Wizard's Journey

Chapter 274 The Enlightener

Green and Yorkriana searched the Panlongwood Mountains for over ten days without finding anything...

Half a month has passed in the treacherous Western Regions, and Green and Yorkliana still have no results...

In the blink of an eye, a year has passed.

An anxious Green looked down at the city from the sky and said in a low voice, "Leona, where are we now?"

"This is the border region between the Dark Wizard faction of District 12 and the Light Wizard faction of District 19. This small city is called Europa. And our destination is the Bone-Melting Cave, which is 300 kilometers ahead. It is a natural underground labyrinth, which is very advantageous for Dark Wizards to hide in."

Before Yorkriana could finish speaking, the myna bird perched on Green's shoulder grumbled, "Young master, I think we should go down below and scout things out first, grab something to eat, and then we'll talk. Our mouths have been practically parched these past few days..."

A faint smile appeared on Yokriana's withered and wrinkled face.

These past few days, the more Yorkriana looked at the myna, the more she liked it, so she nodded to Green and said, "Well, why don't you go down and rest? You haven't had a bath in many days."

After thinking for a moment, Green nodded in agreement, feeling troubled.

With a cheerful, mischievous laugh, the myna flapped its wings and flew off towards the city below.

……

The Abbotton Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Europa.

With a hunched back and a forced smile, Peter carried a rag on his shoulder in one hand and a plate of food in the other, quickly serving dishes to the customers downstairs, hoping to earn some tips.

A moment later, when Peter returned, he looked annoyed and muttered, "Poor bastard, won't even give a penny more."

call!?

Just then, a surprised exclamation came from the people in the hotel. When Peter turned around, he was astonished to see a beautiful, plump myna bird flapping its wings and landing on the dining table.

"Hmm? Whose pet is this that has escaped?"

Peter was exasperated, but he didn't dare hurt the beautiful, chubby myna bird. He could only slap the table with a rag and yell, "Go away, little guy, don't play here, go somewhere else."

"You bastard, do you want to die?!"

When the myna bird saw the handyman swinging a rag at it and trying to get rid of it, its feathers stood on end, and it barked fiercely.

"Oh my god!" Peter was startled and took two big steps back to hold onto the table, staring at the myna bird in horror.

The myna bird can talk, that's true, but this expression? This tone of voice!?

Just then, gasps of surprise came not only from inside the hotel but also from the streets.

After an incredibly oppressive silence, the two wizards slowly landed on the ground and entered the hotel.

Two wizards, one an old witch and the other wearing a mysterious white mask, ignored the gasps of surprise around them and sat down directly next to the myna bird.

In an instant, the pedestrians on the street disappeared, and the people in the hotel also left one by one in fear and silence.

Unlike the knowledgeable people in central cities and the ignorant people in small island towns, the legends about wizards among ordinary people in outlying cities, especially those within the Dark Wizard Academy, have always been mysterious, cruel, and terrifying.

The emergence of dark wizards in recent years has further fueled these rumors.

The evil and power of wizards inspired fear and drove people to flee. Rumors even circulated that nobles and wizards were colluding in conspiracy…

The Black Wizard Apprenticeship has only been circulating in the remote cities of District 12 for a few decades, but in the eyes of ordinary people, half a lifetime has passed, their changed perceptions are deeply ingrained, and the wizard legends passed down by the older generation have long been forgotten.

Some rumors even claim that the selection of wizard apprentices every ten years is actually carried out by evil wizards who eat children's eyeballs and internal organs to make meat paste, and drink virgins' blood and hair to make carpets...

No wonder.

Generally speaking, once selected children enter a wizarding academy, even if a very small number survive, they will only return to their birthplace in ordinary human time a hundred years later, by which time everything will have changed.

A century is a very long time for their parents and for ordinary people, but the legend has been passed down.

Therefore, it's no wonder that their parents consider them dead; it's simply a difference in the level of life, making communication impossible.

Even wizards who wield supreme power disdain explaining anything to these lowly beings.

"Witch... Wizard... What are your orders, Master?" Peter said, almost wetting himself with fear, his teeth chattering.

"Hey, what kind of bat meat dishes do you have here? Let me see," the myna bird asked.

Peter's face turned extremely pale; he was almost in tears, wailing, "No, no, there's no bat meat here."

At this moment, Peter feared that saying those words would lead to two terrifying old wizards saying, "Since there's no bat meat, we'll eat you..."

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Just then, a large, fat man with ornate rings on all ten fingers and a soft black cat in his arms came running down from the second floor, panting heavily. Upon seeing the two wizards, he ran straight towards them.

