"Hey, where did you buy these dresses from?"
"Hmph, I am not telling you where I got it from. If I say it, my uniquess in the harvest festival will be gone."
"Co on, can't you help this brother out for once?"
"It's from road number 67 and B-block, third building. Although the clothes are expsive there, they can be bought for a lot."
"Eh, wife, why did you say it?"
"Kekeke, at least you have a ssible wife now. I am going to buy it, cya." The man hurriedly left.
The other man looked at his wife helplessly.
"Husband, you don't have to be so ssitive about such a thing." The woman said with a smile.
"Fine." The man shook his head while grumbling.
Aur's ears twitched wh he heard the words "the harvest." "I forgot about it." He thought with a sigh.
Since he was so busy with Leo's scheming and other things, he had nearly forgott about the festival yet. The tire village will celebrate at the harvest festival. After all, it was not only the season to earn all the hard work they did that year, it was also wh rchants from outside would co, carrying and trading things.
"This might be a chance for William yet again for him to improve yet again…" A sneer ford on his face.
Before long, he returned back to his room with the blue panel flickering in front of him.
"Hmm, what should I do now?" Aur thought as he laid face first into the bed, lazily moving his legs to and fro without a care.
"Muscle system," he said with a lazy gaze as the blue panel flickered before materialising in front of him.

"Let's use the minor point now." Aur stood up with his eyes glinting with ergy, sitting cross-legged on the bed.
Aur had gott these minor points from his breakthrough from early mage apprtice to mid mage apprtice. At least that is what Aur believed it to be.
"This is very comfortable." Aur preferred the bed rather than the floor. After all, the soft sitting made it comfortable for him. Although with how strong his bones have beco, he didn't feel much pain from sitting on the floor, but he just didn't like the feeling of it.
Besides, wherever he sat didn't matter at all as long as Aur could create a clear mind without any distraction, only focusing on the it for the best and effective thod.
Ev with the relatively advanced way these villages were, ditation was still the best and effective way for one to focus on one thing without being distracted by mundane things. It has beco a common practice here.
Taking a deep breath, Aur cald his distracting thoughts as much as he could, focusing on his breathing rather than his thoughts and inhaling and exhaling in a set pattern that filled his mind with calmness and peacefulness.
Finally, he looked at the blue panel in front of him and imagined pressing the minor point of his future seer.

Boom!
Aur slowly closed his eyes, almost like he was sleeping, his body imdiately losing its support and falling to the bed.

"You are the hero of the village, Sebastian."
"Hahaha, you are praising too much." A small-frad man said with a smile on his face. The man had a distinctive big nose and black hair and eyes, wearing a simple shirt and pants that showed how skinny and short-statured the man is.
In front of him were countless people who were praising him.
Before long, everyone left the house while praising him, ev outside the house, which caused Sebastian to smile in glee.
"Hahaha, now I can finally be respected in the village." He laughed aloud wh he was all alone.
"Now I just need to marry a woman and live out the rest of my life without any trouble."
After he laughed ough like a madman in his empty house, he finally stopped with a little embarrassmt.
"Why am I acting like a psycho now?"
He wt towards his bed and took out a ring with a glee on his face. Once he rubbed the ring, a "whooshing" sound, as if soone was cutting the very air itself, resounded in the place.
As a blue, transpart figure of an old man appeared in front of him, the old man had a long beard and was wearing a sage dress, with his eyes eerily calm and unmoving.
"What is it, child?" He spoke with his mouth slightly curved upward, almost like a half-hearted smile.
"Master, I gave the inheritance to the village." The man said while bowing politely.
"Oh," the sagely old man was intrigued. "Th what am I doing here? I should just disappear." He said with a self-deprecating laugh.
"Huh?" Sebastian was shocked wh he heard this. "Why are you leaving?"
"Didn't I already say that?"
"But… but didn't you give a choice?" Sebastian asked with a horrified expression on his face, ttatively looking at the figure of the old man.
"Yes, I did give you a choice, however, I didn't say that there were no consequces to your action. So I am leaving." The sagely old man said while shaking his head with a sigh.
"Nooo! You can't leave ! If you go, I would be that ordinary man who is mocked by everyone in the village. Although they call the hero of the village, however, if I don't show my talt, I would be worthless in their eyes. What about my dream of marrying a beautiful woman? Considering my status, it will be impossible." Sebastian cried like a baby with his eyes filled with despair.
"Well, that is not my problem." The old man turned a blind eye to Sebastian and left the place.
The ring in Sebastian's fingers slowly turned into dust, as if it didn't exist at all.
"Damn it." The loud, boiling rage of his erupted, seeing the old man leave without remorse.
"I had hoped that the bastard would take pity on ." Sebastian remarked with a glint of regret in his eyes.
However, he soon shook his head as his pitiful crying expression had turned to a cold one.
He rubbed his eyes one last ti, removing all the crying he had done previously.
"Oh well, I still have the reward distributed by the village themselves. I don't need to care about that old man anyway." He walked up to his bed and took out a box from underneath his bed.
Seeing the almost half-purple mana crystal that filled the large-sized box to the brim, he couldn't help but nod his head with excitemt.
"No matter how bad my talt is, I can get stronger as a wizard. Humph, I don't need that old man anymore." He thought.
"Oh right, I forgot sothing."
Suddly, Sebastian froze in place with a shiver down his spine. He chanically curved his lips upward and turned a.
