Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 462 Giving and Requesting

Outside the palace, the cheers of the city fairies could still be heard in the distance, but they were no longer very clear. The bustling noise, full of life, seemed to have been separated by something, forming a stark contrast with the tranquility here.

Valin first let out a short gasp, breaking the silence, but quickly regained her composure and simply stood there, staring intently at Gillian, who stood alone in the distance.

Gillian stood in the empty palace, still elegant and beautiful, but upon closer inspection, many problems could be found. For example, Ruger noticed that she seemed to have grown taller than before, her eyes were rounder, and her hair was much shorter and neatly combed back.

Of course, none of these changes can outweigh the impact of her becoming a man.

Mahama seemed to be the last to notice this; perhaps he didn't immediately open his dog eyes wide and presumptuously observe the wizard in front of him.

"We're just here to offer our blessings."

Wizard Zorn spoke first with a smile.

Valin glanced at Zorn from time to time upon hearing this, but did not say anything to disturb him.

Ruger sensed a different kind of smile in his words and laughter.

"Then I'll accept your blessings!"

Suddenly another voice appeared.

Before this sound appeared, no one thought it was unusual. Only after hearing it could they realize the difference; this was the true voice of the wizard Gillian.

Immediately afterward, the Gillian in front of her began to flicker and sway, and another Gillian emerged from it, as if stepping through a door, or rather, stepping through a mirror image, and walking out from the other side of the mirror.

The two Gillians stood there, and looking at them, they were indeed a handsome man and a beautiful woman, quite a good match, only they looked a little too alike.

However, when the two stand side by side for comparison, others can notice more differences. These differences are not just in temperament and appearance, but also in how they were previously deceived by some means and automatically ignored certain details. Now that the two are standing together, it is as if they have been exposed from a subconscious perspective.

"Lady Gillian?" Valin asked cautiously, trying to find the right words.

"Of course it is me."

Another Gillian emerged from the stunned short-haired Gillian, as if stepping through a mirror.

After walking out, he stood aside and quietly watched everyone.

“I have suffered trauma in the past, which is why I have never reached the third ring level. This is an opportunity for me. Mirror fairies are rare, and those who become fairy kings are even rarer. It is even more rare that the kingdom happens to be shattered, and it is also moving towards becoming a great fairy king…”

Another Gillian stepped forward, talking as she went. Valin's eyes widened; she, who was usually very careful about her expressions, had become even more exaggerated than the unkempt kobold.

"If I succeed, I will become a third-ring wizard and heal my past injuries. In the future, reassembling my origin point and even reaching the fourth ring will no longer be a problem for me... If I fail... I will continue on my wizarding path and shatter along with this kingdom... Then there will no longer be a useless wizard named Gillian..."

As she finished speaking, another Gillian stepped forward, glancing at the crowd before her.

The tone was flat, as if they were discussing whether a bowl of fish bone soup was delicious.

Ruger couldn't help but scratch his fluffy head.

Apart from the initial short-haired male Gillian, all the subsequent appearances were recognized by Ruger as the genuine Gillian wizards.

Moreover, from the moment they appeared, the original short-haired Gillian truly stood still like a strange door.

"Valin, haven't you always wanted to be my student? Once I succeed, you can truly become my student, and you can let go of the troubles your family has brought you... You don't need to blame yourself. This is the path I chose. On the contrary, I should thank you. It is the power of the contract within you that made my attempt more stable, and with your help, I was able to directly establish a connection with the Fairy King..."

Another Gillian stepped forward and looked at Valin.

"The greedy Fairy King wanted to use the contract with you to escape this kingdom. Its connection with this kingdom is too close. Any fairy in this kingdom can leave here to survive outside, but it can't... It sensed the power of the contract with you and forcibly twisted my passage, bringing us here..."

Another brand new Gillian emerges, this time with a faint smile.

"That contract wasn't originally aimed at it, so it could only forcibly touch the power of the contract, attempting to make changes through a mirror image. This gave me an opportunity. Fate has placed this opportunity before me, and I have no reason to ignore it. I will forge ahead, become a third-ring wizard, and open the path to higher ranks..."

As he finished speaking, Ruger subconsciously looked at the short-haired Gillian who was standing there blankly, but this time he waited for a long time and no new Gillian appeared.

Luger breathed a sigh of relief.

"Kind little Valin, the power of the family contract you were born with has been largely absorbed by the Fairy King because of this incident. You no longer need to fear anything related to fairies; there's no need to fear it anyway. You must overcome the fear you've carried since childhood. You should know that your path is perfectly suited to becoming a Gem Summoner, just like me. Otherwise, those few orbs you painstakingly crafted can only accompany you up to the first level of Wizarding. After that, you'll have to replace them all. The road ahead is long. Wizards will become increasingly powerful, and high-level materials will become increasingly precious and rare. Only by fairyizing them can you continue to cultivate them..."

A belated wizard named Gillian emerged, just as casually as the others before her.

However, Ruger noticed that the casualness in her expression seemed to stem from her still-calm mindset, rather than genuine ease.

Gillian, who arrived late, continued, "Consider this a gift from me. I hope it's not the last one. I'll spare some of my power to use this fairy kingdom to help you become a gem summoner and transform those orbs. This will save you a lot of time. I know you've actually been secretly collecting gem summoner's spiritual magic, but you're resisting the fairies."

"Finally, I must thank you all for coming here for me..." Another Gillian appeared, smiling at them. She paused briefly on Ruger, seemingly curious about why he had become shorter, before continuing, "I also ask Lord Zorn for some help. A group of unfamiliar wizards have their eyes on me, one of whom is at least a second-circle wizard. He seems to be waiting for an opportunity to steal my work... He is accompanied by some wizard apprentices, who seem to be here to perform an ascension ritual. I suspect they are wizards from the Council of the True Spirits..."
