Chapter 19 Three months and the arrival of the wizard ship (4500)
Three months have passed in a blink of an eye.
In the dormitory of Aurelian College, Locke tidied up everything in his room, moved out of the dormitory, and stored the excess items in the family manor house where the Augustine family now lives.
In these three months, Locke, with the help of Professor Alder, learned the spell [Skull Explosion] on the last third day.
To practice [Skull Explosion] you don’t need to kill a person, you just need to kill some livestock and use the death energy generated.
Although the learning is accelerated, so it is not solid, you can practice these by yourself after boarding the wizard ship to make up for the basics.
So, it doesn’t matter.
After completing the second trick, Locke felt that his mental power had once again increased by at least 30%. However, because there were no magic resources specifically for testing mental power on Corfu Island, Locke never knew the exact value of his current mental power.
In the villa where the Augustine family currently lives temporarily, Count Augustine and Gloria held a farewell banquet for Locke. They even invited many famous nearby families in the name of Locke's long trip.
Of course, these people only knew that Locke was going on a long journey. They just thought that Locke was going to travel from one kingdom to another, but they did not expect that the so-called journey meant leaving the mainland of Corfu and heading to a wider world.
Sienna Brown and her daughter were at the banquet, trying their best to please Locke, because she knew that Locke now has the highest status in the family.
She wanted to get Locke closer to her daughter, but it was a pity that Locke always had a cold attitude.
Gloria hugged Locke forcefully, and then whispered in Locke's ear: "Brother, if you see your mother in the future, please say hello for me." A warm harbor."
"Remember to go home and see, don't leave like mother and sister...our biological sister."
Locke nodded slightly. The past few months of getting along with him have strengthened his relationship with this family.
Count Augustine came over and patted Locke on the shoulder. "You have grown up, so I am relieved that you are leaving."
hh "You don't have to worry about family matters."
hh "Because of you, the Frank Emperor transferred Count Augustine to the throne. He also gave it to us, restored our title, and even betrothed a princess to your eldest brother Gorea." Count Augustine raised a sarcastic smile on his lips and glanced at the wealthy nobles at the banquet. "These people's ears are always the most sensitive, so they are all rushing to please us."
Locke asked one more question. "Betrothed to a princess? Emperor Frank is quite willing. Father, do you agree?"
Count Augustine and Gloria looked at each other and smiled, and the count said: "Why don't you agree? Your eldest brother has seen the weak princess and is very satisfied."
"For family considerations, if the future Count Augustine can marry a princess from the Frank Empire, it will be of great benefit to our family."
"Of course." Count Augustine whispered: "This is all because of you, so if you are good, we will all be well."
"The person Frank Emperor really wants to please is you."
"But I just hope you can be safe, Locke."
Locke nodded, and he felt a little warmer in his heart. At least in this strange world, there are some family members who care about him.
At the moment, he has a greater sense of identification with the Augustine family.
Locke said: "I will take good care of myself."
"In the future, if there is a chance, I will come back from the wizarding world and come to Corfu again."
"If a wizard can appear in a family, then their descendants will have The possibility of becoming a wizard will be greatly increased, and perhaps his brother's descendants will be able to enter the wizarding world in the future. "
"Of course, this is only a possibility." Gloria's eyes lit up, and during this time, he did feel a little envious of his younger brother.
I envy him that he can become a wizard.
It's a pity that he doesn't have wizard qualifications, but it would be great if his descendants could have it.
Now he understands that the so-called wizard is a person who even the emperor of the Frankish Empire, who is about to unify the Corfu continent, wants to please.
Locke said briefly: "Okay, the time has come, I'm leaving."
Locke said goodbye to his family, got on the carriage arranged by Aurelian College downstairs, and headed to the dock outside the city.
Dean Tunguska and others are already waiting there.
Today is the day the wizard ship arrives, and it is also the day he officially enters the wizard world.
At the pier, Aurelian College has arranged soldiers in advance to block the pier, so there are not many people here at the moment.
Only Dean Tunguska, Professor Alder, Patty and Cord, and their respective families.
