Chapter 966 Missions Completed and the Next Step
Three weeks later, the alliance of {Tomorrow Blacksmiths} and {Golden Partners} was confirmed with Larissa’s approval.
Alliances and adding subordinates were very different things. An ally didn’t experience the day-to-day life of a faction, so they didn’t need to be considered as much. The important thing was to know in advance about problems and the duties and obligations of each side of the alliance.
The entry of a new member into a faction was something that required more attention, as every decision made by a newcomer could have repercussions for the group.
She had given little thought to the alliance with Theo’s group, having agreed that it would be of advantage for them to have an alliance with a group that would provide them with resources in the future.
Their faction still needed a lot to be fully operational, so for now, this was an alliance more for the future and with almost no immediate effect on their lives.
As such, Vicente and Larissa continued their normal routines as newcomers to Anicane, carrying on with their obligatory missions and activities with the sect that they had while they were Outer Disciples.
Vicente continued working in the Medicine, Combat and Forge Centers, continuing his studies in theory and rapidly improving.
At the Combat Center, he was gaining the confidence to think about fighting official rank matches, having already followed several official contests at home.
At the Medicine Center, things were going well and next month he intended to take a certification exam to gain his first certificate to prove his theoretical skills. If things continued to develop at their current speed, he felt that even before the end of his first year at Light Cay, he could become a 6th stage Healer and complete this compulsory activity.
As for the Forge Center, he was learning at a slower pace, but he was confident that he could also complete the mission related to that Center later this year.
But before he went ahead with some of his plans for Stonewall, he completed another mission this afternoon!
…
Seeing Vicente finish the 6th type of ritual, Elder Collins had a smile on his face, seeing in front of him a talent for becoming a Real Sorcerer.
“Well done, Disciple Vicente. You have completed your mission.” The rat-headed man said good-humoredly as he threw a coat of arms in the human boy’s direction.
Prisiche caught the item thrown by Collins in midair, which was necessary for her master to complete another mission and collect another 50,000 stone coins.
‘With this mission, the master will have 230,000 stone coins in his wallet!’ Prisiche smiled with satisfaction.
In addition to the training mission with Theo, Vicente had received his wage for the second month in Stonewall and also had coins left over from the previous month. Together with the 50,000 stone coins related to this other mission, he had over 230,000 coins in his wallet.
At the end of the ritual he had just performed, Vicente broke out in a cold sweat, but he couldn’t help feeling satisfied, even though he was exhausted.
He had learned rituals that were useful in his other professions, but that could help him even in combat. Also, he had earned coins to get something that would help him in the future!
Consequently, he couldn’t help but smile, already planning a few things.
‘I’m going to pay off part of my debt to Larissa and use some of these coins to buy resources… The time is coming for me to challenge someone ranked for an official match.’
He stood up and used a towel to dry the sweat on his face.
While he had many things on his mind, Collins stopped next to him and said something that caught Vicente’s attention.
“Disciple Vicente, did you enjoy learning the art of the Real Sorcerers?” Collins looked at Vicente with a twinkle in his eye. “Do you think there’s potential to be stronger and more complete by learning more?”
Vicente looked into Collins’ dark eyes and answered promptly, “Of course. That’s a spectacular art, Elder. Too bad nothing like that existed in Polaris Realm, otherwise I would have carried out missions that I could not complete.”
Even if he ignored all the increased power he had gone through to come to Anicane, considering only his current knowledge, Vicente was sure he could have exterminated the vampires of Polaris Realm if he could go back in time carrying only his memories.
Collins nodded in agreement, sharing Vicente’s thoughts, having been in this young man’s position in the past.
“What do you say to becoming my apprentice, Vicente?” he said as he placed one of his hands on the black-haired young man’s right shoulder. “Think about it. I’ve only taught you the basics. But I can help you become a 7th stage Real Sorcerer.
With the powers of a Real Sorcerer, you can fight and perform all your skills on a whole different level. You’ll even be able to eliminate opponents on the battlefield who are stronger than you, without using your magical forms!”
Vicente heard it and didn’t doubt it, having considered the usefulness of rituals in combat and other activities.
A ritual was, in a way, like a spell that used special artifacts and could have impressive effects. One could actually use it to fight and, in some cases, one could only face certain types of opponents through rituals.
This was the case with the Spectres, creatures that were difficult to deal with without the use of this kind of special activity.
Vicente knew he could win a lot and, more importantly, in Light Cay, one could have more than one master. As such, he didn’t hesitate to greet his new master.
“Disciple Vicente Fuller greets Master Collins. Please guide me in the arts of sorcery, master,” he said respectfully and sincerely, while the rat-headed old man nodded in acceptance.
“Very well, my disciple. From now on, you shall inherit all that I have developed and learned in my long life,” Collins said as a spatial ring materialized next to one of his hands.
“As a first gesture as your master, accept this small gift from me. I hope it will help you start your journey as a Real Sorcerer and help you grow stronger.”
Vicente received the gift from Collins and couldn’t help but be curious about what he was getting.
Even though Collins was only an Outer Elder, this guy was much stronger than him and had knowledge and wealth vast enough to make even some Inner Elders envious!
