When the Demon Wolf King's henchmen charged into the group of adventurers, it was like tigers among sheep, leaving the adventurers utterly defenseless.
These adventurers were only of average skill to begin with, and with the Demon Wolf King constantly watching them, they were in a state of panic. How could they possibly perform at their normal level?
"Bah! Is this all human adventurers are capable of? With your strength, you dare to harbor ill intentions towards Master's mother?"
Seeing the one-sided situation, the Wolf King spat on the ground, a very human-like disdain appearing on his face, and then left in the direction of Senis and the others, completely losing interest.
Clearly, the opponent's strength was too weak; he couldn't even defeat his own underlings. The Demon Wolf King felt that fighting such an existence would be beneath his dignity as a wolf king.
Hearing the screams coming from behind him, the curious Noren wanted to turn around to look, but he was quickly glared at by Senis and immediately became obedient.
Because walking to the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Milis was too inconvenient, and because Wood couldn't get a proper rest, Senis and her companions bought a luxury carriage and supplies after heading to the next town.
Whether Senis was born with a "victim" aura or not, this beautiful young woman with two children was once again targeted after her wealthy identity was revealed...
Then, very quickly, the script repeated itself. The Wolf King's henchmen resumed their rampage, while the Wolf King once again began to complain that human adventurers were truly trash.
In fact, the overall strength of humanity is not weak; it's just that the adventurers in this world are not particularly skilled.
After all, most people who become adventurers are forced by life's circumstances, and those who can reach the advanced level are already quite rare.
To put it bluntly, as long as one reaches the "superior" level, or even the "saint" level, whether one is a swordsman or a mage, one can find a well-paid job in any kingdom without having to risk becoming an adventurer.
Senis wasn't deliberately feigning weakness to lure these people with ill intentions. Rather, the Demon Wolf King and the others were still magical beasts, and if they followed them into the town, it would cause unnecessary chaos. That's why Senis had them wait outside the city.
If anyone is to blame, it's human greed, which led to these people losing their lives for no reason.
As Noren excitedly described to Wood what had happened after he fell into a coma, Wood could only respond with a helpless, bitter smile.
Wood, who had been unconscious for three days, woke up with no problems except for feeling a little stiff. In fact, his magical power had increased significantly compared to before.
Previously, Wood was inferior to Rudy in terms of magical power, but now, Wood felt that his magical power was comparable to Rudy's.
“Seneca, I told you I’m fine now. Even Norren and Aisha can feed themselves now…”
Wood looked helpless as he watched his mother prepare to feed him, but before he could finish speaking, Senis rudely interrupted him.
"What do you mean you're alright! You were unconscious for three whole days! You're a patient now, so behave yourself."
Wood, who had been in a coma for three days, was in perfect health except for the fact that he had not eaten and was therefore somewhat weak, and that his hair had been burned off and that his skin was covered in burn scars.
Chapter 280 Journey to the Holy Kingdom of Milis
Thanks to Senis and Paul's outstanding looks, the Grellatt family is quite good-looking.
However, due to the fire magic used to defeat the Hydra, Wood's once dazzling blond hair has been completely burned away, and now he has a bald head.
Furthermore, due to the high-temperature burns, nearly half of Wood's body was left with red scars, even after receiving treatment from Senis.
This was something Senis had always worried about, since, like Rudy, she used to be quite vain, always admiring herself in the mirror as a child. (Because Rudy was a slacker in her previous life.)
So Senis was also worried that Wood, like Rudy, was quite concerned about his appearance, and that he might not be able to accept this fact.
After all, hair can grow back after being burned off, but scars caused by burns are not so easy to heal.
"Don't worry, we are now on our way to the capital of the Holy Kingdom of Milis. If it is His Holiness the Pope, he will surely have a way to remove these burn scars."
Senis was originally the eldest daughter of the Count Latorea family of the Holy Kingdom of Milis, and was even hailed as the "benchmark of a rich young lady" when she was young.
She ran away from home because she had a fight with her mother, and was tricked along the way and almost sold into slavery.
He eventually encountered Paul and his group, and eventually became active as a member of the adventure group "Black Wolf Fang".
Since running away from home, Senis has never returned to the Holy Kingdom of Milis, and even after marrying Paul and having Wood and Rudy, she has never contacted the Latorrea family once.
From this perspective, it's clear that Senis and Paul share a common trait: they both have very strong personalities.
Wood didn't know the extent of the conflict between Senis and his nominal grandmother, but the fact that Senis never mentioned her mother showed that she wanted to fight against her mother to the end.
However, this time, for Wood's sake, Senis actually chose to compromise and prepared to return to the Latorrea family to apologize to her mother.
Unfortunately, the Holy Kingdom of Milis is a theocracy, and the Pope's status is even higher than that of the King. If you want the Pope to treat Wood, Senis's personal power is not enough. You must rely on the power of the Earl of Latorrea to get the Pope to take action.
"Actually, I didn't care too much about the burns. Now that I look like Rudy, I won't have to take the blame for him all the time, right?"
Moreover, once healing magic is mastered to the 'King level,' it can heal old wounds and scars.
With my current magical power, mastering King-level healing magic should only be a matter of time.
Previously, Wood only possessed fire and water magic at the "King-level" level, but after awakening, he felt that his magical power had increased significantly.
For a mage, once their magical power increases, some things will naturally fall into place.
