Wizard Immortal

Chapter 623 The Mage and the Secret

There is no love or hate without a cause in the world. So-called fate is, in the final analysis, a kind of power, and is not something without any origin.

In the past, Mar had met several people favored by fate and had learned a great deal about their fates and experiences.

Among these people favored by fate, some suffered in the first half of their lives and only began to rise to prominence in middle age, while others had a smooth life from birth to the present.

But without exception, these people favored by fate are all influenced by other forces behind the scenes.

They are either reincarnations of deities, the resurrection of divine beings, or appointed popes, destined to bear the fate of a church's revival...

These people are certainly very talented, and they are more or less blessed by fate. However, the vast majority of them are influenced and empowered by the gods behind them to possess such immense power of fate.

But the Adir before me was different.

As a chosen one of destiny, his own favor is extremely powerful. In Mar's eyes, he is no weaker than the previous chosen ones of destiny, and is definitely a chosen one of destiny.

However, as a favored one of fate, this young knight was not influenced by any external forces. All the favor came from within himself, without any impurities, and was incomparably pure.

This means that his future fate is unpredictable and depends entirely on his own will and efforts.

"This is really exciting..."

Watching Adir's figure disappear into the distance, Mar smiled, a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

A person whose fate is unpredictable and has not been embellished in the slightest.

Just thinking about it made her feel excited.

"Zamana...you beat me to it, but our battle is only just beginning."

A thought flashed through her mind, and then in the blink of an eye, his aura gradually faded, making him look like an ordinary maid, completely unremarkable.

·······················

"It'll be soon, it'll be soon..."

A long sword was swung rapidly, creating a sharp gust of wind that hissed through the air.

Adir put down his longsword, feeling the surge of battle qi within his body, and a smile appeared on his face.

Having been in Tam City for more than two months, his strength is gradually recovering and is about to reach a new peak.

At this moment, he could foresee that in a few days at most, he would be able to break through that barrier and advance to the level of a Radiant Knight.

In the Wizarding World, a Radiant Knight corresponds to a Level Two Wizard, while in this world, it corresponds to a Gold Knight.

Once you reach the level of a Gold Knight, you are considered to be at the top in this world. Even the bishops of the major churches will show you respect on the surface.

"Your Excellency, the person you requested has arrived." At that moment, a voice gradually came from outside.

Adir turned around and saw his butler, dressed in a black robe, bowing and speaking to him outside the door.

"Let him in."

"Not paying much attention," Adir said casually, then went to a room to change his clothes.

After changing his clothes, he walked to the reception hall.

In the spacious hall, a few flowers and plants were placed around. In the central area, a fairly exquisite wooden table was set up with some food on it, steaming hot.

In front of the wooden table, a middle-aged man dressed in a blue robe, with a serious expression and a receding hairline, sat quietly, his posture dignified and solemn, appearing meticulous.

"It's a pleasure to see you, esteemed Baron Yaso."

Sitting at the wooden table in the center of the hall, the middle-aged man quickly reacted upon seeing Adir's figure outside the door, a smile appearing on his face as he greeted Adir.

"It's a pleasure to see you, Sir Phil."

Adir smiled as he looked at the balding middle-aged man in front of him, then sat down at the wooden table and looked at him directly.

The bald, middle-aged man in front of me is a mage from the Knights Academy in Tam City.

As a kingdom renowned for its knights, the Kingdom of Tamru has a large number of knights, but the number of mages is quite small, and they are far less powerful than the knights.

The middle-aged man before me was a mage working at the Tam Knight Academy. He was said to be a scholar who had returned from studying in the southern Kingdom of Kyle and was quite famous among the local nobles.

There are many minor nobles in the area who invite them to give preliminary magic education to the younger generation of their families during family classes.

"...A while ago, the Baron picked up the books I recommended. I wonder how they're progressing now?"

After chatting for a while, Phil casually asked about Adir's progress.

"I've read them all," Adir replied truthfully.

The content of a few books was not much for Adir.

Although the chip was not brought, Adir's mental strength was still strong, and he could easily memorize the contents of just a few books after casually flipping through them.

"Baron Yasuo is truly eager to learn."

Phil offered a sincere compliment, but inwardly he was somewhat unconvinced.

Having taught the local nobles for a long time, he had long understood what kind of people they were.

This is a group of people who are both lazy and hardworking. If you let them ride horses and play in the wild, or practice fighting, they might train for a whole day.

