Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 109 Soul and Appearance

Luger blinked and felt that he had learned something new.

In his understanding, the soul is connected to mental power, but mental power cannot be simply stated as its external manifestation. However, one thing is certain: the stability of the soul is related to the mental space. Lorigo's brother's soul was damaged, which was equivalent to saying goodbye to the path of a spellcaster, not just a wizard. Of course, in the wizard's world, anything is possible. If the Star Family gave birth to a genius and could hire a very powerful high-level wizard, then nothing would be a problem.

But I think it was just a life-saving treatment. Lorigo's brother was injured when he was a teenager. So many years have passed, and even if he was cured, he had missed the best time. If he doesn't make progress on the road to transcendence, he will regress.

He was hurt when he was at his most vulnerable. Similarly, spellcasters like Ruger who have already embarked on the path to transcendence are much more resilient than him. At least they will not be afraid of a bug that can only hurt a young man who has not practiced meditation.

"My elder brother was originally the hope of the family. My two younger brothers were much stronger than me, but they only had some knightly talent," Master Lorigo said. "Father didn't blame me. That was the only time I sneaked out and came back without punishment, but it made me feel even more uncomfortable. As I grew older and learned more, life in the family castle became more and more depressing. Eventually, we built this manor, and I've lived here alone for a long time."

Lorigo finally picked up the teacup he had been playing with for a long time and took a sip of fruit tea.

This is what Ruger usually asks Daisy to prepare. She has to have a cup after breakfast and dinner. He has selected three kinds of fruit tea to rotate daily.

"I thought you did it, but it turns out you were just being rescued," Luger curled his lips, "What kind of culprit is this? It's boring."

Master Lorigo was stunned for a moment by Ruger's words, but then he smiled.

Judging from Lorigo's expression, he probably thought Ruger was comforting him, but in fact, Ruger was really bored. Or maybe his expectations were too high. Ruger thought there would be some big drama, such as inexplicable love and hate, brothers killing each other, and disputes between the old and the young.

Luger shook his head and drank the fruit tea in his hand in one gulp.

"Then I'll look forward to your good news." Ruger said softly.

It seemed Lorigo was unaware of his own predicament, which meant he was unaware of Ruge's contributions. He even seemed unaware of what had happened to the Findis family last night. Ruge simply smiled, not bothering to explain. He believed such news would soon spread among the city's nobles, and naturally, would reach Lorigo's ears. The major families in the Catacombs City were likely to have spies on each other. For example, when a baron was seriously ill or injured, someone would leak the news under the guise of verification.

Ruger looked at Myrtle, who had beautiful red hair.

"I want to better integrate into this city. I remember Ms. Myrtle said that if I need it, she can help me buy a house in the inner city. Now I would like to ask you to do this, but not in the inner city. It would be best if it is at the intersection of the inner and outer cities." Ruge smiled.

Sometimes it's better to step back than to offer help. The size of a contribution can't be determined by boasting, and its importance can't be determined by just saying it. He also wanted to see what this young master would do.

"Sir, are you uncomfortable living here?" Master Lorigo looked surprised.

"I just want to be closer to life," Ruger said. "Just like you would go out to play, sitting in this manor all the time and enjoying it is like being isolated from the world. I can't appreciate the appearance of this cave city at all. Even if I live here for a long time, this city will only be a blur in my mind."

For a moment, Lorigo actually fell silent and seemed to be thinking about Ruger's nonsense.

Luger smiled and looked at the red-haired woman.

Myrtle was stunned for a moment, subconsciously looking at the silent Lorigo, then turned back and said, "Lord Ruge, if you don't have any special requests, it should be done tomorrow. Living alone will still bring a lot of chores. Why not let Daisy continue to stay with you? Perhaps you should also assign you a skilled cook from the manor. Don't worry, my lord, I will arrange everything."

Lorigo and Myrtle both looked at Ruger, as if refusing the maid and the cook was refusing a great deal.

"Of course, I like the meticulous Daisy very much. She is a good helper." Ruger accepted.

The two smiled again. Ruger glanced at Daisy outside the door, not sure whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for her.

But he was already looking forward to his new neighbors.

"Remember, it has to be at the junction of the inner and outer cities," he emphasized.

"clear."

The red-haired woman responded solemnly.

"I only hope you are not blaming me for my neglect," said Lorigo.

"My friends, I like to be casual with friends. This is what I always say, don't think too much about unimportant things. I just want to add something new to myself. Maybe a different environment can stimulate my inspiration and give me new ideas for spells." Ruger said.

Seeing Ruge say this, Lorigo stopped pestering and trying to dissuade him.

"That's a good thing, I have one more place to go. When I have nothing to do, I can visit Lord Ruge's home."

Lorigo seemed to find it quite amusing as well, and laughed himself as he finished speaking.

Ruger looked at him and felt that it would be easier for him to just concentrate on meditating and studying spells. This guy definitely knew some things, but he could still enjoy the little pleasures in life with a calm face.

Soon, hearing that Ruge was about to start his daily meditation, Master Lorigo and Red-haired Myrtle also announced their departure.

After the two left, Ruger called Daisy over.

"Got it?" he said.

"Your Excellency, Miss Myrtle has already told me that I'm very willing to go," Daisy hesitated for a moment and then continued, "If you plan to settle down in Starry City, I want to follow you and become your exclusive servant. I'll completely quit my job at the manor and no longer receive their salary."

Daisy said this sincerely, which was a bit unexpected for Ruger.

"It's reassuring to be around you, and you're a powerful spellcaster..." Daisy said softly.

Is this what ordinary people yearn for a spellcaster? Do they think he'll become a new elite in the city if he stays? It seems the status of a spellcaster still carries a lot of weight in their hearts, Luger thought.

"If I finally decide to stay here, I will definitely not forget you. You will become my housekeeper." He said with a smile.

Although the words didn't sound sincere, Daisy still looked happy.

In fact, when he said these words, he thought of the old drunkard. If he really failed one day and the source of his life faded away, then he would be like the old drunkard, staying away from disputes and choosing a cave city to quietly wait for death to come. Then he would most likely choose the Starry City as his starting point.
