Zerato's pier was filled with people cheering.
Grimm and the rest stood at the edge of the ship's deck, waving goodbye to the crowd excitedly. Only Lafite was a little down, a trace of worry flashing across her willowy brows.
With this departure, it was very likely that she would never have the chance to return …
On the pier, Duke Zerato, Apollo, and Dira stood together.
This Wizard Dira, who was in charge of picking up the children with the potential to become acolytes, looked different from the mysterious Wizard Apollo beside him. It was as if he was shrouded in a layer of mist.
Under Dira's loose gray Wizard robes, his slightly pale wrinkled face was brazenly peeked at by the people on the pier. He wore a black eyepatch over his right eye, as if he was blind with only one eye?
"Hehe, I didn't expect you to be the one to pick up these little fellows this time. How's the situation on the other islands?"
Apollo asked after exchanging Wizard etiquette with Dira.
"Croak, croak, croak …"
The red-eyed frog on Apollo's hand also puffed up its white belly and croaked a few times.
Dira had a habit of flying slightly above the ground to converse with people, to hide the fact that he was short.
After smiling at the red-eyed frog, Dira took out a magic stone, which disappeared after being rolled up by the red-eyed frog's tongue. Only then did Dira smile at Apollo.
"Not bad, there are a lot more qualified acolytes this year than in previous years. Looks like I'll be able to earn a lot from this mission, hahaha."
Dira joked.
"Yes, there are indeed more than in previous years …"
Apollo sighed.
Dira did not care too much about this problem, and instead looked at Duke Zerato beside him.
"You old man, every time you come here, you make such a big fuss. Be careful that those little fellows don't die because of their pride."
The fuss that Dira was referring to was naturally the cheering people on the pier.
Although part of it was deliberately arranged by Duke Zerato, these people who lived in remote areas of the Eastern Coral Island were more than happy to come and join in the fun to be able to interact with the legendary Magi.
The duke twisted the ruby ring on his right thumb, which was as smooth as a baby's face, with his left hand.
"Sigh … I'd rather they be proud than forget about this place. If one of them becomes an official Sorcerer in a few decades, he can come back to take a look. "
Dira chuckled softly and glanced at the Sorcerer-Apprentices on the deck who were currently bidding farewell to the cheering crowd. He said disdainfully, "In the past, it would be considered good if a ship could produce a few official Sorcerers. These little fellows don't stand much of a chance."
Obviously, this Sorcerer did not think highly of Grimm and the others, because Dira, who had experienced the difficult years of being a Sorcerer's apprentice, knew very well how difficult it was to become an official Sorcerer.
Right at this moment, Dira seemed to have thought of something, and he excitedly said, "Oh, that's right, there are two little guys on this ship with Innate Manifestation aptitude and spiritual power of 15 or above. Even I'm tempted to take them as my disciples. If it weren't for the fact that those two have some background over there …"
After a while, after hearing Dyla's description, the duke revealed a somewhat surprised expression.
Instead, Apollo shook his head and said, "For a Wizard, knowledge is the foundation of everything."
Dira's mouth twitched. "Good talent and knowledge don't conflict."
The conversation between the three of them lasted for half an hourglass. Dira glanced behind him and saw that the group of sailors who were replenishing their supplies had almost finished loading the goods. So, it was time to set sail.
Although Sorcerers had normal human emotions, they had learned to control their most superficial desires. Over the years, they had learned to control their emotions, so they would not reveal too many emotions of reluctance.
"Well then, farewell."
Dira gave the two a sorcerer's farewell salute.
"Mmm, if this trip to the underground world goes smoothly, I'll return to the academy after 20 years. I wonder if those old geezers have taught some decent students to participate in the Holy Tower Tryouts."
Apollo teased.
After a while, as the giant ship carrying the Sorcerer-Apprentices slowly left, the people on the dock began to disperse. However, the topic of Sorcerers was still the same.
Obviously, ordinary people were very curious and respectful toward these mysterious Sorcerers.
On the other side, on the deck of the ship, apart from the busy sailors, the seven Sorcerer-Apprentices who were being lectured by this Sorcerer named Dira very quickly discovered that they weren't the only seven Sorcerer-Apprentices on the ship …
"You little fellows must first remember the first rule. Although competition is the eternal rule of the Sorcerer World, the rules of our Lilith Sorcerer Academy forbid Sorcerers from killing each other within the academy. So, if any of you guys dare to kill someone on the ship, I'll let you dry on the mast for seven days and then throw you into the sea to feed the sharks. "
Dira's fierce gaze swept across the few Sorcerer-Apprentices, so they did not doubt his determination at all.
"Hmph, second, don't disturb me unless someone is killed."
This Sorcerer did not seem to have much interest in chatting with these little fellows who were not even regular Sorcerer-Apprentices. He directly walked to the best room on the deck, not forgetting to shout.
