Chapter 728: Slank City
"I'm back. οΌΈβ
As soon as he stepped off the passenger ship, one of the caster's apprentices shouted excitedly, and even knelt down in excitement.
"Will, are you from this place?" asked Aaron.
The spellcaster's apprentice named Will nodded, and said bitterly: "This is my hometown, I have been away for more than ten years, but I am a waste, and I am still a spellcaster's apprentice, and I can't take them to live in Aoki City." β
Hearing Will's words, some of the other spellcaster apprentices also had gloomy faces, obviously similar to Will's situation.
Aaron shook his head and didn't say anything, this is the general situation in the world of spellcasters, people with good talents, or people with many resources, are of course smooth sailing before their potential is exhausted, but people with bad talents and no resources, just like Will, can't become a first-level spellcaster for more than ten years or even decades.
In the caster world, this kind of person is in the majority.
In fact, this kind of thing is the same in any world, no matter what industry.
However, this time the Aoki Forest gave a special exception, that is, if the caster apprentice has joined the Aoki Forest for more than ten years, even if he has not become a first-level caster, he can also bring his parents and relatives to the city of Aoki, but he can't bring too much, only his parents, siblings, nephews and nieces, etc., this is a reward for these caster apprentices, after all, there is no merit and hard work.
That's why Will is here.
Will is not from a big family, he is just a commoner, and the rest of his relatives have only one younger brother, so he can take his parents back without any worries.
Now that they know that Will is from here, the first stop for everyone is of course his hometown.
Soon, Aaron and his party came to Will's hometown, a small city called Slank, which was small but not simple.
Alan and his party did not hide their identity, so the nobles of this small city soon learned of their arrival and invited them over.
Slank City belongs to Duke Slank, and in this city, the Slank family is the biggest force, so Aaron and his party are sitting in the banquet hall of the Slank family at this time.
The servants were bringing out the delicate dishes and placing them on the marble table, and when all the dishes were ready, the Duke of Slank spoke respectfully, "Spellcaster Aryan, and all the casters, I am glad that you can come to Slank, Will Spellcaster, and welcome you back to Dauslank. β
Will looked at the old man in a robe, with all his hair and beard white, and said with some emotion: "It's been more than ten years, and everything in Slank City hasn't changed much, but you, Lord Duke, have all your hair and beard white, I remember when you left, you only had a few gray hairs." β
Hearing that Slank City has not changed, Duke Slank is a little embarrassed, because it means that Slank City has not grown any way over the years.
However, when he heard Will say that he was old, Duke Slank's eyes flashed a hint of gloom, and he said bitterly: "This is just a small city, of course there will be no changes, as for me, more than ten years have passed, and I am old~"
"yes, they're old. Will shook his head, his eyes flushed as he looked at his gray-haired parents.
"Alright, almost, we should go. After eating, Aryan put the glass down and spoke.
There is no Teal Academy in the city, and it was just cut last year, so there should be no spellcaster seeds, and if it weren't for Will picking up his parents, they wouldn't have come here at all.
Duke Slank was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Colin spellcaster, why don't you stay a little longer, I ......"
"Colin Spellcaster!"
Suddenly, a loud voice sounded, and Charlie, the son of Duke Slack, stood up, his face flushed, and said, "Excuse me, can you accept me as a disciple? I want to be a spellcaster like you!"
Charlie's chest kept heaving, and his eyes were full of longing as he looked at Aaron, as if a fire called ambition was burning.
"Charlie, ...... you" Duke Slank wanted to stop it, but he didn't know what to think, so he turned to look at Aryan and said: "Colin spellcaster, you see, Charlie is a very smart child, is he lucky enough to be your disciple?"
He had only been frightened by the legends of the caster before, and he had lost his sense of proportion, but now that he had reacted, his mind suddenly became active.
"Lord Duke, the others don't know, but you should know that becoming a spellcaster is not that easy. Aaron said lightly.
If Duke Slank's son really had the talent to become a spellcaster, he would have been in Aoki City a long time ago.
Duke Slank replied, "Of course I know, but Charlie has not tested it, and Colin Spellcaster you can test it." β
"It's not tested, what's going on?" Aryan glanced at Charlie, who was only a teenager, so how could he not have been tested.
Duke Slank smiled bitterly and said, "It's been many years since we've had a spellcaster here to test our talents. β
"No, what's going on?" Will spellcaster apprentice hurriedly asked, Aoki no Forest has not had a spellcaster seed from Slank City in the past few years, he thought that Slank City did not produce spellcaster seeds, which is very common, but listening to Duke Slank's words, this is not the case.
Duke Slank replied, "At first, there were spellcasters who came to Slank City to test their talents, but on several occasions they didn't detect any caster seeds, and then no one came here. β
"Then why didn't you send him to Teal Academy?"
"Although our Slank family has declined, we were once one of the four dukes of the Orlante Empire after all, and some people are staring at us all the time, and I dare not let Charlie be alone in other places. β
"Colin spellcaster, our family still has some legacy, and if you can take Charlie away, I can give you something that satisfies you. Duke Slank said.
"Well, but Duke, it takes self-control to become a spellcaster, and if Charlie has the qualifications to become a spellcaster, then we can take him, but if he doesn't, it's better for him to stay here. Aaron said.
Duke Slank's face froze, he didn't expect his words to be said for this part, Aryan actually still had this attitude, and after two or three seconds, he smiled and nodded, and said, "Of course, Colin spellcaster." β
"Charlie, come here. Duke Slank beckoned his son, and Aaron asked one of the spellcaster apprentices to bring out the crystal ball for the test, these spellcaster apprentices were supposed to be scattered to various countries in the region, but because of the good things they got along along the way, they all came with him when they heard that Will was going to pick up his relatives.
Charlie was just about to step over, but suddenly glanced at the servant next to him, gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Colin spellcaster, you are a benevolent person, so can you please help everyone in my Duke's Mansion test to see if they have the qualifications of a spellcaster?"
"Charlie!" Duke Slank scolded loudly with a sinking face.
"Duke, don't scare Charlie. Aaron waved his hand, not paying attention, knowing that this city had not had a spellcaster apprentice for many years, he had already decided to test the entire city, and of course these servants were among them: "Originally, I planned to test the entire city, and these servants are naturally counted among them, who said that servants can't be spellcasters, right?" β
"Will, this is your hometown, and I'll leave it to you. β
"Okay, Colin Spellcaster. βr
