9 Wizards & Life Reconstruction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When the new day arrived, Richard had a general understanding of wizards and the entire magic system described in the book.

According to its explanations, wizards were a group of people with mysterious powers, who could manipulate energy, matter and even life in nature through special means to bring about magical changes.

Generally speaking, wizards didn't actively associate with ordinary people. They hid their identity very carefully. Most of the time, they would gather with their companions to explore ancient secrets and study more advanced spells.

Of course, wizards could be categorized into different levels based on their capabilities, from low to high. There were Level 1 Wizards, Level 2 Wizards, Level 3 Wizards, up to the highest, Level 9 Wizards.

In general, Level 1 Wizards had special abilities that ordinary people could not resist. They could easily destroy an entire elite army, kill the ruler of a kingdom, and leave easily, even among thousands of troops.

Level 2 Wizards were even more powerful and could do things beyond the limits of ordinary people's imagination, such as turning a stone into a giant boulder with life. Another example would be turning a person into an inanimate stone statue.

Level 3 Wizards were comparable to gods, with the ability to transform nature. When casting a spell, if they unleashed their full power, it could cause a natural disaster wherever it happened. This place could turn into a desert with a permanent drought, or suffer a deluge that completely flooded it.

As for Level 4 Wizards, Level 5 Wizards, and Level 6 Wizards, their abilities were completely unimaginable. They could create large islands in the ocean, or transform the climate of an entire continent into one that they favored.

As for Level 7 Wizards, it remained to be proved whether they existed or not. There were only vague and short descriptions in writings, passed down from ancient times.

In short, the power of a wizard was beyond doubt. As long as one became a wizard, even the weakest wizard, one could disregard any ruler and flout the law.

Of course, most people did not have the talent to become a wizard, and even if they did, many of them didn't reach beyond apprenticeship in wizardry.

The Apprentice Wizard was equivalent to a pre-wizard, meaning that they were not officially considered wizards. Although they could cast some spells, they were certainly incomparable to a real wizard. Although their powers were equally feared by ordinary people, ordinary people also had many ways of killing them.

The most important thing was that Apprentice Wizards were often unable to face an entire well-trained army. Therefore, they had to abide by the law to a certain extent and obey the ruler. In many cases, faced with harsh reality, Apprentice Wizards often had to depend on a certain nobleman and serve him for life.

Becoming a real wizard was the wish every Apprentice Wizard had, but obviously, success was not easily achieved. It was already extremely difficult for someone to become an Apprentice Wizard, since not everyone had the talent. The probability of being talented was less than one in ten thousand.

Only a talented person, a less than one in ten thousand chance, could achieve the three life reconstructions, completing the transition from a mortal to an apprentice wizard, and prepare to become a true wizard. The other 99.99% could only choose to be a mortal forever.

The three life reconstructions were astral projection, creation of magic source, and energy smelting.

It was very simple to test whether a person was talented or not, since it involved…

Bang!

A scroll fell on the table. Richard picked it up, raised it, staring, and then let go.

Bang!

The scroll dropped and fell on the table a second time.

His eyes flickered. Richard picked up the scroll again, stared at it, using his mental power to hold the scroll, and he let go.

Bang!

The scroll fell a third time.

"Huh." Richard exhaled and closed his eyes. As he had not slept at all last night, he was slightly tired. Rubbing his temples, he muttered to himself, "Sure, since there is a less than one in ten thousand chance, it's not so easy, otherwise it wouldn't be real at all. It seems that I can be sure that I have no talent, which makes sense and is in line with my expectations.

"Ignoring the possibility that the contents in the book are deceiving, after going to great lengths to solve the secrets of the wizard book, I still have to now face the reality of the wizardry world. This is kind of interesting."

He opened his eyes and looked out the window. The sun had just risen from the east, shining over every corner of the Earth.

Richard's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said to himself, "Well, I will have to see how impenetrable the door to the wizardry world is. I would like to know if I can break it open through scientific methods.

"What's the point if I just rely on that so-called talent to become a wizard? Only by relying entirely on science to become a wizard, and using science to analyze and apply the principles of the entire wizardry system, can it be really as interesting.

"Like this, at least I can figure out most of the truths this world has, and I can figure out how I came to this damn world.

"Transmigration? I have no need for such a ridiculous answer that is only seen in novels. I need a real answer that can be explained by science."

Richard stood up and stretched, facing the rising sun. The bright sunlight shone through the window, brightening the dust particles in the room.

A large amount of dust that was as fine as sand turned golden, dancing in the light, floating up and down. It was a beautiful sight.

Suddenly, the dust shook, as if an invisible giant fist had blasted into it. Pushed by a gush of air, the dust dispersed around rapidly.

Bang, bang, bang! Someone was knocking on Richard's bedroom door, which was also connected to the study room.

With a twist, Richard opened the door and saw Edward standing outside with a slightly nervous expression.

"What's wrong? What's the matter?" Richard asked aloud, knowing that his Chief Bodyguard normally didn't look like this.

Edward said, "Your Highness, the butler, Deron, is here, saying that he wants to see you."

"Deron, the butler? He wants to see me?" Richard frowned slightly.

Deron was a skinny old man in his sixties. He was the butler of the King of Blue Lion Kingdom and managed everything related to the palace. Although he was only a servant, his power surpassed that of many court officials and even small nobles. The prince wondered why he had made such a sudden visit, but he was now busy solving the puzzle of the three life reconstructions mentioned in the wizard book, he had no time to waste.

"Where is he now?"

"He is waiting at the hall."

"Okay, I'll meet him." Richard walked to the door. "Let's see what's going on first."