"Baron, assign these guys room numbers. Look after these little fellows, just don't tear the ship apart."
"Understood, Master."
A tall, dark-skinned man on the deck shouted toward them from afar.
After Dira entered the room, the guy named Baron ran over from afar.
Green and the others noticed that although Baron didn't seem to have much of a body, his well-defined muscles gave them a sense of oppression. This also proved that Baron wasn't someone to be trifled with.
"I'm a Legendary Knight. Although Master said that as long as no one is killed, you can look for me if anything happens on the ship. Hmm, for example, some of these little fellows like to harass those pretty girls … "
Baron grinned, showing his white teeth, and glanced at Raffey and Anna.
Grimm was shocked. A Legendary Knight had become the servant of a Sorcerer?
There was not a single Legendary Knight in the whole of Bi Seer City. Legend had it that a Legendary Knight was qualified to travel around the Sorcerer World.
Lefay snorted coldly.
"If anyone dares to harass me, I'll throw them into the sea."
A burst of baleful aura filled the air. One of the seven sorcerer-apprentices was instantly petrified and drenched in cold sweat.
Anna blushed and didn't know what to do. Chris, who was standing next to Lefay, also snorted coldly, "If you dare to touch my sister, you'll have to get past me first."
After saying that, the guy clenched his fists, making creaking sounds.
Among the seven apprentices, Chris had the strongest physique. He was 1.8 meters tall and had a decent physique. It would not be a problem for him to take on two of them at once.
Next were Greene and Keelrum. As for Wade and Robinson, they were nobles who had never done any work, so they had no fighting power at all.
Baron seemed to have seen this kind of situation many times. He did not waste any time and reached into a wooden box on the deck. He took out seven number plates and threw them to the seven of them.
"These are your room numbers."
After that, Baron left without paying attention to them.
The apprentices lived in the cabin below the deck of the ship. There were five floors in total.
However, they soon found out that the cabin was very humid and the environment was very bad. The lower the floor, the worse the environment. At the lowest floor, they had to live together with the sailors. This made them very unhappy.
Clearly, the extravagant lifestyle they had experienced along the way had caused them to experience such a drastic change. They were not used to it.
The one whose expression was the ugliest was Lafite's, because the brand in her hands was precisely the lowest level brand. This made his delicate little face feel like it was about to freeze, his expression incredibly gloomy.
Green, on the other hand, didn't care because he took a three-story sign, which was neither too high nor too low. Anyway, Green had been used to a simple life for more than ten years.
Chris and Anna York were the happiest among them all.
They had picked the fifth floor at the same time, which was really lucky.
The seven of them searched for their rooms with different moods. Chris and his sister were on the top floor, so they found their rooms first. Just as the others were about to leave the top floor to find their rooms, Chris's roar erupted in the cabin. All the other apprentices on the fifth floor peeked their heads out of their rooms.
"This is my sister's room. Please leave!"
Chris shouted at the man who occupied his sister's room. Anna was terrified. She tugged at her brother's clothes and said in a low voice, "Brother, let's give him the room. I'm scared."
The man who confronted Chris was also a large man. His height was about the same as Chris', and he had a fearless look on his face.
When he heard Chris' sister talking, he became even more arrogant. He sneered and said, "You think you can leave just because you want to? Who do you think you are? Who cares about the number plate? First come, first served. Hehehehe … At most, you can let your sister sleep with me. "
After saying that, this guy glanced at Anna with a smirk, and then started to provoke Chris.
"You want to die?"
Chris looked like he had been poked. He punched the guy with a red face and thick neck.
Chris and the guy quickly got into a fight.
Grimm and Robinson couldn't stand it anymore. Although they didn't like Chris and Jirum's arrogance along the way, they had to stand up for them. After all, they had come together.
Only Wade didn't move. He seemed to be scared silly by such a rude fight.
On the other side, Jirum was even more ruthless. After a cold snort, he curled his lips and said, "None of my business."
Then he left without looking back.
"You bastard! Don't let me see you again!" Wade snarled at the leaving Jirum, but he didn't want to go forward.
On the other side, Grimm and Robinson finally pulled away from each other. Chris's fighting ability was still very high. It had only been a while, but the guy he was fighting had a swollen eye.
Glenn couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that this guy had practiced before?
"Good, good. Call for help, right? Call for help? Fine, I'll call too! Boss, Mouse, stop watching the show and come out to help! "
The guy with a swollen eye shouted toward the cabin, staring fiercely at Chris as if he was going to eat him. Chris had a fearless attitude and sneered, "Go call, call as you like. I'll fight all three of you!"
However, after a commotion in the cabin, Grimm looked back. His pupils shrank and his heart went cold. "It's too much, too much. Chris is finished …"
