The direction of a wizard apprentice's further study is closely related to his future advancement. The ocean of witchcraft is endless, and people's energy and time are limited. Although curious wizards always desire to learn as much knowledge as possible and master as many spells as possible, in fact, no one can achieve comprehensive development.

The so-called almighty wizard is just a joke.

After all, omnipotence means to a certain extent that it is impossible.

Therefore, the threshold of the second-level wizard has become a watershed. When the wizard apprentice restrains his own magic power and creates a magic pool, they not only obtain physical and magic transformation, but also open up a path of more specialization. They will continue to study in the advanced direction they have determined before, working tirelessly.

Every advancement direction is the result of the hard work and summary of countless predecessors in the wizarding world. On the road to wizarding, knowledge and talent are equally important.

Although Scarlet Castle is known for its abundant blood wizards, it is one of the three large wizard organizations in Ferrondor after all. It has more than twenty advanced directions for wizards to choose from - but there are actually just a few popular advancement directions. Choosing a popular advancement direction means you may take many detours. After all, many mentors are learning these directions. With guidance from the mentor, it is better than blindly exploring it yourself.

As for those unpopular categories, some only have two or three second-level wizards as mentors, and some even the entire Ferrondor cannot find a wizard who is the same professional. In this case, the path of wizard apprenticeship is destined to have many more ups and downs than others.

...

There was a thick stack of materials in front of Lance. These materials were given to him for free by Old Feigan, and they almost covered all the advancement directions of Scarlet Castle.

The more popular the advancement direction, the more complete the information. For example, the advancement direction of [Blood Mage] has more than 100 pages of information for Lance's reference; while those unpopular majors have relatively few information. For example, the advancement direction of Wesley who Lance had met in the Puppet City before, and he chose the advancement direction of [Forbidden Spell Mage]. Lance had almost only a rough description in his hand, and there was not even a specific step to advance!

"A wizard apprentice like Wesley is probably also getting advanced methods of the Forbidden Spell Mage from the family behind it." Lance looked through these materials and couldn't help but guess: "Otherwise, based on the materials given by Scarlet Castle, the Upgrading Forbidden Spell Mage needs to learn the basic knowledge and can't explain it clearly. How can all preparations be completed?"

Lance didn't plan to consider the advancement direction that was so unpopular. He was not Wesley, and he did not have enough power and financial support, so he could only choose to advance to a relatively mature and complete major.

But Lance was not particularly interested in the popular majors in Scarlet Castle.

Take the most popular blood mage as an example. Lance learned that if you want to advance to a blood mage, you must prepare as follows in the apprenticeship stage-

The first stage is the learning of reserved knowledge. (Required)

To advance to the Blood Mage, you need to learn related knowledge such as [Blood Purification and Separation (First Stage)], [Anatomy (Intermediate)], [Vampire and Blood Biology (Simplified Version)], [Sacrifice and Feedback], [Liquid Characteristics Specialization], [Ferrondor Celebrity Biography - Blood Mage Volume], [Vampire Rituals] and other related knowledge. And the assessment and rating reaches B- or above.

The second stage, body transformation. (Essential)

The transformation part of the body includes two parts: the enlargement of the heart and the toughening of blood vessels. At this stage, apprentices must take some special medicinal materials and potions to transform their bodies and make their bodies reach a certain level of strength, so that they can withstand the powerful backlash power of blood spells. You need a heart that is stronger than ordinary people and some blood vessels as strong as steel pipes, so as to ensure that your body is not injured by boiling blood or even disabled when casting.

The third stage is the fusion of ancient bloodlines. (Choose to make)

Fusion of some ancient bloodlines will produce an immeasurable increase in the magic ability of the blood mage. Especially the bloodlines of vampires, ancient mist dragons, snow mountain banshees and other creatures can greatly improve the combat ability of the blood mage.

In the above three stages, as long as you prepare for the first two stages, you will complete the general preparation of the Blood Mage. Once the magic power exceeds 100 points, you can condense the magic pool, break through to the second-level wizard, and become a real Blood Mage.

...

Objectively speaking, Blood Mage is the most popular major in Scarlet Castle, and there is no reason. This major has very powerful combat capabilities. Even after exhausting magic, it can still use some strange secret techniques to use the blood in its body, which makes people unable to defend against. Moreover, over the years of inheritance, Blood Mage has already formed a very complete and mature system. At least choose this direction and you will not worry about not being able to learn advanced knowledge in the future.

But unfortunately, Lance has a natural disgust towards the Blood Mage.

Not only that, another popular major in the castle - the Necromancer, is not under the consideration of Lance.

As a tough-minded visitor to the Earth, Lance felt that he could barely kill and dissect him. However, he was a little difficult to accept by using blood and corpses as the objects of spell study and accompanying him for countless days and nights in the future.

Moreover, extracting his own blood as a spell medium also made Lance feel a little uncomfortable.

"I would rather learn law witchcraft or elemental spells than those who learn blood spells." Lance sighed a little emotion. After all, in terms of attack power, the law witchcraft and elemental spells of Rainbow Island are not much worse than blood spells. Unfortunately, this is Scarlet Castle, not Rainbow Island.

There are only three advances in the castle about elements and laws: [Fire Sword Master], [Star Law Wizard] and [Four Ring Mage]. These three categories are all unpopular, especially for the Fourth Ring Mage who learns the four elemental spells at the same time. In the huge scarlet castle, there is no even a mentor!

When Lance thought of this, he felt a little depressed.

Excluding popular categories and unpopular categories, there are only some advanced categories that seem ordinary. Most of these categories are ordinary. Nine out of ten people who choose these categories are because these categories only require learning a small amount of knowledge - this means a lower advancement cost. After all, learning spells and knowledge in the castle requires a large number of magic stones and resource points.

"These advanced categories have weak combat capabilities. If you are ready to spend your whole life in the castle, you can barely accept it."

Obviously, Lance did not intend to stay in Scarlet Castle for the rest of his life. As a time traveler, he had his own ambitions.

"What direction should I choose?" Lance turned the information page by page.

He turned most of the information to the other side. At this moment, an old yellowed information suddenly flashed in the white information page.

"Hmm? This advanced classification seems interesting..."

Lance's eyes lit up and pulled the parchment out of the pile of information.

...

Scarlet Castle, the second floor lobby of the Apprentice Management Center.

"New self-paid student? Fill out the form on the side." A girl with short red hair simply threw out a form. She also reminded Lance: "Use your nameplate, this will be faster."

Lance nodded. He spread the table flat on the counter and printed his nameplate in the upper right corner of the table.

A blue light flashed, and several lines of information about Lance were automatically filled in on the form.

There are still a few blank spaces below the form that he needs to fill in by himself.

He carried the quill on the counter, dipped it in a little ink, and quickly wrote down the messages.

"Give it." Lance handed over the form.

The girl took the form and said to herself: "Lance Ryan? There are few freshmen joining this season. Let me see what direction you are going to choose..."

The red-haired girl looked down and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she still finished reading the entire form, then wrote a voucher, and handed it to Lance after stamping it: "In three days, until two weeks, you can come to me to choose your mentor... Take this voucher and go to the first floor to find the administrator, and he will give you the standard outfit for self-paying."

Lance thanked the girl and turned around and left.

The girl looked at Lance's back with some playful thoughts and murmured: "What a weird person... No one has chosen this category for a long time, right?"

The girl smiled at herself, glanced at the advancement direction on the table again.

I saw a phrase written on the white paper—

【Magnetic Storm Mage】.
