Wizard's Journey

Chapter 541 The Origin of Wizards

In the Wizarding World, in the study of Grimm, the lord of Mothfrog City.

"Kiichi!"

Green's call brought Mu Yi, who was training as a knight outside, running in with sweat beading on his forehead. He was a diligent, hardworking, and dedicated child. Legendary knights are not made by any special physique, but only by relentless effort and perseverance.

"grown ups."

Mu Yi knelt on one knee and looked at Green.

With a sigh, Green said, "Go to the orphanage and spend some quality time with your Grandma Vivian. Try to make her happy during this time. You know she's my junior, and you're her favorite child."

Mu Yi paused for a moment, then nodded.

"Yes."

As Mu Yi left, Green, somewhat agitated, put aside his notes on the Moth Frog City development plan and walked step by step to the study window, gazing into the distance.

…………

"Grandma Vivian."

Mu Yi helped Vivian start a fire and wash vegetables. Two middle-aged women looked at Mu Yi in surprise. Why had this personal guardian knight of the Moth Frog City Lord returned to the orphanage?

Vivian's withered face showed no sign of distress as she busily prepared the meal, waiting for the children from the orphanage who had gone to the knight's academy to return like hungry wolves.

"Did Lord Green send you back?"

After Vivian finished tidying up, she wiped her hands and asked Mu Yi.

"Um."

Mu Yi nodded.

As a legendary knight, although he could not sense that Vivian's soul was dissipating, he could sense that Vivian's vital energy was beginning to decline, which was a sign of death as her body withered to its limit.

Vivian shook her head, about to say something, when the front door creaked open and a large group of children, some a few years old and some teenagers, ran in happily, shouting and yelling.

"Grandma Vivian, what are we having for dinner today?"

"Grandma Vivian, I'm hungry!"

"Grandma Vivian, you're being unfair! Give it to him first!"

The children surrounded Vivian, whose face was full of smiles as she and Mu Yi, along with two plump women around her, maintained order.

"Don't push, don't push, one at a time!"

Mu Yi secretly glanced at Vivian. Seeing the kind smile on Vivian's face, the sadness in his heart seemed to lessen a little. As a child who was not good at expressing himself, Mu Yi had always regarded this kind old lady as his only family.

…………

Snoring, snoring, snoring, snoring...

That night, Vivian patiently checked the blankets covering the orphans before turning to Mu Yi behind her and smiling, "You used to be like this too. I don't know how much I worried about you before you finally grew up."

Mu Yi looked embarrassed.

After leaving the orphanage with Vivian, the two sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, where the weather was getting cooler.

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yi ran back into the house, brought out a cushion, and placed it on the stone chair beneath Vivian, whispering, "Grandma, be careful not to catch a cold."

With a slight smile, Vivian gazed at the starry sky of the Wizarding World and slowly asked, "Mu Yi, how big do you think the Wizarding World is?"

After thinking for a moment, Mu Yi could only shake his head: "I don't know. I heard that there are other wizarding academies next to the Nine-Headed Wrath Wizarding Academy. This is a world that belongs to wizards."

"Yes, this is a world of wizards, its vastness unimaginable to you as a knight. And yet, the wizarding world is but a grain of sand in an endless world. Mu Yi, tell Grandma, are you truly content to remain a legendary knight in this Mothfrog City forever?"

Mu Yi gritted his teeth and shook his head.

Vivian smiled, touching Mu Yi's face, which was gradually showing the resolute features of a mature man. Watching Mu Yi grow up day by day was like looking at her younger self.

"Come with Grandma. Although Grandma can't compare to Lord Green's achievements, I still have some things to leave you."

In the secret room of Vivian's cottage, Mu Yi saw one thing after another he had never seen before. From these things, Mu Yi seemed to see a corner of the wizarding world, and a vast and novel world that he had never seen before.

Vivian smiled and said, "These are all for you. If you want to go to the Knights' Perseverance Academy in the Abyss World in the future, even with the Great Bloodfall Lava Dragon Bloodline Witchcraft that Lord Green has modified for you, traveling through the wizarding world will still be too dangerous for you. With these things, your journey will be safer."

