Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Conscription
Three days later, a piece of news broke the tranquility on Academy Island.
The Third, Seventh, and Tenth Legions of Black Sail are soon to comnce a new dinsional war, and all who have attained the power of a First-class Wizard Apprentice can apply to participate, responsible for so logistical tasks.
This is also common in previous dinsional wars, with so less important and less dangerous chores left to the wizard apprentices to handle.
Wizard apprentices participating in dinsional wars don’t engage in frontline battles; given their strength, it is very difficult for them to survive in the war, and the tasks they perform are relatively safe.
However, within a dinsional war, there is no absolute safety, and nobody can guarantee so-called absolute safety.
By simply participating in a dinsional war, one is bound to carry risks.
Nevertheless, for the First-class Wizard Apprentices on Academy Island, this is still an opportunity not easily found.
Black Sail offers significant benefits for the recruitnt of First-class Wizard Apprentices, where just participating counts as completing the assessnt for the First-class Wizard Apprentice stage, and no further assessnts are needed thereafter.
At the sa ti, wizard apprentices will be directly enlisted into one of the legions, becoming a mber of it.
Black Sail will provide a large number of contribution points based on the contributions of wizard apprentices in the dinsional wars.
With these contribution points, wizard apprentices have almost no need to worry about the resources required to advance to an Official Wizard.
Moreover, like Official Wizards, wizard apprentices own all the resources acquired in the dinsional wars.
Wizard apprentices do not fight at the forefront, so they usually do not gain a lot of resources.
However, they do not need a feast, just a little of the soup is enough for them to gain substantial harvests.
So, after the news ca out, many First-class Wizard Apprentices went to sign up; none of them wanted to miss this once-in-a-lifeti opportunity.
Even many Second-class and Third-class Wizard Apprentices went to register, hoping to see if they could get an opportunity.
Black Sail’s selection of wizard apprentices is relatively strict, and all those who are not First-class Wizard Apprentices were screened out.
Duke did not need to register, as he directly received a conscription invitation from the Third Legion.
After previously advancing to First-class Wizard Apprentice, he had been to the Affairs Hall to fill out the information.
Because he has skills in Magic Potion, he was directly noticed by people from the Third Legion, so they sent him a conscription invitation.
Duke could refuse, but he thought for a long ti and consulted with Simon, Hela, Vivian, and others for their opinions.
Among them, Vivian preferred that Duke not go, considering Duke’s safety.
But including Ms. Hela, all strongly recomnded that Duke go, treating it as an opportunity.
As long as Duke accepts the invitation, he can directly beco a mber of the Third Legion.
Strictly speaking, having this layer of identity marks him as a true mber of Black Sail.
Henceforth, unless Duke commits major treason, he will not be expelled by Black Sail.
Unlike other wizard apprentices, who must regularly undergo assessnts, he won’t need to attend assessnts once he joins a legion.
After weighing it over, Duke chose to accept the conscription invitation from the Third Legion.
Indeed, participating in a dinsional war involves so risks, but risk and opportunity coexist.
After confirming, Duke imdiately received a lot of information, all concerning the Third Legion and so details about this mission.
He joined a squad belonging to the fifth regint under the Third Legion, led by a Level 1 Mage nad Wein.
The war will officially start in a month, after which Duke will receive further arrangents.
Duke also received news from rrick, and only then did he realize he was in the sa squad as rrick.
Talking with rrick, he understood that it was thanks to rrick’s recomndation, through his connections, that Duke got this opportunity.
Otherwise, with Duke’s just-advanced status as a First-class Wizard Apprentice, even with capabilities related to Magic Potion, the probability of being selected was still quite low.
"Rest assured, my teacher is also part of the fifth regint and will be acting with us this ti, so there won’t be much danger," rrick said.
After lengthy conversations with rrick, Duke learned that Master Land was also a mber of the Third Legion and held a relatively high position.
Master Land, as an Alchemy master, is of significant importance to the Third Legion.
This ti, because the Beastman Plane is rich in mineral resources, which interested Master Land, he also participated in this dinsional war.
Naturally, rrick, being Master Land’s disciple, was brought along to gain experience.
Land himself hardly participates in combat, mainly responsible for research-related work, so following him is very safe for rrick.
After learning about the matter, rrick ntioned Duke, who left a good impression on him in the Wizard Arena before.
After Duke confird his participation in the dinsional war, he imrsed himself in a life of tirelessly refining his skills.
He still has the new spells of Gravity Yellow Sand and Rock Wall not yet at the maximum level, and improving them would enhance his ability to preserve himself in the dinsional wars.
Besides skill proficiency, Duke also needed to speed up the refining of magic potions, exchanging for so magic stones, and then using the magic stones to purchase materials, converting them into his resources.
After learning of Duke’s idea, Vivian did not try to dissuade him.
Being of knightly origin, Vivian was indeed sowhat concerned about Duke, but she gave more encouragent and appreciation.
Vivian brought Duke a pocket watch nad Life Bell, a Level 1 Witchcraft Artifact.
The effect of Life Bell is that it restores the bearer’s body and ntal state to peak condition imdiately before or shortly after death.
This is a life-saving witchcraft artifact, similar to the Substitute Death Grassman, and is also extrely rare, originating from the Wizard Organization Doomsday Bell.
This was a life-saving witchcraft artifact that Grace had given to Vivian, which Vivian now handed over to Duke.
"I’m very safe at the Thorn Holy Tower, I don’t need this, you take it," Vivian said in a note accompanying the package.
Duke held the pocket watch tightly in silence, and nobody knew what he was thinking.
He then established a spiritual power connection with the Life Bell, sensing the lingering spiritual power information left in it by Vivian.
After establishing a spiritual power link, the pocket watch would automatically trigger in the event of life-threatening danger to Duke, granting him a chance to live again.
As ti passed, a month quickly approached, and the start of the dinsional war drew nearer.
The recruitnt of First-class Wizard Apprentices had long ceased, all nas had been confird, and no further personnel were being recruited for the ti being.
