points of fire extinguishing value.
Such a large amount of "fire extinguishing value" mainly cos from last night’s "Rain of Enlightennt."
A small portion cos from just now healing Aunt Zi.
An even smaller portion cos from the continuous ferntation of the "Power of Enlightennt." Andrew believes that this part of the extinguishing value will only increase over ti, just like a steady stream.
Suddenly he thought: "This ’Water God Mark’ I have, according to what that female voice said, is also an ’Enlightennt,’ and it should have been cast by soone far more powerful than , a ’Divine Enlightennt’. Would the existence that granted this enlightennt also gain extinguishing value as I grow stronger?"
He shook his head, such thoughts are useless now.
He looked back at the number of extinguishing value points in hand.
Despite having so many points, Andrew did not imdiately consu them all.
Because blindly unlocking magic is aningless.
Like just now, unlocking what is needed at the ti, like the "Fingertip Series" "Water-Cutting Blade" or the "Water Priestess Series" "Deep Blue Starlight"—this is a more efficient approach.
Brainlessly enhancing oneself to the extre would lead to a lack of adaptability and adjustnt ability, just like dinosaurs in previous history, with bodies too large, ended up with environntal changes, while smaller creatures survived.
"To beco stronger, but there’s no need to rush."
This is Andrew’s current thought process, "Slightly pinch the ’fire extinguishing value,’ and decide on magic unlocking depending on the situation. Anyway, the magic skills unlocked from the ’Water God Mark’ are pretty much plug-and-play, no need to worry about proficiency issues. Didn’t I manage to imdiately use the difficult magic of Enlightennt when I got it?"
If rembered correctly, the world’s official mages are divided into nine tiers.
Above the ninth tier is the Grand Mage, Humboldt’s forr tier level.
Junior, Interdiate, Advanced Magic Apprentice.
Ninth-tier Official Mage.
Grand Mage.
Magic Guide Sorcerer.
Approximately this is the professional hierarchy? Andrew carefully searches through the information in his mory.
And the way to break through tiers is also simple, nothing fancy: practice!
Learn a lot of magic, use a lot of magic!
This naturally leads to an increase in magic power during the process.
Once magic power reaches a certain value, it will naturally break through to the next tier.
In turn, it allows the caster to learn more advanced magic skills.
"After completing the title assessnt, I should now be a ’Tier One Water Mage.’
Andrew smacked his lips, "Next, I should properly utilize Water Magic and extinguish fires, striving to quickly advance to Tier Two! But there’s no need to rush. Haste makes waste, if blindly unlocking a bunch of magic skills that end up unused, that’s deford."
Thinking about it, he decided to hold onto the remaining "extinguishing values." It feels a bit like playing the sowhat obscure, powerful hero "Kled the Cantankerous Cavalier" in LOL and holding back from leveling the W skill.
Instead, he allocated so "extinguishing value" to Ivan through the connection that far surpasses the one between himself and other townspeople.
This is with special consideration—
Problems in the Fla Realm are nurous.
The Magic Guild’s retaliation could co at any ti unknown.
And the people of Wildfire Town, like little Sophie, would still need ti to truly grow with the help of the "Enlightennt Power."
"So in the short term, it’s only Ivan and who can quickly enhance combat power right now."
Andrew was actually a bit helpless, "Oh right, and Ivan’s little dog."
...
...
Outside Ivan’s tent.
"...Here we go again."
Ivan’s expression changed slightly, feeling Andrew’s gift, causing his facial muscles to twitch slightly before he sighed, not knowing what else to say.
This is really the first ti he has seen a mage so generously giving out benefits proactively...
In this Fla Realm, Warm Fire Mages are alright, but Earth Fire Mages are notorious for being stingy to the extre!
Regarding this fact, Ivan who had dealt with Earth Fire Mages, had quite the right to speak.
"He healed my lung burns, and now he’s giving benefits, how do I repay this kindness?"
