This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 113 Times have changed
"Lord Lucian, just go ahead and you will reach the Principality of Black Marsh." Gagarin said loudly in front of the carriage.

"Okay, I understand." Lucian opened his eyes and looked at Carly, who seemed to be a little homesick. "Carly, your hometown is the Principality of Black Marsh..."

"Black Rock Ridge of the Black Swamp Principality, which is the territory of Earl Black Rock." Carly said in a low voice, but now she had calmed down, and the expectation in her eyes was much less.

"You're returning to your hometown, but I don't see you're looking forward to it." Lucian looked at Carly and felt a little strange.

"No... The main reason is that after coming here, I don't know who to meet. After all, my parents died a long time ago..."

Carly said this in a low voice, and at the same time, she cast a spell. Under the effect of the spell, her body began to transform from a fairy body to a human body again. Not long after, a few freckles appeared on Carly's face, and she turned back into her original human appearance.

Lucian looked at Carly, who was a little depressed at the moment, and patted her shoulder gently. "Since we are here, let's say goodbye to the past."

"Yeah." Carly nodded heavily.

"Gagarin, let's take a detour and go to Blackrock Ridge." Lucian ordered.

"Yes, Lord Lucian." Gagarin raised the whip, but in his heart he was a little envious of the harmonious teacher-student relationship between Carly and Lucian.

If it were any other mentor, allowing students to return to their hometown on their own would already be very tolerant, but now Lucian is actually willing to take a detour just for Carly to visit her hometown?
Carly looked out the window silently, but her feet began to swing slightly unconsciously.

"Stop shaking. Have you finished the homework I assigned to you?" Lucian was also a little distracted by Carly's constantly shaking feet. He glanced at Carly, whose mood seemed to become inexplicably excited, and felt that it was time to pour cold water on her again.

“It’s still a little bit short, but I have an idea now.” However, what surprised Lucian was that Carly’s answer was full of confidence, as if she had a firm grasp of the improved potion formula.

“Then I’ll wait and see.” Lucian nodded slightly. He had originally wanted to teach Carly the formula of [Stamina Potion - Large] directly, but now if Carly had any ideas, it wouldn’t be a bad thing to let her think about it herself.

“Master Lucian, just watch.” Carly raised her little head, her eyes full of confidence.

Previously, she tried to prepare the medicine by fermenting the blood fruit. Although the characteristics of the fermented blood fruit seemed to have changed and caused some flaws in the original preparation method, the effect of the medicine prepared in this way was slightly improved compared to the original version.

Carly believed that as long as she could improve the preparation process for the fermented blood fruit, the final product of the medicine would definitely surpass the original physical strength potion.

“Okay, if you can really do it, I have a reward here.” Lucian encouraged with a smile.

Carly's eyes grew brighter.

……

Blackrock Ridge is located in the southeast of the Duchy of Blackswamp and is a relatively barren earldom.

This place is famous for producing a kind of stone called "black stone". Because of the mining of black stone, the vegetation on some hilltops here has been cut down and turned into dark open-pit mines.

Due to the barren land and the location on the border of the Black Swamp Principality, Black Rock Ridge rarely sees travelers from outside the territory. However, today, two unusually gorgeous carriages drove into Black Rock City, which immediately attracted the attention of many residents.

"What a huge carriage! It feels even bigger than the Earl's carriage..."

"What's that carriage? Look at the two horses pulling the carriage. Do you see the small bumps on their heads? They are wildebeests, developed by great wizards. They are top-quality horses with the blood of legendary magical beasts. The value of a wildebeest alone is at least three thousand gold crowns..."

Gagarin, who was driving the car, listened to the discussion of these ignorant subjects with a cold expression, but felt a little amused in his heart.

Gold crowns?
It's just the currency used by mortals. You have to know that when Lucian bought these two carriages, he paid with magic stones, which cannot be measured by the currency used by mortals.

"You just crushed one of our chickens. Call your owner out. I want him to compensate you!" Just as Gagarin closed his eyes and was thinking about a witchcraft model in his mind, a sharp voice rang out. He opened his eyes and saw a woman with a rather fierce look who was pinching her waist and stopping the carriage with greed in her eyes.

Gagarin narrowed his eyes, but when he looked at Lucian who was meditating with his eyes closed behind him, he did not attack directly, but shouted coldly, "Get lost."

But the woman just fell to the ground, rolling around, "I bumped into someone! I bumped into someone!"

hula la...

As she shouted, two patrol security teams quickly ran out from the alleys on both sides and surrounded the two carriages. The captain in the lead had an unconcealable greed in his eyes.

