Under the sea, a huge behemoth jumped up, with a big round head and a big white belly. This was a huge whale.
"Boom!" a sound.
The leaping whale hit the sea hard, and the huge waves splashed hard against the stone walls of the cliff.
Then, the whale opened its big mouth, and for a moment there was only a "pat-pat-pat" sound. Groups of white birds flew out of the big mouth, and quickly came to the cliff and stopped.
Around everyone.
Alice said: "Let's go, Aisha Noreen, you two go down first, Noreen, you first."
"oh."
Noreen stepped forward and raised her hands flat to both sides. The birds immediately gathered next to her, grabbed her clothes with their claws and took her slowly into the air, and then flew downwards.
In a moment, Noreen was sent into the whale's mouth.
Seeing this magical scene, Heath was stunned for a moment.
Soon, the birds flew back.
Alice said: "It's your turn, Elsa, go down."
"oh."
Aisha stepped forward, but just after taking two steps, she seemed to think of something again, quickly turned back and walked towards Heath.
It could be seen that there was still some fear in her eyes, but she still stood in front of Heath.
She explained hesitantly: "Um...Master Wizard, thank you for saving Norin and I...I'm sorry before...but Norin and I didn't mean it..."
Heath said openly: "It's understandable."
After all, he seemed to be with Baron Neville before.
Seeing that Heath was so easy to talk to, Elsa's nervous expression relaxed a lot, and she said happily: "Thank you for your understanding... Oh, by the way."
At this point, she seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly reached into her collar, and after a while she pulled out a simple necklace, which was a small stone the size of a fingernail tied to a thin hemp rope.
Elsa took off the necklace and handed it to Heath and said: "Our father... adoptive father, he was once a scholar in the learning tower. He was very interested in wizards and magic and has been doing research in this area all his life.
He found this in a ruins, take a look, maybe it will be helpful to you."
Heath was about to refuse, but after hearing what Elsa said, he swallowed back the words that were on his lips. Ruins and such, they sound very attractive, right?
He took it and looked at it. It was a small, polished stone. There seemed to be some incomprehensible symbols engraved on it. It looked like some kind of writing. But other than that, there was nothing special about it, and there was no sense on it.
To spiritual power or magical power.
'Uh, it's nothing...'
Although he was a little disappointed, he still accepted the necklace and expressed his gratitude: "Thank you."
"This is nothing compared to you saving us, so I'll leave first."
"Well, go ahead, go ahead."
Elsa walked to the edge of the cliff and went down like Noreen before, followed by Alice. She made a face at Heath and then flapped her little wings and flew down.
Finally, there's Cat Rider.
He walked to the edge of the cliff, held down his jazz hat with one hand, and nodded to greet Heath: "Well, goodbye, Wizard Heath."
After speaking, he touched the ground with his toes, jumped back, and made a handsome spin with his whole body in the air. A flying bird passed by his landing point at the perfect speed, and disappeared in front of Heath with him in the blink of an eye.
.
Heath twitched the corner of his mouth: This cat...
What a show-off!
...
After returning home, Heath went to bed, but couldn't fall asleep while lying on the bed.
The experience that night was extremely incredible even in the bizarre wizarding world. The girl with cat ears, the cat who knew martial arts, the talking elf, the big whale that spit out birds from its mouth... It was really like a fairy tale.
Same.
However, the occurrence of these things also indirectly explained to Heath that the upper limit of this world is very high. Many things may be legends on Blue Star, but they actually exist here.
Pointed-eared elves, bad-tempered dwarves, silly orcs...and the sky city floating in the sky, the Sunset Mountains where giant dragons live, and the vast arctic ice field...whether it's creatures or scenery, here
Has so much magic.
'One day, whether it's an orc tribe in the dangerous mountains and old forests or a magnificent elven palace, you must go and see it!'
Looking through the cross window at the boundless sea.
Heath's expectations for this world have increased...
...
The next day, Heath got up early and as soon as he got up, he started asking around for news about last night.
He thought that what happened yesterday would cause an uproar, but it turned out that he had overthought it. The most talked about thing was that two slaves ran away last night, two thugs were killed, and several houses were burned down.
, nothing more.
