Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

One week later.

late at night.

Xia Jian suddenly woke up from her bed and quickly looked around at her surroundings.

The room had been transformed; the clutter had been cleaned up, a thick quilt was laid on the bed, and some food was placed on the wooden table next to it.

"Teacher, you're awake!"

Seeing Xia Jian sit up, Leia, who was sitting on the bed, rushed over to him with a look of surprise.

Upon hearing Leia's voice, the others rushed into the house to check on Xia Jian's condition, but Phyllis was the only one missing.

"Where is Phyllis?"

Xia Jian asked in a slightly hoarse voice.

"He went out, he'll be back in a bit."

After Valerie finished speaking, she sat down beside Natsumi's bed and touched his forehead: "You've been sleeping for a week now, are you feeling better?"

Xia Jian had been unconscious for two days and had a persistent high fever, leading them to believe that he had contracted a serious illness.

However, given their current situation, they couldn't find anyone to come to their home for treatment, so they could only ask Phyllis to buy some fever reducers.

"A week?!"

Xia Jian's eyes widened.

But then he cursed himself inwardly for being unconscious for two days at such a critical moment!

If Phyllis were to harbor ill intentions, or if the lord's men were to come looking for him, then he would truly be at their mercy.

Fortunately, the thing he was worried about didn't happen, and Xia Jian couldn't help but look at the wizard's notebook on the bedside table.

It all started with this wizard's notebook!

Xia Jian was reading until dawn when, as expected, Mo Tuowen appeared on the panel.

But as the '+1' talent began to instill knowledge about the Motuo script, Xia Jian didn't even have a chance to react. He just felt a headache and then his vision went black as he passed out.

Xia Jian did not expect that this time it was more serious than the last time, and he actually slept for a whole week!

"This isn't a wizard's notebook, it's a book of demons!"

However, after this period of deep sleep, Natsumi now feels refreshed and energetic, completely different from the splitting headache she had experienced before.

'Gurgle...'

Just then, Natsume's stomach rumbled.

"Are you hungry? Eat up."

Seeing this, Valerie quickly instructed Johnny to move the table to the bedside.

Upon seeing the food laid out on the table, Xia Jian immediately began to wolf it down.

Xia Jian quickly devoured the large table of food and fruit, and then stopped after swallowing two fourth-generation pills.

After eating and drinking to her heart's content, Xia Jian felt much better and was just about to lie down and rest for a while when Phyllis walked in from outside.

"I'm glad you're alright."

Seeing that Xia Jiansu had woken up, Phyllis couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He was really worried these past few days, and he almost sent Xia Jian to the lord's mansion because Xia Jian suddenly fainted.

However, considering Xia Jian's identity and the desire for a better future, Phyllis ultimately gave up the idea.

After all, could someone who casually pulls out two pill formulas be an ordinary person?

Xia Jian had no idea what Phyllis was thinking, but he was genuinely grateful to her.

He had been wary of Phyllis, fearing that she would betray him and secretly report him to the city lord's mansion.

But plans can't keep up with changes, and I never expected to faint so suddenly!

People can laugh when they're speechless. Xia Jian's own experience perfectly illustrates the impermanence of life, and she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

"Natsumi, how about I find you a doctor to take a look?"

Seeing Natsume suddenly laugh, Phyllis wondered if Natsume had suffered brain damage from a fever.

"I'm not sick. The situation is the same as last time. It's just that I've been messing around with this wizard's notebook." Xia Jian pointed to the wizard's notebook on the bed.

Phyllis's expression turned somewhat strange, her eyes constantly scanning Xia Jian.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Xia Jian touched his chin in confusion. Could it be that he had become more handsome?

"Do you know what happened to me while I was out gathering information today?"

Phyllis stared intently at Natsumi, as if trying to discern something from him.

Xia Jian had been unconscious for two days, so how could he possibly know what was happening outside? He could only shake his head to indicate that he didn't know.

"Today I saw a notice outside the lord's manor. It says that the lord's daughter is in love with someone, but unfortunately the other party is a heartless man. So now they are asking for information about this person's whereabouts. A reward of a thousand gold pieces will be given as a token of gratitude if anyone can provide any information."

Phyllis was talking about the notice, but the way she looked at Natsumi was becoming increasingly strange.

Xia Jian originally thought they were talking about their wanted posters, but it turned out to be gossip about the lord's daughter.

This is truly astonishing. Someone would actually abandon the riches and honors of a lord's family and run away. Isn't living off a woman more appealing?

Noticing Phyllis's strange gaze, Natsumi sensed something was wrong and slowly widened her eyes: "You're not talking about me, are you?"

"If you don't have a twin with the same name, then this must be you."

Phyllis winked at Xia Jian, as if to say, "I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve, daring to flirt with even the lord's daughter."

"How could that be? I am..."

Xia Jian got a little anxious and almost blurted out that he was a time traveler.

"Regardless of whether it was you or not, the lord's manor is now willing to reconcile, but the condition is that you have to go to the lord's manor to apologize."

Phyllis sighed, pausing for a moment before continuing, "Moreover, there has been no attempt to capture us in the city, and even the knights who went out earlier have returned."

If Xia Jian hadn't woken up, he might have really given up on Xia Jian in order to gain the lord's forgiveness.

Listening to Phyllis's story, Xia Jian couldn't help but frown.

I don't understand if the lord's mansion is using a feigned retreat to lure them into a trap, or if they genuinely intend to reconcile...

But if you want to reconcile, you don't need to come up with such a lame reason, do you?

Moreover, he had taken something related to the wizard, and its presence in the lord's room was obviously extremely valuable; the other party would not give it up so easily.

However, luring them would require them to be in the city, but judging from the lord's actions, that seems a bit lacking. At least chasing them would definitely be more effective than this method.

Xia Jian was filled with questions, completely bewildered by the lord's actions.

After thinking it over, Xia Jian gave up the idea of ​​going to the lord's mansion.

"Let's wait and see. What if the city lord is setting a trap? That would be very disadvantageous for us."

Xia Jian looked at Phyllis and said in a deep voice.

What I need now is time. Once I reach the peak of a mid-level knight, or even a high-level knight, all those damn lords will have to kneel before me and obey my every command.

Phyllis nodded and patted Xia Jian on the shoulder: "Alright, anyway, normal food and drinks won't cost much, let's wait and see."

It's not a last resort yet, there's no need to rush out like this.

If there really is a problem inside, then I'm afraid I won't be able to escape even if I want to.
