Quiet, this was Edwin's first impression of following Rudolph to the black market. Although there are people trading, the sound is also controlled to the trading range.

Those who have never been here would never have imagined that the black market in Hall City is actually under the church.

"I can't think of it. Rudolph chuckled softly at Edwin.

"I can't imagine it. Edwin nodded, and followed him down the dark road, where each vendor had not too bright oil lamps, which seemed a drop in the bucket of darkness.

"Huh?" Rudolph seemed to see something, and walked briskly over.

The stall owner looked so thin that he was only bone, wearing a hawksbill mask, and when he saw the two of them approaching, "The real thing, no bargaining." The hoarse voice made Edwin uncomfortable.

"This wand. Rudolph said softly.

Edwin looked at the wand in Rudolph's hand, and it felt like a bland wooden wand.

The stall owner held out four fingers, and Rudolph put down his wand, shook his head, and went back to the next one.

"It's too expensive...... Do you want to bully someone who doesn't understand?" Rudolph took Edwin along the way to pick and choose and buy some magic materials, but the wand still didn't have a choice.

Still back to the original stall owner, Rudolph stretched out three fingers,

"For the last time. ”

"You won. The stall owner reluctantly wrapped his wand and handed it to Rudolph, who took out 30 gold coins, handed over the money with one hand, and delivered the goods with the other.

Edwin saw that the back of the stall owner's hand seemed to have a black moon printed on it,

"Black Moon ......," he thought, but Rudolph's voice sounded in his ears,

"Let's go, what are you doing?" he hurried to keep up with Rudolph.

Out of the black market, Edwin took off his mask next to Rudolph,

"Teacher, did you see that black moon?"

"See, it's better not to provoke these people, they are believers in evil gods other than the five gods. ”

"Faith in what?"

"Those who have the Black Moon mark on their bodies are Black Moon Cultists, and of course they believe in the Black Moon Demon God. "The two were already close to home when they talked.

"I'll give you a good look at this wand when I get home. ”

"I can't wait. Edwin jumped for joy.

Edwin got home and lit the oil lamp, and the cottage instantly lit up, like a warm home in the night. Rudolph put his wand on the bench,

"Edwin, come here. ”

Edwin leaned in, but wondered why Rudolph had given himself such a mediocre wand.

"Teacher, I think it's a bit ordinary. ”

"If you think you're using an ordinary wand, you're not going to be a great user. Wands do come in good and bad, but the user's abilities play a big role. ”

"Doesn't the Fundamentals of Magic say that the wand is the medium through which the user's own magic communicates with the outside world, as important as a knight's sword?"

"That's the difference between me and his philosophy. If the wand is broken, it can be replaced, and if the person's own ability is mediocre, no matter how good the wand is, it will not work. ”

"I see. ”

"And what I bought you wasn't from the magic materials specialty store in the city, otherwise I wouldn't have gone to the black market. ”

"Teacher, will there be a black market in Ansel?"

Rudolph nodded, "Where there are people, there is a deal." Don't interject, I'm going to activate it. ”

Rudolph grabbed the wand, and golden magic surged out of his hand, and the wand began to tremble slightly, and after a while, the wand stopped.

"Activation, in fact, is a process channeled by magic, and the wand itself is like an extension of the human organ. Rudolph tossed his wand to Edwin.

"From the moment you have your first wand, you're no longer an apprentice, try it. With that, he went to the second floor.

Edwin gripped his wand and felt his mana slowly gathering towards it,

"If you have enough proficiency in magic and an affinity with the outside world, you can cast spells without a wand......" he waved his wand, and in the blink of an eye, the kiwi in the cage was frozen, and he thawed him with flames.

"This kid should have the highest affinity for undead magic, ice magic, and possibly alchemy. Rudolph shook his head as he listened to the sound of ping-pong downstairs.

"His withdrawn personality really needs to be changed, he hasn't seen his mother since he was a child, his father is gone, and the rest of the people in Hall City are not familiar except for Antonia...... Anyway, he will have to rely on himself after that. Rudolph thought and fell asleep again on the chaise longue in front of the mirror.

