprised, not suspicious.

   After all, although such a situation is rare, it is not impossible.

   Not necessarily, Colin was the founding wizard who joined the school, and he used to be a member of the school affiliated to the Xisheng School.

  The cool midsummer wind blows slowly, rustling the leaves above Atbold.

   "Colin."

   Atbold retracted his thoughts and shouted slowly.

   "Teacher, I'm here." Colin replied respectfully, his face slightly pale.

   "Relax your body and mind." Atbold continued, "Let me take a closer look at you."

  Colin's complexion changed slightly, not because he was afraid of being seen, but just a normal resistance to this kind of inspection.

   But he had no choice and no room for resistance.

   Before he could react, a touch of gold suddenly spread over Atbold's huge eyes that were originally wood-colored.

   Then, a gaze that seemed to penetrate everything fell on Colin, making him uneasy for a while.

   But soon, Colin was relieved again.

   He could clearly feel that Atbold's gaze was only on the surface of his body, and he did not go deep into it, nor did he look at key positions such as the spiritual sea or the magic sea.

"what……"

   Atbold let out a surprised whisper.

   "Colin, are you sure you are a senior wizard apprentice who advanced on a remote island?"

   "Instead of continents, or rather populous kingdom centers?"

   Atbold asked suspiciously, his indifferent tone was a little looser and more human.

   "..." Colin hesitated, "I'm sure, Instructor Atbold."

   "Yeah." Atbold replied softly and praised:

   "It seems that you have a very thorough grasp of the knowledge of the original meditation method... Otherwise, if you advance to a remote island in the sea, human nature and knowledge will not be so pure."

   "In fact, with such a pure aura of human nature and knowledge, even if you change the meditation method, you probably don't have to worry about Arkent turbidity... It will only slightly affect the aptitude of magic."

  Colin was silent, just listening respectfully.

  Arkent's turbidity... This is obviously what he has always wanted to know, why the low quality of human nature and knowledge aura and the poor compatibility of changing the meditation method will have such a big impact.

   Is it turbid...

   As for his humanity and knowledge, his aura is relatively pure.

   In fact, he had expected it from the beginning.

   also expects that he may directly change the meditation method, and the negative impact on himself will not be so great.

   But he dared not gamble...

   Not to mention, changing the meditation method will also affect the aptitude. Although it is not big, it has an impact after all.

   It took three months to completely eliminate such effects, and it was worth it anyway.

   "Teacher, according to Colin's qualifications... Maybe this year's Azius meeting, we can get a spot for him."

   Lilian suddenly suggested from the side.

  ‘Athius? ’

   Another thing he hadn't heard of...

  Colin remained silent, turning his ears to concentrate and continue to listen.

   But this time, Atbold was silent for significantly longer before speaking.

  The summer wind is blowing constantly, the large green grass is like waves, and the leaves are rustling.

   Lillian didn't urge, just kept a serious look and waited silently.

  I don't know how long it took before Atbold's voice came slowly.

   "Lilian, are you sure?"

   "I'm sure!" Lilian said without hesitation.

   Atbold sighed slightly, and finally replied:

"Can."

   "There are still three months before the Athos meeting. During this time, you should train more with Corinth."

   As soon as he finished speaking, his huge face closed his eyes and slowly sank into the ancient tree.

   "It's... grandfather." Lillian said softly.

  Although Atbold agreed to her, but seeing Atbold's sinking face, her mood was not as happy as she thought at first.

   "Let's go."

   She restrained her emotions and left Atbold's residence with Colin.

   Get out of the house and walk on the school road.

  Colin finally couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, turned his head and asked Lillian:

   "Lillian-senpai... Then what exactly is the Atis Society?"

  Lilian's footsteps paused for a while, and after a moment of indulgence, she said:

   "Do you know the talent seeds? The talent seeds of advanced formal wizards."

   "Yes." Colin nodded, "I just asked Mentor Atbold a few days ago."

   "Then do you know that there are different qualities of talent seeds?"

  Lilian nodded, and continued to ask while walking forward.

   "..." Colin shook his head, followed Lillian's footsteps, and then replied, "I haven't heard of it."

   The information that Atebold gave him only said that advanced formal wizards need to plant the seeds of talent.

   But it didn't mention that there are different qualities of talent seeds... But the methods and materials above the meditation method only provide one.

   Will the quality of the talent seeds cultivated by the same method and materials be different?

   Could it be the same as the talents hatched later, it mainly depends on the wizard himself...

  Thinking of this, Colin turned his head in confusion and asked Lilian again.

   "Doesn't the type and effect of talent after the advanced formal wizard mainly depend on the wizard himself?"

   "It really depends on the wizard himself." Lilian affirmed.

   "When the materials used in meditation and breakthrough are not very different, the only reason that affects the strength of talent and the effect of talent seeds is the wizard itself."

   But then she changed her voice and added:

   "But in fact, the selection of advanced formal wizard materials will also affect the talents after advanced.

   On the other hand, the wizards themselves can also be changed. "

   "The two changes can indirectly affect the strength of the talent seed, that is, it can affect the strength of the talent."

