Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 54 Recruitment
The light from the magic crystal chandelier softly fills the entire small private room.

Ronan and everyone sat around a long table, which was decorated with candles and flowers, as well as a variety of beautiful and sumptuous delicacies.

While enjoying this rare delicious meal, everyone listened to the wizard Barry speaking with a beaming face while holding up his wine glass.

".He said, Sean, if your wizarding talent was half as good as your talent in Potions.
Oh no, not even a quarter!

You are now more than just a second-level apprentice."

"Exact words! These are the words of that adult! I heard every word clearly!"

Barry drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and the pride and joy between his brows seemed to be overflowing.

"Sean, my dear son, I am proud of you. I always said that you would be a great talent in pharmacy one day."

Barry, who was obviously a little drunk, kissed Sean's forehead. Sean, who was forcibly held in his arms, was full of embarrassment and shame and kept struggling.

Ronan sat diagonally across from Barry, with Jacob on his left and Cheryl on his right.

He cut off a piece of roasted lamb chop and slowly put it into his mouth, with a complicated feeling in his heart.

It's no wonder that the usually sophisticated Barry was so happy. The main reason was that what happened to Sean was indeed legendary.

The story is roughly about Barry, who, with the help of his uncle's connections, found Sean a job as a pharmacist apprentice in a potion shop in the dwarf market.

By chance, the chief potion master and official wizard-level strongman of the potion shop saw the strange potions such as "Sleepy Potion" that Sean had made when he was free, and was very surprised.

After calling Sean to test him, he was extremely impressed by his talent in potions and accepted Sean as his apprentice on the spot.
"It took me less than half a year to go from a complete novice in rune studies to a qualified rune master who can skillfully engrave zero-level intermediate runes and is about to enter the zero-level advanced rune. Why don't any rune masters take a fancy to me?"

Ronan chewed the mutton and felt a little sour in his heart.

If he was like this, let alone the others present.

The dinner had completely changed by now. Everyone was laughing awkwardly, and the only one who was truly happy was Barry.

The one-armed Qiao Lin sat at the end of the long table, pouring wine continuously into his mouth. Mrs. Qiao Lin wanted to stop him, but he pushed her away roughly.

Everyone was silent, eating the food on their plates silently, except for Wizard Barry who was still chattering.

"That adult said he would take my son and I away from this chaotic and terrible place."

"This is really the best news since winter. I have had enough of this kind of dependent life. Poor Sean, the future genius pharmacist, has to suffer with me."

Just as Barry kept talking about how annoying his weird and stereotyped wizard uncle was, suddenly, a huge noise came from outside the door, as if something suddenly exploded outside.

Everyone looked outside the door in surprise. Jacob, who was always smart, stood up quickly and rushed out.

A moment later, Jacob came back with an expression on his face that was hard to tell whether it was nervous or weird.

"Hoddam Wizard Academy has just issued an announcement, saying that starting today, we will officially offer our services to all wandering grey-robed wizards."

Jacob paused, then continued, "Issue a call for conscription."

Ronan stood at the door of the tavern he had just walked out of, looking at Sean, whose cheeks were slightly red, talking to Vinicia in an awkward manner not far away.

"Sean likes Vinicia and wants to take her away with him"

Old Wells walked up to Ronan and spoke softly.

"Do you think Venetia will go with him?"

Ronan inquired.

Old Wells looked at him and said nothing.

At this time, the conversation between the two people in the distance had ended, and Sean walked away with a look of disappointment. Barry, who looked drunk, put his arm around Sean's shoulders and comforted him nonchalantly: "It's no big deal, Sean. There are women like this everywhere on the street. She's not pretty, and she's not worthy of you at all."
And I feel like maybe before tomorrow morning she’ll be back like the tail wagging the dog.”

"What did you say?"

Ronan stood in front of Barry and his son, looking at Barry expressionlessly, "Say it again."

"Lord Roronan!"

Barry's drunkenness disappeared in an instant, and he seemed to remember how Ronan led them out of the forest alive.

The indescribable twisted torrent, the senior apprentice black-robed wizard who shattered and died like dust
"I'm sorry!"

Barry lowered his head and hurried away with Sean.

“He wasn’t like this before”

Old Wells looked at the backs of Barry and his son as they left, and said in a complicated tone: "Of course, it may also be that I have never really known him."

Ronan shook his head, indicating that the topic was over.

The drunk Qiao Lin squatted on the street and vomited, waving his one arm and yelling like a madman, while Mrs. Qiao Lin stood by with a helpless look on her face.

Finally, with the help of Vinicia and Cheryl, he was able to get back home.

Ronan and old Wells walked slowly along the long street in another direction.

It was late at night, but the streets and alleys of the wizard town were bustling with activity.

On the road, wizards holding oil lamps and torches kept passing by them hurriedly.

Time seemed to go back to the day when the black robes officially invaded.

"You feel it?"

After a while of silence, old Wells suddenly spoke.

Ronan's eyes flickered with the light of torches in the distance, and he nodded slightly.

The chief potion master of the Dwarf Market Potions Shop was eager to take everyone away, and the academy launched a call for all wandering wizards at this time.
All signs indicate that the situation of Hoddam Wizard Academy in its battle with the dark wizard force in the Forest of Deathwhisper is not optimistic.

“It was the same that time.”

Old Wells sighed and said, "The next step is when people are really going to die."

"Leaving Hoddam now is the best option"

Ronan seemed to be thinking about something, and said to himself: "Maybe you can try to persuade Venisia later."

Sean, that young and inexperienced guy, was clearly acting like a bootlicker.

Even if Venisia doesn't like him, she can take advantage of the situation and go with him first, and then find a way to kick him out after leaving Hoddam.
Ronan suddenly felt that he was a bad person, but after today's dinner, he had already regarded Barry and his son as outsiders in his heart.

Why should we sympathize or pity outsiders?

Old Wells didn't respond.

“There are other ways.”

Old Wells stopped, looked into Ronan's eyes, took a deep breath and said, "Ronan, I beg for your help."
