Chapter 2: The Second Generation Wizard's Thoughts
[Third time travel loading...]
[Settlement of previous life is in progress... accumulating score...]
Based on achievements in the previous life, the overall rating is C+, and the reward is the talent "Wizard-like Thinking".
In the darkness, Su En vaguely heard a notification about the settlement of rewards.
But then a series of urgent calls forced his consciousness to snap out of its daze.
"Ian, it's your turn. Hurry up and get your qualifications checked!"
Feeling someone push him from behind, Su En instinctively took a step forward.
"Ian Lister, it's your turn."
With a cold shout, Suen looked up and saw the familiar crystal pillar and gray wizard's robe.
"I've been reborn!"
Reacting quickly, Su En, with a nervous heart, placed her hand on the crystal pillar.
The crystal pillar has six sections. The higher the lit crystal pillar is, the better the wizard's aptitude.
"In my previous life, Ulysses lit up the two bottom sections of the crystal pillar, thus gaining permission to enter the Wizard's Tower. So what about me in this life?"
The moment he placed his hand on it, the crystal pillar began to change.
A faint red tinge appeared at the base of the crystal pillar.
"Is it an affinity for fire elements?"
Lauter, the wizard apprentice standing to the side, relaxed his brow and looked at the dawdling boy with a bit more pleasing eyes.
Recruiting apprentices in the Abandoned Land is a mandatory task issued by the Tower.
Almost every place where a formal wizard is born receives this kind of treatment.
Each mission rewards 20 points, but requires bringing back at least 10 qualified new students.
In Lauter's mind, in this abandoned land where magical energy has been depleted, the elemental energy in the air is extremely thin.
It's already a miracle that a wizard as great as Lord Ulysses could appear; to expect to gather 10 people to complete the mission is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
At the last stop, only 8 people barely met the requirements.
"However, I was lucky enough to snag a level two qualification, so I guess the Silver Moon is smiling on me."
Lauter sighed and stared at Suen's test results.
Fiery red light danced and climbed within the crystal pillar, section by section...
Ultimately, the game ended after two and a half quarters.
"A fourth-level intermediate qualification, barely meeting the requirements."
Lauter breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the long queue, and felt a little more at ease.
"qualified."
He nodded, gesturing for Suen to stand behind him.
There were several other boys and girls, around the same age as Su En in this life, looking at him with different expressions.
"Hello, Ian! I am Ross from the Alvin family. My maternal grandmother was from the Lister family, so we are relatives."
A blond, blue-eyed boy stepped forward and extended his hand to Su En.
Only then did Su En begin to process the memories of this life.
Silver Moon Calendar 1507.
"This is my fourth son, Lucius's great-grandson. The Lister family has now risen to the rank of marquis, with influence spanning most of the Black Mountain province..."
More than a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. The family has not only not declined, but has become increasingly prosperous, which greatly surprised Su En.
He had once speculated that the mechanism of the hourglass of time might be to trace back along the power of bloodline, and now he was absolutely certain of it.
"It seems that in this life, I not only have to cultivate myself into a wizard, but also support the development of my family..."
Su En pondered to himself, but did not notice the boy's expression twitch.
He only snapped out of his daze when he realized the atmosphere around him was off, and quickly grasped the other person's hand that was hanging in the air.
"Hello, Ian Lister!"
At this point, the smile on Ross's face had almost disappeared, and he replied indifferently, "We are all Icathians. I hope we can help each other once we reach the Wizard Tower at the border."
"Border area?"
Suen was secretly surprised; the area where the tower was located was called the Borderlands.
"Yes, the Wizard Tower is located between the abyss and the mortal continent... Never mind, you'll understand later."
Ross suddenly stopped, crossed his arms over his chest, and said devoutly, "Thank you, great Lord Ulysses, otherwise we would not have had the opportunity to reach the border."
Su En stood there, stunned, her thoughts racing.
Ulysses was still alive and had become a hero of Icathia.
This means that he has been on the path of wizardry for a long time.
In an instant, Suen's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts, but then, thinking that he had finally acquired the qualifications of a wizard in this life, his mind returned to calm.
Before him, a glittering hourglass of time hung in the air.
Wizard-like thinking
[Rank: Silver]
[Effect: Gain extensive knowledge and memory, develop discernment, and acquire a wizard's way of thinking]
"Photographic memory... a stronger understanding?"
Suen murmured to himself, it seemed that this talent was what gave him the aptitude to become a wizard.
He looked at the runes at the bottom of the hourglass, which had now turned a dull color and were slowly accumulating the power of time.
"We should keep a low profile until the hourglass of time is restored."
Suen clarified the situation and turned her attention back to reality.
At present, family bloodline is very important to him.
Now that he has the opportunity to learn witchcraft, he must secretly support the growth and expansion of his family.
In this life, Suen's spiritual talent barely passed the minimum requirement, which was not a perfect start for someone like her who could regenerate infinitely.
The rebirth mechanism of the hourglass increases the influence weight of the family.
In a sense, Suen's interests and the development of his family are inextricably linked and are inherited from one another.
A rising family can become the foundation upon which Suen accumulates his strength.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and felt boundless motivation within him.
"The border region, here I come!"
As the test concluded, Suen learned that a girl named Selena possessed second-class wizarding qualifications.
Judging from the look of surprise on the wizard Lautel's face, one Selena might be worth more than all of them combined.
During the conversation, their tone unconsciously became more intimate.
Rose, in particular, had an obvious and ambiguous relationship with Selena.
While waiting for their parents to arrive, Ross and a few others formed a small group, agreeing to help each other and exchange information.
Suen urgently needed more information, so naturally she wouldn't object.
His father, Lawrence Lister, came to pick him up and gave Suen a warm bear hug.
"That's wonderful, Ian, my son!"
"You have fulfilled the family's long-cherished wish; finally, someone can become a wizard!"
"Beginning with our great-great-grandfather Sue Lister, becoming a wizard has always been the dream of our Lister family. And you are the first person to realize that dream."
……
Faced with the care and concern of his juniors, even with the accumulation of experience from several lifetimes, Su En was somewhat overwhelmed at this moment.
Fortunately, the wizard Lautel didn't give them much time to celebrate.
"Alright, everyone's ready to go. Let's meet at the Glory Square in memory of Lord Ulysses!"
Upon hearing the wizard's words, the parents, though reluctant to part, had no choice but to say goodbye with heavy hearts for the sake of their children's bright future.
"In memory of Ulysses? What exactly did he do...?"
Suen became increasingly curious about this old friend from her previous life.