Since we have to leave Corfu by boat, and without the resources of a formal wizard, it is impossible to cross the endless mysterious sea and return to Corfu, so the college has sent people to invite their families over and say goodbye here.
Cord’s family are all lords and serfs, but it is said that they have been given civilian status by the emperor of the Frank Empire and given a large amount of property, becoming small rich people.
Similarly, Patty’s family also changed from merchants to small lords.
When Locke arrived, he nodded to Cord and Patty, and then walked towards Dean Tunguska and Professor Alder.
Professor Alder's eyes flickered and he said nothing. He just stood there silently and stared at Locke calmly.
He knew in his heart that for others, it might be possible to see Locke again in this life, but for him, this time was a farewell.
On the pier, a gust of wind suddenly blew. The wind was very strong, flying sand and rocks, and flying dust. In the distance, on the gray ocean, a huge shadow appeared. The shadow broke through the sea and sky and headed towards the pier of Corfu Island.
Full of a sense of oppression.
It is like a hill pressing towards the dock.
Comparing those mortal ships docked at the pier, they are like the gap between primitive wooden boats and aircraft carriers.
Locke's heart felt a huge layer of pressure for some reason, but it seemed that it was not just a psychological effect, because he soon discovered that even his own body was reacting. His knees were sore and his eyes were hot.
Locke noticed that Patty and Cord were even more miserable. There was sweat on their foreheads and they were very stressed.
And their family members showed signs of being unsteady.
Dean Tunguska looked at the three of them and said, "It doesn't matter, this is probably the first time you have faced magic pressure. Just take a rest."
"If ordinary people stay under such high magic pressure for a long time, permanent damage may occur. But you are all third-class wizard apprentices now, or close to the level of third-class wizards, so you only need to sleep for a while, and you will probably be able to adapt."
“After all, in the natural environment, such high magic pressure rarely occurs.”
Locke asked: "Teacher Tunguska, what is magic pressure? The book you gave me did not mention this."
Dean Tunguska was stunned for a moment when he saw that Locke could still speak, and then said: "Locke, you get on that ship, and soon you will know what magic pressure is."
"The wizarding world is different from the small world on Corfu. It's more predatory, but it's also full of possibilities."
"The three of you are all my students, and each of you is also a friend. When you get on the wizard ship, you have to learn to take care of each other."
Dean Tunguska gave a slight salute to the three of them. "I hope that next time I see you, one of you can become an official wizard."
"Only by becoming an official wizard will you have enough resources to return to your hometown, otherwise it will be difficult for you to come back."
Dean Tunguska said: "We will try our best to take good care of your family. Don't worry, with your relationship, they will definitely not have any problems living on Corfu Island in the future."
"The Tungus family in the wizarding world will know that you are my students and may be able to provide you with some help."
"Go, my students."
"A huge ship docked at the dock. This ship is still a wooden ship, but its size is like a giant cruise ship.
The overall shape is like a three-masted ship, but Locke believes that its driving force is definitely not wind power.
It is absolutely impossible for such a large ship to be driven by wind.
On the wooden boat, some wooden planks floated down, and those wooden planks formed a hollow staircase in mid-air, one level after another, one level after another.
Extended down from the deck of the tall wizard ship.
Dean Tunguska quickly raised his hands and saw the files on Locke and the other three people. Those three files also automatically flew to the wizard ship.
Ten seconds later, an indifferent voice came from the wizard's ship. "On Island No. 31, there are three wizard seedlings. Two are third-class wizard apprentices, and one is an ordinary person."
"Locke Augustine, Patty Issa, and Cord Newman walked onto the wizard ship within one minute."
"Reward the second-class wizard apprentice Zack Tungus and the second-class wizard apprentice Anshou Alder respectively, with 15 contribution points."
Dean Tungus and Professor Alder showed a little joy on their faces.
The contribution points of these schools are greater than the value of magic stones, and they are also the main reason why they come all the way to this barren land.
These contribution points will eventually be used by their respective families and become the cornerstone of their families.
But they are still a little sad in their hearts, because all the apprentices who have been training for many years will leave Corfu, and Aurelian College will only have two of them left for a long time in the future.
Until the next qualified wizard enters the academy, it may take several years, or even more than ten years.
