Chapter 254: Invitation from the Hall of Truth

Chapter 254: The Invitation from the Hall of Truth

Departing from Valen's room.

Li Wei returned to his own chamber.

He had been pondering the "coincidental event" from just before.

Instinct whispered to him that this was absolutely no coincidence.

Dragons had vanished for hundreds of years, yet within a short span, he had encountered two matters tied to them.

To claim there was no connection between these two events, Li Wei himself did not believe it.

Gurgle!

Li Wei's stomach issued a protest, dragging his thoughts back.

"Forget it, pain is pain, let us eat first!"

"Ao~"

The magic butler Kuro looked at Li Wei's room, revealing a look of confusion.

"Why does Master Li Wei look so pained every time he eats?"

He turned his head to look at the maid puppet, asking, "Is the food you make not tasty?"

The maid puppet shook her head and said, "I do not know, Master has never said it tastes bad."

"Perhaps Master Li Wei's tastes are somewhat different, tomorrow I will go outside to buy delicious food for Master Li Wei."

"Understood."

After finishing his meal, Li Wei downed three bottles of intermediate magic potions in one breath.

The Gluttonous Stomach was like a bottomless pit, absorbing all the power within the potions in mere minutes.

Li Wei's mana advanced by leaps and bounds.

[Crystal Meditation Method (Tier 3)] 902/10000

Having endured the pain of self-consumption, Li Wei's resolve to break the curse strengthened further.

"Remaining to one hundred credit points is 57.25, at most I need to participate in two practical course tasks to gather enough."

Hope was right before his eyes, Li Wei encouraged himself to persist a while longer, and the difficult days would pass.

At night, Li Wei dove into the dream world.

Utilizing the eightfold time flow to cultivate spells and learn magical principles.

The books Valen gave him were all copied into the dream world.

Here, he possessed ample time to learn knowledge.

After a period of study, Li Wei also obtained a new skill.

[Magical Knowledge (Tier 1)] 4621/10000

Li Wei was gradually advancing from a magical illiterate toward a magical scholar.

Given enough time, sooner or later he would master all magical knowledge in the world.

Tier 1 Magical Knowledge granted Li Wei the ability to identify common magical items, magical plants, magical beasts, and such things.

The next day, Li Wei went to the Element Tower, preparing to find Baraha to inquire about news.

Just as he reached the entrance, he was blocked by several mages wearing round-pointed magic hats.

"Are you Li Wei?"

Li Wei was somewhat surprised, "Is there some matter?"

"Excellent, finally found you." One person exclaimed.

Li Wei was somewhat astonished, what did these people want with him?

He observed the attire of the few people, remembering something.

These people dressed in the style of ancient school mages seemed to be researchers from the Hall of Truth.

True theoretical school mages.

They revered the thoughts of ancient mages, therefore in attire they also resembled ancient mages.

Looking somewhat old-fashioned.

Knowing these people were theoretical school mages, Li Wei breathed a slight sigh of relief, not so nervous.

Theoretical school mages were all a group of people specializing in magical knowledge, rarely producing contradictions or conflicts with others.

Even if contradictions or conflicts arose, they were limited to differences in philosophy and knowledge.

Hobis looked at Li Wei, asking excitedly, "Was the modification to the Fire Snake Spell model your idea?"

Li Wei nodded, "Mm, is there a problem?"

He hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No no no, not a problem, it is simply too perfect!"

"I have researched the Fire Snake Spell for several years, never thought to modify it this way, this can almost elevate the Fire Snake Spell to the category of a tier three spell."

Another person beside him also hurriedly asked, "Was the Moving Fire Wall Spell also created by you?"

Li Wei nodded, "Correct."

"What business do you have, if none, I need to go to class." Hobis took a deep breath, saying, "We wish to invite you to join the Hall of Truth, to research magic together."

"Your spell innovation ability is too strong, the Vice Master of the Hall of Truth saw it, and was full of praise."

"If you join the Hall of Truth, in the future you surely can create more spells that break conventions."

Li Wei just wanted to shake his head and refuse.

Hobis then said, "Last time the few spell models you improved I showed to the Vice Master, he inquired your opinion, whether you agree to contribute the improved spell models to the library, if you are willing, the Hall of Truth is willing to give you fifteen credit points as compensation."

Li Wei revealed surprise, eyes wide, incredulous.

"What did you say?"

"Give me fifteen credit points?"

Hobis nodded and said, "The few spell models you improved are all spells commonly used by mages, value far exceeds fifteen credit points, but this is the maximum benefit the Vice Master can give."

"Additionally, if you are willing to join the Hall of Truth, hereafter learning all spells can enjoy half price."

"I join!"

Li Wei said without hesitation.

He previously did not know improving spell models could also receive credit point rewards.

It seems the rewards actually come faster than practical course tasks.

The spell models he could improve were not just these few kinds.

How many tier one, tier two fire spells were there?

At least there were hundreds of kinds.

If every spell were improved once, would that not amount to hundreds of credits?

Improving spell models was no difficult task for Levi.

It merely required spending some time on deduction.

This was far easier than practical course assignments.

Not to mention the zero-order spells, which were far more numerous.

Hearing Levi was willing to join the Hall of Truth, Hobis broke into a smile.

The few of them eagerly led Levi toward the Hall of Truth.

On the way, Levi encountered the two, Parfit and Anthony.

Seeing Levi, Anthony halted, stared at him, and said, "Levi, I have already broken through to the third tier."

Levi looked at him somewhat strangely. "Oh, what does that have to do with me?"

Anthony's expression shifted slightly.

He snorted coldly and said, "It is merely that I am already a third-tier mage, unwilling to bully the weak, too lazy to quarrel with you."

"Let us go."

Anthony turned around, while Parfit cast an arrogant, provocative glance at Levi.

Levi took out the third-tier magic badge exchanged last night, breathed on it, wiped it, and pinned it to his chest.

"Oh, third tier? I seem to be as well."

Anthony's footsteps halted.

He turned his head, staring incredulously at the three-star badge on Levi's chest.

"You!"

Parfit's arrogant expression froze.

Anthony asked in disbelief, "When did you break through?"

Levi chuckled lightly, too bothered to answer his question.

Little pup, is it not just breaking through to third tier? Why put on airs before him.

As if anyone were not a third-tier mage.

Seeing this, Hobis asked, "Mage Levi, are they friends of yours?"

Levi shook his head and said, "Do not know them, let us go."

Anthony's face instantly flushed red, his fists clenching tight.

"Damn it!"

Hobis nodded. "Oh, oh, then let us go."

Hearing Levi say he did not know Anthony and Parfit, he harbored no suspicion.

With so many mages in the Element Tower, it was normal not to know them.
