Compared to Barbara and Hank who looked ugly, the wizard apprentices present were extremely excited.
In previous promotion ceremonies, there were often only three to five places, and most of them could only watch helplessly, hoping to continue working hard to get a precious place in the coming year.
But this time it is different. Everyone has equal opportunities, and the extent of strength improvement only depends on how long they can persist in the alchemy circle.
Everyone firmly believed that they would be able to persevere until the end, but Lin En and others were very powerful on weekdays. For a while, except for North's apprentices, no one took the initiative to stand up.
However, in the face of great temptation, betrayal was only a matter of time. After hesitating for a long time, Bock gritted his teeth and stood in the alchemy formation. His body was trembling, and he did not dare to turn his head to look at Lin En's expression.
He is gambling!
He bet that he could become an official wizard this time, so that he wouldn't have to worry about the other party making things difficult for him.
Linn gave Bock a meaningful look and said nothing. He didn't think North would be so kind.
Seeing that Linn had no intention of punishing Bock, Patty and others, who could no longer hold themselves back, stood in the alchemy formation one after another, followed closely by the apprentices behind Barbara and Hank...
"You... How dare you..." Seeing the apprentices she brought stepping into the alchemy circle without even saying hello, Barbara was so angry that she turned to glare at Lin in annoyance. If he hadn't tacitly allowed the apprentice to leave, things wouldn't have developed to this point.
"It's useless!" Linn shook his head.
These wizard apprentices have only one purpose in joining [Bloody Thorns], and that is to become official wizards. Therefore, facing the temptation of promotion, I am afraid no one can resist it. No matter what he does, it is meaningless.
"This is really interesting." Leia laughed softly.
The few wizards who were watching were not too concerned about the excitement, but they were more curious about whether this alchemy circle was really as magical as North said.
North drank the red wine in front of the table in one gulp and looked at the more than a hundred apprentices standing in the alchemy circle with a satisfied smile on his face. The scepter he held in his hand lightly paused. was activated.
The fine runes shone with a dark green light, and then a strong wave of magic power emitted from the magic circle.
The apprentices located in the center of the magic circle immediately noticed that some kind of power was pouring into their bodies, and then their own magic power seemed to be drawn, ready to move.
"It's true, it's true, my magic power has improved!" Bock felt the power surging in his body and shouted excitedly.
It was an ethereal, ethereal, comfortable and wonderful feeling, and he felt as if his soul was humming.
He will soon become an official wizard!
Leia and others who were watching watched intently at the scene in the circle.
Originally, they had deep doubts about this alchemy circle that could help apprentices advance.
After all, the growth of magic power in these apprentices' bodies has reached the limit, and it is not that easy to increase it again. However, Bock's heartfelt admiration made several people hesitate.
And the surge of magic power all over the body is indeed a sign that he will break through to become a formal wizard...
Barbara and Hank even vaguely guessed that the special material used by North to arrange the formation was most likely the blood of the Eye of Death. Only that terrifying monster had enough energy to satisfy hundreds of people at the same time. Promotion of apprentices.
"Your Excellency North, I wonder if this kind of alchemical formation is still useful for formal wizards?" An old wizard asked excitedly.
"It works, of course it works!" North laughed heartily.
At this moment, a wizard apprentice in the magic circle suddenly let out a painful roar, and then fell to the ground.
Bock, Patty and others also felt a burst of heartbreaking pain at this moment. At first, they ignored it and thought it was the sequelae of breaking through the physical limit. They still persisted. After all, North said that the longer you persist, the longer you persist. The greater the magic power gained.
In just such a short time, the magic power in their bodies had increased by 50%.
But as more and more people fell, Bock could no longer hold on. What shocked him even more was that the power that had been absorbed into his body now turned into a deadly poison. His body was rapidly Withered and decayed, the soul seemed to be torn apart by some strange force...
Seeing rows of wizard apprentices fall down with distorted expressions and completely silent, even the most stupid person can realize that something is wrong.
"North, what on earth are you doing?" Hank yelled angrily.
North did not answer, but murmured nervously. "Since you all want to increase your magic power, then I will satisfy you!"
After absorbing the power of dozens of wizard apprentices, the power of the alchemy circle is becoming more and more powerful...
Leia on the side seemed to suddenly think of something, as if a chill surged into her heart from the soles of her feet, and she shouted in horror. "No, this is the soul-eating magic circle of the evil mage Merk!"
"Are you crazy? North?" Barbara had an expression of disbelief on her face.
North grinned and laughed wildly. "Of course not, Barbara. Use blood to water the most beautiful thorn flowers. This is the meaning of the existence of [Bloody Thorns], isn't it?"
More than three years ago, the evil mage Merk used the blood of the mind flayer to set up an alchemical formation, and sacrificed an entire village and many apprentices in the psionic school. Using the souls of thousands of people as resources, he wanted to set foot on the legendary wizard realm.
Afterwards, although the evil mage Merk failed, his power was greatly improved, and he was even able to compete head-on with several great wizards sent by the parliament.
North is not greedy. The legendary wizard is too far away from him. As long as he can use this power to become a real great wizard!
"Come on, all of you will become part of the noble wizard [North]!" North said crazily.
"Madman, he has gone crazy, kill him!" Leia shouted loudly.
The twenty or so wizards in the banquet hall were also furious. They all raised their hands to cast spells, preparing to tear the madman in front of them into pieces.
For a moment, Hank didn't even care that this was indoors. He raised his hand and used a pyrotechnic, intending to blow up North and the alchemy circle on the ground.
But the next moment, Hank felt that his soul was disturbed, as if something stabbed his head hard, causing him to twitch all over in pain, and the hot fireball exploded on the spot before it was launched...
