The carriage drove all the way, making a whining sound, and drove quickly down the flat avenue, and after passing through a dense grove, an imposing academy appeared.

Cizer followed the archmage down from the carriage, and as soon as he landed, his eyes could not be taken off the gate of the Holy Sword Academy.

The tall door wall, the cyan bricks, and the walls on both sides of the gate are also painted with countless complicated golden patterns. These magic formations supported the pale blue magic barrier that reached the sky, completely enveloping the entire academy, I don't know if it was an illusion, Cizer always felt that the six-pointed array above was slowly rotating, giving people an extremely heavy feeling.

"Let's go, don't look at it, the main entrance of the Holy Sword Academy is generally not opened, and all students have to enter through the side door. The Grand Magician knocked Cezel on the head, pulling him back from his sluggish expression.

Cizer reluctantly withdrew his gaze, sighing in his heart at the grandeur of the Holy Sword Academy, and at the same time rejoicing in his luck.

If I hadn't met that female knight, if it hadn't been for the badge she gave me, I might have to go to that "Grizzly Academy", right?

Following in the footsteps of the Great Magician, Cizer walked ten miles south before coming to the side gate of the Holy Sword Academy, where he met a mean-looking man unexpectedly.

"Hey, old fellow, I thought you would die alone in some corner, but I didn't expect you to come back!" The Great Magician and Cizer, who had just entered the side door, met a young man in leather armor in a blink of an eye, with a white long sword at his waist, and his left hand pressed the hilt, and he laughed as soon as he saw the Great Magician.

"Oh, I thought you were already being dismantled by the demons in the Night Castle, but you are still alive. The Great Magician did not show weakness, and did not hesitate to retreat in the face of the young man's ridicule.

The young man chuckled, then noticed Cizer standing behind the Grand Magician, with a strange expression on his face.

"Who is this little guy? Have you forgotten the rules of the Holy Sword Academy?" the young man's expression suddenly became serious, and the hand holding the hilt of the sword was clenched.

Cizer was a little frightened when he heard this, this Holy Sword Academy wouldn't have any rules of "non-academy students, enter and be killed", right? He glanced at the Great Magician's expression apprehensively, but found that the Great Magician was not moved in the slightest when he heard the young man's words, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw the great magician lowering his eyebrows, and said unhurriedly: "He is my disciple, I remember that the academy has not revoked my tutor qualifications, so according to the regulations, my disciple should be an elite student of the academy, and bringing him in is naturally within the regulations." Now, do you have any questions?"

The young man's face slowly changed from frivolous to stunned, and finally to irrepressible laughter.

"Hahaha...... Mentor Merlin, and you have accepted new disciples? Do you still think that you are the genius of the heavens that shocked the empire back then? Back then, you lost the favor of magic and became a mortal. It was the dean's pity for you that allowed you to enter the academy as a tutor, I thought that although you had lost all your magic power, you had a good knowledge and cultivated a few outstanding magicians, but what was the result?"

The young man laughed breathlessly, his hands clasped around his waist, his body trembling uncontrollably, and finally stood up straight, revealing a sneering look.

"As a result, the three magical geniuses you have cultivated have all become wasted like you! Even your daughter has left you! Because your son is among those three wasters, and I heard that he committed suicide! You really have the ability! Now you still want to teach another disciple? Do you want to teach a waste? Hahaha......

Cizer, who was standing behind Merlin, could clearly see that the hands he had hidden behind his back were tightly gripped, the green tendons on the back of his hands were exposed, and Merlin's face was also full of anger, and Cizer also captured the pain that flashed in his eyes.

It seems that the great magician also has his own troubles, and he can't fight back after being bullied like this. Wait, what did he just say?Grand Magician Merlin has a daughter!?

The first thing that came to Cezel's mind was the delicate sculptural face of the violent female knight, and the fiery red hair.

Quietly glanced up at the Grand Magician of Merlin, the pointed round hat he wore on his head perfectly concealed his gray hair, and his furrowed face did not look like a father in his forties or fifties, but like a grandfather in his sixtieth year.

If I hadn't been blind, Merlin wouldn't have been the father of the knightess, certainly not!, Cizer thought.

"Well, I don't have the time to make small talk with you, General Smith's forward troops have already set off, and I'm going to Castle Night to participate in this battle. When I save up some more merits, I will soon be a baron! I will definitely take good care of your disciple for you, hahaha......"

Taunting Merlin again, the young man laughed and walked out, the carriage waiting outside the door, slowly moving off into the distance with a sound of tapping.

Cizer looked at the ever-changing old face in front of him, and suddenly felt a little unbearable, pulled Merlin's sleeve, and comforted.

