Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines
Chapter 52 The Banquet
After everything was over, the wizards left, leaving behind only nobles who were still reluctant to leave and talented individuals who were about to embark on their journey to the Land of Wizards.
In the square, seven teenagers led by Wu Ke instantly became the focus of attention, with countless ardent gazes converging on them, and Wu Ke receiving a unique level of attention.
The value of a third-class talent is enough to make anyone flock to it.
"Young Master Wu Ke, I am Duke Noah of the Kingdom of Renault. May I have a word with you in private?" A middle-aged man dressed in a magnificent brocade robe stepped forward quickly, his face full of obsequious smiles.
"Mr. Wu Ke, I am Anna from the Kingdom of Aolai. The most luxurious banquet hall in Golden Manor is ready tonight. Would you be so kind as to have dinner with me?" A glamorous noblewoman followed closely behind, pulling at her chest as she spoke.
Wu Ke was stunned by the sudden shower of attention, his cheeks flushed red, and he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
He came from an ordinary background and had never received such treatment before. He felt that all he could hear were buzzing voices, and even his breathing became a little rapid.
Just as he was about to suffocate, Charlie squeezed through the crowd and stood in front of him, saying to the surrounding crowd, "We appreciate everyone's enthusiasm, but my friend has some personal matters to attend to right now. We hope you can understand and we can talk another day."
After saying that, he grabbed Wu Ke's wrist, forcefully pushed through the crowd, and strode quickly toward Yi Sha, who was not far away.
"Hurry up and go, or you really won't be able to leave!" Charlie urged in a low voice, but with a hint of amusement on his face.
Isa was already waiting to the side. Seeing Wu Ke's disheveled appearance, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The three of them quickly made their way through the noisy crowd and headed towards the outpost outside the city.
On the way, Charlie looked at Isha, who seemed a little down, and gently comforted her, "Isha, don't be sad. Once I've established myself in the Wizarding Continent, I'll definitely come back to see you."
"Who's upset?" Isha raised her chin, her eyes bright and resolute. "My dear brother, do you think I'm the kind of child who would cry over something so trivial? If you don't have the talent, you don't have it; it's nobody else's fault. You go be your wizard, and I'll stay in the kingdom and inherit the throne as queen someday!"
"Haha, that's a great idea!" Charlie laughed. "Future Queen Isa, don't forget to look after your wizard brother!"
Wu Ke also laughed, and most of his embarrassment and tension from before dissipated.
The three chatted and laughed as they walked toward their camp, gradually leaving the noise behind them.
They hadn't walked far when two figures emerged from the shade of the trees by the roadside and blocked their way.
Leading the group was a blonde, blue-eyed girl, none other than Princess Fina Carey of the Kingdom of Rand, the first to be detected as having a fifth-level talent.
She wore a fiery red dress, her features were exquisite and bright, her skin was as white as jade, and her big eyes were bright and lively, yet they revealed a sharp edge. Her tall and slender figure, coupled with her confident posture, made her extremely attractive.
Standing beside her was a purple-haired girl, pretty and charming, who was also a gifted individual.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Fina Carey," Fina said first, her voice clear and pleasant. "This is Laelna. Her family is the Ariar family, which controls the Golden Manor. You should have heard of them."
Charlie's heart skipped a beat. The Ariar family was a household name on the continent. He never expected that this seemingly delicate girl would have such a background.
He suppressed his smile and politely asked, "What advice do you two ladies have for me?"
"We wouldn't call it guidance," Fina smiled slightly, her tone becoming much more amiable. "We just want to get to know everyone a bit better. After all, in three days, we'll be traveling together to the Wizarding Continent, and we'll be companions from now on."
Lelna nodded in agreement, her smile sweet: "We apologize for the intrusion. Would it be possible for us to visit your residence for a while, so we can get to know each other better?"
Faced with two outstanding young women with remarkable looks and backgrounds, Charlie and Wu Ke had no reason to refuse, especially since they were friendly and would be their future companions.
