The Wizarding World: Throne of Frost

At this time, Renault had already made up his mind. He would never agree to any of the three invitations.

Because in his opinion, the advanced meditation method was what he needed most urgently, which could help him improve his strength and break through the bottleneck faster;

And freedom was also extremely precious and indispensable, and he was unwilling to be bound and restricted too much.

But Renault would not expose his true intentions so easily.

He frowned slightly, pretending to be thoughtful, sometimes lowering his head to think, and sometimes looking up to stare into the distance, as if he was weighing the pros and cons and making a difficult decision.

Although he had already made up his mind, he still pretended to be hesitant on the surface.

After careful consideration, Renault finally raised his head slowly and looked firmly at the mentor Klein standing in front of him.

He took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and said solemnly: "Teacher, I am still young and have a long way to go in the future, so there is still enough time to explore more unknown possibilities."

"So, I hope to find advanced meditation methods on my own. Of course, if I fail to achieve my wish in the end, I will re-examine and seriously consider these invitations."

Teacher Klein did not seem surprised to hear what Renault said. He just smiled slightly, then nodded slightly, expressing his understanding and agreement.

He responded slowly: "In fact, I can guess your idea a long time ago. After all, for anyone who has dreams and desires freedom, they don't want to be bound too early."

"Don't worry, kid, I will politely reject these invitations for you. As for how to make a choice in the future, you will decide when the time is right."

Renault stood there respectfully, bowed slightly and listened to the words of Teacher Klein. After listening, he raised his head, looked at the mentor sincerely and gratefully, and said in a respectful voice: "Thank you, mentor!"

Mentor Klein nodded with a smile, indicating that he was satisfied with Renault's response. Then, he gently waved his hand, indicating that Renault could leave.

Renault understood, bowed to the mentor again, turned around and walked out of the Klein mentor's laboratory with steady steps.

You know, if Renault had not participated in this apprentice trial, then neither the Crow's Nest Academy nor those powerful families would be so eager to expect him to become a formal wizard as soon as possible and join their ranks.

All along, the Crow's Nest Academy usually regards wizard apprentices like Renault who have become peak apprentices as seed players for the next apprentice trial.

However, there is still a full ten years before the next apprentice trial. During this long period of time, Renault has no need to stagnate and stay at the peak apprentice stage.

After a series of events that just happened, Renault deeply realized that it was time for him to find a meditation method that was truly suitable for his situation.

Because only by finding such a meditation method could he make further progress on the road of cultivation and continuously improve his strength.

And at this critical moment, the relevant information obtained from the spirit body undoubtedly became a rare opportunity.

However, in addition to this, there was another important opportunity that was presented to Renault, that is, the agreement reached with Lucas.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, a month had passed.

On this day, Renault was wearing a dark shadow cloak that tightly wrapped him. His pale mask, as pale as snow, covered his face like a ghost, making it difficult for people to peek into his true face.

In this way, he appeared silently on the shore of a quiet lake in the south of the Black Forest.

The area of ​​this lake is not large, but it exudes a unique and strange charm.

The lake surface was as calm as a mirror, but it was actually a purple lake, which made the whole lake look like a dazzling purple gem inlaid in the earth.

Because of this, people gave it a vivid name - Purple Water Lake.

So why does the lake water appear so charming purple? After some exploration, it was found that this seemingly beautiful lake was actually highly toxic.

What is even more surprising is that these toxins are not caused by humans, but are completely bred by nature.

Due to the intense toxicity of the lake water, most organisms cannot survive and reproduce here.

However, in such a harsh environment, there is still a magical creature that survived tenaciously.

They are transparent, small and exquisite shrimps. Because of their unique appearance and living environment, they are called "transparent shrimps".

It is worth mentioning that although these transparent shrimps are small in size, they are one of the indispensable extraordinary materials for making basic detoxification potions.

Renault walked slowly towards the lake with a steady pace. When he came to the lake, one by one, slender and upright figures had already stood there quietly. This person is none other than the top apprentice, Lucas.

Lucas was wearing a black robe, his long golden hair casually draped over his shoulders, and his handsome face was filled with confidence and calmness.

When he saw the figure wearing a pale mask approaching, his originally calm eyes instantly flashed with a hint of surprise.

Then, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a warm smile, and he immediately said: "No need to wear that mask anymore, I know you are Renault."

Hearing Lucas's affirmative words, Renault was slightly startled at first, but then he reached out and gently took off the pale mask on his face.

Under the mask, his resolute and slightly immature face was fully revealed. Renault looked at Lucas, with a hint of surprise and confusion in his eyes.

Before he could ask, Lucas continued to explain with a smile: "My mentor, Sima, has told me everything about you."

"I didn't expect that you have been hiding so deeply all this time, and even our peers have been kept in the dark by you."

"What's even more unexpected is that you have grown so fast that even I, a wizard apprentice with fifth-level qualifications, can't compare with you!"

"You're too kind, actually I'm really nothing special, it's just that my luck is a little bit better!" Renault's face was as calm as water, and he responded to the other party's praise in a calm tone.

After a slight pause, he couldn't wait to ask Lucas beside him: "Lucas, where are we going next?"