However, if you ask them to seriously read through books, one after another, complex, profound, and difficult-to-understand spellbooks, they would probably give up after only a few minutes. Even if they did finish reading, they would probably just flip through the pages casually and wouldn't be able to achieve a thorough understanding.

In Tam City, Adir was known as a knightly genius, and in Phil's opinion, he was probably the kind of person who preferred swordsmanship to books.

Although he didn't take it to heart, he maintained a good smile on the surface and even deliberately asked several questions under the pretext of checking the progress.

These questions are extremely simple and don't require any deep understanding. You can find the answers by simply flipping through a book. This satisfies the other person's desire to perform and also prevents their subsequent praise from sounding insincere.

To his surprise, Adir answered his questions without hesitation and even asked questions in return, raising doubts about some omissions in the book.

Soon, the topics they discussed quickly shifted, from simple and easy to understand to complex and profound, eventually becoming like a chat book, reaching a point where ordinary people simply could not comprehend them.

Wendy, who was diligently wiping the wall with a rag in her hand, listened quietly as the two people's conversation escalated. Suddenly, she frowned, felt a little dizzy, and began to doubt her own intelligence.

"Lord Yasuo, your talent is truly astonishing..."

After a long while, when Phil stopped talking, he looked at the handsome, tall, and dignified young man in front of him, who resembled a nobleman, and couldn't help but exclaim in genuine admiration: "If you were in the Kingdom of Kyle, you would definitely become a famous scholar and be enthusiastically taught by various colleges."

On the other side, Adir was unmoved by Phil's praise.

As a wizard, although his strength has disappeared due to the reincarnation of his clone, his past knowledge and experience remain unchanged, making it easy for him to understand the contents of a few books.

Therefore, looking at Phil before him, he felt no pride, but simply nodded slightly before asking, "The Kingdom of Kyle, what kind of place is that?"

"That is the holy land of mages, and the source of magic."

Phil said, "Just as knights are prevalent in the Kingdom of Tamru, mages are most prevalent in the Kingdom of Kael. Powerful archmages can be seen everywhere, and the strongest among them are even more powerful than the golden knights."

"More powerful than the Golden Knight?" Adir keenly anticipated this statement.

"Yes, even more powerful than the Golden Knight," Phil nodded earnestly.

"Within the magic academy of the Kingdom of Kyle, there exist powerful mages whose magic is enough to change the celestial phenomena and alter the course of the earth."

"Such a mage is known as the King of Mages in the Kingdom of Kyle, a being who surpasses even the Golden Knights and Golden Mages..."

"How many beings like this exist in the Kingdom of Kyle?" Slowly regaining his senses, Adir looked at Phil, who was somewhat bald but whose face was now filled with excitement, and asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, but the number shouldn't be large." Phil shook his head, unsure of the details. "Back in the Kingdom of Kyle, I was just an ordinary person and had no access to such powerful beings."

"However, there aren't many gold-level mages in the Kingdom of Kyle, and those who are known as the kings of mages are even rarer."

"Indeed." Adir was silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "If there were too many of these beings, the power of the Kyle Kingdom would probably be much greater than it is now."

"Indeed." Phil nodded with a smile. "The Kingdom of Kyle is not without enemies. On the distant glaciers, there is a powerful kingdom of knights, whose powerful knights have surpassed the Gold rank and reached a level comparable to the King of Mages."

"Even the Kingdom of Kyle wouldn't want to provoke such a powerful kingdom of knights."

"Even within the Kingdom of Tamru, such beings may exist."

As if remembering something, Phil suddenly spoke up.

"Hmm?" Adir looked up at Phili in front of him, his eyes filled with doubt.

"I spent ten years at the Tam Knights Academy and learned many secrets, including quite a few about King Tam."

Looking at Adir before him, Firi composed himself, then smiled and said, "More than three hundred years ago, King Tamu led a thousand knights to slay the Dark Serpent on the glacier, driving away the monsters and savages that infested this region. Only then could they gradually establish themselves and develop into the Tamu Kingdom we know today..."

"Given the power of the Dark Serpent, if the records are true, then King Tam must have surpassed the scope of the Golden Knight and reached the same level as the King of Mages."

"And such beings, barring any unforeseen events, will not die of old age in a mere three hundred years."

"You mean..." Adir seemed to understand something, and instantly grasped the other person's meaning.

"That's right." Phil nodded. "There's a high chance that King Tam is still alive..."