"Although I don't know what happened to your previous apprentices, things will always pass, and people will always see forward. At the very least, I'm grateful to you for bringing me to the Holy Sword Academy. ”

Cezel's words lit Merlin's dying candle, and hope reignited in his eyes.

He turned, slowly crouching down until he was as tall as Cizer. He looked directly into Cezel's eyes and said seriously, "You must have guessed that the female knight who gave you the badge has a little relationship with me. Originally, I wanted to introduce you to an old friend of mine, he is a good teacher, and he should be able to give you a lot of things, but now you have another choice......" Speaking of this, Old Merlin seemed a little unspeakable, maybe the blow from the previous three students was still there.

When he looked at the tangled look on Old Merlin's face, Cizer guessed what he wanted to say, and at this time he was very empathetic to say something that Old Merlin had not said.

"Be your student?" Cizer followed old Merlin's gaze and looked him in the eye, and he saw the shame, remorse, and glimmer of hope that old Merlin had seen when he heard him say this.

"Yes, that's right, you can also make me your mentor and you be my student. Old Merlin repeated.

However, Merlin soon fell silent, since his students lost their magic powers, no student was willing to choose him as a mentor, and his former friends gradually distanced themselves from him, even his son and daughter left him, and now, he was a real loner.

How could he have such a ridiculous idea? No normal person would make the latter choice, would he?

While old Merlin was alone in his sorrow, Cizer spoke.

"I want to be the most powerful knight in the entire Radiant Empire, can that friend of yours do that?"

Old Merlin was stunned when he heard this, he looked at Cezel's non-joking eyes, and replied: "He still has a knack for teaching knights, but it is unlikely that he can teach the most powerful knights...... Several of the strongest knights in the empire came from different academies, and some of them were even honed on their own on the battlefield and asked him to teach them...... Unlikely!"

"Can you teach, then?" said Cizer earnestly, and at this moment even the little lizard poked its head out of his chest, and looked at old Merlin with big eyes, as if asking, can you?

Old Merlin's eyes widened, and he found himself suddenly struck by a twelve-year-old boy's question.

Young and frivolous, everyone has had it, back then he Merlin also thought about being the most powerful magician in the empire, and even at that time he was not very far away from this goal, but then there was an accident, so he had to return to Helan City.

But when he saw such a firm obsession appear in Cizer, he seemed to see the shadow of himself again, but the young man in front of him was younger than himself, and his beliefs were firmer, and his future should surpass himself back then!

With that in mind, Merlin looked into Cezel's eyes and replied firmly and slowly.

"I can't guarantee that you will become the most powerful knight in the Empire, but I can tell you that I have the most powerful secret method in the Empire!

At this moment a breeze blew and stirred up the willow trees beside the road, and the willow branches swayed as if to tell something.

As old Merlin spoke, Cizer kept looking into his eyes, which were windows to the soul through which one could look into one's heart. At this time, Cizer saw only sincerity.

From today onwards, I will be your disciple, teacher. Cezel replied without hesitation, and then knelt respectfully before Old Merlin.

In fact, when he said that he had the most powerful secret method, Cizer had already decided that he wanted to cultivate the most powerful secret method and become the most powerful knight!

Old Merlin's vision suddenly blurred, he had forgotten how long it had been, it had been a long time since there had been such a person in his life who could move him.

The young man in front of him, he believes me!

Old Merlin had tears in his eyes, he hadn't felt what it was like to be trusted for a long time. Those who have never lost will not understand how precious the trust of others is!

Merlin gently wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, looked at the overdated and vigorous teenager in front of him, and smiled heartily.

"Cizer, from today onwards, you will be the only disciple of my Merlin Ambrosius. In the name of Carmelis, bless you from the ravages of darkness, the unknown unintoxicated, and luck and health always with you, my child. ”

Old Merlin pressed one hand on top of Cezel's head, and the other in the air, as if asking for something, and said prayers in his mouth, which looked quite sacred.

Cizer was just about to speak, when he suddenly felt a stream of heat sink from the top of his head into his body, disperse to the limbs of his body, and then disappear, no matter how Cezel perceived, he couldn't find the trace of that heat flow, as if everything before was just his illusion.

The little lizard whined at this time, and seemed to have encountered the same thing as Cizer, and its big eyes narrowed, and it seemed that it was enjoying it.

Old Merlin slowly withdrew his palm, lifted Cizer up from the ground, patted the dust on his body carefully, and then said.

"Let's go, I'll show you where you live, you'll love it. ”

"Good teacher. ”

One big and one small, one old and one young, the two figures walked together, and the sun poured on them, making them look slightly dazzling.
