Wizard: You can become stronger by living life to the fullest.

Chapter 3, 003: A Special Reason

One week later.

Luo Xi stood at the bow of the boat, leaning against the railing and gazing at the sea ahead. He saw several dolphins leaping out of the water in the azure sea, as if guiding the sailboat.

A school of colorful fish swam around it, and the splashes of water they made shimmered brilliantly in the sunlight.

Before he knew it, Luo Xi was completely absorbed in watching.

"Complete an effort to admire the fish, resulting in a critical hit, time added by 1 day."

Luo Xi opened the system panel and took a look.

Time point: 13 days.

If I stock up for one more day, it will be enough for two weeks. If I spend it all at once tonight, I should be able to raise my rune language to the 'Mastery' level, right?

Rune languages ​​and some knowledge-based subjects are divided into levels, namely, beginner, master, proficient, expert, and perfect.

Rosie has been diligently saving up time over the past week and has spent it all on learning runic language, resulting in a significant improvement in her runic language skills.

I've memorized the entire vocabulary list from the runic language encyclopedia Nicole gave me, and I have no problems with basic spelling.

Rosie had a feeling that she was only one step away from mastering the level. Nicole had told her that once she mastered it, her understanding of runic language would be greatly enhanced, and she was curious to know if that was true.

"Wow!"

Just then, a playful voice rang out. Nicole had somehow gotten behind Rosie and mischievously slapped his shoulder hard.

Luo Xi turned around: "You startled me."

Nicole let out a melodious, bell-like laugh: "Giggle, giggle."

While delighted, she also wondered, "What exactly captivated our genius? He didn't even notice the sneak attack from behind."

Rosie said, "I'm thinking about runic language."

Nicole's smile froze, and she frowned, saying, "Hey, do you really need to do this? It puts a lot of pressure on people, okay?"

Rosie's rapid progress in runic language dealt her a significant blow.

After all, it took her several days to get the hang of it, and she studied diligently for several more months before she could barely master it. Even so, her teacher always praised her for her exceptional talent.

She was always proud of this until she met Luo Xi.

Nicole couldn't understand why there was such a big difference between people. She had only been exposed to runic language for the first time a few days ago, but in just a few days she had reached a level similar to Nicole's.

You should know that Ryan and the others who started learning with him haven't even gotten started yet.

Luo Xi pondered carefully and said, "I see."

"Then it seems I should consider going to the alchemy workshop to see if I can make a pressure valve or something for you to install."

Nicole laughed so hard she bent over.

"Rosie, I really should have met you sooner and let you come to the castle to be my attendant. That way my life wouldn't be so boring, and I might not even have come to the wizarding world."

Rosie asked in surprise, "You came to the wizarding world just to kill time?"

Nicole's smile faded slightly: "Not entirely."

"A wizard can bring great rewards to a family, and I don't want to get married so early. Also, I'm interested in magic like everyone else, so I came here."

The historical context of human society here is similar to that of the Western Middle Ages on Earth. At the age of 14, one is considered an adult. Boys start working, and girls prepare to get married. This applies to both commoners and nobles.

She paused, then asked, "And you? Do you have any special reason for coming to the wizarding world?"

This question doesn't really mean much to Rosie, since he's not a noble like Nicole; he's just a commoner.

Ordinary people lived in great hardship in this era, basically having to work themselves to death. Becoming a wizard was nothing short of a life-changing experience for them, a chance to be reborn.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Luo Xi replied, "If there are special reasons."

"I guess it's because I want to treat my brother's leg."

The original owner of this body came from a commoner family in Northwind City, Rudin Kingdom. His father was a shoemaker in the city, his mother was a seamstress, and he had a younger brother who was only 3 years old.

One time, his parents went out, leaving him alone at home to take care of his younger brother, but he ran away because he was playing.

Unfortunately, his younger brother caught a cold and developed a high fever while he was out, and it wasn't until his parents returned later that they discovered it.

By the time a doctor was found, it was too late. Although he survived, he was left with chronic illnesses, his limbs became uncoordinated, and he could no longer walk.

The three-year-old child doesn't understand anything, he only knows that his older brother is still his good older brother. Every time he sees him, his older brother will still limp over to him with a smile and call him brother affectionately.

However, the more he did this, the more his heart ached, and he was constantly tormented by regret and self-blame.

So when he was unexpectedly diagnosed with a wizard's constitution, while the other children cheered and celebrated their changed fate, he immediately picked up his younger brother and wept with joy.

"You must, you absolutely must cure my brother's leg."

This idea was deeply ingrained in Rosie's mind and could not be disobeyed.

Nicole asked疑惑地问道, "Treat your brother?"

Rosie nodded and then briefly explained the whole story to Nicole.

"Complete an effort to repent, resulting in a critical hit, adding 5 days to the time limit."

The system notification suddenly sounded in my ear, and it added 5 days to the time limit. I don't know how it was determined. Is it based on emotional fluctuations?

Nicole sighed, "What an unfortunate situation."

She paused, then sighed, "But your brother is very lucky to have a brother like you who always thinks of him, unlike my brothers who are only thinking about how to sell me for a good price."

She looked up and said, "Let bygones be bygones. In the wizarding world, there will be a fresh start. With your talent, your brother's legs will definitely be fine."

"Hey? What happened to those dolphins?"

"Look! There seems to be something on the seabed!"

"What is that?"

"We made it! We made it!"

Just then, a few shouts suddenly came from the deck.

Suddenly, the dolphins and fish that had been swimming ahead scattered and fled. A huge black shadow appeared beneath the surface of the sea and rushed toward Rosie and her crew at an extremely fast speed.

Luo Xi's expression changed, and he quickly grabbed Nicole and turned to run towards the cabin.

However, before he could run a few steps, suddenly—

"Splash!"

Suddenly, waves several meters high surged up on the sea surface, accompanied by a giant object bursting out of the water.

It was a whale, a giant whale that was over a hundred meters long, which overturned Luo Xi's understanding of the world.

It leaped more than ten meters above the sea, like a towering mountain, and crashed down on Luo Xi and his crew's ship.