Mu Yi said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandma!"

"Silly child, after your grandmother is gone, you should learn more from Lord Green. He will surely become a great wizard in the wizarding world."

Mu Yi shook his head.

"No, Grandma, please don't say those things..."

Vivian stopped Mu Yi from speaking and said calmly, "Grandma is tired and needs to rest. You can go now, but remember what I said."

Biting her lip, Mu Yi felt a stinging sensation in her nose and her eyes welled up with tears. She nodded, turned and left, gently closing the door behind her.

After a moment of distraction, as if recalling her life, Vivian suddenly smiled mysteriously and took out a timeless crystal ball.

Slowly, Vivian took out the necklace from her chest again, gently opened it, and a green pill appeared.

"I hope it really works as described."

After saying that, Vivian swallowed the pill and began to wait quietly.

A short while later, Vivian felt an inexplicable heat and tingling sensation in her body, along with a feeling of tightness.

After a slight pause, Vivian walked to the mirror. Looking at her reflection, which was visibly regaining its youth and beauty, a happy smile appeared on her red lips. She then ran quickly to the crystal ball.

At this moment, Vivian felt her heart pounding like a deer's, and a blush crept across her cheeks.

…………

Two days later, a crystal ball appeared on Green's desk.

Inside the crystal ball, Vivian's beautiful face was just as Grimm had seen her for the first time—pure and lovely, looking at him as if he were a mature and reliable older brother.

"Senior Brother Green, before I first met you, I was always your shadow in my mentor's eyes. I remember back then, I was often jealous of you, and I desperately wanted to surpass you and prove to my mentor that I was not your shadow."

Inside the crystal ball, Vivian shook her head and smiled after speaking.

"But after meeting you, I realized I was wrong. Your wisdom amazed me. I never imagined that the wisdom of a wizard was like this. I still remember clearly the most powerful magic you taught in the first class, and I will never forget it."

Vivian poured out her heart for a few minutes in the Everlasting Crystal Ball, mostly about her understanding of Green and her changing thoughts and perspectives.

Finally, Vivian suddenly smiled, her red lips trembling slightly, and said shyly, "Senior brother, I like you very much. I'd like you to put this crystal ball with Sister Raffi, is that alright?"

After a brief pause in Vivian's innocent smile on the crystal ball, the image began its next loop.

"Kiichi!"

After summoning Mu Yi in, Green asked in a low voice, "When did Vivian leave?"

"Two days ago, Grandma Vivian told me to tell you in two days."

Closing his eyes, Green waved to signal Mu Yi to leave, and then slowly, tears welled up in his eyes.

After a long while, Green suddenly stood up, opened a dimensional rift, and took out a huge sealed vessel. He looked at Raffi inside the crystal sealed vessel with tenderness, as if recalling the happy days of his wizard apprenticeship, the days when he, Raffi, Bingham, Robin, Yorkriana, and Mooncris were together.

As time passed, he became a true wizard, a profession he had once longed for, but he could never recapture the innocent joy of those days.

This is the price we have to pay for growing up.

Green placed the eternal crystal ball left by Vivian on the crystal vessel that sealed Raffi.

It was because of the countless involuntary actions of the ancestors that the subsequent humans were led onto the path of wizards. This is a path to explore the truth and rules of the world, to attempt to achieve the transformation between ideals and reality, and to attempt to become "gods" who can achieve anything they desire!

But can wizards truly achieve the ideal world that the ancestors of humankind longed for?

Even the greatest wizards are still just beings living under the rules of the endless world. Once they surpass the eighth level of wizards, they will leave the endless world and never appear again. They can never reach the level of "gods" in myths and legends who can create the world and achieve anything with a single thought.

"God" will always be something that only exists in legends.

in case……

If wizards could truly fulfill the dreams and wishes of humanity's ancestor, "God," everything would be wonderful...

After closing the dimensional gap, the dejected Green, his eyes moist and slightly bewildered, slowly closed them.
