My fiancée Yukino

Volume 1: Chapter 740 Departure, Aize and his apprentice (2/2)

The next morning, despite having drunk quite a bit, Luo Bai still woke up immediately.

Philon, who slept with me last night, also woke up around the same time.

I didn't stay in bed; after waking up, I rubbed my eyes and sat up.

Looking at the bright sunshine outside, Luo Bai smiled and said, "The weather is nice, get up."

After getting dressed, Luo Bai took Fei Lun outside, and after washing up, helped Hai Ta, who had also gotten up, prepare breakfast.

"As expected of the legendary monk who defeated the Demon King, he is so old, yet he drank all night and is still as good as ever."

Taking out the freshly baked bread, Haita smiled and said, "Haha, that's because the wine you brought was quite good. After a nap, I didn't feel anything."

After setting out all the prepared food, the three of them ate breakfast together.

After taking a bite of bread, Luo Bai looked at Haita and said, "I'll go pick up Mr. Aize later. I'll trouble you, Mr. Haita, to look after Philon and teach her some magic-related knowledge."

Haita smiled and nodded: "Of course, leave it to me. Although I am a monk, I was once a teammate of a powerful mage for ten years. I can teach you the basics without any problem."

"Thank you very much."

After thanking him, Luo Bai looked at Philon beside him and said, "Study hard this morning, and if all goes well, I'll be back before noon."

Unlike Frilian, who was traveling, the warrior Aize was at his own residence with a map, so Luo Bai only needed to go directly to his destination.

Philon nodded obediently. She was also very curious about magic, and now that she had recovered, she could officially begin her studies.

After finishing breakfast, Luo Bai flew into the sky under the watchful eyes of Haita and Philon, heading towards the Aize family's location.

"Is this the flight ability of another world? Compared to the flight magic of our world, it certainly has its unique features."

With a sigh, Haita looked at Philon.

"Well then, little Philon, it's time to start studying!"

Philon nodded vigorously, a serious look in his eyes.

"Yes, I'll do my best!"

Holding the map, Luo Bai determined the direction and immediately increased his speed, flying rapidly towards his destination.

In the sky, Luo Bai also encountered several giant bird-like monsters.

Upon seeing Luo Bai, these monsters immediately tried to attack, but Luo Bai easily defeated them with a single move, turning them into magical particles in mid-air.

"These monsters, like the demon race, will dissipate after death. Let's find an opportunity to study them properly."

　After taking down a giant monster bird that was over ten meters long, Luo Bai accelerated again.

An hour later, Luo Bai arrived safely at a wooden cabin deep in the mountains. In the open space outside, a dwarf was instructing a boy with short red hair on how to fight while wielding a wooden stick.

Sensing the presence above, Aize brushed aside his apprentice's wooden stick and looked up at the sky.

The red-haired boy stopped what he was doing and looked up at the sky.

"Huh? A magician?"

After Luo Bai landed, Aize's hand holding the wooden stick began to tremble slightly.

Luo Bai also noticed the reaction on Aize's hand and said with a smile, "Don't be wary, I'm delivering a letter to you, Mr. Aize, on behalf of Haita."

Then, Luo Bai took out a letter that Haita had written that morning from his pocket and handed it to Aize.

After glancing at Luo Bai twice, Aize reached out and took the letter, then opened it to read.

Looking at Aize's noticeably thinner arms, Luo Bai could tell that this dwarf warrior had already passed his prime.

However, his strength is still very strong. Even though the opponent did not make any moves, he still gave Luo Bai the feeling that there was no flaw. He was obviously a battle-hardened warrior.

While Aize was reading the letter, Luo Bai also looked at the red-haired boy beside him.

"You must be Mr. Aize's apprentice? Hello, I am Luo Bai."

The red-haired boy nodded: "Hello, my name is Shutark."

Looking at Hugh Tarek's hands, Luo Bai stepped forward and patted him hard on the shoulder. Hugh Tarek's shoulder was bent from the pat and he grimaced in pain as he said, "Not bad, looks like you've been trained very well. You have a bright future ahead of you."

"This kid is still a long way off."

Aize's voice came through; he had finished reading Haita's letter and confirmed that Luo Bai was a legitimate person.

Letting out a breath, Aize said, "Haita's getting old too. Let's go then. Mr. Luo Bai, how do you plan to take us there?"

"Just fly there. My flying magic is different from the ones here, so it doesn't consume as much energy."

Luo Bai took a blanket from his bracelet, cast a spell on it, and then stood on it.

"Let's go, let's head straight there, we can still make it back for lunch."

Aize nodded, picked up his axe, slung it over his back, and then jumped onto the floating blanket.

"Shutark, come up here quickly."

"Huh? Am I going too?"

Pointing to himself, Hugh Tarek quickly jumped up and sat down next to his master.

As Aize felt the magic carpet on his body, he said, "We can't leave you here alone. This time, we might have to stay in the Sea Tower for a while. Anyway, it's all about cultivation, so it's the same no matter where we are. Besides, we can get more supplies and food in the Sea Tower."

“I don’t really care.” Hugh Tarek looked at the accelerating magic carpet and asked curiously, “I can’t feel the wind while flying.”

Sitting in front, Luo Bai explained, "I used magic to isolate myself from the air currents caused by flying, otherwise at this speed, I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes open. Pay attention, I'm about to accelerate!"

As soon as they finished speaking, Aize and Shutark felt their speed increase even further, and they were both startled.

Looking at Luo Bai ahead, Aize praised, "Excellent magic power, but I've never heard of a mage like you before."

Luo Bai said with a smile, "Because I come from another world, didn't Mr. Haita mention that in his letter?"

"I see, another world, huh? That makes it no surprise."

Shutark, standing to the side, looked at his master in surprise: "Are you alright? This is another world! Master, how can you be so calm?!"

