Wizard Immortal

Chapter 123 Deduction

"The Damara family."

In the spacious room, listening to the middle-aged nobleman's words, Adir's eyes flashed with understanding.

The Damara family is a very famous family. It is said that there is a formal wizard in the family, making it an extremely powerful wizarding family.

In this region, the Damara family is renowned for its magical shipbuilding technology, and is said to have monopolized navigation in the surrounding waters, making them extremely powerful.

The person in front of him should be the wizard accompanying the Clady family on this ship, but the fact that he had reached the level of a third-class apprentice was somewhat unexpected for Adir.

Under normal circumstances, for ordinary ships like this, although some people would be sent along for safety reasons, it would be considered good if there was even one second-class apprentice on board, and it was extremely rare for third-class apprentices to be dispatched.

Seemingly understanding Adir's doubts, the middle-aged nobleman, Clady, spoke up: "I'm going to the south to handle some matters, so I'm traveling with this ship to serve as the accompanying wizard."

"However, I never expected to run into two adults on this voyage."

As he said this, a smile appeared on his face.

"I was surprised too." Adir smiled as he heard the other person's words.

The southern continent is inherently barren, and virtually all wizarding organizations and families are concentrated in the area near the northern plains. Wizards are rarely seen elsewhere.

In such a barren place, a second-class apprentice is already an extremely prestigious and rare figure, not to mention a third-class apprentice; to encounter even a few truly requires extraordinary luck.

After all, even in those powerful wizarding academies, a third-class apprentice is definitely considered a backbone.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Radel Simoko." At this moment, the white-robed old man holding an iron cane also chimed in with a smile.

"I am Adir Fakus." Adir nodded and introduced himself.

"So it's Lord Adir."

Hearing Adir's words, the white-robed old man in front chuckled, "I heard from Lord Kradi that Your Excellency Adir is preparing to go to the Bar Islands, is that right?"

Hearing this, Adir looked at Kradi with some surprise.

"It was one of the apprentices from our family who stayed at the port who told me this."

Seeing Adir's expression, Claudie explained, "Please understand, we register every adult who is a third-class apprentice before boarding the ship to avoid any unnecessary offense."

"I understand." Adir nodded in response.

Wizards are too destructive. If a third-class apprentice is not restrained by someone of the same level, he could easily slaughter everyone on the ship. So, we must be careful.

"I'm from the Bar Islands, and this time I wanted to go back to my hometown."

Standing still, after a moment's thought, Adir asked, "What is your destination, sirs?"

"I'm going to the Seymour Sea in the south to take care of some things."

Looking at Adir, Clady nodded while glancing at Rad beside him: "It seems that Lord Radel is also planning to go to the Bar Islands area."

"Not bad." Radel nodded in agreement with Claddy's words. "There has been a lot of turmoil in the Bar Islands recently, and I am preparing to go and see my people."

"Lord Adir must feel the same way."

He looked at Adir and said with a smile, "I think I heard the surname Fakus decades ago before I went to sea. It must be an ancient wizarding family."

Hearing this, Adir's heart stirred, but his expression remained calm: "I had heard about the chaos over there when I was on the mainland, but I didn't know the specifics."

"Could you two sirs explain this to me in more detail?" he asked calmly.

Adir was indeed somewhat unaware of the current situation over there.

Although the Duke of Arrieux would often send him messages, due to the distance, it would take a long time to receive them, and many things were very brief and not clearly explained.

In addition, due to the events in the secret realm in recent years, Adir left the academy and went to live in seclusion in the distant Kingdom of Gumodo. He has completely lost contact with them and doesn't know how things are developing now.

Standing before him, listening to Adir's words, Radel looked at him with some surprise before smiling and saying, "It seems that Lord Adir studies very hard. No wonder he has reached the level of a third-class apprentice at such a young age."

He clearly regarded Adir as the kind of ascetic who only cared about studying and meditating, and his words carried a hint of admiration.

Adir offered no explanation for this.

"Although the Bar Islands are scattered with countless small islands, the continent of Sir has always been the center, and it has the most wizard families, making it the most prosperous place in that region."

