Next, Sunders told Angor about the research done in the wizarding world regarding the degree of compatibility.
"The quantification of spirit model compatibility was proposed by Wizard of Nature Runeberg a hundred years ago. Due to the conflicting nature of the concept, it was only known among formal wizards. Very few apprentices know about it, "Sunders said.
"Runeberg measured the compatibility of each talent with their spirit model from 0 to 100. If the compatibility is above 20, it's already very good, and you have a chance to become a formal wizard.
"As I said, common channeling methods such as Triangle Channeling can help some people become wizards, while others will waste their lives. That's because … these common channeling methods do not have any guarantee of compatibility. The lucky ones might have a high compatibility with Triangle Channeling, and they might break through the barrier of wizardry and become immortal. But for those who are unlucky, their compatibility with the Triangle Channeling Method may be zero, and it is possible that they will never be able to become a junior apprentice. "
"Of course, apart from these common channeling methods, almost every wizard organization has their own more valuable and special channeling methods. The reason why these special channeling methods are so precious is that they guarantee the compatibility! "
"For example, we have more than ten special channeling methods in Brute Cavern. The most common one is called 'Six-Sided Rhombus Meditation'. Any talent who practices this channeling method will have at least 3 points of compatibility."
Angor did not understand what Sunders meant at first. But as he went on, he gradually understood. "A minimum of three points … That is to say, if a talent learns this channeling method on the basis of three points, he or she will have a higher level of compatibility with this channeling method?"
It was like the hoop games in some amusement parks back on Earth. There were all kinds of toys on the ground, and you had to pay money to buy ten hoops. As long as you caught a toy, it would be yours. It did not matter if you did not catch a toy, as long as you bought ten hoops, the seller would give you a key ring, which was the so-called minimum guarantee.
In the same way, if a channeling method had a base value, then there would be a lot more room for manipulation based on this base value.
"That's right. Many special channeling methods have been passed down through generations of research by various schools of wizardry. Because of their compatibility, many people are eager to learn them."
"I see. Then why don't they let apprentices learn them from the beginning? "Angor wondered. Were they trying to keep them to themselves?
"Even if all the wizard schools decide to open up the special channeling method to the talented, the compatibility is not guaranteed to be high enough to become a wizard." Sunders asked again, "Do you know how high the compatibility level must be to become a wizard?"
How high? Angor did not know. But he estimated that someone with a compatibility above 20 could become a wizard. Then …
"60?" Angor felt that this number was reasonable.
Sunders shook his head. "According to Runeberg's theory, you need a compatibility above 95 to become a wizard.
"Not just anyone can achieve a compatibility of 95. There was no need for the major organizations to popularize their own special channeling methods just for an unattainable number. We can use a special channeling method as a targeted strategy. "
"So, generally speaking, if you want to get a special channeling method from a wizard organization, you have to pay a huge price."
He then turned to Angor and said, "You're right.
"I've told you what I should. Yesterday, I said I'll give you a chance to choose a channeling method. Now, let's begin. "
Angor's expression turned serious as well.
"First, I'll teach you the core channeling method of Brute Cavern, Montaus' Octahedral Channeling. It has the highest guaranteed compatibility among all the special channeling methods in Brute Cavern, with a guaranteed minimum score of 13." He continued, "If you want something, you have to pay for it. The price is to sign a contract with Brute Cavern for at least a hundred years. During this period, the organization has the right to do whatever they want to you, and you must obey unconditionally. "
A hundred years contract … and it was an overbearing clause that violated human rights. Angor trembled a little. He hoped the second part was better.
"Second, you can create your own spirit model according to 'Initial Glory' on the third shelf in the library." He did not mention the cost of this option. Creating a spirit model by oneself was not something that could be done by one person. The construction time of many models often required hundreds of years of repeated calculations and comparisons by the entire organization. Only then could it be completed.
Also, Initial Glory, which recorded the creation of the first meditation method, was not worth much. One magic crystal could buy dozens of books in the wizard market.
"Third, I'll recommend you a special channeling method. I don't know the minimum value of this channeling method, but it's very special. Also, this channeling method is not in my hands. It's not even in the wizarding world. It's in another plane. This plane is called the Nightmare Realm. "
…
Angor returned to his tent with a heavy heart.
He did not even take off his clothes. He threw himself under the soft blanket and did not move. He did not even care about Toby who was playing on his back. He was still immersed in his thoughts.
Sunders gave him ten days to make up his mind. He had to give him an answer before he reached the Goman Kingdom. Angor agreed. He needed some time to think.
The reason why he didn't make a decision immediately was because every choice wasn't a smooth path for him.
Should he choose to sign a hundred-year contract with Brute Cavern? Angor did not want to. He did not even know how Brute Cavern worked. Of course, he would not agree to become their puppet so easily.
However, after hearing about the other two options, Angor felt that signing a contract with Brute Cavern was easier.
The second option was to create a spirit model by himself. This path sounded simple, but it was not easy to carry out.
Sunders warned him that this path would be the most difficult one. Countless wizards died on this path one after another. Angor did not know how this option worked. However, he did not dare to try it since Sunders was so serious about it.
It took the entire Adept organization hundreds of years to come up with a useful spirit model. Could he do it alone? And in a short time, too? No way.
Angor had to give up on this option.
The third option Sunders gave him was even more difficult.
It was a special channeling method in the Nightmare Realm. Before Angor became a wizard, he read it by chance. When he was in the Nightmare Realm, he memorized the channeling method backward. He planned to use it to restart his life when he returned to the wizarding world.
Strangely, when he returned to the wizarding world, he completely forgot about the content of the channeling method. He only remembered his experience, and how the channeling method was really precious.
The Nightmare Realm had always been mysterious. So Sunders had to give up.
After becoming a wizard, Sunders went to the Nightmare Realm many times because of his talent. He also saw the channeling method again. But just like last time —
He could memorize the channeling method backward in the Nightmare Realm. But when he returned to the wizarding world, he could not remember anything about it.
The Nightmare Realm was one of the most special general planes ever discovered. It was impossible to memorize the channeling method using petty tricks. This was because the Nightmare Realm was both real and fake. What you saw might not be real. What you thought was fake might actually be real.
Sunders worked hard for many years without finding anything. He thought that the channeling method was not meant for him, so he gave up. Until Angor showed up.
Angor buried his head in the quilt. He still remembered what Sunders told him before he left.
"You have a special talent. You have a great chance to get the channeling method. My spells are mostly related to the Nightmare Realm, but I have to say that the Nightmare Realm is very dangerous. Wizards have a slim chance of surviving there. Therefore, you have to choose carefully. "
