Wizard: I want to be a top student

More than three years ago, due to some special reasons, the superiors ordered to stop the excavation of the Dodd Magic Stone Mine. All the miners withdrew and it has been sealed up until now.

The seventh team is only responsible for guarding the perimeter and monitoring the protective formation for any changes. They don't know much about the internal situation of the magic stone mine.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will take people inside to find out. They may stay for several months."

After listening to Captain Piccolo's story, Ivan took Locke straight to the entrance of the magic stone mine.

Wizards are human beings too. There are 11 people in the 7th team. They have been guarding this wilderness all year round, and they will feel a little bit resentful. In addition, the people in the City Lord's Mansion have the arrogance of the City Lord's Mansion, so they are really not afraid of the identity of the second-level wizard. .

If ordinary people came to take over the model mine, Piccolo and others would definitely not be so easy to talk to.

Ivan was treated like a celebrity. Instead of making things difficult, the people from the Fourth Legion told him everything they knew. Some team members almost asked him for his autograph.

The entrance to the magic stone mine is half a kilometer behind the camp.

Beside the stone cliff, the rock and soil squirmed to both sides like water. The door opened. After a group of people walked in, the rock and soil slowly closed and returned to their original shape.

The outer entrance and exit is a shady cave, giving people a dull and depressing feeling.

"Boss, do you know the reason?"

"Know something."

Ivan responded casually.

Of course, there were reasons why the Dodd Magic Stone Mine was given to him. The reason was that his research topic mentioned that the origin of the Black Demonic Wind and Fire Formation was the birth of the Kanda Magic Stone Mine in the Munnar Ant Lodge. 'Black Robed Monster'.

The Dodd Magic Stone Mine has experienced similar changes.

The superiors also wanted him to continue studying the Black Demonic Wind and Fire Formation, so they assigned it to him here.

This is what the person who sent the letter deed and the 'Earth and Stone Order' from the city lord's palace told Yi Wen.

"You'll know when you get inside." Ivan took out the 'Earth Stone Order' and printed it on the inner protective barrier. A two-person-high passage emerged in the center.

Like other magic stone mines, the Dodd Magic Stone Mine is also covered by a protective witch formation.

The earth stone array is an intermediate earth-type rune witch array, which has the effects of energy gathering, protection, monitoring, and killing.

He could see that this was a basic but comprehensive protective witch formation, which had been integrated with the surrounding earth. It was simple but not simple. The Earth Stone Token in his hand is the master controller of the Earth Stone Array, and it is also a high-level demonized item.

With the Earth Stone Order present, the group walked calmly through the stable passage and arrived at the magic stone mining area. The unique smell hit their faces.

"As expected of a large magic stone mine, the aura is very - very -" Locke praised, running out of words.

"It's ancient, deep, and profound, making people unconsciously want to remain solemn, except for this escaped guy." Ivan's perception spread forward along the dim cave.

Compared to the two magic stone mines in Kanda and Solo that he had visited, Dodd, as a large magic stone mine, had a particularly strong aura, which caused the content of other energy particles to be low.

It also suppresses mental power. If a third-class apprentice came here, it would be good to be able to exert half of his strength.

Ivan and Locke were minimally affected, while Silk Queen and Ze Ant were slightly suppressed by it and had little impact.

"I don't want to share your worries." Locke muttered softly.

"This is our territory. Call your people out to help with the work." Yiwen ignored him and ordered to the accompanying Silkworm Queen and Zeyi.

"Okay."

"It's an order."

Following his instructions, the Silkworm Queen released other Swift Wood Silkworms, including Fragrant Butterflies, Wind Moths, etc., and the Zee Ants summoned a group of ant minions to protect them.

In a short time, the number of people went from being alone to hundreds of people.

Not to mention the strength, the momentum became different, cutting away a lot of the darkness in the cave.

The large magic stone mine is definitely wider than the small and medium-sized mines like Kanda and Solo. Following Ivan's order, all the creatures explored the depths along the mine, giving people a majestic atmosphere.

More than three years is not a long time, and there are not many other creatures that can breed. The journey has been uneventful.

Somewhere along the way, there was unusual movement ahead.

An underground palace appeared at the end of a certain grotto. The figures in the palace were shaking, as if some important meeting was being held, and a dispute arose. The scene was intense and funny.

"Earl Mad Wolf, I held a palace banquet yesterday. Why were you absent from such an important occasion without any reason?"

"Grand Duke Huo Hu, I came here by airship yesterday, but got an urgent notice from the territorial guard on the way. A ferocious beast came down from the mountain and broke into my territory, killing the people in my territory and causing trouble to all.

As a last resort, I could only turn around and return to the territory to fight the powerful evil beast. When I took care of everything, I found that it was too late, so I did not rush to the banquet. "

"How presumptuous! I see you are clearly looking for excuses not to come."

"Grand Duke, please calm down. Earl Mad Wolf did not do this intentionally. Please don't blame him."

"Marquis Fengyan, Earl Liehu—how dare you intercede for him and turn against you."

"You tyrant, today -"

"Pfft-pfft!"

When the atmosphere in the palace was at its most solemn, a sudden burst of laughter rang out, piercing the atmosphere of the palace meeting, and all the 'nobles' looked over with colorful faces.

Only then did the nobles realize that there were so many creatures outside, seeming to surround the palace inside.

"Ahem, keep going and don't worry about us." Being stared at by the people in the palace, Locke hurriedly waved his hands, but he couldn't stop the smile on his face.

