"Lord Adil, you're here."
Seeing Adil's figure from afar, Hukaro smiled and welcomed him.
"You're very early."
Looking at Hukaro, Adil felt a little surprised.
He had always been punctual, and this time, he had arrived two hours early. He had never thought that Hukaro would arrive even faster than him. From the looks of it, it seemed like they had been preparing for a long time already.
"I had no choice; there were many things that I had to prepare, so I had to come early."
Looking at Adil, Hukaro smiled and said, "These guards are all from my family. Even though there are no Magi, there are a few Grand Knights. Before we reach the port, they can help us deal with some problems."
Hearing this, Adil did not say much and only nodded in silence.
Unlike Adil, who was alone, Hukaro was not only a teacher of a Magus organisation, but he was also an important member of a Magus family. The power that he could mobilize far surpassed that of Adil.
Just by looking at the guards that had been temporarily mobilized, one could tell that there were several knights in addition to the two Great Knights. Such a force was enough to occupy a small city in any other place.
"Aaron, Vivian."
After a while, Hukaro called over the two juniors who were going to Mason and had them come over to greet Adil.
In response, Adil maintained a polite smile and nodded to the two acolytes.
The two acolytes were rather weak. The calm-looking young man called Aaron was still alright, and he was at least a level 2 acolyte. The girl called Vivian was much weaker. Even though she was also a level 2 acolyte, the magic energy radiating from her body was too weak. It seemed that she had only broken through not too long ago, and she probably could not even cast a single magic spell.
In Adil's eyes, this sort of strength was not even worth mentioning.
After a while, everything was prepared. Under the lead of a Knight wearing white armour and a blood-red cloak, the carriages slowly set off.
As a respected official Magus, Adil naturally sat together with Hukaro.
The roads in the wilderness were very difficult to traverse. On the carriage, the 2 official Magi conversed and admired each other.
As a well-educated official Sorcerer born in a Sorcerer family, Hukalo's knowledge was undoubtedly abundant. Some of the secret knowledge of the official Sorcerer stage was exactly what Adil lacked.
Adil was equally astonishing. Perhaps in terms of the depth of his knowledge, he was still lacking, but in terms of the breadth of his knowledge, Adil had the absolute advantage with the A.I. Chip. Some of the information regarding bloodlines made Hukaro's eyes light up.
From their conversation, Adil also learned the reason why Aaron and Vivian went to the Mason region.
The Northern Plains and the Mason region had been in contact for a long time, and there was a certain degree of communication between the wizard organizations of the two regions.
As the Magus civilisation in the Mason region was much stronger than in the northern plains, many Magi organisations in the northern plains would choose to send some of their acolytes to Mason to learn.
Aaron and Vivian were the acolytes sent by their families, and they were the top geniuses in their families.
"In fact, among the Magi who have gone to the Mason region in the past few years, official Magi like you, Adil, are rather rare."
Looking at Adil, Hukalo spoke bluntly.
"Oh, why is that?"
Adil was a little curious, "Since the Magi of the Mason region are stronger, the environment there should be more suitable for Magi to grow. There should be quite a number of Magi who want to go there."
"Of course there are quite a number of people who want to go, but just the qualification to board the ship is enough to make it difficult for many."
Hukalo said, "Of course, for official Magi like us, as long as we want to, even if we have to stay on the battlefield for a few years, with the strength of an official Magus, it is not difficult to obtain a certificate.
However, even if they have a certificate, there are not many who have the opportunity to go. They are all tied up by various matters. "
He looked at Adil and smiled as he said, "After all, people like you, Adil, who have not signed any contracts and become official Magi are rare."
Sitting opposite Hukalo, Adil only smiled as he listened to his words, and a trace of understanding flashed in his eyes as he said, "That is true."
After all, there were very few official Magi in this world, and most of them were nurtured by Magus organizations.
However, most of the official Magi who had used this method were bound by contracts.
Take Adil for example. If he had not been taken in as a student by Teacher Edith, who provided him with the resources needed for his advancement, he would have signed a contract with the academy long ago, just to receive the resources that the academy provided for his advancement.
If he signed a contract with the academy, he would have to serve the academy for at least 100 to 200 years, and he would not be as free as he was now.
Wild Magi did not have this restriction, but they lacked a system and resources to advance to official Magi, so their chances of advancing were very low. It was very difficult for them to become official Magi.
"Apart from the contract, it is also because there is not much need for it."
Sitting in front of Adil and feeling the bumpy ride of the carriage, Hukaro seemed to be in a good mood. He continued to explain to Adil, "Although the wizards in Merson are generally stronger than those in the north, there is no absolute difference between them."
For many official Magi who are used to a comfortable life, staying in a familiar place is better than going to an unfamiliar place. "
"You seem to be very familiar with the Mason region."
Adil looked at Hukalo and asked.
"Of course." Hukalo smiled, "When I was still an apprentice, I went to study in the Mason region and only came back when I was about to become an official Magus.
That must have been an unforgettable time. "
A smile also appeared on Adil's face. "How did it feel there?"
"Not too good."
Hukalo shook his head, "The Mason region is not like the north. It is the center of the Magi region. Not only are there human Magi, but there are also many other Magi. From time to time, there will be wars between Magi.
"Furthermore, in that region, the human Magi aren't even the strongest. Elves, Merfolk, Orcs … Every one of them is very powerful. "
"Elves? Are there still elves there?"
Hearing the word "Elves", Adil was stunned for a moment. Then, he pretended to be very interested and asked, "In my hometown, the Elves have completely disappeared. The Orcs are not very strong either. They can even deal with mortal knights."
