"How many years has it been?"
In a shabby tavern, a few people were drinking, and one of them muttered to himself.
"I don't know … In any case, it's been many years …"
Beside him, Lerla's voice came on time, and he sounded slightly drunk.
"A total of 50 years … If we include the time it took for the players to descend, it would be 55 years …" Slim raised a glass of fragrant wine and closed his eyes. His face was also a little ruddy.
"It's been 55 years …"
Hearing this answer, Lerla sighed, "I didn't think that time would come to this …"
"When we first descended, I didn't think that we would experience so many things, and even reach this stage."
As he spoke, he raised a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.
"Fifty-five years have passed. Even the tavern where we first met has become like this."
Qi Mu supported his body with his hands and laid on the sofa behind him in Silence. Looking at the changes around the tavern, he sighed.
The tavern in front of him had already existed when the three of them were still players.
At first, it was a small tavern built by a few players to collect information, and also to serve the players.
Due to the limitations of the conditions back then, Qi Mu could still clearly remember the shabby appearance of the tavern. It was completely pieced together by some wooden planks, and it couldn't be any more shabby.
Even the alcohol and food provided inside were mostly purchased from the hunters and farmers in the surrounding area, and then processed again. Although the taste wasn't bad, it couldn't be compared to now.
In more than 50 years, the tavern in front of him had changed a lot.
The original shabby wooden planks had been completely replaced, and the entire tavern had been renovated luxuriously. It didn't look like a tavern, but more like a high-class place that only nobles would enter.
Moreover, due to the development of technology, this place was completely powered by electricity. There were even many magic runes that were used to adjust the environment and render the weather in the surroundings.
After tens of years, the seeds that Adil had personally sown had now borne rich fruits.
Using rational thinking to apply and research the Magi's technology had produced explosive results. Now, the Empire's technology had not only caught up with the technology of the real world, but it had also far surpassed it, achieving achievements in many aspects that were unimaginable in the past.
At the very least, with the development of all kinds of technology, training before becoming an official Sorcerer is no longer too big of a problem.
Even though it was still difficult, as long as one had sufficient wealth, one could purchase enough supplementary products to help one reach the peak of level 3 acolyte as quickly as possible.
Even if one did not have the aptitude, it was not impossible to become a Magus or a Knight in this era.
The study of bloodlines had been greatly developed, and through the research of the various royal bloodlines, the newest bloodline medicines had long since been developed. Even an ordinary person without any aptitude could undergo a metamorphosis and gain aptitude after using this medicine.
However, due to the limitations of technology, the price of this medicine was extremely high, and very few people could afford it.
However, that was only for ordinary people. For these people, no matter how valuable an item was, it wouldn't be a problem.
After all, they were the students of the highest ruler of this world, His Majesty Adil.
After tens of years, Adil had long since changed back to his original name. Even though they were not used to it at first, as time passed, everyone got used to this new name.
Halfway through the conversation, Slim seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Come to think of it, Somme seems to be coming over soon to officially become the dean of Magus Academy Alka."
"Him?" Hearing this name, Lera could not help but stare blankly, and then a strange smile appeared on her face, "The reason why he's coming over to be the dean is still unknown."
"Oh? Is there any inside information? "Hearing this, Chimu and Slim, who were at the side, became interested.
Many years had passed, and the child who had been by Adil's side had grown up.
As the youngest student of Adil, Somme's performance in these years had been very outstanding. Not only did he help Adil overcome many technical problems, but he had also advanced to become a rank 3 Magus more than ten years ago, becoming the first powerful Magus to advance to rank 3 in the entire world.
However, for so many years, Somme had always stayed by Adil's side and had never left for a long time.
Hence, Chimu and the others were very curious about his transfer this time.
"The child will eventually grow up and form his own family."
Lera smiled as she raised a glass of wine.
"Who are you?" Chimu was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted and asked curiously, "Which noble family's young lady are you?"
At the side, Slim did not say anything, but the curiosity in his eyes fully expressed his attitude.
"Not some noble family's young lady, but a commoner genius."
Lera did not keep them in suspense, and directly said with a smile, "You should know that Miss Elisa."
"It's her …" A flash of understanding flashed in Slim's eyes, "The one who advanced to an official Magus at 13 and a rank 2 Magus at 23?"
"Apart from her, who else could it be?" Lera shook her head, "With how focused Somme is on his studies, apart from people like him, who else would he fancy?"
"That's true." At the side, Chimu and Slim both nodded in agreement.
More than 50 years had passed, and now, they were no longer the youths they used to be. Each of them had their own families, and some even had grandchildren. Each of their families was very prosperous.
Their junior brother was still single, and over the years, they had tried to introduce a partner to Somme more than once, but without exception, all of them had failed.
After so many years, they had long since given up on Somme's marriage, which was why they were so surprised when they heard that Somme had someone he liked.
"Everyone has grown up."
Lera raised her glass and shook her head, "Even Somme, who is usually dumb, has found someone he likes now. I reckon that he will be able to invite us to his wedding soon."
"On the other hand, there's still a girl by Teacher's side who hasn't married yet."
"Let's not talk about whether she's willing or not. Even if she's willing, it's another matter whether anyone dares to marry her." At the side, Slim could not help but ridicule, "Who would dare to touch a god at the peak of level-3?"
He was naturally referring to Adil's last student, the girl called Sheena.
Due to the Crimson King's origin blessing, this girl was actually the most powerful among Adil's many students. She had reached the peak of level-3 a few years ago, and in this world, no one was her match except for Adil.
However, perhaps due to the influence of the Crimson King's bloodline, the girl had changed from being quiet to having a fiery temper, giving Lera and the others a headache.
"You don't say."
At the side, Chimu shook his head. "If she's really willing, I'm afraid those nobles will trample over the palace gates."
"She's a peak level-3, and she's Teacher's student. So what if she's a little hot-tempered? Many people will still want to marry her."
At this point, the corners of their mouths could not help but twitch. They did not dare to imagine what it would be like if that little she-devil was married.
However, they were sure that it would be a terrifying scene.
As they chatted, they began to talk about other topics.
"In a few days, after staying in Elka for a while, I'll be going to the Gulan Province in the south to take a look."
Looking at his familiar old friend, Lera said.
"What are you going to do?" Slim, who was beside him, asked straightforwardly.
After thinking for a while, Lera said, "To suppress a group of rebellious royal descendants."
"After so many years, these people still won't give up?" At the side, Chimu put down the wine glass in his hand, as if he had thought of something.
"How can the hatred of a country's destruction be forgotten so easily?" Lera shook his head lightly. "But that's it.
"Most of the descendants of the royal family were recruited and became the current nobles. Those who refused to be recruited have mostly been eliminated over the years. The remaining ones won't be a problem."
"The reason why I came here this time is because I heard that there's a rank 2 priest among the rebellious royal descendants. Moreover, he has a very rare bloodline."
Raising the wine glass in his hand, Lera looked outside the tavern and said softly, "It just so happens that Somme will be coming over in a few days. These royal descendants will be the gifts I prepared for him."
"Didn't he mumble that he didn't have enough royal descendants for his experiments? I'll just catch a batch for him to make up the numbers."
"By doing this, it seems like we're being stingy." At the side, Slim shook his head and slowly stood up while trembling. "That's true … It's rare for me to come over. If I don't prepare some gifts, it won't make sense …"