"Of course, you're most welcome."
On the other side, Luo Kunlun had already returned to his post in the city. He walked straight to the center of the courtyard and picked up the Mo Yuan Greatsword leaning against the corner of the wall.
The sword flashed, and the jet-black blade drew sharp arcs in the air. There were no superfluous moves, only the purest power and speed.
The shockwave traveled along the sword, producing a slight hum, and each swing was accompanied by a whooshing sound, stirring up fallen leaves on the ground.
After practicing for half an hour, Luo Kunlun sheathed his sword and stood still, his breathing steady without the slightest sign of panting. He wiped the dust off the sword, his mind churning with thoughts.
"The Enlightenment Potion..." he murmured. "The wisdom potion Samuel mentioned, capable of breaking through the shackles of mortal ignorance and awakening extraordinary power—could it be this Enlightenment Potion?"
"Besides that, Meda also mentioned the Grand Knights, who are above the High Knights." Lo Kunlun's eyes narrowed slightly. "It seems that the Wizarding Continent is more advanced, and even the path of knights is much further ahead than that of the Volo Continent."
The scarcity of magic and materials limits the development of knights here, whereas the Wizarding Continent does not have these problems.
He already had a preliminary plan in mind: after arriving on the Wizarding Continent, he would first investigate the relationship between the Enlightenment Potion and the Wisdom Potion.
As for blood transplantation, it is a good option, but it is extremely dangerous.
Accepting a wizard's transformation is tantamount to handing one's life over to someone else; unless driven to desperation, Lokunlun would not take this path.
Just then, noisy footsteps came from the courtyard gate.
Luo Kunlun looked up and saw Charlie, Wu Ke, and Isa leading Fina and Lena in. Charlie's face was full of excited smiles.
"Quick! Go get some good wine and food, we're going to have a feast to celebrate!"
Charlie loudly ordered the servants in the courtyard, "This prince has talent, and Wu Ke has even more than third-class talent! This is a cause for great celebration!"
The accompanying servants immediately sprang into action. A junior knight named John quietly approached Charles and whispered, "Prince, shall we go into town and find some girls to liven things up?"
Charlie's eyes lit up, and he nodded quickly, but then, mindful of Isa, he whispered, "Of course! But we have to wait until Isa is asleep, so she doesn't find out."
The two exchanged a knowing smile that any man would understand.
Wu Ke then led Fina and Lena to Luo Kunlun, his face showing a mixture of excitement and shyness: "Mr. Luo, let me introduce you. This is Princess Fina, and this is Miss Lena. They are also talented individuals and will be traveling with us to the Wizarding Continent in the future."
Fina and Lena gave Luo Kunlun a standard greeting, their posture elegant. Luo Kunlun nodded slightly in acknowledgment, saying nothing more, his expression remaining calm.
But Fina and Lena had their doubts.
As they walked along, they noticed that the knights and servants at the camp all held this seemingly ordinary, tall man in genuine awe, and even Charlie and Wu Ke treated him with exceptional respect.
"Strange, isn't he just an ordinary guard knight?" Fina wondered. "Why is he receiving such treatment? Could he be a high-ranking knight?"
Lelna, however, disagreed.
Her ancestors were wizards, and she knew the difference between a knight and a wizard.
Knights are nothing compared to wizards. Even the most powerful knights on the wizarding continent can only briefly contend with mid-level apprentices and ultimately cannot amount to anything.
"Perhaps he is a high-ranking knight. After all, to be invited by a royal family to escort a prince, his strength must be considerable," Lena thought to herself, but she didn't take this to heart.
For her, only the path of the wizard was truly smooth; the power of the knight was nothing but fleeting smoke.
Luo Kunlun naturally noticed the two women's scrutiny, but he didn't take it to heart.
I sat down on a bench and quietly watched the busy crowd, my mind filled with anticipation and plans for the journey ahead.
