Chapter 2: The Last Chance
In fact, for Roger, who has become a great knight, the existence of wizards is no longer as mysterious as in the eyes of ordinary people, so he has learned that the so-called wizard talent test is, to put it bluntly, to detect whether a person has a spiritual sea.
If there is, it means that you have the talent to become a wizard, and vice versa, it means that you do not have it.
On the other hand, the initial size of the spiritual sea is used to distinguish the level of a person's talent, and by distinguishing the size of the spiritual sea, the talent can be divided into four levels: third-class talent, second-class talent, first-class talent, and super talent.
Like Oliver, who was not only found to have wizarding talent, but also second-class talent, was recommended to a real 'wizard master' by the wizard apprentice who tested the qualification in the Leighton Kingdom back then, and became a disciple of that 'wizard master'.
Soon after Roger was promoted to Grand Knight, Oliver also returned from his studies and became a mid-level wizard apprentice, one rank higher than the wizard apprentice who was invited by the Leighton Kingdom to test his talents.
I have to say that Oliver, a childhood friend, is still very interesting, after seeing Roger after so many years and not giving up his dream of becoming a wizard, he immediately told his mentor about Roger's situation and asked him if Roger really had the possibility of becoming a wizard.
Oliver's mentor, that is, the real 'wizard master', did not beat around the bush, and gave a clear answer very directly: "Born without a spiritual sea, it is not without hope of becoming a wizard, if there is a superior wizard who is willing to make a move, it is completely possible for a person to forcibly open up the spiritual sea." ”
But at the same time, Oliver's mentor also bluntly told Oliver that even if he wanted to ask a 'superior wizard' to help, it was almost impossible, and he didn't say anything more, because both Oliver and Roger could understand the meaning of the words.
Although they can't fully understand what kind of existence the 'superior wizard' in the mouth of Oliver's mentor is, even the real 'wizard master' like Oliver's mentor does not have this face, and Roger, the great knight, may have even more difficult face, after all, in front of a real wizard, the great knight is just a mortal.
Roger got the answer he wanted, he was born without a spiritual sea, and he also had a chance to become a wizard.
But there is not much difference between this kind of opportunity and whether it is there or not.
At least that's what Oliver had always thought, and he had advised Roger more than once not to spend all his energy on this almost impossible thing, until the other day-
Things have taken a turn for the better!
Therefore, Oliver asked the same question again, and when he heard Roger still affirm that he would never give up, Oliver finally couldn't hold back and said the words that he had been holding back for a long time: "Roger, in fact, the main reason why I asked you to come back this time is not to celebrate my 100th birthday, but because ...... Your chance, here!"
"Opportunity?" Roger raised an eyebrow, a little unsure of what Oliver meant.
For him, who is already at the pinnacle of the knight's career, even if it is the throne of the king, it is not much of a chance, and Oliver must be clear about this.
"Yes, opportunity!" Oliver had an excited expression on his face again, no longer appetizing, "The mentor sent me a message that a big man's 'witch pet' somehow came to our side, and you know that it is very difficult for a real wizard to come to our side, so the big man sent a message, if anyone can find the 'witch pet' for him, he will not be stingy with the reward......"
"Big shots. Roger pondered Oliver's words for a moment, and then, as if he had thought of something, he asked in disbelief, "Is that big man ......?"
"Superior wizard!" Oliver said categorically.
Quiet, eerily quiet.
Roger didn't know what to say, just patted Oliver on the shoulder.
It's all in plain sight.
He couldn't remember how long he had been waiting for this moment.
Roger also asked himself why he was so obsessed with becoming a wizard because he was afraid of death?
But for some reason, as he grew older, the reason why he wanted to become a wizard gradually changed, he was no longer afraid of death, but he didn't want to die like this.
To paraphrase a phrase from a previous life...... The world is so big, he really wants to see it.
After calming his mood slightly, Roger thought of a question and asked, "The witch pet of the superior wizard, can we catch it?"
Roger knows very well that anything that has anything to do with wizards will not be simple, not to mention that this matter also involves a high-ranking wizard that even Mentor Oliver has to look up to.
