Clinging to the Witcher world to become a god of martial arts

It was completely dark when the last bit of light was swallowed up, and the streetlights on both sides of the street lit up with a dim yellow glow.

Using the dim light, Lorne walked to the town's crossroads, searching for the alleyway from his memory.

Many shops were still brightly lit, and a few wizard apprentices in robes could be seen coming and going.

"Sir, would you like to come in and take a look? Our shop has many rare materials."

As they passed a building materials store, a thin man with a full beard greeted Lorne.

His gaze darted back and forth between the moon bag and the ceremonial robes.

"No need." Lorne shook his head and declined, chuckling to himself that he was finally getting better, being treated like a big shot in the Black Tower by the shop owner.

He casually took off the moonlight pouch from his waist and stuffed it into his bosom.

Even walking around the apprentice area, one should change their clothes... Lorne lifted the silver-threaded cuffs.

He also had a storage-type magical artifact hanging from his waist, which was too conspicuous and could be recognized by anyone with discerning eyes.

Following my memory, I arrived at the alleyway where the fortune-telling shop was located. It was pitch black inside, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

I should come see Mrs. Elena again tomorrow...

A square wooden sign hung high above his head. Lorne knocked on the tightly closed door, but there was no response.

After waiting at the door for a while, there was still no sound from inside.

Unconvinced, Lorne knocked a few more times, but nothing happened.

Is Lady Elena not at the fortune-telling shop?

After waiting in vain, Lorne decided to return to his residence first.

On his way out of town, he recalled what Rudolf had said:

"The conflict between the Black Sun Tower and the Forest of Fireflies is intensifying, and small-scale clashes have already occurred. A formal war will break out in less than half a month."

So far, Lorne has not sensed any pre-war urgency in the apprentice district.

This indicates that the war was not yet so serious at this time, and had not yet affected the apprentice level, so it was not up to the lower-level people to worry about.

It's highly likely that the conflict will remain at the level of a standoff between individual wizards.

I wonder if Mrs. Elena was implicated?

As a servant of a formal wizard, one should be attending to the other's needs from time to time...

Lorne arrived at his lodgings late at night. The cabin, bathed in moonlight, looked exactly the same as it had been yesterday.

They went out naked and returned laden with spoils.

I still remember leaving the cabin just to take on some commissions and earn some magic crystals. Who could have predicted that so many things would happen?

Gently push the wooden door open.

The familiar wooden bed came into view, with two books still unopened on it.

Both "Black Sun Meditation Method" and "Basic Identification of Herbs" are books provided free of charge by Black Tower, and no one would take them.

Lorne keenly noticed the only change in the room.

It was a letter lying on the wooden table.

He closed the door behind him, lit the half-burnt candle that was on the desk, and began to read the letter.

The letter was written by Theodore.

He had expected this, since he didn't have any other friends in the apprentice area.

To my dear friend

"Lorne, I wonder where you went. Is there something important you need to take care of?"

I miss you very much. I have visited you several times, but I have never seen you.

I asked the neighbors, but they didn't know where you were.

"It has been more than ten days since we arrived at the Black Sun Tower. I am very worried, so I am leaving this letter in the hope that you will see it as soon as you return, and then come to find me."

Your friend

Theodore

Lorne smiled and stuffed the letter back into his hand.

Theodore must have been extremely worried during his time in the elven settlement.

It's also my fault for not telling him my whereabouts, leaving him only to worry anxiously... Lorne lay in bed after a long time.

Let's go look for him again tomorrow.

By the light of the candle, Lorne opened the Black Sun Meditation Manual.

He'd been away for too long, and had almost forgotten the rest of the content and key points; he needed to quickly review them...

One night passed.

Lorne didn't get up early the next day.

After cleaning his wounds, he took out a bottle of Green Wood Liquid from his Moonlight Bag, drank it, and then put his clothes back on.

He stuffed the moonlight bag into his arms before preparing to leave.

There was only one bottle of Qingmu Liquid left, but fortunately, his injuries had mostly healed.

I've reviewed almost all the content of the Black Sun Meditation Technique. When I have time, I can try meditating with low-level Starshine Potions.

Rune crafting also needs to be put on the agenda...

After muttering something, Lorne went out.

Theodore's residence was some distance from Lorne, on the other side of town.

It takes a lot of time to travel back and forth.

The two knew each other's address, and Theodore had suggested sharing a room with Lorne so they could look after each other.

He was rejected by Lorne.

On the one hand, the room was only so big, and a wooden bed couldn't possibly accommodate two people; on the other hand, Lorne possessed the secret of the panel.

After a long journey, Lorne arrived at Theodore's residential area at noon.

Braving the scorching sun, he gently knocked on Theodore's door: "Theodore, I've come to see you."

A few beads of sweat gathered on Lorne's forehead, and he was filled with anticipation.

One minute, two minutes... no response.

No, it's one thing for Lady Elena to be away, but where has this brat run off to again?

"Theodore." Lorne increased the pressure slightly.

The wooden door was slammed shut with a loud "bang".

After several times.

Theodore's door was not open, but the wooden door next door was open outwards.

A pretty girl with a single ponytail leaned out and cast a questioning look at Lorne.

"Sir, are you here to see Lord Theodore?" the girl asked shyly.

"Yes."

After receiving an affirmative reply, the girl instantly became enthusiastic.

"Lord Theodore is not at his residence at this time; he usually goes to the training grounds."

The girl was quite excited: "I'll take you there."

After saying that, he quickly walked down the steps and started jogging.

This scene of a young girl in love left Lorne somewhat speechless.

I've only been away from that rascal for half a month, how come it feels more like half a year?

When did that timid little brat develop such great charisma?

With questions in mind, Lorne followed the girl.

"Sir, may I ask your name?"

"Lorne".

"Um...okay, Lord Lorne, my name is Lily."

"Don't call me 'sir'."

"Yes, Lord Lorne."

"..."

The two chatted casually as they approached the training ground, and Lorne spotted the curly-haired boy in a wizard's robe in the distance.

As you get closer, Theodore's face becomes clearer, and you can hear him talking to a boy in casual clothes next to him.

"Watch closely... only... Arcane Impact!"

Simple spell runes unfolded on Theodore's wrist.

As the hand gestures finished after a few seconds, the air in front of him distorted violently, and a pale purple energy shockwave burst forth.

"Boom!"

Like a deafening explosion of high-pressure gas, the scarecrow not far away burst open.

Lorne: "???"

"Lord Theodore is a genius. It is said that he was even noticed by a big shot in the Black Tower and opened his spiritual sea in just ten days, becoming a wizard apprentice."

The girl with the single ponytail explained from the side.

Just as Lorne was stunned, Theodore, who was on the training field, noticed them and turned his gaze over.

Two weeks later, the two met again.