Although it is uncommon, it still happens from time to time in deep water ports. Not everyone is willing to become someone else's slave. No matter how severe and cruel the punishment is, there are always a few slaves who will try to escape every month.
However, these are always a minority. Most people still choose to stay because they are afraid of the whip and the gallows, and some even do it voluntarily, yes, voluntarily.
Later, for experiments, Heath also used "extraction" on some slaves, including their voices:
"Hahaha, that guest last night was so generous. He gave me two more silver coins. It would be great if I could meet such a person every day..."
"When can I go to sea? I've had enough of this miserable place!"
"You can really eat here, and... you don't have to work... and you can have beautiful clothes... this kind of life... is really good..."
"I want to make a lot of money!"
The lower limit of human beings is much lower than ordinary people expect. The reason why bitches become bitches is not only because their parents are seriously ill and their younger brother is studying. It is also possible that they want to be bitches in the first place. Although it is a bit cruel, this is the reality.
But then again, living in such an environment where food and clothing is a problem and you have to steal bread to make a living, but you have to use the moral standards of modern society to restrain people, this... doesn't feel like it is too bullying.
?
Baron Neville is definitely evil, but the soil that breeds evil and the reasons behind its birth cannot be ignored...
That's too far.
What is right or wrong is not His consideration. As a wizard time traveler, all he thinks about is how to learn his magic well. As for other twists and turns of right and wrong, justice and evil are not in His consideration, and he does not have the ambition or ability to do this.
The world has to do something earth-shattering to change it, at least not yet.
So, after settling down, he quickly focused on what he should do...
Half a month later, deep water port, resting place manor.
In the room, the doors and windows were tightly closed, and Heath was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room.
On the floor under him is a six-pointed star magic circle. In several corners of the magic circle, there are long white candles burning. They are very strange. The burning fire is bright white, and when the candle burns,
There will be some colorful light spots scattered out.
This is [Meditation Candle], a special magic prop that produces elements when burned, thereby creating an elemental environment, allowing wizards to meditate and practice in low-element environments.
It is worth mentioning that these things are specially prepared by the Glory of the Sea of Trees for apprentices who go out on missions. Otherwise, they are not cheap. Isis has the financial resources to buy one or two. The cost of long-term meditation will definitely be
Can't afford it.
Time passed little by little, and half an hour later, Heath opened his eyes.
"System, showing mental power."
"Dip, host mental power: 2.6."
Heath frowned: so slow...
It has been almost two months since he condensed 3 characters. He has really not stopped practicing for a day in these two months. However, he still only increased his mental power by 0.6, which is basically an increase of 0.3 every month.
of mental strength.
You know, this still includes the part extracted by the system. In fact, the increase in meditation may be even lower...
"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, take your time."
The journey of a wizard is like this. He can only rely on a little accumulation. He is pretty good. At least he can have the system plug-in to bring extra mental power growth. It would be even worse for other apprentices, who can only be honest.
Grind it up little by little.
That's why it is said that the path of a wizard is a difficult and thorny road. How many people have fallen on this road throughout the ages, and how many can truly stand at the top?
"2.6 is not much different from 3.2. I should be able to advance within two months!"
3.2 is the baseline for condensing the fourth basic rune, and by condensing the fourth [defensive rune], one can master defensive spells. At the same time, the fourth rune is also a symbol of promotion to the intermediate apprentice. Condensation
With the fourth rune, he is a veritable mid-level apprentice!
"Medium apprentice!"
Heath couldn't wait to add another leaf to the wisdom leaf pattern on his cloak.
After a short rest, Heath got up and left the meditation room and went to a room next door. This was a room used as a laboratory. It was filled with various bottles, jars, experimental materials, etc., and there was a long experiment table in the middle.
table.
Although Baron Neville is disgusting, the service provided to them is really good. Everyone has a spacious room. In addition to basic accommodation and reception, there is also an independent bathroom, meditation room, laboratory, etc., which is extremely thoughtful.
Of course, this is mainly because the apprentice wizards who came on this trip are either rich or noble. If Heath was alone, he would definitely not be so dedicated...
"Click!" The sound of the cabinet opening.
Heath took some low-level materials from the cabinet and walked to the experimental table, then opened the drawer below and took out today's protagonist——
