Mia left the house with Lulu, and the two girls climbed up two large haystacks at the entrance of the town. Lulu looked in the direction where Captain Aegis had left and murmured, "That was the Lord Sorcerer, right? What a majestic man! I didn't even dare to breathe in front of him … "
Mia did not respond. Instead, she furrowed her brows slightly, as if she was thinking about something.
"What's wrong?" Lulu quickly moved her face closer and rubbed it against Mia's cheek.
"N-nothing …" Mia quickly recovered and explained, "I just saw dad's face, and I'm a little sad …"
Of course, that was not what she was thinking. She had seen illusions of that level before, so of course she could tell that it was a lie. However, she could not tell her new best friend what she was thinking, so she told a small lie.
"Is that so?" Lulu could not help but recall the face that Baiyi had used to disguise himself. At the time, she was also shocked, but now that she thought about it, her heart was filled with sympathy. She quickly hugged Mia's slender shoulders and said earnestly, "It's okay.
It's all in the past now, isn't it? Your dad is very gentle and kind. The reason he wore armor was because he didn't want to scare people, right? A good man like him, even if his face was ugly, would still be loved by everyone. "
"Also, Mia, you're so beautiful. Your dad must have been very handsome in the past, right?"
Mia listened to Lulu's lame consolation, and her expression turned awkward. 'Mr. Hope's appearance in the past? Probably not as good looking as this armor, right? Especially the expressions formed by the three lines on his face. Just thinking about it made Mia want to laugh.
"Oh, right! We have some burn plasters at home. I'll go look for them now. Maybe they'll work! " With that, the enthusiastic Lulu grabbed Mia's hand and jumped down from the haystack, rushing home. Their family made a living by selling herbs and making simple potions, so they were considered to be in the early stages of alchemy.
After a while, Mia came home alone, carrying a few jars of ointment for burns.
"You didn't go out today?" Baiyi, who was sitting at the dining table, seemed to be calculating something. He raised his head and glanced at her. Noticing the thing in her hand, he asked, "What local specialty is this?"
"I think it's for treating burns …" Mia replied, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Tsk … Now that you mention it, I'm reminded of how Lulu met your Royal Gramps. I think it was because of this …" Baiyi said as he used his mana to take a porcelain jar from Mia's hand. He waved it in the air and said, "She provided this to the army, and it healed the burns of many soldiers. That's how your Royal Gramps found out about her. But that's probably something that happened much later. Come to think of it, this burn medicine is a lost recipe. Take one back and see if you can recreate it."
As Mia listened to Baiyi's story, she did not show much interest. Instead, she hummed in a low voice, "Mmm …"
"What happened?" Baiyi asked cautiously. Every time Mia started her sentence with a "Mmm", she was either acting cute or acting coquettishly. Why is she acting cute all of a sudden?
"Xi … Daddy, are we really not going to see Grandpa Emperor? He must have sensed your presence, right? "Mia finally mustered up the courage to ask the question that had been bothering her for a long time.
"Huh?" Baiyi's curiosity was piqued. He had not mentioned the Book of Servitude to her, so how did she know?
"Daddy, you fought yesterday, didn't you? You even tried to cast a forbidden spell. I could feel it. That captain was looking for you, wasn't he? Did you … get yourself into trouble? "Mia asked worriedly.
That was what she was really worried about. She was afraid that her Mr. Hope would be put on a wanted list. With his terrifying strength, normal people would not be able to do anything to him. If that happened, he would have to make an enemy out of her beloved Grandpa King. Although Grandpa King King did not know her yet, she did not want to see an internal conflict between such important people.
"Oh, you're worried about that? It's just a small misunderstanding. I think it's already resolved, "Baiyi said nonchalantly. Baiyi said nonchalantly. He did not know that the Emperor, who could not use the Book of Servitude, was in a state of anxiety.
"Is that so?" Mia breathed a sigh of relief. "But are we really not going to see Grandpa Emperor? I know you mentioned the butterfly thing, but I don't think we're going to cause a storm, right? After all, it's just a metaphor or a concept. It's not an objective law, right? "
As she spoke, she walked to the table and sat down. She rested her head on the table and looked at Baiyi, her big eyes blinking in anticipation.
