Sixth Ring Wizard

Chapter 26 The Moment of Parting

The red-haired man was likely there to wait for a boat near Swan City.

Herag felt a little relieved after hearing what Claude said. The red-haired teacher probably didn't have much time left, and it was uncertain whether he was still alive. He shouldn't have to worry about anyone seeking revenge.

"I'll let you know as soon as there's news about the ship. In the meantime, focus on your studies. Although I don't understand wizards, the wizards I've visited are all very knowledgeable. Knowledge is always the sharpest weapon." Claude's eyes were full of nostalgia as he spoke, as if he were reminiscing about something.

Claude said somewhat apologetically, "Although I am your teacher, I actually benefited from this situation. I have some selfish motives; I hope you can take care of my descendants in the future."

Herag laughed and said, "Teacher, there's no need to say that. You've helped me, and I will naturally take care of your descendants to the best of my ability. You have to pay the price for what you want to gain; that's the price, and I understand."

"Hahaha!" Claude laughed loudly. "You are indeed very suited to be a wizard."

……

Time flies, and three months have passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past three months, Hrag has spent most of his time in the Northentan College library.

Every book in the library was recorded by Deep Blue. Herag first had Deep Blue scan and input each book, and then selected the ones he wanted to read from these books.

Regarding the starry sky meditation method, the second star has been successfully meditated, and the third star is now being meditated.

"Hrag Merlin: Strength 2.1, Agility 1.7, Constitution 2.9, Spirit 4.6, Magic Power 100%."

After successfully meditating on the second star, my physical stats, such as strength, also increased slightly.

Herag discovered that the Starry Sky Meditation Method does not increase mental power by one point for each star, or by 1.1 for each second star, and the subsequent increases should be greater, but it also takes more time and becomes increasingly difficult.

The one meteorite grass was used up, and Cloud later used his connections to find two more, but he never found any more meteorite grass after that.

Herag was helpless; these things couldn't be rushed, and the resources on the Coulson Continent were indeed too scarce.

Emil, along with Jimmy and others who initially followed him, formed a mercenary team. After successfully completing a few missions, they gained some fame, and the team gradually grew in size, now having over sixty members.

Melissa said that when the opportunity arises, they will be able to form a caravan. Emil and his group have enough military strength to run a trade route without any problems and can make a lot of money.

Everyone was busy with their own things during this period, and Helag had less and less contact with them.

For some reason, Herag felt that ever since he demonstrated a fireball, Jimmy and the others, including Melissa, had shown him some awe, or rather, fear.

Although they seemed normal to themselves, Herag could still sense a hint of fear lurking in their hearts.

Emil remains as honest and straightforward with Hrag as ever, but lately he has clearly shown signs of fatigue, with a touch of the weariness of life on his face.

His strength has improved a lot recently, and Herag estimates that Emil has a chance to break through to the level of Grand Knight.

Herag once believed that the Great Knights were the pinnacle of combat power in this world, until...

"Baron Buck concealed his father-son relationship with Emil, and even Emil himself was unaware of it. He must have had some ulterior motive, but..." Herag sighed. Whatever Baron Buck's purpose was, it all vanished with his death.

Helag's peaceful days were shattered on this day at the very beginning of spring when news came from Claude that the ship would arrive at the port of Swan City within five days.

Swan City has a very large port, which is the largest port in the entire Coulson continent due to its advantageous geographical location.

There were many ships coming and going at the port. Claude, despite his advanced age, personally came to see Herag off, with Melissa and Emil supporting him from the side.

"Teacher, you really didn't need to come," Herag said with a wry smile.

Claude smiled kindly and said, "You're still young, you don't understand. Once you leave, we probably won't see each other again in this lifetime. It's nothing to walk a few more steps."

"Hrag just needs to come back and visit often, teacher. You're in great health!" Melissa said from the side. She's grown into a very womanly woman, and you can't tell she was a girl anymore.

Just a month ago, Melissa confirmed her pregnancy, but it's not very noticeable yet as her belly isn't showing.

The couple held a simple wedding ceremony, with a group of people having a casual meal. The impoverished nobleman couldn't afford a grand affair.

"You don't understand. The wizarding world is different from ours. The time they spend conducting an experiment might be enough for an ordinary person to live a lifetime. Moreover, a voyage across the ocean is not easy, and they won't be able to return in a short time," Claude said with great emotion.

Emil patted Herag on the shoulder: "Don't forget us, kid. I don't care if you're a wizard or whatever, in my heart you'll always be that kid who's been practicing his sword hard in the training ground."

"Yes, I know." Herag recalled the time when he learned swordsmanship and breathing techniques, and felt quite emotional.

"You'll be our child's godfather, so remember to take good care of him after you become a noble wizard," Melissa said to herself, touching herself.

Herag nodded: "It's a pity I won't be able to see him born. I'll write to you after I settle down over there, so let's keep in touch."

"The ship is here," Claude said suddenly, gazing at the horizon.

Everyone looked up and saw a ship speeding forward where the sea met the sky.

At first, they didn't think anything of it, but as the ship got closer, Hrag and the others realized that it was much larger than ordinary ships.

The ship has five decks, and its outer skin is covered with a strange metal of unknown material, which emits a dark luster.

A dozen or so sailors were standing on the deck, busy pulling up the sails.

Herag discovered that there were at least five knight-level experts among these sailors.

The ship sailed into the harbor and came to a stop. The sailors then began unloading the cargo, and it looked no different from an ordinary merchant ship.

Claude explained, "This ship belongs to a wizarding organization on the continent of Karag, primarily responsible for trading and making money. Their ships are sturdy enough to navigate dangerous waters. Their crew is very strong, and they even have a certified wizard on board, which is enough to handle many situations. Therefore, their merchant ships can travel to very far places to buy and sell goods and make a lot of money, after all, wizarding organizations also have considerable expenses."

"And transporting you wizard apprentices is just a side thing; it doesn't matter if we bring you along or not."

Herag noticed a person wearing a black hood standing at the bow of the ship. This person had a very impressive aura and a strong magical presence.

Deep Blue also issued a warning: "High-energy magic source detected!"

"It seems he is the ship's official wizard," Herag murmured to himself, gazing at the man.

The man seemed to sense something, turned to look at Helag, then walked down the gangway and approached Helag.
