Chapter 667: Chapter 416: Half a Third Rank Wizard (5k)_3
“I’ve called you here not only to inform you of the ti for the dal awarding ceremony but also to remind you of a few matters,”
Colin nodded, and Nois patted his shoulder and continued,
“As a mber of the Supre Council, apart from enjoying various benefits, we also have corresponding obligations, especially during this period of war. Council mbers need to unconditionally obey the orders of the Council, and most have gone to the frontline.”
“However, the good news is that, upon my recomndation, you, as a Second Rank Wizard, won’t be sent to the frontline for the ti being.”
“Thank you, Lord Nois.”
“No need to thank . The best gratitude you can show is to train hard and not waste the ti I have fought for you,” Nois said with a smile, his casual words belying the continuous negotiations of the last two days.
Colin was no fool and naturally understood that the special treatnt he was receiving must have been the result of significant efforts by Nois.
He silently noted this in his heart and continued to listen to Nois speak.
“However, there is one thing you will still need to face.”
“The Supre Council is the organization that manages all wizards. As mbers, we each have certain administrative duties to fulfill.
Thus, in the dal awarding ceremony two days from now, you will be assigned to manage a region.”
At this point, Nois paused, “This might be troubling for you.”
“Although you are a Second Rank Wizard, the area you’ll manage will be of the scale expected of a Third Rank Wizard, and you won’t have the choice. It will be decided by vote on the day of the ceremony, and I, as your nominator, cannot participate in the voting.”
Nois looked at Colin, “Moreover, because of your origins, there are indeed many in the Supre Council who hold a poor attitude toward you.
With here, they won’t truly do anything to you, but they might give you so trouble in certain areas, such as the managent region, for instance.”
“If they employ thods that are within the rules, like assigning you a difficult area to manage, I won’t be able to defend you. You’ll have to rely on yourself, understand?”
“I understand,” Colin nodded.
Nois walked to the window, “However, if you manage well, that is also one of the biggest advantages of becoming a councilman. Because, in the absence of special orders and as long as you don’t violate the Council’s rules, you are the supre ruler of that region… Just as I am the City Lord of Neustadt City, you can reap many benefits from it.”
“Alright,” Colin nodded again.
“Anyway, grow quickly,” Nois said as he patted his shoulder and walked back to his desk, sitting down and asking, “How much longer do you estimate it will be until you Advance to a Third Rank Wizard?”
“It should be within these few days.”
Within these few days?
Nois was taken aback, raising his head.
“Lord Nois, regarding Advancing, I actually have so questions to ask you,” Colin ignored the surprise on Nois’s face and continued.
He did not wish to hide his strength any longer.
“…Go ahead,” Nois said after a mont’s pause.
“What is a Quiet Room?”
“The Quiet Room is a chamber where the concentration of Tainted babbling is reduced to almost zero through special ans. They are usually located in busy streets and are mainly used by wizards advancing to the Third Rank to protect their vulnerable Soul Bodies from Tainted babbling during their first disembodint,” Nois explained.
The concept of a Quiet Room was actually not unfamiliar to wizards from a Pureblood Family. Their most exceptional mbers would use Quiet Rooms as early as when they advanced to an Advanced Apprentice, to ensure that they were not affected by Tainted babbling and prevent the degradation of their acquired Talent.
However, Colin, who was not of pure blood, clearly had very little knowledge of this area.
Nois thought for a mont and simply continued to explain,
“The key to advancing to a Third Rank Wizard lies in the disembodint of the Spirit.”
“Only with a Soul Body free from the fetters of the physical body can one truly co into contact with the omnipresent Magic Power in the world, breaking free from the physical body’s limits on Magic Power, calling upon the Magic Power from around, and using witchcraft with a power that greatly surpasses what ca before.
At that point, what limits the wizard’s use of witchcraft is no longer the upper limit of Magic Power, but the upper limit of spiritual power.”
“I see,” Colin said as he suddenly understood, thanking Nois.
Although it was just a brief explanation, Nois had pointed out the biggest difference between a Third Rank Wizard and a Second Rank, clarifying the essence of a Third Rank Wizard a great deal for him.
“If you want to advance to a Third Rank Wizard, you must use a Quiet Room. The process of Soul Body disembodint is very dangerous, especially during the first disembodint when the Soul Body is at its most vulnerable and most susceptible to the influence of Tainted babbling.”
“As the Soul Body gradually becos accustod later on, this condition will improve a lot, but every disembodint needs extra caution and the use of specific techniques for protection,” Nois continued to remind him.
“Does every casting of witchcraft require the Soul Body to disembark?”
“Not necessarily; it depends on when you can find the sensation of mobilizing the Magic Power around you. Once you find that sensation, you can cast powerful witchcraft without the need for Soul Body disembodint.”
“Hmm, there is also a special case – like the one you encountered with Xize. He must have used so Divine technique to dare to co in the form of a pure Soul Body. It is also because of this that he could evade the Council’s surveillance over High Rank Wizards,” Nois added.
“To truly break free from the physical body now, you need to reach Fourth Rank. In fact, a thousand years ago, Third Rank Wizards could choose to abandon their physical bodies and change their Soul Body’s vessel at will. But not now, even Fourth Rank Wizards can’t switch bodies as they wish like in the past… You’ll find out the details when you reach the Fourth Rank, I won’t say more.”
“Alright,” Colin nodded and thanked Nois again.
“No need to thank , you can co to with any training questions anyti,” Nois continued, then tossed him a tal plaque.
“With it, you can use the Quiet Room on the second floor of the hall at any ti. Give it back to after you break through to the Third Rank.”
Colin didn’t hesitate, thanked Nois again, asked a few more questions about training, and then left.
