[Maybe without me, everything will be fine... Ivana, I will give you everything you want, this is the only way...]

……

The brown-haired girl flipped through the diary page by page, and through the cold words, she learned about her brother who made her extremely envious, who was highly expected by her father, but who could not do anything well...

She had resented such injustice. All her efforts and her swordsmanship, which she was proud of, were just tools to attract the attention of the son of the Duke of Nordland in her father's eyes.

If I had the chance, I would definitely pass the knight test, I would definitely revive the Pedro family, and I would definitely make my father see me clearly...

So for her brother who had all the family resources and could receive formal knight training at any time, but failed time and time again... Ivana hated him so much that she even hated him...

[How cute, Ivina...]

The girl's body trembled as she ran her fingers across the wrinkled paper and read the words on it. Crystal clear tears flowed down her cheeks and fell onto the paper...

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Ivana murmured to herself, her mind was blank, but the tears in her eyes could not stop flowing, and her heart was filled with strong regret... Ivana had never hated herself so much.

She thought she had forgotten how to cry, which was a privilege only enjoyed by those who were the center of attention...

Outside the mansion, flames leaped up, but the room fell into deathly silence, with only the suppressed, intermittent sobs echoing continuously.

It was not until the door of the room was slammed open that the girl turned her head in confusion.

Baron Pedro rushed in and looked around the messy scene in the room. When he saw Ivana, who was frightened and crying silently in the corner, he became furious and asked angrily.

"Do you know how big a mess the outside world is in, Ivana? Why are you still sitting here alone? Where is Lotte? Where is he now?"

As he was speaking, another explosion was heard outside the mansion.

"Did something happen outside?" Ivana held the tear-soaked diary in her arms and asked with her head down.

"Those damn wizards wreaked havoc in the harbor town and blew up the entire dock with a terrible witchcraft. Pastor Adrian died, Pastor Danny died, and so did Sir Sik. Even Archbishop Anluk couldn't escape..." Baron Pedro said in horror.

Previously, in order to improve his resume, he had proposed to the Archbishop of Nordland to participate in this witch hunt. Now, if Anluk had agreed, he would have died in the harbor dock.

Hearing the unattainable names being pronounced dead one after another, the brown-haired girl was shaken and couldn't help but think of the words that Lotte said before he left.

"You are so insignificant, Ivina..."

Becoming a wizard, is that what you want, brother?

It is said that as long as one sacrifices his soul to the devil, he can become a wizard with forbidden powers, but as a price, that person's personality will often change drastically, and his soul will gradually fall into the abyss...

And it's all for myself.

"Where is your brother? You haven't answered me yet. Where is Lotte? We have to leave here immediately!" Baron Pedrol pinched the girl's wrist hard and asked loudly.

"Dead!" Ivina said in a low voice. She knew very well that if the information that her brother became a wizard was leaked, the entire Pedro family would be destroyed immediately.

Baron Pedro paused for a moment, and a very terrifying look appeared on his face.

"You better not play tricks on me, Evina!"

"I'm telling you, even if your brother really died, the baronship would never be yours! Never dream of something you can't get!"

Baron Pedro said with great annoyance that no matter what the circumstances, he would never let an outsider take over the Pedro family, no matter how outstanding he was!

“In that case, I’m leaving…” Ivana broke free from the big hands that were holding her, put the diary in her arms, and turned around and walked out of the door without hesitation.

"Stop! Explain it to me clearly!" Baron Pedro had never expected that Ivana, who never dared to resist on weekdays, would dare to disobey him like this. A strong anger suddenly surged in his heart. He pulled out the long sword from his waist and lashed at Ivana fiercely.

clang~

The sword with its sheath flew out of his hand, spun and fell to the ground with a low muffled sound.

Baron Pedro's body was frozen in place, with an extremely sharp wooden spike three fingers long across his neck.

"How long has it been since you last experienced a battle, father?" Ivana looked at Pedro with a complicated expression and asked.

Baron Pedro broke out in a cold sweat and sat down on the ground. Only then did he realize that Ivana's swordsmanship was far more advanced than he knew, and had even completely surpassed his own.

Ivana dropped the wooden thorn in her hand and walked out of the room without looking back.

"Where are you going, Ivina? Where is Lotte? Tell me where he is?" Baron Pedro came to his senses and roared loudly.

"My brother is dead. Just think of him as one I killed...Father." Ivana said softly. "And I'm leaving Harbor Town to see the world..."

Chapter 46: Lin En: I smell a scent called a black pot

blah blah blah...

Continuous raindrops fell on the deck, making a series of crisp low sounds. Lin En, who was inside the cabin, woke up from the ongoing nightmare.

After seeing clearly the environment he was in, Lin En couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. The sudden appearance of the goddess's phantom last night brought him a lot of psychological pressure. Fortunately, the other party had no intention of catching up.

They should be safe now.

Lynn stood up, rolled off the hard wooden bed, picked up a cloak hanging at the door, then opened the cabin door and walked onto the deck.

The gentle sea breeze blew in with drops of sea water, bringing with it a salty and moist taste, blowing away the foul air in the cabin.

Lin En looked up into the distance. Thick fog filled the sea, covering the entire sailboat. He could only barely see about three to five meters outside the boat.

This mist seemed to possess some kind of mysterious power. Even if he used the first-ring magic [Tik's Farsight], he could not penetrate the white mist and see farther.

The danger of sailing under such conditions is self-evident. Not only is it difficult to tell the direction, but there is also the possibility of crashing into a reef.

"Master Wizard, are you awake? Did you have a good rest last night?"

A familiar voice sounded behind him. Lin En turned around and saw that the person was Lame Lord.

