In a dilapidated tavern, several people were drinking, and one of them murmured to himself.
"I don't know... Anyway, it's been many years..."
Next to him, Lela's voice came on time, with a hint of drunkenness.
"It's been fifty years in total... If you include the time when our original batch of players arrived, it would have been fifty-five years..." Raising a glass of fragrant wine, Slim closed his eyes and looked a little pale.
rosy.
"Fifty-five years..."
Listening to this answer, Lela sighed: "I didn't expect that the time would come to this moment..."
"When we first arrived, I never imagined that we would go through so many things later, or even reach this point today."
As he spoke, he raised a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
"In fifty-five years, even the pub where we first met has now become like this."
He supported his body with his hands and lay quietly on the sofa behind him. Looking at the changes around the tavern, Qi Mu sighed.
The tavern in front of them already existed when the three of them were still players.
In the beginning, this was a tavern established by several players to collect information and specifically serve players.
Due to the limitations of the conditions at that time, Qi Mu still clearly remembers that the dilapidated appearance of this tavern back then was just a few wooden boards put together, and it couldn't be more shabby.
Even the drinks and food served inside are mostly purchased from surrounding hunters and farmers and then processed twice. Although the taste is relatively good, it is not as good as now.
Over the past fifty years, this tavern has changed a lot.
The original simple wooden boards have been completely replaced, and the entire tavern has been decorated with a luxurious atmosphere. It does not look like a tavern, but rather like a high-end place that only nobles would enter for the first time.
In fact, due to the development of technology, electricity has been completely used here. There are even many witchcraft runes used to adjust the environment and enhance the climate around it.
Over the past few decades, the seeds sown by Adier himself have now borne abundant fruits.
Using rational thinking to apply and research the wizard's technology, the results obtained are almost explosive. Now, the technology of the entire empire has not only equaled the original real world, but also far exceeded it. In many aspects, it has achieved
Achievements that were unimaginable in the past.
At least... after the development of various technologies, the practice before becoming a formal wizard is no longer a big problem.
Although it is still difficult, as long as you have enough financial resources, you can buy enough auxiliary products to help apprentices reach the peak of third-class apprenticeship as quickly as possible.
Even if you don't have the qualifications, it's not impossible to become a wizard or a knight in this era.
With the massive development of blood science, through mixed research on various royal bloodlines, the latest blood potion has been developed. Even an ordinary person without any qualifications can undergo transformation after using this potion.
And then have the qualifications.
However, currently, due to technical limitations, the value of this medicine is extremely high, and very few people can afford it.
However, that is for ordinary people. For these people in front of me, no matter how valuable the thing is, it may not be a problem.
After all, they are the students of His Majesty Adil, the supreme ruler of this world.
Over the past few decades, Adil has long since changed back to his real name. Although he was a little uncomfortable at first, over time, everyone got used to His Majesty's new name.
"Speaking of which, Som seems to be coming over recently and officially becoming the dean of Elka Wizarding Academy." In the middle of the conversation, Shrem suddenly said as if he remembered something.
"He." Lela couldn't help but be stunned when she heard the name, and then an inexplicable smile appeared on her face: "The reason why he came here to be the dean is not sure what he is doing."
"Oh? Do you have any inside information?" Upon hearing this, Qimu and Slim on the side became somewhat interested.
Many years have passed, and the child who was attached to Adil has grown up.
As the youngest student next to Adil, Som has performed very well in these years. Not only did he assist Adil to overcome many technical problems, but he was also promoted to the third level wizard more than ten years ago and became the leader of the entire world.
The first powerful wizard to be promoted to the third level.
However, in all these years, Som has always stayed by Adil's side and never left for a long time.
Therefore, Qi Mu and others were very curious about his external transfer this time.
"The children will eventually grow up and start their own families."
Raising a glass of wine, Lela said with a smile.
"Who are you?" Qi Mu was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses and asked curiously: "Which noble lady are you from?"
On the side, Slim said nothing, but his curious eyes fully expressed his attitude.
"She is not a young lady from a noble family, she is a civilian genius."
Lela didn't show off, she smiled and said directly: "You should know about Miss Eliza."
"It's her..." A flash of surprise flashed in Slim's eyes: "Is she the one who was promoted to a formal wizard at the age of thirteen and a second-level wizard at the age of twenty-three?"
"Who else can you like besides her?" Lela shook her head: "With Som's appearance of focusing on academics, who else can you like besides someone like him?"
"That's true." On the side, Qimu and Slim nodded in agreement.
More than fifty years have passed, and now, they are no longer the young people they were back then. They have each gotten married in these years, and some even have grandchildren. Each family is very prosperous.
At present, his junior brother is still single. In these years, they have introduced partners to Som more than once, but in the end, without exception, they all failed.
After so many years, they had long since given up on Som's life-long career, which is why they were so surprised when they heard that Som had someone he liked.
"Everyone has grown up."
Holding the wine glass, Lela shook her head: "Even Som, who is usually dull, has found his favorite candidate now. It is estimated that he will be able to invite us to the wedding in the near future."
"But beside the teacher, there is still a girl who is not married yet."
"Not to mention whether she is willing or not, even if she is willing, whether anyone dares to marry her is another matter." On the side, Shrem couldn't help complaining: "A third-level peak god, who has the courage to marry her?"
Are you brave enough to touch her?"
What he was talking about was naturally Adil's last student, the girl named Xina.
Because of the original blessing of the Crimson King, this girl turned out to be the strongest among Adil's many students. She reached the third level peak a few years ago. In this world, almost no one except Adil is.
her opponent.
However, perhaps due to the influence of the Crimson King's bloodline, over the years, the girl has changed from her quiet past and has become very hot-tempered, causing headaches for everyone in Lela.
"Don't say that yet."
On the side, Qi Mu shook his head: "If she is really willing, I am afraid that the gate of the palace will not be broken through by those nobles."
"If you are a third-level pinnacle student who is still a teacher, even if you have a hot temper, there will still be a lot of people who want to marry you back."
Having said this, the corners of the three people's mouths couldn't help but twitch. They couldn't imagine what it would be like for the little witch to be married off.
But what is certain is that the scene must be terrifying.
While chatting, they talked about other topics.
"In a few days, after staying in Elka State for a while, I will go to Gulan State in the south to visit."
Looking at the familiar old friend in front of her, Lela said.
"What are you going to do?" Beside him, Shrem spoke concisely and asked directly.
"Suppress a group of rebellious royal descendants." After thinking for a while, Lela still said.
"After all these years, haven't these people given up yet?" On the side, Qimu put down the wine glass in his hand, as if he had remembered something.
"How can it be so easy to forget the hatred of the country's demise." Lela shook her head gently: "But that's it."
"Most of the descendants of the original royal family were recruited and became the current nobles. Some of the descendants who refused to be recruited were almost wiped out in these years. The rest will not be a problem."
"The reason why I made the trip this time is because I heard that among the royal descendants who caused trouble this time, there was a second-level priest, and his bloodline was very rare."
Raising the wine glass in her hand and looking outside the tavern, Lela said softly: "It just so happens that Som is coming over in the next few days. These royal descendants should be regarded as the gifts I prepared for him."
"Didn't he just mutter before that he didn't have enough royal descendants for experiments? I just caught a batch for him to make up the number."
"You seem to be stingy when you come like this." Beside him, Slim shook his head, stood up slowly and tremblingly: "That's right."