Unlike commoners, Abaddon, a wealthy merchant who frequently associated with many nobles, knew some wizarding secrets.

Those godlike figures, if treated well, will reap unimaginable rewards.

Because they only pay with a high-level currency called Magic Stones!

"Boss..."

Peter, with a long face, saw his boss coming and it was like seeing a savior; he almost knelt down and hugged the fat man's leg.

"Get out of here, you useless thing!"

The fat man cursed Peter, but to Peter it sounded like a voice from another world. At that moment, Peter was so moved that he wanted to hug the fat man and kiss him hard.

Finally, he could leave those two man-eating devils behind. Peter took off running and disappeared without a trace.

The fat man grinned from ear to ear, looking completely harmless. It was truly difficult for him; how could such a fat guy bend over so far?

"Esteemed wizards, is there anything we can do for you? We are happy to assist you..."

"Ugh! Ugh... It's that damned black cat! Boss, stew this black cat for me, make it into candied black cat! Today, Eighth Master is going to get my revenge!"

When the myna bird saw the black cat in the fat man's arms, it seemed to have been greatly shocked, and it started to squawk and jump around.

The fat man was also startled, staring in shock at the myna bird jumping around on the table, while tightly hugging the black cat in his arms.

This……

Is this the power of a wizard, turning a myna bird into such a monster? Or perhaps a person turned into a myna bird? Or is this myna bird some kind of legendary fairy?

Green didn't speak. Yorkriana looked at the menu, and after rattling off a string of names in a hoarse voice, seeing the fat man still looking dazed, she said ominously, "What, is there a question?"

"This...this, this parrot...um, the parrot says it wants to eat candied black cat..." the fat man mumbled, while keeping a close eye on the old witch's expression.

This precious baby, who's been with me for seven or eight years, is so hard to part with; it's practically my son...

Moreover, while candied bananas are occasionally served to noble gentlemen, what's with the candied black cat?

Even if wizards are as evil, cruel, and perverted as rumored, can cat meat be eaten?

"What? No honey left? Can't we make it?"

Honey is a precious condiment among ordinary humans, and Yokliana, who comes from a hunter family, vaguely remembers it from her childhood.

With a muffled groan, Yorkriana took a crystal glass bottle from her bosom and handed it to the fat man, saying calmly, "Use this; it's cotton candy nectar."

The fat man, his face contorted and flushed, took the crystal glass bottle from Yorkriana as he panted.

The ways in which people at different levels think about problems are vastly different.

Looking into the cold, indifferent, and cloudy eyes of the terrifying old witch in front of him, the fat man really didn't have the courage to say anything more. He gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and turned to leave with a mournful face.

"Hehe, Yorkriana, I bet he's never received anything from a wizard before, he's almost crying with excitement. I'll remember this meal you treated me to, and I'll definitely do it again next time..."

Mynah's impression of Yorkriana has greatly improved this time, and she is extremely satisfied.

A smile appeared on Yorkriana's withered face. She liked this myna bird more and more. If only her old squirrels were still alive.

That year, there was me and my brother...

After half an hourglass.

The three of them took a few bites of the "sumptuous" delicious food, wiped their mouths, and realized that the food held no appeal for the wizards who had lived for hundreds of years.

And as it turns out, the candied black cat food was extremely unpalatable.

Even the vengeful myna bird couldn't help but yell, "Damn it, black cat meat is awful! I'll never eat it again!"

Amidst the fat man's tense, excited, and eager expression, Yorkriana tossed a few magic stones and said calmly, "Prepare two rooms with hot water."

"Yes, yes, yes."

The incredibly excited fat man took the magic stone, turned around and disappeared without a trace, even the grief of the black cat that had just died in his arms vanished without a trace, he was extremely excited.

With indifferent expressions, Green and Yorkriana, who were about to get up, suddenly paused and turned to look at the figure walking slowly towards the hotel entrance with several nobles.

Ok?

This red-eyed frog, this wizard...

"Master Arowoz!?"

Green and Yorkriana both stood up, exclaiming in disbelief and surprise, startling the myna bird that was preparing for its post-dinner rest. The myna bird stared wide-eyed at the suddenly appearing wizard.

The person before them was none other than Arrowze, the wizard who, two hundred and seventy or eighty years ago, represented the Lilith Hut Wizarding Academy in District 19 of the Seventh Ring of the Holy Tower on East Coral Island, selecting wizarding apprentices who were either intelligent or possessed innate spiritual strength.

He was also the one who enlightened Grimm, showing him that knowledge is the source of wizarding power!

Wizards are human scholars who observe, learn, and summarize the profound laws governing all things, using their meager power to influence the rules of the world.