No wonder he couldn't help laughing. A group of eight spirits, pretending to be nobles, held a so-called court meeting in a so-called palace made of piled stones. They didn't even know that so many people were approaching. It looked ridiculous and funny no matter how you looked at it.

No one expected that there was a spirit settlement hidden inside the Dode Magic Stone Mine.

Perhaps it was not long since it was formed, or perhaps there had never been an enemy in the Magic Stone Mine, so these spirits were not very alert to the surroundings.

"Who are you?"

The spirits looked like humans, but their bodies were indeed half-illusory. When they saw Locke and his group suddenly appear, their expressions changed drastically, becoming grim and beginning to be on guard.

"We are the owners of the Magic Stone Mine." Locke said with a smile.

"Asshole! This is the main hall of my palace. Outsiders are not allowed to act recklessly here." The spirit who played the Grand Duke shouted loudly.

Along with its voice, an ominous force field quickly strengthened, trying to distort the surrounding scene with illusions.

However, with the suppression of the magic stone mine around, the ominous force field looked like a "flower frame", and in Locke's eyes, it was full of mistakes.

"That Fire Cat Duke, right? You have a talent for acting in dramas. I'm optimistic about you, haha."

"How dare you!"

Locke's mockery made the spirits even more angry.

When a spirit saw Ivan standing behind and recognized him, his expression was particularly exaggerated, his eyes were about to pop out, and he was furious.

"I know you, it turns out to be you, the villain."

"It was you, the wizard, who stole the treasures in Piaoxiang Castle and destroyed the hope of our clan's rise. You are unforgivable."

After the reminder of this spirit, the others also recognized Ivan, and their anger immediately shifted to him.

"How do you know it's me?" Ivan looked at the spirit in front of him unexpectedly. Piaoxiang Castle is several days away from here, and there is a large formation to isolate it. It stands to reason that the two sides cannot contact each other.

He glanced at Locke.

Locke shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"If you see a villain, you must kill him!" No one answered him. The spirits were already ignited by anger and rushed towards them with ferocious faces.

"How brave! Let's see how I deal with you." Locke took the lead to meet them.

Compared with the spirits in the Piaoxiang Castle, these spirits are obviously much weaker. While chanting "The King's Song", Locke turned his hands into knives and chopped the approaching spirits with every knife.

On the other hand, most of the attacks of the swamp ants, wind moths, etc. did not land on the ground, but passed through the spirits, and the effect was reduced by 60% to 70%.

Due to the difference in strength, the spirits could not do anything to the swamp ants and others.

"Leave one or two alive." Ivan saw that the battle was one-sided and hurriedly spoke to remind him.

"Villain, wait, our clan will not let you go." The spirit did not give him a chance. While turning into a violent attack, it annihilated itself.

Only the broken stone temple and the ominous force field were left.

Ivan frowned and stared at the stone temple.

"Boss, it's not that we don't want to hold back, it's just that their way of doing it is too weird." Locke explained.

"I saw it." Ivan himself didn't have time to stop it.

These spirits died strangely, and in an instant they were enveloped by the breath of death, which could not be reversed. He could only watch helplessly. If you think about it carefully, spirits are dead creatures. Perhaps they just returned to the state they should be in.

"Good guy, these spirits have dug up a lot of magic stones. Don't worry, boss, I will purify the alien breath on them." Seeing that he didn't blame himself, Locke walked forward and checked around the stone hall.

He found a lot of magic stones, piled up behind the hall like stones. The magic stones were clearly stained with the breath of spirits, like a curse.

"Okay." Ivan didn't object.

The stone hall is not far from the magic stone ore. Turn a corner and walk a distance, you can see the magic stone ore embedded in the soil and stone. The unique breath of this place is the deepest.

He didn't rush to order the excavation of magic stones, but took a group of men to explore the entire magic stone mine twice.

Originally, according to the City Lord's Mansion, there were changes in the Dode Magic Stone Mine that were suspected to be caused by the birth of the "Black Robe Monster", but now it has completely disappeared.

There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. He has reason to suspect that these spirits caused the special evolution.

Or, it has directly evolved into a gathering place for spirits.

It must be said that this is a pity.

After a while, Ivan chose a suitable location, asked the marsh ants to expand a spacious cave, and asked the silkworm queen to take out various materials from the insect nest space. He was going to start working on the business.

[Enchantment: lv10 (767/7000)]

[Runeology: lv9 (108/5000)]

[Knight Breathing: lv9 (28/5000)]

[Pharmacy: lv8 (214/4000)]

[Biology: lv7 (690/3000)]

[Energy Particles: Lv7 (383/3000)]

[Linguistics: lv6 (311/2000)]

[Meditation: Lv6 (262/2000)]

[Planeology: lv5 (539/1500)]

[Curseology: lv4 (92/1000)]

In the past, as his reputation spread, Enchantment lived up to expectations and became the first 10th-level subject. 10th level is a big threshold, which allowed him to gain a small wisdom light and a great wisdom light respectively.

Runeology was upgraded to 9th level.

This will undoubtedly make him more adept at setting up the Black Magic Wind and Fire Array.

It is worth mentioning that the experience value of the 10th level subject is 2,000 more than that of the 9th level, and the difficulty of upgrading has increased a lot.

"The Black Magic Wind and Fire Array has been derived to 25 rune bundles, turning into an intermediate rune witch array, but part of it is biased towards the spirit body. By borrowing the power of the large magic stone mine here, it should be possible to further study and add a few more rune bundles."

"Then improve your strength while deepening the formation."

Looking around, Ivan made a decision in his heart and decided to stay here for a while.