However, compared to last night, the other party looked a little listless and was obviously frightened.

Lin En did not answer Loud's question, but spoke directly. "Is this the Sea of ​​Mist? How did you find the direction in the past, and how long does it take to reach the Land of Wizards?"

"Normally, it takes more than half a month to sail from the harbor town. As for how to determine the direction..." Lord took out a compass very carefully.

Lin En moved closer curiously. The compass was round in shape and made of wood. There were many complicated runes and patterns painted on the surface. The most eye-catching thing was the pointer on top, which pointed motionlessly in the direction of the ship's sailing.

Could it be a compass?

Lynn guessed secretly, and then heard Lord's explanation.

"This compass is an alchemical artifact made by the great wizard Herram. No matter where you are, it will always point to the direction of the wizard's land."

This is what enables them to cross the sea of ​​fog. No matter where they start from, they only need to follow the direction indicated by the compass to find the wizard's land.

It's really amazing... Lin En picked up the compass and looked at it carefully. He became a little interested in the great wizard named Hellram. This was the second time he heard this name.

It seems that Anruk took so much trouble to deal with several wizard apprentices and lure out Lord just to get this compass.

As long as this thing is handed over to the Holy See, it will definitely be a great achievement!

Since he couldn't understand the runes on the compass, Lin En just took note of them and returned the thing.

Lord took it with his hand, and then he looked a little confused. After a long time, he asked carefully. "Are you a great wizard?"

"Of course not." Lin En shook his head, but didn't dare to admit it.

He is just an apprentice wizard who has just started learning magic. It’s okay that he was mistaken for a formal wizard before. After all, with the help of the intelligent computer, he can indeed do many things that only formal wizards can do, but he is still far from the level of a great wizard.

Without the help of more than a thousand people from the [Ship Gang], he would not have been able to set up a trap that could destroy the entire harbor terminal.

It was the power of science rather than magic that brought down Anluk and his men.

Seeing Lin En shaking his head to deny, Lord seemed a little skeptical. He saw the horrific explosion with his own eyes last night. It was definitely a power that only advanced magic could possess!

But considering that the other party had asked him to collect a large amount of raw materials, Loud secretly guessed that this witchcraft called "fireworks" probably required some special rituals to be prepared in advance before it could be used as a powerful magic.

"If that's the case, you'll probably be blamed when we reach the wizard's land." Lord couldn't help sighing.

Lynn's expression suddenly changed, and there was a hint of danger in his eyes as he looked towards Lord. He vaguely smelled the scent of the black pot.

Under someone's "kind" gaze, Loud hurriedly began to explain.

Although he has been operating this waterway from the harbor town to the wizarding land, the person who created this route was the great wizard Hellram.

To put it bluntly, the entire [Ships Gang] is nothing more than a tool in the hands of the other party. Whether they like it or not, they need to transport some scarce materials to the wizard's land every year.

Because they had always acted very secretly, there had not been any major mistakes in more than a decade. But now, because of Johnny and others, this transportation route was directly destroyed.

If Lin En is also a great wizard, then there is no need to worry too much. If not, he needs to be prepared to be held accountable. This is why he specifically spoke out to confirm.

After Lord's explanation, Lin En quickly figured it out. He couldn't help but feel a little troubled. He could naturally think of the importance of this waterway.

This blame should be borne by his mentor Kelu. If he hadn't been so bold and intended to abduct the Duke's second daughter, and was caught on the spot, how could the Church have followed the clues and traced it all the way to the Harbor Town...

"Is this the only route to travel from the Wizard Land to the Sekas Empire?" Lin En asked.

"It should be more than that... The Sea of ​​Misty Sea is also connected to another important port - Vicnir, the capital of the Sekas Empire." Lord said hesitantly. Although he couldn't be 100% sure, he guessed that there were probably people in Vicnir doing the same thing as he was.

"I understand." Lin En nodded. It seemed that things had not yet developed to the worst point. However, he did not intend to take the blame. He had to find a way to get rid of it...

While Lin En was thinking, he asked Lord about various information about the wizarding land. He was too unfamiliar with this place and it would be easy to suffer losses without sufficient information.

After several inquiries, Lin En finally realized that the Wizarding Land was different from what he had expected. It was not a refuge built by a group of wizards persecuted by the Church, but a huge island that had existed for hundreds of years and had a city, a port, and a population of 600,000. The interior could almost be regarded as a small kingdom...

However, there are no kings or nobles here. Instead, there are wizards and various schools of thought. The highest power is held by the Wizard Council, which is composed of several legendary wizards...

Chapter 47: Eyes of Death

Lin En was amazed at the "advanced" political system of the wizarding land. It had actually quickly entered a democratic parliamentary system.

But after thinking about it, he felt it was normal. A high-level wizard was an army by himself. If he was not given corresponding rights, he would be creating chaos for no reason.

So there, the status of wizards is almost equivalent to that of nobility!

"When you arrive at the port, you will be shocked by the scene there." Lord said with emotion.

Over the years, he had been to the wizarding land several times. It was like a farmer who had always lived in the village suddenly arrived in Vicnir. The shocking feeling was simply indescribable.

“Then I’m really looking forward to seeing such a sight.” Lynn said with a smile.

As the two were chatting, a sailor suddenly came over and whispered something in Lord's ear.

Lord waved the sailor away and asked respectfully, "The witch has woken up. Do you want to go and see her?"

Lynn nodded. He had a lot of questions to ask Johnny, so he walked quickly towards the cabin.

Looking at Lynn's departing back, Loud had no intention of following him. Instead, he looked up at the foggy sky. Drops of rain were dripping through the white mist onto the deck.
