Wizard's Journey

Chapter 284 Honeymoon Period

Three months later, East Coral Island.

This is a quiet, gently rolling grassland, sparsely populated and bursting with wildflowers.

"Hahaha, Green, no witchcraft allowed! Guess how many strawberries I'm holding?" Then, Raffi added, "No cheating."

Listen, how clear and melodious the sound is, just like the song of a lark.

Raffi walked backwards towards Green, her feet sinking into the lush green grass, with hummingbirds and butterflies occasionally flitting among the flowers. Raffi wore an incredibly charming, relaxed smile, one of her long, slender, white hands clenched into a fist, leaving Green guessing what she was doing.

"Hehe, young master, I think it's three." The myna bird stood on Lafite's shoulder and grinned mischievously.

Even though this guy took the strawberries from the dimensional gap, he kept interfering with Green's thinking, providing him with some dubious information.

Moreover, taking advantage of Green's love for Raffi, this guy actually teamed up with Raffi and bullied Green.

However, Green seemed to be thoroughly enjoying himself.

With a charming smile, Green looked at Raffi's smiling crescent-shaped eyes, and the myna bird's round, mischievous eyes glared at him. After a moment's hesitation, he laughed and said, "I guess... you don't have any strawberries!"

"Gaga, yay!" The myna bird jumped excitedly on Raffi's shoulder.

"Haha, Green, you guessed wrong. I have two strawberries in my hand. Here, Yagami Mivi, let's each have one and make him drool." Raffi grabbed a strawberry and ate one with the myna.

Raffi chuckled as he chewed on a strawberry, pouting, and said, "Green, you catch the strawberries, now it's our turn to guess. We want it to be fair."

fair?

Where is the fairness...?

Green can only guess once when he sees the strawberry in Raffi's hand, but Raffi guesses twice when he and the myna bird team up.

But when Green looked at Raffi's coquettish expression, her long, messy black hair reaching her waist, he felt as if he had melted into a sweet vortex of honey.

Green had always considered himself a rational wizard, but at this moment he recalled a famous wizarding saying.

"A wizard in love is like an unweaned baby."

At this moment, Green was like a child who had lived for nearly three hundred years, actually grabbing a handful of strawberries from the dimensional gap, pouting and grinning foolishly, "Guess."

"Two!" the myna bird guessed first, thinking that this guy was just a stupid bird that would never grow up.

"Three!" Raffi looked at Green nervously.

After Green slowly opened his hand, there were three strawberries in total. Myna and Raffi jumped up excitedly, grabbed the strawberries from Green's hand, and ate them with pride, making Green envious.

"Alright, now it's your turn to guess who we are..."

As they walked along, Green and Raffi seemed like a couple who depended on each other for survival and wandered the world together, enjoying every moment of happiness and feeling their heartbeats gradually merge into one.

In the farmhouse courtyard, Green rented the place for one night after paying a high price of one silver coin.

Rafiki lay on a straw mat on Green's arm, watching the stars twinkle in the sky.

Squeak squeak squeak...

Crickets and other unidentified flying insects chirped softly in the quiet night, like a wonderful song of nature, with melodies rising and falling, sometimes soothing, sometimes high-pitched, captivating the heart.

In the sky, the crescent moon, half-hidden among the clouds, resembled a mischievous child playing with bubbles in a bathtub.

"Green, will we reach the port of Zerato tomorrow?"

Raffi's voice came from deep in his throat, only Green could hear it, and his warm breath tickled Green's ear.

Feeling the warmth of her body in his arms, Green hugged his wife even tighter, gave a serious "hmm," but his other hand began to make some mischievous movements.

On this warm, romantic, and tranquil night, enjoying the beauty of the moment, it seemed as if only Green and Raffi were there...

but……

"Gah gah, young master, look what I caught! It's a glowbird, it really is a glowbird! This is an ancient creature, it's incredible that it can still thrive on East Coral Island! Young master, come quick, let's go together..."

Cough!

Green, his body stiff, coughed twice, quickly separated from Raffi, and glared hatefully at the damned myna bird.

At a time like this, what kind of crazy mood would Grina have to catch some damn bird?!

"Um, that... Little Eight, why don't you go and rest in the dimensional rift? Raffi and I have something to discuss." Green said seriously, as if it were something really important.

The elated myna bird asked in surprise, "What's wrong?"

Green's face stiffened; he almost laughed at the myna bird. He grabbed it and shoved it into the dimensional rift, snarling, "What's the matter? What did I tell you to do?! I told you to play dumb!"

