Early in the morning, the sun shone on the hunter's hut, and Al opened the door and walked out of the hut to begin his daily breathing practice.

It has been more than twenty days since Al returned to Linshan Town before, and during this time, Al has lived a very regular life every day, waking up in the morning and washing up and going out to practice breathing.

After finishing his cultivation and eating breakfast, Al would go hunting in the forest to save up enough money for the time he might need later, or to spend his time learning the various sorcery materials he had obtained.

Speaking of which, I have to say that John originally wanted to help Al financially, but Al didn't plan to use John's money, which made John unhappy for a long time.

As for the evening, Al naturally went to Grant Manor for dinner as agreed, and midnight was the time for Al to start practicing meditation.

In the past twenty days, Al has initially mastered the use of bloodline witchcraft and sorcery derived from crocodile teeth and boulders, and the use of sorcery-like 'stone skin magic'.

However, as far as the information obtained from the laboratories of the ancient wizards, the El had very little to gain.

One is that the principles of pharmacy and herbology are really very difficult to learn, and the time required is to memorize them in years.

The second is that Al has devoted a lot of energy to studying the Epic of Hull.

It's just a pity that Al hasn't researched any effective way to find the black pages hidden in the Epic of Hull.

Al even probed the thickness of the pages page by page, but found nothing.

Eventually, Al had to give up on finding the black pages hidden in the Epic of Hull for a while, and began to study other things he had obtained from the Ancient Wizard's Lab.

As for the two potions, 'Water of Ylang-Ylang' and 'Liquid Witch Elixir', Al has not been used so far.

Needless to say, the 'Liquid Witch Pattern Elixir' can make people gain the power of a full-fledged wizard, but its level of danger is something that Al has only seen in his life, so El naturally won't wait to use this potion.

And the 'Water of Ylang' El wants to wait until he is promoted to a mid-level wizard apprentice, as a big help to help him successfully step into a high-level wizard apprentice.

Al walked over to a small treehouse in the Snakeback Forest, where Al had secretly built in the forest for the past few years, and no one but Al himself knew about it.

During this time, in addition to meditation, Al would come here to study various wizarding materials.

Although the hunter's hut is very hidden, knowing that there are a lot of people there, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will suddenly go to find Al, in that case, it will be a trivial matter to affect Al's study and research, once the identity of El's wizard apprentice is discovered, then I am afraid that it will be endless trouble to greet Al.

As usual, he climbed to the treehouse built on a thick tree, and after closing the door, Al took out a small metal box and placed it on the floor of the treehouse.

The inside of the treehouse was rudimentary, with only a few simple hides and blankets in the corners of the treehouse, and nothing else.

Al sat cross-legged on the ground, then opened the metal box, and suddenly the three runes placed inside emitted a faint glow almost simultaneously.

This set of runes is the 'weather' rune in the two sets of runes that Al obtained, and this set of runes is composed of three runes: [Dark Cloud], [Tempest], and [Thunder].

The combination of the three runes, combined with the corresponding witch array, can affect the weather to achieve the purpose of artificial rain or snowfall.

Overall, this thing is like a kind of black technology, which can allow wizards to artificially modify the weather.

Of course, these runes are not the only ones that can be used, and if applied correctly, they can also unleash amazing powers, such as the way El recently researched the use of runes for one-time attacks.

This method has many drawbacks, such as being uncontrollable, and permanently destroying the runes used after use, but it can release the power that can kill and injure official wizards in an instant.

As time passed, the light in the treehouse dimmed, and by the time Al had lost some of his sight, he knew that it was probably getting dark, and it was time for him to go to Grant Manor for dinner.

Walking on the way to Grant Manor, Al pondered his future path as he walked.

The wizard's path Al must persevere, although Al now knows very well that his wizarding qualifications may not be so good, but Al is still determined to persevere.

From the beginning, Al was curious about what the world really looked like, and the wizard's path was the only way El felt it was possible for him to see the world as it really was, so he would definitely stick with it.

Therefore, after two and a half years, Al must go to find the wizarding organization that has come to collect people.

