Chapter 425: Chapter 424 Regularities and Confessions

“Indeed, it worked–the power of the Witch’s Favor I gained is about thirty percent of the original, which is still pretty good.”

Ivan was taken aback, then reflected on the strong action-driven capabilities of certain sorcerers while comparing the gains before and after–resulting in a satisfying outcome.

Correspondingly, his Experience Points in [Witchcraft Civilization Studies] had increased significantly, nearly equivalent to the acquired Witch’s Favor.

He then used the newly learned methods to gather the Witch’s Favor and sealed it within his body for future use. The uses of the Favor were diverse, so naturally, he would apply it in crucial matters.

He had not decided what to use it for just yet; accumulating it was fine.

“The power of the Favor really is like the merit of legends; however, it can only affect oneself and not be used on one’s own equipment or avatars.”

“However, the Favor encompasses a kind of ‘luck’ that, even as energy is consumed, luck will not be depleted but will gradually accumulate, silently offering protection.”

“The more luck one has, the smoother one’s journey will become.”

After receiving meticulous guidance from Chairman Hardy, he had gained considerable knowledge about the Witch’s Favor and no longer was as clueless as before, not even knowing how to gather it.

A week later, Ivan received a notification from the President, learning which sorcerer possessed such strong capabilities–it turned out to be Wizard Jim Bernard, hailing from a major family of the Botta Blood Plain.

Jim Bernard was a Level 4 Arcane Arts Sorcerer, and his public title was ‘Fire Phoenix Lord.’

It’s worth mentioning that most Level 4 Sorcerers have lord titles, usually defined by their elements domain after ascending to Level 4, carrying extraordinary significance.

Ivan hadn’t met the Fire Phoenix Lord yet. The latter had sent someone over, bringing a wealth of cultivation resources, magical gemstones, strength Crystal Stones, medicinal herbs and potions, Enchantment materials, ancient tomes, and so on–an impressive abundance.

Compared to a Level 3 Sorcerer, Arcane Wizards are indeed much more generous.

The envoy also emphasized that he had gained the friendship of the Bernard family and should definitely visit the Bernard family in the Botta Blood Plain when he had the chance.

Naturally, Ivan readily agreed.

Time flows like water, and another month passed, during which the multicolored force filled with the essence of mystery descended accurately upon Ivan, granting him a second helping of the Witch’s Favor.

In the sixth month since he had shared the Black Demon Fire Silk Array, he acquired a third helping of the Witch’s Favor.

In the seventh month, he acquired a fourth and fifth helping of the Favor.

“It turns out that the Witch’s Favor gained from promoting the sorcerer system within the same species isn’t endless–the creation of the second official sorcerer resulted in a reduced boon, and the third even less so, not a large amount, but not insignificant either.”

While Ivan was happy, he heard some rather unfavorable news. Upon reflection, it made sense–the power of the Favor was too precious to be unlimited.

He had a premonition, which is why he had tried to focus his attention on the rapid wood silkworm.

Now, his experiment had achieved some small success–the Wind Moth had reached the entry level based on the basic Insect Meditation Method, albeit with incredibly slow progress, exuding an overall sense of maladaptation.

The Scented Butterfly was not as advanced as the Wind Moth, still some way from reaching the entry level.

Ivan remained very patient with this. Such matters truly cannot be rushed; haste can easily lead to chaos and might even endanger the lives of the Wind Moth and Scented Butterfly.

Back when he was exploring the Insect Breathing Method, he too had spent a great deal of time, not to mention the Meditation Method, which was more complex than the Breathing Method.

He had all the time in the world, and exploring step by step was the way to go.

The eighth month.

Ivan gained a sixth and seventh helping of the Witch’s Favor.

Starting from the ninth month, the Witch’s Favor he obtained rapidly increased, as if it were a surge following a period of dormancy. However, after a full year, the appearance of the Witch’s Favor began to slow down perceptibly.

To this, Ivan expressed his understanding.

The number of Alien Races in the sorcerer’s domain was laid out before him, and given the inherent limitations that came with the Witch’s Favor, Ivan found it somewhat surprising that it had lasted so long.

He guessed that there were quite a few Alien Races on the Botta Blood Plain.

At the same time, his “Witchcraft Civilization Studies” jumped two grades, transforming from a Level 4 subject to a Level 6 subject, and he harvested a significant amount of Witch’s Favor.

It really validated what President Hot had said, that he gained more Witch’s Favor than if he had acted on his own.

He estimated that once all the Alien Races on the sorcerer’s domain each had their own sorcerer, he might still gain Witch’s Favor in the future, but the amount would definitely not be much.

…

That day, Locke brought someone to see Ivan with an ambiguous expression. Once the person arrived, he did not leave but stood aside, ready to watch the excitement. The visitor turned out to be Dan Lin, a young girl from the Alien Race.

Ever since Dan Lin became an official sorcerer a year ago, nourished by mental power and Mana, she had become even more radiant than before.

“My respects, esteemed scholar,” she greeted him with lively grace, her face clearly showing delight.

“Did you insist on seeing me because there is something important?” Ivan sat there, seeming indifferent.

“I wish to follow by the great scholar’s side forever.” Dan Lin looked at him with her clear, bright eyes, meeting his gaze without a flicker, her determination plain to see.

Hearing this, Locke couldn’t help but widen his eyes.

This girl looked delicate and frail, yet she had the courage to openly profess her feelings to their boss. Appearances truly are deceiving.

Tsk tsk! The boss’s charm was so great that it became irresistible. Impressive.

“Your reason.” Ivan seemed somewhat unmoved.

“It is a long-standing tradition of my Alien Race. The sisters in our tribe all do this, finding a person worthy of our wholehearted devotion and entrusting our lives to them. In my darkest hour, it was you, radiant with glory, who pulled me from the darkness. Dan Lin has set her heart on you for life.”

Dan Lin looked at him with a sparkling gaze, her complexion blushing with coy shyness, yet she expressed her feelings without wavering.

The girl before him was so genuine with her emotions that not only Ivan, but even Locke at his side, could clearly sense her deep and sincere love.

The affection was too pure; it showed no hint of falsehood.

Ivan’s expression was unchanged, but inside he was full of suspicion. After all, President Hot had mentioned that the people of the Alien Race were not entirely trustworthy.

“What else?”

“Your wisdom and talent are things I admire greatly. They are what make Dan Lin wish to accompany you for life. I will do anything you ask, as long as you allow Dan Lin to stay by your side.

I heard that you like fine wine. Dan Lin specially learned winemaking from the elders in my tribe. If you don’t believe me, I can prove it to you.”

Listening to him, Dan Lin strived to demonstrate her emotions and her worth.

The straightforward confession compelled Locke to make meaningful glances at his boss, but unfortunately, Ivan seemed a bit detached. The desperation was clear on two faces – including Dan Lin’s, whose complexion gradually began to falter into dejection.

“You know how to brew wine?”

“Mm-hm, I am confident that I will brew a wine that satisfies you,” Dan Lin asserted.

“Okay, then stay.”

These words sounded like heavenly music to the girl’s ears; had there not been others present, she surely would have leaped up in excitement.

Ivan did not consider himself a man swayed by physical beauty, but neither was he an ascetic sorcerer. When such a breathtakingly beautiful girl presented herself and was also an official sorcerer, it would seem abnormal to turn her away.

Regardless of what tricks the people of the Alien Race had up their sleeves, she was merely a Level 1 Sorcerer and couldn’t stir up any trouble in his domain.

Thus, it might be better to include her in his own sorcerer tower and keep her under observation. Who knew? He might even find some clues related to the Five Leaves Spear.
