The redhead appeared near Swan City mostly to wait for a ship.
Herag felt sowhat relieved after listening to Claude; the redhead’s teacher probably wouldn’t live much longer, or might not even be alive now, so he shouldn’t worry about anyone seeking revenge later.
"I’ll inform you as soon as there’s news about the ship. In the anti, focus on learning. Although I don’t understand wizards, the ones I have visited are all very knowledgeable. Knowledge is always the sharpest weapon," Claude said, his eyes filled with nostalgia, recalling sothing unknown.
Claude said sowhat ashadly, "Although I am your teacher, I actually have taken advantage, harboring so selfishness, hoping you could look after my descendants in the future."
Herag smiled, "Teacher, you don’t need to say that. You helped , and I will naturally take care of your descendants within my capacity. You must sacrifice sothing to gain sothing; that is the price, and I understand."
"Hahaha!" Claude laughed heartily, "You are indeed very suitable to be a wizard."
...
Ti flew by, and three months passed.
During these three months, Herag spent most of his ti in the library of Nosentan Academy.
Every book in the library was recorded by Shenlan. Herag first had each book scanned and entered into Shenlan, and then chose to read those that piqued his interest.
In terms of the Starry Sky ditation Technique, the ditation of the second star had been completed, and now he was working on the ditation of the third star.
"Herag rlin: Power 2.1, Agility 1.7, Constitution 2.9, Spirit 4.6, Magic Power 100%."
After successfully ditating on the second star, his physical stats such as power also increased slightly.
Herag discovered that the Starry Sky ditation Technique didn’t just add a little spiritual power from ditating on one star; the second star added 1.1 spiritual power, and subsequent gains should be more, but correspondingly, it would take more ti, and the difficulty of ditation would increase.
That single teor Grass had been used up, and later, Claude managed to find two more through connections, but no more teor Grass was found afterward.
Herag couldn’t do anything about it; such matters couldn’t be rushed, as resources on the Coleson Continent were indeed too scarce.
Emil, along with Jimmy and others who initially followed him, ford a rcenary group. After several successful missions, they made a na for themselves, and the group’s size gradually grew, now numbering over sixty people.
lissa said that when the opportunity arises to form a caravan, Emil’s group, possessing sufficient military power, could run the business without issues and make a lot of money.
During this ti, everyone had their own busy matters, and Herag spent less and less ti interacting with them.
For so reason, ever since Herag demonstrated a Fireball Technique, Jimmy and others, including lissa, seed to have a sense of awe, or rather fear, towards him.
Although they appeared normal towards Herag, he could still feel that hidden trace of fear from the depths of their hearts.
Emil, however, was the sa as before, always honest and straightforward with Herag, though recently, he appeared noticeably weary, with more signs of life’s hardships on his face.
His strength had improved considerably recently, and Herag estimated that Emil might hope to break through to Great Knight.
Herag once thought that Great Knight was the pinnacle of combat power in this world, until...
"Baron Buck concealed his parent-child relationship with Emil, and even Emil himself didn’t know; he must have had so ulterior motive, but..." Herag sighed, no matter what Baron Buck’s intentions were, they vanished into smoke with his death.
Herag’s peaceful days were disrupted on this very day of early spring when news ca from Claude’s side that the ship would arrive at the port of Swan City within five days.
The port of Swan City was large, having great geographical advantages, making it the largest port on the Coleson Continent.
Many ships docked at the port, and despite Claude’s advanced age, he ca personally to see Herag off, with lissa and Emil supporting him on each side.
"Teacher, you really didn’t have to co," Herag said with a wry smile.
Claude smiled kindly and said, "You are still young and don’t understand. Once you leave, we probably won’t et again in this lifeti; taking a few more steps isn’t much."
"Herag, just co back and visit often. Teacher, you are in good health!" lissa said from the side. She had grown increasingly womanly, completely unrecognizable from the girl she used to be.
Just a month ago, lissa confird she was pregnant, though it wasn’t noticeable yet.
The two had a simple wedding, with a group of people casually sharing a al; fallen nobles couldn’t afford to organize sothing big.
"You wouldn’t understand; the world of wizards is different from ours. The ti they spend on a single experint could equal an ordinary person’s entire life. Moreover, a voyage across the sea is no easy feat; returning isn’t sothing that can be done in a short ti," Claude said with great emotion.
Emil patted Herag on the shoulder, "You brat, don’t forget us. I don’t care if you’re a wizard or whatnot; you’ll always be that kid diligently training with the sword in my heart."
"Hmm, I know," Herag said, reminiscing about learning swordsmanship and breathing technique in the past, feeling quite sentintal.
"You are going to be our child’s future godfather; rember to take good care of him after becoming the noble Wizard," lissa said, touching her belly.
Herag nodded, "It’s just a pity I won’t get to see him born. Once I’ve settled there, I’ll write to you, and we’ll keep in touch."
"The ship is here," Claude suddenly said, looking toward the horizon.
Everyone looked over, and there was a ship moving rapidly at the horizon where the sea and sky t.
At first, it didn’t seem like much, but once the ship got closer, Herag and the others realized this ship was much larger than ordinary ones.
The ship had five layers in total, and its outer layer was wrapped in so strange tal, emitting a dark glow of unknown material.
On the deck stood over a dozen sailors, busy pulling sails.
Herag noticed that among these sailors, at least five were at Knight Level or above.
The ship sailed into the port and stopped; the sailors imdiately started unloading cargo from the ship, making it look no different from an ordinary rchant ship.
Claude explained, "This ship belongs to a wizard organization on the Kala Continent, mainly handling trade for money. Because their ships are sturdy enough to navigate dangerous seas, their crew is strong, and they have an official wizard onboard, capable of dealing with many situations. So their ships can travel far to buy and sell goods, making a lot of money. After all, the expenses of a wizard organization are huge."
"Transporting you Wizard Apprentices is actually just incidental. If there are apprentices, they take them along; if not, it’s no big deal."
Herag noticed soone standing at the ship’s bow, draped in a black hood; the person exuded a powerful magical aura.
Simultaneously, Shenlan issued a warning, "High-energy magical source detected!"
"It seems he’s the official wizard onboard," Herag muttered, looking at the person.
That person seed to sense sothing, turned to look at Herag, and then walked down the gangway towards him.
