56: Chapter 56: The Legend, and the "First Ring"

Ross is a smart person.

As Ross was not a native of the Wizard World,

he was very sensitive to such subtle changes.

Just as Ross was waiting for Wizard Ian's next move,

he saw that Ian, who was communicating with the three of Ross ahead, had the brim of his slanted wizard's hat twitching for a while.

His reaction was extremely fast, and his spellcasting speed was so fast that Ross couldn't react in time. About three minutes later,

Ian's wizard hat calmed down, but it seemed he was somewhat unsatisfied.

"Hmm? Little Wizard Apprentices, your encounter this time must still be somewhat thrilling for apprentices."

While casting spells, Ian did not forget to talk to the three of Ross.

It's just that the spellcasting in his hands became faster and faster, and his voice went from being slightly anxious at first to slow and steady.

Ross stepped forward at this time and said,

"Lord Ian, fortunately you rescued us in time. The three of us are trainees who went out this time to investigate the missing miners incident in Boulder Town."

Edmund also stepped forward at this time and said,

"Yes, Lord Ian. Also, after Ross fell into danger, my sister and I discovered the existence of a spatial rift in the mine. Then, I released my pet to transmit information to the academy."

Hearing this, Wizard Ian stopped the movements in his hands. He raised his head, revealing a very young face, and said with some surprise:

"I didn't expect that besides urging me to rescue, there was also the existence of a "secret realm". The academy and I only thought that the mine had intersected with some region of the Wizard World."

Ian coughed, trying hard to put on the dignity of an Official First-Ring Wizard. At this moment, he seemed to only just remember his identity.

He stopped casting spells.

Then, out of Ian's magic hat, a petite "Ghoul" was spit out.

That is, the huge Ghoul with Official Wizard-level strength just now.

At this time, this "petite version of the Ghoul" seemed as if its energy had been sucked dry, lying limply on the ground.

The original rotten corpse stench belonging to the Ghoul on its body was wrapped in a layer of faint light.

Even its entire body was soaking wet, as if it had been licked by a cow's tongue.

Wizard Ian muttered a sentence: "It seems this Ghoul is truly the core of this secret realm. But..."

Ian looked at the puzzled three of Ross and explained:

"Alright, the three of you are also participants in the "secret realm" that appeared in Boulder Town this time. Some knowledge about "secret realms" was originally supposed to be something you would only come into contact with when you reached Level 1 Wizard Apprentices. Now I will tell you all at once..."

As it turned out, "secret realms" in the Wizard World generally only had three situations.

One is ancient ruins or some relic spaces buried in the long river of history.

Another is the otherworldly fragment that the Wizard World is currently "digesting", which Ross encountered this time.

"As for the third one, you will naturally know when you reach the threshold of a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice, which is 3000 mental power."

Regarding the third situation, Ian still left a suspense.

However, Ross didn't care about his reservation. After all, reaching a Level 1 Wizard Apprentice was not a difficult thing for himself.

Haven't I already broken through to the threshold of a Level 2 Wizard Apprentice in a short period of time?

My promotion speed, I wouldn't dare say it's number one, but I'm afraid other Wizard Apprentices couldn't catch up even by whipping their horses.

"However, we still need to deal with this "Ghoul" right now."

Ian's voice reached the ears of the three of Ross.

The three of them also hurriedly responded and asked to just say if there was anything they needed to contribute.

Turns out, as the core of this "secret realm", the strength of this Ghoul not only relied on this wasteland.

It could reach the "Legendary" realm, which was the strength of a First-Ring Wizard.

Of course, through Ian's explanation, Ross also knew.

A First-Ring Wizard in the Wizard World benchmarking against the strength in other worlds is the "Legendary" realm, which of course is only a relative comparison.

In fact, these otherworldly creatures, in their own native worlds,

relying on the source power of the world, could exert a power level similar to a "First-Ring Wizard" of the Wizard World.

And although a First-Ring Wizard going to another world would be suppressed by the world consciousness of that otherworldly world,

the two sides were still as different as heaven and earth.

Let alone, this Legendary Ghoul, like a "lost dog", its world had already been defeated at the hands of wizards.

The consciousness of the Legendary Ghoul had been almost wiped out by the consciousness of the Wizard World.

Not to mention, in the Wizard World, Ian could display the maximum degree of strength.

Taking down this Legendary Ghoul appeared so effortless.

Otherwise, if this Legendary Ghoul was in its original world,

relying on the source power of the world, the "Legendary" realm, no matter in which world, would still be considered a minor character.

Even in the Wizard World where experts are as numerous as clouds, it seemed to only correspond to a "First-Ring Wizard".

However, you must know that even becoming a "First-Ring Wizard" in the Wizard World is something out of reach for countless people.

A First-Ring Wizard, whether in status or power, far transcends the upper limits of other extraordinary paths or extraordinary bloodlines in the Wizard World.

Therefore, it also once again corroborates the cruelty of plane wars from the side.

The Wizard World has never been a quiet and peaceful world; its growth is accompanied by war and invasion.

Wizards have never denied their own aggressiveness.

However, as the Wizard World encounters different civilizations and worlds,

there have been some changes after all.

Originally, wizards would directly smash the otherworldly worlds they encountered and integrate them into the Wizard World, along with their native inhabitants.

branding the natives as slaves and selling them to the slave markets of their own world for digestion.

But nowadays, as long as the opponent world is willing to accept the leadership of wizards,

although these worlds will lose their autonomous status, and their world consciousness will be controlled or destroyed by wizards,

the natives within the world will not be branded as slaves; only the first generation will be objects of strict supervision by wizards.

After two or three generations, when the natives of the otherworldly world have completely integrated into the society of the Wizard World, they will have equal rights, just like ordinary mortals in the Wizard World.

However, some of these otherworldly natives can unify the will within their world, while others are forever unable to integrate into the Wizard World.

Those who stubbornly resist or whose will to resistance is never extinguished will have their worlds shattered by the powerhouses of the Wizard World and integrated into the Wizard World.

This method of integration will still cause quite a loss of benefits for wizards.

If these otherworldly worlds can normally and slowly integrate naturally with the Wizard World like bubbles, wizards can not only save a lot of effort,

but the original source power of the otherworldly world can also perfectly integrate into the source of the Wizard World.

Unfortunately, this "Legendary Ghoul" before them also represents that things did not go according to the script.

But this is the most common situation; many worlds and planes end up in a mutually destructive showdown.

Also because this Legendary Ghoul lost a certain "support" from its original world, it appeared extremely weak.

Otherwise, even with the strength of a First-Ring Wizard, Ian would not have captured a captive with "same-level" combat power so easily.
