Mara waved his hand and dispelled the spells he cast on them. His face was filled with joy.
Even when Leon asked him what a supernatural was, Mara did not get angry. Instead, he happily explained the wizarding world to Leon.
"The Binding Spell and Silencing Barrier I used on you are a type of beginner spells.
"Witchcraft is a mysterious system created by combining one's talent and knowledge. Those who master witchcraft are called … wizards. "
When Mara said the word "wizard", Angor suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart. It was as if there was an invisible force pushing him to an unknown place.
That place was called "truth". It was the belief that wizards pursued their whole lives.
Once this feeling arose, it would not go away easily.
Angor did not know why he suddenly wanted to explore this place. Was it the teaching of his teacher for more than ten years? Was it a spur of the moment or a whim?
Angor did not know, but he did not suppress the desire in his heart. Instead, he folded the idea and put it into his mind box, waiting for the day when it would be opened.
Perhaps Mara was truly overjoyed. He saw that everyone around him was full of curiosity and admiration. Moreover, his two grandsons were about to become apprentice adepts. He decided to stop hiding and start talking about the culture and system of the World of Adepts to everyone.
Wizard was just a general term for these talents. However, not every talent could become a wizard.
Even Mara himself could not be called a wizard yet. He could only be called an apprentice.
If one analyzed the data of all wizards, 99% of them were apprentices. Only less than 1% of talents could successfully break the barrier and become wizards who pursued truth and self-worth.
From this simple and crude data, one could see how difficult the path of an Adept was.
During Mara's explanation, he also mentioned the place where they were now — the Old Earth.
The name "Old Earth" was basically a joke to the wizards of the Fey Continent. Only wizards who were born there would call it "Old Earth". Other wizards had a different name for it, which was "Marginalized Island".
The Old Earth was so big for people who lived there that they would not be able to travel to the end of it in their lifetime. However, to the adepts who had their eyes on tens of thousands of planes, this island could only be considered a 'sizeable' island.
As for why it was called the Marginalized Island, it wasn't because it was located at the edge of the island. It was because there were very few active elementium in the air here. Elementium adepts would have to expend more energy to absorb inert elementium to fight here.
That was why the Elemental Sorcerers called it the Dead Land. All the Extraordinaries who used to live on this island had left. That was why it was called the Marginalized Island.
Of course, there were only a few wizards who specialized in elemental magic, so there was no need for all of them to leave the Marginalized Island. However, for an adept, no matter what system they practiced, they would more or less know some elementium spells. Therefore, there was no need to stay on the Marginalized Island when there was a better continent to rest on.
The word 'fringe' referred to a place that was marginalized by the Magi.
"I'm here to bring Alan and Aleen back to the White Coral Floating Island Academy on the Fey Continent. I didn't think I'd get the chance to become a high-rank apprentice on the way. It's all thanks to Viscount Padt." Mo Luo stroked his white beard with a smile on his face. "Before you leave, Viscount Padt, if you have any troubles, feel free to share them with me. It's hard to find anything I can't do on the Old Earth. "
Mara's words were obviously to repay the favor of the Morning Dew. It could also be interpreted as "drawing a line between them earlier."
Leon was still immersed in the beauty of the Magi World. He didn't realize what was going on until Count Eton spoke.
"I heard that you're going to Waterford next month to officially complete the viscount inheritance ceremony. The Padt Family has been guarding the defense line on the coast and providing supplies to the vanguard. They've made a great contribution to the fight against the knights of Heylan. If the king knows about this, I'm sure you won't have to go to Waterford anymore."
Of course, he wouldn't have to go to Waterford anymore. As long as the Morn Family gave the word, he could even become a hereditary count, let alone a hereditary viscount!
It was supposed to be Mara's personal favor. Now that Eton mentioned it, he was trying to remove Mara's intention of returning the favor. If Leon agreed with Eaton's words, then Mara's debt to him would naturally be written off.
Leon was young, but he wasn't stupid. No matter how powerful the Morn Family was, it was still a mortal family in Goldspink Empire. Mara was all alone, but there was a whole new world behind him.
Leon naturally wouldn't accept Eton's suggestion.
Leon considered for a moment and was about to say something when Angor nudged him with his leg under the table. He turned around and saw Angor looking like he wanted to say something but stopped on second thought.
Leon understood. He spoke to Mara, "The Morning Dew belongs to my younger brother. Let Angor decide for himself."
Eton raised an eyebrow and gave Leon a thoughtful look. People always said that the two brothers of the Padt Family didn't get along well. So it was just a rumor. Leon was willing to give such a great opportunity to Angor, which showed how much Leon loved his younger brother.
Since Leon already made his decision, Eton didn't say anything else.
Everyone was no longer looking at Leon. Instead, they all looked at Angor, who had been silent all this time.
Angor didn't show any signs of fear despite being stared at by five pairs of eyes. His noble demeanor was on full display. Plus, his teacher taught him how to be a gentleman in another world. Angor's expression was calm, and even his gaze was gentle.
"Speaking of troubles, I don't know what my brother's problem is. But I … I have two. One is bigger, and it's been bothering me for a long time. The other is smaller, and it just came to me, so it can be ignored. " Angor looked at Mara. "If Mister Mara can help me solve my bigger problem, I don't mind talking about the smaller one."
"Why don't you tell me what's bothering you?" Mara asked.
Mara was actually quite happy when Leon gave Angor the right to speak. What kind of trouble could a young man who grew up in a greenhouse have? It was nothing more than being afraid to confess his love to a lady from a certain family. Mara thought it was a big trouble, but others thought it was unnecessary.
Leon sighed in his mind. He already knew what Angor was going to say when he heard Angor's words. It seemed Angor was going to use the favor on Jon.
As expected, Angor went straight to the point. "The big trouble is about my teacher, Jon. My father took him in twenty years ago, and he's been teaching me knowledge ever since. But lately, he's been getting worse and worse …"