"The elves there are still around, and they are not as weak as here."
Hukalo patiently explained to Adil, "In our region, the elves' power has been declining for thousands of years, but in the Mason region, the elves' power is very strong, and there are powerful Elven Magi."
"As for the Orcs, they are mainly people with some bloodlines. The ones we see in this region are the most common ones, and their bloodlines are not considered strong among the many branches of the Orcs."
In the narrow carriage, Hukalo was still talking to Adil, telling him about the situation in the Mason region.
This was also part of the agreement.
Adil promised to take care of Hukalo's descendants, and Hukalo told Adil about the situation in the Mason region. It could be considered a very fair deal.
While they were talking, half a month quickly passed.
After half a month, under the escort of two Great Knights, they arrived at a spacious port.
When they arrived, Adil realized that there were already a lot of people waiting here.
Long lines of carriages continuously entered the port from outside, and there was an obscure spirit wave emitting from them. Obviously, there were Magi among them.
Compared to the long lines of carriages outside, Adil's group was not eye-catching.
"We're quite early. There are still three days until the appointed time, so we can rest here for a while."
Hukalo said to Adil as he got off the carriage and looked at the people around him.
"Let's find a hotel to stay in first. I don't want to sleep on the streets."
Adil said as he looked at the empty space around him.
"Don't worry, there's a hotel for us here, and there's delicious food and beautiful girls."
Standing beside Adil, Hukalo smiled and said to him, "The service here is quite good. Adil, you must try it later."
"Sorry, I'm not interested in that."
Adil shook his head and directly refused. He did not want to waste his energy at a time like this.
"That's a pity." Hukalo shrugged, not minding it.
That night, they stayed in this place and waited in Silence for the people who were going to pick them up.
Three days later, in the morning, they walked out of the warm hotel and came to a spacious flat area.
The howling wind blew continuously, causing people to shiver uncontrollably.
Facing the cold wind, no one showed any strange expressions. They did not care about the cold at all.
There were dozens of groups of people standing on the spot. Most of them were in groups like Adil, but there were also a few who were alone and looked very lonely.
There were more than a hundred people present, but it was very quiet. Everyone was looking at the horizon, as if they were waiting for something.
"It's here, it's here!" Suddenly, a loud noise came from the place.
In the distant horizon, a small black dot appeared. It was getting bigger and bigger in everyone's line of sight. The magic power aura coming from it was not hidden at all, and all the wizards on the spot could feel it.
After a while, the black dot came closer, and everyone could clearly see what it looked like.
It was a black ship. The hull of the ship did not look like it was made of metal or wood. Instead, it looked like it was made of a special kind of crystal. It was emitting a strong magic power wave, which people could easily feel.
Looking at the ship floating in the air, a trace of surprise flashed in Adil's eyes. He was suddenly very interested in the ship's structure.
To be able to defy gravity and float in the air, and even move quickly in the air, the technology and knowledge involved should be very complicated.
"It's here."
Looking at the horizon, Hukaro's eyes flashed with nostalgia.
Under everyone's gazes, the airship floating in the air slowly descended and steadily landed on the ground.
After a while, when the airship had completely landed, a few people walked out. They were led by a cold and indifferent looking old red-robed Magus.
"Time is up. Those who board the ship, please take out your credentials for inspection. We will set off in 2 hours."
Looking at the densely packed figures below, the red-robed old acolyte's expression was cold as he spoke to the people below.
He had a head full of messy red hair, and his seemingly old face was filled with wrinkles. Although he was dressed in a red robe, the power he contained was not to be underestimated.
[Unknown forcefield detected … Unable to detect target's body data.] The A.I. Chip's robotic voice sounded in Leylin's mind.
Hearing the A.I. Chip's prompt, Adil's expression turned solemn, "A rank 1 Magus who has undergone a transformation and solidified a defensive spell?"
The A.I. Chip's current ability was unable to pass through the defensive forcefield of an official Magus. For the other party to be able to nullify the A.I. Chip's detection meant that he had solidified a defensive forcefield spell.
From the aura that the other party was emitting, this red-robed old Magus had completely reached the transformation stage, and was definitely not something that an ordinary official Magus could compare to.
The so-called transformation stage referred to a certain stage of an official Magus. As long as one's spiritual force was purified to a certain degree, they would be able to reach this stage, and their strength would be far greater than that of ordinary Magi.
In the Elven Emperor's ruins, the Blood Magus called Mirdo had been at this stage. If not for the fact that he had been in the Elven Emperor's Mausoleum and his spiritual force and magic power had been suppressed by the Elven Emperor's power, allowing Adil to display his strongest physical strength, the other party might not have died at Adil's hands. Even if he was not a match for him, he would at least have been able to escape.
Now that he was in the outside world and his magic power and spiritual force were not suppressed, even Adil would be fearful of facing a Magus who had undergone a transformation.
Of course, if they really fought, with his physical strength that was far greater than that of an official Magus, he might not necessarily lose.
Listening to the other party's words, the acolytes took out their tokens one by one and followed the flow of people to the front.
"Sir Adil, I'll leave my two students to you for the rest of the journey."
Looking at the flow of people in the distance, Hukaro stood beside his two juniors and once again asked Adil for help.
In response, Adil smiled and nodded, then led the two level 2 acolytes forward.
In front of them, the queue had already become very long.
The acolytes held their black tokens, and under the gaze of the red-robed old Magus, they obediently walked forward.
