Originally, as an apprentice of Saine, the first High-Level Magic Item - Crimson Mask that I made was shattered and damaged. →

It's impossible to say that I don't feel distressed.

After all, in addition to the wisdom of Saine, it also included several months of his time.

However, in addition to feeling distressed and annoyed, Saine also had a touch of excitement and dissatisfaction.

The idea of engraving the advanced version of Sun's Eye Magic into the mask is indeed achievable.

This can be proven by the fact that Saine has been successfully engraved into two Sun's Eye nodes.

However, the super elemental properties of Sun's Eye Magic indicate that its requirements for material carriers are also very strict.

Saine This Crimson Mask is already a prop specially prepared and enhanced by Saine. It can only withstand the light of two Sun's Eye and Fire Element.

"It is not realistic for me at this stage to engrave thirty-six Sun's Eye on the mask."

"But I can definitely engrave six of them first, plus the Sun's Eye Magic I have, that's the firepower of twelve."

"If the two are launched at the same time, it is very likely that even the Formal Magician-level existence will be threatened!" Saine said excitedly.

Saine behaved like a crazy alchemist at this time.

Faced with Serena's concern and inquiry, Saine didn't have the energy to answer, but muttered to himself.

However, Saine's brain was not damaged in the experimental accident just now.

Instead, his mind was running at high speed.

This is a bold attempt by a talented apprentice to combine the magic he has learned with alchemy.

The power of the original six Sun's Eyes was already amazing enough, comparable to the power methods mastered by the Formal Magicians.

And when twelve Sun's Eye appeared, I really couldn't imagine what the scene would be like?

Is this still a power that can be mastered at the apprentice level?

He didn't even have time to say hello to Serena. After Clean Spell cleaned up Magic Robe and the blackened skin, Saine hurriedly ran out of the dormitory.

He now urgently needs to go to Trading District outside Holy Tower to buy a batch of light and fire magic materials that he will use in his next experiment, as well as a large amount of magic metal.

In fact, you can also buy related materials in the commercial street in the Holy Tower Academy, but Saine found that the things sold in the college are too expensive...

Although he has money, he is not interested in wasting it like this.

Especially feeling the magic more and more

After the hardships of exploration and the exaggerated amount of financial, material and energy investment required in the process, Saine was not willing to waste any of it.

Of course, buying items outside the Holy Tower Academy has a layer of special features that cannot be compared with the stores in the academy.

That is, the commercial streets outside Holy Tower are a mixed bag of good and bad. Without enough discernment, it is very likely to buy defective products or even counterfeit goods.

The shops in the academy are all exclusive to Holy Tower, or are regular magic shops certified by Holy Tower.

If an apprentice buys fake or defective products in the academy, there is no need for the apprentice to come forward. Holy Tower will naturally seek justice for the purchaser and demand relevant compensation.

As an alchemist, Saine still believes in his own eyesight.

If even he can mislead him, then Saine doesn't have to bother with Sun's Eye's magic engraving. Let's go back and relearn the basics of alchemy first.

After searching the commercial area outside Holy Tower for several days, Saine found most of the alchemy materials he needed.

In addition to these alchemical materials, Saine later went to Holy Tower Library, where he immersed himself in reading a lot of information related to magic array patterns.

After all preparation conditions were met, Saine reinvested in Alchemy Experiment.

During this period, Saine spent more than half a year just looking up the information.

In the laboratory, Saine in front of the alchemy table took a deep breath and started the second production of "Sun's Eye Mask".

The last time Crimson Mask broke apart, it can be regarded as a summary of many experiences and lessons for Saine.

Saine, who returned to the experiment, has a lot more confidence and confidence than last time.

As for whether it can be successful...

Saine did some calculations and found that it should be 60 to 70 percent. This was already a high number, and it was worth his while!

The process of studying magic, exploring Truth, and delving into the mysteries of alchemy makes it easy for people to ignore the passage of time.

When Saine devoted himself to the research of Sun's Eye Mask without sleep and food, more than three years had passed without knowing it.

Three years later, Azure Source Holy Tower Academy.

Compared with previous years, this year's Azure Source Holy Tower Academy has a more tense atmosphere.

Including the number of apprentices in the college, it is also much more than in previous years.

The enrollment period for Holy Tower has not yet come. The reason for this situation is that Regional Holy Tower Academy War, which is held once every 50 years, will be held in half a year.

Azure Source Holy Tower's apprentices, although most of them are not very old.

But after all, there are some veteran apprentices who participated in the last Regional Holy Tower Academy War.

These old apprentices are now basically senior apprentices and above, and there are few lower than this level.

Even these veteran apprentices, who are at the top level of the academy's apprenticeship field, look at Regional Holy Tower Academy War with a change of expression and lingering fears.

One can imagine how much pressure the top-down approach will put on the ordinary apprentices of Azure Source Holy Tower.

Some apprentices even spread rumors and regarded Regional Holy Tower Academy War as a meat grinding ground that caused the deaths of apprentices in large numbers.

It is true that in previous Regional Holy Tower Academy Wars, a certain proportion of apprentices died in each Holy Tower Academy, but it was not exaggerated to such a serious extent.

Azure Source Holy Tower trains these apprentices not to send them to death.

The original intention of Regional Holy Tower Academy War is also to hone and select better apprentices.

To supplement future talents for Formal Magician and Magician Legion among Plane War.

As for Holy Tower, these apprentices participating in Regional Holy Tower Academy War will even be given one-time life-saving props.

When they encounter an enemy that is difficult to resist, they can escape from Trial Zone in time.

But despite such protection, the apprenticeship loss rate of each major Holy Tower Academy War and Holy Tower is still as high as 20 to 30%.

Azure Source Holy Tower is even worse... because it has a very hidden background, and unlike other Holy Tower Academy, the proportion of outstanding apprentice seeds is not as high.

In the last Regional Holy Tower Academy War, the apprenticeship loss rate of Azure Source Holy Tower was already close to 40%.

No wonder so many veteran apprentices are so displeased when talking about Regional Holy Tower Academy War. Isn't the nearly half of the loss mortality rate just one foot in the door of hell?

Of course, the benefits of participating in Regional Holy Tower Academy War are also very obvious.

After each time Regional Holy Tower Academy War ends, the Formal Magician breakthrough volume of major Holy Tower will usher in a period of surge, and Azure Source Holy Tower is no exception.

Moreover, any apprentice who can persist to the end in Regional Holy Tower Academy War will receive a valuable reward.

These rewards are directly linked to Academy Points, Energy Crystal and even Magic Coin.

If you rank high, the rewards will be so generous that they will even be coveted by Formal Magicians above the first level.
