Wizard Immortality.

Chapter 5: A Change of Attitude (Please read on and add to your favorites!)

Before leaving the baronial territory.

Siggs' father, Baron Murray, had specifically instructed her on this.

After the caravan leaves the territory, do not order him around just because he is a male servant of the Vic family, lest you make an enemy of him.

At least.

Don't offend Vic before you've determined whether he can become a wizard apprentice.

Sigurd, who was used to being a noble lady in the baronies, had always ignored her father's admonitions.

After the caravan set off, because she lacked servants to command, she treated Vic as her own servant, ordering him around at will.

Even without physical or verbal abuse, their attitude is hardly any better.

but.

After witnessing the wizard's immense power firsthand.

Deeply moved, Sigurds thought about many things.

She suddenly realized that this was no longer Baron Mori's territory, and no one would be afraid of her status as the Baron's daughter.

You could even say that she's already halfway into the world of wizards.

A bizarre, unpredictable, and mysteriously terrifying world.

Possessing the talents of a wizard.

Sigurds wasn't stupid; after a little more reflection, she realized that pointlessly belittling others would only make her look like an arrogant fool.

Especially after she learned that a seemingly insignificant and submissive male servant by her side was actually hiding his knightly abilities.

She was completely unaware that an ambitious man was lurking beside her.

For a moment, this feeling of being constantly on edge made Siggs feel a tightness in her chest and cold sweat pour down her back.

The night wind is cold.

The faint fragrance emanating from the girl wafted into Vic's nose.

But Vic remained unmoved.

Wizards have long and ancient lives.

Enemies or friends, they are ultimately just passersby in a wizard's life.

Knowledge and truth are the only things a wizard needs to pursue relentlessly.

He has now fully mastered the most basic bloodline power, the Knight's Breathing Technique, and possesses a certain ability to protect himself, but a wizard will never stop learning.

Even though Vic had once advanced to the sixth level of wizardry, it was not something that could be accomplished overnight, as he was a knight.

Because no one can shake the fundamental laws of the wizarding world.

Any mortal who wants to become a wizard's apprentice must go through a long process of learning, experimentation, and verification.

Accumulate knowledge, strengthen your mental body, and ultimately form your own unique knowledge system.

Only by forming a knowledge system and thoroughly understanding even the smallest branch of a mysterious field can a person be considered a formal wizard apprentice.

Only by experiencing the decay of the curse of time can a wizard truly understand the preciousness of time.

Therefore, Vic won't waste his time on a girl he doesn't know anything about.

Even speaking to her would be a waste of precious time for learning.

Seeing that Vic remained silent, Siggs was not angry. She tried her best to be polite and sincere, and said in a calm tone, "I know it is impolite to pry into someone's secrets."

But the reason I came to see you this time is actually to apologize.

I've been so naive all along. I hope you can forgive my previous offenses. I'm sorry.

If Sigurds is trying to threaten Vic with this so-called secret, or use some naive and ridiculous means.

Vic will definitely be tempted to kill.

But the other party apologized sincerely, and even realized their naivety and immaturity because of the attack on the camp.

Vic, on the contrary, looked at this girl named Siggs Murray with a different eye.

Talent may determine a wizard's minimum potential.

But humility is always one of the qualities that determines a wizard's potential.

The human heart is a mountain.

Getting over it is far more complicated than just talking about it.

Having seen countless people, Vic knew that someone of Sigurd's character, no matter how far she could go on the path of a wizard, was worth maintaining a certain degree of cooperation with.

Make more friends and fewer enemies; you'll never go wrong.

As Sigurds stood up to leave, Vic spoke up, "I accept your apology."

The girl turned and glanced at Vic, nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

However, she felt relieved.

Two weeks later, the convoy drove out of the twisted, dense forest.

Fortunately, they didn't encounter any other strange creatures after the Nightmare Tree Monster, but the girl who was close to Sigs remained forever in the dense forest.

That day, while clearing the camp and digging underground, one of the knights used too much force, and when he shoveled down, blood gushed out.

When they pulled her out of the water, only skin and flesh remained connecting the girl's neck to her body.

In the end, they could only bury him on the spot and build a shrine with stones as a memorial.

After that incident.

Sigurd Murray hadn't spoken for more than ten days.

This also caused the knight commander, Aubert, who was escorting her all the way, to look worried.

During this time, Aubert wanted Vic to talk to Sigurd to see if he could get through to her and help her resolve her inner conflict, but Vic politely declined.

rain.

The already dark canyon became even more damp and gloomy.

The latest novel is first published here!

The convoy traveled along the rugged mountain road, and every bump was terrifying.

The dark-skinned, thin boy, Aaron, sat next to Vic. He stuck his head out of the carriage window, and the bottomless abyss below made him feel dizzy. He quickly stuck his head back into the carriage.

"I heard from Lord Kels's squire that Black Tower Academy is not far away, just beyond this canyon. Could it be that town in the distance?"

On his first time leaving the baronial territory, Aaron was curious about everything new along the way.

Vic withdrew his extraction method and prepared for a short rest. His gaze passed through the car window and fell upon a cluster of town-style buildings built on a hillside not far away.

High and low, staggered.

The overall Gothic-style architecture appears magnificent in the rain.

In the wizarding world.

Colleges are the most common wizarding organizations.

The actual size was not much different from the university in Vic's memory, but the functions and facilities were more complete.

In addition to meeting the daily learning needs of wizards in academic departments, most wizarding organizations also have their own independently operated trading markets.

Some warlike wizarding organizations even train professional mercenaries for profit.

Vic once founded a wizarding academy, which had many benefits, but it also consumed some of the energy needed to learn knowledge, so there were gains and losses.

The mountain road is winding.

But the convoy drove very steadily.

Several hours later.

The convoy was parked outside the college gate.

After senior apprentice Kers negotiated with the guarding wizard apprentices, all the accompanying knights remained outside the city, while the others sailed into the Black Tower Academy.

The place where Vic and the others got off the bus was a relatively secluded square, surrounded by some low brick and stone buildings covered with moss.

Kers, holding an umbrella, said, "This is where you'll stay temporarily. Rest for a day, and the academy will have a formal talent test tomorrow."

Your destination will be decided then.

He then signaled to the squires to take everyone to rest.

Having arrived at the academy safely, Sigurd Murray's mood had clearly improved.

She walked up to Vic, looked up at the menacing stone sculpture atop the building, and said, "I'm very confident about the talent test. How about you?"

Vic did not respond.

Siggs wasn't boasting. When the Baron was selecting talented students, Kers herself said that she was the most talented among them.

Aaron saw that Vic had fallen into his old habit again, remaining silent.

He quickly chimed in with a smile, "Miss Siggs, I think Vic will definitely pass the test. Don't let his quiet demeanor fool you, his talent is definitely greater than mine."

If it were in the past...

Sigurds would definitely not pay any attention to a poor boy from a common background.

But witnessing the wizard's power firsthand.

Then came the tragedy of a close friend dying far from home.

Siggs, who had previously been an arrogant and domineering noblewoman, had completely shed her former self. She smiled and said, "And you, Mr. Aaron?"

"I?"

Aaron chuckled awkwardly, not daring to look Siggs in the eye, and touched his head without saying a word.

Because all three of them came from a baronial territory.

Thinking of the promise she and her friend made when they set off that they could never keep, Sigurd sighed, "I hope we can both pass the test. Let's do our best together, you two."
