Suhlen sighed in his heart. If he was right, this little girl's grandfather had most likely passed away.
Looking at the skinny little girl in front of him, Suhlen said softly, "Where is your home? I'll send you home to meet your grandfather first."
"Okay!"
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said.
Suhlen led the pegasus and followed the little girl into the town. Soon, the two of them came to a low and cramped shack area. The people living here were at the bottom of the wizard market. Many ordinary people were unwilling to leave after coming into contact with wizards. They dreamed of becoming a wizard one day.
Of course, this was not impossible. There were people who were tested to have the potential to be a wizard. In the end, they were accepted as an apprentice by a wizard organization and became a wizard. However, most people only had wishful thinking.
The little girl stopped outside a dilapidated wooden house, and then pushed open the crumbling door. The house was very small, and the light was dim. As soon as Su Lun entered, he smelled a faintly discernible rancid smell.
"Grandpa, Nini is back. She also brought back delicious food. Grandpa, don't sleep. Eat some!" The little girl walked to the bed and shook it twice, but her grandfather did not move.
Suhlen sighed in his heart. He saw very clearly that the old man on the bed had been dead for a long time. There were even many livor mortis spots on his thin body.
"Grandpa, don't ignore Nini. Nini will be obedient …"
"Grandpa, try it. This bread is very fragrant, and this barbecue is delicious. Eat it and you won't be hungry anymore …"
"Grandpa …"
Suhlen walked forward, squatted down and patted the little girl's head. "Nini, your grandpa is asleep. Eat these things yourself!"
"But grandpa hasn't eaten for a few days …" Nini said hesitantly.
"Grandpa is already asleep. He doesn't need these things. Next, we need to find a place for him to sleep." Looking at the confused little girl, Suhlen explained.
Next, Suhlen spent some Kinnar to find a few workers to help the little girl bury her grandpa. Then, he left the alley.
After seeing this, Nini seemed to understand something in her heart and silently followed Suhlen. After arranging the funeral of Nini's grandpa, Suhlen came to a rented house under her lead. There was still some time before the trade fair, so he needed to stay here for a while.
Suhlen rented a separate house, which was specially prepared for wizards. Not only did it have all kinds of living facilities, but it also had an independent laboratory for experiments.
After everything was done, Suhlen thought and asked. "Nini, have you tested for aptitude?"
"Testing for aptitude …" The little girl shook shook her head and said shyly.
"Then I'll test for you!" Su Lun smiled and took out a crystal ball from his storage space that was used to test the aptitude of a Magus.
"Put your hand on it and focus!"
The little girl hesitated for a moment, then shyly put her hand on the crystal ball under Suhlen's encouraging gaze.
"Close your eyes and focus!" Suhlen said with a smile.
After seeing Suhlen's smile, the little girl nodded and closed her eyes. After about half a minute, there was no reaction from the crystal ball. Just when Suhlen thought that the little girl did not have the aptitude to become a wizard, a light slowly lit up from the crystal ball.
Then, the light became brighter and brighter, until it lit up the entire room. In this light, there were some blue, red, and green lights. After a while, these lights gradually disappeared.
"It's done!"
Suhlen said with a smile. The little girl looked at Suhlen in confusion.
"She's a fifth-grade aptitude!"
Suhlen looked at Nini with a face full of surprise. The fifth-grade aptitude was the classification of the aptitude of wizards. The fifth-grade aptitude was the highest, and the first-grade aptitude was the lowest. Because Suhlen had the system, when he tested himself, he was a fifth-grade aptitude. However, this did not mean that there were many fifth-grade aptitudes.
Among the more than a thousand apprentices in the Northern Wind Academy, most of them were third-grade aptitudes. There were only two fourth-grade aptitudes in the entire academy, and not a single one was fifth-grade.
In the Northern Wind Tower, only Hathaway and Suhlen had fifth-grade aptitudes. The other one was Alex. However, she was a divine creature. After fusing with her divinity, her aptitude was not inferior to a fifth-grade aptitude, or even stronger.
He did not expect that after a long trip, he would suddenly show some kindness and take in a little girl with fifth-grade aptitude.
The aptitude of a wizard was very important in the early stages. A fifth-grade aptitude could meditate and advance quickly. As long as there were no problems, becoming a fourth-grade wizard was not a problem. It was much better than those first-grade or second-grade apprentices. Many apprentices who only had first-grade or second-grade aptitudes could not even touch the threshold of a high-grade wizard in their entire lives.
As for becoming a legendary wizard, it was not a matter of aptitude. There was also a little bit of luck. After becoming a legendary wizard, aptitude was no longer important. At this time, aptitude was more important.
In other words, as long as one had fifth-grade aptitude, as long as they continued to practice, they would definitely become a high-grade wizard.
The little girl looked at Suhlen with a nervous expression. As someone who lived in the wizard market, she naturally knew about the aptitude test. After seeing that the test was over, she looked at Suhlen with a nervous expression.
Suhlen smiled and squatted down to the same height as her. Then he said, "Nini, what is your name?"
"My name is Nini!" The little girl looked at Suhlen with a strange expression.
"Eh!" Suhlen smiled and pinched her little face. "Nini is a nickname. You still need a formal name."
"A formal name?" The little girl tilted her head and looked at Suhlen. Then she shook her head.
"Then I'll give you one," Suhlen said with a smile.
"Okay!"
"How about Vinia? Her nickname is Nini! "Suhlen said.
"Vinia, I'll be called Vinia from now on!" Nini said happily. She was obviously very satisfied with this name.
After adopting Vinia, it could be said that from today onwards, her fate would be completely different. If she did not meet Suhlen, the little girl would very likely have died in some corner of this wizard market. Even if she had fifth-grade aptitude, if no one knew, there would be no change.
Suhlen planned to send the little girl to the Northern Wind Academy to study. She was still young and could slowly build her foundation. With the guidance of so many wizards, as long as there were no accidents, she would definitely become a legendary wizard.
