After a day's journey, Grimm finally found out that the mysterious sorcerer's name was Apollo, and their destination was a sorcerer academy called Lilith's Cottage.
The academy was very far away, and it would take at least two months of sailing on the sea.
"Before we arrive at Krakatoa Harbor, we have to visit two cities. During this period, if you have any basic questions, I can answer them for you once for free."
On the path of the seven people, Apollo's witchcraft spoke slowly.
After a day of observation, Grimm found that among the six wizard apprentices, the one closest to the great wizard was Keelrum.
However, it was only natural. This guy had basically become Apollo's servant, busying himself and taking care of the Sorcerer. He had even received many benefits from the Sorcerer.
However, this guy was hated by the other five wizard apprentices.
This was because his face was full of disdain and arrogance towards the other sorcerer-apprentices. He looked at them with contempt, as if he was a notch above the other sorcerer-apprentices.
"Master, you're so great. It just so happens that the spiritual meditation you taught me the day before yesterday is too profound and obscure, and I still haven't figured it out …"
Keelrum was carrying a large bag full of wizard's belongings. Because he was the closest to the wizard, he could be the first to ask the wizard.
Wade, who also wanted to ask the wizard a question, saw this and cursed, "Bastard, what a slave life."
Curling his lips, Wade silently followed behind.
Chris and his sister, Anna, walked further behind. Looking at the two people in front of them fighting to be the first to ask the wizard for advice, he said disdainfully, "Hmph, two idiots without wizardry talent. When I become a great wizard in the wizard academy, you'll all be trash licking my feet."
His sister, Anna, was silent, as if she was a girl without a mind of her own.
Grimm did not go to the front to fight and ask the wizard a question, because there were two questions Grimm really wanted to know, but the wizard only let him ask one.
What caught Grimm's attention was that the wizard said the word "free" to everyone.
In other words, could it be that at the Sorcerer Academy, Sorcerer-Apprentices were not allowed to consult official Sorcerers for free?
In order to cherish this free opportunity, Grimm thought for a moment and locked his gaze on the sullen Lafite at the back of the group.
This girl was the daughter of the lord of Bi Seer City, but she was forced to go to Lilith's Hut by the lord of Bi Seer City. She was the only one among the six students who did not want to become a sorcerer-apprentice.
Maybe she knew more about the Wizarding Academy than the others.
There were two questions that Grimm was most interested in. One was what the Sorcerer World was like, and the other was the reason why Sorcerers were able to master Secret Sorcery.
The second question was a little profound, but if it was the first question, the daughter of the City Lord should have some understanding.
And so, Grimm silently leaned towards Lafite.
"The Magus World?"
Lafite, who was feeling sad, glanced at Grimm in surprise.
When Grimm leaned towards her, Lafite, who had experienced too much, thought that Grimm wanted to get close to her. After all, it was common for nobles to do such things, and as the daughter of the City Lord, she had experienced many seemingly accidental encounters since she was young.
However, although Lafite did not like nobles who were close to her, she did not like lowly commoners either. Normally, Lafite would not give Grimm any face, but when she thought about the life she would have to face in the future …
She bit her lip and looked at Grimm's longing face. Lafite's delicate little face showed sadness, and she sighed.
"Actually, the Sorcerer Continent is not as beautiful as you think. First of all, all the status you have now is useless in the Sorcerer Continent, because you may never be able to come back in this lifetime. "
Grimm was shocked. Never be able to come back in this lifetime?
Could it be that he would be imprisoned?!
Seeing that Grimm seemed to have misunderstood, Lafite said softly, "In any case, before we become official Magi, we will forever live in that place called the Sorcerer Continent. It is an incomparably vast region, and you don't have to imagine how big it is. In short, it is much bigger than you can imagine. There, Magi are supreme existences, or should I say, the power that Magi hold is supreme … "
Half a day later, Grimm was deeply shocked by everything Lafite had said. If the Sorcerer World was really like what Lafite said, then it was not as beautiful as he had imagined.
"In short, in the Sorcerer World, without power, magic stones, or background, it is best for you to forever keep a low profile and do what you have to do. Otherwise, death will be the norm."
