Wizard: Starting from Escaping Another World to Pioneering

Chapter 149 Todd's Wedding

The servant was startled by Matthew's sudden appearance.

He reached out and covered his heaving chest before replying, "My lord, you've finally appeared!"

66

"Today is Young Master Todd's wedding."

"Everyone else has gone to prepare for the wedding."

Matthew could tell from the other person's words that they had been searching for him for a long time.

"Did Todd contact me?"

"Yes, sir, young master Todd has come to see you several times."

What did he want from me?

'

The servant shook his head and replied, "I don't know."

"But...but..."

'

Matthew pressed on, "Just what?"

'

The servant hesitated for a moment, then said, "But Young Master Todd has looked for you many times, yet he has not been able to find you."

i

Many people thought you had already left...

'

"Some people also believe that you are..."

66

The servant hesitated, looking as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Seeing this, Matthew couldn't help but say, "What's wrong? Just say it."

"What do they think I am?"

They think you're a liar.

66

"A fraud?" Matthew wondered.

He didn't understand why the people here had such thoughts.

Even if I left without saying goodbye, it doesn't mean I have to think I'm a liar, right?

The servant noticed Matthew's confusion and quickly explained, "Because everyone initially thought you were a wizard's apprentice."

66

"Recently, there have been rumors that the Earl of the Golden Lion is about to take action against us."

"But you just happened to disappear at that moment."

"So everyone thought you were a conman who freeloaded, and when they realized something was wrong, they ran away beforehand."

'

Matthew had heard Todd mention the matter between the Earl of the Golden Lion and the Blackwater family before, so he quickly realized what was going on.

"But isn't Todd about to marry Earl Snow Mountain?"

66

"Didn't the Snow Mountain Earl family produce two wizard apprentices?"

66

"And Todd himself is also a wizard apprentice, so how dare Earl of the Golden Lion deal with two wizard apprentice families at the same time?"

"6

"Um, I'm not quite sure about that either..."

66

"I've only heard that the Snow Mountain family's most recent wizard apprentice was two hundred years ago."

"That wizard apprentice has never returned in the past two hundred years."

"And the Earl of the Golden Lion's family recently found a wild wizard from somewhere."

66

"Perhaps it was that wild wizard who gave him confidence."

Matthew listened intently to the other person's account with a furrowed brow, finally understanding the whole story.

"I never imagined that so many things would happen during the time I was gone."

6

"Wild Wizard..."

66

"That's interesting..."

'

"They certainly wouldn't help Earl Golden Lion for no reason."

"That person must have ulterior motives for doing this."

Wizarding apprentices who do not join any school of thought are generally called wild wizards.

Because these sorcerers lack access to knowledge, they often have to rely on guesswork for many of their experiments and research.

Moreover, because they are not bound by the rules of any school of thought, they act recklessly and often cause terrifying experimental crises.

Of course, this terror is relative to the realm of mortals.

For those apprentices from the school, this meant nothing.

Because in the face of absolute power, these small matters will be easily resolved.

Matthew snapped out of his daze and replied to the guard, "I understand the situation. You may leave."

66

"Yes, sir."

Although the guard wanted to say more, he eventually withdrew respectfully.

To be honest, he didn't trust the other party much either.

Many people here have rumors that Matthew is a fraud with an undeserved reputation.

Some even believe that Matthew was not a wizarding apprentice at all.

His identity was merely a fabrication by young Master Todd.

The purpose was to trick the Earl of Snow Mountain into a marriage alliance.

However, the other party was, after all, a friend of young master Todd.

He was just a lowly guard here, so he still treated Matthew with considerable respect.

He had already decided that if Earl of the Golden Lion really attacked Earl of the Blackwater, he would simply run away.

Matthew had no idea what the other person was thinking as he watched the guard walk away.

He darted out of the manor and headed towards Blackwater Fortress.

That's where Todd held his wedding.

Somewhere on the outskirts of Blackwater Fort.

A young man asked Earl Golden Lion, "Father, are we really going to take action against Earl Blackwater?"

Upon hearing this, Earl of the Golden Lion nodded and said, "Kidd, don't worry, I've already sent people to find out."

66

"Todd's so-called wizard apprentice friend is probably just a fraud."

66

"The purpose is to intimidate us and, incidentally, trick us into a marriage alliance with Earl of Snow Mountain."

66

"That person hasn't been seen since he went to the Blackwater family's manor."

"According to the information gathered by his spies, Todd had gone to look for that man many times, but all his efforts had been in vain."

"I bet that person has already run away..."

'

Kidd was still somewhat uneasy upon hearing this, and then asked, "But Todd is, after all, a wizard's apprentice."

I'm afraid...

'

Earl of the Golden Lion waved his hand and laughed loudly, "That Todd is just a wizard apprentice with no talent whatsoever."

"What kind of waves can an apprentice sent by a school to explore new territories in another world stir up?"

'

"We have Lord Jax behind us, Todd is no threat at all."

66

"Moreover..."

"6

"Lord Jax probably doesn't need to intervene."

66

Earl of the Golden Lion looked confident, as if he had other tricks up his sleeve besides Jax.

"This is absolutely the best opportunity for us to take over the Blackwater family's territory!"

'

"I have already ordered troops to be sent here."

66

"As long as we take down those core members of the Blackwater family later..."

"With the help of both inside and outside forces, this place will surely become the possession of my Golden Lion family!"

6

Upon hearing this, the others were also in high spirits and echoed, "The Earl is wise!"

"6

Blackwater Castle.

The place is quite lively right now, with servants warmly welcoming the visiting guests.

People had no idea what was going to happen next.

But in a room inside the castle, Count Jason of Blackwater paced back and forth impatiently.

He asked his butler, Zack, "Has there been any news from Earl of the Golden Lion lately?"

'

Upon hearing this, Butler Zack shook his head and replied, "Not yet..."

'

Jason did not relax after hearing the other party's reply.

He felt that something was amiss during this period, and he was filled with apprehension.

At this point, Jason asked Todd, "Todd, where did your friend go?"

'

"I don't know either."

"Perhaps he was at a crucial juncture in some research project."

66

Todd was quite exasperated when it came to Matthew.

He had tried to contact Matthew several times during this period, but the door to Matthew's room remained closed.

Todd therefore dared not break down the door, for fear of disturbing the other party's experiment.

"Sigh!" Jason sighed.

When Todd told him about Matthew's exploits, he initially thought the Blackwater family had found a powerful backer.

To his disappointment, Matthew never showed up again after moving into his estate.

Rumors are circulating that the other party is a fraudster.

Today is my son's wedding, but that person still hasn't shown up.

Jason's resolve began to waver.
