Wizard, I have a different world.

Chapter 18 Wizard
early morning.

The fog has not yet dissipated.

A dark carriage drove into the path, the driver using his skillful technique to steer the wheels around the undulations of the terrain.

Karl lifted the car curtain, looked at the familiar road, and asked:
"The way to Count Rekton's estate outside the city?"

"good."

Tim, who was sitting opposite, was wearing a top hat and a white tie, like a guest dressed up for a banquet.

He raised his cane and pointed outside:
"At the same time, this is also the way to the manor of my mentor, 'Senior Wizard Apprentice' Adolf."

"Adolf?" Carl's eyes moved slightly:
"The pharmacist?"

"Yes." Tim nodded:
“My supervisor’s research focuses on pharmacy.”

"What is a wizard?" Carl asked:

"What did you bring me here for?"

"Haha..." Tim chuckled:
"You'll understand when you get there. In short, this is a field that many people will never be able to touch in their lifetime."

Carl asked many times about the "wizard" along the way, but the other party kept silent.

Although he didn't know what he would face next, he had a feeling that this trip would change his destiny.

That was why I agreed to follow the other party.

"arrive!"

The U-shaped iron gate opens to both sides. The surface of the stone wall is obviously mottled, and the wooden sign with the name is covered with vines.

This is a dilapidated manor.

There is a sense of the passage of time everywhere.

An old gardener was trimming flowers and plants with scissors in his hand. When he saw Tim, he bowed with some difficulty.

"He..." Carl looked at the gardener with suspicion:

"Have you practiced breathing techniques?"

The moment the other party's eyes swept over him, the Poison Wolf Breathing Technique started to work spontaneously, and a warning sign flashed through his mind.

Even though it was only for a moment, it was definitely correct.

"Yes."

Tim nodded, looking casual:
"Old Harry was a knight."

"knight?"

Carl was shocked.

Knights are even rarer than nobles. Even if they are old, they are still big shots in the city. But now they are doing the job of trimming flowers and plants for people here.

"Let's go."

Tim quickened his pace:

"Don't keep the instructor waiting."

Karl retracted his gaze and hurried to catch up.

The manor was large and spacious. I walked along the lawn to an ancient castle building before I saw human figures again.

"This way!"

Tim led the way and came to a side hall specially for receiving guests, where someone was already waiting.

"tutor."

The old man sitting in the middle was wearing a long grey robe, his white hair was casually scattered, and he looked dignified. Although he was old, one could tell that he must have been extremely masculine when he was young.

His eyes were cloudy and dim, and he seemed to have no interest in anything.

This depressed attitude made him look a little decadent.

Adolf!
A senior wizard apprentice.

The ancient manor, the mysterious wizard, the scrutiny of the people around him, and the inexplicable atmosphere made Carl subconsciously become restrained.

"Some years."

Looking at Carl, Adolf's eyes perked up a little, and he whispered:

"I didn't expect that there would be another promising talent in Signo City, and he came at the right time."

He didn't say what time it was, but just waved to the people around him.

"Xibel, go test his talent."

"Yes."

A young girl walked out upon hearing this.

The girl held a crystal ball the size of a human head in her hand, walked slowly to Karl's side, and smiled sweetly:
"Relax."

"Just put your hands on it."

"Hand." Carl came back to his senses:
"Ok."

He followed the other party's instructions and placed his hands on the surface of the crystal ball, and then he felt his body tremble.

It was as if an electric current was flowing through my hands and throughout my body.

The next moment. "Hmm!"

Carl groaned, feeling as if his head had exploded and an inexplicable pain came over him.

The severe pain came quickly and went away quickly.

When he came to his senses, his hands had left the crystal ball, and the girl lowered her head and stared at the crystal ball carefully.

The originally transparent crystal ball suddenly became filled with colorful lights that kept changing.

After a while.

"Level 4."

The girl turned around and looked at Adolf:
"Teacher, his talent level is level four, but his mental strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people, so it is easier for him to be promoted to a wizard apprentice."

"Level 4?"

Adolf sighed, obviously disappointed:

"A little lower."

Then he said:
"According to the ancient 'General Rules of Wizards', when a gifted seed is discovered, it should be guided onto the correct path of wizardry."

"Karl, I will teach you how to meditate, but whether you can become a wizard apprentice depends on your own efforts."

"Old man." Karl finally had time to ask the question in his mind:
"What is a wizard?"

"What is a wizard?" Adolf pondered for a moment before answering:
"A so-called wizard is someone who has mastered some special powers in the process of pursuing knowledge and truth."

"Special power?" Carl's eyes lit up:
"Myers type?"

"Yes."

Adolf obviously knew what happened yesterday and nodded:

"Myers, whom you mentioned, as well as Sibel, Tim, and myself, are all of this kind of people."

"Then what is a wizard apprentice?" Carl asked again.

"It's difficult to become a real wizard. All the previous learning process is as a wizard apprentice." Adolf smiled and stroked his beard:

"My lifelong pursuit is to become a formal wizard."

"Carl," Tim said.

"There are only a few official wizards in the entire Gondor Kingdom, and there are only two high-level wizard apprentices in Signo City."

“Mentor is one of them.”

Carl was confused.

"That……"

His throat rolled:
"What is the talent level?"

"Most people in this world don't have the talent to become wizards, and talents vary from person to person," the girl named Sibel explained.

"We usually divide talent levels into five levels, with level one being the best and level five being the worst."

"Level 4..."

“It’s quite ordinary.”

She was being polite. In fact, most people with level 4 talent could only become junior wizard apprentices in their lifetime, and it was very rare for them to become intermediate wizard apprentices.

Not to mention a formal wizard.

Karl could also sense the change in the other person's tone, but he didn't care about it.

He didn't even know what a wizard apprentice was, let alone the impact of his talent level on his future.

"Old Master...Teacher."

Karl bowed to Adolf and changed his address:
"After learning the meditation method you mentioned, will I be able to have abilities like Miles?"

"No!"

Adolf shook his head:
"Meditation can increase your mental strength and give you the ability to cast witchcraft, but you still need to learn the corresponding witchcraft to master special powers."

"Witchcraft?" Karl asked.
"What kind of witchcraft can I learn?"

"Karl."

Adolf chuckled:
"In the wizarding world, everything has a price, especially knowledge."

"If you call me teacher, I will teach you meditation, but learning witchcraft will cost you something else."

"Price?" Karl asked:

"gold?"

If you can have Miles' ability, it's worth the money.

"No." However, Adolf shook his head and rejected it:
"I don't need gold."

"But there's something about you that interests me."

?

Carl lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then took out a ring inlaid with a sapphire jade from his body.
