Super Dimensional Wizard

Chapter 16 Three Major Branches

On the Month of Frosts Descent, fine snowflakes floated down from the sky, and even the distant sea froze into ice.

On the long mountain road near the sea, a tall black wooden carriage drove forward slowly.

The coachman held the reins in one hand, and reined in the roped high horses with fine saddles. In his other hand, he held a small copper heater, drawing it closer to his frozen face while turning on the stove from time to time to feel the faint heat escaping from the vents.

There was a sliding window on each side of the black lacquer carriage. One of the windows was pushed open, and a beautiful girl blinked her eyes and peered out to look around.

Just as the girl was observing closely, a fleshy hand reached out from the side and closed the open window.

“Ah. Achoo! Irene, it’s so cold, don’t open the window like that. I’m about to be frozen stiff by the wind.” This chubby and loveable young man said in a childish voice.

Irene responded: “Ehh, brother is so useless! I can’t stand this stuffy air. You see, Brother Pat didn’t say anything as you were screaming at how cold it was throughout the journey.”

In this carriage, it was Morrow and his entourage who had left Grud Town.

Angel lay down inexplicably, and instead of joining the argument between the two siblings, he smiled gently and quietly stayed to the side of the car. Next to him was Morrow, who had been meditating with his eyes closed.

Allen curled his lips and murmured, “I know Brother Pat, he is a brother like me.”

Irene’s ears were sharp, and when she heard Allen’s words, she was not dissuaded. She just hummed and secretly rolled her eyes at Allen, she then leaned over to Angel and chatted with him; unfortunately, Irene the topics she pursued were seldom very far. Most of the topics mentioned were the jokes by aristocrats in the capital.

Although Angel did not have much interest, he did not interrupt Irene’s self-talk, and also nodded from time to time, seemingly serious about conversing back, but in fact, he was still immersed in his own ideas.

That day, when Morrow offered him the condition that as long as Angel promised him, he would hand him the Healing Ice Coffin magic scroll.

Angel finally agreed to Morrow’s condition, which did not sound too harsh:

As long as Angel advances to a second level wizard apprenticeship, he must accompany Morrow to explore a relic.

As for what relic, Morrow did not say much, but he made it clear that he did not know whether the relic was dangerous or not. Although this trip may end up sinister, but after all, the premise was becoming a second level wizard apprentice. It took Morrow nearly a decade to advance to the intermediate apprentice, and Angel himself did not even know whether he would be able to advance to a wizard apprentice at all.

So Angel felt that he had nothing to lose in this exchange, he traded possible danger for the Healing Ice Coffin scroll.


After casting the Healing Ice Coffin on Mentor Jon, Angel stayed at the manor for another day, he packed his luggage and set off with Morrow on a journey the next day to the unknown lands after saying his goodbyes to Leon.

That night the moon was full, but the cold from the winter night was so severe that even the experienced coachman had to stop to look for a temporary shelter while waiting for the night to pass.

On the huge half-sunken mountain, they set up a camp fire while coachman tied the horses to one side.

Allen was pitifully wrapped from his legs up, looking like a meat dumpling, saying that, “Its cold.”

“You, you really can’t bear the cold. You’ve gained this weight for nothing!” Irene said through her chattering mouth, still holding a look of concern for her brother in her eyes, she did not forget to take out her thick cloak and wrap around Allen before he went to his tent.

Morrow looked at the interaction between his two grandchildren and smiled with his eyes. He waved his hand gently and a green ball of light crept into Allen’s body.

“This constant temperature spell can last ten hours. However, after all, the use of magic is not a long term solution, since your small body is deficient, we will have more exercise every day after this, and the physical improvement will naturally make you unafraid of the cold.” Morrow said to Allen, “If you have a blood talent, this will greatly improve your physique when you begin practice.”

Allen nodded foolishly. After the green light entered his body, he clearly felt the change in the temperature around him, and his heart became more curious about spell craft.

“Grandpa, haven’t we already tested our talents? Does the talent ball test not count, and going to White Coral Floating Island College, do we still have to test it again?” Asked Irene doubtfully.

