Lin Sheng was about to put the white crystal into the Gargoyle's chest when he heard this. He nodded slightly.
"Got it."
It seemed that his uncle was fine for now.
But when Lin Sheng recalled the anxious look on his mentor's face, he felt that things were not that simple.
"Prepare for a rainy day." He gently put the white crystal into the Gargoyle's chest.
Click.
The crystal fit perfectly.
The Gargoyle's red eyes slowly lit up.
This was a Gargoyle made of the cheapest materials. The cost was only 150 gold coins. Moreover, it needed one white crystal to be used for 20 minutes.
But if it was sold, it could be sold for tens of thousands of gold coins.
Moreover, there was no market for it because the process of making a Gargoyle was extremely troublesome. Therefore, many Gargoyle mages were too lazy to waste time on it.
Such a Gargoyle, after being activated, was equivalent to a standard Level-3 Warrior. It had great mobility and a Level-2 spell called Scorching Ray from a distance.
Its sharp claws and powerful strength were also favored by many mages for self-defense.
"It seems that I have to solve the problem of the Gargoyle's dependence on magic power." Lin Sheng quietly watched the Gargoyle that was slowly moving and fell into deep thought.
Just as Lin Sheng was deeply immersed in his research on the Gargoyle.
In the vast area near the White Granite Forest and Lanying Tower, a secret rumor began to spread among dozens of aristocratic territories.
According to the rumor, a mysterious organization called the Black Veil Pot was silently infiltrating various powerful mage organizations.
The Black Veil Pot was not so famous even though it had been around for decades.
But what really made it famous was that a powerful lone mage was suddenly assassinated.
Then, the local judicial authorities sent people to investigate and unexpectedly found out that the lone mage was actually a member of the Black Veil Pot.
And this mage was also involved in many of the Black Veil Pot's strange murder cases.
Therefore, many of the previous murder cases had a main body. And the Black Veil Pot's reputation gradually spread.
Not long after Uncle Kenhardt's incident, Lin Sheng's mana had officially broken through to Level 5 in the second month.
He also began to truly study the interplanar experiments that middle-ranked mages could do, as well as the Spell of Permanence.
The White Boulder Forest was no longer enough to satisfy his growing research needs.
So, he decided to apply for a promotion before he left, and then set up a temporary mage research base near the White Boulder Forest.
This way, they could maximize the use of the resources in the White Boulder Forest without affecting the progress of the research.

"What? You want to apply for advancement again?? "Mentor Dora's hand trembled as she was inscribing a mageweath. It was completely destroyed.
Wisps of green smoke rose into the air, but she didn't care about it at all. Instead, she raised her head and looked at her disciple, Lin Sheng, who was standing in front of her.
How long had it been? Was this kid going to advance again?
Was she crazy, or was the world crazy? If it weren't for the fact that the other students looked normal, she would have thought that the world had changed. Going from rank 2 to rank 3 was a watershed for mages.
This was because Level 3 Mages could use Fireball, a powerful weapon.
It was no exaggeration to say that a Fireball was equivalent to an enhanced version of a howitzer. Once it exploded, the area within a radius of more than ten meters would be completely enveloped by the high temperature of the flames.
Mages of this level were qualified to be killing machines on the battlefield.
"Yes, Mentor. My magic power has reached the required level. I have also mastered the spells, so I hope to apply for advancement. Also, I hope to build my own private laboratory near the White Boulder Forest, "Lin Sheng replied seriously.
"Private laboratories are not a problem. Many mages have them nearby. But your advancement is too … "Dora was speechless.
"It's not too bad. Many geniuses and elites recorded in the documents have leveled up as fast as me. Plus, I'm already eight years old, "Lin Sheng said seriously.
"Alright, I believe that you're a mature adult now. But to advance to rank 3, you don't need to prepare much. You can just go there. Low-level mages are all like this. But if you advance to rank 4, there will be many people watching. Be prepared, "Dora reminded him.
"Mm, alright." Lin Sheng nodded.
"In the blink of an eye, you've been here for a year. As your mentor, I've never given you anything. Since you've advanced to rank 3, then … I'll give this to you. "
Dora took out something from her robe pocket and tossed it to Lin Sheng.
Lin Sheng caught it and looked at it carefully.
It was a black gem carved into the shape of an eye.
"Dragon's Eye of Cheyenne. There's a protective spell on it. It can block all spells below rank 7 three times. Use it carefully, "Dora said casually.
Rank 7 spell …!
Lin Sheng immediately understood the value of this item.
It was a consumable magic item. Although it could only be used three times, it could block all spells below rank 7. Just this alone was enough to make this equipment worth hundreds of thousands.
This was a powerful treasure that could turn the tide of a battle.
"Thank you, Mentor!" Lin Sheng bowed seriously to express his gratitude.
"You're welcome. What you need to do now is to quickly grow up. Alright, let's head over now. Do you know the location of the test? "
"Mm, I do."
Dora didn't say anything else. She waved her hand, and an arched white door appeared on the empty ground.
This was a Door of Anything, a rank 4 spell. Lin Sheng knew it too, but he didn't use it often. After all, he was only a rank 2 or 3 wizard on the surface.
Dora took the lead and walked into the Door of Anything. Lin Sheng hurriedly followed behind her.
…
…
Within the promotion hall.
The acolyte promotion hall and the wizard promotion hall were right next to each other.
Currently, within the acolyte promotion hall.
Cinderella was mixed in with a group of acolytes. She watched as many of her peers walked up to the stage to receive their new apprentice nameplates. She was sincerely happy for them.
"What's there to be excited about? Isn't it just a rank 9 acolyte promotion? Why are they all so excited? They're crazy! "
Beside her, Miss Aurora, who had been chased out by Lin Sheng, was now angrily speaking.
Cinderella pursed her lips, too lazy to care about this fellow.
This Aurora thought that she had the strength of a rank 9 acolyte. Thus, the moment she arrived in the Granite Forest, she crazily applied for the apprentice rank test.
In the end, her foundation was fine in the eyes of those unaffiliated wizards. But here, in a large organization like the Granite Forest, she was mediocre and had many flaws.
After several tests, her flaws were completely exposed. Her understanding of the common knowledge of wizards and her understanding of spell models made her far inferior to other acolytes.
She even thought that as long as she could cast two magician cantrips, rank 0 spells, she would be able to become a rank 9 acolyte.
How ignorant was she?