  Lillian turned to look at Colin and said:

   "Didn't you just ask me where I can find the best materials for cultivating talent seeds?"

   Colin was slightly taken aback.

   I clearly asked where it would be better to buy materials for cultivating talents...

   But this is not the point, he did not refute, but listened to Lillian continue to tell.

   "If you want to get better materials for nurturing talent, the Atius Society is one of them."

   "But...the materials for cultivating the seeds of talent should be different for different meditation methods, right? Did the Atis Society prepare the best materials for cultivating the seeds of talent with all the meditation methods?"

   Colin asked suspiciously.

   "Of course not." Lillian shook her head, "Only our school's tin saint meditation method...or the materials for cultivating the seeds of talent from the top schools in the wizarding city can be found at the Atis Society."

   "Also, the quality of the Atius meeting will be much better than usual."

   "So it is." Colin nodded and asked.

   "So the content of the Athos Club is to compete for the best materials for cultivating talents, which will help us to obtain good talents after entering the formal wizards?"

   Lilian shook her head and stopped slowly, at this time they had already left the school.

   "The best materials for cultivating the seeds of talent are only a trivial part of what Azius would do."

  Lillian looked at Colin and said.

   "But you guessed it right, the main purpose of the Atis Society is indeed to help the top group of wizard apprentices under the Supreme Council to gain better talents after advancing to the official wizards."

   "This kind of help is not based on better materials for cultivating talents, but on improving the wizards themselves."

   "How to improve specifically...you'll know when the time comes."

   Having said that, Lily settled down and added:

   "But you don't have to expect too much... The apprentices of our faction have not been qualified to participate in the Atis Society for a long time."

   Her tone was as plain as ever, but the unwillingness hidden under the plainness was as conspicuous as the green in the desert.

   Colin was slightly startled and asked:

   "Is it difficult to obtain the qualification to participate in the Azius Club?"

   Lilian shook her head, her face was obviously hesitant, but the next second, she still said frankly:

   "The vast majority of the sects of the Xisheng school more or less have at least one or two qualifications to participate in the Athos Society each year."

   "Well, in fact, most of the apprentices in the school can get a qualification to participate in the Athos Society once they are ready to advance to the formal wizard."

   "It's just that our faction is special... Generally speaking, we are not assigned the qualifications to participate in the Athos Society."

  Lillian's words, this is the end.

   As for why it was special, she didn't explain... Colin naturally didn't ask too much.

   Silence fell between the two.

  Colin thought to himself in his heart.

  ‘This so-called Atis Society is actually more like a process that every advanced senior wizard apprentice in the school must go through...or a resource. ’

  ‘The benefits are also very simple, and they are already on the bright side. ’

  ‘Participating in the Atis Society will give you the opportunity to gain better talents after advancing.

   If you do not participate, you will naturally not get better materials for cultivating talent seeds, and you will not be able to improve yourself. ’

  Thinking of this, Colin secretly sighed.

   Now he finally understood the inconvenience of Atbold's faction.

   was originally an opportunity that every apprentice could basically have, but it doesn’t seem so easy to get here.

   It's even possible that you don't even have the qualifications to participate...

   As for whether or not he wants to participate in the Atis meeting... Of course he does!

   The original owner's aptitude is not good. If his talent is not golden, I am afraid that he is not a genius.

  If you can guarantee that your talent will be better after you advance to a formal wizard, then there is no reason not to go.

unless……

   His eyes flickered, and suddenly he asked Lillian who was beside him.

   "Lillian-senpai, participating in the Atis Society...will it be life-threatening? Are all the apprentices fighting with each other to come out on top?"

   This time it was Lilian's turn to be stunned, she said suspiciously:

"of course not!"

   "All wizard apprentices are important fresh blood of the wizarding union, how can you kill each other?!"

   Colin paused, and touched his nose in embarrassment.

   "It seems that too."

  This world is dangerous, weird and rampant.

   But fighting is generally not allowed in the wizarding school, let alone one that hurts lives.

   It was the same in the Lapp School before. If you want to fight, the only way to go is duel, and there are many restrictions.

  ‘…I don’t know why it is so stipulated? ’

  Colin suddenly had such doubts in his heart.

   "But life-threatening...it does exist," Lillian added.

   "According to the situation in previous years, the loss rate of senior wizard apprentices is about one percent."

  Lillian glanced at Colin and continued.

   "You came from the far sea in the south, and you traveled across the ocean along the way. You must have encountered a lot of dangers... You should have some understanding of the dangers in this world."

   "We wizards, although more powerful than mortals, are not invincible... Even ordinary cultivation may become alienated and degenerate. It is normal to participate in the Atis Society, and it is normal for life to be in danger."

   Colin nodded in agreement.

   "I'll be here today, and I'll wait for the instructor to confirm tomorrow. If I can get you to participate, I'll come back to you."

   Lilian said.

   "Okay." Colin responded, said goodbye to her, stopped a stagecoach, and returned home with mixed feelings.
