The Wizard of Amman is dead, dead on an island off the coast of the Misty Sea, which, according to the surviving Ora, is home to a sizable group of blue-scaled fishmen.

And the reason why these blue-scaled fishmen gathered together was because a blue-scaled prophet was born in their group.

Amman was killed in the battle with the Bluescale Prophet.

These news were not told to Lance by Ola, but by his father, Viscount Lane, who had returned from the north.

......

In the quiet Viscount's study, father and son were silent.

Lance's heart was shocked, and it took a long time to recover. To be honest, he didn't spend much time with Amman, but the old wizard had been teaching carefully after taking him as a disciple. Whatever questions Lance has, he will be very patient to answer them. This feeling made Lance feel very comfortable.

He felt that Amman was very kind, and he was one of the few people in the world who could be trusted.

However, it was such a person, a second-level wizard with powerful mana in Lance's eyes, who actually died like this.

"This time, our territory's military strength has suffered heavy losses, and half of the men and horses I brought to the north have been lost, but I have finally killed all those brutes. The Viscount sat behind his desk, and at this moment, the two of them seemed to return to the night that Lance had just crossed over.

Father and son sat there, talking to each other.

Viscount Ryan had actually only returned to the castle one step ahead of Lance, and he was also shocked and heartbroken when he heard the news. Amman is the most powerful and mysterious force in his territory, and a friend he has made for many years!

"Now that your teacher has also died with the blue-scaled fishman prophet, I'm afraid that the surrounding territories will be ready to move. Viscount Lane showed a hint of vicissitudes, over the years, the reason why he was able to occupy such a large fertile land on the west coast was not only due to his personal strong force, but also because of the support of Amman, a wizard behind him.

As soon as Amman leaves, there will inevitably be twists and turns around the territory.

"I heard that Poirot also made a mistake, and I just wanted to save them, but I didn't expect you to have the courage to lead someone to rescue them. Worthy of my son. The Viscount looked at Lance with some relief, and at the same time showed a hint of inquiry.

Lance reported what he had seen and heard, weakened his role a little, and told the viscount that the root of the demonization had been found by him, and he would never have to worry about Yunyun in the future.

The viscount nodded: "Since that's the case, I'm relieved." Actually, Amman's death has had the greatest impact on you, my child. ”

"Have you thought about your future?" asked the Viscount softly.

Lance suddenly raised his head, and at this moment, what he saw in the eyes of the always majestic viscount was full of warmth.

Viscount Lane, who has always been known for his iron blood and sternness, also has such a side?

Lance shook his head bitterly, as soon as Amman died, he lost his source of learning spells. He could only continue to grope slowly on the wizarding path alone, and without the guidance of his teacher, his progress would undoubtedly become a little slow. According to Amman, many of the most brilliant wild wizards end up with nothing to do without guidance.

I'm afraid he can only become a wild wizard and find his own way forward, right?

At the thought of this, Lance's mood became even heavier.

Who knew that Viscount Lu Dao muttered: "Actually, your teacher still pointed out a path for you before he died. ”

According to Ora, he led his soldiers in an attack on the fishmen's lair, while Amman and the Bluescaled Prophet engaged in a duel between the casters. The damned fish-man was struck by an ice pick in Amman, stabbed into the heart, and died directly, and Amman was unable to survive because of a spell by the Fish-Man Prophet. ”

Hearing this, Lance couldn't help frowning: "What spell?"

The viscount said calmly, "Fading light." ”

"Impossible!" Lance shook his head, "How could the debilitating light kill the teacher?"

Lance knew that the Debilitating Light was a first-order spell that could weaken a person's vitality and physical fitness, but it would never be possible to kill him.

The viscount smiled bitterly, "Of course, it is impossible for the fading light to kill ordinary wizards, but Amman is different. ”

"Do you know that he was actually my childhood playmate, the same age as me this year, forty-seven years old. ”

Lance was shocked!

Is his teacher the same age as his father? But he looks like an old man in his sixties and seventies!

"Is it ......?" a possibility came to Lance's mind.

"In order to impact the second-level wizard, he condensed the magic pool, and almost burned all his life force before he succeeded. So when he became a second-level wizard, his time was running out. The viscount smiled bitterly: "For a while, he tried to attack a more advanced third-level wizard, but he failed, so he left the wizarding organization he was originally in and returned to our hometown. ”

"He had about three years left in his life. But that damn fish-man ......"

