Two or so months later.
As the scenery passed by, Adil stood on the deck and looked into the distance in Silence.
Behind him, a group of Acolytes stood in Silence, gathered together.
Compared to when Adil had first boarded, there were now many more people on the ship.
During these two months, the ship had stopped at more than 10 places, and each place had seven or eight Acolytes, while the smallest had three or four. They had all been brought onto the ship, filling up the number of Acolytes on the ship.
However, just as Andrew had said, among the acolytes who boarded the ship later, there were very few with excellent aptitude. Out of more than a hundred people, there was only one acolyte with third-grade aptitude. In the end, he was arranged to be around Adil and the others.
"This is the last place. After we pass this place, we'll reach our destination in a few days."
Andrew, who was standing beside Adil, held a glass of fruit wine in his hand and said excitedly.
"That's right, it's almost over," Adil sighed and did not say anything else.
The scene was quite silent until a voice sounded out.
"Adil, after we get there, which academy are you going to join?"
A woman's voice rang in his ears. It sounded like a standard greeting, but it sounded a little stiff.
Adil looked to the side and saw Ciesti standing to his right, looking at him in Silence.
The red-haired girl was wearing a conservative red and white robe, and her expression was quite cold and stiff.
At that moment, Adil felt his left hand being patted by someone.
On his left, Andrew forced a bright smile at him. There was something in it that seemed to be instigating something.
"I'm not too sure. Is there a reason?"
Looking at the two people beside him, Adil had a gentle smile on his face as he shook his head.
Seeing this, Ciesti gave a stiff smile, "Of course there is.
"The destination we're heading to now is a place where wizards are active. There are many schools and academies that recruit apprentices regularly."
"With your aptitude, Adil, I believe many academies will be willing to accept you there."
Hearing this, Adil felt a little strange. "Joining the Sorcerer Sect only requires one's own aptitude? Are there no other conditions? "
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the two people around him looking at him with astonished eyes.
"Of course not. For people with ordinary qualifications, if they want to join those Sorcerer Academies, apart from having sufficient qualifications, they also need to pay tuition fees." Andrew stood to the side and said, "But for someone like Adil, it's not difficult to enter those academies. There are many academies that are willing to accept you for free."
"Of course, in addition to these normal methods, it is said that there is another way."
Ciesti made an excuse, "Some powerful wizards will create some unique enchanted items as proof and give them to certain people."
"If you can obtain these proofs, then you can directly enter the corresponding Sorcerer's sect, and even get some gifts from them."
"According to the records, wizards who can leave behind proof are at least at the level of an official Sorcerer. Directly entering the sect of such a powerful Sorcerer is already a good starting point for others. "
Hearing this, Adil subconsciously touched his chest, thinking of the black amulet that Earl Polia had given him.
According to Earl Polia, the amulet was a magic artifact made by a Sorcerer, originating from the ancestor of the Farcus family. It was undoubtedly a proof.
Adil originally thought that this kind of proof was not too rare, but now it seemed that he had underestimated its value. Otherwise, even Andrew and Ciesti would not have sounded envious.
His face did not change as he stood there and continued to chat with them word by word, slowly understanding some information about the Sorcerer Continent.
On the Sorcerer Continent, the competition between Sorcerers was also very fierce. Various Sorcerers would have differences and disputes according to the different schools and academies, and it was far more intense than in other places.
According to the different forms of organizations, apart from the gathering of Sorcerer families, it could be roughly divided into wandering Sorcerers, schools, academies, and so on.
Wandering Sorcerers referred to mortals who had undoubtedly obtained a bit of Sorcerer inheritance. There were also some Sorcerers who, for various reasons, were alone outside. Often because of the lack of inheritance and resources, their strength was generally weaker.
Schools were often Sorcerers who gathered together because of the same ideals, often through master-disciple inheritance. Their strength varied, with some strong and some weak, but generally there were not many of them, and they did not recruit a large number of apprentices.
Academies, on the other hand, were the real main force, often developed from a single school or Sorcerer family. They gathered a large number of Sorcerers and were the main force that recruited a large number of apprentices.
Apprentices like Andrew and Ciesti could often enter these Sorcerer academies.
However, apprentices who joined in this way were often taught by some high-level Sorcerer apprentices at the beginning, and there was no special mentor to take care of them.
Unless they advanced to high-level apprentice before a certain age, a mentor would take a fancy to them and be responsible for teaching them. Otherwise, they could only listen to official Sorcerers' lectures at their own expense. Not only did every step of learning require a lot of energy and money, but they also had to think of their own way to get the resources needed to advance.
It was better for people like Andrew and Ciesti, who were born in Sorcerer families, at least they had the family behind them to provide help. As for those apprentices who were born as commoners, even if they had enough talent and luck, they could barely become high-level apprentices, and there was no way they could gather the resources to advance.
If they were like Adil and had the corresponding proof in hand, the situation would be different.
They could enter the tutelage of an official Sorcerer at the very beginning and learn under a mentor who was at least an official Sorcerer. From their starting point, there would be a huge gap between them and others.
Thinking of this, Adil could not help but sigh, deeply understanding the importance of Earl Boria's gift.
"I'm afraid that in the entire Farcus family, this is the only proof I have left."
This thought flashed through Adil's mind as he stood in place.
Although Duke Ariel had told him many things about Sorcerers, he had not mentioned anything about the proof.
From the looks of it, this certificate should have been hidden by Count Boria's branch for the sake of their descendants. They were only waiting for a talented junior to appear in the future and give this proof to him so that he would have a greater chance of rising.
Adil reckoned that this proof should have been given to a direct descendant of Earl Boria. It was just that there were too few people in the Farcus family with Sorcerer aptitude in recent years. The only one who had appeared was Earl Boria's eldest son, and it was said that his aptitude as a Sorcerer was not very good. In the end, it had been given to Adil at the last moment.
