Wizard: I can predict the future

However, Nord guessed that it would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to kill the Strange Knight with the power of this ring.

With the speed of a legendary knight, it would be virtually impossible to burn the opponent for even a minute.

Otherwise, the White Moon Kingdom wouldn't have so readily agreed to his request after he demonstrated his legendary knightly prowess.

Nord did not accept the ring.

"Your Majesty's generous gift is too much for Nord to accept. Please feel free to speak your mind."

He understood that Ivan's late-night visit with Evan was definitely not to give him a witch artifact.

In the past, he was a vassal of the White Moon Kingdom's court, and he had to carefully consider everything the king said. But things are different now.

Ivan gave a kind smile.

"You and Evan will soon be heading to the Wizarding World. Once you get there, you'll realize that it's a much more dangerous place than you imagine."

"I am giving you this magical artifact in the hope that you can help look after Evan."

"Of course, this counts as one of the three actions agreed upon at the time."

Nord frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping across the two faces.

Duke Raymond had just entrusted Arya with his care, and now the King had entrusted Evan with his. He had a vague feeling that there were some inside stories he didn't know about.

"Your Majesty, why did you choose me?"

"Princess Vera possesses sixth-level wizarding talent; she should be more suitable than me."

"Count Nord, the strength of a legendary knight is no weaker than that of a third-level wizard apprentice. Once you officially become an apprentice, your strength will be among the top of the third-level wizard apprentices."

Ivan paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

"Besides, Princess Vera is a princess of the Obsidian Duchy, and the Obsidian Duchy has produced several wizards in its ancestors, so it is not lacking in such a magical artifact."

There was actually one more thing he didn't say.

The family's secret scrolls contain a little-known secret: anyone who can break through the limits of mortals and enter the realm of legendary knights through their own strength, and who also possesses wizarding talent, is a true knight.

Those who enter the wizarding world later on often go further than those who are simply gifted.

For over a thousand years, no one on the continent of Leman has broken through to the level of a legendary knight. Now, the other two legendary knights did not rely on their own efforts.

This is why he agreed without hesitation when Nord revealed his aura.

For the same reason, when the wizard Lilia learned that Nord had become a legendary knight, she chose to let Nord participate in the talent test and no longer pursue the matter of the destruction of the Nico family.

Nord did not refuse this time. He took the ring, which was cold to the touch and felt nothing at all, unlike the flames.

After all, this was an agreement between him and the Duchy of White Moon, and he would not break it without a valid reason.

Furthermore, Ivan only offered to look after them, not protect them. If they encountered something beyond his control, he could only pretend not to see it.

As he escorted the two away from the mansion, Nord felt a pang of sadness.

"The people who came with Lilia are all from families that have been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years on the continent of Leman. Their ancestors probably included wizards. They have a deep foundation and should not be underestimated."

He gently twirled the flaming ring on his index finger: "Luckily, I have a cheat code."

……

Over the next five days, the group passed through two more ducal capitals, and the number of wizard trainees in the carriage reached fifteen.

Inside the carriage, Nord was resting with his eyes closed.

Iria sat quietly beside him, while Evan and the other teenagers surrounded Vera, talking quietly.

From the outside, the carriage appears to be of ordinary size.

However, the interior of the carriage was a completely different world, nearly ten times larger than it appeared from the outside, clearly indicating that a special spatial magic had been applied inside.

The innermost room, separated by a curtain, is Lilia's private room. She rarely comes to the outer room except when she arrives in the royal city to take the talent test.

Although Nord had his eyes closed, he was fully aware of everything happening inside the carriage.

He overheard Evan and the others talking about rumors about wizards, as well as others flattering Vera.

The only thing that remains unnoticed is the room behind the curtain.

Although they were only a few steps apart, it felt like two different worlds.

Suddenly, Nord opened his eyes and looked up at the direction of the curtain.

It wasn't that he heard any noise, but rather that he sensed the change in airflow the moment the curtain was opened.

Lilia lifted the curtain and stepped out.

All the whispers vanished at that moment.

She slowly walked to the middle of the carriage.

"On the entire Leman Island, there are only fifteen of you with wizarding talent. When we arrive at the coastal port, we will stop and rest there while we wait for the giant ship carrying the mechanical floating island to arrive."

"At that time, the Five Academies Alliance will distribute the 'Three-Ridge Cone Guided Meditation Method' to you."

Lilia paused, her gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Vera.

"However, the Triangular Cone Guided Meditation Method is the most common meditation method. Although it is easier to learn, it is not as good as other meditation methods in terms of future meditation or even becoming a formal wizard."

As she spoke, she snapped her fingers, and a book suddenly appeared in her hand.

"What I have is a more advanced 'Hexagonal Prism Guided Meditation Method,' which not only guides magic faster and more steadily, but also accommodates more spell models."

Nord listened to Lilia's words without understanding what meditation was, only knowing that Lilia seemed to be trying to give everyone a better method of meditation.

However, he knew that there were no free lunches in the world, and every gift came with a hidden price.

Just as he was about to ask what meditation was, Vera asked the question for him.

"Lady Lilia, may I ask what meditation is?"

Nord sensed the confusion in everyone present and understood.

These people may have had shamans in their ancestors, but they don't know much about shamans. It's unclear whether the tradition was lost or whether information about shamans was not allowed to be passed on.

Lilia patted her forehead and spoke somewhat embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry, I forgot that you just had contact with wizards and don't know what the nature of wizards is."

After saying that, she raised her right hand and pointed to the teacup on the table.

With a gentle wave of her fingers, the teacup danced nimbly in the air, quickly passing in front of everyone before finally returning to the table.

"Just now, I used my mental power to guide magic and activate the levitation spell model, which made the teacup fly."

"The meditation method requires perceiving one's own mental power to construct a mental model, and ultimately enhancing one's mental and magical power through meditation. Generally speaking, one can only perceive one's own mental power and construct a mental power model when one's mental power reaches 2 points."

"As mental strength increases, the speed and magnitude of magical power aroused also increase, naturally leading to a greater ability to manipulate elements and even matter."

Lilia went on to explain the basics of wizardry and the details of meditation, then looked at Vera again.

"Vera, now you understand what meditation is, right?"

Normally, she wouldn't have gone into such detail.

But Vera possesses sixth-level wizard talent and a mental strength of 4.9, almost reaching seventh-level wizard talent. If nothing unexpected happens, Vera's future advancement to a formal wizard is almost a certainty.

Moreover, as long as these people sign the agreement and can repay the magic stones, they can voluntarily participate in his experiments.

In the Southern Continent, there wouldn't be such a good opportunity for someone like her, a first-level wizard apprentice who has been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time.

Seeing Vera nod, Lilia spoke again.

"However, the Hexagonal Prism Guided Meditation Method cannot be taught to you for free."

"Before that, I will tell you two truths about the wizarding world."

"The first principle is equivalent exchange. Both white and black wizards abide by this rule, but white wizards are more stringent in this regard."

"Secondly, knowledge is power. The more powerful a wizard is, the more knowledge he possesses. In the wizarding world, knowledge is not some ethereal wisdom, but the most direct and fundamental source of power."
