Three days later, a piece of news broke the tranquility on Academy Island.

The Third, Seventh, and Tenth Legions of Black Sail are soon to commence a new dimensional war, and all who have attained the power of a First-class Wizard Apprentice can apply to participate, responsible for some logistical tasks.

This is also common in previous dimensional wars, with some less important and less dangerous chores left to the wizard apprentices to handle.

Wizard apprentices participating in dimensional wars don't engage in frontline battles; given their strength, it is very difficult for them to survive in the war, and the tasks they perform are relatively safe.

However, within a dimensional war, there is no absolute safety, and nobody can guarantee so-called absolute safety.

By simply participating in a dimensional war, one is bound to carry risks.

Nevertheless, for the First-class Wizard Apprentices on Academy Island, this is still an opportunity not easily found.

Black Sail offers significant benefits for the recruitment of First-class Wizard Apprentices, where just participating counts as completing the assessment for the First-class Wizard Apprentice stage, and no further assessments are needed thereafter.

At the same time, wizard apprentices will be directly enlisted into one of the legions, becoming a member of it.

Black Sail will provide a large number of contribution points based on the contributions of wizard apprentices in the dimensional wars.

With these contribution points, wizard apprentices have almost no need to worry about the resources required to advance to an Official Wizard.

Moreover, like Official Wizards, wizard apprentices own all the resources acquired in the dimensional wars.

Wizard apprentices do not fight at the forefront, so they usually do not gain a lot of resources.

However, they do not need a feast, just a little of the soup is enough for them to gain substantial harvests.

So, after the news came out, many First-class Wizard Apprentices went to sign up; none of them wanted to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Even many Second-class and Third-class Wizard Apprentices went to register, hoping to see if they could get an opportunity.

Black Sail's selection of wizard apprentices is relatively strict, and all those who are not First-class Wizard Apprentices were screened out.

Duke did not need to register, as he directly received a conscription invitation from the Third Legion.

After previously advancing to First-class Wizard Apprentice, he had been to the Affairs Hall to fill out the information.

Because he has skills in Magic Potion, he was directly noticed by people from the Third Legion, so they sent him a conscription invitation.

Duke could refuse, but he thought for a long time and consulted with Simon, Hela, Vivian, and others for their opinions.

Among them, Vivian preferred that Duke not go, considering Duke's safety.

But including Ms. Hela, all strongly recommended that Duke go, treating it as an opportunity.

As long as Duke accepts the invitation, he can directly become a member of the Third Legion.

Strictly speaking, having this layer of identity marks him as a true member of Black Sail.

Henceforth, unless Duke commits major treason, he will not be expelled by Black Sail.

Unlike other wizard apprentices, who must regularly undergo assessments, he won't need to attend assessments once he joins a legion.

After weighing it over, Duke chose to accept the conscription invitation from the Third Legion.

Indeed, participating in a dimensional war involves some risks, but risk and opportunity coexist.

After confirming, Duke immediately received a lot of information, all concerning the Third Legion and some details about this mission.

He joined a squad belonging to the fifth regiment under the Third Legion, led by a Level 1 Mage named Wein.

The war will officially start in a month, after which Duke will receive further arrangements.

Duke also received news from Merrick, and only then did he realize he was in the same squad as Merrick.

Talking with Merrick, he understood that it was thanks to Merrick's recommendation, through his connections, that Duke got this opportunity.

Otherwise, with Duke's just-advanced status as a First-class Wizard Apprentice, even with capabilities related to Magic Potion, the probability of being selected was still quite low.

"Rest assured, my teacher is also part of the fifth regiment and will be acting with us this time, so there won't be much danger," Merrick said.

After lengthy conversations with Merrick, Duke learned that Master Land was also a member of the Third Legion and held a relatively high position.

Master Land, as an Alchemy master, is of significant importance to the Third Legion.

This time, because the Beastman Plane is rich in mineral resources, which interested Master Land, he also participated in this dimensional war.

Naturally, Merrick, being Master Land's disciple, was brought along to gain experience.

Land himself hardly participates in combat, mainly responsible for research-related work, so following him is very safe for Merrick.

After learning about the matter, Merrick mentioned Duke, who left a good impression on him in the Wizard Arena before.

After Duke confirmed his participation in the dimensional war, he immersed himself in a life of tirelessly refining his skills.

He still has the new spells of Gravity Yellow Sand and Rock Wall not yet at the maximum level, and improving them would enhance his ability to preserve himself in the dimensional wars.

Besides skill proficiency, Duke also needed to speed up the refining of magic potions, exchanging for some magic stones, and then using the magic stones to purchase materials, converting them into his resources.

After learning of Duke's idea, Vivian did not try to dissuade him.

Being of knightly origin, Vivian was indeed somewhat concerned about Duke, but she gave more encouragement and appreciation.

Vivian brought Duke a pocket watch named Life Bell, a Level 1 Witchcraft Artifact.

The effect of Life Bell is that it restores the bearer's body and mental state to peak condition immediately before or shortly after death.

This is a life-saving witchcraft artifact, similar to the Substitute Death Grassman, and is also extremely rare, originating from the Wizard Organization Doomsday Bell.

This was a life-saving witchcraft artifact that Grace had given to Vivian, which Vivian now handed over to Duke.

"I'm very safe at the Thorn Holy Tower, I don't need this, you take it," Vivian said in a note accompanying the package.

Duke held the pocket watch tightly in silence, and nobody knew what he was thinking.

He then established a spiritual power connection with the Life Bell, sensing the lingering spiritual power information left in it by Vivian.

After establishing a spiritual power link, the pocket watch would automatically trigger in the event of life-threatening danger to Duke, granting him a chance to live again.

As time passed, a month quickly approached, and the start of the dimensional war drew nearer.

The recruitment of First-class Wizard Apprentices had long ceased, all names had been confirmed, and no further personnel were being recruited for the time being.
