Hathaway's reading speed was not fast. Seeing that she was reading seriously, Suhlen did not disturb her. Instead, he picked up another book from the shelf and began to read.
After about two hours, Hathaway let out a long sigh of relief and closed the book.
After exiting from that state, Hathaway only felt a sense of exhaustion. Her temples were slightly swollen and painful. Just now, she had finished reading, and her power of will and magic were severely depleted.
"How do you feel?" Suhlen walked over and gently pressed her temples with his fingers.
"Mmm." Hathaway moaned comfortably and closed her eyes in enjoyment.
"Phew!" After a while, Hathaway let out a long sigh of relief. "I feel much better now. When I put down the book just now, I felt like my head was going to explode!"
Suhlen smiled. "You read for too long. I only read for half an hour each time, and then I rest for a while before continuing. You read for more than two hours in one go. Of course your head is going to explode."
"Don't force yourself in the future," Hathaway said with a frown.
"What did you learn?" Suhlen asked.
Hathaway frowned. "I learned a lot, but I think I still need to wait a while before I can understand the riddle. The content of this book is too profound."
"Explain it to me when you've mastered it. I still have a lot of things I don't understand!" Suhlen said as he massaged her.
"Okay, I'll find you a few books later. The knowledge in those books is all prerequisite knowledge. You need to master it."
Hathaway's body curled up in Suhlen's arms and changed into a more comfortable position. "Although your basic knowledge is lacking, your talent for learning is really good. As long as you fill in the basic knowledge, it won't be hard for you to catch up with me."
In reality, apart from the limitation of aptitude, the requirement of intelligence was also very high. Many powerful wizards had the ability of [Encyclopedic Knowledge]. Wizards with this kind of talent would be heavily nurtured as long as they were discovered during their apprenticeship period. Every time, they would be the target of many wizards when they were recruiting disciples.
Above the talent of Encyclopedic Knowledge, there was an even more powerful talent called Eidetic Memory. With this talent, as long as one didn't die prematurely, becoming a legendary Wizard was basically something that was set in stone. With this talent, they could master a lot of knowledge, and the wizard academy would fully support them.
Hathaway had the [Encyclopedic Knowledge] talent, which allowed her to easily master a lot of knowledge. Retentive memory was a rare talent. A Wizard Academy might not even have one in a hundred or two hundred years.
"Okay." Suhlen looked at the list of books that Hathaway had made. Those books were almost as tall as him. With so many books to learn, it was no wonder that wizards were all otakus.
After a simple lunch with Hathaway, Suhlen went to the training ground. He had not slacked off on his combat skills for a long time. When he arrived at the training ground, Suhlen saw that Phyllis was already training in a hunting suit.
Although Phyllis was a princess, she was not delicate at all during training. She had a serious look on her face as she practiced with the half-elf ranger. To be honest, the skills of human warriors were not suitable for Phyllis, so Suhlen let the drow warrior and the half-elf ranger teach her combat skills together.
Suhlen did not go to the training ground. Instead, he stood not far away and watched for a while. Phyllis swung her long sword very vigorously. She was much stronger than before, and her footsteps were also very nimble. What she lacked now was combat experience.
"Looks like the effect of the dragon blood baptism is not bad!" Suhlen looked at Phyllis up and down with satisfaction. Her slender waist and plump butt were not bad.
"The recovery ability of the dragon pulse is good." Suhlen nodded with satisfaction.
After the awakening of the dragon pulse, a person's physique, strength, reflexes, and so on would be strengthened. It was an all-round improvement.
Dragon Warlocks were different from normal spellcasters. They usually learned a lot of melee combat skills. It could be said that a Dragon Warlock was not inferior to a warrior in melee combat. Compared to wizards, a Dragon Warlock had a lot less spells. When faced with a large number of enemies, they would have to pick up a sword and kill directly after using up their spells.
Generally speaking, a wizard who could not fight in melee like Gandalf was not a good wizard. Of course, there were not many wizards who could fight like Gandalf, but Gandalf's fighting style was very suitable for a Dragon Warlock.
Suhlen stood aside and watched Phyllis train with the half-elven ranger. Since the awakening of the dragon pulse, Phyllis's physique had improved significantly. The half-elven ranger in charge of teaching was also shocked.