"What's so surprising about that? I defeated the Demon King with Simmel and the others, something I would never have dared to dream of before. Having accomplished something like that, it's not surprising that someone from another world suddenly appears, is it?"

"...It seems there really isn't a problem."

Scratching his hair, Hugh Tarek sighed, feeling like he couldn't quite keep up with his master's thought process.

Volume 1: Chapter 741 Philon's Introduction (1/2)

The flight was very fast. When Luo Bai returned with Aize and his apprentice, it was not yet lunchtime.

After landing, looking at the houses, Aize said, "It's been several years since I last came here."

Sensing the faint magical fluctuations in the room, Luo Bai knew that it was Philen meditating on magic, and then said to the two of them, "Let's go, Mr. Haita is inside."

Pushing open the door, the three entered the house, where Haita was already waiting in the living room.

Upon seeing his friend, Haita happily walked over, squatted down, and hugged Aize: "It's been so long, Aize, you're still the same."

A smile also appeared on Azera's face, which was hidden by his long beard.

"You're the same, you're a hundred years old and still very active."

"Haha, this is the benefit of having faith in a goddess!"

After laughing heartily twice, Haita looked at Shutark and said, "You must be Shutark. Aize mentioned you in his letter. Welcome to visit. I'm Haita."

"Hello, Mr. Haita."

He was still very polite to Haita.

After greeting the two, Haita looked at Luo Bai.

“That boy, Philon, is very talented. He's already in a meditative state in his room. Go and take a look.”

"Okay, thank you. I won't disturb you and your friend's reunion any longer."

Upon entering the room, Luo Bai saw Xiao Philon sitting on the bed with her eyes closed, her body faintly radiating magical energy—a sign that she had already entered the first stage of cultivation.

Sitting down in the chair, Luo Bai didn't disturb Philon, letting her continue her meditation.

Fifteen minutes later, Philen finished his first meditation after entering the practice and opened his eyes to see Luo Bai sitting in front of him.

"elder brother!"

Luo Bai stood up with a smile, patted Philon's head, and asked, "How was the meditation?"

Philon nodded, got off the bed, and said, "I can feel the magic, a very special feeling."

"I can already see the magical energy emanating from you, although it's still very weak. But for you, this is an incredibly fast pace of learning. Philon is a genius!"

Hearing Luo Bai's praise, a hint of joy appeared in Philon's eyes.

"Now that the meditation is over, let's go out and see the warrior Azer and his apprentice."

When the two came out of the room, Haita was already sitting in the living room with Aize and Shutark, drinking tea and chatting.

Seeing Luo Bai bring Philon with him, Aize observed him for a moment and then asked, "Who is this child?"

Luo Bai introduced, "My adopted sister, Philon, was rescued by my family when she was being chased by demons. She just started learning magic today."

"You've mastered the basics right from the start; you have a remarkable talent."

After praising her, Aize looked at Luo Bai and asked, "Are you also planning to go find Frilian? Although I, like Haita, roughly know her route, it's still quite troublesome to find her."

"It's alright, I'll go out again this afternoon, I should be able to find it. I'm also quite sensitive to magic."

Finding a mage who lives alone in the wild shouldn't be too difficult.

Luo Bai was also quite curious about Frillian, the elven mage who, like himself, liked to conceal her power, as Haita had mentioned.

From his conversation with Haita last night, Luo Bai learned that for magicians in this world, magic power is a symbol of strength, and they do not deliberately suppress their own magic power.

Frillian, on the other hand, has always suppressed and hidden her magical power throughout her long life, making people think that she is just an ordinary magician.

Haita himself felt the same way. When they first met, he discovered that Frilian's magic power was only one-fifth of his own. Combined with Frilian's identity as an elf, Haita thought that her strength was average.

But in the end, it was the brave Simmel who insisted on inviting the other party to join the team.

Later, Haita truly understood Frillien's strength, which was far greater than he had realized.

While it was incomprehensible to a mage to conceal her magical power like Frillian did, Luo Bai quickly understood her method.

That would be able to fool the demons.

Demons are very proud of their magic and power and never choose to hide it.

By concealing her true strength, Frilian, as the enemy, can deceive the demons' judgment, thus gaining a decisive advantage in intelligence and easily defeating them through this intelligence gap.

Luo Bai greatly appreciated this approach.

Luo Bai disdained that kind of behavior of constantly exposing one's power, as if wanting the whole world to know, and saw no need for it at all.

Exposing all your strength undoubtedly gives the enemy an opportunity to analyze you, which will truly reduce your chances of winning.

Therefore, even though Luo Bai himself is already very strong, he still chooses to hide his strength and never expose it when it is not necessary.

Even so, the strength that Luo Bai has shown is enough for him to travel freely in the worlds he has so far.

As for Frillie, who also concealed her magic, Luo Bai was quite curious about her true strength as an elven mage who had lived for over a thousand years.

Haita glanced at the time and stood up with a smile: "It's almost time. We can start preparing lunch. The ingredients and supplies I had prepared should arrive soon."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of a carriage came from outside.

After everyone came out, they saw a delivery carriage parked in the open space. The driver got off and unloaded a long package and a large wooden box.

"Lord Haita, here is everything you wanted."

After opening the box and glancing at the various ingredients inside, Haita nodded in satisfaction and took out a money pouch from his pocket, handing it to the local official.

"Thanks for your hard work."

After the carriage left, Haita placed the long package in front of Philon.

"Although I also think you won't really need this, I don't have anything else to give you. It can still be of some help when you're initially learning magic, so consider it a gift for your introduction to magic."

Looking at the package in front of her, Philon did not take it immediately, but instead looked at Luo Bai beside her.

Luo Bai smiled and nodded: "Take it, and remember to say thank you."
