Marcus leads Aaron all the way deeper inside the ship.
When the two of them walked through the first passage and came to the central hall, many witches were already waiting in the hall, and when they saw Aaron, they all bowed their heads and greeted the leading wizard.
"Lord Wizard, Gui'an. β
"Master Wizard, may your will and elements endure. β
"Wizard ..... Second..... Aaron?!"
In the midst of a burst of flattering greetings, a familiar female voice suddenly sounded, and Aaron followed the voice, only to see Sophia and Daisy looking at Aaron in surprise, obviously, they did not expect the two sides to meet in this environment.
The other wizards next to him saw this scene and looked at Sophia and Daisy with envy.
These wizards are all people who are preparing to leave the wizarding continent permanently, and they are not qualified to travel back and forth between the open sea islands and the wizarding continent at will like wizards. Once they get on the ship and leave, unless they are so appreciated by a wizard that they make an extra token to carry with them so that they can use it when they get on the ship in the future.
Otherwise, even if they are a phantom witch, they are not qualified to return to the wizarding continent - after all, the carrying capacity of the cloud elephant whale is limited, and if every wizard has to go home to see, the enrollment action will become a spring luck.
Duke Charles, who once guided Aaron to the path of wizards, is also a person who chose to leave the wizarding continent permanently.
They are all low-level wizards with no hopeless future, tired of the strife in the wizarding continent, and have decided to go back to the Forsaken Islands to become a 'Yugong'. At the same time, they lose hope of moving forward and pay more attention to the 'favor' aspect - Sophia and Daisy, who have a relationship with a young wizard, should be the object of their envy.
Building a good relationship with a young wizard means a long-term 'token'.
The main reason why they gathered in the hall to greet each other was also to establish a good relationship with a leading wizard, but they didn't expect the other party to be so young and completely beyond their imagination - which also made them envy the two witches even more.
"Sophia, Daisy?"
Aaron recognized each other as the two witches who had boarded the Forsaken Islands with him, also under the same academy in the Misty Swamp, and both were part of the Misty Academy.
However, Aaron boarded the ship in Stormwind City, but the other party boarded the ship in the Misty Swamp, and because the target location was the same, both sides ended up on the same boat.
"It turned out to be you, but I didn't expect you to get on this boat. β
When he met an old friend in another country, Aaron was naturally in a good mood, and pointed to the table next to him with a smile: "Sit down, let's talk together." β
The two sides met by chance, but they really had a bit of a wonderful feeling of fate playing tricks.
The two witches sat down opposite each other, and Daisy couldn't help but speak first: "Aaron, I didn't expect to meet you here, by the way, why did you take on the task ........of leading the wizard?"
As she spoke, Daisy couldn't help but glance at Aaron's face, and said with a slightly red face: "Obviously you are very young, obviously not going back to retire, why waste time on this kind of thing?"
At this point, Marcus playfully brought three cups of hot gallons and a bunch of desserts on the table for Aaron and the two girls to serve as snacks for the tea party. Marcus and the other wizards then quietly exited the central hall, leaving a separate space for the three of them.
Aaron took a sip of the hot gallon, and instead of answering directly, he asked, "Aren't you also on this boat to the Forsaken Islands?" You are about the same age as me, not those old witches who are over 30 years old themselves, and their physical condition is declining and they have lost the opportunity for promotion. β
"So, why are you going back?"
Sophia smiled bitterly and shook her head: "The possibility of our promotion is too small, Daisy is only a fourth-class qualification, and I am only a third-class qualification, a person with a qualification like ours is basically a lifetime of witch life, and there is not much hope of continuing to stay in the wizard continent." β
Daisy next to her also sighed: "Yes, not only does it not have much hope to stay in the Wizard Continent, but it also takes a great risk to safety." As you know, we were forced into an academy war, and we survived and got our lives back - in fact, we were just trying to live a good life. β
"However, the situation in the academy is getting worse and worse, and the molten lake is constantly attacking the outgoing personnel in the Misty Swamp, so that the casualty rate of the current students is terrifying, and none of the students dare to take the mission. β
As she spoke, Daisy glanced at the black robe on Aaron's body, and there was a hint of envy in her eyes that couldn't be concealed: "In this case, wizards can choose to live in the academy and rely on the witchcraft resources produced by the academy itself to maintain their cultivation. However, we ordinary students don't have this treatment, and if we want to compete for resources, we have to fight with our lives..........."
"Hey!" Sophia also sighed: "We found that if we continue to stay in the Wizard Continent, not only do we have no hope of promotion, but we also have to face a severe living environment, and if we don't pay attention, we will die in the mission, this kind of life is really tiring!"
Sophia looked at Yalu and spread her hands helplessly: "I discussed with Daisy and decided, let's just go back to Yuelun Island together - we will be witches for a lifetime anyway, instead of staying in the wizarding continent and risking our lives, it is better to go back to Yuelun Island to be a nobleman with a comfortable life!"
Indeed, low-qualified students like Sophia and Daisy have very little chance of being promoted to become official wizards in the future, and continuing to stay in the wizarding continent is full of risks.
The last Academy War was able to survive, but the next Academy War is uncertain, and the ghost knows when the wizards, who were cannon fodder, were killed by a grenade-like ring of witchcraft
"Your choice makes sense, you gave up your goal of becoming a full-fledged wizard, but in exchange for a stable life for the rest of your life. β
Aaron nodded slightly, understanding the choice of the two, but disagreeing in his heart-
The wizard is a path to eternity, and if Aaron didn't know, it would be fine, but now, he has come into contact with the wizarding path and sees a glimmer of his own possibility leading to eternity..........
How could he have given up?
Giving up an eternal path for a brief period of stability?
This kind of action is obviously a lack of courage, and it is just a slow death.
Aaron definitely didn't want to be a man waiting for the end of his life, but to grasp that eternal hope.
At this moment, he finally clearly realized the biggest difference between himself and Sophia and others.
"By the way, Aaron, why do you want to go back to Yuelun Island?"
Sophia re-raised the question, and Aaron was silent for a moment before replying-
"I'm going to keep a promise. β
With that, he turned and left the central hall, leaving only a word for the two witchesβ
And, take someone with you on a quest for eternity. β