Oliver shook his head and said: "Don't worry about this, the mentor said that the big man's witch pet doesn't seem to have any combat power, besides, the big man also gave him an alchemy witch tool that can sense the breath of his witch pet, and anyone who has a heritage can get this news will have a copy." ”
"How can we help him get his pet back?" Roger asked after a moment's thought.
"Needless to say, of course, it only counts when it is handed over to him by hand. Oliver wondered why Roger would ask such a simple question.
"I see. ”
Roger nodded knowingly, pondered for a moment, and then pointed to the front hall and said to Oliver: "I'd better accompany you to greet your guests first, it's almost time to start, and we will talk while eating." ”
Oliver was stunned by Roger's sudden change of topic, and it took a while to react, and he said angrily: "When is this, how can I still pay attention to them, it is important to find a witch pet!" The mentor was summoned to me last night, presumably everyone else has already started to act, what if you don't hurry up and be found first!"
Seeing him like this, Roger couldn't help but smile and asked, "Even if we look for it now, are you sure that we can find it before the others?"
"Who can be sure of this? The alchemy witch tool given by that lord can only sense the witch pet within a radius of five hundred miles, and whoever finds it first still depends on luck. ”
"That's it, since I'm not sure, what's the hurry. Roger chuckled.
"Hey, hey, I said, old man, what's wrong with you today!" Oliver's eyes widened, and he stared at Roger tightly, "This is the opportunity you've been waiting for all your life! If you miss it, you won't be able to encounter this kind of opportunity again in your life, don't you understand?"
"yes, this is my last chance, of course I understand. Roger nodded in agreement, sighed and said, "It is precisely because this is my last chance that I will not allow any accidents......"
"There's no good or bad luck, and there's no uncertainty about it. ”
"This witch pet can only be handed over by me. ”
Roger's voice was not passionate, even a little calm excessive, but as an old friend who had known him for so many years, Oliver knew all too well what his tone meant.
It's imperative!
Oliver himself is also an extremely intelligent person, but because of his excitement, he didn't react to some things, and it wasn't until he saw Roger's determined look that he suddenly understood.
"You mean...... Interception?" Oliver asked tentatively.
"Is there a safer way than that?"
Oliver was momentarily speechless.
He also reacted under Roger's suggestion, this is indeed the safest way, because no matter who catches the witch pet of that big man, if he wants to send it to the other party, he must go through the 'Teleportation Witch Array' to achieve this purpose, and there is only one 'Teleportation Witch Array' from the mainland to the outside world!
In other words, if you stay near the 'Teleportation Witch Array', no matter who you are, as long as you take that witch pet to within 500 miles of the 'Teleportation Witch Array', you will not be able to get rid of the tracking!
No wonder Roger asked before how to get the witch pet back.
"This guy didn't even think to look for it himself. The corners of Oliver's mouth twitched, and a chill ran in his heart...... This old friend of mine is really decisive, which makes people a little scared.
In fact, if Oliver was given a little more time, he would have figured this out, but he would never have been able to see through this in such a short period of time like Roger and make the most correct decision.
The reason for this is because the experiences of the two are different.
For so many years, Roger has been running around for his wizarding dreams, hoping to save a fortune that will impress those big names, and for this, he has experienced too much.
In terms of twists and turns, Oliver's experience combined is not as good as a tenth of Roger's.
"Let's go, your guests should be in a hurry. Roger laughed.
"Okay, okay, you're up to you. ”
............
Two days later, in the evening, in the Tunguska Mountains in the south-of-continental region.
Roger and the others, dressed in civilian clothes, were riding along a trade road in the Tunguska Mountains, speeding quickly, until they encountered a large caravan in front of the trade road, and then slowed down.
If nothing else, the caravan walking in front of them was heading in the same place as the two of them.
The City of Freedom.
Located in the heart of the Tunguska Mountains, this unowned city, which is not part of any country on the mainland, has its headquarters in the city with many large chambers of commerce, making it the most prosperous commercial city on the continent, nicknamed the 'Gold Capital'.
In addition, there are many people who are wanted by various countries, and they are also living in seclusion in the free city, but no country dares to come here to arrest people.
Because, it is said that the owner of this city is a powerful wizard!