Lafite said coldly.
Grimm swallowed his saliva. After half a day, he finally began to slowly accept this cruel reality, and was even a little hesitant. Should he back out?
After all, Lafite's description of the Sorcerer World was too horrifying. Human lives seemed to be worthless, and there were no nobles to control these Magi.
A small Sorcerer-Apprentice like him might one day be casually erased by a powerful Sorcerer.
He was just a commoner who had never seen the world.
Lafite saw Grimm's frightened expression, and he did not want to give him another blow, so he shook his head.
"Of course, the Sorcerer Continent is not as scary as you think. The Sorcerer Continent has its own rules, and the ones who control these rules are the Sorcerer Academies with unimaginable power."
Grimm followed the team silently. After a long silence, he finally raised his head, his eyes filled with determination.
If he really retreated because of fear, although he might be able to return to Bi Seer City and live a comfortable life, he would also lose the only chance to truly see this wonderful world!
Moreover, when he thought of the old butler of the Viscount Mansion, and how he and Old Ham were bullied by those knights …
Now that he had become a Sorcerer's apprentice, even the high and mighty Lord Castellan had to treat him well. The difference was …
Lafite saw Grimm's determined gaze, and he laughed coldly.
"Hehe, fortunately, you made the right choice. I bet that if you dared to tell Sir Apollo about quitting, Sir Apollo would have gotten rid of you immediately. Hmm, look, it's like that over there. "
Grimm and Lafite were already at the back of the team, and when they looked at where Lafite was pointing, Grimm was shocked.
In front of the team, seven to eight bandits with axes and machetes in their hands were lying on the ground. Their eyes were filled with fear. Because the Sorcerers had acted so quickly, Grimm did not even realize that his team had been ambushed, and the bandits were already dead.
Boom!
The seven to eight meters tall red-eyed frog fell from the sky, and landed on the last fleeing bandit.
With a "puchi" sound, the bandit turned into a pile of flesh and blood. Chris, who was asking Apollo for advice, was completely stunned, and his legs could not help but tremble.
Grimm also felt his legs turn to jelly. He did not even have to look to know that his expression was terrible, not much better than Chris who was in front of the team.
On the other hand, although Lafite's expression was not good, he was still calm.
"Croak, croak, croak …"
The frog shrank again and jumped onto Apollo's hand. The Sorcerer continued to lead the team forward as if nothing had happened.
After more than an hourglass, Grimm stood respectfully beside the Sorcerer and asked for advice.
"The principle of a Sorcerer mastering witchcraft? Hmm, that's a good question. "
Wizard Apollo praised Grimm, and then added, "Very good!"
Grimm looked at the Sorcerer in shock.
"I've guided many Sorcerer-Apprentices, and more than 90% of them asked me to teach them witchcraft to kill, but they ignored the essence of a Sorcerer. The remaining 10% of them only asked random and random questions. None of them were able to see through the essence of the questions like you did. "
See through the essence? How did I see through the essence?
Grimm did not know what was going on.
Apollo then threw a book to Grimm.
"To borrow a great Sorcerer's words to answer your question. Give me endless knowledge, and I will use myself as a fulcrum to move the endless world. Therefore, to a Sorcerer, true power is the knowledge he has mastered and his own mana. However, in the end, you will find that the source of a Sorcerer's power is still the knowledge he has mastered. "
Apollo pointed at the book in Grimm's hand and said, "This Guide to Meditation is my gift to you. It contains some of my past experiences."
Grimm held the Guide to Meditation in a daze, and his eyes revealed a look of disbelief.
"Use one's own mana as a fulcrum, and endless knowledge as a lever to move the endless world? If one's own mana and knowledge are the foundation of a Sorcerer's power, why did Apollo say that knowledge is the source of a Sorcerer's power? "
The questions that came one after another made Grimm a little confused.
However, seeing that Apollo had already walked far away, as if he was only answering one question from each person, Grimm did not dare to continue asking.
Grimm did not realize that if he could answer all these questions, it would be the knowledge of the Sorcerer World.
