The most powerful wizard in the magic world

"Gerlin," said Master Gofat in a deep and magnetic voice, "The Rayleigh family has a profound influence in this world. The knowledge and resources they possess are enough to help you complete your transformation and become a formal wizard."

"I understand that this opportunity is extraordinary." Gerling lowered his head slightly, thinking back to the days when he read those old scrolls in the library every day. "But... is the 80-year soul oath really worth it?"

Mentor Gofat sighed, his eyes softened. "Young man, every deal has its price. All the Rayleigh family asks is your loyalty to them. You will gain not only resources, but also their guidance and the precious experience you need as a wizard."

Gerlin raised his head, his eyes flickering. "But if I do this, I can never turn back. My future will completely depend on their will. If something unexpected happens..." There was a hint of uneasiness in his words.

"I understand every possibility you have considered, but trust itself is a kind of power." Teacher Gofat said firmly, "The Rayleigh family needs you, just as you need them. When you step into this world, you will understand that only through trust and cooperation can you gain real power."

"How can I make initial contact with the Rayleigh family?" Gerling finally revealed an eager look.

"Tonight, you will be invited to a party of the Rayleigh family. Many wizards and nobles will be present. This is a good opportunity to get to know them." Teacher Gofat smiled, seeming to be full of confidence in Gerlin's future.

As time went on, night fell, and the stars twinkled quietly in the sky. Gelling put on a brand new suit, looking a little nervous. He stood in front of the mirror, looking at himself carefully, thinking to himself: "Tonight will be a turning point in my life."

The party was held in the manor of the Rayleigh family. The gorgeous castle was decorated with bright candlelight, making it look like a dream. The air was filled with fragrance, a mixture of fruit and barbecue, which made people's taste buds feel excited.

Teacher Gofat stood beside him, smiling and encouraging him. "Relax and show your best. Remember, the Rayleigh family appreciates sincerity and talent."

Gerling nodded and tried to adjust his breathing. In the crowded hall, he could feel the attention from all sides, both expectation and scrutiny. He gradually walked towards the center, where the climax of the party was unfolding.

"Welcome, young wizard!" A middle-aged man in a gorgeous robe walked over with a loud laugh. His name was Arthur Rayleigh, an authoritative elder in the Rayleigh family. His hair was gray and his eyes sparkled with wisdom.

"Thank you, Elder Arthur." Gerlin bowed slightly, trying to calm his nervous mood.

"I have heard about your potential and talent, and even Teacher Gofat has high praise for you." Arthur smiled and guided him to the long, wide table, which was filled with rich food that was delicious and beautiful.

"I am very grateful to receive this recognition." Gerling tried to remain calm and tried to hide his uneasiness in his heart.

"Order a drink and celebrate with us!" Arthur said, smiling and handing Gerlin a glass of crystal clear wine.

"I admire you, Elder." Gerlin took the wine glass, raised it to gesture, and silently recited his expectations for the future in his heart.

"Our Rayleigh family has created many theories of witchcraft and led the world to a higher level." Arthur's pride was evident in his words. "If you can follow us and contribute your strength, you will be honored."

"I am willing to do my best to help the Rayleigh family." A hint of determination flashed in Gerlin's eyes.

"A sincere oath is the most precious treasure." Another burly man said bluntly, "Young wizard, your determination is admirable."

Gerlin looked in the direction of the voice and saw a young witch from the Rayleigh family. She had long black hair, delicate features, and an elegant temperament. She smiled and pointed at several wizards who were talking in the distance. "That's our elder. If you perform well tonight, I will recommend you to them."

"Thank you." Gerlin's heart trembled, and more hope surged in his heart.

The gathering was held in a pleasant atmosphere, with many wizards exchanging knowledge and sharing experiences. Garlin also participated in it, trying his best to show his talents and incorporate his own insights into the discussion.

"I heard that you are quite knowledgeable about elemental magic?" asked a kind-looking wizard.

"Yes, I have been exploring them." Gerlin said seriously, "The interaction and balance of elements are the core of witchcraft. I believe that only by capturing these details can we achieve unexpected effects when casting spells."

"Your insights are very unique," the wizard nodded in praise, "and are worth further discussion."

Garlin became more confident during the communication and felt the connection between himself and this group of modern wizards. His thoughts gradually surged, no longer limited to the connection with the Rayleigh family, and he longed for a wider ocean of knowledge.

As the night deepened, the party reached its climax. The head of the Rayleigh family stepped forward, and applause broke out. The entire hall fell silent. "Thank you to every wizard who participated tonight. Your participation makes this party shine."

Garlin was excited; this was his chance to show himself.

"Today, I hope a promising young wizard can come forward and discuss the future direction with us." The chief's eyes swept across the meeting place, and the meeting place instantly became as quiet as water. Gerlin mustered up his courage and stepped forward.

"Respected patriarch, my name is Gerlin, and I hope to get this opportunity." His voice trembled slightly, but his eyes were firm.

"Gerlin, you are Master Gofat's apprentice, right?" The clan leader looked at him with interest. "Your decision is commendable. It takes courage to stand up."

"I believe that the future of wizards should not rely solely on the glory of the family." Gerling spoke clearly, "We should explore together and lead the development of magic into unknown areas."

There were whispers in the meeting room, and Arthur raised his eyebrows with an admiring look on his face. "Yes, this mentality is very important. The Rayleigh family has always been known for its open mind and innovative spirit, and we need people like you." He turned to the patriarch, "Let's support him."