As Phyllis's teacher, he was very surprised by Phyllis's performance. In less than half a month, Phyllis had gone from a weak girl who had just learned how to hold a weapon to an elite warrior. Was her talent really that good?
"Okay, take a break!" Suhlen said to the group.
"Yes, Lord Duke!" The training stopped.
"Phyllis, just training is not enough. If you want to become stronger, you need to undergo some training on the battlefield. After a while, I will let someone take you to participate in the cleaning of the territory. You should be able to easily deal with those goblins, kobolds, and gnolls." Suhlen looked at the heroic Phyllis and said.
Phyllis drew a beautiful sword with one hand and said confidently, "I will do my best!"
After the establishment of the Northwind Principality, the construction of the Northguard City did not stop. All kinds of projects were carried out step by step. A few people in black cloaks walked through the crowd. Their attire was not eye-catching in the Northguard City, and many mercenaries and adventurers liked to dress up like this.
As the largest city in the Northern Wastelands, there were many adventurers who went to the Northern Wastelands in search of ancient ruins or rare materials. A small market similar to the black market of Kalent City had gradually formed in Northguard City. It was often used to trade things brought out from ruins or materials found in the Northern Wastelands. Suhlen did not ban this spontaneous market. Instead, he sent a few tax officers to collect taxes.
He didn't care what people were trading, but they had to pay taxes. At first, there were some who did not pay because they were strong, but soon, they were taught a lesson by the powerful military of Northguard City.
These people in black cloaks came to the market. They were very interested in all kinds of things that came out from ruins.
"Have you heard? The Grand Duke is going to build a wizard academy here. "A young man in a black cloak picked up a piece of metal from the stall and said.
Another person in a black cloak nodded and said, "I heard. Are you going to join?"
"I haven't decided yet, but if the pay is good, I will consider joining," the young man said. The young man said. Then he waved the injured metal shard and asked the stall owner, "How much is this metal shard?"
"Ten Kinnar!" The stall owner was an adventurer in his thirties. He was wearing a shabby leather armor and had a scar on his face. He looked a little down, but the light in his eyes showed that he was not as simple as he seemed.
The young man paused for a moment and put the piece of metal back. "Hehe, you can keep it for yourself."
After that, he stood up and walked to another stall. The other person in a black cloak also left.
"With our current strength, we will need a lot of resources to advance. It is almost impossible to rely on ourselves. If we want to advance, we have to join an organization."
"Hehe, of course I know that. But there is a problem. How can you be sure that we will not be used as cannon fodder if we join an organization?" The other person in a black cloak asked.
"We have also studied the Northwind Principality and the personality of the Grand Duke. The probability is very small." The younger man in a black cloak said.
"We've come all the way from the southern sea to here, and we've met quite a few wizard organizations along the way. However, those organizations don't trust foreign wizards. Even if you join them, you won't be treated well. Most of the time, you're just cannon fodder. They trust the wizard apprentices they've cultivated more than people like us."
"Of course, I know that. But you should know that those wizard organizations are all old forces. The most recent one has a history of almost a thousand years. They have enough apprentices and all kinds of people. But Northwind City is different. I have already asked around. There are less than ten wizards in Northwind City. They have no one to use. We do not have to worry about being used as cannon fodder."
"Alright, since you've already made up your mind, let's give it a try. If any of the Grand Dukes can offer decent conditions, I'll join the academy as well." The other Magus thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After hearing his companion's agreement, the black-cloaked wizard was very happy. "Then it is settled. After we are done here, we will go to the wizard tower to sign up."
"Okay!" The other wizard nodded and said, "Northwind City is not bad. The concentration of elements here is much higher than normal places. The northern wasteland has a lot of materials, and the price is much cheaper than the south."
"I heard that the legendary wizard has a botanical garden in his wizard tower. I don't know if it is true or not."
"I think it is true. Have you sensed the garden in the sky in the city? The concentration of elements there is even more shocking. Also, there are a lot of magic plants there. It is said that as long as you can join the magic academy, you will be able to get a small piece of land. You should know that it is a piece of land that can grow magic plants. "
"I really admire that Grand Duke. The cost of building such a garden is shocking, and he is using it as a reward."
"Let's not go to the market today. Let's go sign up now. If we wait any longer, the Sky Garden might have already been divided up!" Another Wizard heard the news. He stopped walking around the market and left with his companions.
