Wizard: My magic facility can be upgraded!

Chapter 81 Star Particle Mutation

The purple-robed elder smiled and first gave a brief self-introduction in a gentle tone before continuing:

"What a magnificent duel. Leon Carlson, you have demonstrated the extraordinary skill of the Lyrita elemental magic. This Well of Wisdom is yours. Your performance deserves this reward."

As soon as the Murphy faction leader finished speaking, an attendant respectfully presented a silver tray containing a small bottle of milky white liquid.

He personally picked up the crystal bottle and slowly walked up to Li Ang.

"Take it, child." He handed over the crystal bottle. "This is your well-deserved reward. May it help you go further on your wizarding path, and may you contribute your strength to the Wizarding Alliance in the future."

"Thank you for your generosity, Faction Chief Murphy. I will dedicate my strength to Lelita and the Alliance." Li Ang bowed and accepted the crystal bottle with both hands, his heart filled with excitement.

To prevent any unforeseen complications, under the watchful eyes of countless people, Li Ang uncorked the bottle and drank the milky white spring water in one gulp.

The spring water is colorless and tasteless. The moment it enters your mouth, it transforms into a comfortable coolness that quickly flows into your throat and then spreads throughout your body as if it were alive.

Wherever this coolness passes, the body feels as if it is being cleansed by the purest energy, all fatigue is swept away, and the mind becomes clearer.

Finally, all the coolness, like rivers flowing into the sea, slowly converged into his spiritual world.

Li Ang could clearly perceive that a faint moon-white mist was spreading around the four stable stars in his spiritual world.

As the mist slowly merged into the stars, Li Ang could feel his mental energy limit continuously increasing, but the process was extremely slow, and it was estimated that it would take several hours to fully absorb the effects of these springs.

After the awards ceremony, Li Ang returned to the rest area surrounded by his teammates.

Throughout the afternoon, he could feel the constant, subtle changes within his mental world, like a trickle flowing into a vast ocean.

He simply closed his eyes and meditated, guiding and adapting to this newfound power, while his teammates rested nearby, not daring to disturb him.

In the evening, it was once again his eighth squad's turn to carry out the guard duty.

Pushing open Celia's door, the atmosphere inside was even more stagnant than yesterday, almost suffocating.

Celia was still sitting behind her desk, but she had haphazardly pushed the parchments aside, and some even fluttered to the ground.

She lowered her head, her long golden hair falling down and covering most of her face, but Li Ang keenly noticed that her eyes were red-rimmed and the tip of her nose had a lingering redness, clearly indicating that she had just had a good cry.

Hearing them enter, Celia abruptly looked up.

Her unique golden eyes were now bloodshot, and her gaze was extremely complex, a mixture of resentment, shame, frustration, and a hint of... faint expectation.

Her gaze swept quickly across Li Ang and Captain Eric's faces, lingering for a moment on Li Ang, her lips moving slightly as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, she said nothing.

She suddenly turned her head, as if in a fit of pique, and collapsed onto the bed beside her.

Then, he grabbed a soft pillow and buried his face in it, leaving only his back to everyone in the room, exuding a strong aura that kept strangers at bay.

Li Ang and Captain Eric exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

It seems that the news I got from the sixth squad during the handover was true.

Well, let's just bury our heads in the sand. As long as they don't cause trouble for us, that's fine. Although Li Ang felt a little awkward, he could only keep his eyes down and stand dutifully in his position, letting the awkward atmosphere fill the room.

In the awkward atmosphere, time seemed to drag on endlessly. Apart from drinking water a few times and going to the toilet once, Celia just lay there pretending to be an ostrich.

The three of them finally managed to stay up until the early hours of the morning to change shifts.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Li Ang woke up naturally.

He immediately immersed himself in the spiritual world to begin sensing, only to find that the first condensed star had undergone a change, with a milky white ring forming around it.

He was startled, but quickly sensed the situation carefully and found that there was nothing seriously wrong. Moreover, his mental strength limit had increased to 45 points, so he was relieved.

He was secretly delighted; his mental strength had increased by a full 10 points, proving that the Fountain of Wisdom truly lived up to its reputation.

The remaining members of the eighth squad then gradually woke up.

When Miguel also woke up, he saw Leon standing there energetically washing up. He seized the opportunity and immediately came over, asking curiously:

"Li Ang, how are you feeling? Has your mental strength increased significantly?"

Upon hearing Miguel's question, everyone else, including Captain Eric, turned their curious gazes toward Li Ang, clearly filled with curiosity about this legendary spring.

Seeing this, Li Ang nodded frankly and said, "It has indeed increased quite a bit."

Upon hearing Li Ang's answer, everyone showed expressions of envy.

Today was the day to set off back to Lelita. After having breakfast, Li Ang and the others went to the top of the Stargazing School's tower to prepare to board the ship and return.

The sea of ​​clouds once again spread out beneath their feet, and the sixth squad on the deck was lined up, ready to begin their patrol. Everything had returned to how it had been before.

When it was the Eighth Squad's turn to carry out the inner cabin escort mission, Li Ang, Eric, and Elisa once again entered Celia's cabin.

Unlike yesterday's almost palpable low pressure and dejection, Celia's condition has clearly improved a lot today.

The detached indifference that had seen through everything returned to her face somewhat, but when she occasionally glanced at Li Ang, a look of inquiry would flash in her golden eyes.

The silence lasted for about fifteen minutes. Suddenly, Celia put down her quill, leaned back slightly in her chair, and, her gaze fixed on Li Ang, spoke calmly but with an undeniable authority:

"Leon Carlson, go get me a glass of water, lukewarm."

Li Ang was slightly taken aback. Such trivial matters as pouring water were usually handled by her own wizard attendants.

He hesitated for a moment, then replied politely:

"Witch Celia, your attendants are outside the door. Shall I call them in?"

Celia's eyebrows twitched slightly, seemingly surprised that Li Ang dared to refuse so directly. She emphasized, "I'm telling you to go now."

Li Ang remained calm and composed, speaking with neither arrogance nor servility:

"I'm sorry, Wizard Celia, my duty is to protect your safety, not to handle these chores. If you need any services, your attendants would be more suitable."

He paused, then added, "Furthermore, I am an apprentice of Eve Chloe, the Potions Master, and have no obligation to obey your orders."
