Angor brought Mara to the stilted building where Mara was staying.
"My professor is resting. Mister Mara, please allow me to go in and inform him."
Mara nodded, and Angor went up to the second floor first.
"This house is very unique. I didn't expect to see something like this on the Old Earth," Mara praised the structure of the stilted building. He had seen many strange buildings on the Fey Continent. The stilted building was unique, but it was still a mortal building. The main reason for his praise was because the builder of the stilt house was a mortal.
Although Mara did not care about the stilt house, Allan and Aleen could not hold back their curiosity. They walked around the house, and even stood near the vine rack in the yard in the rain to observe the fruits and vegetables planted by Jon.
The brother and sister were still teenagers. Even if they pretended to be mature, their actions still contained a hint of naivety. Such pure childishness made everyone smile. Leon saw that the two were interested in the grape rack, so he had an idea. He took out two bottles of red wine that had been sealed for two years from the cellar and filled everyone's glasses.
The wine was mellow, and the aroma was pleasant. As drinking buddies, Leon and Eaton began to talk about the frontline. Eaton also wanted to break the awkwardness of silence, so they quickly agreed and relaxed the atmosphere.
On the other hand, Angor went upstairs. He woke up the mute servant and helped his professor change his clothes. Then, he asked the servant to leave and told his professor why he came.
Jon was woken up in the middle of the night. He was still in a daze until he heard the word "wizard".
"Wizard? You met a wizard? "Jon grabbed Angor's sleeve with his withered hand and exclaimed in disbelief.
"Yes. A level-3 apprentice to be exact. That's what Mara called himself. "
Jon's eyes flashed with confusion and curiosity. Then, he realized something and repeated, "I see. I see. That makes sense. Wizard! Wizard! I studied physics data for years, and many formulas could not be used. So this is the source … I was wrong from the start. This world is not normal at all. It has supernatural power! "
"Hahahaha! I always thought my vision was better than the natives here. But now I'm trapped in my own world. Is this a trap of one's own making? "Chown looked out of the window in a daze as he shouted loudly.
His shout was filled with strong emotions, unwillingness, and regret.
Even the people on the first floor heard it. Mara listened carefully to the self-deprecating words and couldn't help but be confused. "Eh? What language are they speaking? Not the common language? "
Angor did not tell Mara everything about Jon. he did not mention Jon's origin or that he planted the Morning Dew. So Mara always thought that Jon was from the empire.
"This is the language of old Jon's hometown. what is it called … Huaxia? I'm not too sure about the specifics. "Leon was also puzzled.
Huaxia? Mo Luo thought for a moment, but he did not have any impression of this country. It should be a small country in the middle of nowhere, right? Mara considered and decided not to pay attention to the details. He was curious about the emotion behind the shout, but as an apprentice, there were too many things he was curious about. He did not want to waste his precious time on the affairs of ordinary people.
Besides, he just became an advanced apprentice. He just wanted to solve Angor's problem as soon as possible, leave the Old Earth, and go back to the academy to study. Nothing else was more important than his own strength.
With that in mind, Mara closed his eyes and began to meditate.
…
A while later, Angor brought Jon downstairs with a calm look on his face.
Jon did not ask for help. Before his legs withered, he designed a wheelchair himself. With some springs, he could go up and down the stairs easily.
Mara learned from Leon that Jon designed the wheelchair himself. He could not help but exclaim in his mind. "He's very talented in mechanics. If he is talented enough, he might become a great alchemist. Unfortunately … even if he had the talent, he was still too old.
Mara's first impression of Jon was the word 'old'.
He himself was almost eighty years old. Since he did not become a wizard yet, he could only let time change his appearance. However, he also took care of his body and looked like he was in his sixties at most.
As for Jon, if Angor did not tell him that Jon was only in his fifties, Mara would think the man was at least a hundred years old.
"Is it a disease of the body or a failing blood vessel? Or is someone cursed to speed up the erosion of time? "
The "big problem" Angor mentioned was that he hoped Mara could cure Jon. So Mara began to think about Jon's condition.
When Jon came closer, Mara frowned. A strange sense of dissonance emanated from Jon.
It was the same feeling Mara felt when he saw those otherworldly slaves captured by wizards at the Scarlet Auction. They did not belong in this world.
Could this person be a guest from another plane? Mara frowned.
But that did not seem to be the case either. Mara remembered reading "The Pros and Cons of Planar Expeditions" written by Barzel the Great Twisted Wizard in the library. The book clearly stated that there were intelligent creatures in other planes, but humans like them had never been discovered.
Of course, there were many humanoid creatures: those with three eyes, those with fish scales behind their ears, those that were as small as palms, and those with wings on their backs. Although these creatures had the appearance of humans, they were generally referred to as humanoids.
"Is this a Humanoid from another plane?" Mara wondered in his mind, but he still maintained a kind look on his face.
If Jon was really a creature from another plane, he could get at least ten magic crystals if he sold him to a wizard. Mara worked hard for so many years, but he only had less than a hundred magic crystals in his storage.
Mara's eyebrows curved into slits as he thought about this.
When Jon sat down, Mara cleared his throat and said, "I'll use an Epidemic Detection on you first. As long as you find the right direction, you should be able to cure him."
Mara did not wait for their response. He summoned his crystal ball and chanted something.
After a while, faint green halos floated out of the crystal ball and slowly enveloped Chown's body.
Chown was shocked by the abnormality of the Transcendent. Under the comfort of the green halo, he slowly calmed down, and his face gradually became rosy. Finally, he silently closed his eyes and entered a state of deep sleep.
Everyone was amazed by Mara's method. They only thought that Mara was casting a spell to cure Jon. What they didn't know was that the spell Mara had just cast was not the level-1 spell Detect Plague, but a level-2 spell that could only be cast by a level-2 apprentice sorcerer, Dispel Deceitful Barrier.
Dispel Deceit was a support cantrip that could see through illusions or deceit. Although on the surface, it was a trick to break illusions, witchcraft itself could not be defined with just one sentence. For example, the grease spell was used to stop people from moving forward, but with a little modification, it could also be used to ignite the fire. All spells had infinite possibilities. When wizards pursued the truth, it was a process of turning infinite possibilities into infinite absolutes. Dispel Deceit was the same. With a little modification, such as changing the target of the spell to someone else, Dispel Deceit would have a different effect. For example, it could identify the target's race.
However, this was only possible if the target actively cooperated with the caster. Once the target showed signs of resistance, the cantrip would fail. Jon would not refuse Mara's request since he was using the excuse of healing Jon.
The green halo lasted for half a minute. It covered Jon's head at first, then slowly moved down to his feet as if it was scanning him. When everything was done, the halo was pulled back into the crystal ball.
Mara's eyes flashed. He quietly sent his spirit power into the crystal ball to check the result of Dispel Deceit.
"A human? A 100% pure human?! "
Looking at this answer, Mo Luo felt reassured that this was indeed the case. However, he vaguely felt that his intuition was correct. Mara could not come up with a conclusion after thinking for a while. In the end, he decided to trust the result. As long as Jon was a human, he was one of them. There was no need to worry too much.
Now that Jon was not a creature from another plane, Mara decided to fulfill his promise.
He waved the crystal ball again and quietly used his mana to construct a new cantrip model. This time, the model he created was the real Epidemic Detection.