Standing still, Sidell explained, "The chaos over there started in Sidell. Several northern countries attacked the southern countries at the same time, destroying several small countries and dragging some local wizard families into it."

At this point, Siddel shrugged helplessly: "My family happens to be the royal family of one of those kingdoms, so to avoid my family being affected by this chaos, I have no choice but to rush back to check on things and prevent any problems from arising."

"Of course, we'll only know the specifics once we get there, since we're too far away to know everything immediately."

"Then, is there any news about the Principality of Kuma?" After standing still for a moment, Adir asked again.

The Duchy of Kuma was the duchy ruled by Duke Ariel. It was also located among the southern kingdoms. Although it was not particularly powerful, it was still an independent small duchy.

"The Principality of Kuma."

Upon hearing the name, Radel hesitated slightly: "I don't think I've heard of this name before; it must be just a small country."

"However, I know of the countries that have been destroyed on the continent of Sir in recent years, and the Principality of Kuma is not among them."

Hearing his words and standing before him, Adir nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

The third-class apprentices chatted in the room for a while before ending their conversation.

For the next few days, Kradi invited Adir and Radel to dine together every day, clearly trying to win them over and get closer to them.

However, Adir himself was not opposed to this and quickly became familiar with the two third-class apprentices.

Time passed quickly, and most of the time was gone.

One morning, Adir was sitting quietly in his room, holding a yellow book in his hand.

"It seems that although meditation methods vary from place to place, their specific effects are not that different."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Adir gently closed the book in his hands and murmured to himself.

During this time, Adir also gained some knowledge through his interactions with the other two third-class apprentices.

Apprentices like them, who are third-class apprentices, have generally accumulated quite a bit of experience to have risen from ordinary apprentices to their current position.

Through trading with these two third-class apprentices, Adir also obtained some things, such as basic meditation methods from other academies and families, as well as some basic spell templates, which could be used to enrich the chip's database.

Basic meditation techniques are not particularly valuable. By the time one reaches the second level of apprenticeship, they have lost most of their effectiveness, and they are almost useless for the third level of apprenticeship, only having a very slight effect on improving mental well-being.

Adir used only some magic stones to obtain two different meditation methods for his research.

However, the results of the study disappointed him somewhat.

Through experimentation, Adir discovered that although the methods of meditation varied from place to place, they were of little use to third-class apprentices, who could only rely on time to gradually improve.

"This shouldn't be happening."

Sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, Adir muttered to himself, "For a third-class apprentice, the effects of meditation are completely ineffective. Even if one wants to advance to a formal wizard, one must first meet the advancement requirements and then use specific resources to assist in the process."

"If becoming a full-fledged wizard is already this difficult, how will one achieve the next level—second-level wizard, third-level wizard, or even the fourth-level wizard who could conquer other planes in ancient times?"

Sitting on the edge of the bed, he muttered to himself, somewhat puzzled and speculative, "Or is it that there are actually more advanced meditation methods beyond basic meditation?"

In his heart, Adir was very inclined to believe this possibility.

Since it is called basic meditation, there must be more advanced meditation methods.

"But if there are more advanced meditation methods, why didn't Professor Edith tell me about them? And there's no record of this in the materials I've collected at the academy."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, thinking about these things, Adir was somewhat puzzled.

However, he had a vague idea about this issue.

If advanced meditation techniques truly exist, they are undoubtedly extremely precious. It is entirely understandable that wizarding organizations possessing advanced meditation techniques would completely suppress information about them in order to maintain their advantage.

On the other hand, it is also possible that the prerequisites for practicing advanced meditation methods are too high, and it may require a formal wizard to be able to access and practice them.

"The specifics of this matter can only be learned after one is promoted to a formal wizard. However, for now, we can try other methods."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Adir instructed the chip in his mind: "Chip, create a task: deduce a new meditation method based on the existing basic meditation method."

"Task established, database created, simulation commencing..."

"Basic meditation techniques are insufficient. Please gather more information..." The voice of the chip machine began to ring incessantly in his mind.