"You are disturbing public order. Arrest them all and detain them..."

“What’s going on?” Lucian opened his eyes when he heard the commotion outside.

"Master Lucian..." Gagarin explained in a low voice.

"Let's deal with it." Lucian sighed in his heart, realizing that the two carriages and horses he bought had caused trouble. "Yes, Lord Lucian." Gagarin narrowed his eyes and looked at the captain who was holding a ceremonial sword and had come close to the carriage to look at the "trophy". He directly stretched out his left hand.

call--

A small flame appeared, and then floated down onto the rat-looking team leader, instantly setting him on fire.

"Ahhh..." The captain wailed. Under Gagarin's intentional control, the flames were not particularly fierce, but rather "slowly roasted", so that although the captain felt extremely painful, he would not die for a while.

"Wizard! A great wizard!" The other patrol members and residents looked at Gagarin with awe. They even took the initiative to distance themselves from the team leader, fearing that if they got close they would attract the wizard's wrath.

"Wayne, and you, Klesi, kill them quickly, otherwise my brother-in-law..." At this time, the captain kept rolling on the ground, but the fire could not be extinguished.

"Sir, please spare me! Sir, please spare me!" The woman who had stopped the carriage before looked at the miserable scene of the captain. Her legs were shaking. She just crawled down, and there were already water stains on her clothes.

Gagarin glanced at the woman and cast a spell directly.

Suddenly, dense feathers grew from the woman's body, and her body began to shrink. In the end, she turned into a hen with fear in her eyes.

"Crack, crack..." The hen flapped its wings and fled, leaving behind a fresh egg.

When the other residents and patrol team members saw this scene, they were terrified and fled in all directions, fearing that they would be caught in the disaster.

Lucian walked out of the carriage at this time, looked at the team leader who was still wailing and rolling on the ground, and gently stretched out his hand.

Wow—the team leader’s left hand bent unnaturally, but as his left hand bent, the flames on his body dissipated.

"Ah...ah!" He had just experienced the torture of fire and was still a little dazed. He couldn't help but shouting.

"Your Excellency is merciful." Gagarin lowered his head and flattered.

“Mercy?” Lucian looked at the absent-minded captain not far away, and then at Gagarin who was humbly bowing his head.

“So… this is already mercy?” Lucian sighed in his heart, but he didn’t think about it anymore. Instead, he looked at Gagarin and said, “There’s too much noise here. I think the city manager will come over here… Gagarin, you handle it later. Carly and I have some things to do.”

"Yes, sir." Gagarin looked at the captain who was running away in a panic, covering his left hand. He thought for a moment, but silently changed the witchcraft so that the woman who was turned into a hen by him could return to her human form after three hours.

……

At this time, Lucian was walking on the streets of Blackrock City with Carly. Although both of them wore hoods covering their faces, they had restrained their auras and did not attract as much attention as when they were riding in the carriage just now.

As Carly grew up in Blackrock City, she naturally became Lucian's guide at this time.

"This is the street where I lived when I was a child..." Whenever Carly walked to a familiar place, she would tell Lucian some stories about her time here.

"Grandpa Simon!" Suddenly, Carly looked at a grocery store on the street and an old man dozing in front of the store. She couldn't help but cheered and then ran over.

"Is it... Carly?" The old man seemed a little confused at first, but when he saw who it was, a smile appeared in his eyes. Then he gently pulled off a small piece of preserved fruit from the counter and handed it to Carly.

"I heard that you seemed to have gone to study somewhere?" Simon looked at Carly, and seemed to have just remembered that Carly had left Black Stone Ridge for quite some time.

"Well, I went to Graybone Academy, and this is my mentor Lucian..." Carly seemed very excited at this time. She ate preserved fruits and chatted with the old man for a long time before she felt satisfied.

"Grandpa Simon is a very nice person, but...sigh." After separating from Simon, Carly said with a sigh.

Lucian stuffed the preserved fruit in his hand into his mouth. "You can help him if you want."

"Help? But this matter must at least..." Carly was stunned.

"You are already a third-level wizard apprentice, and you can even become a formal wizard in the foreseeable future." Lucian looked at Carly, "You want to help an ordinary person now, let alone solve the minor crime of his son. Even if you want their family to become nobles and own a territory, it is a small matter, just a matter of a word."

"Just a word?" Carly was a little confused, as if she had not yet fully recovered from the change in her identity.

"This is the change that comes with strength." Lucian patted Carly's shoulder gently.