"You have a point, don't you think? The butterfly effect is impossible to prove or disprove, and we won't know how our actions will affect the future unless we try, "Baiyi rambled on. Deep down, Baiyi wanted to meet his young teacher. After all, the research on time travel was progressing at a snail's pace, and it would be too slow if he were to rely on himself. It was not a good idea to waste his time here. Baiyi really wanted to have a discussion with his teacher, and it would be best if he could form a complete team of researchers to tackle the problem.
Furthermore, his subsequent actions were also a kind of experiment to a certain extent. Through his interference with history, he would be able to compare the changes in the course of history after he returned. This was definitely a very tempting experimental project. It would allow him to have a deeper understanding of the rules related to time … Thinking about it, it was quite tempting, right?
However, this was too bold and risky, so Baiyi did not dare to make a decision.
"Speaking of which, your Royal Grandfather might not be the one you know," Baiyi suddenly said. "He might not be as easy to talk to as you think he is."
"But I think, since we're both Royal Grandfathers, it should be the same, right? Someone like him won't change easily, right? "Mia retorted.
"Don't say that. He really did change," Baiyi said helplessly. After all, one was an all-powerful Emperor, and the other was an old clown.
"Let me think about it," Baiyi said, and then he fell into deep thought.
After a week of thinking, he still could not come up with any useful conclusions. 'Should I get in touch with the Archmage? How should I get in touch with him? How could he minimize the butterfly effect that might be caused? That was a very troublesome problem. '
However, ever since he had fooled Captain Aegis, no one suspected him anymore. He had heard from the townspeople that the Empire was conducting a large-scale search at the border, and that a few wanted criminals had been apprehended. However, no one came looking for him again.
The townspeople, on the other hand, often came to visit him, bringing along their harvest from the fields or snacks they made themselves. They wanted to maintain a good relationship with the mysterious Mr. Apprentice.
Many people came to ask if they, or their sons or daughters, had the talent to become a sorcerer. Baiyi patiently explained again and again, "The gates of magic are open to everyone. Anyone can embark on the path of magic, as long as you have enough patience and perseverance."
In fact, the Rohlserlian Empire had never banned the teaching of magic to the public. There were many academies, and famous sorcerers often gave public lectures and recruited apprentices. There were also no patent restrictions. The whole academic atmosphere was even more open-minded than the later generations. However, the standards for sorcerers were too high, which led to the scarcity of sorcerers.
At that moment, there was a pair of parents sitting in front of him with their son. They were anxious and hesitant, and they said, "But … My son has been stupid since he was young. He can't compare to the kid next door at all. Even so, does he have any hope of becoming a sorcerer?"
"Of course, as long as he is willing to pursue it."
"Is that so? But the kid next door … I heard that his results in the academy are not that good, and the annual expenses are scary … "The couple continued.
In fact, the tuition fees were not that high these days. However, for a small border town with low productivity and little trade, it was still a big burden.
Perhaps this was a side effect of the Rohlserlians' morbid pride? There was almost no international trade, so there were not many business opportunities and sources of income in this border town.
The couple grumbled about their family's difficulties during the long holidays, but in the end, they could not come to a decision, so they left. Baiyi looked at the pile of corn on the table and thought, 'This is probably the consultation fee.'
The days passed in peace and quiet. Mia had run around the town once, and soon, she felt bored. She wanted to explore more places to see.
"Lulu and her family are going to the nearest city to sell medicine in a few days. Shall we go together?" The little girl begged, but before she could act coquettishly, Baiyi nodded without hesitation.
"Let's explore other places," Baiyi said. Baiyi said as he picked up a few pieces of paper from the pile on the table and burned the rest to ashes.
It was obvious that he had not made any progress in his research, so it was time for him to explore and find inspiration.
Just like that, Lulu's family and Baiyi's family boarded a carriage that would take them to the nearest city. It was as if they were on an outing, and they slowly made their way to the nearest city, Highland City.
