Sorcerer: I want to be an Academic Prodigy

Chapter 617: Chapter 613: Another Pioneering Move

For sorcerers, the importance of a sorcerer tower goes without saying.

In the past, there were only two towers in the entire sorcerer world that could move freely, one was the Black Soul Tower, and the other was the Nine-layered Breeze Tower; both were treasures of quality far surpassing common magic artifacts, rare and sought after by many.

The birth of the spirit of the tower changed this situation, transforming the sorcerer towers into something that could be used as dwellings or labs normally, and as weapons of war during combat.

The emergence of the spirit of the tower also granted sorcerers a comprehensive assistant for their sorcerer towers.

“Very good, very good, indeed!”

“Black Flame King, the surprises you bring us are getting more and more astounding. Previously, not appointing you as a Great Sage was our negligence; this time we must arrange it, no matter what.”

After the King of the Long Sky and the King of Ten Thousand Woods thoroughly understood the value of the spirit of the tower, both continually sang its praises.

“There’s no need for that.”

Hearing this, Ivan waved his hand.

The roles of a Great Scholar and a Great Sage were meant to help raise sorcerers with potential. As a Void King Wizard, he was already at the pinnacle of the sorcerer world and needed no such title for recognition.

“We must insist; otherwise, other sorcerers might think there’s discord at the top and that we’re ostracizing you,” stated the King of Ten Thousand Woods.

“Fine, as you wish.”

Ivan did not dwell on the matter and continued to explain: “I used two spells to create the spirit of the tower. The level 5 Wisdom Enlightenment Skill, and the level 5 Mechanical Activation Skill. The latter could use a level 4, but the effect wouldn’t be optimal.”

The Wisdom Enlightenment Skill was an invention of his own.

The Mechanical Activation Skill already existed; many years ago, he presented some Imperial Court wine to Hotter, who returned the favor with a variety of gifts, including the level 3 Mechanical Activation Skill.

The Mechanical Activation Skill was a special spell, capable of animating items such as armor, magic puppets, and statues, creating puppet guards with simple cognitive capabilities.

He optimized it to level 5.

Moreover, the level 5 Mechanical Activation Skill he optimized had deviations from the existing versions in the sorcerer world, making it more suitable for shaping the spirit of a tower.

As he spoke, Ivan handed both spells to them, letting them have a quick look.

Compared to the Mechanical Activation Skill, the King of the Long Sky and the King of Ten Thousand Woods paid more attention to the Wisdom Enlightenment Skill. They could infer the depth of his knowledge from this single spell.

Another round of commendations followed.

Time flew, and soon, under Ivan’s generous tutelage, other Void King Wizards also learned the two spells, understanding how to refurbish sorcerer towers and cast spells to create spirits of the towers.

The news of the spirit of the tower wasn’t spread widely; it reached only the Arcane Wizards and Level 3 Sorcerers who were Great Scholars.

Other sorcerers were not privileged enough to enjoy this achievement.

Soon, a new title was added to Ivan – Great Sage, making him one of the six Great Sages in the sorcerer world.

For him now, this was just icing on the cake. He simply smiled it off, focusing more on other research and on improving his own strength.

Betta Calendar, year 3169.

Lu Lu Xiyu finally agreed to leave the Rainbow Domain and began her journey back to the underworld. This time, Jenny did not accompany her, as she needed to coordinate with her original self for some research.

“Lu Lu Xiyu, take care on your journey.”

“Don’t get too happy too soon, I’ll be back when I have the time.”

“As if! Just because you’re the Komor Empress, doesn’t mean you can slander us.”

“Justine, everyone can see right through your little schemes. Just wait, you won’t be smug for long. Sooner or later, I, the Empress, will make you admit defeat wholeheartedly.”

Among Ivan’s wives, Lu Lu Xiyu actually got along with Justine the best. It must be said, fate is a mysterious thing.

Over the years, Lu Lu Xiyu tried hard with the Black Flame King but to no avail; they did not conceive a new life.

In fact, in terms of fertility, dark elves truly can’t compare to humans, and given Lu Lu Xiyu’s high strength, the probability of conception was naturally slim.

The occurrence of Betty Lu Lu was clearly an accident.

In recent years, even with the help of Secret Techniques, the ladies had yet to conceive; Ivan himself was quite open-minded, always adopting a let-nature-take-its-course attitude.

Justine and Lu Lu Xiyu were more concerned about this.

The former simply wanted to have more children with Ivan, while the latter intended to bring forth offspring with exceptional talents based on the dwindling royal bloodline, to continue the family’s glory.

“Ivan, don’t you have anything to say to me?” After a few exchanges of repartee between Lu Lu Xiyu and Justine, the latter cast a wistful glance at the Black Flame King.

“Yes, maybe it won’t be long before we can see each other at any time and won’t need to travel back and forth like this,” Ivan mused aloud.

“Really?”

“More or less.”

“I’ll be waiting.”

Lu Lu Xiyu understood his implication; it was a cross-era research initiative. She gazed at him more affectionately, almost deciding to delay her departure. But remembering the pressing summons from the Kemor Empire, she could only painfully bid farewell.

The departure of the Komor Empress barely made an impact; things in the Rainbow Domain continued as usual.

As time quickly advanced to a couple of years later.

Betta Calendar, the beginning of the year 3172.

After long explorations, on this ordinary yet extraordinary day, Ivan gave birth to another groundbreaking invention, the very thing many sorcerers had been longing for.

In a secluded valley of the Rainbow Domain, stood a sorcerer tower with a peculiar design.

At this moment, the entire sorcerer tower was in operation, and the brightest glow was emanating from a spacious hall within the tower. Ordered rune obelisks were arranged throughout the hall, and under the influence of various elements, a remarkably unusual Space Gate was interwoven at the center of the hall.