At this, the viscount was silent. His fists clenched, and the green tendons on them betrayed his anger.

Lance understood. With the physique of ordinary people, the light of hard resistance to weakness is at most a few years old, but Amman has not had a few years to live, so he was naturally directly deprived of his life!

......

"Amman did not die immediately after being shot by the debilitating light, but he told Ora something. And Ola relayed all these things to me. ”

After a while, Viscount Ryan continued, "Now, I need you to make a choice. ”

"Do you still want to continue your wizarding path?"

"The wizard's path is very difficult and hard. For example, your teacher, he paid with his life in order to become a second-level wizard!"

"In the search for the truth, you will encounter many difficulties, evil wizards and evil monsters. You can die, die in a foreign land. You may also be exiled and never return to your homeland. ”

"Do you want to continue on this path?"

The Viscount's sharp eyes looked at Lance steadily.

Lance was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Of course." ”

Ryan's eyes immediately became extremely complicated, and he suddenly smiled, "I guess you'll do it, too." ”

"Before, I always thought that you and your mother were nothing like each other. But lately, I've found out that you and her are carved out of the same mold. ”

The Viscount sighed and moved something from the table beside him.

Lance looked closely, and saw that it was some scattered items.

"These are all left to you by your teacher on his deathbed. He said that if you want to continue your wizarding path, then take these things. The viscount explained, "He told you to go to Riverrun, take a boat to the northern Harbor of Winterwinter, and then to the Whispering Forest north of Harbor, and find a man named Hicks. ”

"He'll send you to the wizarding world. ”

Lance took the things, counted them a little, and found that there were twenty inferior magic stones of pure texture. This kind of magic stone is different from the useless guy at the bottom of the Moonlight Tower, the magic power contained in it is very pure, it can be absorbed and used without transformation, and it is also the hard currency of the wizarding world; a notebook, which records the production method of demonized items that Amman is good at; and some scattered magic materials, which should be carried with him when Amman goes to sea. At the end, there was a pale red letter with a rainbow-like rune printed on it.

"This is a letter of recommendation from Rainbow Island. The viscount explained, "Amman studied in this wizarding organization in the first place, and with this letter of recommendation, it shouldn't be difficult for you to join Rainbow Island." Your teacher has already arranged everything for you on his deathbed. ”

Rainbow Island?

Lance couldn't help but feel a little longing in his heart.

"Tomorrow I will send someone to Riverrun City to book a ticket for you, you prepare, I remember that in about half a month, there will be a ship that will go north to Winterhaven, when the time comes, you can go." The viscount said suddenly.

Lance was stunned, this is leaving?

It all came so suddenly, he was even a little caught off guard.

He looked up at the Viscount with a look of surprise.

The viscount looked at him quietly for a while, and then said slowly, "Let's go." This territory is not where you should be. You should go to the wider world. ”

"Father, are you driving me away?" asked Lance, a little bitterly.

Somehow, he suddenly felt some uncomfortable feeling in his heart. Over the years, he has developed a faint sense of belonging to this land.

The viscount shook his head and said, "We are people from the secular world, and once we become wizards, we won't have much intersection with mortals. Amman is an exception. Now that you've chosen the wizard's path, be prepared to endure its loneliness and boredom. ”

"Your brother will be my heir, and you, for many years, will not be spoken of by the people of this realm. The second son of Viscount Ryan will not appear in people's memories. You are not destined to belong here. ”

Lance's heart became heavier and heavier, and the feeling of reluctance became clearer and stronger.

"Anyway, though. Lance, you're all my child. The Viscount walked around the desk, opened his arms, and hugged Lance.

"Boy, wherever you go, whether you become a wizard or a god on high, you are my child. ”

He hugged Lance tightly.

"Good luck. ”

Lance's eyes were a little hot.

......

"Knock knock!" there was a knock on the door.

The viscount let go of Lance and said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”

The study door opened, and the tall Griffin walked in. To Lance's surprise, his brother was still wearing armor.

"Father, it's time for us to go. Griffin smiled at Lance and turned to the Viscount.

The Viscount nodded.

Lance asked, "Where are you going?"

Griffin straightened his armor and grinned, "Kill." ”

The viscount added coldly: "Fish-people." ”

"Those damn bastards, I'm going to kill them all!"