And Edwin went to sleep with that wand after getting tired of fiddling......

When the red wind blows all over the earth

When people trample their faith under their feet

When the plague buries the dust of history with war

When deceit, lust and anger sweep over the sea

What can you do?

Willing to be a weed and go with the wind?

Or do you become a demon, struggling and roaring?

"This is not the future I want to see...... " Edwin cried out in the dream, waking up early in the morning.

In the communications department of the New Hall, a fat blonde man kept yelling at the people around him,

"Waste! It's all waste! Is Lao Tzu raising a bunch of waste?" as a patron of the newspaper, he is obviously qualified to scold.

"Anse El news, if my friends in the capital hadn't told me about it, what would you do? Do you think you have too much bread?" This fat man is the biggest bread supplier in Hall City, so he always talks about bread.

Several of the people who were scolded by him were red-faced,

"Sir, we'll add it in a hurry. ”

"Hmph! It's like hard work. ”

As a result, the news in the newspapers spread like a wind through the streets of Hall, and people were everywhere talking about it, even if they were not magicians, they wanted to see how spectacular it was.

"Did you hear that? The National Magician Examination will be the biggest ever. ”

"Of course, it is said that the top third of the members will be given the opportunity to study at the Kingdom Wizard Academy. ”

"Moreover, I have heard that the top ten will be rewarded by the king. ”

"There are really few magicians on the surface of our Hall City......

At Rudolph's house, Edwin, who had just woken up, was still in shock, so Rudolph handed him the new newspaper that came out today.

"Teacher, what is this?"

"The date seems to be a lot earlier, so get ready, we'll have to leave the day after tomorrow. ”

"How to get there? Ansel is so far from Lanxia County. ”

"The county already has a plan, and there will be an alchemy airship to pick it up. Rudolph groaned,

"Say goodbye to those who should say goodbye, and don't leave any regrets. ”

"Ang ......" Edwin was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

He's leaving...... I've only been here for a little more than half a year, and I'm going to leave again. Half a year ago, he was a grave keeper who didn't know anything, but now he has his own wand, inherited the ancient alchemy magic, and awakened the bloodline, although he doesn't know how to awaken again.

He went to look for Antonia, but her father told him that she was gone.

"Where did she go?"

"She left you a letter when she left. The blacksmith gestured to the folded piece of letterhead.

Edwin, I may have been on my way to Disraeli when you read this letter. I know you're reluctant to me, just as I can't bear you. But you're already a magician, and I'm going to try to catch up with you. Disraeli is the capital of Wintershire, and I'm going there to become a hunter, not a bounty hunter of that kind, but officially recognized. We'll definitely meet again in the future, and I wish Anse Air and his party all the best.

"Will she ever come back?"

"Probably. The blacksmith replied nonchalantly.

"Thank you for your help. Edwin walked out of the blacksmith's shop, the blacksmith's hammer clanging, "I hope you won't be mediocre all your life, or you won't be able to catch up with your beloved." ”

Edwin turned around and went to the Thunder Tavern again, it was still morning, and there weren't many people in the tavern.

"Old Bill, it's been a long time since I've come to see you. ”

"You kid has been a lot stronger than you used to be in the past six months. Old Bill laughed.

"Where's Christine?"

"She, she's long since left Hall, and she told me she was going to Eindhoven, the capital of the county, and who knows where she is. ”

"I'm leaving, too. ”

"Where?" said Old Bill, rubbing his beard and taking a sip of his wine.

"Anse Elle. ”

"Rudolph will take you there, you are now his apprentice, and you should go to that event. Hall City is like a place to retire, and Anse Air is the city you young people should go to. ”

"I'll come back to see you. ”

"Go, go, don't be pretentious. Old Bill chuckled and waved Edwin away.

As the massive fuselage landed on the outskirts of Hall City with a roar, Edwin realized it was time to go. Rudolph donned the robes that showed him as a magician, and Edwin followed.

Goodbye, Hall City.

Ansel, I'm coming.