Just like a "Water Saint" level mage, even if they are not good at fire magic, with their magic power and knowledge, there is no reason why they would not be able to learn a basic fire magic.
If Wood had said something like that in the past, Senis would most likely have thought Wood was just putting on a brave face.
However, after navigating the moving maze, Senis finally came to know her genius son. Since he had already mastered "Water King" and "Fire King" level magic, it seemed that it was not impossible for him to learn King-level healing magic as well.
What Senis didn't know was that Wood had even used "Emperor-level" fire magic in his final battle against the Hydra, because she had fallen into a coma at the time.
As for the two little girls, Aisha and Norren, due to their lack of experience, they had no idea what "Emperor-level" magic was. They only knew that their brother Wood had used very powerful magic in the end.
Upon hearing that Wood could learn "King-level" healing magic to heal herself, Senis immediately ran outside the carriage, intending to turn her horse around and change direction.
"Seneca, what are you planning to do? Aren't we going to the Holy Kingdom of Milis to see Grandma?"
Although this world is a simulated life arranged by the system, for Wood, every stage of his life is an incredibly real life experience.
He was born in this world and lived there for eleven years. Paul, Senis, and the others were indeed Wood's relatives.
So Wood was actually quite curious about his adoptive grandmother, whom he had never met.
"What grandmother? Our main goal right now is to find Paul and Lilia. As for other things, we can talk about them later."
Clearly, Senis had compromised before because Wood needed treatment. Now that she knew Wood was confident he could cure her, the strong-willed Senis was naturally unwilling to admit defeat to her mother.
"Since we need to find Paul and the others as soon as possible, we should head to the Holy Kingdom of Milis."
This world is so big, with countless kingdoms, and even the continent has several regions. How long will it take to find Paul and the others if we rely solely on our own efforts?
My mother's family was originally a high-ranking noble family in the Holy Kingdom of Milis, right? With their help, we should be able to obtain more information, which will help us find our family as soon as possible, right?
Despite her strong will, Senis couldn't defy Wood, and the group's ultimate goal remained the Holy Kingdom of Milis.
Because Wood was right. To find Paul and his group as soon as possible, intelligence sources and manpower were very important. Even without the help of the Latoria family, they would have to go to some big cities to have room to maneuver.
As they traveled towards the Holy Kingdom of Milis, Wood and his group attracted a considerable amount of attention.
Because it is a medieval world, the main means of transportation for long-distance travel is still horse-drawn carriages.
However, Wood and his companions' "carriage" was more accurately described as a wolf carriage, because it was not pulled by horses at all, but by rare wolf-like magical beasts.
Especially the enormous wolf that followed the carriage, which was far larger than the carriage itself, drew frequent glances from passersby.
If it weren't for the two adorable girls playing on the back of that giant wolf, passersby would have thought they had encountered a terrifying leader-level monster on the road.
Anyone with a brain could guess that the person in the carriage, capable of controlling such a terrifying magical beast, was either a rare super-strong individual or a noble person of considerable status.
So, with the idea of getting acquainted with them or at least getting free escorts, quite a few people tried to strike up a conversation with Wood and his group along the way.
Senis remained indifferent to all of these people until someone from a certain group caught her attention.
Chapter 281 The Lady in the War-Torn Land
When the Great Migration Disaster struck, the entire territory of Fituia was affected, and the Boreas family was no exception.
After all, teleportation magic doesn't distinguish between commoners and nobles.
When the disaster struck, Philip and Hilda were having afternoon tea at the Bereas mansion.
Philip was still pondering whether it would be more appropriate to marry his daughter Alice to Wood or Rudy, given his own ambitions.
Since Hilda is also Alice's mother, Philip naturally wants to hear Hilda's opinion on his daughter's marriage.
Hilda harbored resentment towards her husband because Philip lost the competition for the headship of the family, resulting in her child being taken away by the family.
However, Hilda was quite satisfied with Philip's approach to Alice's marriage.
Paul and Senis may have been born into nobility, but they have both renounced their aristocratic status, which means that Wood and Rudy are now commoners.
Alice, as the most beloved granddaughter of Lord Sauros of Fituia and the daughter of Lord Philip of the city, was undoubtedly a wealthy young lady.
Under normal circumstances, Alice's betrothed would only be a nobleman of equal rank, and would absolutely not be someone like Wood or Rudy.
But this time, Philip was unusually assertive, stating that he should decide his daughter's marriage and choosing Wood and Rudy as the two candidates.
As for asking his wife Hilda, Philip felt he was asking unnecessary questions.
Philip's high regard for both Wood and Rudy stemmed entirely from their exceptional maturity and talent, which far surpassed that of their peers.
However, Hilda clearly favored Wood, her younger brother, over Rudy, as evidenced by the meticulous care she took for the flower called "Dawn's Light."
Hilda always felt quite regretful that such a warm, obedient, and polite child as Wood wasn't her own.
But if Alice could become his wife, wouldn't that regret be completely made up for?
While the two were discussing Alice's marriage, the Great Transfer disaster struck...
Hilda was carefully pruning the leaves of "Dawn's Light" at the time, and Philip only had time to grab his wife who was still in a daze.
After the two men had been unconscious for a period of time and regained consciousness, they found that they were no longer at the Boreas mansion, but in a desolate wilderness.
Although he is the lord of a city, Philip's own strength is mediocre. He does not know magic, and even his swordsmanship is only slightly better than that of an ordinary person.
