Chapter 60: The Three Elements to Become a Full-fledged Wizard

"Perhaps the only hope for some treatment lies in going to the Wizard's City and seeking out those adept in spiritual magic," Philip sighed, warning Lynn not to get his hopes up.

Though the girl's body remained frozen, showing no signs of change, it had been over half a month now, and her soul likely had already dissipated.

Hearing Philip's words, Lynn couldn't help but feel disappointed. He didn't have a deep connection with Dove, but she had used her soul-shriek to aid him in his battle against Archbishop Anluke. Therefore, he was determined to do everything in his power to save her.

"Let's freeze her once more. I happen to know a master of spiritual magic. Perhaps he can be of some help... if he's not too busy," Herlram suddenly spoke up.

Kevin, Philip, and the others looked at Herlram with surprise. They thought it was quite an extravagant move to involve a master of spiritual magic to treat a wizard apprentice who was most likely already dead.

Only Orlando's face displayed a hint of resignation. He had expected this turn of events.

"Thank you very much, Master Herlram!" Jonny expressed his gratitude with a deep bow.

Lynn, too, expressed his appreciation, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Following Herlram's suggestion, Dove, now re-frozen, was transferred to the infirmary of the Iyeta Academy. Lynn and Jonny were each led to their respective accommodations within the academy.

...

"Professor Lynn, this will be your residence from now on!" Theodore led Lynn into a room.

Upon entering, Lynn couldn't help but survey the surroundings. The entire room appeared quite spacious, serving not only as a simple bedroom but also equipped with a small alchemy workstation and containers for herb grinding. The room had a well-stocked bookshelf, a comfortable bed, and a desk with chairs. In these times, it could be considered luxurious!

This is the life people should be living...

Lynn sighed inwardly. In contrast, during his time hiding from the Church within the Sycas Empire, he slept on wooden boards covered with straw, struggling to swallow coarse, black bread. He had lived like a refugee.

According to the rules of Iyeta Academy, apprentices needed to complete one or two courses and gain the recognition and recommendation of the academy's professors to proceed.

Lynn could see that this was a scheme by the various colleges and even the Wizard Council to monopolize the rights of commoners to become wizards.

Of course, on the surface, the Wizard Council provided a noble reason for this: preventing apprentices with ill intentions from gaining access to more powerful magic.

Now, with his newfound status as a professor, Lynn theoretically possessed the authority to apply for the promotion potion from the council on behalf of an apprentice. However, doing so would require him to secretly retain a bottle of the "Source of Magic." Not only would he have to navigate the official process, but he would also face the risk of being reported.

The second channel was to bypass the academy and the Wizard Council to acquire the potion through other means. Such as... purchasing it from the black market.

Where there is demand, there will always be trade. The question is whether the price is right.

Since the "Source of Magic" was a type of magic potion, there must be alchemists who knew how to make it. If Lynn could somehow obtain the formula for this magic potion and create it himself, that would be the safest approach!

With these thoughts in mind, Lynn collected his scattered ideas and began his daily meditation, where the boundless sea of elements once again appeared before him.

Regardless, until he obtained the promotion potion, he needed to ensure that his magical power and mental strength reached their peak.

His original body, Karl, had only been a regular apprentice, with around six months of experience with magic. Fortunately, during the crossover, his soul's fusion had provided him with a substantial increase in mental strength. His capacity for magic had also grown significantly. Following the marginal growth theory in "Basic Magic Principles," he was likely only two to three months away from reaching that bottleneck...

The three crucial elements hindering his journey to becoming a full-fledged wizard were the required funds to purchase the "Source of Magic," the necessary information about the magic potion, and the time needed to grow his magical power.