When Locke walked up the floating wooden ladder, Dean Tunguska suddenly shouted: "Master Wizards, I have been away from my family for many years, and I miss my family so much. I want to write a letter to my family, can you help me send my letter..."
"This is just a request from me, a request from an old man who has been away from his hometown for many years..."
An indifferent voice came from the wizard's ship. "Second-class wizard apprentice Zak Tungus, just do your own thing. Coming to the wilderness for the school to dig out wizard seedlings is a contract you voluntarily signed."
"We don't owe you anything."
Dean Tungus sighed. Although he had expected it, he still couldn't accept being rejected so ruthlessly.
He took a deep breath, he should have expected this to be the case.
He has been respected in Corfu for many years, and it seems that he has begun to forget the ruthlessness and indifference of the wizarding world.
Locke looked back at Dean Tunguska, knowing more about the wizarding world.
A wizard apprentice who has been away from home for decades is stationed on a low-demon desert island for the sake of his school, but even his request to send a letter is ruthlessly rejected.
Locke thought of a word that Dean Tunguska always talked about before - equivalent exchange.
· Wizards in the wizarding world abide by the principle of equivalent exchange, and rationality and ruthlessness are the mainstream there.
Dean Tunguska could not afford the reward to ask the people on the wizard ship to send letters for him, so of course his request would be immediately rejected.
Locke was the last apprentice to step onto the deck of the wizard ship. When he got on the wizard ship, the suspended wooden stairs behind him automatically disintegrated piece by piece and flew back to the wizard ship.
Locke turned to look at Corfu. At that time, the wizard ship had already started moving, so he saw that Corfu was quickly moving away from him, becoming smaller and blurry.
I also saw Professor Alder who had been silent, nodded slightly to myself, then turned around and left quickly.
Lock stood on the deck, facing the distant Corfu Island, bowing slightly to salute in memory of his teachers...
Patty and Cord exclaimed, and Patty even said: "I didn't expect the wizard's ship to be like this, not gray at all."
"Then what's going on with the sun..."
Locke turned around, only to find that what he was seeing was not the gray sky and sea on the coast of Corfu, but the blue sky, white clouds, the rainbow hanging in space, and the bright sun.
He looked up and down and found that the sky only looked like this if he stood on the wizard ship and looked up. If he stood on the edge of the deck of the wizard ship and looked toward the distant ocean, he could still see the gray sky of the endless mysterious sea where the sun never shines all day long.
In other words, there is an artificial sky above the wizard's ship, and there is an artificial sun in the artificial sky.
The deck of the wizard ship is not a bare wooden plank. There are flower fields on the wooden planks. The flower fields are green grass, with many food crops, and there are also many beautiful flowers.
The environment on the deck is more like a beautiful garden with everything you need.
Locke and the other three were extremely surprised.
"Haha, hello, you must be surprised. I was already surprised when I got on the boat this morning." A young voice appeared behind Locke and others.
Locke turned around and found a young man wearing a white swordsman uniform and carrying a silver cross sword.
This man looks very handsome, with blond hair and a warm smile.
"My name is Raun Guerrero, from the Schleswig continent."
"Before you get on the ship, about three groups of students have already boarded the ship today."
"The wizard mentors here are different from the mentors on our mainland. They are not very unreasonable, so I think you may not know anything when you first get on the ship, so I will introduce you to the current situation." Crops, so that you can be self-sufficient. "
Locke did not expect that someone would greet him as soon as he got on the boat. He nodded to Lawn Guerrero and said, "Hello, Lawn, I am Locke Augustine."
Locke led Patty and Cohen to reluctantly say hello to him.
However, the two of them were a little wary and did not want to talk to Lawn Guerrero too much.
After chatting with Locke for a while, Lawn said: "The wizard instructors on the ship are here, and he will arrange a place for you to stay."
"If you need any help, you can come to me. I'm leaving first."
Locke turned his head and saw three wizards in black robes approaching in the distance. The magic power of these wizards was obviously more powerful than Dean Tunguska and Professor Alder.
Facing the unfamiliar wizard, Patty and Cord seemed even more nervous.
