early morning.

The fog has not yet dissipated.

A dark carriage drove into the path, and the driver relied on skill to avoid the undulations of the terrain.

Karl opened the car curtain, looked at the familiar road, and asked:

"The way to Lord Renekton's manor outside the city?"

"good."

Tim, who is sitting opposite, is wearing a top hat and a white tie, just like a guest dressed up for a banquet.

He gently raised his cane and pointed outside:

"At the same time, this is also the way to the manor of my mentor, 'Senior Wizard Apprentice' Adolf."

"Adolf?" Karl's eyes moved slightly:

"The pharmacist?"

"Yes." Tim nodded:

"The tutor's research focuses on pharmacy."

"What is a wizard?" Karl asked:

"What did you bring me here for?"

"Haha..." Tim chuckled:

"You will know when you get there. In short, this is an area that many people will never be able to touch in their lifetime."

Regarding the 'Wizard', Karl asked many times along the way, but the other party kept silent.

Although he didn't know what he would face next, he had a feeling that this trip would change his destiny.

It was also because of this that he agreed to follow the other party.

"arrive!"

The U-shaped iron door opens to both sides. The surface of the stone wall is obviously mottled, and the wooden sign with the name written on it is covered with vines.

This is a dilapidated manor.

There is a sense of passage of time everywhere.

An old gardener was pruning flowers and plants with scissors in his hand. When he saw Tim, he bent down and saluted with some difficulty.

"He..." Karl looked at the gardener with suspicion in his eyes:

"Have you ever practiced breathing techniques?"

The moment the opponent's gaze swept over him, the Poison Wolf Breathing Technique started to work spontaneously, and a warning sign flashed in his heart.

Although it was only for a moment, it was definitely right.

"yes."

Tim nodded, looking casual:

"Old Harry was a knight."

"knight?"

Karl was shocked.

Knights are even rarer than nobles. Even if they are old, they are still important people in the city, but now they are doing the job of pruning flowers and plants for people.

"Let's go."

Tim quickened his pace:

"Don't keep the tutor waiting."

Karl withdrew his gaze and hurriedly followed.

The manor was very large and empty. I walked on the lawn and came to an old castle building, only to see people again.

"This way!"

Tim led the way to a side hall specially designed to receive guests. There were already people waiting inside.

"tutor."

The old man sitting in the middle is dressed in long gray clothes, with his white hair scattered casually, and his appearance is upright. Although he is old, he can tell that he must have been very masculine when he was young.

His eyes were cloudy and dim, and he seemed to be disinterested in everything.

This depressed attitude made him look a little decadent.

Adolf!

A senior wizard apprentice.

The ancient manor, the mysterious wizard, the scrutiny of the people around him, and the inexplicable atmosphere made Karl subconsciously become cautious.

"It's been a few years."

Looking at Karl, Adolf's eyes cheered up a little, and he whispered:

"Unexpectedly, there is another potential seed in Signuo City. He comes at the right time."

He didn't say when it was, he just waved to him.

"Sibel, go test his talent."

"yes."

A young girl heard the words and acted accordingly.

The girl held a crystal ball the size of a human head in her hand, walked slowly to Karl, and smiled sweetly:

"Relax."

"Just put your hands on it."

"Hand." Karl came back to his senses:

"OK."

Following the other party's instructions, he placed his hands on the surface of the crystal ball, and immediately felt his body tremble.

It was as if there was an electric current flowing through his hands and throughout his body.

The next moment.

"Um!"

Karl groaned, feeling as if his mind was exploding, and an inexplicable pain hit him.

This sharp pain came and went away just as quickly.

When he came to his senses, his hands had already separated from the crystal ball, and the girl lowered her head and stared at the crystal ball carefully.

The originally transparent crystal ball suddenly became colorful and constantly changing.

After a while.

"Level 4."

The girl looked back at Adolf:

"Teacher, his talent level is level four, but his mental power is much stronger than that of ordinary people, making it easier to be promoted to a wizard apprentice."

"Level 4?"

Adolf sighed, obviously disappointed:

"It's lower."

Then he said:

"According to the ancient 'General Principles of Wizards', when a gifted seed is found, it should be guided to the correct path of a wizard."

"Karl, I will teach you meditation, but whether you can become a wizard apprentice depends on your own efforts."

"Old sir." Karl finally had time to ask his doubts:

"What is a wizard?"

"What is a wizard?" Adolf pondered, and after thinking for a moment, he gave the answer:

"The so-called wizard is a being who has mastered some special power in the process of pursuing knowledge and truth."

"Special power?" Karl's eyes lit up:

"The Miles kind?"

"yes."

Adolf obviously knew what happened yesterday and nodded:

"The Miles you are talking about, as well as Sibel, Tim, including me, are all such people."

"Then what is a wizard apprentice?" Karl asked again.

"It's hard to become a real wizard. Before that, you're just a wizard apprentice." Adolf smiled and stroked his beard:

"My lifelong pursuit is to become a formal wizard."

"Carl." Tim said:

"There are not many formal wizards in the entire Gondor Kingdom, and there are only two senior wizard apprentices in Signo City."

"The mentor is one of them."

Carl was confused.

"Then..."

He rolled his throat:

"What is the talent level?"

"Most people in this world don't have the talent to become wizards, and talents are different." The girl named Xibel explained:

"We usually divide the talent level into five levels, with the first level being the best and the fifth being the worst."

"Level 4..."

"It's quite ordinary."

She said it politely. In fact, most people with level 4 talents can only become junior wizard apprentices in their lifetime, and it is very rare to become intermediate wizard apprentices.

Not to mention formal wizards.

Carl could also sense the change in the other party's tone, but he didn't care about it.

He didn't even know what a wizard apprentice was, not to mention the impact of talent level on the future.

"Old Master... Teacher."

Carl bowed to Adolf and changed his address:

"After learning the meditation method you mentioned, can I have the ability like Miles?"

"No!"

Adolf shook his head:

"Meditation can increase your mental strength and have the ability to cast witchcraft, but you still need to learn the corresponding witchcraft to master special powers."

"Witchcraft?" Carl asked:

"What witchcraft can I learn?"

"Carl."

Adolf chuckled:

"In the wizard world, everything is priced, especially knowledge."

"You call me teacher, and I will teach you meditation, but learning witchcraft requires an additional price."

"Price?" Carl said:

"Gold coins?"

If you can have the ability of Miles, it is worth spending money.

"No." However, Adolf shook his head and rejected:

"I don't need gold coins."

"But you have something that I am interested in."

?

Carl lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a ring inlaid with a sapphire jade from his body.
