Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 102: Breaking an Appointment and Keeping an Appointment

"Sir, do you want us to make travel arrangements for you?" Daisy, the maid, asked when she saw Ruge put down the invitation.

"From now on, you can open anything like this that's given to me. If it contains something boring like this, you don't need to send it to me anymore. Just throw it away. I believe your smart little head will understand what I mean."

Ruger waved his hand, climbed up from the recliner, and prepared to go back to start the next round of meditation. He felt that he was still a little lazy. Of course, he thought that it was the dog-headed man's genes that affected him, not that he was lazy. Maybe this was the nature of the dragon-born dog-headed man, even if the dragon blood was purified. He just didn't know if there was any spell that could make people diligent.

He muttered to himself as he stretched himself.

“You’ve been here a lot lately.

He found that recently even if Daisy was not called, this capable maid would take the initiative to wait by the side.

Daisy hesitated for a moment and said, "It's more reassuring to stay with you."

The maid gave a reason that surprised Luger.

"Why? Is the manor not safe?" he asked in surprise.

"No, no," Daisy denied hastily. After a moment's hesitation, she said, "There have been some bad rumors circulating in the manor lately. Although the butler has ordered the servants not to talk nonsense, there are still many bad rumors. I don't want to hear those things. It's quieter here."

Ruger nodded in understanding.

"About the Star Family?" he said.

Daisy lowered her head and dared not speak.

Ruger nodded again, walked to the second-floor cabin, and began a new round of meditation.

During this period, he entered the small house and used it to hide from others, and came to the abyss bedroom to meditate. There was no urgent matter and he was not worried about not being found. There was also a private space that could be concealed, which was simply perfect.

Today, Dashaheng and Aisijin did not come out to bask in the sun, but were engaged in a real combat competition in an open space in the bedroom space of the Abyss. After their last trip to the arena, they had already figured out the limits of their extraordinary healing abilities, so they were very relaxed and diligent, and could even resist the temptation of basking in the sun.

Amid the clanging sounds of weapons, Ruger entered a meditative state, with the clever bug coiling affectionately at his feet.

At the last moment before entering the meditative state, he was still thinking that if the clanging continued, he would have to change weapons for Aisijin and Dashaheng.

These two guys must have been under a spell to be diligent.

In his mental space, he stood on the calm sea of ​​mental energy, quietly admiring the beauty of his own mental space. He thought that he had been complaining about the slow progress, but perhaps he was just asking for trouble. He had achieved the third-level wizard apprentice in the pool of the mystery city, which was a bit of a trick, but even if he didn't go into the water, his advancement speed was still very fast.

Being silent in meditation is the best way to get rid of distracting thoughts. Runes began to emerge in the mental space.

He has already mastered nearly one-third of the new runes leading to the fourth magic scar. As long as the subsequent runes do not experience a major change in difficulty, he believes that he will be able to fully master them in a few months. Then it will be a matter of training until he can construct all the runes in one go.

After the success of this magic mark, the fifth and final magic mark would likely require twice as many runes, and each rune would be even more complex. However, according to his calculations, it would only take a few years to master. This was indeed a long process, but when compared to other things, it was rare for a normal wizard apprentice to go from zero to a fifth-level wizard apprentice in just a few years.

He thought he might need to conceal the time when he embarked on the path of wizarding.

Two days passed quickly.

Daisy appeared in front of Ruger with another invitation.

"Sir, this is another invitation from Findis. It mentions a farewell reception for a wizard master, and specifically mentions that the wizard master dislikes crowds and noise, so this will be a more private reception, with fewer people. It also says that the master specifically requested an invitation for you," said the maid Daisy. Ruger thought of the apprentice wizard who had bet with him in the arena. Since she was from the Findis family, she must be returning to the wizarding realm.

"Are there any other invitations in the next two days?" he asked casually.

"There are five more, all of which are from the balls of the city's nobles. I did not present them to you as you instructed." Daisy bowed.

Looking at Daisy's expression, she seemed afraid that Ruger would blame her. This was obviously a very difficult job for a servant.

Ruge raised his eyebrows slightly. He was surprised to receive so many invitations in just two days. Could it be that these nobles were so idle that they did nothing but dance and drink?

"You did a good job. Go down and have a rest." Ruger said with a smile and threw her a piece of fruit.

Daisy let out a sigh, then turned and left with the fruit.

Ruger saw it all. He looked at the invitation Daisy had left on the table and hesitated for a moment. He really wanted to know more about what was going on there. Every word on the invitation seemed to hit a chord with him. It even specifically stated that it was a private reception with few people.

Master Lorigo still had not returned.

Luger stopped tapping his fingers on the table and decided to go to the appointment to see the boring lives of the nobles.

He thought that after leaving the manor, perhaps he could lure out the man who had visited a few days ago, the one who refused to reveal his name to the servants and refused to force his way in. If that person was indeed someone close to the baron as the old drunkard had said, that would be quite interesting. He remembered the red-haired woman saying that the old baron also had a reclusive wizard and spellcaster close to him. Since he had come to talk to him after his fame spread due to the events in the arena, it was most likely that person.

He doesn't mind giving the other person a beating and seeing how good they are.

Maybe there's a way to get an unlimited ferry ticket.

The next morning he rang the bell rope and told Daisy to prepare for his appointment.

The Fendis family's cocktail party is in the evening.

Naturally, he ignored some of the nobles' rules, which saved Daisy a lot of trouble. She just had to communicate with the manor's animal cart, calculate the distance, and know when to set off.

After a busy day, he refused Daisy's company and got on the manor's animal carriage alone.

Amid the creaking sounds of the axles, he sat upright, perked up, and ate a piece of fruit he picked up, looking forward to possible unexpected gains.

But as most of the journey had passed, he gradually frowned. Finally, when the wheels stopped humming, he knew that his expectations had been dashed and that the hateful guy had broken his promise.

Maybe it will appear on the way back, he thought.

When he got off the animal cart, he saw a deep but not very tall castle. It seemed that there was a rule that no building in the city could be taller than the ancient castle of the Fanxing family.

Edgar Findis, whom he had met once before, was waiting there. Seeing him arrive, he immediately put on a warm smile.

Edgar strode forward and showed no surprise when he saw that Ruger was still wearing the same old robe.

"It's my honor to have you here. I hope you will be satisfied with tonight's arrangements." He said with a smile.

Ruger looked around and found that it was indeed a very private small cocktail party. From the parked animal carts, it could be seen that not many people came.
