The time of study always passes quickly, and in the blink of an eye, another three years have passed.

On this day, Arthur came to the trading point and prepared to buy some items and make some preparations before leaving.

Before he knew it, Arthur was already 15 years old. As early as half a year ago, his progress in meditating on the runes was stagnant and he had been stuck on the eighteenth basic runes, and had no clue about the nineteenth runes.

But this is also normal. The difficulty of the third-level runes soared geometrically than before. This is the threshold for top apprentices and is not that easy to cross.

After all, the success rate of breaking through formal wizards is higher than breaking through top apprentices. After entering top apprentices, the more runes you meditate, the greater the strength and potential after breaking through formal wizards.

If you can meditate all 27 runes and then break through to the official wizard, then at least in terms of foundation, it will definitely be perfect.

It is said that Chris Wizard was able to suppress everyone else because of his high-difficulty achievement, becoming the number one person in the young generation of Ghost Maze, and even had the title of Night Son.

After Arthur's meditation progress reached a bottleneck, he realized that it was difficult to continue to improve by relying solely on learning, so he quit his position as a librarian and planned to take on a task to practice.

Breaking through bottlenecks in actual combat is actually a choice that most people will make. The black wizard who has emerged from the bloody storm will not be afraid of battle and death.

Instead of waiting for death, it is better to seek it on your own initiative. Maybe by chance, you will make a breakthrough naturally.

Arthur basically finished learning the knowledge that he could accumulate during the apprenticeship. What he lacked was the actual application of theoretical knowledge. This required time-based experience accumulation and no results could be seen in the short term.

Arthur has checked all the apprentice-level language books and materials in the library, but still can't find any information about that kind of text, and has never seen even similar fonts and language systems.

Arthur used his position to read almost all the other books and materials that were useful to him and those who were more interested in him.

In short, the position of librarian had no meaning to him, so Arthur quit the job without hesitation without any nostalgia.

The two brothers and sisters John and Lily took on a task two weeks ago and went out to practice.

The mission they chose happened to be in their hometown, Dulin City, which was not far from the Alexander tribe under the jurisdiction of the Moro family. They originally wanted to do this mission with Arthur, but Arthur refused.

First, he had some learning things to finish at that time, and second, Arthur himself did not want to do tasks with them, for fear of being implicated.

Before choosing a specific task, Arthur plans to prepare in advance, and then choose the appropriate task based on the preparation situation and his own strength level.

After all, it was his first time going out in nearly ten years in Ghost Maze and his first time taking on a training mission. Although Arthur was very confident in himself, he didn't want to die.

Try to do what you can, be careful and never make mistakes. It is better than being careless and then capsizing in the gutter.

In addition to the teaching area, the first floor of the Ghost Tower also has a mission hall and a trading hall. All three are officially owned by the Ghost Labyrinth.

The price of the official trading hall is naturally higher than that of the private ones, but the variety is complete and the quality can be guaranteed.

However, the high price is originally the original sin. Generally, apart from purchasing spells and some rare materials, few people go to the official trading hall, and most people choose to buy at some specific trading points.

But this makes people's eyesight more carefully. If you are deceived, unless you are outstanding in strength or have a strong background, you can still get justice, otherwise you can only admit that you are unlucky.

Of course, scammers are also very eye-catching, and they generally dare not provoke those with strong strength and strong background.

What Arthur was going to was one of the larger public trading points.

This trading point is also located in the Ghost Tower, but it is on the third floor of the negative, which is the part of the underground maze.

After Arthur reached the third floor of the negative through the teleportation array, he bypassed the narrow passage that was turning and walked for a long time before finally reaching his destination.

This area is relatively open. In addition to the small stalls everywhere, there are also stone houses that can be rented as temporary shops.

Arthur went straight to a remote stone house. The owner of the shop was a bearded uncle with a vulgar appearance. When he saw Arthur, his little eyes shone brightly and he shouted from afar:

"Senior Arthur, it's been a long time since I saw you. I'm looking forward to the stars and the moon every day, and finally I've come to you."

Arthur tried to know this guy's temperament as early as possible, and still couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

No one will believe this scene when he sees this. This guy who is so vulgar and unconventional is actually a top apprentice.

Although he was speechless and knew that the person in front of him would not care, Arthur would not forget the rules that should be followed:

"Senior Hood, don't be fine. You might as well call me Arthur directly. I'm really not used to calling me senior."

Hood touched the beard on his mouth and laughed: "Look at my memory, I always forget it."

"Arthur learns——No, Arthur, I haven't seen you for a long time, what are you busy with? I won't take care of my bearded business."

The store opened by Hood was rented for a long time and was named "Big Bearded Cabin". Hood always called himself a bearded man, but there was nothing wrong with it, which was quite in line with his image.

Arthur did not answer his question and directly expressed his intention: "I asked my senior to pay attention to the magical items I had before, are there now?"

Hood talkatively couldn't stop talking for a while, and Arthur had no time to waste time with him, so just be straightforward.

He also did not intend to tell Hood that he was preparing for the training task. Although he was already very familiar and trustworthy, he was always defensive and Arthur would not easily reveal his itinerary information.

After so many years of transactions, Hood obviously knew Arthur's personality very well, so he didn't care and answered casually:

"Of course, I don't look at who I am a bearded man. The goods have arrived long ago, and there are more than one or two items. Wait, I'll look for you."

After touching for a long time, Hood finally found what he wanted in a pile of goods.

During this period, Arthur's expression was calm.

After so many years of interactions, not only did Hood have a certain understanding of him, but Arthur also had a clearer understanding of his situation.

Hood is very strong himself. He is a top black wizard apprentice and ranks among all apprentices in the Ghost Maze. He is a figure of the same level as Senior Disi before he advanced.

His background is also very strong. His mentor is one of the three powerful vice presidents of the Ghost Maze, so he has a wide range of connections and channels, and he can always get good things that others cannot get.

But he became very low-key after becoming a top apprentice, so few people who entered the Ghost Maze knew him later. It was a coincidence that Arthur was able to know him.

So although he is sometimes very unreliable, he is quite reliable as long as it is related to the important matters.

What Hood took out were four wooden boxes, two large and two small, with a very ordinary appearance and didn't look like they were carrying any precious magical items.

But Arthur's eyes could not be removed when he saw these boxes.