Angel also pricked his ears up, this question was something he also wanted to know. When he tested his talent that day, what happened to him was so strange that he privately asked the siblings their tests. When they had tested, Irene heard a murmur and Allen saw an extra piece of brown bread on the plate. Although there was a ‘change’, this ‘change’ is still within reason.

When it was Angel’s turn, he straight crossed to another world! This is simply unthinkable.

Although Angel’s encounter counted as a ‘change’ for talent testing, he was not convinced. So, when Irene asked more about the talent test, it immediately attracted his attention.

Morrow smiled and stroked his beard and said to Irene, “The Eye of Abellas can only test whether a person has a talent or not. As for the bias regarding the talent, this cannot be tested here. When you get to White Coral Floating Island College, there will be a more detailed talent test, and you will know it then where your talent falls.”

“But until then, I would like to remind you. College talent testing is also not comprehensive, even if it was detected that you favor one element over the others, you don’t have to really pursue that element, it all still depends on what you want to do.”

When Morrow said this, he suddenly paused: “By the way, although you can learn magic from most departments regardless of talent, there are still some departments that study will be unable to aid you, such as some special departments of the mystical branch. For example prophecy, astrology and so on, this still requires the corresponding talent for the department.”

“As for wizard branches, I haven’t spoken enough about the topic. Let’s talk about it together together.” Morrow further explained: “There are many paths to being a wizard, after tens of thousands of years of constant improvement, the system is more or less complete. There are many branches in the system, but I will not underscore each of them one by one, I will only mention the three most prominent of the three major branches currently recognized by the wizard community.”

“One branch is elemental magic, it includes the natural composition and origin of all things.”

“Another branch is blood magic, which has one fuse the blood of powerful creatures to strengthen oneself.”

“The last branch regards mysterious magic, I don’t know much about this branch.”

“These three branches basically cover all the current systems in the wizard community. In addition to these three major branches, of course, there are many related systems, such as alchemy, summoning, and so on. But alchemy or summoning basically has some involvement in most wizards lives, it only depends on how much involvement there is. Of course, there are also wizards, with this auxiliary system as their branch, but these people are very far and few.”

“Of the three major branches, elemental magic has the most people, and basically all wizards dabble in element magic; mysterious magic is the rarest, and the distribution of power is the most peculiar. The strongest are extremely strong and the weakest being extremely weak, mainly because the system under the mysterious system is too complicated. Among them, the most famous representatives in the southern region is the Arcanist Mantola and Phantom Master Sanders, both of whom are level two mysterious wizards. But in contrast their strengths are very different.” When Morrow mentions these two, he is filled with a lot of emotion.

“As for blood magic.” Morrow snorted, as if thinking back on some bad memories, said in a slightly less emotional voice,” Most of the practitioners are erratic, their tempers overbearing, but their battle prowess is strong and extremely aggressive.”

Morrow’s words made everyone begin to think.

Irene asked curiously, “What department does Grandpa belong to?”

“Me, well, in terms of the three major branches, I can be regarded as belonging to the fire system on a side branch of elemental magic, but most of my energy is spent focusing on magic lines, which should belong mostly to a wizards auxiliary magic.”

The question and answer session lasted for most of the day, and evening night became more lively, even the distant mountains and woods have become mere shadows, appearing like teethes and claws to the wild beasts.

The group felt a little tired and gradually all headed off to sleep.

Angel lay in the shabby tent with a glimmer in his eyes, tonight’s conversation deeply touched him, he did not expect that there would be so many categories of wizards. Just one elemental side branch creates a fire system, but there are also steaming fire, lava fire, and cold fire. The branch also includes a mixture of these elemental magics.

Specialization or being jack-of-all-trades can still allow one to set foot on the path of truth.

Under Jon’s enlightenment, Angel has gained a curiosity regarding everything, especially when Jon talks about the incredible phenomena in the universe.

If he can become a wizard, can he explore these unknown mysteries in the future?

Angel fell asleep with these expectations for the future.