It is precisely because of this that at that time, Al must find a way to separate himself from the Grant family, otherwise once he really goes to find the location of those wizarding organizations to accept people, his identity will be exposed almost certainly, and then the entire Grant family will be affected by this, which is definitely what Al does not want to see.

Thinking of this, Al sighed a little helplessly, and stopped thinking about it for the time being.

Fortunately, there are still two and a half years to go, and the time is not very urgent, so Al is not in a hurry.

Divergent thoughts, Al kept thinking about some things that were not there, and soon he was in front of Grant Manor.

At this time, Grant Manor was completely in John's hands, and according to Al's knowledge, at least more than half of the attendants and maids were dismissed by John and replaced with new ones.

So now the attendants and maids in Grant Manor can be said to be extremely respectful to Al.

Under the service of the two maids, Al took off his cloak, washed his hands and face, and sat down at the table, waiting for the arrival of John and Hulan.

It didn't take long for John and Huran to sit down at the table, and Al's cheap brother Alan followed closely behind him to the table.

glanced at Alan, who smiled at himself, and then sat in his seat and was about to start eating, Al did not change on the surface, but the vigilance of Alan in his heart was infinitely magnified.

Al never believed that Alan would have any brotherly affection for his cheap brother, and if there was emotion, anger and hatred would be more appropriate.

What's more, he also killed his uncle with his own hands, and his mother drove him crazy, if Alan didn't hate him, Al didn't believe it.

But in this case, when Al returned to Grant Manor for dinner, Al immediately smiled at Al and showed kindness.

Maybe normal people will be wary at first, but as time goes by, they will slowly let down their vigilance.

However, Al is different, as Elle shows kindness to himself every day, Al becomes more and more wary of Elle in his heart.

Because Al knows very well that some hatreds are impossible to dissolve.

Once someone shows that they are smiling at hatred, there is only one possibility, that is, this person wants to paralyze your mind and vigilance, and wait until the critical time to give you a fatal blow!

Smiling at Alan, Al lowered his head and began to deal with the steak on the plate in front of him.

Al is still very satisfied with the dinner at Grant Manor, after all, Al himself is not a gourmet, and the most he can cook and eat is to be able to cook and not go hungry.

In the past, there were no conditions, and it was enough to eat something to fill your stomach, and whether it was good or not was another matter.

And now that he has eaten dinner at Grant Manor for more than 20 years, Al can be said to be more and more particular and picky about what he eats, but Al himself enjoys it.

After eating three steaks in a row, Al felt a slight feeling of fullness.

Slowing down, Al ate the fruits and desserts of the side dishes one by one, and finally put down the spoon in his hand with satisfaction, and took a small sip of the fruit wine in the cup.

Seeing Al put down the utensils in his hand, John knew that Al had eaten his fill.

Therefore, he wiped his mouth slightly and said, "Al, you will be seventeen years old next month, and you are only a year away from the legal date of majority.

So I want to send you to school to learn some cultural knowledge, after all, the current empire is not what it used to be, and cultural knowledge has gradually become a skill that can be matched with personal strength.

Therefore, I am going to send you to Solandar Middle School in the far mountain city for a few years, and then find a way to support you to the university to learn some top-level knowledge, which can be regarded as preparing for your future, I don't know what you think?"

Although the words were inquiring, the tone was affirmative, and it was clear that what John said was more than just thoughts.

As for Al himself, he looked at John with a strange look.

It's like a student who skipped a grade and went to college, looking at his father and saying to himself, I'm going to send you to a boarding high school.

Of course, Al didn't blame John for this, because he never told John that he had applied to Solangjoya University and was confident that he would be able to do so.

After all, Solangjoya University is an unattainable existence in the hearts of the people of the Holy Sword Empire, and even if Al says it, John will probably think that it is an excuse for Al to refuse to go to school.

And just as Al was thinking about how to politely reject John's idea, the middle-aged butler newly hired in Grant's Manor suddenly ran in in a hurry, with a happy face, which did not seem to be a bad thing.