Ivan felt a bit annoyed in his heart.
After experiencing so things in the past, deep down, Ivan does not trust others anymore.
Nor does he like to owe favors.
Having truly benefited from soone, he has to find a way to repay!
Of course, his most common practice before was to decline others’ good intentions from the start by living in isolation.
However, for the extinguishing value Andrew sent over, Ivan hesitated for a mont but ultimately did not refuse.
"Because it’s really hard to refuse. No Desert Hunter can."
Ivan looked down at his hands.
Clenching, releasing, then clenching again, "Though I don’t know what magic that guy cast on , I sohow feel that if this continues, I won’t only heal my injuries and return to my peak, but might even break through the ’boundary’ of Desert Hunters!"
Recovering from injury and returning to the peak are two different concepts.
Ivan had been at the Scholar’s Fortress; he was once as high as a Tier Seven Desert Hunter!
And the ultimate tier for Desert Hunters is Tier Nine.
Going further, there’s no equivalent for the Desert Hunters as there is for the Grand Mages.
Desert Hunters can only reach Tier Nine, and Ivan was once Tier Seven.
Now, he feels that he can quickly regain his strength, at least restore to around the level of a Tier Four Desert Hunter as soon as possible.
At the sa ti, Ivan has a strong feeling: continuing to work with Andrew, he might have the chance to break through the "boundary" that historically only one person has broken in Desert Hunters!
He couldn’t really articulate the reason, it’s just a strong feeling!
If one must say the reason, it’s only that he feels himself becoming "whole."
It feels as though Desert Hunters, compared to Mages, Fla Warriors, and Crimson Knights, are sowhat "broken" career paths.
And Andrew’s presence—his magic, his thods—seems to be able to make the broken Desert Hunter, whole again.
At this mont, Ivan stood expressionless outside his tent.
He really was not accustod to the feeling of benefiting from soone’s good deeds.
Instead, he was not overly shocked about the possibility of breaking through the "boundary."
After all...that young guy had cured an often deed incurable illness, lung burns, didn’t he?
"Nevermind. Let’s not overthink. Once I’ve repaid this favor, I’m leaving!"
Ivan glanced into the distance.
Little Sophie was exercising in the way he had taught her.
Sofia aunt sat not far watching, full of pride. She always exchanged her body for food when she ca here. It was neither happy nor unhappy, but this ti, for the first ti, she felt genuinely happy to co to Ivan’s place.
Watching the appearance of Sofia and her daughter at the mont, Ivan’s rock-like face finally unconsciously showed a hint of a barely noticeable smile.
And he didn’t know if it was feeling a long-lost warmth between people, or if he regretted so actions when injured before.
But this smile quickly disappeared.
Ivan’s gaze turned again towards Wildfire Town.
He had always felt that after last night’s strange rain, not only himself, nor just little Sophie, but the entire Wildfire Town had changed sohow.
There’s a feeling of thriving and slowly rising amidst adversity!
"So, what exactly did that kid do? And what exactly can he achieve?"
Thinking of this, Ivan couldn’t help but get annoyed again.
He decided: "If I can’t see through you now, don’t think you can see through either. My potential breakthrough of the ’boundary’ and ability to recover to ’Tier Four Desert Hunter’ soon, I absolutely... won’t tell you!"
...
...
Temporary camp.
Outside Andrew’s tent.
An Ya was sitting on a box outside the tent, looking increasingly weary. After all, she hadn’t slept all night. However, she continued to hold on, waiting. Even in a less than optimal state, she still drew glances from many young people inside the camp.
The tent’s curtain suddenly lifted.
An Ya imdiately bounced up from the box and looked over, "How is it?"
Only to see Aunt Zi walk out first, her expression unchanged since not long before.
Andrew followed closely behind.
"Then, regarding the subsequent matters, we shall agree as such." Aunt Zi said politely and courteously, "Once again, I apologize for my prior rudeness to you."