"Caw..." The myna bird fell silent.

The courtyard fell silent again. Green chuckled mischievously and looked at Raffi with a "not friendly" expression.

"Ah...you bad guy, what are you doing..." Raffi chuckled, pushing Green's chest with both hands.

Green grinned mischievously, "What? It's you, of course! Little lamb, be good, the big bad wolf is coming."

Raffi paused for a moment, then reacted and laughed, "You rascal! It's not certain who's the big bad wolf and who's the little lamb yet. Little lamb Green, the wolf sister is hungry today, you can't escape..."

In the quiet courtyard, the faint sounds of Green and Raffi laughing and playing could be heard.

……

The following evening, at the Duke's Palace in the port of Zerato.

Green and Raffi sat together, looking at the reclusive wizard who had hosted Arrowworth and their group of East Coral Island wizarding apprentices more than two hundred years ago, and raised their glasses of red wine with smiles.

A smile appeared on the chubby little face of the grandfather, but there was also a hint of regret.

"It's truly unexpected. Of the hundreds of wizard apprentices on the Dila Seaship back then, the two we had the highest hopes for not only failed to advance to full wizard status, but only one of them even succeeded in the Holy Tower qualification battle. Yet, among you unremarkable apprentices, geniuses like you and Yorkliana emerged. It's just a pity..."

It's a pity that Grimm and Yorkriana are now officially enrolled wizards at the Blacksorta Wizarding Academy.

After speaking, the Duke clinked glasses with Green and Lafite and drank them down in one gulp.

After Grimm's wedding, Yorkriana returned to the Blacksor Tower Wizarding Academy and agreed to Grimm's request to keep Raffi's information from him.

In return, Yoklyana received a secret laboratory left by Raffi's grandfather in Bisel, which became Yoklyana's second home.

During the lavish banquet, the Grand Duke and Grand Prince were filled with emotion and conversation, and the visit ended after two full hourglasses. The Grand Duke then promised to give the small castle where the Grand Duke had once stayed in the port of Zerato as a gift.

On the brightly lit streets, Raffi and Green walked hand in hand, brushing past passersby.

"Where shall we go now? Shall we go to your castle and experience... what if I had broken into your room that night more than two hundred years ago? Hmm? My dear little brother Grimm?"

Raffi looked at Green provocatively.

Green grinned, coughed twice, and said, "Well, how about I take you to see the Dark Well? I remember that year when Binghamson brought me here in the middle of the night. Thinking about it now, I really miss those days..."

A little while later.

On the tree-lined path, Green arrived at the mysterious cottage. Moonlight shone on the maple trees, and their shadows swayed in the wind on the windows, like countless hands, creating an atmosphere filled with an unknown and oppressive feeling.

There were wells in the courtyard, and the laughter of young men and women could be heard from time to time, as if they were attracted by some kind of wonderful fun. At this moment, Green and Raffi seemed to have become one of these young men and women.

Squeak.

Pushing open the door of the hut, Green took out a few gold coins and looked at the old witch with a wrinkled face in front of him. The old witch's cloudy eyes also looked at Green.

Grimm, who had initially thought the old witch was just another hidden wizard, was stunned.

There's no breath! How is that possible?

Could it be a mechanical puppet?

Just as Green was stunned and surprised, the old witch opened her mouth, revealing two rows of uneven black teeth, and a sapling emerged from the old witch's throat.

The sapling said angrily, "Young little demon hunter wizard, don't you know that the Eye of the World forbids any creature of level one or higher from approaching?"

Green's pupils suddenly dilated; this aura!

This is... the aura of the guardian of the Spring World, one of the two most powerful guardians in the Wizarding World at this moment!

In a fluster, Green pulled Raffi, who was still somewhat bewildered and at a loss, to perform the wizard's ritual. Although this sapling was only a wisp of the guardian's will, its lofty status and imposing presence were still beyond Green's ability to be on equal footing.

The sapling shook itself and said, "Hmph, it seems you really don't know. Don't spread the information about the Eye of the World in the future."

Green quickly replied, "Yes."

After hesitating for a moment, Green asked, "Great Guardian, my wife is only a wizarding apprentice, could you...?"

Snapped!

A stone was tossed to Green, and the sapling said, "Here, it's yours. I won't take any coins this time."

After saying that, the sapling shrank into the old witch's throat.

Half an hourglass later, Raffi, grinning, grabbed Green's hand and led him towards the seaside castle, excitedly saying, "You know what? That creature only had one head, with lots of tentacles attached below. It floated in the air and talked to me. At first, I was startled, and then..."
